The Young and The Restless spoilers and updates tease Camryn Grimes, who plays Mariah Copeland, goes from playing a creepy storyline there to a creepier one in a new horror film. She has landed a part in an upcoming film titled The Deceived, which is currently slated for release later this year.

The Young And The Restless – Interesting Parallels

The description of the new film shares interesting parallels with the storyline on Y & R that Mariah is closely involved in, her mother Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) spiraling.

In that storyline, Sharon has gone off her bipolar meds and is being deceived by a hallucination of Cameron Kirsten (Linden Ashby).

“The Deceived” is an intriguing new film crafted by the imaginative Aash Aaron, who takes on both directing and writing duties, with production led by Tim Wall.

The story centers around Amy Wisez, (Kelly Sullivan) a young woman grappling with the...

Brooke Bowman has been promoted to executive vice president of drama development and programming at Fox Entertainment.

She succeeds Charlie Andrews in the role, with Andrews exiting the company. The parting with Andrews is said to be on good terms, with his contract simply coming to an end.

Bowman was previously senior vice president in the Fox drama department. She will now report directly to Michael Thorn, president of entertainment at Fox Entertainment. She will be based in Los Angeles.

“Brooke has been an important and trusted part of our team, playing an invaluable role in helping shape and implement our blueprint to expand and diversify Fox’s slate,” said Thorn. “Supremely creative, well-respected across town and fearless in taking big swings, she is primed to take over the reins; and I’m excited to have her alongside as we steer our drama strategy well into the future.”

Exclusive: Charlie Andrews has stepped down as EVP, Drama Programming and Development at Fox Entertainment after fours years as head of the broadcast network’s drama department. He is succeeded by Brooke Bowman, most recently SVP, Drama Programming and Development, who has been promoted to EVP, Drama Programming and Development.

Based in Los Angeles and reporting to Fox Entertainment President Michael Thorn, Bowman will supervise the development and production of new and returning scripted drama series for the network.

Andrews, a well liked development executive, took over the Fox drama department in November 2017. His departure was amicable; I hear his contract was up and he left to pursue bigger responsibilities elsewhere as the top executive deck at Fox is pretty stacked.

As SVP Drama Programming and Development for the past six years, Bowman oversaw such series as The Resident, Prodigal Son, Lethal Weapon, BH90210, Rosewood, Scream Queens, Sleepy Hollow and,...

Exclusive: Dave and Pitch alum Meagan Holder has joined the lead cast of Fox’s upcoming musical drama Monarch. She will appear opposite Susan Sarandon, Albie Roman, Anna Friel, Trace Adkins and Beth Ditto.

Created by Melissa London Hilfers, Monarch is described as a Texas-sized, multigenerational musical drama about America’s first family of country music, the Romans. The Romans are headed by the insanely talented, but tough as nails Queen of Country Music Dottie Cantrell Roman (Sarandon). Along with her beloved husband, Albie (Adkins), Dottie has created a country music dynasty. But even though the Roman name is synonymous with authenticity, the very foundation of their success is a lie. And when their reign as country royalty is put in jeopardy, heir to the crown Nicolette “Nicky” Roman (Friel) will stop at nothing to protect her family’s legacy, while ensuring her own quest for stardom.

Holder joins the cast as Kayla Taylor-Roman.

Since 2011, the Edinburgh Film Festival’s Talent Lab has nurtured a number of rising filmmakers through an assortment of masterclasses, workshops and individual mentoring sessions: Talents like Ben Sharrock (“Limbo”), Eva Riley (a recent winner BIFA winner for “Perfect 10”) and Rob Savage (“Host”) are alumni of the program. In 2019, however, the program yielded the Talent Lab Connects offshoot, in which a smaller selection of writers, directors and producers are given the chance to develop specific feature film or series projects with a range of industry mentors.

Now in its third year — and its second of the program taking place online — the program will be headed again by renowned U.K. script editor Kate Leys, whose recent credits include Simon Amstell’s “Benjamin,” Bart Layton’s “American Animals” and John Maclean’s “Slow West.”

Six projects have been selected for Talent Lab Connects:

“We’re not just any ordinary girls from the estate. We’re more than that. Our postcodes do not determine our limits,” said cast member Tawheda Begum when accepting the best British independent film prize.

“Rocks,” “His House” and “The Father” were the leaders at the British Independent Film Awards (BIFAs), which were announced Thursday.

Coming-of-age drama “Rocks” won best British independent film, with Kosar Ali winning the awards for both best supporting actress and most promising newcomer with her young co-star D’Angelou Osei Kissiedu winning best supporting actor. Lucy Pardee’s best casting award, which was among the craft award winners announced in January, takes the “Rocks” tally to five.

Festival will also launch a new Ambassador programme, spotlighting rising talent under 30.

Glasgow Film Festival (Gff) is to host interviews with 1917 writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns and Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald as part of its industry platform, which will take place online and feature a rising talent initiative for the first time.

Scottish writer Wilson-Cairns and The Mauritanian director Macdonald will take part in the spotlight interviews during Gff’s Industry Focus, set to run March 1-6.

The festival has also partnered with global streaming platform Mubi on a new Ambassador initiative, aimed at highlighting under 30s talent in the Gff programme.

The closest thing to sports running on the Freeform cable network since it came under Disney ownership in 2001 might be “Make It Or Break It,” a soapy series about the lives of young gymnasts hoping to get to the Olympics. On Sunday, Freeform will really be taking the field.

Viewers who tune to Freeform looking for “Hunger Games,” “Alice in Wonderland” or one of the movies Freeform typically shows each weekend will at 1 p.m. tomorrow find themselves part of a massive sports play. Freeform will show –of all things — an NFL Wild Card match between the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans. Nickelodeon and Telemundo, two other TV outlets known for things other than sports, will also try football on for size this weekend.

“It’s an experiment. We’ve never done it before,” says Sarah Lindman, senior vice president of content planning and strategy at Freeform, in an interview.

This year, in films such as Perfect 10, Lynn + Lucy and County Lines, working-class lives are once again making it on to the big screen. But in an industry dominated by the privately educated, can they avoid being tainted with middle-class misapprehensions?

There are working-class heroes and there are unsung heroes. Take Lucy Pardee, the casting director of Rocks and Perfect 10, two of the year’s outstanding British films, both about working-class teenage girls. What Pardee does is traditionally called street casting – finding non-professional actors from backgrounds that don’t usually open doors to a career in the arts. (Her credits include films by Andrea Arnold and Jonathan Glazer).

To assemble the girl squad in Rocks, a gorgeously warm drama about teenage friendship in east London, Pardee went into 14 schools and auditioned 1,300 children. “I literally stood up in front of assemblies and said: ‘You might not see yourself on screen,...

The 2020 British Independent Film Awards nominations were revealed Wednesday morning by British actors Holliday Grainger (“The Borgias”) and Micheal Ward (“Lovers Rock”).

Series includes British independent titles released theatrically in the last three years.

BBC Film and the BFI have united on a new series of UK films from the past three years which will screen on BBC Two on a weekly basis.

‘British Film Premiere: New Films From New Voices’ marks a change in broadcast strategy for films previously on theatrical release: of the seven films in the series, six had a theatrical premiere within the last two years.

To celebrate the release of Perfect 10, which opens on select streaming services this week, we sat down with the film’s writer/director and star about the moving new drama.

Set in Brighton, Perfect 10 tells the story of Leigh, a 14-year-old aspiring gymnast who is struggling to both find her place at the local gymnasiums and living with her neglectful father. Soon, her half-brother Joe (Alfie Deegan) shows up at her house one day to stay despite not knowing he even existed but who soon opens her eyes to the thrill and dangers of moped crime – and growing up.

Riley, making her feature debut, spoke to us about the film’s themes of finding your place at a young age and how influences can alter the course of your life in different ways as well as the challenges of making the film on location in just under a month.

Road-rage thriller “Unhinged,” starring Russell Crowe, topped the U.K. and Ireland box office over the weekend collecting £175,263, according to final numbers released by Comscore.

The film, released by Altitude Film Distribution, played at 243 locations, marking a cautious return by audiences to cinemas, despite the territory being in the middle of a heat wave.

“Over the past few months we have shared the well-publicized concern about the state and future of cinema and the arts. Whilst this remains unclear as we all learn to cope with Covid-19, we’re encouraged by the support ‘Unhinged’ received from cinemas and audiences in its opening weekend,” said Altitude, which last month released killer croc thriller “Black Water: Abyss” and Jacki Weaver and Lucy Liu comedy “Stage Mother.” In the coming weeks, the distributor is set to release Ladj Ly’s “Les Miserables.”

It seems like Sophie and Kevin always find a way back to each other on This Is Us. In the latest episode, we learned a lot about the former couple's past, and honestly, it made us want them to get back together even more. While Logan Shroyer has made several appearances as young Kevin over the past four seasons, you're probably wondering about who plays young Sophie.

Actress Amanda Leighton made her first appearance as Kevin's young love all the way back in season one, but it appears like she'll have a pretty big arc in the upcoming episode, "Storybook Love." In addition to her recurring role on This Is Us, Leighton has appeared on Make It or Break It, Pretty Little Liars, Rosewood, and most recently, The Fosters.
