Dustin Hoffman has been accused of sexual harassment by television producer and writer Wendy Riss Gatsiounis (“Reign,” “Genius”). The producer told Variety that Hoffman allegedly harassed and propositioned her for sex during a period of time in 1991 when she was working with the actor and “Tootsie” screenwriter Murray Schisgal on a potential film adaptation of her play, “A Darker Purpose.”
According to Riss Gatsiounis, two meetings occurred between the three parties in 1991. The young writer was hoping the film version of “A Darker Purpose” would be her big break and she had scheduled meetings with Hoffman and Schisgal to hopefully get the development process started. Both meetings reportedly took place at the offices of Hoffman’s Punch Productions at Rockefeller Center in New York City. During the first meeting, Schisgal allegedly asked Riss Gatsiounis whether she had a boyfriend or husband, to which Hoffman reportedly said, “Murray, shut up. Don...

Plot details on “Game of Thrones” Season 7 are predictably tight-lipped, but two major spoilers have arrived courtesy of costume designer Michele Clapton. Seriously, do not continue reading this post if you don’t want to be spoiled. Last warning.

In a new interview with Uproxx, Clapton broke down some of the season’s biggest style changes and what they mean for the respective characters, and she let it slip that Jon Snow will be having two very important meetings with two very important Queens. Kit Harington’s Snow will be donning a very Ned Stark-inspired fur cape this season, but not when one highly-anticpated meeting occurs.
“We had a lot of discussions about, does the cape give him presence, or is it better to not have that presence? What are we trying to say?...

Ritesh Batra’s romantic drama picks up Golden Pram.
The 11th Zagreb Film Festival (Oct 20-27), held in the Croatian capital, has concluded with Ritesh Barta’s The Lunchbox winning the main award
The heartwarming film, which stars Irrfan Khan and debuted at Cannes in May, won the Golden Pram for best feature film.
Khan plays a disillusioned government servant who starts a relationship with a housewife (Nimrat Kaur) through notes in a mis-delivered lunchbox.
In the competition of ten other first or second films by their directors, a special mention went to Croatia’s Nevio Marasovic for Vis-à-Vis, which is about a film director and his lead actor trying to bond on an isolated island.
The main jury was composed of film critic Leo Barraclough, Romanian producer Ada Solomon, and Serbian director Srdan Golubovic, whose Circles closed the festival.
German director Andy Wolff won the Golden Pram for best documentary for The Captain And His Pirate, while...

It's a solid idea for a film, anyway: In 1999, an American stealth bomber was shot down over Serbia by Yugoslav missile officer Zoltan Dani. Its pilot, Dale Zelko, parachuted safely away and was soon evacuated by the U.S. military. Twelve years later, the men decide to meet during peacetime. Moments in The Second Meeting command attention—largely interviews about the combat—but where the present is concerned, the film is more greeting card than documentary, meandering into a cheery haze. Zelko's self-shot domestic scenes are especially directionless: He sings constantly, he introduces his kids, he shoots his drive to work or even his feet walking. The Serbian footage, presumably shot by director Zeljko Mirkovic, is better chosen. Dani, now a baker, concentrates on hi...
