The Bear has to be one of the best series ever created. The FX comedy-drama series is intense, funny, tragic, and has some of the most beautiful-looking food I’ve ever seen.

We are also happy that The Bear was renewed for a fourth season ahead of its Season 3 premiere.

Ania Trzebiatowska has compiled an eclectic selection of fiction and non-fiction titles for the third annual Sands International Film Festival, which kicked off Friday evening in St Andrews, Scotland.

Mounted across this weekend in the ancient university town, Trzebiatowska — also a full-time programmer at Sundance — runs the festival with an impressive gang of part-time student programmers from the University of St. Andrews, a partner on the festival alongside Joe and Anthony Russo’s Agbo. The Avengers: Endgame filmmakers are connected to the town through Joe’s eldest daughter, who studied at St Andrews. The two Russos were in the building this evening.

The exhilarating rush of flirtation runs through the beginning of Alyin Tezel’s romantic drama but it’s the slowburn of connection that becomes the focus as they/won’t they tale unfolds. Initially the wintry melancholy of Skye matches the mood of Kira (who is also played by Tezel). She’s supposed to be on the island as part of a loved-up getaway but after splitting up with her boyfriend Aidan (Rory Fleck Byrne) it has become a journey into solitude.

But when she encounters Ian in the local pub, the sparks of attraction are immediately evident. The kinetic camerawork from Julian Krubasik has a heady immediacy that carries us with them as they horse about in the deserted late night streets of the town.

As might be expected from an actress-turned-director, the performances are important to Tezel...

' Photo: Courtesy of Thessaloniki Film Festival Naqqash Khalid's debut In Camera centres on actor Aden (Nabhaan Rizwan), who is a bit of a blank slate at work and in his home life in the flat he shares with exhausted doctor Bo (Rory Fleck Byrne) and the stylish and confident Conrad (Amir El-Masry).

“It’s absolutely clear, there is a real appetite for British independent cinema in France,” said artistic director Dominque Green.

Sasha Polak’s Silver Haze scooped the top prize at this month’s Dinard Film Festival, the French seaside festival that spotlights UK and Irish cinema for French audiences, that ran from September 27 to October 1.

Berlinale Panorama title Silver Haze won the Golden Hitchcock for best film. Polak’s feature reunites the Dutch filmmaker with UK actor Vicky Knight, after working together on Dirty God in 2019. It is loosely based on Knight’s own experience as a child, in which she survived an arson attack.

The BFI and Film4 have selected what has been described as nine “high-budget” short film projects that will receive cash funding in the first round of awards from their Future Takes short film fund.

Each selected filmmaking team is set to be awarded between £55,000-£90,000 to create their projects. The nine greenlit projects will shoot between September 2023 and spring 2024.

"Lola was never meant to be an instrument of violence..." Dark Sky Films has revealed an official trailer for Lola, a strange B&w indie film creation from young filmmaker Andrew Legge. This premiered at the 2022 Locarno Film Festival last year and also played at FrightFest, and the Melbourne & Edinburgh Film Fests. Set in 1941 in England, two sisters invent a machine that intercepts broadcasts from the future. With World War II dawning, they use it to change history. The story follows Thom and Mars, who build the machine they call Lola, that can intercept radio & TV broadcasts from the future. "While Thom becomes intoxicated by Lola, Mars begins to realize the terrible consequences of its power." Uh oh. The indie film stars Emma Appleton and Stefanie Martini as the two sisters, Thom and Mars (Thomasina and Martha), with Hugh O'Conor, Rory Fleck Byrne, Ayvianna Snow, and Aaron Monaghan. This looks like a very intriguing experimental creation,...

One of the more compelling discoveries we came across on the festival circuit last year was Andrew Legge’s directorial debut Lola, a faux found footage film that plays with historical and science fiction. Starring Stefanie Martini, Emma Appleton, Rory Fleck Byrne, and Aaron Monaghan, the film follows two sisters in 1941 Englad who invent a machine that intercepts broadcasts from the future. With World War II dawning, they use it to change history. Picked up by Dark Star Films for a U.S. release in theaters and on VOD on August 9, the first trailer has now arrived.

Here’s the official synopsis: “1941, sisters Thom and Mars have built a machine, Lola, that can intercept radio and TV broadcasts from the future. This allows them to listen to iconic music before it has been made, place bets knowing what the outcome will be and embrace their inner punk well before the movement came into existence.

The event was held at Home House, London on July 5

Screen celebrated the launch of the UK & Ireland Stars of Tomorrow 2023 with a party at Home House, London on Wednesday, July 5.

Most of this year’s Stars were in attendance, including Kit Connor, Ruby Stokes, Leo Woodall, Ronke Adekoluejo, Rory Fleck Byrne and Mia McKenna-Bruce.

Naqqash Khalid always wanted to make films.

An English literature graduate of Salford University in Manchester, England, who began his working life as a lecturer in the university’s School of Arts and Media, Khalid dreamed of working with actors to create films that reflect our 21st century experience of a fractured world, dominated by mobile phones and social media, where time no longer seems to follow a linear path.

His chance to make his dreams reality came when a script he wrote while still teaching at Salford was picked up by iFeatures – a BBC Film/Creative England/British Film Institute program for debut directors. A development grant in early 2020 enabled him to realize his script “In Camera,” which had its world premiere Saturday in Karlovy Vary Film Festival’s Proxima competition slot (for the Variety review see here).

Khalid, now 30, says the film enabled him to explore the nature...

The thing Aden likes about acting, he tells someone who cares enough to ask, is “how organized it is.” You know where you stand, quite literally, because someone tells you; you’re given things to say, and told how to say them. Order and certainty aren’t typically seen as benefits of the thespian calling, and even Aden doesn’t sound entirely convinced of his own words. But then Aden — played, in a performance of brilliant, diamantine versatility, by Nabhaan Rizwan — is never entirely convinced of himself, period, when he hasn’t a script to follow or a character to inhabit. A simultaneously playful and savagely pointed satire from first-time feature director Naqqash Khalid, “In Camera” traces how its young British-Asian protagonist’s sense of identity is progressively diminished by the cynicism and tokenism of the industry he’s trying to crack — though as it turns out, when you lose yourself entirely,...

Directed by Andrew Legge, Lola is an inventive and original British time travel thriller that makes inspired use of archive footage and features a superb soundtrack, including an original song by The Divine Comedy’s Neil Hannon. However, it’s slightly let down by the performances and a lack of attention to the general aesthetic.

The film purports to be a found footage movie, set in the early 1940s. Emma Appleton and Stefanie Martini play Tom and Martha, a pair of eccentric orphan sisters who live in a large mansion house. When their scientific tinkering results in a time machine called Lola, they discover they can receive TV signals from the future, allowing them to accurately predict events in the present.

With the country ravaged by WWII, Tom...

Ben Whishaw is as charismatic as ever on the AMC+ and Sundance Now medical drama This Is Going To Hurt.

The highly-anticipated series receives its stateside debut tomorrow (June 2), and TV Fanatic has an exclusive first look.

Whishaw plays a doctor named Adam Kay, who finds himself trying to get a patient some urgent care.

However, things take a potentially dangerous turn, and the patient is left wondering whether Adam is a real doctor.

We don't want to go into too many details because it will ruin the surprise of the clip.

The series is based on Adam Kay’s award-winning international memoir of the same name.

Created, written, and executive produced by Kay, This Is Going To Hurt follows Adam (Whishaw), a doctor who is finding his way through the ranks of hospital hierarchy, the crippling hours, and terrifying responsibilities.

Adam is overwhelmed by stress, 97-hour work weeks, and...

“You think that you are the cleverest person in the room, and that makes you dangerous,” a colleague tells Dr. Adam Kay, the British obstetrician at the center of the UK limited series This Is Going to Hurt. Ordinarily, this is the kind of sentiment hurled at the protagonist of a modern antihero drama, or at least the main character of a slightly complex network procedural. (If that exact sentence was never said to Dr. Gregory House, the general sentiment surely was, many times over.)

Adam is, indeed, guilty of...

“This is Going to Hurt” is the Brit-produced BBC medical drama/comedy TV series, based on a memoir by Adam Kay, directed by Lucy Forbes and Tom Kingsley, starring Ben Whishaw, Ambika Mod, Alex Jennings, Michele Austin, Rory Fleck Byrne, Ashley McGuire and Kadiff Kirwan, streaming June 2, 2022 on AMC+:

“…a group of junior doctors work in a busy obstetrics and gynaecology ward in a “National Health Service” hospital, with a focus on their professional and personal lives exploring the emotional effects of working in a stressful work environment …”

Amazon Prime Video has released the first teaser trailer for the new Chris Pratt action-thriller series “The Terminal List.”

Based on the best-selling novel by Jack Carr, the series follows James Reece (Pratt) after his platoon of Navy SEALs is wiped out during a covert mission. Reece’s situation worsens when he returns home to his family and conflicting memories and questions about his culpability arise. As new evidence about the ambush comes to light, Reece discovers dark forces working against him, endangering not only his life, but the lives of those he loves.

The series also stars Constance Wu, Taylor Kitsch, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Riley Keough, Arlo Mertz, Jai Courtney, Jd Pardo, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Lamonica Garrett, Stephen Bishop, Sean Gunn, Tyner Rushing, Jared Shaw, Christina Vidal, Nick Chinlund, Matthew Rauch, Warren Kole and Alexis Louder.

Pratt and Jon Schumacher executive produce for Indivisible Productions alongside Antoine Fuqua of Fuqua Films.

Casting has been announced, and first-look images released, for the highly anticipated adaptation of Adam Kay’s multi-million copy bestseller ‘This is Going to Hurt.’

The 7 episode series follows Adam, a doctor who we find wending his way through the ranks of hospital hierarchy – junior enough to suffer the crippling hours, but senior enough to face a constant barrage of terrifying responsibilities. Adam is clinging to his personal life as he is increasingly overwhelmed by stresses at work: the 97-hour weeks, the life and death decisions, and all the while knowing the hospital parking meter is earning more than him.

Whishaw is joined by newcomer Ambika Mod as Shruti, a young junior doctor just starting in obstetrics and gynaecology. Naturally bright, diligent and caring, she has everything it takes to be a great doctor, but the job still finds ways to throw her into chaos and doubt.

Michele Austin (Meet the Richardsons,...

The BBC and AMC’s medical memoir series This Is Going To Hurt has rounded out its cast with stars including Harriet Walter (Killing Eve) and Alex Jennings (The Crown), while the broadcasters have revealed the first look at Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Ben Whishaw in the lead role.

The seven-part drama, which was first announced by the BBC and Chernobyl producer Sister in July 2018, is based on Adam Kay’s book of the same name. It tells the unvarnished story of life on a hospital ward through the eyes of a junior doctor, charting the heart-lifting highs and the gut-wrenching lows.

Walter plays Veronique, Adam Kay’s mother, while Jennings is a consultant and domineering boss. Other cast includes Ambika Mod as Shruti, a young junior doctor just starting in obstetrics and gynaecology; Michele Austin (Meet the Richardsons) as a sharp-witted midwife; Kadiff Kirwan (Chewing Gum) as Adam’s...

Though there have been occasions to wish he didn’t write so much of it, nobody writes dialogue quite like Quentin Tarantino. We know that because so very, very many have tried, fueling a whole subgenre of blatant “Reservoir Dogs” and “Pulp Fiction” imitations that mercifully began subsiding around the turn of the millennium, but still pop up at least a couple times per year. What they usually have in common is a brash confidence in the wit of their snappy patter and ingenuity of their pretzeling plots — as well as frequently being dead wrong on both counts.

“Pixie” is an Irish tale, and as a result also recalls the screen work of the McDonaugh brothers in their more Tarantino-esque modes. But this collaboration between veteran producer Barnaby Thompson (whose only prior directorial features were the lead-footed “St. Trinian’s” reboots) and his writer son Preston goes beyond homage or aspirational imitation,...

Game of Thrones’ Rosabell Laurenti Sellers, Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D’s Falk Hentschel, Black Panther’s Florence Kasumba and Bad Bank’s Désirée Nosbusch star in new alien invasion drama Spides.

"Does she make you want to write or live?" "Both." Thunderbird Releasing has debuted an official UK trailer for a film titled Vita & Virginia, a romantic drama inspired by the letters written between Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West. "A daring celebration of an unconventional bond, and a vivid exploration of gender, sexuality, creativity and passion, Vita & Virginia details the love story of two women - two writers - who smashed through social barriers to find solace in their forbidden connection." The film stars Gemma Arterton as Vita, and Elizabeth Debicki as Virginia, and is set in the 1920s in London. Despite the odds, the magnetic Vita and the beguiling Virginia forge an unconventional affair, set against the backdrop of their own strikingly contemporary marriages - which inspired one of Woolf’s most iconic novels, "Orlando". The cast includes Isabella Rossellini, Rupert Penry-Jones, Peter Ferdinando, Emerald Fennell, Gethin Anthony,...

Don't mess with Jackie Chan. Stx Entertainment has unveiled a new trailer, which is just one action scene, for the film The Foreigner, starring Jackie Chan in a serious role as a man who goes for revenge when the police do nothing. This scene was teased in the first trailer, but now we get to see it play out entirely as Chan is hunted by a group of mercenaries. This is Martin Campbell's latest film, director of GoldenEye, Casino Royale, Edge of Darkness; adapted from a book called "The Chinaman". He plays a father who tries to get revenge when his daughter is killed in an Ira bombing, leading him right up to the politicians. It also stars Pierce Brosnan, Charlie Murphy, Katie Leung, Simon Kunz, Rory Fleck Byrne, Stephen Hogan, Pippa Bennett-Warner, and Dermot Crowley. This looks so much better than Bleeding Steel.

"Never push a good man too far." A trailer has debuted for the action film The Foreigner, starring Jackie Chan in a serious role as a man who goes for revenge when the police do nothing to help him.

The power struggle between the two main bawdy houses in “Harlots” is about to get even more personal.

I have to admit, I get a kick out of seeing the word “Hammer” on the posters and DVD cases of modern horror releases. A studio associated with classic British horror of the past, Hammer are a mark of quality when it comes to atmospheric, gothic and haunting films, so I was interested in what we would be greeted with when The Quiet Ones was announced.

John Pogue, writer of films such as U.S Marshals and Ghost Ship, and director of Quarantine 2: The Terminal, stands behind the big camera once again for a creepy and tense horror film that follows other recent Hammer output like The Woman in Black and Wake Wood.

.The Quiet Ones,. bearing the mark of Hammer Films, is a scary flick that features the age-old debate between science and the supernatural. Jared Harris stars as Professor Coupland, a professor who thinks he can exorcise demons using science. His subject for his experiment is Jane Harper (Olivia Cooke), a possessed young girl with deep, dark secrets. Capturing the entire experiment is Brian McNeil played by Sam Claflin (.The Hunger Games: Catching Fire).

Is .The Quiet Ones. worth your time and money? Check out my review.

Official Synopsis:

From the producer who brought you The Woman In Black and Let Me In comes the unnerving tale of The Quiet Ones. Tucked away in an estate outside of London, Professor Coupland along with a team of university students conduct an "experiment" on Jane Harper, a young girl who harbors unspeakable secrets. What dark forces they uncover are more terrifying than any of them expected.

The Quiet Ones – those who have witnessed the unexplainable, the possibly supernatural, and are rendered speechless beyond logical response. Psychologists, men of scholar, can remain calm behind a wall of reason, pointing to mental manifestations, emotional sickness, and events that can be controlled, but the quiet ones refuse to let the unknown be contained by theories and experiments. Scientists will burn the world down in their quest for knowledge and answers, but sometimes the most preposterous summation begs more attention than the conclusion within safe grasping distance, especially when dealing with demons, possessions, or paranoias thought to be nothing but campfire stories. The quiet ones embrace fear, humility and acceptance while arrogant intellectuals bullishly disregard methods without proof – a confident practice that many knowledgeable minds may discount after watching Hammer’s latest haunted story.

Professor Joseph Coupland (Jared Harris) is a heralded university professor looking to break the boundaries of psychological research.

This weekend's horror offering, Hammer's The Quiet Ones (review), is supposedly based upon true events. So we figured we'd look around and come up with the actual video of said events. Curious? Take a look!

The film draws inspiration from the Philip Experiment of 1972, in which Canadian academic researchers tried to prove that telekinesis, poltergeists, and the like manifest solely through the human mind.

A quick trip to YouTube yielded some fruits for us paranormal-loving souls. The video you see below contains actual footage from the aforementioned experiment, and honestly? It's pretty damned interesting. Check it out, and tell us what you make of it!

I enjoyed meeting the three stars from the upcoming film .The Quiet Ones. namely Sam Claflin (.The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.), Olivia Cooke (.Bates Motel.), and Jared Harris (.Sherlock Holmes: The Game of Shadows,. .Pompeii,. .Lincoln.).

The film, bearing the mark of Hammer Films, talks about extracting demonic energy or negative energy according to Professor Joseph Coupland (Harris) and he wants to do exactly just that to Jane Harper (Cooke) who has been talking about a supernatural entity named Evey. Coupland hires videographer, Brian McNeil (Claflin) to document the experiment.

I sat down with the cast to talk about their interest in making the movie, working on the set, and the age-old argument between science and the supernatural.

.The Quiet Ones. from director John Pogue arrives in theaters on Friday, April 25.

Official Synopsis:

From the producer who brought you The Woman In Black and Let Me In comes the unnerving tale of The Quiet Ones.

In the ’70s-set The Quiet Ones, Jared Harris (Mad Men) portrays a British professor determined to prove that there is a scientific explanation for the seemingly supernatural phenomena besetting a young woman, played by Bates Motel actress Olivia Cooke. As The Quiet Ones, which opens this Friday, comes to us from the famously horror-obsessed U.K company Hammer, it does not spoil things too much to reveal that the prof’s plan goes wildly awry.

Below, Harris talks about The Quiet Ones — which co-stars Erin Richards, Rory Fleck-Byrne, and Hunger Games franchise cast member Sam Claflin — and why your guess...
