Film Constellation Boards Berlinale Title ‘Funny Face’ (EXCLUSIVE)

We are ready for another week of BTS flooding our Twitter and Instagram timelines. The K-Pop band dropped their new album Map of the Soul: 7 last week. As part of their promotional activities, the band is hop-scotching from one US show to another. The band appeared on Today Show and is set to appear on a special, pre-recorded episode of The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon on February 24. International television host Jimmy Fallon took to Twitter and shared a glimpse of the episode. 

Are we heaven? Every day, we wake up to some interesting updates from the BTS front. Ever since the Bangtan Boys announced their comeback album aka Map of the Soul: 7, the ARMY has been treated to new videos and updates from the K-Pop band.

Michael Pena has had a week to remember. It began by hitting the winning putt for Team Tiger Woods at the Celebrity Cup alongside Alex Rodriguez, Oliver Hudson and Chris Pratt to the release of his new film Fantasy Island on February 14.

Amazon Studios has signed on to finance and distribute “The Map of Tiny Perfect Things,” a YA adaptation from Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman and FilmNation.

Last week, US television show host Jimmy Fallon announced that BTS will be returning to The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. He shared a video confirming their return. Although the announcement, Fallon hasn't revealed the air date of the special episode, he had reached out to the ARMY requesting them for questions to ask BTS. While fans await updates on the episode from the talk show host, a few tweets claim that Korean media has reported insights into the BTS x Jimmy Fallon episode. 

Mura Masa and slowthai made their US TV debuts on The Tonight Show on Tuesday, bringing their recent collaboration "Deal Wiv It" to life with a high-energy performance. Slowthai provided the fire, stripping to the waist before clambering across host Jimmy Fallon's desk and onto his couch. Check out the performance above.

Sixty years. That’s how long a Louisiana judge sentenced Rob Richardson to serve for armed bank robbery. Garrett Bradley covers more than a third of that term in “Time,” and the cumulative impact — boiled down into an open-minded and deeply empathetic 81 minutes — will almost certainly rewire how Americans think about the prison-industrial complex.

The American Film Market has cut two days from its schedule and will run for six days, starting in November with its 41st edition.

Every summer, more than 1,000 teens swarm the Texas capitol building to attend Boys State, the annual American Legion-sponsored leadership conference where these incipient politicians divide into rival parties, the Nationalists and the Federalists, and attempt to build a mock government from the ground up.

Fox has given a pilot order to a mockumentary series based on the British series “This Country.”

It took four movies before Lee Isaac Chung was ready to tell the kind of story first-timers so often rush to share straight out of the gate. Not a coming-of-age movie so much as a deeply personal and lovingly poetic rendering of his Korean American childhood — specifically, how it felt for his immigrant family to adjust to life in small-town Arkansas — “Minari” benefits from the maturity and perspective Chung brings to the project.

Sony Pictures Classics has teamed with Sony’s Stage 6 Films to oversee the global release of Heidi Ewing’s feature narrative debut “I Carry You With Me (Te Llevo Conmigo),” a gay love story about two men who immigrate to the United States. The deal follows the movie’s enthusiastic reception at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The romantic drama debuted to multiple standing ovations in Park City, where it was shown in the NEXT section. It will be released later this year.
