Goteborg Fest Awards

Tigers, directed by Ronnie Sandahl, won the 2021 Dragon Award Best Nordic Film as this year’s Goteborg Film Festival came to a close over the weekend.

Exclusive: Brian Cox (Succession), John Malkovich (The New Pope), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (The Queen’s Gambit) and Harry Hamlin (L.A. Law) are joining the “audio movie event” Unsinkable alongside Blair Redford (The Gifted) and Paul Telfer (Days of Our Lives).

This year marks the 80th anniversary of one of the most extraordinary maritime events of World War II: the story of the cargo ship San Demetrio, which was severely damaged in battle, abandoned by its crewmembers and then later retrieved. To mark the occasion, Datura Studios and North Atlantic Ridge in association with B7 Media and AudioMarvels assembled an impressive team for the audio production of Unsinkable to capture this epic journey of the ship that would not die.

Datura partnered with John Mawson’s North Atlantic Ridge to adapt his screenplay, The San Demetrio, into an audio movie.

“It’s such an unusual story,” said Cox. He added of...

Has Emma completely lost her mind? We all knew it was bound to happen eventually. Emma and Sutton (Alexandra Chando) switched places -- again -- on the Feb. 6 episode of The Lying Game, leading to a whole lot of confusion. And even more revelations. For starters, Mads (Alice Greczyn) found out that Sutton hit on Ryan (Misha Crosby) at the black-and-white ball, which led Emma to reveal the truth: She's not Sutton! Dun, dun, dun! And Justin "Crazy Eyes" Miller (Randy Wayne) continued dating Laurel (Allie Gonino) on the Dl, but things got a little awkward when he attended her concert and watched as sparks flew between her and Baz (Adam Brooks). Meanwhile, Sutton and Ethan (Blair Redford) spent the day with Papa Whitehorse, while Ethan hid out from the fuzz. Alec (Adrian Pasdar) is still convinced he killed Derek (Ben Elliott), and until we find out who was in the other car that night,...

Is the big mystery really over, or is this just another lie? Either way, Rebecca terrifies me now. If there's one thing you should take away from the Jan. 23 episode of The Lying Game, it's that Rebecca (Charisma Carpenter) is not to be trifled with. But since we didn't discover why until the very end of the episode, let's hash out some of the other lessons we learned this week. Sutton & Ryan have a sexy, awkward history: Yes, kids, it looks like we might have a new love triangle on our hands. Mads' (Alice Greczyn) new British squeeze Ryan (Misha Crosby) apparently hooked up with Sutton (Alexandra Chando) in ninth grade. I'm not sure how far they went, but Rebecca is (probably) Emma & Sutton's mom: I know we all pretty predicted it, but when Annie Hobbs (Stacy Edwards) told Sutton and Emma she wasn't their real mother, and Rebecca appeared...

Plus, Alice tells us a few things you might not know about herself -- including her biggest obsession! You may think you know everything about Mads on The Lying Game, but Alice Greczyn tells HollywoodLife.com that things are about to change for her now that the real Sutton (Alexandra Chando) is back in Phoenix, and a new love interest (Misha Crosby) has entered her life. The arrival of both characters "really sparks things up for Mads," Alice tells us. "Things get more intense." Alice tells us she's particularly excited about working with Misha -- and not just because he's British. "Misha Crosby, who plays Ryan, is just a charming guy to work with," she tells us. "And he does Ryan very well. He's kind of the cocky, too-big-for-his-britches school boy, but he's so charming that you can't help but like him." . And now that I've filled you in about all things Mads,...

When "The Lying Game" returns to ABC Family on Monday, Jan. 2 at 9 p.m., don't expect to know any more about the most secretive city in all of Arizona than you did when the first half of the season ended in October.

Star Alexandra Chando tells Zap2it that although more questions surrounding the show's myriad secrets will be answered, you might not be completely satisfied. "Every question that is answered stems another question," she says. "So there's always a chain of twists and turns."

At the end of the last new episode, Emma was about to reveal the truth -- that she had traded places with her long-lost twin sister, Sutton -- when she thought she spotted Annie, the woman she and her sister believed to be their mother. (That sounds complicated, but believe us -- that's not even half of the crazy web of secrets these people have woven.

Possession(s), a new Australian short, featured one of the most notable launches in recent memory. To coincide with the film’s release a famous Peter Booth artwork, Painting (Man With Bandaged Head), was sold off in The Deutscher and Hackett Important Fine Art Auction.

The tie-in between the film and the auction comes in the shape of actor Laurence Fuller who used the painting, which he owned, as inspiration for the dark, brooding short. His character Frank, upon seeing the Peter Booth work, becomes embroiled with a sense of obsession; he simply has to own the piece and will do anything to make it so. However, it soon becomes clear that Frank is not the only one consumed by the desire to possess.

Laurence Fuller shines in the lead role and it is easy to see why he is a much sought after young actor. Having attended the Method...
