All Of Us Strangers, released in cinemas this week, and recently uncovered some details about their friendship during an exclusive interview with NME.Scott, best-known to fans of BBC sitcom Fleabag as the ‘Hot Priest’, revealed his reaction to Mescal dressing up as the character for Halloween in 2022. The image, which also features Mescal’s Normal People co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones in costume as Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s titular ‘Fleabag’, went viral and has since become a frequently referenced moment in Mescal’s career.

Just when you thought it was all over… they pulled themselves back in! According to a new report, Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny are once again back together after having broken up a few short weeks ago. Surprise!!

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’s” infamous train scene was meant to take place aboard the Orient Express, as it roars through the Swiss Alps; which for production is a big request if you’re not shooting on location. “We scouted a few places and ended up in Norway,” says the film’s cinematographer Fraser Taggart who also worked on “Mission: Impossible – Fallout.” For practicality, Norway ended up being the perfect location. Not only did Taggart have a good relationship with Norway after “we filmed ‘Fallout’ there, the train scene and location needed to work with the motorcycle jump, but we found a railway in Norway from where we were going to shoot the motorcycle jump, and it all worked out.” In the film, Tom Cruise performed a stunt that has been billed as the most death-defying one of his acting career thus far.

told The Sunday Times. “The issue is that there have been so many queer performances in cinema that have been offensive, but that’s because the filmmakers and the actors have been careless.” “I don’t think this film exists in that conversation whatsoever.

Paul Mescal has spoken out about whether straight actors should play queer roles.The actor is due to star in All Of Us Strangers with Andrew Scott (Fleabag, Sherlock), where the pair will engage in an on-screen romance. It is set to be directed by Andrew Haigh (Looking, 45 Years).In a new interview with The Sunday Times, Mescal opened up about playing a gay character as a straight man.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor The tiny details mattered in transforming Helen Mirren into “Golda.” In the film, Mirren plays the first female prime minister of Israel, Golda Meir, and follows her leadership during the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Special effects makeup designer Karen Hartley Thomas did not want to turn Mirren into a caricature, so the less-is-more approach was the right way to go on this film. Four makeup artists spent two and a half hours applying a nose bridge, tip pieces and adding in teeth.

Spare a moment for the degree of difficulty encountered by Jamie Bell as he grappled with the character director Andrew Haigh had written for him on the pages of All of Us Strangers. How does a 37-year-old actor, best known to audiences for his role as a preteen ballet prodigy, wrap his head around playing a father to the 47-year-old Andrew Scott, resurrected from an era before Bell was born? And how does he navigate not only paternal responsibility, but also the complication of being, impossibly, a generation younger than his own son?

Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal are no strangers to the “internet boyfriend” phenomenon — a term used to describe a collective crush by social media users. And they are perfectly fine with being in a league that includes Timothée Chalamet, Pedro Pascal, and Oscar Isaac.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor “The Holdovers” production designer Ryan Warren Smith pieced together five school locations for Alexander Payne’s latest. In the retro movie, set in the early 1970s at the fictional prep school Barton Academy, Paul Giamatti’s grumpy teacher Paul Hunham is left to look after students who have no place to go over the Christmas break. Smith studied Hal Ashby’s “The Landlord” and “The Last Detail,” both released around that period, while creating the production design for “The Holdovers.” He observed everything in those films were stripped down, at least when it came to production design.
