Clelia Mountford is exiting Bad Sisters maker Merman to launch an All3 Media-backed scripted indie.

Sunburnt Penguin will sit within All3’s scripted ranks, focusing on drama and comedy projects. It debuts with a development slate in place.

Mountford co-founded Merman with Sharon Horgan in 2014 and together they built a TV and film production business in the UK and U.S. with credits for the likes of Apple TV+’s comedy Bad Sisters, which is set to debut a second season on November 13; BBC comedies Motherland and There She Goes, Channel 4 and Prime Video’s Catastrophe; Channel 4/Hulu co-pro This Way Up; and Sky drama Dreamland. Mountford also executive produced the upcoming Channel 4 series Disability Benefits with Rosie Jones and Amandaland for BBC One, starring Lucy Punch.

Mountford said: “After a wonderful decade at Merman, I am delighted to be joining the brilliant All3Media family for my next chapter.

Throughout her already prolific career, producer/actor Margot Robbie has proven herself to have a taste that's as discerning as it is eclectic. Most actors attempt to demonstrate their ability to take on as large of a range of projects as possible, yet the demands of the business and marketing sides of the film industry usually see them typecast in some form, usually in a genre if not a specific type of role. This is why Robbie's career is worth pointing out for how diverse it is; she's been able to find a niche for herself that has allowed her to easily move between action films, dramas, period pieces like "Mary Queen Of Scots," comedies, genre flicks, and prestige pics, all while growing her A-list status and not being relegated to either an awards-bait character actor or a paycheck-bait comic book movie star. As a producer, she's demonstrated a steady...

"Barbie" star Margot Robbie, is the new ‘face’ of France’s Chanel No. 5 perfume, photographed by Karim Sadli:

After working in commercials and small indie films, Robbie got her first break on the TV series "Neighbours" (2008–2011), followed by "Pan Am" (2011–2012).Her breakthrough role came in 2013 with Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street".

She achieved wider recognition with starring roles as 'Jane Porter' in "The Legend of Tarzan" (2016) and as 'Harley Quinn' in the DC superhero films "Suicide Squad" (2016), "Birds of Prey" (2020) and "The Suicide Squad" (2021).

She also received an Academy Award 'Best Actress' nomination for her portrayal of figure skater 'Tonya Harding' in the biopic "I, Tonya" (2017). This was followed by roles in the period drama "Mary Queen of Scots" (2018), Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood".

Robbie and husband Tom Ackerley are co-founders of LuckyChap Entertainment, producing "Promising Young Woman...

It was Martin Scorsese’s iconic The Wolf of Wall Street that gave Margot Robbie the recognition she deserved, and since then, the Australian actress has only been attracting major roles. Little did she know that starting a life in Hollywood would lead her to settle down and start a family as well.

In 2013, while the Birds of Prey actress basked in success following her big break, it was also the same year she met her eventual husband, Tom Ackerley, on the set of Suite Française, a World War II drama. Their lives would change forever a year later.

It wasn’t until a year after they met that they began dating, and in 2016, the Robbie-Ackerley union was official. After an extremely private wedding on the Gold Coast of Australia, Robbie and Ackerley kept their marriage a secret until she dropped the ball via a social media post,...

‘Bad Sisters’ has received rave reviews, and Apple TV+ subscribers won’t have to go far to find it.

On Wednesday, Oct. 9, “Slow Horses” will wrap up its fourth season on Apple TV+. The show has already been renewed for a fifth, but even so, it will be a while before fans see new episodes after Wednesday’s Season 4 finale. The dry British humor and taught, tense writing of “Slow Horses” make it a must-see for Apple TV+ subscribers, but once you’re finished you may be feeling a little left out in the cold.

There’s no shortage of titles to turn to next on Apple TV+, but if you are looking for a show that will scratch your incessant Slough House-inspired itch, I do have one recommendation that might fit the bill; and it just so happens to be on the same streamer, so you don’t have...

The fall market and festival season is traditionally a thrilling time for the French animation sector as companies prepare to unveil new projects, partnerships, and distribution deals at events such as the Unifrance Rendez-Vous, Cartoon Forum, Mipcom and MipJunior.

This year, however, French animation finds itself in a precarious spot, having been hard hit by a recent contraction among international distribution platforms that had, for several years now – especially during and post-pandemic, been investing heavily in the region.

Despite holding its spot as France’s No. 2 screen industry export medium, with a 25.2% market share, animation had a rough 2023. Foreign sales fell 11.2% to €51.2 million ($56.3 million), according to a Cnc report unveiled at the Unifrance Rendez-Vous on Tuesday. The overwhelming bulk of that drop can be attributed to American investors, who cut back by 69.7% to €4.3 million ($4.7 million). The rest of the world saw a less steep drop of just 6.6% to €12.9 million ($14.2 million), still significant.

“Elizabethtown. ““Dean.” “August: Osage County.” All somewhat recent cinematic efforts of the past several decades revolving around a person or two dealing with the passing of a family member, more often than not, accompanied by a return to their childhood home or small town that will itself become far more inevitably meaningful by film’s end. Directed by renaissance man Robert Schwartzman, having helmed such efforts as “Dreamland,” “The Unicorn,” and “The Argument” in addition to fronting indie group Rooney and appearing onscreen as the dreamboat love interest in “The Princess Diaries,” there’s a smattering of ambition present throughout his latest project “The Good Half, “one that can easily find itself in line with the contemporaries above but can’t help but repeatedly trip over its storytelling shoelaces in the process.

Joni Mitchell will open the vault this fall, unearthing gems and rarities from the late Seventies.

Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 4: The Asylum Years (1976-1980) arrives Oct. 4 via Rhino Records. It documents the creative process behind her studio albums Hejira (1976), Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter (1977), and Mingus (her collaboration with jazz legend Charles Mingus in 1979). It also includes her time on Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue tour...

Post-2005 Doctor Who main TV-show companions. That’s the first qualifier to add to the following list. For now at least, we’re celebrating only the Nu-Who main companions who had their own proper stint travelling in the Tardis, or any of the many wonderful actors who preceded them in the classic era.

Now that the rationale has been set out, join us to round up some of the best after-Who roles from the likes of Billie Piper, Freema Agyeman, Catherine Tate, Karen Gillan, Arthur Darvill, Jenna Coleman, Pearl Mackie, Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole. It’s too early to add Millie Gibson to this gang but look out for her in rebooted period drama The Forsyte Saga when it arrives.

Thanks to her teen pop career and personal life, Billie Piper was already a famous name in the UK before she played Rose Tyler,...

Flush with new cash thanks to The Walt Disney Company, Doctor Who is getting another spinoff.

The BBC and Disney+ have ordered The War Between The Land And The Sea, a five-part spinoff series starring Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw alongside existing Doctor Who stars Jemma Redgrave and Alexander Devrient.

The War Between The Land And The Sea focuses on military organization Unit. Per the logline, when a fearsome and ancient species emerges from the ocean, dramatically revealing themselves to humanity, an international crisis is triggered. With the entire population at risk, Unit steps into action as the land and sea wage war.

Doctor Who showrunner and executive producer Russell T Davies wrote the spinoff with Pete McTighe (A Discovery of Witches) and it features the return of the Sea Devils, classic Doctor Who villains first seen in 1972. It comes after the spinoff was alluded to in the 73 Yards episode,...

Those with a certain… let’s say… love for the human foot have a new reason to smile, as Lily Allen has begun selling videos and photographs of her feet on OnlyFans.

For $10 a month, interested parties can gain access to Allen’s newly created page. As of the time of writing, there are seven posts available, presumably with more to come.

Allen announced the page via an Instagram Story post on Tuesday (July 2nd) showing off a preview of the content. “La dolce feeta,” she wrote, linking to the OnlyFans account.

As pointed out by Billboard, the move comes just two weeks after Allen discussed her unusually beloved feet on her Miss Me? podcast. “I have a lady that comes and does my nails,” she told her co-host. “They informed me that I have five stars on WikiFeet, which is quite rare. My feet are rated quite highly on the internet.

“Oh, shit!” Dave Bayley exclaims. His blue eyes are wide as he holds his head with both hands. The Glass Animals frontman has just heard some great news from his publicist, who confirms that the U.K. band’s hit song, “Heat Waves,” is officially RIAA diamond certified, representing 10 million sales and streaming units. Bayley blinks rapidly and sputters in disbelief, trying to think of what to say next in his Zoom with Rolling Stone. “I don’t quite know what to make of it!” he adds.

Even as Glass...

It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from musician turned filmmaker Robert Schwartzman, the younger brother of Jason Schwartzman and part of the larger Coppola-related film dynasty. Schwartzman began his career as lead vocalist of the rock/pop band Rooney. But circa 2014, he shifted towards writing and directing and directed “Dreamland” (2016), “The Unicorn” (2018), and “The Argument” (2020).

“You blew me to stardust,” Glass Animals lead singer Dave Bayley sings on the U.K. band’s latest single “Tear in Space (Airlock).” The tantalizing track swirls with synths over a pulsating beat as Bayley’s falsetto compares an all-consuming love to being trapped in the pressurized, in-between area of a space shuttle. Trippy shit, right?

“Tear in Space (Airlock)” is the newest single from the band’s fourth studio album, I Love You So F***ing Much, out July 19. To accompany the track, Glass Animals also shared a...

Lily Allen is the latest star ready to lighten up Night and Day, an adaptation of the comedic Virginia Woolf novel.

The singer and actress joins a cast that includes Haley Bennett, Elyas M’Barek and Timothy Spall, who will bring to life the 1919 novel revolving around the daily lives and romances of two women. Katharine Hilbery (Bennett), is an Edwardian astronomer who avoids love, while Mary (Allen) is a straight-talking, fearless, funny suffragette. Jack Farthing rounds out the cast for the feature.

Justine Waddell penned the script and will produce, with BAFTA nominee Tina Gharavi directing the feature, which is aiming to shoot this fall in Newcastle, England and Cologne, Germany.

Financing company FilmHedge has come on board to back the project, withs its founder and CEO Jon Gosier and its COO Chandler Heinz Laun serving as executive producers, along with Konstantin Korenchuk.

The Max Original series Thirst with Shay Mitchell is set to debut on Thursday, May 23, on Max. New episodes of the four-episode series will debut weekly.

Max has released the official trailer and key art for the series, which features the former Pretty Little Liars, Dollface, Dreamland, Mother’s Day, and The Possession of Hannah Grace star.

In the show, Mitchell explores the world one drink at a time as she visits exotic locations, samples unique ingredients, and meets expert hosts. On her journey, she encounters the latest drink trends, the best bars, and 8,000 years of sipping history.

Thirst with Shay Mitchell is produced for Max by The Nacelle Company and Amore+Vita.

Brian Volk-Weiss, Missy Bania, Cisco Henson, Shay Mitchell, and Matte Babel executive produce the series, which is co-executive produced by Kayleigh Rocheck and Ken Franklin.

The post Thirst with Shay Mitchell to Debut on May 23 appeared first on Vital Thrills.

Following Joni Mitchell’s return to Spotify, the singer-songwriter will release The Asylum Albums (1976-1980), out June 21 via Rhino.

The box set contains a remastering of Mitchell’s albums from the late Seventies: 1976’s Hejira (1976), 1977’s Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter, 1979’s Mingus, and the 1980 live album Shadows and Light. You won’t find any unreleased recordings or outtakes here; Mitchell will include those on the official Archives Vol. 4, expected later this year.

Each record on The Asylum Albums (1976-1980) was remastered from flat analong master tapes by Bernie Grundman.

Look around and you just may find yourself amid a Pet Shop Boys renaissance.

Of course, the English duo — consisting of Neil Tennant, 69, and Chris Lowe, 64 — never went anywhere. They have been steadily putting out music since their landmark 1984 debut, Please, which instantly established them with timeless songs like “West End Girls” and “Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money).”

But Pet Shop Boys’ deep catalog has been plundered in recent years everywhere from Madison Avenue (“Opportunities” showed up in a Super Bowl ad for Allstate) to Hollywood (several classics were used to wonderful effect in two of last year’s zeitgeistiest movies, Saltburn and All of Us Strangers). Their signature sound is suddenly everywhere — wistful and longing, danceable and intellectually sophisticated synth-pop. Their 15th studio effort, Nonetheless, drops tomorrow and features more of that infectious trademark music.

Tennant and Lowe sat with The Hollywood Reporter recently to relive their...

Later this year, Glass Animals will bring their forthcoming studio album I Love You So F***ing Much on an international tour fittingly titled Glass Animals: Tour of Earth.

The record, which features the newly released single “Creatures in Heaven,” will arrive on July 19, while the tour is scheduled to kick off just under a month later. The band will be joined on the road by Kevin Abstract, Eyedress, Blondshell, and The Big Moon on select dates.

English quartet Glass Animals are back to announce their fourth album, I Love You So F***ing Much, and shared the LP’s lead single, “Creatures in Heaven.” Update: Glass Animals have announced a 2024 world tour.

Due out July 19th, I Love You So F***ing Much is Glass Animals’ follow up to 2020’s Dreamland, which gave the band their first #1 hit in the US with “Heat Waves.” The new album, then, was born from the chaos of supporting a record during the pandemic and finding newfound success within the band. Frontman Dave Bayley claims that I Love You So F***ing Much came from an existential crisis: “Life can change dramatically, but sometimes you aren’t able to change as quickly on a personal level,” Bayley writes in a statement. “You end up feeling like a spectator. And then you are asked and expected to be a certain type of person,...

The BBC have unveiled a new slate of star-studded dramas including the TV adaptation of James Graham’s football play “Dear England” starring Joseph Fiennes, a new co-pro with “Euphoria” producer A24 and the screenwriting debut from “Sex Education” star Aimee Lou Wood.

Director of BBC Drama Lindsay Salt revealed the 12-strong slate – which adds up to 66 hours of top TV – at a press event in London, U.K. on Wednesday evening. It includes two more series of Belfast-based police drama “Blue Lights.”

“Inflation, content and platform saturation, streamer retrenchment, the writers’ strike… It’s all fed a serious slowdown,” Salt said as she unveiled the diverse slate. “Five years ago, everyone was willing to make brave choices, to experiment, to try something a little unorthodox. I worry that risk-taking is becoming a dirty word… And that, in less than a decade, the industry might be moving from ‘peak TV...

Exclusive: Tony winner Adrienne Warren is set to star in and executive produce Dreamland, a period drama series in development at Peacock from Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.

Written and executive produced by Eric Haywood (Law & Order: Organized Crime), Dreamland explores the world of Black Wall Street, the legendary African-American business district in Tulsa, Oklahoma’s segregated Greenwood community. Set in 1915, the series avoids depicting the well-known deadly massacre that took place several years later. Instead, it explores the daily lives, interpersonal relationships, and class struggles of Greenwood’s residents — all taking place in the shadow of an oil boom that ignited long-standing tensions between the city’s white, African-American, and displaced Native American populations.

Warren and Haywood executive produce with Kapital’s Aaron Kaplan and Brian Morewitz. Hannibal Johnson, a member of the Tulsa Community Foundation and author of the...

In a world that has gifted Greta Gerwig the possibility to focus all her creative skills and talents on Barbie, the film becomes the pink dream we all hoped it would be. After months and months of their marketing campaign, which often felt like seeing a sea of pink slowly wash towards us, the creators behind Barbie were right to put everything they had into getting people into the theatres to see this on the big screen. Not only does Barbie reach something on a creative and entertaining level, but it touches deeper and lingers on the mind longer than any movie about a doll has the right to.

This article contains spoilers for the Disenchantment series finale.

A new animated series from Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons and Futurama, should have been a clear winner and modern cartoon classic. Oddly enough, Bean’s misadventures through Dreamland and its constant fantasy genre subversions in Disenchantment have barely left a mark on the medium. It initially seemed like Disenchantment had somehow learned the worst lessons from The Simpsons and Futurama through a focus on dense lore and heavy serialized stories. Disenchantment, while fun, would struggle with its growing scope and undergo a perpetual identity crisis on the type of series it wanted to be and what it does best.

It’s been a bumpy journey, but Disenchantment impressively pulls everything together for its final season. This last batch of episodes finally figures out how to use this big world and its many supporting characters after seasons of awkward attempts to connect these dots.

Netflix is nothing if not a goldmine of content, with basically something to watch for everyone, and today we are making a list of the best new shows coming to Netflix in September 2023 that you can watch in the upcoming month. The shows in this list are ranked according to their availability dates.

To save Dreamland from Queen Dagmar’s wicked rule, Bean must vanquish her mother and outrun a prophecy that foretells she will kill someone she loves. The stakes are as high as ever as our heroes face Satan, a headless corpse, an evil stientist and most terrifying of all- their true destiny.

Princess Bean has one simple request heading into the final season of Disenchantment: “I just wanna kill my mom and get on with my life. Is that too much to ask?”

And as you’ll see in the just-released trailer above, neither of them is backing down.

The animated fantasy show for adults marked Groening's return to TV and his latest animated series following "The Simpsons" and the recently resurrected "Futurama," and combined the creator's signature sense of humor with a fantasy story full of demons, magical creatures, and medieval knights and princesses.

The show follows Bean), a hard-hitting and hard-drinking queen of the medieval European kingdom of Dreamland, and her companions the determined elf Elfo (Nat Faxon), and Bean's personal demon, the chain-smoking Luci (Eric Andre). Throughout the show's first four seasons the trio has gone on several epic adventures full of betrayal, family drama, and plenty of nods at "Game of Thrones," a show "Disenchantment" referenced and parodied since the very beginning ---...

The denizens of Dreamland will slip into an eternal slumber now that Matt Groening’s animated fantasy comedy series Disenchantment is ending. Netflix is sunsetting Disenchantment at the close of its fifth and final season. In addition to announcing the show’s farewell, Netflix announced a Disenchantment Season 5 premiere date of September 1 alongside a trailer for the last batch of episodes.

Here’s the official description for Disenchantment Season 5:

It all endeth here. The misadventures of hard-hitting, hard-drinking Queen Bean, her feisty elf companion Elfo and her personal demon Luci culminate in an epic battle for Dreamland. To save Dreamland from Queen Dagmar’s wicked rule, Bean must vanquish her mother and outrun a prophecy that foretells she will kill someone she loves. The stakes are as high as ever as our heroes face Satan, a headless corpse, an evil scientist, and, most terrifying of all – their true destiny.

Matt Groening’s Disenchantment is coming to an end. The upcoming fifth season of the Netflix adult animated fantasy comedy series will be its last. It will premiere September 1. Watch a trailer below.

With Big Mouth also headed into its final season, the anthology Love, Death & Robots, renewed for Season 4, is the last remaining series from the first wave of adult animated comedies ordered by Netflix. There haven’t been major breakouts in the genre since on the streamer, with a slew of newcomers awaiting their fate.

Season 5 of Disenchantment was ordered as a final one and was written as a conclusion to the series, sources said.

As the narrator in the teaser says, “Every journey, every decision, every victory, every loss, it’s all led to this.”

Here are more details about Disenchantment Season 5 in the final chapter’s official description:

"Barbie" star Margot Robbie, poses for the August 2023 issue of "Vogue" (Australia) magazine, photographed by Mario Sorrenti:

After working in commercials and small indie films, Robbie got her first break on the TV series "Neighbours" (2008–2011), followed by "Pan Am" (2011–2012). Her breakthrough role came in 2013 with Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street".

She achieved wider recognition with starring roles as 'Jane Porter' in "The Legend of Tarzan" (2016) and as 'Harley Quinn' in the DC superhero films "Suicide Squad" (2016), "Birds of Prey" (2020) and "The Suicide Squad" (2021).

She also received an Academy Award 'Best Actress' nomination for her portrayal of figure skater 'Tonya Harding' in the biopic "I, Tonya" (2017).

This was followed by roles in the period drama "Mary Queen of Scots" (2018), Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood".

Robbie and husband Tom Ackerley are co-founders of LuckyChap Entertainment, producing "Promising Young Woman'...

Stars: Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Issa Rae, Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey, Hari Nef, Sharon Rooney, Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, John Cena, Michael Cera, America Ferrera, Rhea Perlman, Will Ferrell | Written by Greta Gerwig, Noah Baumbach | Directed by Greta Gerwig

In a world that has gifted Greta Gerwig the possibility to focus all her creative skills and talents on Barbie, the film becomes the pink dream we all hoped it would be. After months and months of their marketing campaign, which often felt like seeing a sea of pink slowly wash towards us , the creators behind Barbie were right to put everything they had into getting people into the theatres to see this on the big screen. Not only does Barbie reach something on a creative and entertaining level, but it touches deeper and lingers on the mind longer than any movie about a doll has the right to.

Before Margot Robbie was Barbie, she was Harley Quinn, Naomi Lapaglia, Tonya Harding, and many more characters. There's no doubt Robbie loves her job as an actor, and while tackling the role of an iconic children's toy wasn't initially on her career bucket list, it's clear she's happy she took a chance with the role.

A month before the highly anticipated July 2023 release of "Barbie," Robbie spoke to Vogue about how playing the role never even crossed her mind. "It wasn't that I ever wanted to play Barbie, or dreamt of being Barbie, or anything like that," she explained. "This is going to sound stupid, but I really didn't even think about playing Barbie until years into developing the project."

And while "Barbie" might arguably be Robbie's most hyped-up movie in her career so far, it's by no means the only role she's slayed. Take a look back at Robbie's best movies below.

In an infinite sea of remakes and remasters, the latest re-release for the Nintendo Switch, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe, doesn’t even qualify. It’s essentially a port, albeit with some added content, akin to the console’s best-selling Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe and Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Like those titles, Return to Dream Land acts as a second chance for a somewhat overlooked game to hit the gaming zeitgeist thanks to the colossal success of Nintendo’s hybrid handheld. Unlike those games, Kirby didn’t really need it.

Sky is seeking inspiration from Happy Valley for its next hit show as programs boss Zai Bennett says the pay-tv giant is taking a ‘less is more’ approach to original content.

Speaking at a Broadcasting Press Guild event this morning, Sky Studios Director of Original Drama Meghan Lyvers said conversations are taking place with producers about shows that have “an investigative spine with complicated, dysfunctional, flawed, human and relatable characters at the center,” evoking Happy Valley star Sarah Lancashire’s Catherine Cawood.

She responded “perhaps yes” when questioned if the next big Sky drama could be led by a Cawood-esque figure and talked up the way in which the BBC One/AMC+ sensation places an older woman front and centre of the story. A similar show, the Kate Winslet-starring Mare of Easttown, was launched by Sky and HBO in 2021 to critical acclaim.

Beyoncé just made history when she took home the Grammy for best dance/electronic music album for "Renaissance," netting her 32nd Grammy - the most of any artist ever. From the start, Beyoncé's "Renaissance" era has been a celebration of house music, beginning with its lead single, "Break My Soul," which was released in June 2022.

"Break My Soul" features a sample of Robin S.'s house hit "Show Me Love." Before she was sampled on the song, Robin S. was a major hitmaker in the house-music world. Her 1993 track "Show Me Love" was a hit in the early '90s, and her singles "Luv 4 Luv" and "What I Do Best" also topped the charts and helped establish the house genre around the world.

Beyoncé's feature gave "Show Me Love" a second life, and it also catalyzed a fresh wave of love for house,...
