In an interview alongside Jason Sudeikis for Vanity Fair (via Uproxx), Olsen said she thought “Good for you,” regarding Johansson’s suit. “I think she’s so tough and literally when I read that I was like, ‘good for you Scarlett,’” she said. Sudeikis offered his own support for the suit, saying it was “appropriately bad-ass and on-brand” for Johansson. Instead of leaving it there, Olsen continued by sharing some fears she has for the streaming future....

There are many reasons why trans feminine identities have been more visible in the years that have seen a steady growth in trans media representation, which Time dubbed “The Transgender Tipping Point” in its historic 2014 Laverne Cox cover story. As “Her Story” writer and actress Jen Richards told me in 2017, “I think it’s more intriguing to the imagination and repelling to many people. That a man can become a woman, that’s more titillating....

Updated October 12: Variety has reported that Hong Chau has joined the stacked cast of Yorgos Lanthimos’ mysterious new film “AND.” Chau will soon be seen in Darren Aronofsky’s Oscar contender “The Whale” as Brendan Fraser’s character’s caretaker. A24 releases the film December 9.

Rossum’s comment prompted a Twitter user to respond by suggesting Rossum might have more interest in a shirt with the words “I get paid to get naked on TV” printed on it. During her near-decade on the Showtime series “Shameless,” Rossum often appeared in sex scenes. The actress snapped back to the troll: “I get paid to tell stories and life sometimes involves this awesome thing called sex. Maybe you’ve just never had any so you don’t know....

Episode 7, “The Theater and Its Double,” is the show’s most exciting high-wire act yet, a commentary on the series itself baked into the narrative in the form of a school play written by Rue’s friend Lexi (Maude Apatow). Levinson’s script is typically audacious in its structural energy, whipping from one intersecting character and relationship to another while mirroring all of them in the play that we view from a variety of perspectives in the audience, on stage, and behind the scenes....

“I hear the discussion and I respect both sides of it, I really do,” McGregor told THR. “I haven’t walked in Billy Porter’s shoes. I don’t know what it’s like to lose out on parts when you might feel it’s to do with your sexuality. So I can only respect his point of view.” McGregor is referring to Billy Porter’s appearance on THR’s 2019 Actor Roundtable. The “Pose” Emmy winner addressed sexuality-blind casting in Hollywood being an issue because it only works in one direction....

This incident took place at a residence in Pāhoa, Hawaii, where authorities responded to reports of an assault that took place at a private home in the Leilani Estates subdivision in lower Puna. (KITV Island Television has details.) During the course of a get-together, it was determined by police that Miller became enraged after being asked to leave the residence and allegedly threw a chair, which struck a 26-year-old woman in the forehead, resulting in a half-inch-sized cut....

Vanity Fair published an investigative piece chronicling “The Flash” star’s ongoing arrests and recent apology citing mental health concerns.

Miller has been arrested for disorderly conduct and harassment and then second-degree assault and received a felony charge for burglary in August....

The film was originally set up at 20th Century Fox back in 2015, as part of production company Chernin Entertainment’s long-running pact with the studio (other Chernin/Fox hits: the new “Planet of the Apes” trilogy, “Hidden Figures,” “The Greatest Showman,” and many more). Janiak and her writing partner Phil Graziadei came on board in 2017, and readied to craft a trilogy of films for theatrical release in the summer of 2020 (originally, the idea was to release them a month apart)....

“The Midnight Sky” (December 23, Netflix) could return Clooney to Oscar contention for the first time since 2013 Best Picture-winner “Argo” (produced with his partner and frequent co-writer Grant Heslov and director Ben Affleck). That came one year after Clooney scored not only an acting nomination for “The Descendants” but also an Adapted Screenplay nomination for “The Ides of March” (with Heslov and Beau Willimon). Clooney can do whatever he wants....

“Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths” certainly has one fan in fellow Mexican director (and one of the Three Amigos, also comprising Iñárritu and Alfonso Cuarón) Guillermo del Toro. The “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “Pinocchio” director moderated an onstage Q&A for “Bardo” at Los Angeles’ Academy Museum on Friday, joined by the likes of Iñárritu and others from the cast and crew. During his opening remarks, del Toro made his feelings about the movie clear — as well as his distrust of anyone who dismisses the movie for seeming convoluted or confusing or pretentious....

“I thought, ‘Oh, all these great scripts are going to come my way; these great directors are going to be banging on my door,’” Berry said about her post-Oscar career. “It didn’t happen. It actually got a little harder. They call it the Oscar curse. You’re expected to turn in award-worthy performances.” Why did Berry’s career not take off following her Oscar win? “I think it’s largely because there was no place for someone like me,” she said, while also noting that she doesn’t understand how she remains the only Black performer to win the Academy Award for Best Actress....

Stankey announced the news on a call with investors during the company’s Q4 2020 earnings report on Wednesday morning. Details such as pricing, the subscription plan’s amount of ads, and a specific release date were not provided. An ad-supported subscription option for HBO Max has long been anticipated; the AT&T-owned WarnerMedia said in 2019 that such a plan would be implemented following HBO Max’s launch but did not offer a timetable for the ad-supported tier....

IATSE members had previously voted with overwhelming turnout (90 percent of members cast ballots) to authorize a strike. Ninety-eight percent of those who voted cast their vote in favor of a strike authorization. Reasonable work hours, time for meals, and a living wage base pay for the lowest paid film crew were the issues IATSE was highlighting as basic work necessities in the negotiations. “However, the pace of bargaining doesn’t reflect any sense of urgency,” Loeb said....

The film’s concept, which imagines if a young girl could befriend her mother when she was her age, is the first time Sciamma has dabbled in anything verging on magical realism. Her work is always marked by a balance of simplicity and complexity; emotionally ripe scenarios are elegantly distilled and planted firmly in one or two characters’ perspectives. “Petite Maman” may be a small film, but it packs a lot into quiet moments of wonder....

Both movies focus on an isolated 911 police dispatcher on the phone with a possible kidnapping victim whose children are left home alone. We see the dispatcher but only hear the people he’s talking to as he gets more and more stressed about what’s happening beyond his control, miles away. Gyllenhaal happened to be prepping a Broadway monologue at the time he first saw the original — he went on to earn his first Tony acting nomination for “Sea Wall/A Life” — and was excited by the opportunity to exercise his theater chops in a performance piece....
