Jonathan Butterell Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

With his new highly-anticipated film Challengers bowing this weekend, Mike Faist looks to have found a new agent and manager as he as signed with WME and Brillstein Entertainment Partners for representation. He will continue to work with former agent Samantha Stoller, who transitioned to management in February.

David Benedict Canny casting of Mike Faist (“West Side Story”) and Lucas Hedges (“Manchester by the Sea”) and abundant efforts to honor Annie Proulx’s short story “Brokeback Mountain,” immortalized in Ang Lee’s screen version, are all in place. Above all, the sincerity underpinning director Jonathan Butterell’s premiere of a stage version is never in doubt. But despite a live soundtrack of bluegrass and country songs, the production only proves you can have too much fidelity. Sticking so doggedly to the original, the production fails to find anything approaching a satisfying theatrical form. Staged in-the-round in London’s 602-seat Soho Place theater, Ashley Robinson’s notably sparse adaptation of Proulx’s story confuses literary with literal. Borrowing the story’s introductory paragraphs, Robinson provides a cliched framing device, showing the older version of Ennis (Paul Hickey) waking up besieged by difficult memories. From his bedside radio, we hear the first of Dan Gillespie Sells’ original country songs welling up. The pedal steel guitar sets the scene, but its title and chorus “Don’t Let the Years Get You Down” is an immediately worrying indication that the production will be telling as well as showing.

Brokeback Mountain is heading to the West End.

Naman Ramachandran Annie Proulx’s short story “Brokeback Mountain” is set for a stage adaptation on London’s West End. The story was previously adapted as a 2005 film by Ang Lee, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, playing Jack and Ennis respectively, who take jobs on the remote Brokeback Mountain and develop a relationship. It won three Oscars – for direction, adapted screenplay and score. The West End adaptation will star Mike Faist (BAFTA-nominee for “West Side Story”) and Lucas Hedges (Oscar-nominee for “Manchester by the Sea”) as Jack and Ennis. Both actors will be making their West End debuts.

BAFTA-nominated Mike Faist and Oscar-nominated actor Lucas Hedges will star in a London stage adaptation of Annie Proulx’s best-selling novel Brokeback Mountain.

EXCLUSIVE: Max Harwood, who recently made his acting debut as the lead in Amazon’s adaptation of the stage musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, has signed with WME for representation.

Max Harwood, Jamie Campbell and Lauren Patel come together for a cast pic at the premiere of their new movie, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, held at Crucible Theatre on Friday (September 17) in Sheffield, England.

Much of “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” is like its aspiring drag queen protagonist (Max Harwood), torn between the anxious modesty of inexperience and the bombast bursting at the seams. It’s frankly not a bad place to start, as what fuels the film is a flavor of sincerity that inexplicably, and for better, I think, generally doesn’t work beyond its means and place its audience in a headlock of earnestness.

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka welcomed the stars of the movie Everybody’s Talking About Jamie into the home for an incredible screening event this past weekend!

Max Harwood is making his movie debut in the upcoming musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie and he just attended his first big L.A. premiere!

We’re all in need of a few more feel-good movies at the moment, and Amazon Prime’s “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” might be just the thing. The movie follows a wannabe drag queen as he attempts to follow his dreams and be true to himself in one of the most difficult places to do that — high school.

Outfest has unveiled the dates, venues, and lineup for its 39th film festival, which is returning to in-person screenings more than a year and a half after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
