‘Ghosted’ Director Dexter Fletcher & Skydance Reunite On ‘Fountain Of Youth’; James Vanderbilt Penning Script

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large One of my best friends in high school used to say she preferred the music of “post modern” (as the genre was dubbed at the time) groups like Depeche Mode because their sound was timeless, vs. the era’s disposable top 40 radio tracks, which were destined to sound dated in just a few years.

That was mostly on display Tuesday night at the Kia Forum, where Depeche Mode played the third date of its brand new “Momento Mori” tour. (They’ll be back at the Forum in December for two more shows.)

As a best-selling author, podcaster, presenter, patron for breast cancer charity CoppaFeel!, actress and mum to three boys, Giovanna Fletcher is certainly a woman with a jam-packed diary. Luckily for us, the winner of 2020’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! has found time in her schedule to talk about her latest projects – following a very special new royal appointment. Giovanna famously struck up a bond with the Princess of Wales when Kate was a guest on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast back in 2020.

“Daisy Jones & the Six” executive producer and director Nzingha Stewart had a tall order in helming the second half of the limited series, but she took inspiration from a surprising place when it came to tackling these final episodes.

Josselson is on a bit of a Stephen Sondheim spree — with Telsey he also helped cast the new production of “Sweeney Todd,” starring Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford. And he and his partner at JZ Casting, Katja Zarolinski, just collaborated for the first time with the Pasadena Playhouse to cast “A Little Night Music,” playing at the theater April 25-May 1. 

Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan and Martin Gore have spoken to NME about how the death of Andy Fletcher impacted their dynamic, and said that the loss brought them closer.The two surviving members were speaking as part of a new interview with NME when they opened up about how Andy Fletcher’s death last year impacted the band. Frontman Gahan likened the loss of the keyboardist to that of The Rolling Stones’ late drummer, Charlie Watts.“With The Stones losing Charlie Watts, knowing about their longevity and how it’s fucking hard work to keep a band going for that long, you realise how it’s got to be losing an anchor,” Gahan told NME.
