You know the old saying about the truth being stranger than fiction? Well, it's certainly one that applies to the story of Raynor and Moth Winn, a couple who — after a business deal with a friend went awry — lost their home, suffered a devastating neurodegenerative condition diagnosis for husband Moth, and then decided to walk the 630-mile South West Coast Path despite having no prior rambling experience. It's a simultaneously harrowing and inspiring story that first became The Salt Path, a bestselling memoir-cum-travelogue for Raynor Winn, and is now about to become a major new film starring Jason Isaacs (Hello!) and Gillian Anderson. You can check out the newly released trailer below:

If, like us, you're a sucker for walky-talky find yourself films like The Way, Wild, A Walk In The Woods, or The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry, then Marianne Elliott's film looks like it'll fit right within the micro-genre's milieu.

Exclusive: Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland), Maria Schrader (She Said), and Ramin Bahrani (White Tiger) are among the filmmakers set to attend this year’s Floodlight Summit in Cartagena, Colombia.

British actress Emma Mackey (“Barbie”) has landed the female lead opposite Glen Powell in J.J. Abrams’ forthcoming, untitled Warner Bros. movie.

Details about both Mackey’s role and the project in general are being kept under wraps. The film also stars Jenna Ortega.

Not much is known about Abrams’ new film except that it is not a time travel movie (as had been previously speculated) and that Abrams both wrote the script and will be directing. The project will be produced by Abrams and his production company Bad Robot.

Mackey, who first broke out with her role as Maeve Wiley on Netflix’s “Sex Education,” most recently starred in Greta Gerwig’s Oscar-winning “Barbie.” She is also the 2023 recipient of BAFTA’s Rising Star Award,

Other credits include playing famed novelist and poet Emily Brontë in Frances O’Connor’s Warner Bros drama “Emily,” and Kenneth Branagh’s “Death on the Nile.

BAFTA winner Emma Mackey (Barbie) is set to star opposite new A-listers Glen Powell and Jenna Ortega in J.J. Abrams’ still-untitled mystery movie for Warner Bros and his Bad Robot, Deadline has learned.

Mackey’s role is under wraps, as is the film’s plot, though we hear it’s not a time-travel film, as some have conjectured. Abrams will direct from his own script, with Bad Robot producing.

A 2023 recipient of BAFTA’s Rising Star Award, Mackey has most recently seen in Greta Gerwig’s Oscar-winning Warner Bros phenom Barbie, prior to that taking on the lead as famed novelist and poet Emily Brontë in Frances O’Connor’s Warner Bros drama Emily. Breaking out with her role as Maeve Wiley on Netflix’s Sex Education, Mackey has also previously been seen in Kenneth Branagh’s Death on the Nile. Upcoming, she’ll star opposite Fiona Shaw, Vicky Krieps...

The Netflix film Woman of the Hour tells the based-on-real-events story of serial murderer Rodney Alcala — better known as “The Dating Game Killer” — who appeared on the primetime game show in 1978, in the midst of a spree of violent attacks and murders of women. Anna Kendrick directs and stars in the film as Sheryl Bradshaw, an aspiring actor and Dating Game contestant who selected Alcala (Daniel Zovatto) as the winning bachelor on the show, but, like her real-life counterpart Cheryl Bradshaw, gets out of the encounter alive. Alcala died in...

There’s a scene in Shiori Ito’s searing documentary Black Box Diaries, in which the director, who is also the film’s subject, tells a swarm of reporters about trying to press criminal charges against her rapist. Like many sexual violence survivors forced into this ritual of public re-litigation, she is a model of what society has come to expect of courageous women. Her face betrays no emotion and she is dressed in the chaste uniform of the aggrieved: delicate earrings (Ito opts for pearls), a conservatively tailored blouse (a black button down here), and wearing little to no makeup (faint signs of blush and a single stroke of eyeliner).

Ito’s voice remains calm as she recounts the police’s initial refusal to accept her victim’s report and their arsenal of excuses: Sex crimes were difficult to investigate, they said; her rapist, Noriyuki Yamaguchi, the former Washington Bureau...

If there’s one thing Angelina Jolie is known for, it’s her fierce determination. With a bold personality, she’s always made it clear she knows what she wants, and that didn’t change when she crossed paths with Harvey Weinstein.

When she was still pretty young, she had an encounter with the former Miramax executive, and she didn’t hold back in describing just how awful the experience was. The actress even had a fight with her ex-husband Brad Pitt when she saw him working on projects that had Weinstein’s name attached. To this day, she’s still very outspoken about her feelings toward the convicted s*x offender.

In 2020, Harvey Weinstein was convicted of s*x crimes after being accused by several actresses.

“Beef” is officially moving forward with a second season at Netflix, with Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton, and Cailee Spaeny set to star.

It had long been rumored that a second season of the series was moving forward but nothing had been officially confirmed until now. The official logline for the new season states, “A young couple witnesses an alarming fight between their boss and his wife, triggering chess moves of favors and coercion in the elitist world of a country club and its Korean billionaire owner.”

The season will consist of eight 30-minute episodes. Lee Sung Jin returns as creator, showrunner, and executive producer. Steven Yeun, Ali Wong, and Jake Schreier also executive produce. A24 is the studio.

The first season of “Beef” starred Wong and Yeun as two people involved in a road rage incident that quickly escalates and disrupts both of their lives. The series debuted...

Anne Hathaway Issues Heartfelt Apology to Journalist After ‘Rude’ Encounter (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Anne Hathaway served up a heartfelt apology that no one saw coming! Years after her infamous 2012 interview moment with Norwegian journalist Kjersti Flaa, the Les Misérables star decided to make amends for what some called her “rude” and “dismissive” behavior. And let’s say this apology packed more drama than Les Misérables itself!

It all went down back in 2012 when Hathaway was promoting Les Misérables. Flaa had this bold idea—asking Hathaway to sing her answers, keeping with the whole musical vibe of the movie. While her co-stars like Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman jumped into the musical spirit, Hathaway was not having it. A sharp “No” here, a dismissive look there—Hathaway’s vibe screamed, “Don’t even try me!” It was like she’d been handed the world’s worst karaoke request, and her mic...

In 2021, when the New York Film Festival returned to in-person screenings, organizers noticed a surprising pattern in the ticketing and survey data.

Twentysomething moviegoers, they realized, had become the lifeblood of the festival. Their embrace of the beloved New York institution has since helped it make remarkable strides, surpassing pre-Covid attendance and sales levels. For more than six decades, the festival has occupied a key berth as the last big fest of the year, with a buzzy lineup of selections from Cannes, Sundance, Venice, Telluride and Toronto.

NYFF’s 62nd edition, which opens tonight with RaMell Ross’ Nickel Boys, is pretty much sold out. Uptake of passes for multiple films, or to gain the right to jump to the front of a wait list, jumped 14% vs. last year.

“I mean that’s the dream, right? Every cultural organization is worried about that. We really need to foster that next generation,...

Spanish director and actress Icíar Bollaín’s I Am Nevenka (Soy Nevenka), which premiered at the San Sebastian Film Festival that runs through Saturday, tells the story of Nevenka Fernández (portrayed by Mireia Oriol), the first Spanish woman to obtain a sexual harassment conviction of a politician.

The case that made Spanish headlines in 2001, long before #MeToo, focused on Ismael Álvarez (played in the movie by Urko Olazabal), the popular and powerful mayor of Ponferrada who brought the young Fernández into his team as councilor of finance.

Soon, she ends up being “relentlessly hounded by the mayor, a man used to getting his way both politically and personally,” notes a synopsis on the San Sebastian festival’s website. “Nevenka decides to report him, knowing that it will cost her dearly. A story based on true events turning its lead character into a forerunner of the #metoo movement due to being...

Swiss director Tim Fehlbaum’s “September 5,” which premiered on Thursday at the Venice International Film Festival, takes a story that seems to call for an expansive approach and situates it almost entirely within a couple of dark rooms. It focuses on a real event, the terrorist attack on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, and turns it into a procedural that follows not the terrorists or the athletes or the authorities, but the overworked crew of TV reporters trying to figure out how to cover an attack that took the world by surprise.

“September 5” is hardly the first film to deal with what became known as the Munich massacre – the documentary “One Day in September” won an Oscar in 1999, and Steven Spielberg dealt with Israel’s reprisals in “Munich” six years later – but it’s one that finds a new way into a story that has become sadly familiar.

After answering the call to defeat Thanos in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, Gwyneth Paltrow stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight to appear in shorts, Netflix’s The Politician series, a voice-acting role in She Said, and a guest voice role in American Horror Stories. While in big screen hibernation, she nurtured Goop, her wellness and lifestyle program. Now, Gwyneth Paltrow is ready to return to cinemas as a featured player in Josh Safdie’s mysterious new film project, Marty Supreme.

The forthcoming film hails from Josh Safdie (Uncut Gems), with the project based on a script he co-wrote with Ronald Bronstein. Initially, watercooler whispers pegged Marty Supreme as a film loosely revolving around a pro ping pong player. However, the latest gossip says it’s a fictionalized original film. Is the project still making moves to tell the story of ping-pong professional Marty Reisman? Your guess is as good as ours.

Gwyneth Paltrow is back.

The Oscar winner and Goop mastermind is joining Timothée Chalamet in Josh Safdie’s ping pong movie “Marty Supreme.” The project marks Paltrow’s first on-screen movie role since 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.”

No information was given about Paltrow’s role.

Plot details for “Marty Supreme” are kept under wraps, but studio A24 posted an image of a table tennis ball with the words “coming soon” after Variety broke news of the project in July.

Paltrow, one of the most acclaimed and commercially successful actors since the 1990s, has been largely absent from the big screen since acting opposite Robert Downey Jr. in the “Iron Man” and “Avengers” movies. Best known for her Academy Award-winning role in “Shakespeare in Love,” as well as “Sliding Doors,” “Emma,” “Se7en,” “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” “Proof” and “The Royal Tenenbaums,” Paltrow has lately devoted much of her time to the lifestyle brand Goop,...

On April 25, the day that Harvey Weinstein’s New York sexual assault conviction was overturned, those who had been most vocal in the months following the former mogul’s implosion in 2017 were conspicuously silent. The X account of Time’s Up, the organization that raised $26 million in the wake of the Weinstein accusations, appeared to be a relic frozen in time. Its last post, from January 2022, was a retweet of a Movement for Black Lives missive about Martin Luther King Jr. Likewise, actresses who had embraced Time’s Up’s mission offered no commentary. Jessica Chastain was tweeting about her skin care routine, while Reese Witherspoon was gushing about a Tennessee Titans draft pick. It was as though Hollywood had already moved on from the industrywide reckoning that Weinstein’s downfall sparked.

By contrast, those with a personal stake in Weinstein’s fate — such as attorney Gloria Allred, who represented key...

On November 16, 2019, the BBC got a “scoop” that just might have saved Britain’s premier network for news. That is the night it aired its seemingly impossible “get” of Hrh Prince Andrew actually sitting down with the BBC’s signature news show, Newsnight, to talk about the raging scandal over his relationship with the notorious Jeffrey Epstein, as well as his alleged sexual encounters with Virginia Roberts. However, the facts of the matter, such as they were, are not at all what the new Netflix film Scoop is all about.

Instead, much like She Said, The Post, Spotlight and All the President’s Men, the emphasis here is on the reporters, four key woman journalists who incredibly negotiated a sit-down interview with Andrew when such a thing would be unthinkable. They pulled it all off just at a time when facts themselves were on trial and the future of legitimate newsgathering...

Saturday Night Live cast member James Austin Johnson, best known for his impersonation of Donald Trump, has snagged his first live-action movie role since joining NBC’s sketch series in 2021.

Johnson has been cast in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown from director James Mangold, according to Deadline.

Timothée Chalamet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, and Monica Barbaro co-star in the film, which is set within the influential New York music scene of the early ’60s. Chalamet plays Dylan from the ages of 19 to 24 as he goes from an obscure Minnesota musician to the chart-topping folk singer whose groundbreaking performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965 saw him “going electric” — the project’s original title.

Production is currently underway in New York and New Jersey, not far from Johnson’s SNL job.

Although this is Johnson’s first live-action role in a film since landing SNL, he’s already landed...

One of America’s most celebrated writers and one of Steven Spielberg’s go-to collaborators on films such as Munich and The Fabelmans spoke out today on the Haaretz Podcast about the controversy over Jonathan Glazer’s speech after Zone of Interest won Best International Feature Film at the Oscars.

Speaking about protests in the U.S. and their impacts, Tony, Emmy and Pulitzer Prize-winner Tony Kushner expressed surprise at what he called “the blowback after Jonathan Glazer’s really sort of unimpeachable, irrefutable statement at the Oscars.”

Asked if he identified Glazer’s comments, Kushner replied, “Of course. I mean, who doesn’t?”

For context, here is a portion of Glazer’s speech:

Our film shows where dehumanization leads at its worst. It’s shaped all of our past and present. Right now, we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an...

Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan won the Academy Award for best director, his first Oscar ever, on Sunday night.

“I have so many people to thank,” Nolan said during his acceptance speech. “The most incredible cast, Matt Damon, Robert, Emily, Florence, just so many others, all at the top of their game, led by the incredible Cillian Murphy… a crew, some of whom have been awarded tonight. I can’t say enough about the incredible crew that we got together on this film. Thank you to Chuck Roven for putting the book in my hands… The incredible Emma Thomas, producer of all our films and all of our children. I love you. To the academy, just to say movies are just a little bit over 100 years old. I mean, imagine being there 100 years into painting or theater. We don’t know where this incredible journey is going from here. But to...

Acclaimed British actor, writer and director Samantha Morton who was awarded a Fellowship at the Ee BAFTA Awards on Sunday has called for more investment in British cinema.

The award is the highest recognition given by BAFTA to an individual for their exceptional contribution to the film, games or television industry.

Addressing a press conference after accepting her award, Morton said: “We need more investment in British cinema. I’ve been saying this for years because we can’t just be a service industry for the wonderful Americans. They are amazing and thank God they come here and make movies and put us in as well, thank you. Like in France, we need our own quotas and we need to be making those investments.” Inward investment in the U.K. film and high-end TV industry was $4.22 billion in 2023, with the bulk of it coming from the U.S.

The U.K....

Samantha Morton, the British actor (She Said, The Whale, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Walking Dead), writer (I Am…Kirsty) and director (The Unloved), received the BAFTA Fellowship, the British Academy’s highest honor at the BAFTA Film Awards in London on Sunday. But the outspoken star used her moment on stage to share very emotional words about children who live in poverty or who can’t live safely at home.

“For me, this is really nothing short of a miracle,” Morton said about receiving the honor, recalling how she was “hungry” and “cold” as a kid growing up in poverty.

“Film changed my life, it transformed me,” she continued. “When I first saw Ken Loach’s Kes… I was forever changed” seeing “poverty, people like me, my life and my family on the screen,” she said. Her conclusion: “Representation matters.”

Like British director Loach, Morton has...

Stars: Chuku Modu, Luna Mwezi, Iola Evans, Kit Young, Arno Lüning, Safia Oakley-Green | Written by Ruth Greenberg | Directed by Andrew Cumming

I can almost imagine Out of Darkness’ director Andrew Cumming pitching the film to potential backers as Quest for Fire meets Predator. And that would be a fairly accurate description of this Stone Age thriller about a tribe of early humans being picked off by an unseen foe. And one that makes it sound a lot less cerebral and more commercial than it might otherwise appear.

45,000 years ago, six early humans have left their tribe to find a new home. Leading the group is Adem, who also has his young son Heron and Ave who’s carrying Adem’s child along with him. Also making the trek are Geirr, Adem’s more cautious second-in-command and Odal’s who seems to be some kind of shaman and last, and certainly least,...

British actor, writer, and director Samantha Morton will be awarded the BAFTA Fellowship at next week’s Ee BAFTA Film Awards.

Born in Nottingham in 1977, Morton garnered international attention in 1997 with her performance in Carine Adler’s Under the Skin, earning her a BIFA nomination and the Boston Film Critics Award for Best Actress. She has been nominated for an Academy Award first for Best Supporting Actress for Woody Allen’s Sweet and Lowdown (1999), and later for Best Actress for Jim Sheridan’s In America (2003).

Acclaimed British actor, writer and director Samantha Morton will be awarded a Fellowship at the upcoming Ee BAFTA Film Awards.

The award is the highest recognition given by BAFTA to an individual for their exceptional contribution to the film, games or television industry.

After earning plaudits in theater and television, Morton’s breakthrough film role was Carine Adler’s “Under the Skin (1997) that earned her a BIFA nomination and the Boston Film Critics Award for best actress. She has been Oscar nominated twice – for best supporting actress for Woody Allen’s “Sweet and Lowdown” (1999), and for best actress for Jim Sheridan’s “In America” (2003).

For her portrayal of child-murderer Myra Hindley in “Longford” (2006) Morton scored best actress nominations for a Primetime Emmy Award and BAFTA Television Award, and won a Golden Globe. In 2009, she made her directorial debut with television film “The Unloved,” a semi-autobiographical film based in the British children’s care system,...

Samantha Morton, the British actor (She Said, The Whale, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Walking Dead), writer (I Am…Kirsty) and director (The Unloved), will receive the BAFTA Fellowship, the British Academy’s highest honor.

She will be given the honor at the BAFTA Film Awards ceremony, hosted by David Tennant (Doctor Who, Inside Man), in London on Feb. 18.

“As a proud BAFTA member I am honored, profoundly humbled and grateful to BAFTA for giving me this award,” Morton said.

Anna Higgs, chair of BAFTA’s film committee, lauded her as “a mesmerizing storyteller with incredible range,” adding: “She has made an extraordinary impact on the British film industry – consistently shining a light on complex characters and championing underrepresented stories. On-and-off screen, she always works to break down societal barriers and change the make-up of the screen industries for the better – often against great odds.” She concluded:...

Actor, writer and director Samantha Morton will receive the Bafta Fellowship at next week’s Bafta Film Awards, on Sunday, February 18.

The British performer and filmmaker will receive the award during the ceremony as part of a special commemoration of her work to date.

Morton, who hails from Nottingham, broke through with her role in Carine Adler’s 1997 Under The Skin, for which she received a Bifa nomination.

Her subsequent credits include Lynne Ramsay’s Morvern Callar, for which she won the Bifa for best actress; Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report; Anton Corbijn’s Control, for which she was nominated...

Maestro actress Carey Mulligan has broken one of Hollywood’s oldest taboos when it comes to Awards season: never say it matters.

Mulligan, who is Oscar-nominated for the third time this year for her role of Leonard Bernstein’s wife Felicia Montealegre in the Netflix biopic Maestro, told The Times of London of her joy at being nominated:

“(It) is just the coolest thing. Because it’s from your peers. It’s wicked.

And of all the actors who say that awards don’t matter and that it’s the work that counts? “They are 100 per cent lying.”

Mulligan added her voice to those protesting at the omission of Greta Gerwig from the Best Director category for her box office behemoth Barbie:

“I’m gutted for Greta because I don’t know what else you can do as a director to get nominated. You make a critically acclaimed film...

Death has taken many forms in media over the decades — from a Norm MacDonald-voiced Grim Reaper in Family Guy to an anthropologically-minded Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black — but no depiction is quite like in Tuesday. For the first trailer of the upcoming film, Julia Louis-Dreyfus has the ominous fate appear in the form of a shape-shifting, gravelly-voiced talking parrot.

“Madam, you need to say goodbye to your daughter,” Death warns Louis-Dreyfus.

The latest film from A24 is shaping up to be a tear-jerking drama as Lola Petticrew plays...

Julia Louis-Dreyfus gets a fantastical visitor while caring for her ailing daughter in the first trailer for the A24 drama Tuesday.

A24 released the trailer Thursday for Daina Oniunas-Pusic’s feature, which does not yet have an announced release date. Tuesday centers on Zora (Louis-Dreyfus) and her terminally ill daughter, Tuesday (Lola Petticrew), who meet Death in the form of a talking and size-shifting bird voiced by Arinzé Kene.

“Madam, you need to say goodbye to your daughter,” Death says calmly in the footage. “Life — every life — ends.”

Later, Zora has trouble coming to terms with saying goodbye. “I don’t know what I am without you, who I am without you,” she tells Tuesday. “I don’t know what the world is without you in it.”

Oniunas-Pusic wrote and directed Tuesday, which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival in September. Helen Gladders, Ivana MacKinnon and Oliver Roskill serve as producers.

Barbie director Greta Gerwig was notably snubbed in the best director category during the Oscar nominations on Tuesday. But following last year’s omission of any female filmmaker in the category, Anatomy of a Fall’s Justine Triet received a nomination.

Triet, Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things), Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer), Jonathan Glazer (The Zone of Interest) and Martin Scorsese (Killers of the Flower Moon) were nominated in the coveted category Tuesday morning.

Gerwig is a notable snub, as the Barbie director, throughout the awards season, received various best director nominations (the Directors Guild of America, the Golden Globes, Critics Choice) and wins (Palm Springs International Film Fest). She was also on various pundits’ prediction lists for best director, including from The Hollywood Reporter. Frontrunner Alexander Payne (The Holdovers) was also omitted.

Last year, no woman was nominated for best director. The nominees were Martin McDonagh (The Banshees of Inisherin), Todd Field...

Throughout 2023, we have been updating our “In Memoriam” photo gallery (view above). Scroll through to remember 36 entertainers from film, television, theater and music. Many were winners at the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys and/or Tonys. Here is a closer look at just a few of those we celebrate in our gallery:

Veteran actor Alan Arkin died on June 29 at age 89. He was an Oscar winner for “Little Miss Sunshine” and was also nominated for “The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming,” “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter” and “Argo.” He was a six-time Emmy nominee and won a Tony Award for “Enter Laughing.”

Composer Burt Bacharach died on February 8 at age 94. He was a six-time Grammy winner and also won at the Oscars and Emmys. Some of hit songs included “Walk on By,” “I Say a Little Prayer,” “Do You Know the Way to San Jose,” “Alfie,” “What the World...

Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Homicide: Life On The Street actor André Braugher died from lung cancer a few months after he was diagnosed with the disease, his representative confirmed to Deadline Thursday.

The 61-year-old died Monday. At the time his representative said the actor had died from a brief illness.

The two-time Emmy winning Braugher was perhaps best known his lead role Det. Frank Pembleton on David Simon’s dark police drama Homicide: Life On The Street, which focused on the homicide unit of the Baltimore Police Department. It ran for seven seasons on NBC.

In a statement Tuesday, NBC Entertainment remembered Braugher as an “actor that others in the profession would always aspire to be.”

“In addition to his prowess as a dramatic actor, his comedy chops were also on full display as the determined and passionate Capt. Holt in ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine.’ We will miss him tremendously,” the statement read.

It is a cruel, unfair twist of fate that we lost the amazing and talented Andre Braugher this week at the age of 61. Though Braugher appeared in notable film roles over the course of a handful of decades, like his debut role of Corporal Thomas Searles in Edward Zwick's "Glory," Brent Norton in Frank Darabont's adaptation of "The Mist," and real-life journalist and editor Dean Baquet in the recent "She Said," he was best known on the small screen for primarily playing men of authority, like his Emmy-winning turn as Detective Frank Pembleton of the Baltimore Pd on "Homicide: Life on the Street." For many viewers, Braugher is best known for playing another commanding cop, Captain Raymond Holt of the NYPD in the brilliantly silly eight-season sitcom "Brooklyn Nine-Nine." Both when it aired initially, and through binge-rewatches, it's clear that Braugher successfully balanced the serious and the loopy in his performance as Holt,...

At first blush, Andre Braugher cut a similar figure to Raymond Holt, the NYPD captain he spent eight seasons playing on the Fox-turned-NBC sitcom “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.” Both were imposing figures who carried a sense of gravitas: Braugher as a Juilliard-trained, Emmy-winning dramatic actor; Holt as a gay, Black police officer who’d overcome prejudice to climb his agency’s ranks. Both found themselves in a working environment with a zaniness that was superficially at odds with their well-earned reputations, whether a joke-filled network comedy or the precinct it was named for.

But just like his character, Braugher’s last major leading role in a television series before his death on Monday at just 61, the performer took naturally to this new environment. The straight man is a classic archetype in an ensemble comedy, and Captain Holt is initially introduced as a somber foil to Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg), a “Die...

Andre Braugher passed away this week at the age of 61, and his loss has been deeply, acutely felt by pretty much anyone who had ever seen even a moment of his work. Braugher was a powerful actor, capable of humor and grace and humanity relayed through just a line or a look. His entire filmography is well worth revisiting, but his final film role, in 2022's "She Said," stood out to the actor himself.

In the film, Braugher played Dean Baquet, the real-life former executive editor of The New York Times who oversaw the bombshell article exposing disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein's long history of sexual misconduct involving women written by Megan Twohey (Carey Mulligan) and Jodi Kantor (Zoe Kazan). In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter around the time of the film's release, Braugher admitted that director Maria Schrader did something he'd never seen before: allowing the actors to perform without rehearsing.

Obituaries are never easy to write, but this one hits particularly hard given the feeling of so much great work still to come: Andre Braugher, who made a name for himself playing a variety of authority figures in dramas and comedies has died following a brief illness. He was just 61.

André Keith Braugher was born in Chicago in 1962. The prodigious student attended the prestigious St. Ignatius College Prep in his hometown, then earned a BA from Stanford University and a master*s degree from Juilliard — he received scholarships to all three schools.

He considered medicine as a career but saw performing as more exciting. His initial work, as with so many others, was on the stage, in Public Theater Shakespeare in the Park productions in New York City, playing parts in various productions over the years.

His film career was solid, including roles in Glory, Primal Fear, Spike Lee's Get On The Bus,...

Andre Braugher, the two-time Emmy-winning actor who led a sense of grace, gravitas, and (when appropriate) humor to shows like "Homicide: Life on the Street," "Men of a Certain Age," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," and "The Good Fight" has died. Deadline confirms that the actor passed away Monday after a short illness. He was 61 years old.

Braugher was reportedly born and raised in Chicago to an equipment operator father and a postal worker mother but attended Stanford University before graduating from Juilliard's drama school. His first on-screen role was a big one: Braugher played a Union soldier in the 1989 film "Glory," where he acted alongside greats like Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman. The actor soon became a creative force in his own right, as his role as Detective Frank Pembleton on the seminal NBC series "Homicide: Life on the Street" made him a household name for TV fans. "We had a lot of great,...

Andre Braugher, two-time Emmy-winning actor of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Homicide: Life on the Street, has died at the age of 61. The actor died on Monday following a brief illness, his longtime publicist Jennifer Allen confirmed to Rolling Stone.

Throughout his career, Braugher garnered numerous accolades and his roles spanned television and film as he took on complex characters, traversing drama to comedy.

Born in Chicago on July 1, 1962, Braugher graduated from Stanford University with a Bachelor of Arts in theatre. He later attended Juilliard School and earned a Masters of Fine Arts.

Braugher died Monday after a brief illness, his longtime rep Jennifer Allen told The Hollywood Reporter. The cause of death turned out to be lung cancer.

Braugher starred as master interrogator Det. Frank Pembleton on NBC’s Homicide: Life on the Street for the first six seasons of the show’s acclaimed 1993-99 run, then played another cop, Capt. Raymond Holt — this time against type and for laughs — on the 2013-21 Fox-nbc sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

He won his first Emmy in 1998 for outstanding lead actor in a drama series for Homicide after a season that featured one of its most memorable episodes, “Subway.” That was a two-hander in which Pembleton tries to unearth whether a man (Vincent D’Onofrio) pinned between a Baltimore subway train...

André Braugher has died. The two-time Emmy-winning star of series including Homicide: Life on the Street, Men of a Certain Age and Brooklyn Nine-Nine was 61.

Braugher, whose first film role came alongside Matthew Broderick and Denzel Washington in the Ed Zwick-directed Glory, died Monday after a brief illness.

While Braugher peppered his résumé with comedies, many will remember him for his ferocious portrayal of Detective Frank Pembleton in the NBC drama Homicide: Life on the Street. Put him in “the box,” sweating out and outsmarting crime suspects in the interrogation room, and you were looking at a weekly dose of tour de force acting, as good as it got on television during that time. He won an Emmy for that show he starred in from 1992-98. His wife, Ami Brabson, recurred as Pembleton’s wife on Homicide.

Carey Mulligan claimed her first Oscar nomination for her lead role in the 2009 coming-of-age saga “An Education.” Then the British actress once again collected bountiful awards nominations (and some wins) for her role as a #MeToo- era femme fatale avenger in the darkly comic thriller “Promising Young Woman.”

Like many of the directors whose names appear on her resume, first-time helmer Emerald Fennell — the Season 2 showrunner for ”Killing Eve” who also plays Camila Parker Bowles in “The Crown” — has a distinctive vision that allows the actress to inhabit abundant shades of emotion, from ballsy and badass to pastel-pink and girly.

In 2022, her great work was in “She Said,” based on the intense investigation into sexual allegations against Hollywood mega-producer Harvey Weinstein. She followed in 2023 with possibly her greatest performance yet in “Maestro” opposite Bradley Cooper.

Tom Pelphrey will join Mark Ruffalo in the drama, which will follow members of an FBI task force and the criminals they’re trying to catch. The untitled series stems from Ingelsby’s overall deal at HBO, which he signed in the wake of Mare of Easttown’s breakout success.

The list of the 10 films chosen for the prestigious AFI Awards is out, and it is good news for Barbenheimer.

Both summer blockbusters Barbie and Oppenheimer are among the elite group chosen for the 2023 list by the specially selected AFI jury of critics, filmmakers, scholars, and AFI Trustees.

Also named are American Fiction, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, May December, Past Lives, Poor Things and the animated Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. The latter box office blockbuster is not only a rare animated feature making the list, but also the rare sequel to do it especially considering that 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse did not make the AFI list that year.

Netflix is represented by two films — Maestro and May December — and is the only distributor to have more than one of its movies on the list this year.

No film in AFI Awards history since their establishment...
