Anne Boleyn has been played on screen since the silent movie era. She’s been portrayed as a six-fingered boo-hiss villain, a Saturday Night Live punchline, a ghost haunting Princess Diana, and in recent stage musical Six, a Kate Nash-style aitch-dropping popstrel.
Now, Henry VIII’s second wife is trending on TikTok as a new generation gets sucked into the scandals of the Tudor court and stakes their allegiance to her, the Spanish queen unseated for her, the simpering virgin who followed her, or any other player during this eventful period in history when the king of England made the position of queen a revolving door. One thing the new Tudor fans seem to agree upon is that they aren’t #TeamHenry.

Exclusive: Here’s a first look at Alicia Vikander’s turn as Katherine Parr in the Cannes-bound Firebrand.
Gabrielle Tana’s Brouhaha Entertainment has released the first-look photo of the Ex Machina star in costume for Brazilian helmer Karim Ainouz’s first English-language film. See it below.
Alicia Vikander plays opposite Jude Law, who plays a scheming Henry VIII. Our exclusive photo shows Vikander with the ladies of her bedchamber, who are played by Ruby Bentall (Poldark), Bryony Hannah (Call The Midwife) and Maia Jemmett.
Images of Law as the much-married Tudor king are being kept under wraps at Ainouz’s behest until the movie has screened in competition in Cannes.
A screening date hasn’t been officially set yet but it’s strongly rumoured that Firebrand will premiere at the Palais des Festivals on Sunday, May 21. FilmNation will be shopping on the Croisette.

“Becoming Elizabeth” creator Anya Reiss doesn’t commonly watch period dramas. In fact, she thought the story of Queen Elizabeth I and her Tudor ancestors had been discussed to death. So why, then, embark on telling the story of an adolescent Elizabeth? It was the discovery of a story she hadn’t heard before: Elizabeth’s relationship at the age of fifteen with her stepmother Katherine Parr’s husband, Thomas Seymour. The relationship is debated among Tudor scholars to this day, many claiming the encounter never happened or that Elizabeth was assaulted by Seymour. For Reiss, who spoke to IndieWire via phone, it was “a grooming story through the eyes of someone [being groomed].”
The Tudors have graced screens, both big and small, since the release of the 1910 silent feature “Henry VIII and Catherine Howard.” Since that time Henry VIII and his six wives have been the focus of narrative features and documentaries,...

This initially premiered at FrightFest a few months ago, and arrives on VOD in December. Bloody Disgusting describes it as "a mix between films like 8mm, Saw and Hellraiser, only with ghosts.

A young man returns from a party to discover his roommate has disappeared after clicking on a nefarious porn ad - soon he wakes up with him stuck in a dank, surreal cellar with no way out.

Gravitas Ventures has acquired worldwide rights to G-Hey Kim’s horror film “Don’t Click,” starring Valter Skarsgard, Mark Koufos and Catherine Howard.
Skarsgard portrays 21-year-old Josh, who tries to convince his roommate and best friend, Zane (played by Koufos), to join him at a party. Zane declines the invitation, claiming he has to study, but instead surfs the web for porn. A sexually graphic pop-up catches Zane’s attention, and when Josh comes back to an empty apartment, Zane’s laptop is still open but there’s no sign of Zane — who passes out after the laptop starts flashing and wakes up in a dank, surreal cellar with no way out.
“Don’t Click” is based on Kim’s 2017 short film of the same name. The feature premiered in August at the U.K. horror festival FrightFest.
Gravitas will release “Don’t Click” in select theaters and on demand on Dec.
