Netflix finds the way to Sesame Street

Netflix has acquired global streaming rights to Sesame Street, the genre-defining children's television series that's been entertaining and educating young viewers for over 50 years. The pickup comes six months after Warner Bros. Discovery opted to not renew its streaming deal for Sesame Street, leaving the show's future in jeopardy. But the crisis is averted, and Sesame Street Season 56 will premiere later this year on Netflix. According to Netflix, the new season will feature format changes and the return of popular segments like "Elmo’s World" and "Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck." Additionally, episodes will be built around one longer, 11-minute story. Netflix has exclusive worldwide premiere rights, but episodes will continue to be available day-and-date on PBS stations in the U.S. and across PBS Kids digital platforms. Netflix will also be able to develop video games...

The 2025 Cannes Film Festival is underway with Leave One Day by first-time French filmmaker Amelie Bonnin serving as the opening-night pic.

Indie distributor Mubi is said to have paid upwards of $20m for Lynne Ramsay’s drama Die, My Love, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson.

Following its premiere at Cannes over the weekend, director Lynne Ramsay’s intense-sounding drama Die, My Love has picked up strong reviews and, it turns out, one of the festival’s biggest deals so far. Various outlets, including The Hollywood Reporter, have shared the news that Mubi has signed an eight-figure contract to distribute Ramsay’s film in multiple territories; how much the deal is worth varies slightly, but most agree that the price tag is around the $24m mark.

Based on Ariana Harwicz’s novel, Die, My Love stars Jennifer Lawrence as a mother battling post-partum depression; Robert Pattinson plays the husband, while Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte and Lakeith Stansfield all co-star. Reviews have been positive so far, with Lawrence’s raw portrayal of...

Near the climax of Lynne Ramsay’s You Were Never Really Here, two assassins––one well-dressed but dying, the other ragged but definitely alive––laid together on a kitchen floor, their hands lightly touching as Charlene’s “Never Been to Me” drifted in from a nearby radio, the lyrics barely escaping the wounded man’s mouth. That shock of counterpoint elevated what was, until then, a clinically well-executed revenge picture into something approaching the sublime. Ramsay plays that card again with less-convincing results in her long-awaited follow-up Die My Love, a visceral, coiled film about a woman in the throws of a mental breakdown. As ever, Ramsay’s soundtrack choices are equal-parts fun and unpredictable, not least David Bowie’s “Kooks” on a car radio or the director herself warbling an acoustic cover of “Love Will Tear Us Apart” over the closing credits––fitting choice for a work of toxic...

Art house distributor and streamer Mubi has struck a deal to buy the rights to Lynne Ramsay’s Die, My Love, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, for North America and additional territories in a first big deal at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

Mubi also picked up the film for the U.K., Ireland, Italy, Spain, Benelux, Latin America, India, Turkey, Australia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand.

It is understood that the deal has a $24 million price tag.

Patrick Wachsberger’s 193 brokered the deal with CAA Media FinanceIt is the first big deal for 193 since Wachsberger launched his new company earlier this year.

The movie world premiered at Cannes on Saturday evening, followed by a star-studded premiere party.

Sissy Spacek brought her Texas charm to Cannes, where the Oscar winner regaled an intimate crowd with stories from her 50-plus- year career.

The conversation was lively and funny, with the actress discussing her defining role in 1976’s Carrie and nearly missing out on Lynne Ramsay’s current Cannes title, Die, My Love.

It was all part of the fourth annual live Cannes taping of the Awards Chatter podcast, hosted by Scott Feinberg, THR’s executive editor of awards.

Spacek first met Carrie director Brian De Palma through her husband, famed production designer Jack Fisk. The night before her audition, she stayed up late, rereading the Stephen King novel it was based upon, and “feeling very tortured.” She showed up to the audition looking rough, in full Carrie mode. She put Vaseline in her hair and wore a torn dress. After the screen test, she was certain she’d blown her chance.

In the first on-site acquisition of a Competition title in Cannes this year, Mubi has paid $24m for North America and multiple territories on Lynne Ramsay’s Palme d’Or contenderDie, My Love starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson.

Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattison Hit the Red Carpet

“Die, My Love,” the long-awaited new film from Lynne Ramsay, premiered Saturday and stars Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattison were on hand to welcome it to the world.

The stars, who had each anchored their own beloved YA franchise long ago, attended the premiere alongside their director (this is the Scottish director’s first feature since 2017’s brilliant “You Were Never Really Here”) with Sissy Spacek, Mariska Hargitay and someone dressed as a turkey – or maybe it was a condor? It’s a little unclear.

Exclusive: Mubi has won out in a multi-distributor tug of war for Jennifer Lawrence’s Cannes Competition film Die My Love, we understand. The voracious buyer is taking domestic and multiple international rights.

The deal is for $24 million, with full domestic theatrical commitment on 1,500 screens for 45 days, we hear. The territories were: North America, Latin America, UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Benelux, Turkey, India, Australia and New Zealand. It’s the first major deal on the ground for a film playing at Cannes and by far Mubi’s biggest acquisition ever.

Lawrence and Robert Pattinson took to the Cannes red carpet Saturday night for the world premiere of the drama from director Lynne Ramsay (You Were Never Really Here). This is a big one for Mubi and its chief Jason Ropell, coming after its breakout work last Oscar season on The Substance. We hear the bidding on this one was fevered,...

The new psychological drama starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson has been well-received by critics. While Pattinson is perhaps best known for his franchise roles including Edward Cullen in the Twilight movies, Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Bruce Wayne in The Batman, he has also starred in a variety of titles from auteur directors. This includes Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse, Christopher Nolan's Tenet, Bong Joon Ho's Mickey 17, David Cronenberg's Maps to the Stars, and Claire Denis' High Life.

Jennifer Lawrence movies have taken Pattinson's co-star on a similar career trajectory. She has held two major long-running franchise roles, playing Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games movies and Mystique in the most recent branch of the X-Men franchise, prior to the characters joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, she first rose to prominence off the back of her Oscar-nominated performance in 2010's Winter's Bone,...

Ramsay, 55, was impressed by the writing and the background subject of post-natal depression featuring a young couple with a baby (played in the film by Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence) who seem to be stuck in a dreamlike web of sex, passion and wildness.

It was a star-studded soirée in Cannes last night as The Hollywood Reporter, with Longines, hosted the official afterparty of Lynne Ramsay thriller Die, My Love.

Robert Pattinson arrived straight from the Palais premiere — where the film was recipient of a warm, six-minute standing ovation — and Lakeith Stanfield came soon after, breaking out some dance moves as carpet photos were taken. Jennifer Lawrence joined later in the evening on the arm of Longines CEO Matthias Breschan.

Among other arrivals was Eddington star Joaquin Phoenix and wife Rooney Mara, who together blocked Pedro Pascal, also in Ari Aster’s pandemic-era film, from snapping any photos. Dakota Johnson, set to feature in Celine Song’s hotly-anticipated Materialists this coming summer, as well as “brat” queen Charli Xcx and German actor Matthias Schweighöfer also joined to celebrate Ramsay’s new movie.

As unflinching a film about postpartum as you’ll ever see, “Die, My Love,” the haunting new work from acclaimed filmmaker Lynne Ramsay, has marked a long-anticipated return for the director eight years after her last film, 2017’s “You Were Never Really Here.”

Premiering Saturday night in Cannes to largely rave reviews, it’s a film that centers on Jennifer Lawrence’s Grace as she finds herself trying to raise a child almost entirely alone in a remote Montana home, an experience the actress said is about her world “peeling away.” The film, Lawrence said at a Cannes press conference on Sunday morning, resonated on a personal level after she had a child herself.

“As a mother, it was really hard to separate what I would do as opposed to what she would do. It was just heartbreaking.” Lawrence said at the press conference alongside Ramsay and co-stars Robert Pattinson,...

Jennifer Lawrence gives one of her most all-consuming and risky performances as a writer crashing down badly from postpartum in the countryside in Lynne Ramsay’s “Die My Love.” The Cannes Competition premiere is an adaptation of Ariana Harwicz’s 2017 novel, which Lawrence and her Excellent Cadaver production team sent to Ramsay a couple of years ago, hoping the “We Need to Talk About Kevin” filmmaker would want to direct it. The dark, intensely subjective drama is Ramsay’s first film since 2017 Cannes screenplay winner “You Were Never Really Here,” and it’s looking for a distributor.

“There’s not really anything like postpartum. It’s extremely isolating,” Lawrence said at Sunday’s Cannes press conference when asked about her character, Grace. “Lynne moves this couple into Montana. She doesn’t have a community. She doesn’t have her people, but the truth is, extreme anxiety and extreme depression [are] isolating no matter where you are.

Jennifer Lawrence said having children has “changed her creatively” at the Cannes press conference forLynne Ramsay’s Competition entryDie, My Love.

Lawrence and co-star Robert Pattinson discussed the film in the context of their own parenthood.

“Having children changes everything, it changes your whole life, it’s brutal and incredible,” said Lawrence. “Not only do they go into every decision of if I’m working, where, when – I didn’t know that I could feel so much.

“My job has a lot to do with emotion,” continued Lawrence. “They’ve opened up the world to me. It’s almost like feeling like a blister,...

Jennifer Lawrence said being naked on the first day was the hardest part of shooting Lynne Ramsay’s Cannes Competition entry Die, My Love.

“I think I have an easy answer to this one,” said Lawrence at the film’s press conference, in response to a journalist asking which was the hardest day on set. “The day before our first day, Lynne showed Rob [Pattinson, co-star] and I a scene from If…. It was these actors, and they’re attacking each other like tigers.”

“We were like ‘Ok’,” said Lawrence. “And [Ramsay] said, ‘And you’ll do it naked, yeah?”

“That was the first day.

Die, My Love, directed by Lynne Ramsay and adapted from Ariana Harwicz’s novel, stars Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson as Grace and Jackson. They arrive at Jackson’s late uncle’s forested estate eager to forge a new life, only to find parenthood unspools into something darker.

Ramsay’s film unfolds as a sensory odyssey, where narrative beats are driven as much by mood and visual rhythm as by plot. Early scenes ripple with domestic warmth—the couple dancing to a crackling record player, sharing quiet laughter—yet those moments are undercut by the house’s creaking halls and whispered winds that echo Grace’s unsettled mind.

Pacing shifts purposefully: long, static takes let tension thicken, then rapid, jarring cuts thrust us into Grace’s hallucinatory episodes. That push-and-pull mirrors the mechanical tension in a game like Silent Hill 2, where atmosphere and player agency collide to evoke dread.

The cast of Lynne Ramsay’s Die, My Love got vulnerable about how parenthood has changed their lives while speaking at the movie’s Sunday press conference.

The talent came straight from the Palais premiere Saturday night — where they were recipients of a warm six-minute standing ovation — to The Hollywood Reporter-hosted afterparty at Cannes hotspot Salama.

The film, an adaptation of Ariana Harwicz’s 2017 novel of the same name — with the action relocated from France to Montana — was co-written and directed by Scotswoman Ramsay and was co-produced by Lawrence in her most ambitious performance in years. Through the two-hour film, Lawrence plays a new mother (Grace) who develops postpartum depression and begins going in and out of psychosis.

Robert Pattinson plays her husband, Jackson, Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte play his parents, and Oscar nominee Lakeith Stanfield also stars.

Lawrence — mother to two children now — was visibly emotional talking...

Based on the reaction to Lynne Ramsay’s Die, My Love at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, the first significant Oscar-caliber performance of the year has arrived thanks to Jennifer Lawrence.

“Cannes is a festival where Oscar narratives typically start to take shape, and while it’s far too early to make predictions, Lawrence has announced herself as an early frontrunner,” wrote The Daily Beast in an unbylined review (although critic Esther Zuckerman has filed several reviews for the outlet this week from France). “Die, My Love still has yet to find distribution, but it inevitably will get picked up with a big campaign in place. The second coming of Jennifer Lawrence is here and it’s astounding.”

In the headline for his review, Vanity Fair critic Richard Lawson called Lawrence “astonishing.”

“What keeps our attention during the film’s slightly sagging middle, and makes it such bracing viewing,...

Lynne Ramsay has never shown much interest in making films that are easy to digest, her hard-edged psychological dramas refusing to offer comfort or provide tidy answers for the messy questions arising out of her characters’ upended lives. The uncompromising Scottish director has not gone soft in her jagged fifth feature, Die My Love. Giving a no-holds-barred performance that careens between disturbed reality and disturbing fantasy, blurring any dividing lines that separate them, Jennifer Lawrence plays a woman transplanted to the wide-open spaces of rural America, where marriage, motherhood and domesticity close in on her, chipping away at her sanity.

While screenwriters Enda Walsh, Ramsay and Alice Burch relocate Argentine writer Ariana Harwicz’s Lynchian 2012 debut novel from the French countryside, they stay true to its piercing focus on a woman battling her demons in a state of increasingly feverish isolation — whether she’s alone or in a room full of people.

Pity the poor baby or yapping canine that gets in the way of the young couple played by Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson whose toxic spiral of physical and mental abuse and self-harm catapult them down the rocky road to domestic meltdown.

Adapted from the novel Die, My Love by Ariana Harwicz it’s an uneasy watch, ostensibly spurred in Lawrence’s character by post-natal depression and in her partner by his attempts to calm things down which only result in upping the ante.

The couple, Grace and Jackson, have moved in to an isolated home in the forests of upstate New York, an inheritance from his late uncle. The trouble begins after Grace gives birth to a baby son and starts exhibiting signs of mental disorder (crawling around outside on all fours clutching a knife is just one of the signs). Jackson’s mother (Sissy Spacek) insists that probably it is a passing phase.

Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson took to the Cannes red carpet this evening for the world premiere of new film Die My Love, directed by Lynne Ramsay (You Were Never Really Here).

The Competition movie is based on the 2017 novel by Ariana Harwicz and also stars Lakeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte.

Set in rural America, the film is a portrait of a married woman’s mental disintegration as post-natal depression consumes and obliterates her. Pattinson plays her husband, and Stanfield her lover.

In Deadline’s review, Damon Wise was impressed by Ramsay’s “mesmerizing film,” describing it as a “brutal but beautiful story.” As for many critics, Lawrence proved the star of the show. “America knows very well how good Jennifer Lawrence can be,” Wise wrote, “and this could well mean a fifth Oscar nomination if it lands in savvy hands.” But Ramsay also comes in for particular...

Die, My Love, one of the most hotly anticipated sales titles in competition at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, had its world premiere at the Grand Théâtre Lumière on Saturday night, and garnered a six-minute standing ovation.

In the genre-blending two-hour film, Lawrence plays a new mother who develops postpartum depression and begins going in and out of psychosis. Robert Pattinson plays her husband; Oscar winner Sissy Spacek and Oscar nominee Nick Nolte play his parents; and Oscar nominee Lakeith Stanfield also stars.

One of the starrier titles to hit the Croisette this week, Lynne Ramsay’s Die My Love just had its debut at the Palais, earning a nine-minute ovation.

Set in rural America, Die My Love is the portrait of a woman engulfed by love and madness. Pattinson plays her husband, and Stanfield her lover.

Known for her Cannes drama Ratcatcher, as well as films like We Need to Talk About Kevin and Morvern Callar, Ramsay’s last movie, thriller You Were Never Really Here, starred Joaquin Phoenix and won her the Cannes Best Screenplay award in 2017.

Jennifer Lawrence has electrified the Cannes Film Festival with the world premiere of “Die, My Love,” the latest directorial effort from the acclaimed Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay. The movie earned a six-minute ovation following its world premiere. “Die, My Love” is in competition at Cannes and competing for the Palme d’Or.

As the audience applauded, Ramsay cut her own ovation short, struck with emotion.

“Wow. I’m so overwhelmed. Thanks to these amazing actors. I’ve got to get it together, I’ll see you in a minute,” she said, breaking into a run up the aisle and out of the Palais.

In the film, Lawrence and her co-star Robert Pattinson proved worthy adversaries, who bicker and screw their way into emotional oblivion in Ramsay’s tense portrait of a woman undone. The crowd at Cannes viscerally reacted to Lawrence’s self-inflicted violence — smashing her head into mirrors, jumping...

Die My Love, Lynne Ramsay’s fifth film, ends with a familiar song sung by an unfamiliar voice: The director herself delivers a stripped-down version of Joy Division’s 1980 hit “Love Will Tear Us Apart.” Marital-breakdown songs are usually the stuff of country and western, but this stark post-punk anthem was written by Manchester’s Ian Curtis, who married at 19 in 1975 and was dead, by suicide, a month before his most famous song was released, 45 years ago, almost to the day (if you’re reading this during Cannes 2025). Ramsay’s mesmerizing film is as close as you might get to seeing Curtis’ song come to life, the brutal but beautiful story of a married woman’s mental disintegration as post-natal depression consumes and obliterates her.

The famous saying has it that hell is other people, but here, hell for other people is Grace (Jennifer Lawrence), a big-city author who has...

Lawrence excels as a woman whose bipolar disorder is exacerbated by husband Robert Pattinson’s infidelity, with super-strength direction from Lynne Ramsay

Lynne Ramsay brings the Gothic-realist steam heat, some violent shocks and deafening music slams to this movie, adapted by her with co-writers Alice Birch and Enda Walsh from the 2012 novel by Ariana Harwicz. It’s a ferociously intense study of a lonely, passionate woman and her descent into bipolar disorder as she is left alone all day with a new baby in a rambling Montana house originally belonging to her husband’s uncle, who took his own life in a gruesome way that we are not permitted to discover until some way into the movie.

Die, My Love is another film to remind you that Ramsay believes you should make movies the way Vs Naipaul believed you should write books: from a position of strength. There is, simply,...

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen Jennifer Lawrence doing any of the debasing things she does in Lynne Ramsay’s “Die My Love,” like crawling on all fours through a field of grass, a kitchen knife in hand as she closes in on her character Grace’s newborn baby, or masturbating gloomily in a state of postpartum doom while her husband Jackson (Robert Pattinson) finishes cooking dinner downstairs, a self-induced orgasm timed to the spring of a toaster below.

Grace is just trying to be a good wife, a good mother, but she’s failing spectacularly at it in Ramsay’s alternately absorbing, exhausting tone poem of post-birth grief turned into psychosexual frenzy. Lawrence — whose fearless skill in conjuring women gone perilously over the verge and unhinged from top to toe while trying to play house was already established in Darren Aronofsky’s “mother!” — gives the kind of...

Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson are at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of their new movie!

The 34-year-old Oscar-winning actress, and new mom of 2, posed for photos with her 39-year-old co-star at the premiere of Die, My Love on Saturday evening (May 17) held at Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France.

For the big event, Jennifer wowed in a white gown while Rob looked sharp in a black tux.

Also in attendance were fellow cast members Lakeith Stanfield and Sissy Spacek along with director Lynne Ramsay.

Die, My Love is set in rural America and is “a portrait of a woman engulfed by love and madness.” As of right now, the movie doesn’t have a release date.

Earlier this month, Rob attended a Met Gala afterparty with fiancée Suki Waterhouse.

In 2015, Molly Smith, Trent Luckinbill and Thad Luckinbill — founders of the film finance and production company Black Label Media — experienced the “deafening” roar of their first Cannes ovation as producers on “Sicario.” In the decade since, the company has evolved from a fledgling outfit to a major player, arriving on the Croisette with Lynne Ramsay’s hotly anticipated “Die, My Love,” starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson.

“We’ve just watched the business change so much, yet at the same time, it feels almost full circle,” Smith said. “Indie film and the way we were putting movies together in the beginning feels like it’s back in full force.”

Added Trent Luckinbill: “We started out being a filmmaker-driven company, and we got lucky in the beginning to work with great names like Denis Villeneuve and Jean-Marc Vallée. We haven’t changed that mission. We’ve stuck to our guns on...

On the eve of a Cannes Film Festival world premiere, it would be understandable, and so easily forgiven, if you encountered the cast, filmmaker and creative collaborators behind a competition entry and found them to be nervous, on edge or maybe a little jittery. Not Lynne Ramsay and her team from Die, My Love.

The emotions radiating on Friday at sunset from the beloved Cannes auteur, her roster of producers and stars including Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, Lakeith Stanfield and Sissy Spacek are best described as calm, cool and confident on what proved to be one of those picture perfect evenings on the French Riviera. Even a light mist vanished in time for cocktail hour atop La Terrasse by Albane at the J.W. Marriott during an exclusive filmmaker dinner in honor of Die, My Love sponsored by Longines and presented by The Hollywood Reporter.

Die, My Love? Not so fast.

When Martin Scorsese’s book club read Argentinian author Ariana Harwicz’s novel Die, My Love, about a new mother living in the countryside who unravels when she develops post-partum depression, the director immediately envisioned a film version in which Jennifer Lawrence, with whom he was keen to work, would play the lead.

Itwas the summer of 2020 and Scorsese sent the novel to Lawrence’s New production outfit Excellent Cadaver that she runs with Justine Ciarrocchi.

“He was adamant no-one could pull off Grace like [Lawrence] could,” Ciarrocchi told Screen.

Given that (a) the Cannes Film Festival always takes place in mid-May, (b) Primetime Emmy nominations voting always begins in mid-June, and (c) Cannes draws a large cross-section of the entertainment industry and press, it has always made sense for Emmy hopefuls to show up on the Croisette. But arguably, never have more made the pilgrimage than this year.

They have come — or will be coming — for a wide variety of reasons.

Robert De Niro, a best actor in a limited or anthology series or a TV movie contender for Netflix’s Zero Day, who usually does everything he can to avoid the spotlight, jetted in to collect an honorary Palme d’Or on opening night, May 13, and the following day participated in a rendez-vous about his career.

The Cannes Film Festival is once again lighting up the French Riviera, rolling out its iconic red carpet for filmmakers from around the globe. Now in its 78th year, the festival remains a gold standard for cinema, where new voices rise and seasoned auteurs return with ambitious projects.

Running from May 13 to May 24, 2025, this edition features 22 films vying for the prestigious Palme d’Or. Among those shaking things up are female directors, including Julia Ducournau, back after her 2021 Palme d’Or win for Titane, now presenting Alpha, a horror piece set against the backdrop of the AIDS epidemic.

While the competition lineup is stacked with potential gems, there’s something particularly buzz-worthy about a few select titles. Here’s a closer look at ten films that are causing a stir at Cannes 2025.

Contrary to what people might think, springtime can be very horrifying, and there are more than a few horror films that embody the season of spring. Horror doesn’t always have to be focused on dark atmospheres and a lack of color to be scary. In fact, some classic horror films have daytime settings for a majority of the film’s runtime. Of course, you can watch these horror films at any time of year, and they’ll still be effective. However, sometimes a themed marathon makes for a good time. And yes, that occasionally means horror films that fold into the seasons we’re currently in. The following films are horror films most of us know as well as lesser-discussed films because why not?

Lynne Ramsey first turned heads in Cannes with her stunning 1999 feature debut Ratcatcher, about a 12-year-old boy growing up in poverty in the Glasgow housing projects. The Scottish director returned to the Croisette three years later with Morvern Callar, graduating to the official competition with We Need to Talk About Kevin in 2011 and You Were Never Really Here in 2017. Admirers have had a long wait for Ramsey’s fifth feature, a thriller with a vein of comedy she describes as “dark and fucked-up,” starring Jennifer Lawrence as a new mother walloped by postpartum depression,...

The Cannes Film Festival is nearly here and while it’s easy to get swept up in the glitz and glamor and very big yachts, there’s another, equally important side to the festival as a marketplace for films from all over the world seeking distribution.

And there are some very big movies at this year’s festival which don’t have distribution, either domestically or internationally, that are very much worth keeping an eye on. They could be some of the festival’s biggest splashes.

The 34-year-old Hunger Games actress enjoyed the sunny weather as she went for a walk around the neighborhood on Sunday afternoon (May 11) in New York City.

For her outing, Jennifer went comfy and casual in a blue T-shirt and black pants while carrying a yellow bag.

It was recently announced that Jennifer‘s new movie Die, My Love will be premiering at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, which begins on May 13.

The movie – which also stars Robert Pattinson, Lakeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte – is set in rural America and is “a portrait of a woman engulfed by love and madness.”

Jennifer is expected to attend the Cannes Film Festival to promote the movie, and it will mark her first event appearance since welcoming her second child with hubby Cooke Maroney!

Norton changed Carrie White (Sissy Spacek)’s iconic prom dress from red in the Stephen King novel to pink in the 1976 film to better contrast the bucket of blood dumped on her that unleashes her telekinetic rage.

In a 2016 interview with Birth Movies Death for the film’s 40th anniversary, Norton explained why she went with a 1930s-inspired look for the dress. “At the time, prom dresses and bridesmaid dresses and things were very fussy.

Rosanna Norton, who was Oscar-nominated for costume design for 1982’s “Tron” and designed Sissy Spacek’s iconic prom dress for “Carrie,” died of cancer May 7 in Los Angeles. She was 80.

Her early costume design credits include Terrence Malick’s “Badlands” and Brian de Palma’s “Carrie” and “Phantom of the Paradise.”

“We had no money,” she recalled in a video interview about “Carrie.” She found many of the prom outfits in a store in the Valley that was going out of business, she said. But she had Carrie’s simple pale pink satin dress custom-made by a seamstress after changing the color from the original red in the book to create a more striking contrast with the blood that is splashed on Spacek.

“At the time, prom dresses and bridesmaid dresses and things were very fussy. They had all these ruffles and detail and I wanted to do….a bias...

Winning the Palme d’Or for your previous film is a pretty high bar to clear for your next. It’s also among the best problems any filmmaker could have. Four years after Spike Lee’s jury handed the coveted prize to the first female filmmaker in Cannes history––and one of the most violent films to ever take home a Palme––maverick...

The Hollywood Reporter and Campari are pleased to invite attendees of the upcoming Cannes Film Festival to a very special event: a live recording of THR’s Awards Chatter podcast with the legendary actress Sissy Spacek, featuring an hourlong conversation about Spacek’s life and career, followed by a cocktail reception.

Spacek, who will be at the fest as a star of the competition film/sales title Die, My Love — which was directed by Lynne Ramsay and also stars Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattison and Nick Nolte — will be interviewed by yours truly Saturday, May 17, in the Campari Lounge, a chic venue inside the Palais that overlooks the Croisette. Doors open at 10:30 a.m., recording begins at 11 a.m., local time.

Given the venue’s limited space, those wishing to attend are encouraged to RSVP via this link as soon as possible.

Spacek, 75, has been a revered actress for more than 50 years.

Carrie, the subject of author Stephen King’s first published novel and one of the greatest female icons in the horror genre, is coming back – and this time Mike Flanagan is the one taking her to prom. It was announced last October that Flanagan was working with King to turn the story of Carrie into an eight episode series that will be released through Amazon’s Prime Video service. Flanagan is executive producing the series with Trevor Macy. Deadline noted at the time, “They’re opening a writer’s room, so this one’s happening quickly.” Three weeks ago, the show received the official greenlight from Prime Video. Now, Deadline reports that Matthew Lillard (Scream) is in talks to join the cast. Details on the character he will be playing have not been revealed.

Last month, we heard that Milly Shapiro, who is best known for her role in Hereditary...

Scream star Matthew Lillard is considering a role in the upcoming Carrie television series in development from Mike Flanagan for Amazon.

Deadline reports that the star has been considering teaming up with Flanagan again for the show, which is based on Stephen King's iconic horror novel. Lillard has previously worked with Flanagan on The Life of Chuck, an acclaimed film based on a King novella that will premiere this June. Flanagan frequently works with actors more than once, so this casting would make sense.

Per the outlet, there hasn't been any update on who Lillard would be playing in the series, but there aren't that many adult male options in the story. It seems likely that he would play the school's principal or maybe a teacher. Either way, I'm guessing Lillard's part will be somewhat small since Carrie's biggest parts are dedicated to Carrie herself, her mother, Carrie's teen tormentors,...

After joining Prime Video's Cross for its second season, Matthew Lillard is sticking around the Amazon-owned streaming service for its upcoming adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie.

According to Deadline, Lillard has entered talks to join Carrie, although character details remain undisclosed at this time. If he does end up joining the hotly anticipated reboot, it would reunite him with Mike Flanagan, his director on the upcoming The Life of Chuck, which is coincidentally also based on a King story. Lillard's Carrie casting also comes roughly two months after he landed a recurring role in the second season of Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again.

While Lillard has worked steadily in Hollywood since 1990, the actor remains best known for two of his earliest roles — Stu Macher/Ghostface in Scream (1996) and Shaggy Rogers in Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004). He is expected to reprise his role as the former in the upcoming Scream 7,...

The Scream King continues his reign. Matthew Lillard has officially secured his next takeover in a horror project, with Deadline revealing that the Scream actor is in talks to star in Mike Flanagan’s series adaptation of Carrie. The project would mark a reunion for the pair, who worked alongside one another on the upcoming The Life of Chuck, which, like Carrie, is also a Stephen King adaptation. It’s incredibly exciting news for audiences who have loved watching Lillard take over the genre since his standout role as psychotic killer Stu Macher in Wes Craven’s iconic, franchise-starting 1996 film, Scream — a role that he’s set to reprise in 2026’s Kevin Williamson-helmed Scream 7.

As of right now, no specific details surrounding Lillard’s Carrie character have been confirmed. However, we know that the actor woulld join a lineup of talent that also includes new-to-the-scene Summer H. Howell,...
