"What started years ago as a flight of fancy deep in my imagination has evolved into the jet engine journey of a lifetime. Never in my wildest dreams could I have envisioned the worldwide outpouring of love and support for this story, its characters, and the team who work so hard to bring it all to life. That we will be able to reward the fans with the ending they deserve moves me to no end. On behalf of the cast, the crew, the writers, directors, and producers, thank you to Netflix, Warner Bros., and of course to the fans. You did this," said creator Rake in a statement. 
"Since its premiere on Netflix in June, Manifest has proven very popular with our members. Jeff Rake and his team have crafted a beguiling mystery that has viewers around the world on the edge of their seats and believing again in second chances, and we're thrilled that they will bring fans some closure with this final super-sized season," added Bela Bajaria, Netflix head of global TV, in a statement.&nbsp;

 
After NBC declined to renew the series for a fourth season, Rake started an online campaign while Warner Bros. TV tried to find a new home for the supernatural drama.&nbsp;

At the time, Netflix did not know that many of its subscribers would end up watching the season 1 and 2 re-runs. Hulu, in the meantime, has the rights to season 3.

 
In June, when the show was dropped by NBC, Rake had reportedly expressed his thoughts on his show's cancellation to an entertainment website. "I can't begin to describe how gratifying it is to experience this show finding a new audience. A lot of folks who are focused on broadcast forget sometimes that there are millions and millions of viewers out there who consume all of their entertainment on platforms like Netflix and Hulu. Manifest has an entirely new legion of fans developing as we speak. For me as the creator, for my producers, for the cast, it's incredibly rewarding to take this brand on a new lap with an entirely new community of fans. Is it confusing? Yes. How strange for a show to seemingly be at the end of its rope and then suddenly it's the No. 1 series on Netflix for, I think it's 20 days in a row. I was well on my way through the stages of grief to process the premature ending of the story. Now I am basking in the rebirth of the show."

The Italian media reported on Thursday that former pope Benedict XVI continues to suffer from serious health issues but his condition was currently stable. Pope Francis informed the public that Benedict was “very ill” and requested everyone to pray for him during his address on Wednesday.

The Vatican also confirmed the news regarding his health and said that it was mainly due to "due to advancing age". AFP further reported that the deterioration started around three days ago.

"It is his vital functions that are failing, including his heart," the source said, adding that no hospitalisation was planned, as he has the "necessary medical equipment" at home.

The ANSA news agency also quoted an unnamed source while providing update on his health.

"His situation has not changed from yesterday," the source said on Thursday.

Benedict succeeded John Paul II as the highest member in the Catholic Church in April 2005. However, in 2013, he became the first pope in almost six centuries to resign from his position due to health issues. He was living in a convent inside Vatican City for the last decade.

Benedict’s tenure as the pope was filled with controversies surrounding sexual abuse allegations against the clergy. He apologised to the victims of the cases and even visited a number of them.

"I have had great responsibilities in the Catholic Church. All the greater is my pain for the abuses and the errors that occurred in those different places during the time of my mandate," he wrote.

In the note, the rapper — who has remained relatively silent on social media since the release of his 2017 Pulitzer Prize-winning album 'Damn' — reflected on his career as a musician and dropped clues about his final TDE album.

The life in which my words will land next," he had written.

"It was a real gift to be pregnant during the pandemic. I felt really scrutinized during my first pregnancy and I think that it was such a joy to spend the last seven months of my pregnancy under the cover of just nobody was out, nobody was taking photos," Kaling was quoted as saying.

 
Kaling also talked about her daughter taking on the role of being a big sister.&nbsp;

 
"I think the sharing of the resources and the toys is a little bit hard for her, as it would be for anybody, but she's definitely coming around. I think it probably helps that her little brother just like adores her. All he wants to do is crawl up under her and be close to her," Kaling reportedly shared.&nbsp;

A month after reintroducing herself to the world as a transgender woman in Time magazine, Tommy posed for another cover shoot and talked about life since the revelation.

"My spirit was so attuned to whatever it means to be a woman. I've walked in the privilege of a male body, but (being a woman)&nbsp;is all I've known on the inside. It's a thing you recognize in other women in a weird way, and I've done it to other people, as well. It's kind of unexplainable — trans people are magic at the end of the day," Tommy reported said.

 
In terms of change, Tommy talks about how the 'switching of hormones' has helped her get on with her life. "I just switched my hormones, and I've never felt better in my life. I spent 28 years of my life suicidal and depressed and recovering from alcoholism and drug addiction. I don't think I've ever been genuinely happy until this past year. I look at the Internet chronicle of photos of me since I started working, and I can see how fucking unhappy I was in every photo. It's wild," she revealed.

Tommy felt 'really uncomfortable' and 'unhappy' in her skin before taking hormones. But, things started to change for her quickly. "It felt like I sank into the earth and was grounded. I can sleep now. I wake up moderately happy. I felt it hit, and I was like, 'Let's ride.' And as the testosterone leaves my body, I feel so much better. I'm more energized. I feel how I think I was always supposed to feel," she added.

 
Tommy had a parting piece of wisdom to share, especially for all those who he has inspired with his coming out journey. "You are divinely held. I have that tattooed on me — and for anyone who's struggling, it's a nice reminder," signed off Tommy Dorfman.

The creative liberties that David Lowery takes--in terms of historical revisionism--in his fantasy drama 'The Green Knight' is the kind of art that makes cinema a truly fascinating experience. Both as a visually exciting medium, and also in essence.&nbsp;

<img alt="A still from 'The Green Knight' starring Dev Patel" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="19363e2b-2b50-4882-8c60-ec94872e8f6b" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-08-22T092732.559_0.jpg" />

 
Sir Gawain (Dev Patel) is a whore-house-frequenting, liquor-chugging 'young' protagonist who's navigating life one reckless day at a time. “I am not ready yet!” he exclaims when asked to shoulder the responsibity of becoming a knight by King Arthur (Sean Harris).

 
In the opening shot a young Gawain is locked in embrace with a free-spirited Essel (Alicia Vikander), shattering the idea that the viewers are in for a long-drawn period drama. David Lowery is in it for the unseen, unheard version of how Sir Gawain has been perceived thus far. And yes, he succeeds.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-exclusive-dev-patel-%E2%80%98the-green-knight%E2%80%99-embodies-my-own-journey-in-hollywood-407372">Also read: 'Exclusive! Dev Patel: ‘The Green Knight’ embodies my own journey in Hollywood'</a>

 
On Christmas Eve--they are calling this chapter 'The Christmas Game'--an imposing rider (Ralph Ineson) with a protruding face and echoing voice, shows up at the entrance to the hall where the merrymaking happens, wanting to play a bloody game of his own making wherein Gawain must slit his throat and come back for another brawl a year later. To his Green Castle, hence the title.

 
'The Green Knight' is a fantasy within a fantasy world, weaved by the fantastical David Lowery. The namelessness of the crucial players in the movie, including the poet who had originally written this riddle of a poem, as folklores often go, renders a sense of intrigue to the drama and we are hooked! Instead of plucking a leaf out of a particular reading out of Gawain’s journey, this piece of work serves as a meditation on the quest for meaning, direction and the lessons life has to impart. All the while leaving the audience scratching their heads over reality and illusion--both captivating, both hypnotizing.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-exclusive-%E2%80%98the-green-knight%E2%80%99-%E2%80%98sex-and-the-city%E2%80%99-reboot-star-sarita-choudhury-the-film-world-and-%E2%80%98representation%E2%80%99-is-finally-catching-up-407583">Also read: 'Exclusive! ‘The Green Knight’, ‘Sex And The City’ reboot star Sarita Choudhury: The film world and ‘representation’ is finally catching up'</a>

 
The highlight of 'The Green Knight' is a sequence in which decades have gone by and an aging Gawain has now reduced himself into an unkind leader; oblivious to the charm of women. This bit reiterates the inevitability of life, age and death. In that order, through stunning videography and believable prosthetics.

<img alt="Sarita in an intense poster from her period drama 'The Green Knight'" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="14657f9a-82be-4e45-84da-65db77521c42" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-08-22T092207.872_0.jpg" />

 
Patel is a chameleon in this movie--swiftly juggling between youthful exuberance and stone-heartedness only a life lived far too long can teach a man. The butterfly in this cinematic beauty is, however, Oscar-winning British actor Alicia Vikander. "You will be my lady, and I will be your man," she declares, nonchalantly. Emancipation of women in medieval history? That's what the world needs more of! Sarita Choudhury, as the legend goes, is Gawain's 'witch' of a mother, Morgan le Fay. Her deep-set eyes, angular face and that deathly stare makes her the enchantress she sets out to be.&nbsp;

 
In 'The Green Knight', Dev Patel's Sir Gawain has a peculiar quality about him--that he wants to know how to live before living. Yes, it is but human to seek the un-seekable, desire the unachievable. Along the way, what do&nbsp;men gain&nbsp;and what have they&nbsp;lost? This film is an ode to that unquenchable thirst for internal fulfilment through external validation. After all, as King Arthur says, "Is it wrong to want greatness?"

Dev Patel: ‘The Green Knight’ embodies my own journey in Hollywood' On Christmas Eve--they are calling this chapter 'The Christmas Game'--an imposing rider (Ralph Ineson) with a protruding face and echoing voice, shows up at the entrance to the hall where the merrymaking happens, wanting to play a bloody game of his own making wherein Gawain must slit his throat and come back for another brawl a year later. To his Green Castle, hence the title. 'The Green Knight' is a fantasy within a fantasy world, weaved by the fantastical David Lowery. The namelessness of the crucial players in the movie, including the poet who had originally written this riddle of a poem, as folklores often go, renders a sense of intrigue to the drama and we are hooked! Instead of plucking a leaf out of a particular reading out of Gawain’s journey, this piece of work serves as a meditation on the quest for meaning, direction and the lessons life has to impart. All the while leaving the audience scratching their heads over reality and illusion--both captivating, both hypnotizing. Also read: 'Exclusive! ‘The Green Knight’, ‘Sex And The City’ reboot star Sarita Choudhury: The film world and ‘representation’ is finally catching up' The highlight of 'The Green Knight' is a sequence in which decades have gone by and an aging Gawain has now reduced himself into an unkind leader; oblivious to the charm of women. This bit reiterates the inevitability of life, age and death. In that order, through stunning videography and believable prosthetics. Patel is a chameleon in this movie--swiftly juggling between youthful exuberance and stone-heartedness only a life lived far too long can teach a man. The butterfly in this cinematic beauty is, however, Oscar-winning British actor Alicia Vikander. "You will be my lady, and I will be your man," she declares, nonchalantly. Emancipation of women in medieval history? That's what the world needs more of! Sarita Choudhury, as the legend goes, is Gawain's 'witch' of a mother, Morgan le Fay. Her deep-set eyes, angular face and that deathly stare makes her the enchantress she sets out to be. In 'The Green Knight', Dev Patel's Sir Gawain has a peculiar quality about him--that he wants to know how to live before living. Yes, it is but human to seek the un-seekable, desire the unachievable. Along the way, what do men gain and what have they lost? This film is an ode to that unquenchable thirst for internal fulfilment through external validation. After all, as King Arthur says, "Is it wrong to want greatness?"

The Green Knight review: Dev Patel stirs up the hornet's nest, emerges victorious

In court documents, filed in Los Angeles federal court, states that band members, record companies and creative personnel had 'trafficked' Elden's image for profit and he has 'continued to suffer lifelong damages as a result.'

 
He went on to add that his 'identity and legal name are forever tied to the commercial sexual exploitation he experienced as a minor which has been distributed and sold worldwide from the time he was a baby to the present day.'

Elden also stated in his complaint that 'defendants failed to take reasonable steps to protect [him] and prevent his widespread sexual exploitation and image trafficking.'

 
In the lawsuit, he mentioned that his parents had never given their release in writing for the photos, and were not paid, despite 2008 reports that photographer Kirk Weddle paid Elden's father Rich $200 for 15 seconds of work to appear in the snap, according to a news report.&nbsp;

 
The image in question was reportedly snapped in 1990 at the Pasadena Aquatic Center when he was four months old.

The famous album cover, which the late lead singer Kurt Cobain had picked out, shows a naked baby swimming underwater toward a dollar bill on a string.&nbsp;

 
Elden's legal team said in the suit that 'to ensure the album cover would trigger a visceral sexual response from the viewer, (photographer Kirk) Weddle activated Spencer’s "gag reflex" before throwing him underwater in poses highlighting and emphasizing Spencer’s exposed genitals.'

 
"As an essential element of a record promotion scheme commonly utilized in the music industry to get attention, wherein album covers posed children in a sexually provocative manner to gain notoriety, drive sales, and garner media attention, and critical reviews," read a part of the suit.

 
According to court documents, the band had promised that a sticker would be placed on the area of the baby's genitals, but didn't place it on the cover.&nbsp;

 
Elden is asking for $150,000 from each of 17 defendants named in the suit, which include Cobain's bandmates Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, the executor of Cobain’s estate, and the estate's managers Guy Oseary and Heather Parry.&nbsp;

 
Other names included in the lawsuit are of photographer Kirk Weddle; art director Robert Fisher and a number of record companies that released of distributed Nevermind in the past three decades.&nbsp;

 
Elden is also thought to be suing artwork photographer Kirk Weddle and designer Robert Fisher, and Nirvana’s drummer from 1988 to 1990, Chad Channing.&nbsp;

 
Since the cover was published, Elden has repeatedly recreated the image as both a teenager and an adult, but in many interviews has shared his mixed feelings about it.

 
In a 2016 interview with TIME to mark the album's 25th Anniversary, he had reportedly said, "It’s hard not to get upset when you hear how much money was involved."

Nirvana sued for child pornography by man who appeared in their famous 'Nevermind' cover

On Tuesday, Warner Bros. reportedly debuted a new look of the highly-anticipated movie, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-the-batman-robert-pattinsons-new-footage-look-shown-at-cinemacon-2021-408215">'The Batman'</a> as part of the studio's presentation at CinemaCon 2021.&nbsp;

 
While the footage has not been released to the public yet, reports from various global news websites include new interviews from star Robert Pattinson and director Matt Reeves.

 
The clips that were reportedly revealed at the event were behind-the-scenes glimpses and footage of Reeves and his cast talking about the film, which the director revealed was partially inspired by Frank Miller's 'Batman: Year One'.&nbsp;

"I felt that we've seen lots of origin stories. It seems things go further and further into fantasy, and I thought, well, one place we haven't been is grounding it in the way that Year One does, to come right in to a young Batman, not being an origin tale, but referring to his origins and shaking him to his core. You can have it be very practical, but I also thought it could be the most emotional Batman movie ever made," Reeves said in the featurette.

 
"For some reason, Batman has always stood out as one of the major characters of the 20th century, and so many people connect with it on such a deep level for so many different reasons," he explained in the clip. "From the first conversation I had with Matt about it, I just knew that there was something radically different (here)," said actor Robert Pattinson.

 
The Batman will see Pattinson approaching the caped-crusador's character in an entirely different way, and the actor will be backed by a supporting cast that includes Colin Farrell as The Penguin, Paul Dano as The Riddler, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Peter Sarsgaard as Gil Colson, Jayme Lawson as Bella Real, Barry Keoghan as Officer Stanley Merkel, and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth.

"It's just as important as any of the Rogues Gallery.

Although Grenier has appeared in a couple of TV films and voiced a recurring character for the Disney Channel's animated series 'Mission Force One', 'Clickbait' marks his first regular-role series in a live-action show since he wrapped his eight-season run as Vincent Chase on 'Entourage' in 2011.&nbsp;

 
"I'm project-focused, not necessarily quantity but quality. I'm always looking for the projects that are going to have a profound impact on people... the ways in which our most dangerous and uncontrolled impulses are fueled in the age of social media, revealing the ever-widening fractures we find between our virtual and real-life personas," he said, reportedly.

"It's a very curious series. At first blush, just on the surface, it's a thriller; it's a whodunnit. But really, the depth of it is exploring issues of identity, especially in the technology world. It's really very interesting exploring what it's like to be alive at a time of the internet, avatars, catfishing, all those things," Grenier went on to add.

 
After a script-reading session, Genier was hooked. "I took a look at it and I said, 'Yes, please'. And this was even before I knew how it was going to end. And so during the filming, I didn't even know who had done it. I was like, did I do it? Am I the guy? I feel like I'm the guy. But just keep in mind that in thrillers, the twists and turns aren't always what you expect. Wink, wink!" he concluded.&nbsp;

American singer Olivia Rodrigo has dropped her latest single 'Brutal' and fans are psyched about it!

 
On Monday, she had the help of a few famous pals to pull off her 'Brutal' music video. The singer dropped the Petra Collins-directed visual featuring models, actors, and dancers.

 
The energy of this video is elevated by some of the coolest celebrity cameos like that of Lukas Gage, Nico Hiraga, and fashion model Salem Mitchell.&nbsp;

 
The video follows the narrative set out in Rodrigo's previous collaboration with Collins, when they had collaborated on 'Good For You' earlier this year.&nbsp;

 
Frankly, the video exudes a 'messy' kind of teen charm and doesn't sit right with the vibe of 2021, we have, thankfully, Rodrigo's making a statement with a plethora of Gen Z celebrities to keep her company.&nbsp;

Questions about the well-being of American singer-songwriter Britney Spears' dogs have started to raise just days after the singer denied striking an employee who took them to the vet.

 
According to a global news website, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office recently said that the purported altercation happened on Monday before officers were called to the Spears residence after the employee claimed the 'Toxic' singer became violent during a disagreement.

 
The dispute reportedly stemmed from Spears taking umbrage over how one of her pup was treated. As per reports, Spears is yet to reunite with her dogs since they were taken to the vet.

 
Now, reports allege darker details about the dogs' health prior to the housekeeper's trip to get them checked out. According to sources, the report claims one of the canines suffers from digestive issues and both dogs were fed a specific type of food.

 
The housekeeper allegedly grew concerned when the dogs appeared to be dehydrated from a lack of water. The dogs had also been eating scraps of food from the table, insiders claimed.

 
Though there has been no comment from Spears' representatives regarding this, but her attorney had denied claims that she struck the housekeeper in a statement to Fox News earlier this week.

 
"This is nothing more than sensational tabloid fodder - an alleged misdemeanour involving a 'he said she said' regarding a cell phone, with no striking and obviously no injury whatsoever. Anyone can make an accusation. This should have been closed immediately," the statement read.

 
"The Sherriff's office itself has said the incident was classified as a 'very minor misdemeanour...' and said 'there were no injuries,'" her attorney has reportedly added.

 
Meanwhile, sources have claimed that Spears confronted her housekeeper when they returned, and it was then that the alleged incident happened between the two.

 
The sheriff's department said it is still investigating and the district attorney's office will determine whether Spears will be brought up on a misdemeanour battery charge. Spears' team is adamant the claims are fabricated, according to a news site.

 
Last week, Spears' father, Jamie Spears, had agreed to step down as her estate conservator once a proper plan was put in action. The two have been locked in a court battle over the past few years as the singer wants to get her life back.

Singer-performer Selena Gomez says she has no plans to quit making her own music. She had earlier hinted at retiring from music to focus more on her acting and producing work.

 
However, that seems to have changed. "I don't think I'll ever quit making music. I'm not saying I want a Grammy. I just feel like I'm doing the best I can, and it's all about me. Sometimes, that can really get to me," Selena was quoted as saying.

 
Also, Gomez released her first Spanish language record in 2021 and said that it was a 'challenge', reported a global news site.

 
"It was a challenge. I think speaking in Spanish is a lot easier than singing. I made sure that I didn't look like a fool. I focused so hard on making sure that the language I was speaking, and the way I was speaking it, was authentic," she told a magazine.

 
Gomez went on to add, "I wanted it to exude love - to talk about pain, but in a way that was confident. There is a song about girls saying goodbye to things that aren't good for us."

 
Earlier this year, Selena Gomez had said that she was considering retiring from music as she didn't feel like she was being taken seriously.

American rapper Kendrick Lamar is producing his final album with music label Top Dawg Entertainment.&nbsp; 
In a cryptic post shared to his social media accounts.

 
On August 20, in a cryptic post shared on social media, Lamar linked to a folder titled 'nu thoughts', directing readers to a letter he has shared on a website called oklama.com. In the note, the rapper — who has remained relatively silent on social media since the release of his 2017 Pulitzer Prize-winning album 'Damn' — reflected on his career as a musician and dropped clues about his final TDE album. Here's what we know about Lamar's fifth album so far. 
In a letter meant for fans, while reflecting on his time as an artiste and the impact he's had on pop culture, Lamar indicated that his fifth album will be a reflection of his personal ups and downs in the last 17 years in the music business.

 
&nbsp;"I spend most of my days with fleeting thoughts. Writing. Listening. And collecting old Beach cruisers. The morning rides keep me on a hill of silence. I go months without a phone. Love, loss, and grief have disturbed my comfort zone, but the glimmers of God speak through my music and family. While the world around me evolves, I reflect on what matters the most. The life in which my words will land next," he wrote.

 
Expressing gratitude for the last two decades, Lamar said that the future is uncertain but he would like to continue with his true calling in life. "As I produce my final TDE album, I feel joy to have been a part of such a cultural imprint after 17 years. The Struggles. The Success. And most importantly, the Brotherhood. May the Most High continue to use Top Dawg as a vessel for candid creators. As I continue to pursue my life's calling. There's beauty in completion. And always faith in the unknown. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts. I've prayed for you all. See you soon enough. — oklama," Lamar wrote.

 
While the celebrated rapper did not mention whether this is his last album ever, it is definitely his final album with Top Dawg Entertainment, indicating than any future releases would be shared under a new label, if at all. 
Towards the end, Lamar declared that he would see us all 'soon enough' but did not specify a release date for his new album or even the name of it.&nbsp;

“There were all these lists of who's the favourite character on the show or who was the best-looking character, and I was always the ugliest, the least attractive,” Dev Patel, BAFTA-winning actor (for ‘Lion’) said in a recent interview.

“There were all these lists of who's the favourite character on the show or who was the best-looking character, and I was always the ugliest, the least attractive,” Dev Patel, BAFTA-winning actor (for ‘Lion’) said in a recent interview. However—now basking in the glory of his critically acclaimed film ‘The Green Knight’, set to release in India on August 27—those days of judgement over his looks seem to be a thing of the past. And he agrees, hopefully. In an exclusive interview with WION, the British actor talks about losing himself in the process of getting the nuances of Sir Gawain—his character in ‘The Green Knight’—right, how director David Lowery’s vision was of paramount importance to the script and he ‘trusted’ it completely, and why there’s a little bit of him in this modern retelling of Sir Gawain’s story. Excerpts from the interview: ‘I could draw a lot of parallels with my journey in this industry; being ambitious and trying to balance my life’ For Patel, preparing for the role meant letting David Lowery (‘The Old Man & the Gun’, ‘A Ghost Story’) take charge of how he would portray Sir Gawain on screen, and he went with it with utmost faith. “For me in a way, that was really David's process you mine was a process of real submission and trust in him as a as the visionary that he is. But you could see what the way he was approaching the sets and the costumes that kind of like was cranked ever so slightly differently, you know, so there was a familiarity to the world, but also, it kind of had a kind of slightly more modern composition to the way he was capturing this stuff, and how we were able to move and talk and there was a looseness to it, that I was like, Wow, this is awesome!” Dev Patel tells us. “You know, I split it, particularly for me in the way I was kind of talking, I was kind of throwing it away, like I would in a very modern piece I wasn't, you know, putting as much weight on the words. And I asked what I spoke to him about, it's like, how should we do this? How do I do and he's like, no, we're just kind of trying to exist and bring as much truth as possible. And it's a testament to him, he's kind of managed to strike this balance, I think a lot of story and tales around this era, they focus on the clashing of swords, or whatever that is, you know, but this is focusing on the more psychological journey aspects of the story. In a way, it's, it's far more complex in it, and it really does more justice to the complexities of this poem, and kind of the questioning of fate and ambition and the chivalry code of the time. You know, particularly for me, as a young actor, you know, I could draw a lot of parallels with my, you know, my journey in this industry, and, you know, being ambitious and trying to balance my life and, and, you know, the ego and masculinity, all of that stuff, you know, I could see all the threads in,” says the actor about his part in getting the nuances of his character right. With a 7.5 IMDb rating and 88 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, Dev Patel seems to have gotten it right. ‘I was trembling on my horse, I was cold and wet and damp; it was a physical process’ Dev Patel’s penchant for perfection is palpable, and, ‘The Green Knight’ would give us a glimpse of that, again. When asked if the horses, weaponry and the overall feel on the set contributed to his performance, Patel was quick to add, “Completely! I mean, they extends we went to, you know, David, you know, we have the entire crew trudging in valleys, through streams and rivers, and when making provides police systems to get camera equipment up, and like, you know, just to get the shot, but it really, I said, every frame is a painting in this film, you look at it, and it's just like, there was never a moment where I was, I didn't even have a great scene partner and you know, Joel (Edgerton), and all the rest of the team or you're just in this costume, and it makes you sit differently stand differently.” But, the British actor—all of 31 now—sees certain facets of his persona, his own journey as a young man in Hollywood, in David Lowery’s ‘The Green Knight’. He shares with WION, before wrapping up. “A lot of this is about a young man romanticizing this knightly quest, and then all of a sudden, very quickly realizing how brutal nature can be and how humbling he gets humbled by it, his ego at the start of the film is totally bashed from him very quickly. And I felt that I was trembling you know, on my horse, I was cold and wet and damp and it was a physical process and you know, David's films really explored time in a beautiful way. And as a performer you know, you rarely get to feel time you know, in scenes because it you know, there's a exposition and there's an editor's hands that really comes in but and this was the way we shot this that David kind of sits and lets the scene really play out sometimes, you know, really just puts you in a spot and like, Is that okay? Now you try and get out of the situation. Your hands and legs are tight.”
