Filmmaker Richard Curtis has been looking back on his 2003 rom-com ‘Love Actually’. He discussed more ways he wished he could improve his film and said that he wished he had included more religions in the film.
The film had a divided fanbase due to lack of diversity, cruel jokes, and stereotyped characters. Curtis himself has noted that the star studded movie failed on a cultural level. He touched upon a storyline that was cut from the film that featured acclaimed actresses Anne Reid and Frances de La Tour.
He said: “We were meant to have an LGBTQ story [in Love Actually] but it got cut and I feel as though I let myself down there. And the diversity issue is very different now. It would’ve been lovely to make the film more culturally rich. To have had Hanukkah, to have had Diwali in there.”

The festive season has rolled around again, bringing with it endless repeats of Love Actually on TV and streaming services.
But while Richard Curtis’s star-studded romcom may be a Christmas viewing staple, few fans know about one highly emotional LGBT+ relationship that ended up on the cutting room floor.
The plotline centred around an older lesbian couple who were connected to Karen (Emma Thompson) and her family.
It saw Anne Reid play the headmistress at the school attended by Karen’s son, while Frances de la Tour appeared as her terminally ill partner Geraldine.
The film was meant to feature a moving scene in which the pair bicker over their differing tastes in fancy sausages and display their wicked senses of humour, before cuddling up at night. It is later revealed during a school assembly that Geraldine died shortly before Christmas.
However, the story didn’t make the final cut,...

Which bit of Love Actually disturbs you the most? For me, personally, it’s when Kris Marshall’s character is about to board a plane to find some hot American chicks to bang, and he bellows, “Here comes Colin Frissell… and he’s got a bigggg knobbbb.” Obviously if I saw the man from My Family shouting that at an airport, it would ruin not just my holiday but my entire Christmas. But what’s bothering me more about Love Actually, actually, is the way that bashing Richard Curtis’s Now 45 compilation of a Christmas film has become an annual sport. At this time of year, the takes really are all around. People declare this fluffy film problematic. Anti-feminist. Practically the anti-Christ. Earlier this week, Jeremy Vine’s Channel 5 show even had a segment that explored the film’s “red flags” and asked if we should stop watching it all together.

Love Actually writer-director Richard Curtis has admitted that the lack of diversity in his 2003 Christmas classic doesn’t sit well with him.
The award-winning British filmmaker said there are moments of the film that are now “bound to feel out of date”, but that society’s ongoing love for it was “really touching”.
Love Actually follows numerous storylines about people in love. However, apart from the interracial marriage between Keira Knightley and Chiwetel Ejiofor, the cast is overwhelmingly white.
The relationships are also exclusively heterosexual (although there is homoerotic subtext between Bill Nighy’s rock star and his manager). A lesbian storyline with Anne Reid and Frances de La Tour was cut from the final version of the film.
Curtis’s comments about diversity came during an interview in the new one-hour special, The Laughter & Secrets of Love Actually: 20 Years Later, which was broadcast on US network ABC on Tuesday...

Frances de la Tour has called the decision to cut her scene from the 2003 romcom Love Actually “odd”.
The Harry Potter and Seventies sitcom star had shot scenes for the film as a woman called Geraldine, the terminally ill partner of the headmistress (Anne Reid) at the school attended by Karen’s (Emma Thompson) son.
The audience was supposed to see a moving scene in which the pair bicker over their differing tastes in fancy sausages and display wicked senses of humour, before cuddling up at night.
It is later revealed during a school assembly that Geraldine died shortly before Christmas.
“We had a lovely scene,” De la Tour told The Independent in a new interview. “And I think it was the only gay scene. It’s odd that they cut it. Maybe it was too dark to bring into it. Because it ended up being quite a light and fluffy film,...

The TV academy has honored voice-only performances since 1992, when six cast members from “The Simpsons” collectively became the first actors to receive Emmys for such work. The Best Voice-Over Performance category became an official non-juried one in 2009 and was then split into two categories in 2014: Best Character Voice-Over and Best Narrator. Harry Shearer (“The Simpsons”) made history as the former category’s first champion, having been nominated once before for the same series.
The 2022 Best Character Voice-Over ballot list below consists of a whopping 222 performances. Seeking a third consecutive victory is Maya Rudolph, who plays Connie the Hormone Monstress on “Big Mouth.” Also in the mix are former winners Shearer, Hank Azaria (“The Simpsons”), Alex Borstein (“Family Guy”), and Seth MacFarlane (“Family Guy”).
Unlike the live action and fictional program nominees, which are chosen by all 22,000 plus academy members, the Best Character Voice-Over contenders are picked only by voters...

“Slave Play” made history back in October when it received 12 Tony Awards nominations, the most ever for a play. Five of those citations recognize members of its stellar ensemble, including a bid in Actress, two in Featured Actor, and two in Featured Actress. While “Slave Play” is the frontrunner for Best Play according to our exclusive Tony Awards predictions, none of its cast will take home trophies. But could an upset be looming?
Though it seems counterintuitive that Tony voters would award a play the top honor without recognizing at least one of its performers, it has happened six times in the past 20 years, including the two most recent. In 2019, Jez Butterworth’s “The Ferryman,” an expansive family drama about The Troubles in Ireland, won the top prize and trophies for Director (Sam Mendes), Scenic Design, and Costume Design, but didn’t pick up awards for its three nominated performers: actor Paddy Considine,...

The life of England’s Prince George is being parodied in HBO Max’s The Prince, the 12-episode series premiering in one full batch at midnight Thursday. The project was originally delayed in May after the death of Prince Phillip.
The Prince is a biting, satirical look at the life of Prince George of Cambridge as he navigates the trials and tribulations of being a royal child. The youngest heir to the British throne will be voiced by creator Gary Janetti, who popularized the character and his royal adventures via his Instagram page.
By the looks of the new trailer, neither Prince Harry (Orlando Bloom), his wife Duchess Megan Markle (Condola Rashad) nor the rest of the family will be spared in the name of comedy—not even Queen Elizabeth (Frances de la Tour).

Enola Holmes is perhaps one of the most charming family-friendly films Netflix has recently dropped. The movie, which premiered on Sept. 23, follows the adventures of Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) - the younger sister of famed detective Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and government official Mycroft (Sam Claflin). She sets out to find her mother, Eudoria (Helena Bonham Carter), who disappeared on her 16th birthday, leaving her nothing but money and a cipher decoder. During the escapade, Enola meets a young runaway nobleman named Viscount Tewksbury (Louis Partridge) and helps him evade the assassin Linthorn (Burn Gorman). While Eudoria's disappearance and the mystery surrounding Tewksbury's murderous stalker seem unrelated at first, it becomes clear that they're connected by one thing: the suffrage movement.
Throughout the movie, which takes place in 1884, there are several references to a reform bill. Although they never directly say what the bill is, there are a handful of...

Warning: contains Enola Holmes plot spoilers
Netflix film Enola Holmes is a revolutionary parable about rejecting the status quo and choosing your own destiny. In it, Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown plays the sixteen-year-old sister of Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes (Sam Claflin and Henry Cavill), a bright spark raised in splendid isolation by their mother Eudoria (Helena Bonham Carter) to think, fight and plot her own path through life. When Eudoria mysteriously disappears, Enola undertakes her first missing persons case and reconnects with her estranged detective brother along the way.
Based on the first in a six-strong series of YA books by Nancy Springer, Enola Holmes is a lively, if overlong, romp with a political heart and a charming central performance by Millie Bobby Brown. With plot spoilers, here’s a breakdown of the major action…

Henry Cavill has had a super month (pun intended) thus far. The actor has reportedly signed on to play Superman in at least three more movies and is also starring in a recently released mystery flick that’s earned praised from critics and fans alike.
Yes, as you may’ve seen, Enola Holmes is currently the number one most-watched film on Netflix, thanks in no small part to the 37-year-old’s take on Sherlock. The internet fell in love with the idea of Cavill as the renowned investigator back when the trailer dropped earlier this year and it seems safe to say that he’s more than lived up to the hype. The feature currently holds a 91% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has fans online begging for a sequel.

Netflix's Enola Holmes begins as a mystery centered on the disappearance of Enola Holmes's (Millie Bobby Brown) mother, Eudoria (Helena Bonham Carter). However, another conundrum unfolds when the young detective meets a blossoming marquess, Viscount Tewksbury (Louis Partridge). The two cross paths on a train carriage during their attempts to escape their respective families who are set on forcing them to live less than enjoyable lives. Enola's brother, Mycroft, wants to send her to an unpleasant finishing school to turn her into a "lady." Meanwhile, Tewksbury's family want to force him into the army before he rises in rank and takes the place of his late father in the House of Lords. To make matters worse, a bowler-hat-wearing man named Linthorn (Burn Gorman) is trying to kill Tewksbury. So what's the deal with the case of the missing marquess?

If you thought Sherlock Holmes was clever, just wait until you meet his little sister, Enola Holmes, played by Millie Bobby Brown in the upcoming Netflix movie.
The “Stranger Things” star is no lady in the streaming film’s title role — she’s a “wild child,” as big brother Sherlock (Henry Cavill) describes her. Enola, which backwards spells “Alone,” is a watcher, a listener and a fighter. She sure as hell is no embroiderer.

"There are two paths you can take, Enola – yours, or the path others choose for you." Netflix has revealed the first official trailer for Enola Holmes, a fun comedy focusing on Sherlock Holmes' sister Enola, instead of the famed British super-sleuth. When Sherlock's teen sister discovers her mother missing and is sent to live with her brothers, she sets off to find her, becoming a super-sleuth in her own right as she outwits her famous brother and unravels a dangerous conspiracy around a mysterious young Lord. Sounds delightful! Starring Millie Bobby Brown as Enola Holmes, with a cast including Sam Claflin, Adeel Akhtar, Fiona Shaw, Frances de la Tour, Louis Partridge, Burn Gorman, Susan Wokoma, with Henry Cavill as Sherlock and Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Holmes. Described as a "dynamic new mystery-adventure that introduces the world's greatest detective to his fiercest competition yet: his teenage sister. The game is afoot.

Gary Janetti is one of my favorite people on Instagram. In a time where royal news coverage is . . . exhausting, Janetti's account - which is a tongue-in-cheek page dedicated to Prince George - is a breath of fresh air that pokes fun at the relentless coverage of the British royals. Plus, it makes me cackle on a daily basis (there's a reason the page has almost one million followers).
And clearly, HBO Max agrees, because the network has greenlit a satirical animated TV series titled The Prince, which will be produced by Janetti himself and 20th Century Fox TV.

Netflix is keeping Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown in its streaming stable for a new kind of starring vehicle in Enola Holmes. An adaptation of the Edgar Award-nominated young adult novel series of author Nancy Springer, the film will see the teen actress trading all things psychokinetic and Eggos for sleuthing in Victorian England, bearing a surname that obviously carries significant weight in the detective trade.
The streaming giant has acquired the global rights to Springer’s The Enola Holmes Mysteries novels from Legendary Entertainment. The film, which adapts the first book, The Case of the Missing Marquess, has already been shot, but is—like everything else—without a post-production timeframe due to the pandemic. Brown stars as the titular character, the tenaciously precocious 16-year-old sister of famed Holmes siblings Sherlock and Mycroft.

At a time when production is shut down, Netflix continues to grow its slate through acquisitions. One day after the streamer paid $20 million world rights to the Ted Melfi-directed Melissa McCarthy-starrer The Starling, Netflix closed a deal with Legendary Entertainment for Enola Holmes, the Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag and Killing Eve) directed drama that stars Stranger Things‘ Millie Bobby Brown. All rights but China are in the deal.
It’s the start of a potential franchise based on the six-book book series The Enola Holmes Mysteries. Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) adapted it. With its stock soaring, Netflix’s challenge is to not run out of new product.
Pic’s produced by Legendary’s Mary Parent, Alex Garcia and Ali Mendes, along with Millie Bobby Brown and Paige Brown through their Pcma Productions shingle. Exec producers are Joshua Grode, Michael Dreyer and Harry Bradbeer.
Brown, who worked with Legendary on Godzilla: King of the Monsters, stars alongside Sam Claflin, Adeel Akhtar, Fiona Shaw, Frances de la Tour, Louis Partridge, Burn Gorman, Susan Wokoma, Henry Cavill and Helena Bonham Carter.
Pic tells story of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes’ rebellious teen sister Enola, a gifted super-sleuth in her own right who often outsmarts her brilliant siblings. When her mother mysteriously disappears on her 16th birthday, Enola seeks help from her older brothers. But soon realizing they’re less interested in solving the case than in packing her off to finishing school, Enola does the only thing a smart, resourceful and fearless young 1880s woman can do… she runs away to London to find her. Meeting a cast of memorable characters along the way, Enola’s caught in the middle of a conspiracy that could alter the course of political history.

Written and executive produced by Janetti, the series will follow a cartooned 6-year-old Prince George, voiced by Janetti, spilling the royal “tea” on his family, followers and the British Monarchy.

Robert Downey, Jr. talks to the animals in Dolittle, an object lesson in cinematic incoherence that would be easy to dismiss as a hot mess if it could even raise a temperature. Instead, this out-and-out disaster dissolves in a puddle of botched intentions that will leave children sad and confused and adults scratching their heads. Dr. John Dolittle, the beloved British veterinarian created by author Hugh Lofting a century ago, has been previously used and abused by Hollywood, first in 1967 with a soporific musical version starring Rex Harrison, and later...

It’s been more than half a century since Rex Harrison spoke (and sang!) to animals as author Hugh Lofting’s eloquent veterinarian, and just over two decades since Eddie Murphy gave his own goofy modern portrayal. That’s enough time for Dr. Dolittle to fade from kid audiences’ collective consciousness, and just the right amount for Lofting’s first two books to enter the public domain, which explains why a new studio — Universal, where the two earlier incarnations hailed from Fox — has opted to revive the character yet again, this time enlisting the intensely charismatic actor Robert Downey Jr. to play the title role.
Trouble is, this latest “Dolittle” is downright sloppy. Director Stephen Gaghan’s period-set overhaul of the literary classic proves to be as predictable as it is obnoxious. In its defense, the film evokes an arm’s-length connection with its cute CG creature coterie and delivers heartening messages about psychological trauma,...

Robert Downey Jr. stars as one of literature’s most enduring characters in a vivid reimagining of the classic tale of the man who could talk to animals: Dolittle.
After losing his wife (Kasia Smutniak) seven years earlier, the eccentric Dr. John Dolittle (Downey), famed doctor and veterinarian of Queen Victoria’s England, hermits himself away behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company.
But when the young queen (Jessie Buckley) falls gravely ill, a reluctant Dolittle is forced to set sail on an epic adventure to a mythical island in search of a cure, regaining his wit and courage as he crosses old adversaries and discovers wondrous creatures.
The doctor is joined on his quest by a young, self-appointed apprentice, Tommy Stubbins (Harry Collett) and a band of his animal friends, including a fearful gorilla, Chee-Chee (Rami Malek), an enthusiastic but bird-brained duck,...
