As the New York Times' Dave Kehr points out in a recent highlight piece, Orson Welles' filmmaking debut came seven years before 1941's "Citizen Kane," with an eight-minute short titled "The Hearts of Age." Teenager Welles made the film with a friend from school, William Vance. In this early endeavor, Welles dons old-age makeup -- a sign of disguises to come in "Kane." Watch below. The main gist of Kehr's article, however, focuses on forty minutes of footage filmed by Welles in 1938, made to be shown with theatrical production "Too Much Johnson," a revival of an 1894 comedy the director planned for the 1938 season of the Mercury Theatre. When the show closed following a negatively received preview in Stony Creek, Connecticut, Welles put the footage aside. Mercury Theatre members, including eventual screen star Joseph Cotten and Welles' wife at the time, Virginia Nicholson, were part of the abandoned film. Recently...

This time, it was the perfect outfit for the Spring nuptials of Kate and Prince William's friends William van Cutsem and Rosie Keene, who tied the knot in Ewelme, England. William served as an usher at the ceremony while Kate's sister Pippa and brother James were also in attendance. The wedding took place while Prince Harry was on his Us tour, but now the young royal is back by his brother's side.

Kate Middleton wore sneakers and jeans to brave the London rain for a shopping trip on Tuesday. She carried her own bags as she made her way to a car after a visit to a home store. Perhaps pregnant Kate was shopping for her new home, Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace, where she and Prince William will move into this Fall. Will and Kate will not go at it alone since they recently hired Antonella Fresolone, a former housekeeper for Queen Elizabeth II, to help them with running their new household. Kate joined Prince William at a wedding on Saturday to watch pals William van Cutsem and Rosie Ruck Keene tie the knot in a small town in South Oxfordshire. Kate reportedly recycled her polka-dot Topshop dress, which she wore to a Warner Bros. Studios tour last month, to wear to the wedding. View Slideshow ›...

Indiewire's own Eric Kohn caught up with Roger Avary at the Locarno Film Festival for the Oscar-winning screenwriter and director's first interview since he was jailed for eight months for vehicular manslaughter. While talking to the "Pulp Fiction" writer, Kohn asked him to share some details about his current gig writing and executive producing "Xiii," a Franco-Canadian action series starring Stuart Townsend as an amnesiac secret agent, based on a Belgian comic book series by Jean Van Hamme and William Vance and currently airing in the Us on Reelz. I was asked by Ken Alpluz and Europa Corp, the TV division of the Luc Besson company, if I could take this series based on a French comic book in a somewhat different direction. One of my very favorite television shows growing up was "The Prisoner." "Xiii" is a spy show. I think the comic book is a little too similar to "The Bourne Identity.
