Ayar’s choice to leave her family, all dispersed Central American immigrants now living in Los Angeles, for a sleazy singing gig in Las Vegas wasn’t, we learn, entirely hers. As flashbacks reveal, she was pulled into a kind of Pygmalion setup by an older man (Simon Haycock) with connections, deep pockets, and a penthouse with a view. But when she became pregnant, the relationship fizzled dramatically. This toxic transactional affair will prove ruinous for Ayar’s future....

Almost two months after Warner Bros. Discovery confirmed the DC film would be indefinitely shelved, lead star Leslie Grace shared a TikTok video of behind-the-scenes footage from filming. Grace plays Barbara Gordon in the film, which was expected to premiere on streamer HBO Max in early 2023. Michael Keaton, Brendan Fraser, and J.K. Simmons rounded out the cast. Grace shared scenes of herself in the makeup chair, practicing fight choreography, and co-star Fraser doing push-ups as character Firefly....

The mythology of this Adult Swim mainstay gets deeper by the chapter, not just with the unlikely grandfather/grandson team, but the flurry of details that whoosh by as they meet new characters of various sizes, species, and forms of matter. So, with a dense back catalogue to sift through, one big question remains: Where’s the best place to start? So, in a constant quest to help newcomers to the show find the ideal entry point into the series (and to prove to everyone the microverse car battery episode is vastly under-appreciated), we’ve collected every installment of the show and assembled them in a vaguely scientific ranking....

At age 19, the global superstar appeared in Jay Roach’s “Austin Powers in Goldmember” in 2002 as Foxxy Cleopatra, inspired by Pam Grier’s roles in ’70s blaxploitation films. Foxxy was an FBI agent who was previously romantically involved with Austin Powers (Mike Myers) and moonlights as a Studio 69 nightclub singer. The role marked Beyoncé’s first major film debut. Yet Beyoncé made sure that the marketing materials were up to par for both her image and Foxxy’s....

What’s different this year is a still-uncertain film industry that can take little for granted. Hollywood math is always fuzzy at best, but this year’s Cannes is particularly unpredictable because no one knows how to assess value when the market leaders are the unreadable streamers, studios are mired in flux of their own, and the adult audience remains AWOL in theaters. Hot title: Ruben Östlund’s in-Competition class satire “Triangle of Sadness”, despite mixed reviews....

“We were friends in the movie and we actually had a good friendship off camera to a point,” Farrell said while promoting the film on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” “And then it just kind of fell apart two-thirds of the way through.” Gleeson, who joined Farrell in promoting the film on the CBS late-night show, explained that Jenny kicked his co-star in his left knee during production. “It turned out she needed a little bit of space,” Gleeson said....

Production designer Ra Vincent spoke to IndieWire about building Stede’s ship, The Revenge, as a simplified, stage-ified vessel. Instead of using lots and lots of detailing in the set design and set dressing to make an image that looked so real viewers get sucked into the historical fiction, Vincent’s task was to create something that looked just real enough, but edit down any superfluous details. The Revenge convincingly evokes the show’s setting but also renders it a bit cartoonish and, crucially, harmless....
