Fivel Stewart Joins ‘Bellmount’ Action Thriller; Well Go USA Acquires Johnny Strong’s Military Action Thriller ‘Warhorse One’; ‘Dotty & Soul’ Gets New Clip – Film Briefs

Hollywood is not a young man's game these days. Stars like Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Travolta, and Nicolas Cage dominated the Cannes Film Festival this month, showing no signs of career slowdown.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director The 2023 Cannes Film Festival has been a big one for the Depp family. Johnny Depp opened the festival as a star of Maiwenn’s royal drama “Jeanne du Barry,” while his daughter, Lily-Rose Depp, headlined HBO’s “The Idol,” which delivered Cannes its most controversial world premiere thanks to its many scenes of graphic sex and nudity. “I’m super happy for him. I’m super excited,” Lily-Rose told ET Canada while at Cannes, where Johnny Depp choked up during a seven-minute standing ovation after the “Jeanne du Barry” world premiere. “And it’s so awesome that we get to do projects that we’re super proud of.” The opening night premiere for “Jeanne du Barry” marked a comeback for Johnny Depp on the international film stage following his 2022 trial against ex-wife Amber Heard. Although the jury sided in Depp’s favor, the actor remains sidelined by Hollywood as a result of abuse allegations that surfaced during the trial. A U.S. distributor has yet to pick up “Jeanne du Barry” for an American release.

Susanna Reid has said that she'll be taking a brief break from Good Morning Britain for half term. The broadcaster confirmed that she'd be taking a week off for the school holiday after entertainment presenter Richard Arnold let the news slip during his segment.

Johnny Carson, the king of late-night television, hosted his final episode of "The Tonight Show" on this day in history, May 22, 1992, after a 30-year run.  Carson conducted about 22,000 interviews during his tenure and was seen by more people on more occasions than anyone else in U.S. television history, according to the Vancouver Sun.

In 2019, Johnny Depp sued his ex-wife Amber Heard for defamation, after Heard wrote an article published in the Washington Post in which she referred to herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse”. In 2020, the actor lost a separate libel case in the UK against the Sun, which had called him a “wife beater” in print. The US defamation hearing took place in 2022 in Virginia, and the jury ruled that Depp had been defamed by Heard.
