Swedish singer Erik Grönwall has stepped away from Skid Row, primarily for health-related reasons. As a temporary replacement, Halestorm leader Lzzy Hale is set to fill in on the band’s upcoming shows.
The split between Grönwall and Skid Row is an amicable one, with the former citing the rigors of touring with a compromised immune system in a statement on the band’s social media:
“I got the opportunity to join this incredible band six months after my treatment against leukemia. And one month after that, I was on a world tour with Skid f**** Row. Wow! It was a dream come true. However, it proved challenging touring the world with an impaired immune system, which is a result of my bone marrow transplant.

Entertainment"We knew we were doing something never done before, at least not in Telugu cinema," Deverakonda says.Ians Pelli-Choopulu-Movie-Hero-Vijay-Devarakonda.jpgBy Subhash K Jha Actor Vijay Deverakonda says that working on Arjun Reddy sapped him. Here are excerpts from an interview: Q. How do you look back on the Arjun Reddy experience? It sapped me. Exhausted the hell out of me. I had to be constantly probing into the darkest areas of my consciousness, digging out feelings and tapping into emotions I had never touched in myself. You see, when it comes to probing and showing my feelings, I am a shirker. Q. What do you mean? I can't show, let alone share my emotions. In fact, I've kept it all locked up within myself all my life. Yeah, it's a problem, especially when it comes to relationships with the people close to me. Q. I remember you telling me it was causing a problem with your girlfriend? It's always been a problem. That's why Arjun Reddy was very hard for me. The character is constantly diving into grey and dark areas of his subconscious. Left to myself I won't even go there. Q. Did you expect Arjun Reddy to make such an impact? We knew we were doing something never done before, at least not in Telugu cinema. We were sure we'd make some kind of an impact. It went much further than we expected. But now I'm done with Arjun Reddy. My next film in Telugu in Taxiwala. It's a supernatural thriller, a world as far removed from the previous film as possible. I play a cabbie. Q. And in the biopic on actress Savithri you play Mgr? You mean Mahanti in Tamil? Yes, I am doing that film. In fact, I've just started shooting for it. But I am not playing Mgr. I sometimes hear I am playing Mgr, sometimes Ntr. I am playing neither. I am actually playing a journalist. Both Samantha Ruth Prabhu and I play journalists who set out to piece together the story of Savithri's life. Q. Like Orson Welles in Citizen Kane? Yeah, kind of. Do you know, I've hardly watched the classics? I spent half my life in a boarding school where we were shown only the sporadic wholesome classic like The Sound Of Music. So, I am not familiar with most of the works of the acting greats in Bollywood, Hollywood or Tamil-Telugu cinema. We were shown sanitized films where even a brush on the lips was cut. Q. So where did all that horniness in Arjun Reddy emerge from? (Laughs) I don't know. Probably it was suppressed inside me. All of it came bubbling to the surface in Arjun Reddy. Yeah, this guy believed in pre-marital sex and was very physically sexually active. But in my next film which I start shooting in February I play a virgin. Q. You have to be kidding? No, seriously. The guy I am playing in my next is a sweet wholesome lovable family man who wouldn't dream of asking his girlfriend for a kiss let alone sex. This is my homage to the archetypal angel-hero that Salman Khan plays in Sooraj Barjatya's film. Q. Do you find it challenging to play a sweet-natured character? It's a big challenge. I am done with sweetness and virginity with this film. The three films after this would all have me playing dark disturbed characters. Exploring the dark side of my characters' personality is my forte. Q. Are you looking at doing a sequel to Arjun Reddy? My director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and I discussed it even while we were filming it. There is so much to this character that remains unexplored. We will return to Arjun at some point, though not right away. For now I'm just happy with the impact this film and my character has made. I've just received my first Best Actor award from Zee Telugu. And that too from the legendary Chiranjeevi Sir. Q. What next? Well, now I leave for a two-week European holiday to Spain and Belgium. I think I've earned myself this break. I come back after the New Year to complete my work in Mahanati. Q. Will the high expectations you have generated with Arjun Reddy come in the way of audiences appreciating you in your forthcoming films? I am happy with my role in Taxiwala. It gave me a chance to do a character that was fun. I didn't have to agonize over every scene. As for Mahanati it's a relatively small role in a film that pays a homage to one of Tamil cinema's greatest actresses. Sometimes it is liberating for an actor to just be a part of film where he doesn't have to shoulder all the responsibility. Enanble Notification: NoTNM Marquee: No...

That's certainly the case in the new thriller from Icelandic director Oskar Thor Axelsson that combines familiar Nordic thriller conventions with supernatural plot elements. Compellingly creepy, I Remember You should well please the many fans of the genre.

If you’ve seen Thor: Ragnarok, you know by now that this movie is hilarious and easily one of the most entertaining films in Marvel's Cinematic Universe. Most of the credit goes to director Taika Waititi who injected the film with a ton of comedy and helped Chris Hemsworth reinvent the iconic character of Thor.
During an appearance on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, Waititi revealed that during his pitch to Marvel, he used some footage from a few John Hughes movies and he initially planned an elaborate 1980s flashback sequence:
“Well I wanted this little thing, and maybe if we ever do a Thor 4 we can have it, but I wanted to do some flashbacks where Thor was a kid, a fat little kid. There was like an 80s version of Asgard where everyone had massive shoulder pads, and everyone had mullets (laughs). Our idea was Thor...

Hey, "Empire" fans. Unfortunately, we have some pretty bad news to deliver in this article. It turns out that it's that time of year again where your favorite show is going to have to take a back seat to Fox's coverage of the Major League Baseball World Series. Yep, that's right. The upcoming episode 5 of this current season 4 is getting delayed for a possible two weeks! It's definitely not going to air next Wednesday, October 25,2017 due to Fox covering the big Game 2 of the World Series. What could make this even worse is if the series is driven to seven games. That means the show would not air on Wednesday night, November 1,2017 as well! This is a big "if" though. It has happened in the past. In fact, it just happened last year causing Empire to be delayed for two weeks. We certainly hope that doesn't happen this year, but...

"It's impossible that this is a coincidence." IFC Films has debuted an official Us trailer for a horror thriller titled I Remember You from Iceland, about a young man and woman who move into a small abandoned town in Iceland to renovate an old house. Of course, this house has a dark past and things start to happen once they arrive. While this trailer is appropriately timed for the horror season this October, the film doesn't actually open until mid-November in America. This stars a fine set of Icelandic actors: Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Thor Kristjansson, Ágústa Eva Erlendsdóttir & Anna Gunndís Guðmundsdóttir. This looks like another good dark, freaky supernatural thriller with an Icelandic twist. Check it out below.

Not even a year has passed since The Brooklyn Horror Film Festival emerged as a must-attend genre festival, but year two is already looking to cement such talk. We Got This Covered reported from the trenches last October, where I served as one of the festival’s inaugural judges. The films were strong and the drinks stronger, only increasing excitement for year two. Fast-forward to September 2017 and the countdown clock has just about run out. Something we couldn’t be happier for.
Birth.Movies.Death. was lucky enough to announce Brooklyn Horror’s first wave, including buzzed-about highlights such as Tragedy Girls (one of my favorites from SXSW) and Sequence Break (a Fantasia Fest favorite for me).

One of the most unexpected breakouts at this year’s Sundance Film Festival was Danielle MacDonald for playing Patricia Dombroski — aka Patti Cake$ — a 23-year-old, heavy-set Jersey girl with dreams of rap stardom. MacDonald carries the film not only with her acting, but her hip hop performances. There was just one problem that the Australian actress faced: She had never rapped before in her life.

“I just wanted an actress first,” said writer-director Jasper in an interview for IndieWire’s Filmmaker Toolkit podcast this week. “We decided to cast an actress over a musician just because there are so many heavy scenes, there’s comedic scenes, there’s dramatic scenes, she had to do some much – she had to carry the film, she’s in every single scene.”

Orphan Black‘s chameleon-like star Tatiana Maslany had such a difficult time parting with the many clones she has played on the BBC America series that she, literally, got a nosebleed while saying goodbye to one of them.

The bloody moment, which came during her final scene as suburban mom Alison, “was so telling in terms of how little I wanted to let go of that character,” Maslany tells TVLine in the following Q&A. (We’ll miss Alison a lot, too.)

Written by George Mann | Art by Tazio Bettin | Colour by Erica Erin Angiolini | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 112pp
After a thousand years of warp storms, the Calaphrax Cluster has re-opened to the universe, and Baltus and his fellow Dark Angel Space Marines join a strike force sent to explore and secure the region, in search of forgotten artefacts and ancient technology! But the forces of Chaos are never far away… and a shameful Dark Angels secret from the Horus Heresy soon leads to a new front in the war!
Ahh, Warhammer 40000. I remember you from my youth. Hours spent painstakingly painting and arranging little figurines on my desk so I could make shooty noises out of the corner of my mouth and stare at them proudly.
What? Game? There’s a game?
Anyway, onto the comic. This volume comes from Titan and collects the first four issues of the series under the title of Will of Iron. There are plenty of opportunities to make shooty noises out of the corner of your mouth throughout because as we all know: in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
It’s not the destination, however, but the journey that really shines through in this volume.
The artwork, by Tazio Bettin, has some very impactful moments throughout. Made even more stunning by colourist Erica Erin Angiolini, there are a few pages where I just stopped to gape at the beautiful space vistas that these two have managed to bring alive. In fact, if it had been a comic comprised entirely of dramatic space landscapes, I would have been happy (but maybe a little bored). Luckily, we also get some well envisioned characters and action sequences as well.
On the story side, it’s written by George Mann. In our review of the first issue by Dean Fuller, he mentions how the story is not really for people new to Warhammer 40k or the surrounding universe. For this first volume, that description still stands true. I get that Space Marines don’t like Chaos Space Marines because of reasons and the Chaos Marines are probably the bad guys because they are uglier and wear black (possibly because it’s slimming?) but, beyond that, I don’t have much of an in depth knowledge myself. I mean, why can’t they all just get along?
I also realised, on the my third read through of the volume, that I didn’t know any of the character’s names. At first, I thought it was because they had names like Inquisitor Sabbethiel, Interregator-Chaplain Altheous, and Master Seraphus, which are long and complicated and refuse to stay in my brain. But on a fourth read through, I came to the conclusion that character development is on the weaker side.
Inquisitor Sabbethiel (just writing that name is a pain) and her motley crew are by far the most interesting group in the volume, but they are just teased at. Who are they? Why are they following them? They are also the most varied bunch of characters in the comic, providing a stark contrast to the faceless space marines and armies who shoot at each other for the rest of the issue. Maybe a bit more character time and less epic battles might have balanced it out, but an argument could be made that you don’t buy a ‘Warhammer’ comic for the emotional journey. Pew pew pew!
All in all, not a terrible volume. If you’re a 40k fan, and have the lore down, or are looking for a fast-paced, action-filled read this might be one worth checking out. But for the uninitiated or a random passer-by? Maybe not quite your cup of tea.
***½ 3.5/5...

IFC Films moves for Us rights to Oskar Thór Axelsson’s second feature.
Scandinavian sales outfit TrustNordisk has finalised multiple Cannes deals on its Icelandic horror I Remember You.
The film has sold to North America (IFC Films), France (Swift), Japan (Gaga), Latin America (California Filmes), and Vietnam (Green Media).
Those deals add to previously struck agreements for UK and Ireland (Studiocanal), German speaking territories (Telemünchen), Turkey (Euromedia), and Hungary (Vertigo).
I Remember You, director-writer Oskar Thór Axelsson’s second feature film after Black’s Game in 2013, tells the story of a young man and woman who move into a small abandoned town with a dark history in Iceland to renovate an old house.
Once there, a number of elderly people befall strange deaths, leading to the discovery of a dark, supernatural presence.
The film is based on a novel by Icelandic crime writer Yrsa Sigurdardottir and stars Thor Kristjansson, Ágústa Eva Erlendsdóttir, and Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson...

When “Moulin Rouge!” opened the 54th Cannes Film Festival in 2001, critics either fell in love with its over-the-top pop spectacle or disregarded it as all style and no substance. It was basically your quintessential Baz Luhrmann movie, but it took the box office by storm and charmed enough Oscar voters to land eight nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Nicole Kidman.

Eight decades look great on Rita Moreno.
Looking at her flawless complexion, it’s hard to believe that a) she’s 85, and b) that she ever had a problem with her skin.
“When I was in my teens and into my early 20s I had acne,” the legendary actress reveals to People in the World’s Most Beautiful issue. “I used to get those big purple jobs but not a lot of them, thank goodness, because you really couldn’t see them in the films that I did.”

Kris and Caitlyn Jenner were just starting to reconcile their friendship before Caitlyn's tell-all memoir came out.
On Sunday's Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Caitlyn came over to her ex's house and the pair laid down for facials while reminiscing about the past.
Caitlyn marveled at how they were finally able to start doing things together as girls, after years of stealing makeup from Kris while they were married.
Watch: Kris and Caitlyn Jenner Try to Take a 'Positive Step' In Their Relationship
"I still have bags of it in drawers that I haven't used in probably 10 years," the I Am Cait star admitted.
Kris recalled how she would often find her cosmetics missing, and would immediately blame it on her daughters.
"I would look for my makeup, and I would say, 'My kids stole my makeup!'" she remembered.
"And I would let them take the blame," Caitlyn added, laughing.

It was back in 2012 that Icelandic director Oskar Thor Axelsson burst on to the scene with crime thriller Black's Game. Boasting Nicolas Winding Refn as a producer Black's Game seemed to herald the arrival of a major new talent and we've been waiting on another feature from him ever since. It's not that Axelsson hasn't been working - he directed a very significant portion of Baltasar Kormakur's international hit TV series Trapped, for example - but sometimes the wheels move slowly and he's just back in the feature world now with I Remember You. Adapted from the novel by Yrsa Sigurdardottir I Remember You is an intriguing beast, a combination of Nordic Noir style crime thriller and superntural ghost story. An older lady hangs...

When I was eight years old, I was racing my new Tonka toy truck up and down the concrete sidewalk on my block. I was doing so by bending over and pushing the truck as fast as I could with both hands.
The truck slipped out of my hand, and my momentum carried me quite a bit before I came to a stop.
I was fortunate my clothing protected most of me. Unfortunately, most of me did not include my face. My head skidded face down. As a result, the sidewalk tore much of the skin off my face.
My mother had just learned to drive and wasn’t very good at it.
I didn’t help I was screaming and crying as was my sister. She was screaming and crying not so much because my face looked like it had been through a meat grinder but because my mother was screaming and crying.

Work is getting a little awkward for Lindsay and Halstead now, huh?
Actually, at first, it was a little weird that neither of them was talking about the elephant in the room, but as Chicago Pd Season 4 Episode 18 went on, it became clear there was tension in the air.
And when Voight started to pick up on it? Well, that's never a good thing.
Voight never liked the idea of the members of his team dating, but even he eventually had to accept that he had no control over it. He can control just about everything else in Intelligence, but not matters of the heart.
It was bad enough when things went south with Burgess and Ruzek, but at the time of their split, Burgess was still on patrol. If Lindsay and Halstead break up for good, will one of them be kicked out of Intelligence?
Voight: Trouble at home?...

Denzel Washington doesn’t remember exactly when he met Viola Davis — but she does. It was 21 years ago when Davis was starring in the 1996 Broadway production of August Wilson’s play Seven Guitars.
“He came and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I met Denzel Washington!'” Davis recalls to People alongside her Fences costar and fellow Oscar nominee. The two became better acquainted years later when Washington, 62, cast Davis, 51, in his 2002 directorial debut, Antwone Fisher.

So far, two movies have come out of Smith’s podcasting: first was Tusk, branching out from a SModcast episode about a Gumtree advert seeking someone willing to dress up as a walrus in exchange for lodgings. Justin Long starred in that one, with Smith’s daughter Harley Quinn Smith featuring in the supporting cast alongside her best friend Lily Rose Depp and her famous father Johnny Depp.

As Sing arrives in UK cinemas, we chat to its director, Garth Jennings, about lunchbreaks, the movie, and Roald Dahl.
I’m a huge fan of Garth Jennings’ work, from his milk-carton music videos to funny monkey TV ads, and into his feature films, The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy and Son Of Rambow. It’s been a long time coming but, after five years of work, Jennings’ third feature, Sing, is about to get its UK cinema release. When we caught up to chat last week, we talked about those five long years of hard work, about the projects that didn’t come together beforehand, and just a little of the plans that Jennings has for now. Here’s how our conversation went.

Why can't Cotton and Anne ever find happiness? I guess their love is doomed to be tortured.
Cotton's big escape on Salem Season 3 Episode 4 met every challenge you could think of to keep the preacher in town. Kidnapping, paternity twists, magic -- it was all on the menu. I did particularly like the introduction scene in the episode with Anne's warnings to Cotton and the special effects of her multiple personas. It showed every side to her and the reasons to keep him in Salem.
Cotton: I want nothing! I want nothing from you.
Anne: But there is nowhere for you to go.
Cotton: Boston. I will tell them the awful truth about Salem and they will raise this town!
Anne: Tell them everything?! Then they will hang you for the murder of your father.
Cotton: So let them hang me! So long as they believe, I will tell them all.

Ever since his debut feature Shotgun Stories, filmmaker Jeff Nichols has provided a voice for the South with films like Mud, Take Shelter and the action-thriller Midnight Special earlier this year. What he hadn’t done before was to tell a true story taken from a lesser-known part of the South, and a couple whose bravery helped lead to changes in the Constitution, specifically about men and women of different races being able to marry.
Nichols ended up writing and directing Loving, based on the true tale of Richard and Mildred Loving (as played by Joel Edgerton and Preacher’s Ruth Negga), who fall in love in Virginia in the late ‘50s. When she becomes pregnant, they go to Washington, DC to get married, essentially breaking Virginia laws about mixed race married couples. Upon returning home, they’re promptly arrested and the pregnant Mildred is thrown in jail, and they...

While still best-known for his screenwriting collaborations with Martin Scorsese (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and The Last Temptation of Christ), Paul Schrader has carved out a long, not entirely consistent, endlessly fascinating directorial career, the highlights of which include American Gigolo, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, and Light Sleeper — not to mention his delirious, Bruckheimer-produced Cat People remake. His latest — the “film of a free man,” so to speak — is Dog Eat Dog, whose ostentatious nihilism and political incorrectness may seem like a relic of the post-Pulp Fiction quirky-crime-film boom, but by the time it seemingly homages Seijun Suzuki in its finale, you know you’re in the hands of a pro.
In Toronto for the North American premiere, Schrader sat down with us to discuss the making of the film, the changing industry, and, of course, Nicolas Cage.

A version of this article originally appeared on EW.com.
Tuesday’s episode of This Is Us contained a simple story about Kate (Chrissy Metz) wanting to watch football all by herself before ultimately realizing that she’d have to incorporate her significant other into her weekly ritual if she wanted to move forward in her relationship.
And what Toby (Chris Sullivan) would realize is that Kate wasn’t actually watching football alone. She was cheering right alongside her father. Or at least his ashes.
Yes, “The Game Plan” revealed (or confirmed, depending on your speculation skills) that Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) is no longer alive.

In the last few years, there’s been a fantastic Renaissance in the Western genre with all sorts of new and more experienced filmmakers tackling the most American movie genre there is. With a name like “Ti West,” it was probably only a matter of time before the director of The Innkeepers and House of the Devil would try his hand at a Western.
The results are In A Valley of Violence, West’s gritty take on the “lone drifter comes to small town” Western subgenre. It stars Ethan Hawke as that drifter, who arrives in the ghost town of Denton and immediately falls afoul of Gilly (James Ransone from Tangerine), son of the town’s leader, Marshall, played by John Travolta. When Gilly and his men ambush Hawke’s character outside of town and commit a despicable act, it forces Hawke to return to Denton with his sole motivation being vengeance.
