Created by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, who adapted “Love, Simon” for the big screen, the series expands upon the film with a young, closeted student at Creekwood High School: Victor Salazar (Michael Cimino). As with “Love, Simon,” “Love, Victor” is heartfelt and humorous — an extension of Becky Albertalli’s original novel and an opportunity for Aptaker and Berger to tell more queer stories with the help of executive producer Brian Tanen....

The multi-hyphenate pop icon is writing and directing her own musical biopic from a script co-written with Erin Cressida Wilson. Yet the screenplay editing process has been no “Holiday.” “I have a very long script that is really hard for me to make shorter,” Madonna told Variety. “I’ve been whittling away at it, but it’s like hacking off my limbs.” Julia Garner was offered the role of playing the “Like a Virgin” singer, with Julia Fox being rumored to portray Madonna’s longtime friend and fellow actress Debi Mazar....

Margiela technically left the fashion house he founded in 2009, but his vision has been carried on by his successors in occasional runway appearances and around the world in the brick-and-mortars housing the ready-to-wear Margiela line.

One of his first motifs was the jabot, essentially a decorative bib dating back to 17th-century royalty....

The expected news comes at what is essentially the halfway point of Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After the massive “Avengers: Endgame” wrapped up many of the franchise’s original storylines, the studio has rebuilt with a combination of new properties and legacy sequels. Films like “Black Widow,” “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” and “Thor: Love and Thunder” reminded fans that many of the heroes they love aren’t going anywhere. At the same time, movies like “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” and “Eternals” proved that Marvel still has plenty of new characters to introduce....

One of the many plot twists in Wes Anderson’s sprawling love letter to ex-pat journalism, “The French Dispatch,” is the romantic relationship between the characters played by Frances McDormand and Timothée Chalamet. In the film, McDormand plays journalist Lucinda Krementz, who’s reporting on a student protest breaking out in the streets of Ennui that soon erupts into a “Chessboard Revolution.” Despite her journalistic standards, Lucinda has a brief romance with Zeffirelli, played by Chalamet, and helps the revolutionary pen his manifesto....

Set between present-day Montreal and 1980s Beirut, “Memory Box” actualizes a treasure trove of unprocessed trauma in the form of a mysterious box of letters, scrapbooks, and tapes. When a curious daughter discovers a vast archive of her mother’s distant past, she begins to understand the difficult woman who raised her in new ways. As cassette recordings fade into voice memos, the work of filmmakers Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige blends old and new in a lyrical mixed-media dance of memory....
