Action comedy The Fall Guy starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt heads the new titles at this weekend’s UK-Ireland box office, opening in 702 cinemas through Universal.
Directed by David Leith, The Fall Guy is written by Drew Pearce and loosely based on a 1980s TV series of the same name about stunt performers.
Gosling plays a stuntman working on his ex-girlfriend’s directorial debut action film, where he becomes involved in a conspiracy surrounding the lead actor.
The Fall Guy debuted at SXSW on March 12; it is Gosling’s first credit as producer since his 2014 directorial debut Lost River.

“It is amazing to be here,” said Pedro Pascal in his first “Saturday Night Live” performance: a triumphant Season 48 episode for the sketch show, cross-promoting the actor/host’s hugely successful parts on Disney’s “The Mandalorian” and HBO’s “The Last of Us.”
“I was born in Chile and nine months later my parents fled Pinochet with me and my sister to the US,” Pascal continued in his opening monologue. “They were so brave, and without them I wouldn’t be here in this wonderful country. And I certainly wouldn’t be standing here with you all tonight.”
The 48-year-old actor began performing on screen in the late ’90s, appearing in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “NYPD Blue” among other popular TV series of the time. Pascal made his feature film debut in Julia Solomonoff’s “Hermanas” in 2005, and would later appear in “The Adjustment Bureau,” “Sweet Little Lies,...

Romania's arthouse films have won respect worldwide, but their lack of popularity among domestic audiences spells danger
Any new wave in cinema is duty-bound to make surprise its mission, cocking a snook at tradition and shuffling conventions. The one that broke in 2005 got off to a good start: hailing from Romania, a filmic backwater compared to Russia and Poland. Kicking off with Cristi Puiu's The Death of Mr Lazarescu – the whispered hit of Cannes that year – this revolution had ready-made class: it was aesthetically rigorous; serious-minded yet buoyed by a mordant sense of humour; it scraped its truths from the dingy fabric of everyday life, often covered in the residue of 42 years of communism.
Corneliu Porumboiu, Cristian Mungiu and Radu Muntean all followed up in this vein in the second half of the noughties, with pure festival-bait that was still clocking up awards this year when the drama Child's...

Out of the tens of hundreds of reality television stars who may or may not be on camera to make friends, there are only a couple who have translated their access inside the homes of millions of Americans into business success stories and burgeoning media careers. One is Real Housewives of New York’s Bethenny Frankel, who has leveraged an emotionally intelligent, but no bullshit Northeastern attitude and a love of booze and calorie counting into the building and subsequent $120-or-so million sale of Skinnygirl Cocktails, as well as daytime talk show produced by Ellen DeGeneres that’s likely to be picked up in the very near future for national syndication. The other is Laguna Beach and The Hills’ Lauren Conrad, who parlayed the spotlight in what may or may not have been a pair of scripted MTV teen dramas into no less than three fashion lines - The Lauren Conrad Connection,...

Projection mapping? Granimator? Holotronica? Dogboarding? The digital moving image festival presents yet another lineup of next-level music videos, graphics, animation and artwork, augmented by dauntingly up-to-date terminology. Some of it is awesomely futuristic, but much is actually fluffy and friendly – especially the new family oriented Sprites strand, and the fantastically silly Dogboarding. Specialities include Adam Buxton on Björk's music video career, a new documentary on Nasa (the all-star music project, not the space agency), bracing audio-visual installations, and a workshop on projection mapping (using buildings as cinematic backdrops, but you knew that, didn't you?).
BFI Southbank, SE1, Wed to 27 Nov
