Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk and Bill Burr will hit the Broadway stage next year in a revival of David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play Glengarry Glen Ross.
Set for a spring 2025 opening, Glengarry Glen Ross will mark a return to Broadway for Culkin but Broadway debuts for both Odenkirk and Burr. They’ll be directed by Patrick Marber, the Tony-winning director for Leopoldstadt.
Additional cast, exact dates, full design team, and Broadway venue will be announced at a later date. Jeffrey Richards and Rebecca Gold are the lead producers.
“In 1983, I saw the original production of Glengarry Glen Ross in London,” Marber said. “I was just nineteen. The play blew my young soul away. It was one of the reasons I wanted to work in theatre. Forty years later, I am so thrilled to be directing it on Broadway with these incredible actors.

Skynet is making its return: the trailer for the Netflix animated series “Terminator Zero” has been revealed.
The series follows the aftermath of Skynet, an AI being, gaining consciousness and waging its war against humanity in “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.” It becomes self-aware on Aug. 29, 1997, after which a war rages on for decades.
“Terminator Zero” is set in 2022 and follows a soldier, Eiko (Rosario Dawson), who is sent back in time to change the fate of humanity. She journeys back to 1997 to protect a scientist named Malcolm Lee (André Holland), who is working on another AI system, Kokono (Sonoya Mizuno) to compete with Skynet. Although it exists in the Terminator universe, it centers entirely around new characters.
The trailer sees Lee attempting to save the Earth from Skynet, while being hunted down by an assassin from the future.
Timothy Olyphant and Ann Dowd round out the voice cast. David Ellison,...

Amid pouring rain, Demna Gvasalia’s latest Balenciaga collection was staged at nightfall in Shanghai on May 30 on the banks of the Huangpu River. Held on the rooftop of Shanghai’s Museum of Art Pudong (Pam), the runway event saw brand ambassador Michelle Yeoh, Sophie Marceau and singer Juyeon of The Boyz sheltering under large black umbrellas.
Held independently of the Paris fashion show calendar — and following the Pre-Fall 2024 fashion presentation held on a street in Los Angeles last December — Balenciaga’s new Spring 2025 collection came to light among the skyscrapers of the bustling Chinese metropolis. The mood: very theatrical, almost somber, visually impactful, provocative and offbeat. It is atypical for spring with Balenciaga putting mostly black in place of the colors of the beautiful season, with looks poised between surrealism and glamour.
On the runway, there was a parade of nightmarish figures, elongated silhouettes wearing super-high boots with Xxl platforms,...

“Very beautiful and very challenging.” Those are the first two words that director Stefano Sollima uses to describe his upcoming, four-part Netflix crime series Il Mostro, which has just finished filming. Created by Leonardo Fasoli and Sollima (who also co-produced with Lorenzo Mieli), and produced by The Apartment — a Fremantle company — and AlterEgo Productions, this is a series that has faced titanic challenges. Sollima is no stranger to the crime genre, having directed the so-called Romanzo Criminale (criminal Rome trilogy) — Acab (All Cops Are Bastards), Suburra and Adagio — as well as Soldado the 2018 sequel to Denis Villeneuve’s Sicario, and Senza Rimorso (Without Remorse), the 2021 thriller co-written by Taylor Sheridan and based on the book by Tom Clancy. This is all in addition to being the showrunner on the seminal Italian crime series Gomorra and ZeroZeroZero, his ambitious series based on Roberto Saviano’s book about the international drug trade.

Giorgio Armani is not Donatella Versace. He doesn’t like politics. He doesn’t like controversy. He never gets out of line on current political events. He loves to talk only about fashion. Most of all, his own.
Donatella Versace, for her part, often takes a stand. Her speech on the stage of Milan’s La Scala Theater during the Fashion Awards last year was memorable. A harsh frontal attack on Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni for her discriminatory policies toward same-sex parents, it was heard around the world.
Although he might be sensitive to the topic, Giorgio Armani, on the other hand, for one of his show finales a few seasons ago, paraded five couples — each composed only of a man and a woman, couples ostensibly heterosexual and traditional — down the runway. “It’s a precise choice I wanted. To see an attractive, serious couple again,” the designer admitted...

Don 3: Emraan Hashmi and Ranveer Singh(Photo Credit –Instagram)
Ever since Ranveer Singh replaced Shah Rukh Khan in Don 3, fans of the franchise have been eager to know any updates. The Farhan Akhtar directorial has grabbed eyeballs since the change in the casting decision. After all, Srk played Don with such charm and style, and only some were ready for the change. But we all know that Farhan is an incredible director, and Ranveer is a versatile actor.
Don is an anti-hero character and has a lot of enemies. Do you remember how Boman Irani fooled every one in the first movie starring Srk? Well, the audience wants that kind of intelligent villain to trick them. Recently, there were rumours that Emraan Hashmi will play the main villain in Farhan’s directorial. The Showtime actor has now reacted to the same.

Despite the streamer dipping its toes in the water with a $15 million-grossing limited release of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery during Thanksgiving 2022, and a hot title in the July 3 release of Eddie Murphy’s Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria has no plans to double down on theatrical more than the Ott entertainment conglom already has.

Pedro Alonso, much like Berlin, the character he plays in Money Heist, is distinguished, charming and charismatic. The success of the Netflix crime series has made the Spanish actor a global star and his fame has only gone up since the launch, on Dec. 29, of Money Heist prequel Berlin, in which he reprises his role as the conniving, manipulative thief who is also a hopeless romantic.
Alonso admits to feeling “vertigo” at the level of media exposure that came with the international success of Money Heist but says he doesn’t worry about being typecast in the role. Instead, he sees the chance to return to Berlin in the spin-off series a “vital gift [both] narrative and professional.”

Sullivan's Crossing premiered earlier this month on The CW, and the Canadian import has been delivering vintage small-town drama since.
Sullivan's Crossing Season 1 Episode 2, which aired this week, ended with quite the shocker in the form of Andrew (Allan Hawco) arriving in town.
Before that, Cal (Chad Michael Murray) walked Maggie (Morgan Kohan) home after drinks at the bar.
The scene found Andrew threatened by Cal walking his girlfriend home, so naturally, my first question to series creator Roma Roth was: How threatened should Andrew be?
"Well, [Cal] is played by Chad Michael Murray," Roth shared with a laugh, adding, "So I think very, but I also think Andrew has his own baggage he's carrying around from a divorce."
Roth says that Andrew was feeling threatened before he even arrived in town because he was struggling with the fact that his girlfriend fled Boston.

The cast and filmmakers behind Netflix’s Israeli series “Fauda” are speaking out and taking action amid the Hamas attacks in Israel.
Actor Lior Raz, who also produces the series, is a former Israeli special forces unit soldier. Following this past weekend’s attacks on Israeli by the Iran-backed terrorist group, Raz traveled with “Fauda” co-creator Avi Issacharov and Israeli Democracy Institute head Yohanan Plesner, to join the fight against Hamas with his fellow members of the group Brothers in Arms, who had previously protested against efforts by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to overhaul the country’s judiciary.
He later posted a video, writing, “I headed down south to join hundreds of brave ‘Brothers in Arms’ volunteers who worked tirelessly to assist the population in the south of Israel. We were sent to the bombarded town of Sderot to extract two families. No fear!” Sderot is just a few miles...

No, this isn’t One Tree Hill, but the Canadian drama Sullivan’s Crossing, which made its Stateside debut on The CW on Wednesday. (One could even argue that Murray’s experience with seaside-ish shows goes back to Dawson’s Creek, although the actor appeared during the college-set season.)

Candiani Denim has unveiled the first jeanswear brand with natural, biodegradable yet stretchy fabric ever produced and distributed to date. Coreva Design, the name of the new line, takes advantage of the elastic properties of a plant material, derived from natural rubber, to provide comfort without having to resort to the use of synthetic yarns. It’s a stretch denim canvas that, by not using plastics, reduces its ecological impact at the end of its life by degrading in less than four months instead of 200 or more years.
The ambassador of the new brand is U.S. singer-songwriter LP, who topped international charts with the 2015 single “Lost On You.”
“I haven’t eaten meat for over 20 years. I never wear fur. I only own one naturally electric car. When I dress I try to make a conscious and sustainable choice. I have to admit that I do wear some leather from time to time.

Peter Gonzales Falcon, the Texan who starred as a young Federico Fellini in the director’s semi-autobiographical Roma, has died, according to his friend Aurelio Montemayor. He was 75.
Gonzales Falcon got his start with a bit part in Viva Max (1969), a satirical film about a modern-day Mexican general (Peter Ustinov) who retakes the Alamo.
The actor went on to model for a year in London before he landed the role that would make his career.
In 2018, Gonzales Falcon related the story of auditioning for Fellini after being recommended by actor Eugene Walter, a friend of a friend:
I went to Cinecittà where there was a line about a block long with young men wanting to meet Fellini. I went around the line to the main door and buzzed. The door was opened by Liliana [Fellini’s longtime assistant] who looked like a little Edward G. Robinson and even had a cigar in her mouth.

Developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux, the new chapter in the Assassin saga was shown during the influential German video game convention, and will launch on PC, PlayStation and Xbox on Oct. 5, 2023.
The trailer, titled “The Round City of Baghdad,” offers a cinematic look at the Arab city in the 9th century, during its Golden Age. The clip also gives details about the history of the protagonist, Basim, and the Assassin’s Creed. “My sword spares the innocent,” Basim states in a voice-over, “but not the order of the ancients.” There are also several snippets in the film that frame some sides of the game’s gameplay, on the possibilities of stealth and acrobatic actions above the buildings of the Middle Eastern city.

Italian film legend Isabella Rossellini took a break from the tour of her one-woman theater show Darwin’s Smile, to attend this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where she’s among the stars of La Chimera, the highly anticipated new film from Alice Rohrwacher.
The young Italian director, hot off her Oscar nomination in the best live-action short category for The Pupils, has been a Cannes favorite since her 2014 feature The Wonders took the festival Grand Prix. Her 2018 follow-up Happy as Lazzaro won the best screenplay honor.
In the new film, Rossellini plays the mother of the dead lover of Arthur, a black-market archaeologist, played by The Crown star Josh O’Connor, switching between English and Italian throughout the film.
