Today the film world mourns a giant and welcomes back a long-absent voice. Brenda Fricker, the first Irish actress to win an Oscar, has died at 81. Meanwhile, Andrei Zvyagintsev breaks a nine-year silence with a film about Russia's moral collapse. A quieter day, but not an empty one.
Two stories that bookend a career: the end of one, the re-emergence of another.
Brenda Fricker, Oscar winner for 'My Left Foot' and the first Irish actress to win the award, has died at 81. Multiple outlets are covering her death, which marks the end of a career that spanned from 'Coronation Street' to Hollywood.
Andrei Zvyagintsev returns after nine years with a drama about a Russian businessman's violent breakdown amid the Ukraine war. The interview covers how the invasion shaped the film and his battle with Covid during production.
New films take shape, from secret Daniels projects to a silent comedy.
The Daniels' secret new film is still under wraps, but it will star Matt Damon, Sandra Oh, and pop star PinkPantheress. That's a wild combo, and the secrecy suggests something weird is coming.
Sophie Simnett joins 'The Candidate,' a black-and-white silent comedy with a dance interlude, styled after the Chaplin era. It's the feature debut of Mark Bell, known for the stage hit 'The Play That Goes Wrong.'
Production wrapped on indie R-rated comedy 'How The Cookie Crumbles,' starring Giorgia Whigham, Trevor Wallace, Alyssa Milano, and Shea Whigham. It's the first feature from Range Media Partners co-founder Jack Whigham.
