Exclusive: Rachel Weisz is set star in and produce Legendary’s adaptation of acclaimed suspense novel Seance on a Wet Afternoon with Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy helmer Tomas Alfredson to direct.
Alfredson comes aboard the project replacing Harry Bradbeer, who will remain on as an executive producer as he recently returned to direct Legendary’s Enola Holmes sequel after the success of the first film. BAFTA and Tony-winner Jack Thorne wrote the draft, from a story by himself and Bradbeer.
Based on Mark McShane’s acclaimed 1961 suspense novel of the same name, the story follows a self-proclaimed psychic medium who convinces her husband to kidnap a child so she can help the police solve the crime and achieve renown for her abilities. When her true intentions come to light, however, her husband realizes the plan threatens to consume them both. The novel was previously adapted as a film in 1964 starring Richard Attenborough and Kim Stanley.

If you’re not one of the more-than-a-million people so far who’ve either bought Adam Kay’s blisteringly funny and poignant NHS memoir, unwrapped it as a gift, or both, then do please take the required action.
This is Going to Hurt is a short, great read with a vital message: childbirth is horrendous. Additionally: the people who make the NHS function, providing care to all that’s free at the point of delivery, do so under astounding pressure, working extraordinarily long hours without enough recompense and deserve respect, kindness and gratitude, not a continual volley of under-funding, government flak, and patients who insist on introducing objects not designed for internal use to their orifices without giving due thought to an exit strategy.
Drawn from Kay’s diaries during his time working as a Junior Doctor in a series of UK Obstetrics departments and published in 2017, the memoir is...

American Idol was announced to be coming to an end after 15 seasons yesterday (May 12), but did you know that Ryan Seacrest used to have a co-host?
Brian Dunkleman hosted the Fox competition's first season alongside Ryan Seacrest, before the latter took sole control. History has not been kind to poor old Brian since, with Fox TV CEO Dana Walden joking about a possible reunion for the pair.
"Where is Brian Dunkleman? If you give me his number, I will call and invite him," she joked, though Dunkleman gave as good as he got last night:
I knew American Idol would never last without me #Cancelled

Bryan Forbes dies at 86: Directed Katharine Hepburn, Leslie Caron, the original The Stepford Wives Director Bryan Forbes, whose films include the then-daring The L-Shaped Room, the all-star The Madwoman of Chaillot, and the original The Stepford Wives, has died "after a long illness" at his home in Virginia Water, Surrey, England. Forbes was 86. Born John Theobald Clarke on July 22, 1926, in London, Bryan Forbes began his film career as an actor in supporting roles in British productions of the late 1940s, e.g., Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s The Small Back Room / Hour of Glory and Thornton Freeland’s Dear Mr. Prohack. Another twenty or so movie roles followed in the ’50s, including those in Ronald Neame’s The Million Pound Note / Man with a Million (1954), supporting Gregory Peck, and Carol Reed’s The Key (1958), supporting Sophia Loren and William Holden.

He was married to actor Nanette Newman, who appeared in several of his films, and with whom he had two daughters – the TV presenter Emma Forbes and the journalist Sarah Standing.

From 1990 to 1996, Andi Peters wasn't just a children's TV presenter - he was children's TV. Whether he was locked in the Cbbc Broom Cupboard with his tank tops, Ed the Duck and Wilson the butler, or bringing sunshine to Saturday mornings with Emma Forbes on Live & Kicking, Peters was always the consummate professional. Famed for his odd dress sense (blazers, baseball caps and tartan waistcoats) and catchphrase "ooh-er missus", Peters always did his best to bring some small-scale misbehaviour and anarchy to our living rooms. Peters landed a voice role in Toy Story 2, made an impact on the (more)...

Last week Fern Britton announced that she was leaving This Morning after ten years as part of the iconic ITV daytime fixture. The hunt is now on to find Phil 'The Schofe' Schofield a new partner-in-crime, so to help speed up the process, Digital Spy has compiled a rag-tag list of potential replacements for the bubbly TV host. The Early Favourite: Holly Willoughby
When news came in that Fern was calling it a day, Holly and her impressive range of low cut dresses immediately sprang to our minds. On the negative side, she's heavily pregnant with her first child and considerably younger in years than silver fox Phil (and most of This Morning's viewers). On the plus side, she has a certain chemistry with Schofe on Dancing On Ice and would probably double the male audience demographic. The Blast From The Past: Emma Forbes

Emma Forbes is reportedly being considered as a replacement for Fern Britton on This Morning. Britton announced earlier this week that she would be leaving her job as co-presenter on the ITV show at the end of its current season. Channel executives believe that Forbes, 43, who hosted Live & Kicking in the '90s, is a perfect replacement to work with Phillip Schofield, sources told the Mail on Sunday. An insider commented: "There are a lot of names being touted about, but Emma is the one. "She (more)...

Any child growing up in the 1990s will only have kind words to say about Emma Forbes. Her exuberant personality, impressive bouffant and sizzling on-screen relationships with co-hosts endeared her to an entire generation of TV viewers. Forbes's stint on Live & Kicking with Andi Peters between 1993 and 1996 is often considered a golden age in children's television broadcasting, while her famous head-flicking Head & Shoulders ad campaign got pretty much every dad in the country all a-fluster. Pre-Live & Kicking Forbes had a cookery slot on Going (more)...
