“Nobody’s in the running,” Broccoli said. “We’re working out where to go with him, we’re talking that through. There isn’t a script and we can’t come up with one until we decide how we’re going to approach the next film because, really, it’s a reinvention of Bond. We’re reinventing who he is and that takes time.” Her words are unlikely to tamp down fan speculation about the casting, which will only increase until a new 007 actor is announced....

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Brunson opened up about reaching the television stratosphere. She explained that, while she’s grateful for the show’s success, she isn’t going to let the adulation cloud her creative vision. “On one hand, I’m super happy to represent very positive things to people,” Brunson said. “It makes me feel humbled and grateful. I try not to live in it too much because I think it’s a trap....

The sophomore season of Sterlin Harjo’s “Reservation Dogs” felt a lot like the final season of “Atlanta,” with an emphasis on strong bottle episodes that ultimately compelled the Res Dogs to seek their own individual identities. But the season finale, appropriately titled “I Still Believe,” ultimately drew the foursome back together to find strength and faith in their friendship. A trip to California, a meeting with white Jesus, and a trip to the beach was enough for the Res Dogs to finally close the chapter on what sparked the series in the first place and enter Season 3 with an entirely clean slate....

“Bear in mind, I spent five hours in makeup that morning with the prosthetic team changing my face into Trump’s face,” Baron Cohen said. “This fat suit is huge. It’s a 56-inch fat suit to turn my waist into Trump’s because we had estimated that was the most realistic.” Baron Cohen continued, “Then I ended up hiding in the bathroom, listening to conservative men go to the toilet for five hours until I broke into the room....

The idea in presenting the Telluride selections is to recommend the best in film this year in hopes that audiences will seek out these movies at other fall festivals (or what remains of them) down the line. With the 2021 Academy Awards pushed way out to April 25, there’s at once less pressure on these films to perform for awards but also a crush of movies backlogged since quarantine hit, making for a competitive season....

Come hither all cannibals, ritual sacrificers, and Antler Queens alike: “Yellowjackets” just gave a Season 2 update. The viral hit Showtime series that follows a group of high school soccer champions after a 1996 plane crash through their present lives is eying a “late summer” production start date. Quite possibly the most disturbing show of last year, “Yellowjackets” stars Melanie Lynskey, Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci, and Tawny Cypress as the grown-ups still grieving (and hiding from) their past, when they were stranded in the wilderness and left to desperately try to survive....

And what director Rhys Frake-Waterfield wanted to do was get very, very bloody. In an interview, he explained that his take on the beloved children’s literary characters is not going to pull any punches. According to him, “Blood and Honey” is a revenge-driven film that sees the anthropomorphic animals taking revenge after Christopher Robbin grows up and abandons them. “They get enraged when they see him, and all of their hatred that they’ve built up over the years unleashes and they go on this rampage,” Frake-Waterfield said....
