Richard Evans, 'Dirty Little Billy' star, dies at 86

<p>Rebecca Lucy Taylor — better known as Self Esteem — was onstage at a club here last Friday, performing “I’m Fine,” a pop song with a pounding beat about a sexual assault. The track includes a recording of a woman describing how she barks like a dog when approached by groups of men on the street: “There is nothing that terrifies a man more than a woman that appears completely deranged.” As strings soared, Taylor and her band started barking and howling along. Several women in the audience joined in.</p>

<p><br />
It was a moment that captured both the irreverence and sincerity of Self Esteem, a budding British pop star, whose second album, “Prioritise Pleasure,” is building her a fan base who say they feel seen by her music.</p>

<p><br />
For more than 15 years, Taylor, 35, has been working away in Britain’s music scene, first in the indie band Slow Club, which she said she left after years of finding her ideas stifled, then as Self Esteem, a name that “just accidentally become the exact thing I needed,” she said in an interview at an east London bar a week before the concert.</p>

<p><br />
Slow Club toured internationally and had a cult fan base, but “Prioritise Pleasure” is bringing her much broader attention: magazine covers, TV performances and an onslaught of fans testifying on social media about how transformative they find her music. A number of particularly loyal ones have even been getting Self Esteem tattoos.<br />
“I have felt very alone most of my life, like ‘What is wrong with me?’ ” Taylor said, pointing to expectations for women to settle down and have children. Her recent success “makes me feel this overwhelming relief that I’m not a total weirdo.”</p>

<p><br />
If Taylor has a manifesto behind “Prioritise Pleasure,” it’s encouraging people to put themselves first without denying that they can also make mistakes. The “pleasure” mentioned in the album’s title can take many forms, she said, including what she was looking forward to doing that evening: going home, ordering take out and watching “Succession.”</p>

<p><br />
Self Esteem’s rise comes at a time when new attention is being paid to violence against women in Britain following the deaths of Sarah Everard, who was kidnapped and murdered by a police officer while walking home in March, and Sabina Nessa, who was killed while walking through a park in September. This month, there have been reports of women being injected with syringes at nightclubs, a variation of “spiking,” when drugs are dropped into someone’s drink.</p>

<p><br />
Jude Rogers, a music journalist who has written about “Prioritise Pleasure,” said Self Esteem’s music feels right for the moment. “We needed a woman to appear who was going to say, ‘Enough,’ ” Rogers said. Self Esteem is “expressing all the messiness, all the frustration and all the anger of being a woman,” in ambitious pop music, she added.</p>

<p><br />
Taylor said she’s been concerned about her safety since she was a teenager, “which I guess is like the zeitgeist now.” She started writing the album in 2019, and decided to process a sexual assault she had survived through her music. “As someone who lives very free, I like to be sexual, I like to do what I want,” she said. “But suddenly it was taken from me and I had a decision to never enjoy myself in that way again, to never be the person I like to be, or turn it all into defiant euphoria.”</p>

<p><br />
The end of a toxic relationship also informed the album, but the record has a strong thread of empowerment, which Taylor said was a result of more positive experiences. “I finally hit this beautiful cross section of I’m older, the therapy’s kicked in a bit, and I care less,” she said. While making the record, she stopped worrying about other people’s expectations of her and her career.</p>

<p><br />
All those changes led Taylor to write songs like “I Do This All The Time,” a largely spoken word track in which she lists her struggles, including everyday anxieties (“Old habits die for a couple of weeks, and then I start doing them again”) and sexist comments from old tour managers (“All you need to do, darling, is fit into that little dress of yours”).</p>

<p><br />
Johan Karlberg, a member of the group the Very Best who produced “Prioritise Pleasure,” believes Self Esteem’s success is less about the current cultural climate in Britain and more a response to Taylor’s great songs and her “brute honesty.”</p>

<p><br />
“People like to say they’re being honest in their songs and interviews, but really they very rarely are,” he said. “Rebecca is in everything, and people relate to that.”</p>

<p><br />
At her London concert last week, the relating was nearly deafening, as fans shouted along with their favorite lines (“Sexting you at the mental health club seems counterproductive” was particularly loud).<br />
<br />
One fan, Cat Carrigan, 30, said she’s drawn to a danceable Self Esteem track called “Moody” that’s both a tale of a relationship collapsing and an attempt to reclaim a common insult used against woman. “I’ve been called a moody cow many times in my life,” Carrigan said. “It’s not going to affect me anymore.”</p>

<p><br />
But Rubie Street, 29, said there something else that’s made her a fan. The songs “are banging tunes, aren’t they?” she said. “That always helps.”</p>

Celebrity friends of Peter Scolari are paying tribute to the late actor after he died following a two-year long battle with cancer. On Friday, Scolari breathed his last aged 66.

Celebrity friends of Peter Scolari are paying tribute to the late actor after he died following a two-year long battle with cancer. On Friday, Scolari breathed his last aged 66. Bob Newhart, who co-starred with Scolari on 'Newhart' from 1984 to 1990, was one of the many who shared interesting anecdotes from their time together. "I knew that Peter was sick, but his death still comes as a great shock. We were friends and colleagues for over 40 years. Julia and Peter, as a vacuous couple (Michael and Stephanie), were an essential part of the success of Newhart. In life, he was a fantastic person, and it was a joy to work together. He will be sorely missed and his passing at 66 is much too early," he was quoted as saying by a news website.

RIP, kind sir… pic.twitter.com/fIWD0JJDyo — Kelly AuCoin (@KellyAuCoin77) October 22, 2021 × Peter Scolari was kind enough to appear in our Bosom Buddies episode of The Greatest Event in TV History, and of course couldn’t have been cooler and more generous with his time. I was honored to borrow his role of Henry, even for just a minute. https://t.co/zmPXo0tD34 — Adam Scott (@mradamscott) October 22, 2021 × What a wonderful actor he was! So sad to hear of the loss of the versatile Peter Scolari. I never had the chance to work with him, but I'm grateful for a lifetime of his brilliant performances. #GoneTooSoon 💔 pic.twitter.com/YSia6KO5a9 — Mark Hamill (Mar🐫) (@HamillHimself) October 22, 2021 × View this post on Instagram A post shared by theandrewrannells (@andrewrannells) ×

Peter Scolari: Lena Dunham, Bob Newhart and others pay tribute

<p>Jay Ellis was buying snacks at a corner bodega in Harlem when a woman in a crop top and Ray-Bans approached him. “Oh, my God, I’m so happy!” she said.</p>

<p><br />
This was on a sticky Monday in September, halfway through a walking tour of Harlem, where Ellis had lived, on and off, in the mid-2000s, when he was a model trying to break into acting. After years of sporadic work, he landed a starring role on BET’s “The Game,” a comedy-drama set in the world of professional football, then was booked as the romantic lead on the HBO comedy “Insecure,” playing Lawrence, the boyfriend of series creator Issa Rae’s Issa.</p>

<p><br />
At the end of the show’s first season, Issa cheats on Lawrence. Lawrence retaliates by dangling the promise of a reunion, then bedding a co-worker. Which means that attitudes toward the character — and Ellis — are pretty divisive. (“Insecure” returns for a fifth and final season Sunday.)</p>

<p><br />
“I’m not a fan of yours,” the woman in the bodega clarified. “That payback wasn’t right. Nonetheless, you’re a great actor.”</p>

<p><br />
Ellis, 39, favored her with his Sunday morning smile, then left with his water and unsalted cashews.<br />
A skyscraper of a man with dizzying charisma, Ellis, 6-foot-3, had overdressed for the day in jeans, a Comme des Garçons striped shirt, a slate jacket and sneakers the blinding white of new veneers. He met the tour guide, Neal Shoemaker, at the offices of Harlem Heritage Tours on Malcolm X Boulevard. Together they set off for a shambolic stroll through the neighborhood.</p>

<p><br />
“You may meet my mom any minute now,” Shoemaker said as he led Ellis onto the basketball court at the center of Martin Luther King Jr. Towers. Fourteen floors up, Shoemaker’s aunt waved furiously from a window. Shoemaker shouted up to her, teasingly introducing Ellis as her “new nephew.”</p>

<p><br />
Next, they walked through the African market near West 116th Street and past the Masjid Malcolm Shabazz, where incense clouded the late-summer air and a nearby cafe advertised male enhancements and veggie burgers. Ellis had barely been back in 15 years. The burned-out brownstones had been renovated, he noted. And the police presence seemed lighter.</p>

<p><br />
The tour continued past Minton’s Playhouse and alongside Marcus Garvey Park, the site of the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival that was chronicled in the documentary “Summer of Soul,” which Ellis had just seen. He stopped outside the house where Maya Angelou once lived, admiring the ivy that tumbled from the lintel.</p>

<p><br />
Throughout the walk, fans stopped Ellis for greetings and pictures — “Take it with me, not of me,” Ellis said to an excitable middle-aged woman who had halted her car just to snap him. Friends and relatives stopped Shoemaker, too, and Ellis, who lives in Los Angeles with his wife and baby daughter, seemed a little jealous of the humming street life.</p>

<p><br />
“It’s the music mecca for Black culture,” Ellis said. “It’s the style mecca. Religiously, it’s a mecca. I come here, and I’m like, ‘Why am I living in LA?’”</p>

<p><br />
Ellis, the only child of an Air Force family, moved to Los Angeles just after his Harlem years. He briefly gave up on acting, then recommitted. A plucky hustle — he pretended that a casting agent had recommended him — hooked him a decent manager, and after a couple of years of acting classes, he began to book roles.</p>

<p><br />
None has meant as much to him as Lawrence, a character who struggles with the obligations of Black masculinity. Lawrence wasn’t supposed to make it past Season 1, but something about Ellis’ layered portrayal made him a fan favorite. And a least favorite.</p>

<p><br />
“I always say that if people are mad at me, if people are happy with me, if they’re sad or whatever, then I did my job,” he said. “Even if you hate Lawrence, I did my job because you felt something. I hope you love him because I love him. But I get it if you don’t.”</p>

<p><br />
Are Lawrence and Issa endgame? Ellis knew better than to comment. “I want both of them to be happy,” he said diplomatically. “I hope that it’s with each other.”</p>

<p><br />
He has already begun his post-“Insecure” career, with a starring role in “Top Gun: Maverick,” due out next year. (His character’s nickname? Payback.) He recently signed onto a romantic comedy, “Somebody I Used to Know,” and is the co-creator of the podcast “Written Off,” which features the work of formerly incarcerated authors.</p>

<p><br />
Ellis followed Shoemaker past Dapper Dan’s atelier, into the Harlem Haberdashery and cater-corner to Harlem Shake, where Ellis would return for a post-walk burger. On 125th Street, he stopped to read the text on a monument to the politician and civil rights leader Adam Clayton Powell Jr.</p>

<p><br />
The tour ended at the Apollo Theater, “where stars are born, legends are made,” Shoemaker said. Ellis is already a star, but he still fantasizes about appearing in one of its amateur nights. Would he sing? Tell a joke?</p>

<p><br />
“All of it,” Ellis said, flashing that slow-dance smile. “I’d do it all.”</p>

<p><br />
Shoemaker pointed to an unoccupied rectangle on the Apollo’s Walk of Fame, next to Lionel Richie. “I can see Jay Ellis right there,” he said.</p>

<p><br />
Ellis posed for a photo with a fan or two, including a teenager who recognized him from the thriller “Escape Room.” Then he and Shoemaker said a friendly goodbye.</p>

<p><br />
“Appreciate you, chief,” Ellis called as he headed back down 125th Street. “Tell your mama I’m coming, I’m hungry.”</p>

Jay Ellis comes home to Harlem

<p>Remember that thing W.C. Fields said about never working with children and animals, lest they steal the show? Jack Whitehall isn’t worried, even if that animal is so massive that its size alone fills up the screen.</p>

<p><br />
In “Clifford the Big Red Dog,” Whitehall plays the irresponsible Uncle Casey of Emily Elizabeth (Darby Camp), a bullied sixth grader who pours her love into a bright red puppy, causing it to grow in proportion to the size of her heart. This meant that Whitehall found himself emoting opposite a 10-foot animatronic canine operated by two puppeteers — sometimes inside the dog, sometimes just holding up its rather disconcertingly dismembered head.</p>

<p><br />
A challenge, sure, but he’d had some experience. Whitehall shot “Clifford” (in theaters and on Paramount+ on Nov. 10) shortly after wrapping Disney’s “Jungle Cruise,” where one of his scene partners was a stunt person on all fours in a spotted leotard standing in for Proxima the jaguar.</p>

<p><br />
“I feel like now I’m probably the go-to guy if you want someone to act opposite a CGI animal,” he said. In a call from London, Whitehall shared the things he enjoys when not wrangling a menagerie — a bespoke suit, a meal at the Wolseley — and why when he’s home, he reminds himself to look up. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.</p>

<p><br />
1. The BBC. The joy and the beauty of the BBC is that it provides this incredible service for so many different people. It has something for everyone. It’s such an incredible institution, and it’s always under attack as well, which makes me even more kind of virulent in my defense of it. And it’s got the best news output of any platform in the world. Especially when I come to America, I realize how much I cherish the ability to have this impartial news.</p>

<p><br />
2. Glastonbury Festival. It’s one of my favorite places on the planet. I think it’s the seminal festival experience, and I love that it doesn’t feel that commercial or cynical. There’s a great charitable element running through it. I will always endeavor, no matter where I am in the world, to get back for Glastonbury. Even when I was filming “Clifford,” I managed to somehow wangle my way into getting onto a flight and going back for three days of Glastonbury, and I was just floating. I was ecstatic before, during and after.<br />
3. Bob Newhart’s The Driving Instructor.” This was a recording that my dad played for me when I was younger. It’s so funny, and it also has an added resonance for me because I can’t drive and have had several driving instructors who I think have been pushed into a similar predicament as Bob Newhart’s character in that comedy sketch.</p>

<p><br />
4. Looking up in London. That was a piece of advice I think in an interview I’d seen with Donald Sinden, the actor. He said that when walking through London, people never look up. London has this incredible architecture, but people are always looking down, looking at each other, looking at shop fronts. The thing about London is that you can have a launderette and then look above it, and it’s got this beautiful Regency architecture. But you’ve never really noticed it because we all live our lives at eye level.</p>

<p><br />
5. A Thom Sweeney tailored suit. I love Savile Row. I love wearing a well-cut suit, and I love the kind of fine tailoring that they do exquisitely well. I love going into one of their stores and getting a drink plenty strong in a short glass. Then there’s the sort of theater of it all — and having the suit fitted, and going back in a couple of times and discussing it, taking out the fabrics. I just love the whole ritual of it.</p>

<p><br />
6. Alan Bennett plays. The first time I ever performed comedy onstage was when I put on my own production of “Habeas Corpus” at school with all of my friends. But “The History Boys” is probably the play that I’ve seen the most times. I remember the first time that I watched it — being utterly captivated and amazed that this was an experience that you could have in a theater. Richard Griffiths (who played Douglas Hector, the teacher) was a very important part of my life. He was my godfather. He was my hero. He was part of the reason I ended up becoming a performer.</p>

<p><br />
7. The film scores of John Williams. I have this weird thing where I work out to film scores. When I go to the gym or go for a jog, I find myself slightly tailoring my workouts to the various songs that I’m listening to: speeding up in rhythm to the music from “Jurassic Park” and maybe slightly aping the gait of a dinosaur; getting overexcited when “E.T.” comes on and wanting to lift off as the music crescendos; and then suddenly “Schindler’s List” comes on, and I feel like I need to slow down as a sign of deference.</p>

<p><br />
8. Corbin &amp;amp; King restaurants. Jeremy King and Chris Corbin are like the doyens of the industry in London when it comes to restaurateurs. They started up the legendary Ivy and the Caprice, and then sold those. Then they’ve had this second generation — the Wolseley, the Delaunay and the Colbert — and they’re fantastic. The cuisine in our country has been a little maligned over the years, but I think they are the bench mark of hospitality. The Wolseley is the restaurant that I could eat in for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the rest of my life and be content.</p>

<p><br />
9. Off Menu podcast. It’s such a brilliant premise. It’s these two fantastic comedians, James Acaster and Ed Gamble, walking through a different guest each week and their dream menu. It has such great, beautiful, eccentric British humor. I love food. I love eating out. I obsess about my dream menu quite a lot. And so it’s such a good podcast to me because I get to hear other people do just that.</p>

<p><br />
10. Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It’s where I first saw live stand-up and fell in love with it and realized that that was something that you could do for a living. I went up there every August for several years, and whenever it’s August, I always have this pang of regret that I’m not at the festival. Every comedian I love started there — John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, Richard Curtis. The only problem is, whenever you go back to Edinburgh and it’s not the festival, it’s never quite as exciting.</p>

<p>Britney Spears shares her two sons--Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15--with ex-husband Kevin Federline.</p>

<p>The singer is usually private about her life with her children but she does share updates with her fans on special occasions. In September, Britney spoke about her boys once again.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
"My boys' birthdays were last week … and unfortunately they are growing up and want to do their own things .... I have to ask their permission to post them because they are extremely independent little men," Spears wrote.</p>

'Rust' shooting: Halyna Hutchins' husband on her tragic death: Our loss is enormous

<p>He has these vivid dreams, then there’s the Voice (inherited from his Bene Gesserit mother Lady Jessica/ played by Rebecca Ferguson). But, is he— Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet)—The One who will rise above one and all, and cross the gates of heaven along with his tribe?&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
This one-of-two-part film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi novel by the same name partially answers that question.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Visuals so stunning!" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f43bb0ca-7656-4ec5-9ad8-4e302a2ba8e5" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-10-23T151820.694.jpg" /><br />
In a parallel universe, far ahead of our times, the noble House Atreides and its ruler Duke Leto Atreides I (Oscar Isaac) are off to the desert land of Arrakis, where a certain spice grows exclusively and they must source it for survival. However, this uprooting of the House and relocation is the Emperor’s command and obeying it means putting everyone in harm’s way: that being the House of Harkonnen and its treacherous techniques of snatching dominance.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Watching this visually exciting sci-fi flick felt like going back to learning the basics—through simple, coherent language Denis Villeneuve explains a rather complex Utopian premise. So, we have the interstellar called the Imperium that is inhabited by various Houses. Team A comprises the noble House of&nbsp;Atreides (led by a brooding Oscar Isaac) and Team B, of the evil presence of Harkonnens. Team C is led by Javier Bardem’s cameo-presence Stilgar. The story may have a futuristic spin to it, but, at its core, speaks volumes of man’s insatiable hunger for power and the levels of indignity it stoops down to for territorial victories.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="The desert sequence in 'Dune' is marvelous" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="cf67c74d-b910-453f-897e-cc4c1c26782c" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-10-23T151940.722.jpg" /><br />
Quite evidently, in ‘Dune’, Villeneuve marries his innovative cutting edge technological ambitions with human endeavors that are universal and transcend space and time. Go beyond what’s on the periphery and the idea that this sci-fi is no less than a mirror image of society, quickly sets in. There’s war in the name of colonisation, future conflicts being conspired in the name of religion and authority, the instinct to survive against all odds—harsh desert conditions, coupled with lack of water and the scorching heat, serve as metaphors—and the mutilation of nature in the hands of us, mere mortals.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
The enormous and oh-so-very-convincing props and the overall set up is amped up with Hans Zimmer's drama-heightening BGM (background score).&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="xkjasmcldscsaxACDD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f6e1617c-9d2a-4b2d-a45e-b9096aedc296" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-10-23T152035.416.jpg" /><br />
Frank Herbert’s Paul was about 15—give or take—in the book, and Timothée Chalamet, though in his early 20s, glides into his shoes with much ease, and complete conviction. As a young man torn between his father’s vision of his future and his innate desire to take risks, Chalamet maintains a restrained demeanour throughout. In one scene, just one, you see Paul’s pent-up frustration on his parents’ combined projection of their aspirations onto him trickle over. He screams—possibly looking for an outlet for all that his teenage mind cannot fathom—and retreat soon after. That’s the highlight of Chalamet’s presence in ‘Dune’. Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin and Jason Momoa are hard hitting in their respective parts—all akin, all agitated. Zendaya, more of a dream within a dream persona, is a lingering presence in her special guest-esque role.</p>

<p><br />
There are few films that strike the perfect balance between grandeur and spectacular storytelling; one’s invariably put in the back burner. ‘Dune’, however, will go down in history for its visual mastery and methodical recital.&nbsp;</p>

Dune review: A visual masterpiece on life, culture far ahead of our times

<p>Six former soldiers who are walking from Wales to London in a trek organised by the Walking with the Wounded charity (a substitute for their original plan of walking across the Omani desert in the Middle East that was spoiled due to the pandemic), were pleasantly surprised to receive a phone call from Prince Harry himself.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The soldiers received a call on Thursday from the Duke of Sussex, who serves as expedition patron for Walking with the Wounded: the organisation they are doing the good deed for.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Guys just remember, you have got to hold on to this moment, you have got to hold on to this feeling," Prince Harry, who has served in the British military for 10 years, reportedly told the veterans.</p>

<p>"Because it doesn’t matter where you walk, or what you are doing. When inevitably we all end up feeling down, a little bit dark, in the weeks, months and years to come, you will remember back to this. Lean on this experience to pick yourselves up," he added.</p>

<p>"So it was great this evening to receive a phone call from Prince Harry, and the most touching point is that he really is one of us. He is a veteran, he understands where we are, what the veteran community experience is as well as the serving community," he said.</p>

<p>Prince Harry has joined a group of veterans for a 17-mile walk during a 1,000-mile Walk of Britain in 2015, and has also participated in the organization’s expeditions to the North Pole in 2011 and South Pole in 2013, reports claim.&nbsp;</p>

Prince Harry has joined a group of veterans for a 17-mile walk during a 1,000-mile Walk of Britain in 2015, and has also participated in the organization’s expeditions to the North Pole in 2011 and South Pole in 2013, reports claim.

Prince Harry's surprise phone call to military veterans amid expedition goes viral

<p>In the wake of the unfortunate prop gun shooting accident on the set of Alec Baldwin's film 'Rust' that led to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, the American Film Institute (AFI) has set up a scholarship for women cinematographers.</p>

<p>According to reports, AFI is now accepting donations for the fund, which "aims to help female cinematographers build sustainable careers in the movie business."</p>

<p>Director and writer Olia Oparina, who calls Hutchins 'her closest friend' and worked with Hutchins on the 2017 film 'Snowbound', said in her statement to Variety, "From the moment I sat down next to Halyna in UCLA extension’s film directing class, I knew we would be best friends."</p>

<p>"We moved to Hollywood 11 years ago — two first generation immigrants from Ukraine and Russia who didn’t know a single soul in the movie business. Instead of asking others for a seat at their table, we decided to build our own. As we worked on finishing our master’s degrees, we began to find ‘our tribe’: a group of writers, producers and crew members that became our surrogate family. Together, we shot many projects — some of them short films, others feature-length films. No matter the scale of the project, Halyna always brought her passion and craftsmanship to each and every single one of them. Her clear vision and unique voice set her apart from all other cinematographers, as did her unquenchable thirst for cinematic knowledge. She was an inspiration and role model to anyone who had the fortune to work with her," she said.</p>

<p>"Throughout her career, she was an advocate for female DP’s and directors, familiar with the struggles women face in the entertainment industry. After overcoming many hurdles, Halyna began to get offers on big-budget films like ‘Archenemy’ and ‘Blindfire,’ features she was proud to lend her vision to. Her passing is a tragedy, not only for her family and friends, but also for the world of film she so loved, which has been forever deprived of her great talent," she added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For the unversed, Halyna Hutchins was in New Mexico shooting 'Rust'--a Western starring Alec Baldwin--when she was shot by a prop gun that contained a live round of ammunition and died at the age of 42.</p>

<p><br />
As per reports, the Ukraine-born Hutchins graduated from UCLA’s Professional Producing programme in 2010 before graduating from AFI Conservatory.</p>

Priyanka Chopra Jonas reacts to Alec Baldwin shooting accident: I'm so shook

<p>When composer Hans Zimmer was approached to score “Dune,” the new movie adaptation of Frank Herbert’s epic sci-fi novel, he knew one thing absolutely: It would not sound like “Star Wars.” Musically, those films drew on influences that ranged from Holst and Stravinsky to classic movie scores of the ’30s and ’40s. Even the rollicking tune performed by the bug-eyed creatures in the Cantina was inspired by Benny Goodman.</p>

<p><br />
For “Dune,” by contrast, Zimmer wanted to conjure sounds that nobody had ever heard before.<br />
“I felt like there was a freedom to get away from a Western orchestra,” he said recently, speaking in the Warner Bros. offices overlooking Hudson Yards in Manhattan. “I can spend days making up sounds.”</p>

<p><br />
The resulting soundtrack might be one of Zimmer’s most unorthodox and most provocative. Along with synthesizers, you can hear scraping metal, Indian bamboo flutes, Irish whistles, a juddering drum phrase that Zimmer calls an “anti-groove,” seismic rumbles of distorted guitar, a war horn that is actually a cello and singing that defies Western musical notation — just to name a few of its disparate elements.</p>

<p><br />
The score combines the gigantic, chest-thumping sound of Zimmer’s best-known work of the past decade with the spirit of radical sonic experimentation. The weirdness is entirely befitting the saga of a futuristic, intergalactic civilization whose denizens are stalked by giant sandworms and revere a hallucinogenic substance called spice.</p>

<p><br />
No hallucinogens were imbibed as part of the composing process, though.</p>

<p><br />
“Weirdly, I’m the only rock ’n’ roller who never did any drugs,” said Zimmer, who has a wide, boyish grin that belies his 64 years, particularly when discussing his more outrageous musical endeavors.</p>

<p><br />
Some time after his stint with the band the Buggles, the German-born, California-based composer made his name with scores for “Rain Man,” “The Lion King” and “The Thin Red Line.” More recently, he scored the latest Bond outing, “No Time to Die.” But to many, he is perhaps best known for his work on Christopher Nolan movies, including “Interstellar,” “Inception” and his Batman series.</p>

<p><br />
In fact, Zimmer turned down an offer to work on Nolan’s last film, “Tenet,” to focus his energies on “Dune.” In a way, Zimmer said, he has been working on this soundtrack ever since he first read the novel as a teenager.</p>

<p><br />
“I’ve been thinking about ‘Dune’ for nearly 50 years," he said. "So I took it very seriously.”</p>

<p><br />
He avoided seeing the 1984 movie adaptation — directed by David Lynch and featuring music by Toto — to preserve the vision of the movie in his head.</p>

<p><br />
As part of his creative process, Zimmer spent a week in Utah tuning in to the sound of the desert.<br />
“I wanted to hear the wind howling,” he said.</p>

<p><br />
Zimmer’s score is so prominent in “Dune” that at times the movie feels like an otherworldly equivalent of a “Planet Earth”-style nature spectacular.</p>

<p><br />
“‘Dune’ is by far my most musical film,” said director Denis Villeneuve, who also hired Zimmer for “Blade Runner 2049.” “The score is almost ubiquitous, participating directly in the narrative of the film. It’s spiritual.”</p>

<p><br />
In fact, Zimmer wrote more music than could fit in the film. In addition to the original soundtrack, there’s “The Dune Sketchbook (Music From the Soundtrack),” comprising extended sonic explorations, and “The Art and Soul of Dune,” a companion soundtrack to the book of the same title that goes behind the scenes of the film. (There’s still more written for the hoped-for sequel.)</p>

<p><br />
It’s Zimmer’s name in the credits and on the soundtrack releases, but he prefers to think of himself as a member of an unusual band that includes a select group of composer-collaborators: “If someone has a great idea, I’m the first one to say, &lt;em&gt;yes&lt;/em&gt;. Let’s go on that adventure.”</p>

<p><br />
Composer David Fleming, who gets an “additional music” credit for his contributions to the score, said, “We create and collaborate on ideas, experimenting as long as the filmmakers will allow us to before we finally start applying those ideas to picture.” He described “band meetings” as an open forum, adding, “More than anyone else, you can count on Hans to push a bold idea one step further than you think it could possibly go, and then push some more.”</p>

<p><br />
Guthrie Govan, a slide guitarist whom Zimmer discovered on YouTube, described the process: “He’ll outline the desired end result rather than prescribing a specific means of getting there. For one cue, he just said, ‘This needs to sound like sand.’”</p>

<p><br />
Entirely new instruments ended up being created from scratch. (With pandemic-era travel restrictions in place, many of these elements were recorded separately in different parts of the world.) Winds player Pedro Eustache built a 21-foot horn and a “contrabass duduk,” a supersized version of the ancient Armenian woodwind instrument.</p>

<p><br />
Chas Smith, working in isolation in his barn in rural California, struck, scraped and scratched various metallic instruments of his own invention, including one made from springs and saw blades, and another made of Inconel 718, a superalloy used in cryogenic storage tanks and SpaceX engines. In the film, Smith’s complex, resonant tonal textures accompany visuals of desert sands and windblown spice.</p>

<p><br />
One of the major and more surprising musical moments in “Dune” occurs during a ceremonious arrival on the desert planet Arrakis. The scene is announced with the portentous drone of bagpipes, an aural assault generated by a battalion of 30 highland pipers playing in a converted church in Scotland. Ear protection had to be worn: The volume reached 130 decibels, the equivalent of an air-raid siren.</p>

<p><br />
That unholy din in particular permeated Zimmer’s home during his late-night work sessions.<br />
“My daughter told me the other day she has bagpipe PTSD,” he said.</p>

<p><br />
Perhaps the most mystical presence in the score is a choir of female voices, singing, whispering and chanting in an invented language.</p>

<p><br />
“The true driving force of this novel is always the female characters,” Zimmer said. “It’s really the women that craft the destiny of everybody.”</p>

<p><br />
One arresting voice comes through like a war cry, all ancient, melismatic syllables in unsettled rhythms. These vocals were recorded in a closet in Brooklyn, the makeshift studio of music therapist and singer Loire Cotler. In that space, sitting on the floor, with clothes dangling above her head and her laptop perched on a cardboard box, Cotler sang for hours a day, emerging when it was dark.</p>

<p><br />
“It became a sacred musical laboratory,” Cotler said.</p>

<p><br />
Stylistically, Cotler drew on everything from Jewish niggun (wordless song) to South Indian vocal percussion, Celtic lament to Tuvan overtone singing. Even the sound of John Coltrane’s saxophone was an influence, she said.</p>

<p><br />
“When you start to hybridize these far-flung influences and techniques, interesting sounds start to happen,” she said. “It’s a vocal technique called ‘Hans Zimmer.’”</p>

<p><br />
Villeneuve has made headlines for insisting that “Dune” is the kind of multisensory experience that demands to be seen on a big screen in a cinema. In the same way, Zimmer’s score is one that demands to be experienced via a good cinema sound system.</p>

<p><br />
“I write in surround sound — but it’s not just about the big sound and big screen,” Zimmer said. “It’s about sharing something together. Shared dreaming.”</p>

<p>For the uninitiated, Noth's return to the reboot has been confirmed and he has been photographed multiple times with Parker. In fact, the recent teaser released by HBO Max showed the two being all lovey-dovey in their iconic kitchen setting.&nbsp;</p>

If the saying ‘Phir bhi dil hai Hindustani’ were a person, British R&B artiste Rishi Rich would be it. With one foot in London and another in Mumbai, this ‘Gully Boy’ collaborator is still navigating the enigma that is India.

If the saying ‘Phir bhi dil hai Hindustani’ were a person, British R&B artiste Rishi Rich would be it. With one foot in London and another in Mumbai, this ‘Gully Boy’ collaborator is still navigating the enigma that is India. One rhythm, one blues at a time. “I have always wanted to infuse my different cultures, something I have done with ‘Gully boy’ and ‘Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas’,” he says from his apartment home in the city of dreams. He assures us that as the founding member of The Rishi Rich Project—that had introduced the idea of desi fusion to many—he may have lost touch with the others who had constituted the crew, but not Jay Sean. In an exclusive chat with WION, the celebrated musician talks about his association with Netflix’s in-house baddie ‘Bad Boy Billionaires: India’, his penchant for (musical) perfection, and of course, his camaraderie with ‘brother’ Jay Sean. Excerpts from the conversation: WION: To put it simply, ‘Zakham’ is Bollywood-meets-Brooklyn. What prompted this British boy to seek inspiration from the streets of Brooklyn? What’s the story? RR: I’ve always been inspired by hip hop and R&B and obviously, Hindi music. And when I heard the original song from Zakham I just had to sample it. I have a great working relationship with Ishtar Music and they love how I sample music. So it was a no brainer. With Zakham, once the sample was placed and the foundation of the beat made… I just knew that an Indian American Rapper would be the only kind of artist to do it justice and that’s why I called up Rush Toor. Though it took me a little while to get the feel and vibe right, I’m pleased how it’s all come together! WION: You have created the background music (BGM) for Netflix’s mammoth success ‘Bad Boy Billionaires: India’. In what ways was that experience different from making extended plays (EPs) and even full-length albums? RR: I think when working on score and title music there is a different approach to working on the music. You have to capture those fleeting moments of emotion, passion, fear… the music has to bring what’s happening on screen to life. It’s a big responsibility! Whereas working on singles and albums is more based around what the artist wants or how I want to sound, so the execution and vision is different I would say. But, Scoring film and BGM is something which is always something I’ve loved doing and I’m working on some exciting new projects for the same. WION: For someone who has lived in India for a few seconds, you seem to be making (and getting nominated for!) a lot of music here in Bollywood. How do you imbibe your Indian roots into your western way of life and upbringing? RR: Being in India for the last five years has been such a wonderful creative experience. I’ve always wanted to live here and make music infusing my different cultures which is something I have done with films like Gully boy and Pal Pal Dil ke pass to name a few. Even prior to living in India, I have always tried to pour my culture, my roots into all my music. Even if you hear my doing a hip-hop song, you would still be able to feel the trails of my Indian culture and roots too. It’s a fusion. WION: In one of my earlier interviews with Jay Sean, I vividly remember him calling you a ‘brother for life’. What are your thoughts on him? RR: Ahh! We have an amazing relationship. We are brothers and have been through so much together. Our bond goes so much beyond music. So much so that now whenever we talk, we’re always talking about our future plans and what we want to do next. Working on Nakhre with him was so much fun and Jay as an artist never fails to impress me. He’s just a star! View this post on Instagram A post shared by RISHI RICH (@rishirich) × WION: India is experiencing a wave of change in its music scene: underground artists going main stream being a major one. Do you think showbiz changes the musician in a person? RR: Well I can only talk from personal experience and for me nothing should change you. It’s always about the music. And for me, it will always come down to that. Longevity is the key and remaining true to yourself and who you are, is what will keep you around in the long run!
