Spoiler Alert: This piece discusses plot points from the first two episode of The White Lotus.

Up until Season 3 of The White Lotus, many assumed that an ingredient for the show’s separate island itinerary format was one connecting character from a previous season. Jennifer Coolidge, as Tanya McQuoid, appeared in back-to-back seasons, initially as a woman mourning her mother and then as an adventurous newlywed.

Natasha Rothwell’s Belinda Lindsey befriended Tanya in Season 1, and while Rothwell sat Season 2 out, she has brought Belinda back in full force to Thailand for Season 3. As Rothwell explained to Deadline ahead of episode one, Belinda is navigating the line between hotel guest and employee this season, as she is more of the former while learning from a group of the latter to broaden her own career knowledge and expertise.

What nobody saw coming was a character who could connect all three seasons...

This critically acclaimed drama about how spaces can haunt and heal us is the finest work of John Cho, Haley Lu Richardson and director Kogonada’s careers

Brady Corbet’s Oscar hopeful The Brutalist offers a somewhat skewed depiction of architectural intent, one where public demonstrations of genius and private catharses have an outsized impact on a building’s design. Grand gestures and hidden intentions make for good drama but physical space in The Brutalist is rendered secondary to psychological space – it’s a film about a great architect, not great architecture. For the latter, one must watch the Korean-American director Kogonada’s film Columbus.

Early on in this gentle drama, Jin (John Cho) speaks of the renowned architect James Polshek’s belief in architecture as a “healing art” while looking at one of Polshek’s designs: the glass walkway of the Columbus regional mental health center.

There’s a fan theory circulating about The White Lotus season three about Laurie, played by Carrie Coon. The theory suggests that Portia from season two, who is played by Haley Lu Richardson, is Laurie’s daughter!

The reason why fans think this is because in creator Mike White‘s The White Lotus universe, we’ve learned that there are lots of hidden connections and characters can pop in and out. Another reason fans have made the connection is in one memorable moment, Laurie’s friends comment that her daughter is so “cool.”

In a new interview, Carrie was asked about the possible Portia-Laurie connection.

"The White Lotus" is back for its third season, and this time, creator Mike White — who won multiple Emmys for the show's first two outings — is bringing audiences to Thailand to see who's getting murdered. So, what can we expect? Probably some foreboding yet gorgeous shots of the Thai landscape, friction between the staff members of the fictional luxury White Lotus hotel in the Asian country, and a star-studded cast. Season 1, set in Hawaii's beautiful Maui, featured pretty phenomenal performers like Connie Britton, Natasha Rothwell, Steve Zahn, Sydney Sweeney, Molly Shannon, Jake Lacy, Murray Bartlett, and Jennifer Coolidge.

Bollywood Mascot: Justin Baldoni, known for his role in Jane the Virgin and as the director of the emotional drama Five Feet Apart, is facing legal troubles tied to his acclaimed film. In a surprising turn of events, Baldoni’s own lawyer has filed a lawsuit, claiming that the actor-director appropriated a writer’s original script for the 2019 film, which starred Cole Sprouse and Haley Lu Richardson.

The Allegations

The lawsuit alleges that Baldoni used a script submitted by an aspiring writer without proper acknowledgment or compensation. According to the claims, the writer provided a detailed narrative that closely mirrors the storyline of Five Feet Apart, which follows two young patients navigating love and life while battling cystic fibrosis.

Baldoni, who also served as a producer for the movie, has been accused of adapting the script into the final version of the film without crediting its original author.

Justin Baldoni’s high-profile litigator Bryan Freedman has been on the warpath to defend his client in the evolving drama over It Ends With Us. Weeks after filing a $250 million libel suit against The New York Times for allegedly conspiring with the film’s star Blake Lively and her PR team to advance an “unverified and self-serving narrative” using “cherry-picked and altered communications stripped of necessary context,” the attorney’s firm on Jan. 21 highlighted a chunk of unedited footage featuring the actors in the hope of debunking claims of sexual harassment.

Yet Freedman, one of the entertainment industry’s most divisive attorneys (in a 2024 Hollywood Reporter profile he explained: “If you fuck with my client, you get what you get”), has gone after Baldoni, too. In a previously unreported 2021 case that’s since been settled, he represented a person with cystic fibrosis who’d appeared on the Baldoni-produced and -hosted docuseries My Last Days,...

Sometimes, a movie just doesn't get the fair shake that it deserves, even if all of the right pieces seem to be in place. Such was the case with "The Bronze." A comedy released by Sony Pictures Classics in 2016, the film was pretty much dead on arrival and hardly registered at all with moviegoers at the time despite being written by and starring Melissa Rauch of "The Big Bang Theory" fame. Mind you, this was when the CBS sitcom was still thriving on the air. So, what went wrong?

For those who may not be familiar, "The Bronze" centers on Hope Ann Greggory (Rauch). Once America's sweetheart, Hope's performance on a ruptured achilles at a prestigious gymnastics tournament when she was younger brought glory to her small hometown in Ohio. In the years since that third place victory, however,...

Haley Lu Richardson got her start in the entertainment industry not as an actor, but as a dancer. Richardson grew up training in dance and decided to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the performing arts at just 16. Without formal acting training or experience, however, Richardson started off with roles as dancers and choreographers, something she already had experience with. She even appeared as a dancer in the Disney Channel dance-themed sitcom Shake It Up.

Though she had been acting for several years by that point, Richardsons big breakthrough in the acting world came from Five Feet Apart in 2019. Its not her best film, but its one of her best-known because of its appeal to young adult audiences and romance fans. While its notable, these are actually her best movie and TV projects in her career.

Bleecker Street has taken North American rights to the Scott McGehee and David Siegel directed and written feature, The Friend, starring Naomi Watts, Bill Murray and a Great Dane named Bing. A 2025 theatrical release is planned.

The film marks Bleecker Street’s second collaboration with Siegel & McGehee, having handled the US release of their 2021 neo-Western drama Montana Story, starring Haley Lu Richardson and Owen Teague.

In The Friend, writer and teacher Iris (Watts) finds her comfortable, solitary New York life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor (Murray) dies suddenly and bequeaths her his beloved 150 lb. Great Dane. The regal yet intractable beast, named Apollo, immediately creates practical problems for Iris, from furniture destruction to eviction notices, as well as more existential ones, his looming presence constantly reminding her of her friend’s problematic choices in both life and death. Yet as Iris finds herself unexpectedly bonding with the animal,...

The Friend, a grief drama from writer/directors Scott McGehee and David Siegel about a writer mourning her late pal while dealing with the Great Dane dog he left behind, and starring Naomi Watts and Bill Murray, has been picked up by Bleecker Street.

Having taken the North American rights to the pic, Bleecker plans an early 2025 theatrical release for the adaptation of Sigrid Nunez’s novel.

The White Lotus star Meghann Fahy has discussed the possibility of reprising her role while at New York Comic Con. The HBO dramedy is an anthology where each season takes place in a different location of the titular fictional luxury resort, including Hawai'i, Italy, and Thailand.

The upcoming The White Lotus season 3 is also set to feature the return of Natasha Rothwell as season 1 staff member Belinda Lindsey.

During New York Comic Con, Screen Rant had the opportunity to sit down with Meghann Fahy, who played Cameron Sullivan's (Theo James) duplicitous wife Daphne in season 2 of The White Lotus.

Lauren Lavera is currently starring in Damien Leone’s Terrifier 3, but she actually got her start as Anya Taylor-Joy’s body double in Split. The M. Night Shyamalan thriller was Lavera’s first experience as a background artist after the director spotted her on set.

“One day, M. Night passed me and we connected eyes. My mom was with me on set that day and she was like, ‘Oh, that was weird. Did he recognize you?’ And I was like, ‘I’ve never met him before in my life,’” Lavera told THR. “And the day after, I got a call from the casting director asking me if I could be the double for Anya. So I wondered if he saw some resemblance between Anya and I in that moment the day before. We both had darker hair, and we were probably closer in physical appearance at that time.“

In addition to doubling for Taylor-Joy,...

Michael Myers and Ghostface met their match with Laurie Strode and Sidney Prescott, respectively, and now Art the Clown has met his courtesy of Lauren Lavera’s Sienna Shaw in the Terrifier franchise.

For every larger-than-life slasher villain, there’s usually a determined final girl there to stop them. If Terrifier (2016) was Art’s (David Howard Thornton) introduction, then Terrifier 2 (2022) was Sienna’s origin story, establishing her as the co-lead of the indie franchise thanks to Lavera’s equally emotional and physical performance. Terrifier mastermind Damien Leone recently told THR that Lavera’s Sienna is not only his favorite character, but that she’s also the “heart and soul” of his successful franchise.

“It’s just as much her franchise as it is Art the Clown’s at this point,” Leone told The Hollywood Reporter in a recent interview ahead of Oct. 11th’s theatrical release of Terrifier 3.

Ben Hardy and Mia Tomlinson have joined Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga on the cast of ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites.’

James McAvoy recently recounted his “last minute” preparation for the starring role in M. Night Shyamalan‘s 2016 thriller Split after the Oscar-winning actor exited the production two weeks before filming kicked off in Philadelphia.

“I’m confident enough to think I’ll do it better. I’m joking!” said McAvoy on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “He’s an amazing actor. I think he’d give a very different performance to the one I did, but I think he’d give an incredible performance.”

He added, “Sometimes coming in last minute is the best way. I think he ditched it two weeks before they started shooting. It was really last minute. I had two weeks.”

Although Naomi Watts wrangles a huge Great Dane, The Friend is far from your average doggie movie. There are no slapstick scenes of the dog running away with her, and no mawkishness even though the film is about grief. This is a fresh, unsentimental yet touching story about Iris (Watts), a writer and teacher, adjusting to life without her best friend, Walter (Bill Murray), a famous, womanizing author. His suicide was a shock. But another shoe drops when she learns that he has left her Apollo, a Great Dane who almost comes up to her waist.

The drama is based on Sigrid Nunez’s novel, which, while much loved and admired, seems unadaptable on the page: It is told in the first person and Iris frequently addresses Walter directly, dropping in comments about writing and books as well as recalling the details of their past relationship. But directors Scott McGehee...

Aubrey Plaza starred in The White Lotus Season 2, but the star has not seen herself in the series almost two years after it aired on HBO.

I couldn’t figure out the password and I usually just give up when I can’t figure out the passwords. I just can’t handle things like that.”

Plaza said that she has requested DVDs of the series to watch it, adding, “I’d love a DVD, but they don’t send DVD sets anymore. I ask them every time.”

In addition to Plaza, The White Lotus...
