Oscar-Contending Short ‘The Elephant Whisperers’ Centers On Indigenous Indian Couple And Their Sizeable Family

Let’s get this show on the road! While TV has mastered the art of the slow burn — looking at you, Law & Order: SVU — there comes a time for every relationship to flourish. And for certain TV couples, that time is 2023. 

A tense situation. The premiere of Harry & Meghan has come and gone, but Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s struggle with The Firm is just beginning, an insider exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly.

Varun Dhawan has been confirmed to star in the Indian series set in Amazon’s Citadel global franchise from the Russo Brothers.

When Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery arrives on Netflix on Friday, it will be more than just fans of the original film and Daniel Craig’s striped swimwear getting primed for the holiday movie bow.

While much of the global entertainment industry is witnessing a full-throttled return to in-person events, India’s festival circuit is experiencing a chequered re-emergence from Covid, in part due to political and funding challenges.

Reliving the past. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are revisiting the beginning of their romance on Netflix’s Harry & Meghan — much to the dismay of the royal family across the pond.

At the beginning of the Netflix documentary The Martha Mitchell Effect, Richard Nixon, deflated in his ex-presidential phase, sits for an interview with David Frost. A somber Nixon tells his natty interlocutor, “I’m convinced if it hadn’t been for Martha, there’d have been no Watergate.”

Her side of the story. Meghan Markle alleged that false stories about her were used by the palace to bury negative narratives about other members of the royal family.

For years HBO Documentary Films, under the stewardship of Sheila Nevins, dominated the Oscars, racking up nominations and wins left and right. But since her departure in 2018 it has faced an Oscar dry spell, at least in the documentary feature category. All that could change this year, in a major way.

“I had never heard of this guy, and I would be the kind of person who would know about the most prolific serial killer in the U.S.,” The Good Nurse director Tobias Lindholm said of the real-life Charles Cullen, played by Eddie Redmayne in the Netflix film.  

Crazy Heart writer-director Scott Cooper joined Deadline’s Contenders: LA3C awards-season event to discuss The Pale Blue Eye, his adaptation of the Louis Bayard novel about a gruesome West Point murder committed while none other than Edgar Allan Poe was a cadet in the military academy.

The new teaser for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's explosive Netflix documentary sees the couple look back on their wedding.

Meghan Markle, like other members of the royal family, have used fashion to voice feelings and emotions. The duchess revealed in her and Prince Harry‘s Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, that there was “thought” in her decision to consistently wear muted shades like black and navy.

Started off on the wrong foot? Meghan Markle‘s first meeting with Prince William and Princess Kate certainly left a lasting impression — but it might not have been a positive one.

Jordanian director Darin J. Sallam and producers Deema Azar and Ayeh Jadaneh have accused Israel of mounting a disinformation campaign against their film Farha and also rebuked the country for attempting to get it removed from theatres and Netflix.

Higher Ground, the production company founded by Barack and Michelle Obama, has established an enviable track record with Oscar voters, earning a Best Documentary Feature nomination last year with Crip Camp, and a win in 2020 for American Factory. It’s back in the Oscar race this year with Descendant, a Netflix documentary directed by Margaret Brown. 

While crafting the documentary Sr. chronicling the life of writer, director and actor Robert Downey Sr., filmmaker Chris Smith found himself, much like Downey’s films themselves, setting aside advance notions and following where the story took him.

Director Shaunak Sen says his award-winning film All That Breathes can be seen as “a kind of love story between man and bird.”
