<p>Popular American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift is currently awaiting the release of her tenth studio album called 'Midnights'. Her first body of work since 2020's 'Evermore', 'Midnights', like a lot of Swift's music, is drawn from her real world experiences. It is described as a concept album that sprang up from "13 sleepless nights" of her life. In Swift's words it is a "journey through terrors and sweet dreams." To promote the album, Swift has been revealing things that keep her awake at night. Until now, the pop singer has revealed that 'self-loathing' and 'fantasising about revenge' are two of those five things.</p>

<p>Actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore has clarified her flippant comments on her show 'The Drew Barrymore Show' that were taken to be seriously by some. The actress was speaking with actor Andrew Garfield when he said he was a celibate for six months before playing a Jesuit priest in Martin Scorsese's 2016 film 'Silence'. In response, Barrymore had joked, "What’s wrong with me that six months doesn’t seem like a very long time? I was like, ‘Yeah so?’” But some of her fans took the comments seriously. Barrymore revealed she was approached by a woman post-workout who apparently told her, "You look just like Drew Barrymore except for you look like you have mental wellness and besides ... she hates sex!”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, in a new blog post, Barrymore has opened up about comments about sex and how her views about intimacy have evolved over the years. "At nearly 48 I have very different feelings about intimacy than I did growing up," she wrote.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I did not have role model parents and I engaged with people in grown up ways since a tender age! I was looking for companionship! validation! excitement! pleasure! hedonism! fun! And adventures!! Now, because I can’t get in the time machine and change my history ... [I] choose to look at it through a positive lens, which is that I lived! I lived a very rich full life," added Barrymore.</p>

<p>She said, "However, after two kids and a separation from their father that has made me cautious, I have had the pleasure of shifting my focus when it comes to love for myself and my two daughters. I know that does not include a man nor has it for a while. I’ve come to realize through working in therapy (with Barry), he said something and I had to write it down. He said, 'Sex is not love! It is the expression of love.' I have searched my whole life to have words like that to help me understand the difference and now, thanks to him, I do."</p>

<p>Barrymore has been married thrice. Her last marriage, with art consultant Will Kopelman, lasted four years from 2012 to 2016. They have two daughters. One, Olive, was born in 2012, and another Frankie was born in 2014.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"So I’m not a person who needs sex and has to go out there and engage with people on that level. I am someone who is deeply committed to fostering how young girls, my daughters, and myself as a woman, are supposed to function in this world! A relationship with a man has not been top of mind for me for a very long time," went on Barrymore.</p>

<p>The first reviews of Dwayne Johnson-fronted DC movie 'Black Adam' are here. After 57 reviews, this Jaume Collet-Serra directorial appears to have divided critics. It has scored 54 per cent on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. The film marks Johnson's foray into superhero movies. Earlier Johnson was going to essay the character opposite Zachary Levi in 2019's 'Shazam!' but then it was decided to give the character a solo movie first. Apart from the titular character, the movie also marks the live-action debut of the Justice Society, which was the original superhero team of the DC Universe before Justice League debuted.</p>

'Black Adam' review roundup: Here's how Dwayne Johnson's DC movie is faring with critics

<p>Proving all naysayers wrong, 'House of the Dragon' has became a show with a similar reputation as its parent series 'Game of Thrones' — something that dominated a big part of the conversation centring around television shows. Some might say that compared head-to-head and season-to-season, 'HotD' season 1 has an edge over 'GoT' season 1. 'HotD' is set about 172 years before the events of the original show. Like the story of Jon Snow, Arya Stark, Daenerys Targaryen, and so on, 'HotD' also centres around a struggle for the Iron Throne, the seat of the monarch on the fictional continent of Westeros. But while the tussle for power in 'GoT' was between houses, in the new series it is among the Targaryens themselves.</p>

<p>Now, only one episode of season 1 remains to be aired. A trailer for the season finale is out. You can watch it below.</p>

<p>In the penultimate episode, titled 'The Green Council', King Viserys I Targaryen (Paddy Considine) finally shuffled off his mortal coil. While he had designated his daughter and only child Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) as the heir, Queen Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) claimed he changed his mind just before dying and said their son Aegon should be the king instead. Now the Red Keep is being controlled by the Hightowers and their allies while Rhaenyra and her uncle/lover Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith)&nbsp;sit at Dragonstone off the coast of Westeros. War beckons, and this will not be pretty since each sides has plenty of dragons.</p>

<p>A recent report in The Hollywood Reporter was full of potential revelations about the upcoming DC films. Among them was a nugget that a sequel to the upcoming movie 'The Flash' is already in development with a script being written. This is surprising because the film, set to be released next year, has been in all sorts of trouble thanks to the star <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-ezra-miller-apologizes-to-warner-bros-bosses-for-bringing-negative-attention-to-the-flash-franchise-510630">Ezra Miller'</a></strong>s multiple and seemingly ceaseless run-ins with the law. David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick is scripting 'The Flash' sequel and the chances of it being greenlit depend on how the first film does. The film, which will explore the concept of the multiverse in the DC universe, stars Miller in the role of Barry Allen or the Flash, the speedster superhero and member of the Justice League.</p>

<p>Miller recently pleaded not guilty to charges that have been levelled against him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film, directed by 'It' duology helmer, was supposed to be the big comeback of Michael Keaton in the role of Batman. Since the film is all about the multiverse, there can be multiple versions of the same character. Ben Affleck will also be seen as the Caped Crusader. Sasha Calle will also debut in DCEU as Supergirl.</p>

<p>Ron Livingston, Kiersey Clemons, Michael Shannon, and Antje Traue also star.</p>

<p>It was not known earlier whether 'The Flash' itself will see the light of the day as the new David Zaslav's leadership at Warner Bros Discovery has proven itself to be ruthless, shelving an almost-finished $90 million 'Batgirl' movie. But 'The Flash, budgeted at $200 million, is perhaps too expensive to be cancelled.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The titular role, however, might be recast, as Miller has proven himself to be nothing other than trouble in a recent couple of years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With Robert Pattinson-starrer 'The Batman' writer-director Matt Reeves did not just make a movie on the iconic DC superhero, he also kicked off a whole new cinematic universe involving Batman, supporting characters like James Gordon, and his rogues gallery of supervillains. For instance, there is a TV series on the character Oswald Cobblepot or Penguin is in development, with Colin Farrell set to return. Now, as per a report in The Hollywood Reporter, Matt Reeves may also be spearheading movies on several supervillains that inhabit the seedy streets of Gotham City and often come into conflict with the Caped Crusader. Many Bat-villains have horror potential, something Reeves excels in.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per THR, Reeves is in contact with writers and directors for movies on characters like Scarecrow, Clayface, and Professor Pyg. While Scarecrow is pretty well-known other two will be known only to diehard fans of Batman. The report said the projects are in the "very early" stages of development. This sounds like a cool idea, especially since Bat-villains, with the notable exception of Joker, have sadly gotten short-shrift treatment in live-action, and these characters have great potential if a decent scribe is in charge.</p>

<p>In many stories, these villainous characters end up outdoing even the hero of the story.</p>

<p>It appears acclaimed director James Gunn has is developing another secret DC project. As per a report in The Hollywood Reporter, Gunn and his producer Peter Safran are circling a "mystery" DC movie and even one another project. There are no details about the project(s) available right now, but it is likely not a sequel to his 2021 film 'The Suicide Squad' and some other project. It is not a huge surprise, since the film was critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful (it was a victim of Warner Bros' 2021 move to release every movie simultaneously on HBO Max and in theatres).</p>

<p>Gunn has had quite a journey since he was associated exclusively with Marvel. In 2018 Disney, the parent company of Marvel Studios from any projects of the studio. The reason for the ban was his old tweets in which he appeared to joke about paedophilia and rape. The tweets resurfaced after US conservatives shared them due to his criticism of the Donald J Trump presidency. Hours after the tweets appeared, Disney ended any association with him, including the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' franchise in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This allowed Warner Bros to recruit him for a DC movie. He chose a soft reboot of the 2016 movie 'Suicide Squad'.</p>

<p>The film starred Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, Sylvester Stallone, Viola Davis, David Dastmalchian, Daniela Melchior, Michael Rooker, Jai Courtney, Peter Capaldi, Alice Braga, and Pete Davidson.</p>

It appears acclaimed director James Gunn has is developing another secret DC project. As per a report in The Hollywood Reporter, Gunn and his producer Peter Safran are circling a "mystery" DC movie and even one another project. There are no details about the project(s) available right now, but it is likely not a sequel to his 2021 film 'The Suicide Squad' and some other project. It is not a huge surprise, since the film was critically acclaimed, if not commercially successful (it was a victim of Warner Bros' 2021 move to release every movie simultaneously on HBO Max and in theatres). Gunn has had quite a journey since he was associated exclusively with Marvel. In 2018 Disney, the parent company of Marvel Studios from any projects of the studio. The reason for the ban was his old tweets in which he appeared to joke about paedophilia and rape. The tweets resurfaced after US conservatives shared them due to his criticism of the Donald J Trump presidency. Hours after the tweets appeared, Disney ended any association with him, including the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' franchise in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This allowed Warner Bros to recruit him for a DC movie. He chose a soft reboot of the 2016 movie 'Suicide Squad'. The film starred Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, Sylvester Stallone, Viola Davis, David Dastmalchian, Daniela Melchior, Michael Rooker, Jai Courtney, Peter Capaldi, Alice Braga, and Pete Davidson.

<p>'Halloween Ends', the conclusion to the 'Halloween' sequel trilogy that began with 2018's 'Halloween', is all set to scare up a cool box office opening of $43 million in its domestic market, reported Deadline. The film earned $5.4 million in Thursday previews for a first-day total of $20 million. 'Halloween Ends' reportedly had a production budget of $20 million, so that is quite impressive. The film together Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Michael Myers or the Shape (Nick Castle) in a final confrontation. They have been at it since the first film in the franchise, 'Halloween', in 1978. &nbsp;The 2018 film ignored all the intervening films and was a direct sequel to the original.</p>

<p>The film is directed by David Gordon Green and written by Green, Danny McBride, Paul Brad Logan, and Chris Bernier. &nbsp;James Jude Courtney, Andi Matichak, Will Patton, Rohan Campbell, and Kyle Richards were also in the film's cast.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The official synopsis of the film reads, "Final Girl. Final Face-Off. Final Trailer.

<p>Wion's review of the film was positive. It read, "'Halloween Ends' is leagues ahead of your run-of-the-mill slasher fare and asks questions that will make you squirm with discomfort. It is not an easy watch, and as I said above, it will divide audiences (it has already divided critics) right down in the middle. 'Halloween Ends' has dark, dark things to say about us. Michael Myers, after all, is a product of our society. He is, of course, much more than that, and his evil is unknowable like Heath Ledger's Joker in 'The Dark Knight'. But Laurie knows the evil she herself is capable of, and looks within herself to gauge whether she became a monster not too different from the man she has been fighting her whole life."</p>

<p>For the most part, however, the film was panned by critics. On the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a dismal score of 39 per cent. The critical consensus reads, "Halloween Ends -- for now, anyway -- with a frequently befuddling installment that's stabbed, slashed, and beaten by a series of frustrating missed opportunities."</p>

<p>A TV series on Herbert Asbury's 1927 non-fiction account of New York's 19th century rival underworld organisations 'The Gangs of New York' is in development, reported Deadline. Martin Scorsese, who directed an acclaimed historical drama adaptation in 2002, callled 'Gangs of New York', is attached as a director of the first two episodes. The project comes from Miramax Television. As per the Deadline report, the plot details are kept under wraps, but the series will likely explore characters that the film did not delve into.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Scorsese was earlier attached to another TV adaptation of 'The Gangs of New York', which was going to explore not just the crime scene in Big Apple of that era, but also in other cities like Chicago and New Orleans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He had said while announcing the project, "This time and era of America’s history and heritage is rich with characters and stories that we could not fully explore in a two-hour film. A television series allows us the time and creative freedom to bring this colorful world, and all the implications it had and still does on our society, to life.”</p>

<p>'Gangs of New York' starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis and Cameron Diaz in lead roles. Set in 1862, the film covers the long-running Catholic-Protestant feud that comes to a boil in the year, and an Irish immigrant gang protests against conscription. The film received highly positive reviews, with praise particularly going towards Day-Lewis' performances.&nbsp;</p>

<p>American actor and singer Janelle Monáe has revealed whose film career she would like to emulate. It's none other than Johnny Depp. She, however, made it clear she is referring to Depp the actor, not Depp the person. Monáe, known for films like 'Moonlight' and TV shows like 'Homecoming', said when she thinks about careers "this person as an actor, his life as an actor only, it’s Johnny Depp."</p>

<p>Monáe, who is a winner of the MTV Video Music Award, was speaking at a Q&amp;A at the BFI London Film Festival held before the premiere of her upcoming movie,<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-glass-onion-trailer-daniel-craigs-benoit-blanc-is-back-to-solve-another-mystery-in-knives-out-sequel-514183"> 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery'</a></strong> on Sunday.</p>

<p>“The amount of roles, from Willy Wonka, to Sweeney Todd, to all of the dramatic roles, [I want to do] whatever is the Janelle Monáe version of that, with those transformative characters that people are dressing up as on Halloween.

<p>Johnny Depp indeed has had a glorious film career. He first rose to fame with the iconic horror film 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' and the TV series '21 Jump Street' in the 1980s. In 1990, he began his long-standing collaboration with auteur Tim Burton with 'Edward Scissorhands'.

<p>But Depp is most well-known for his drunken, deceitful rogue pirate Jack Sparrow in the six ' Pirates of the Caribbean films from 2003 to 2017.</p>

<p>It is notable that Monáe focussed on Depp the actor, to differentiate it from Depp the person. In the early 2010s, Depp was one of world's biggest film stars. But his reputation took a hit after his then-wife Amber Heard, with whom he was married from 2015 to 2017, alleged physical and mental abuse in 2016. In 2018, Depp sued The Sun's publishers News Corp, unsuccessfully as it turned out, for calling him a wife-beater. In the next year, he filed a defamation suit against Heard for an op-ed she had penned for the Washington Post titled "I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture's wrath. That has to change". While she had not named him, Depp filed for defamation anyway.

<p>Veteran Scottish actor and comedian Robbie Coltrane passed away at the age of 72 on Friday (October 14). He had been suffering from ill health for close to two years. While he remained an active actor for more than 40 years and was a part of numerous big and small screen projects, he will be best remembered for his work in the 'Harry Potter' franchise as Rubeus Hagrid, a half-human and half-giant gamekeeper of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the main setting of the movies. Hagrid was the heart of the movies, a sort of gentle giant who loved a quiet life and preferred the company of animals and magical creatures more than humans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a statement, Daniel Radcliffe, who played the titular role of Harry Potter, said, "Robbie was one of the funniest people I’ve met and used to keep us laughing constantly as kids on the set. I’ve especially fond memories of him keeping our spirits up on Prisoner of Azkaban, when we were all hiding from the torrential rain for hours in Hagrid’s hut and he was telling stories and cracking jokes to keep morale up. I feel incredibly lucky that I got to meet and work with him and very sad that he’s passed. He was an incredible actor and a lovely man.”</p>

<p>On an Instagram story, Emma Watson, Hermione Granger of the 'Harry Potter' movies, said, "Robbie was like the most fun uncle I’ve ever had, but most of all, he was deeply caring and compassionate towards me as a child and an adult. His talent was so immense that it made sense he played a giant — he could fill ANY space with his brilliance. Robbie, if I ever get to be so kind as you were to me on a film set I promise I’ll do it in your name and memory. Know how much I adore and admire you. I’ll really miss your sweetness, your nicknames, your warmth, your laughs, and your hugs. You made us a family. Know you were that to us. There was no better Hagrid. You made it a joy to be Hermoine.”</p>

Veteran Scottish actor and comedian Robbie Coltrane passed away at the age of 72 on Friday (October 14). He had been suffering from ill health for close to two years.

Veteran Scottish actor and comedian Robbie Coltrane passed away at the age of 72 on Friday (October 14). He had been suffering from ill health for close to two years. While he remained an active actor for more than 40 years and was a part of numerous big and small screen projects, he will be best remembered for his work in the 'Harry Potter' franchise as Rubeus Hagrid, a half-human and half-giant gamekeeper of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the main setting of the movies. Hagrid was the heart of the movies, a sort of gentle giant who loved a quiet life and preferred the company of animals and magical creatures more than humans. Also Read: Actor Robbie Coltrane, who played Hagrid in Harry Potter movies, passes away As soon as the news of his demise emerged, tributes began pouring out on social media and other platforms. Coltrane's co-stars in 'Harry Potter' movies, the author of 'Harry Potter' book series JK Rowling, and other luminaries took to their social media handles to share tributes and condolences. I'll never know anyone remotely like Robbie again. He was an incredible talent, a complete one off, and I was beyond fortunate to know him, work with him and laugh my head off with him. I send my love and deepest condolences to his family, above all his children. pic.twitter.com/tzpln8hD9z — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 14, 2022 × JK Rowling tweeted, "I’ll never know anyone remotely like Robbie again. He was an incredible talent, a complete one off, and I was beyond fortunate to know him, work with him and laugh my head off with him. I send my love and deepest condolences to his family, above all his children.” In a statement, Daniel Radcliffe, who played the titular role of Harry Potter, said, "Robbie was one of the funniest people I’ve met and used to keep us laughing constantly as kids on the set. I’ve especially fond memories of him keeping our spirits up on Prisoner of Azkaban, when we were all hiding from the torrential rain for hours in Hagrid’s hut and he was telling stories and cracking jokes to keep morale up. I feel incredibly lucky that I got to meet and work with him and very sad that he’s passed. He was an incredible actor and a lovely man.” On an Instagram story, Emma Watson, Hermione Granger of the 'Harry Potter' movies, said, "Robbie was like the most fun uncle I’ve ever had, but most of all, he was deeply caring and compassionate towards me as a child and an adult. His talent was so immense that it made sense he played a giant — he could fill ANY space with his brilliance. Robbie, if I ever get to be so kind as you were to me on a film set I promise I’ll do it in your name and memory. Know how much I adore and admire you. I’ll really miss your sweetness, your nicknames, your warmth, your laughs, and your hugs. You made us a family. Know you were that to us. There was no better Hagrid. You made it a joy to be Hermoine.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tom Felton (@t22felton) × Tom Felton, who essayed the villainous Draco Malfoy in the movies, shared on Instagram, "One of my fondest memories of filming Harry Potter was a night shoot on the first film in the forbidden forest.
