When Luca Guadagnino came on board as the director of “Call Me by Your Name,” he immediately moved the film from the Italian Riviera – where it was set in André Aciman’s novel – to the town of Crema in Lombardy where he lived. “I don’t understand how you create a story if you don’t start from the principal of figuring it out through the landscape – it’s how a movie has to be made,” said Guadagnino in an interview with IndieWire. “We are all who we are because of the way we behave in a given space.”

Thai cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom had never worked with Guadagnino before, but when he visited the region three years prior to production on “Call My by Your Name,” he could instantly see how the landscape and summer light shaped how the director saw the film.

“I’m from South East Asia and...

Hilary and Haylie Duff are not only siblings but also best friends — and now, it seems, their next generation is following suit.

The sisters talked the relationship between their two kids — Hilary’s son Luca Cruz, 5½, whom she shares with ex-husband Mike Comrie, and Haylie’s 2½-year-old daughter Ryan Ava Erhard, whom she shares with fiancé Matt Rosenberg — at the Words With Friends launch party in West Hollywood, California, on Thursday.

“They really play well together,” Haylie, 32, told People. “One time I had Luca for a sleepover and the two of them were outside running around on a Slip ‘n Slide,...

“Call Me By Your Name” has taken the film world by storm ever since its rapturous Sundance premiere at the start of the year, and audiences will finally be able to check out the romantic drama in theaters next month. There’s a lot to see in Luca Guadagnino’s sensual film, from the gorgeous Italian countryside to that headline-making sex scene involving a peach, but one thing you absolutely won’t see in “Call Me By Your Name” is a penis.

After dealing with the pain of two failed marriages, Audrey Hepburn found lasting love at the perfect time.

At age 49, after her divorces from actor Mel Ferrer and pyschiatrist Andrea Dotti, Hepburn fell for Dutch-born businessman Robert Wolders, who in People’s new cover story about the iconic star’s private world, shares the story of their love and why it lasted, though they never wed.

“We were ready for each other,” Wolders says of their near-instant chemistry. “At the time in our lives that we met, we had both made our mistakes. If chance would have had it that...

In theaters this weekend is Gore Verbinski’s A Cure For Wellness. In the film, while trapped at a remote wellness center in Switzerland, Dane DeHaan’s character Lockhart crosses paths with a mysterious young woman named Hannah (played by Mia Goth), who undergoes her own awakening the deeper Lockhart delves into the mystery of just what is “the cure.”

At a recent press day for A Cure For Wellness, Daily Dead and several other journalists spoke with Goth discussed the journey that Hannah takes throughout the film, her experiences collaborating with Verbinski on her character, and she also shared some information on the upcoming Suspiria project from director Luca Guadagnino.

Can you take us through Hannah’s journey throughout the film?

Mia Goth: Yeah, that was something I really connected to. I found that I was able to find a lot of parallels between her life and my life.

Who is Isabella Stone?

If you stuck around for the promo for The Blacklist Season 4 Episode 13, then you already have a tidbit of an answer and a face behind the name.

But that aside, just who is this character that is attacking Red’s organization? Why is she coming after him? What is the deeper meaning behind it?

It’s the type of name drop that can keep Red sitting down and us viewers eager to find out just what type of character Red is going up against.

Clearly, The Blacklist Season 4 is trying to go somewhere different with respect to Red’s story.

I’m interested to see what his being targeted will mean going forward.

The name drop of Baldur Maggnuson on The Blacklist Season 4 Episode 11 certainly piqued my interests in Red facing off with a new nemesis.

The Blacklist Season 4 Episode 12 revealed he was pretty much a red herring,...

Wow!

We're counting down the crazy until The Young and the Restless' 11,000th episode, and nobody is being left behind!

Not only are we being treated to sweet memories from the cast at the beginning of each episode, but the action is pretty much non-stop. We're getting even more new sets, seeing more familiar faces, and we're being promised more big stories to come. Let's dig in!

Did they break the mold when hiring Justin Hartley to play Adam Newman? I'm starting to wonder. The current Adam storyline has a feel of finality about it. Not as in death, but as in he's going away, and we'll not be seeing him for a while. At least not until Hartley is available again to play him.

I could be wrong, and I hope so, because I've really liked this incarnation of Adam. In the right hands, he can be just...

If this was a game of clue, it would go something like this:

Bethany did it in the cheap motel room with the journal pages. But on The Young and the Restless Recap, even if you guessed that's where the evidence would ultimately lead Dylan and Paul, you'd still lose the game.

For the time being, Dylan is the hero of Genoa City. He's the only person in town who cared one ounce about the truth. I'm not talking about the rule of law or Victor's rules or continuing to pursue a case because you want to know if your ex was the culprit.

Dylan was being an honest and true detective the entire way through Adam's case. He didn't want an innocent man to go to prison because a good detective never wants a guilty party to be running the streets.

It's a shame Paul has lost that nagging feeling in his blood,...

There are a lot of strategic moves happening on The Young and the Restless.

Characters are being moved around like pieces on a chessboard. Will new couples be formed or old flames re-ignited? 

Time will tell. Let's take a look at what went down this week on our favorite sudser.

The week started off rough for Philly fans with Phyllis angrily pushing Billy away in the elevator. She's trying with everything she has to convince the both of them she doesn't love Billy. It's utterly unconvincing. Nonetheless, she wonders if he gets what she's trying to say.

By way of response, Billy walks up as closely as possible to say, "Perfectly," while his breath blows a breeze into her hair. Suddenly they are face to face. Cut scene. That's all we get.

Jack and Jill discuss her favorite topic. Billy. Jack is a bit down on her treatment of his...

Well, bugger. It looks like Victor is winning again. 

As The Young and the Restless started this week, Adam was ready to plead guilty. Chelsea even went to Dylan, who desperately wanted to help. Finally.

But it was too little, too late. Chloe had done her damage, Victor was doing whatever he could to get out of that hellhole and that was that.

Chelsea was all over the map. She tried to get help from Dylan, but that was useless.

Nikki was in the room with Victor and refused to leave, so all Dylan got was lies in response to his round of questioning. 

This was directly after Nikki has spent an inordinate amount of time lovingly caressing Victor's face like he was a baby bird who would simply crush under the weight of a normal touch. 

Seriously, I was going to have to climb into the television and start...

Things are still moving forward at a pretty fast pace on The Young and the Restless.

It really feels like they're in the midst of out with the old in with the new, and I like it.

So Ian escapes from the courtroom after Victor committed so much perjury even he couldn't possibly keep track of it all, and Meredith ultimately helped Victor escape police custody in the hospital to save the day.

The police are clowns in Genoa City, aren't they?

At first, Dylan and Paul were all over the place trying to figure out who helped Ian escape. Why Adam and Chelsea admitted to their plan is a mystery, but Adam was already on house arrest (can anybody explain that?), so it didn't really matter.

If Adam left the apartment, it would only be three for three escapes in the week. 

Meredith listened in on the family chats with the Newmans,...

Black Panther coming for your ticket moneyWhile Captain America v. Iron Man didn't prove to be that much hotter a ringside ticket than Batman v. Superman did in its opening weekend (there's just a 15 million difference or so), the gap will surely widen. The movie's general quality will help it outlive and outperform that earlier embarrassment. One thing the two films do have in common is that the audience excitement appears to be primarily wrapped up in the new characters (Wonder Woman then & Spider-Man/Black Panther now) as opposed to the familiar faces. In related news, Bunny v Fox aka Zootopia overtook Batman v Superman this weekend to become the second highest grossing film of the year thus far.

But real question: who on earth was going to Batman v Superman This weekend of all weekends (it earned another million) with Iron Man vs. Captain America available to them?

Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord – and many horror films to boot. Payback has always been a constant theme, whether it’s a sinister spirit avenging murder, or a maniacal parent repaying camp counselors for not watching her handicapped child. The meteoric rise in popularity of video games and personal computers at the turn of the 80’s, married with ancient evil, brought a modern edge to this shopworn trope. A sympathetic tale of comeuppance, Evilspeak (1981) serves up its revenge under the computer screen’s warm glow.

Released by Moreno Films, first in Japan in August of ’81 and February of ’82 in North America, Evilspeak nearly made back its 1,000,000 Us budget opening weekend stateside. A few good reviews trickled in, comparing it favorably to the high school horrorfest Carrie (1976). Regardless of comparisons, it stands as a unique antique of a burgeoning time in technology and a potent payback tale.

It's safe to say Hilary Duff and Haylie Duff's children are on their way to becoming BFFs. Sure, Haylie just welcomed her daughter Ryan three months ago. And yes, Hilary's son Luca is reaching toddler status at three years old. But in a short amount of time, both sisters have witnessed a bond that is only going to get stronger in time.

As Deliver Us From Evil lands on disc in the UK, we look back at key lessons the movies teach us about possession...

The idea of demonic possession goes back thousands of years, to before we had film. Most religions carry their own interpretation of what it means for a person to be 'possessed' by a demon or a spirit and it's a complicated, arcane subject shrouded in mystery and ritual.

The Sumerians, thousands of years before Christ, believed all diseases were caused by 'sickness demons' and had their sorcerers attempt early exorcisms as cures. The Quran talks extensively of Jinn (demons) that can drive people to insanity and may only be expelled via worship. In the Bible, Satan and his demons are very much at large using human beings as vessels for devilish deeds. Jesus casts a whole bunch of them out before he's accused of being demon-possessed himself...

The business of rock -- the creative juices, the vibe, the sound and fury, the rage, the excitement, the whole kit and caboodle -- is very lacking these days. Songs come and go, like cotton candy -- looks good, tastes good, but leaves no lasting impression other than a disgusting sugary aftertaste. Few can scale the heights and maintain the majesty of Rawk! One would be hard-pressed to find young rock bands today with the chops and creativity to sustain four to five decades of arena-sized music-making like the Stones, Kiss, Tom Petty, The Boss, AC/DC, Eagles, The Who, U2. I would argue there is perhaps just one band excellent enough to carry that very heavy torch and to wave it high and wide -- Green Day. Formed in Berkley in 1987, they are well on their way: this year marks their 25th anniversary in the music biz. 

Green Day has swag.
