Production of “The Correspondent” wrapped in Sydney, Australia after being directed by Kriv Stenders, who enjoyed major success in Australia with “Red Dog” and also directed hit “Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan.”
The film is based on Greste’s memoir “The First Casualty” and has an adapted screenplay by Peter Duncan.

A pre-teen girl retreats into a world of fantasy after witnessing a horrific sexual assault in this striking horror debut from acclaimed Australian artist Del Kathryn Barton. Superbly acted and consistently imaginative, it’s a powerfully moving coming-of-ager that uses magical realism to process deep-seated trauma.
Julia Savage plays 12-year-old Blaze, who lives in an Australian suburb with her widowed father Luke (Simon Baker). One day, in an alleyway on the way home from school, Blaze sees two adults (Josh Lawson and Yael Stone) arguing, which swiftly escalates into a violent rape and accidental murder.
Unable to process what she’s seen, Blaze retreats into her imagination, represented by a large, sequinned dragon in her bedroom and a collection of little toys. However, when she’s forced...

No 12-year-old should have to confront the violent act Blaze (Julia Savage) witnesses seven minutes into the imaginative empowerment story that bears her name. But Blaze is no ordinary girl, and fine artist-turned-filmmaker Del Kathryn Barton’s “Blaze” reflects that, using a dazzling combination of digital and practical effects to represent the interior world of a survivor who has long relied on make-believe to cope with an overwhelming world.
Produced by Australian elevated-horror shingle Causeway Films (“The Babadook”), “Blaze” marks the feature directing debut of a distinctive new voice, and though there’s a certain woodenness to the narrative, the visuals — glitter dreams of a 10-foot fuchsia dragon — radiate with originality. In the film’s prologue, we meet Blaze as a toddler, seated before a wall of Barton’s psychedelic paintings: five panels depicting nude goddesses entwined with radiant birdlike creatures. The artwork is colorful but unclear, though it’s...

The brainchild of Warwick Thornton and Brendan Fletcher, the eight-part series follows two Indigenous Australian hunters, Tyson (Collins) and Shanika (Barnes-Cowan), on their quest to battle the last colony of vampires in the middle of the Sa desert.

Simon Baker, Yael Stone, Josh Lawson and newcomer Julia Savage are among the key cast of director Del Kathryn Barton’s debut feature Blaze (formerly Puff), which recently wrapped shooting in Sydney.
Barton, a dual Archibald prize winner, wrote the script with Huna Amweero (Jade of Death), with the work inspired by Barton’s painting ‘sing blood-wings sing’, which was in turn inspired by Peter Paul and Mary song ‘Puff, the Magic Dragon’.
A hybrid work of live-action, VFX and animation, Blaze sees Savage plays a young girl who accidentally witnesses a woman being violently attacked, leaving her catatonic with shock and struggling to make sense of what she saw.
She retreats into imaginary worlds, where Zephyr, the shimmering magic dragon who has been her companion since childhood, allows her to activate her own rage and ultimately find renewal.
Also starring are Morgan Davies, Bernie Van Tiel, Remy Hii, John Waters,...

[This story contains major spoilers from the final season of Netflix's Orange Is the New Black.]
After a final season that explored the neurodiversity paradigm, Orange Is the New Black left two of its main inmates suffering irreparable cognitive damage after trauma in the series finale.

Warning: So many spoilers for Orange Is the New Black ahead!
We've been invested in Lorna Morello (Yael Stone) since the first episode of Orange Is the New Black. She's very welcoming to others, which is partly because she loves to talk, and is overall one of the sweetest inmates. However, she's obviously in Litchfield Penitentiary for a reason. We thought we knew everything there was to know about her at this point, but there's a major piece of her past that might explain her behavior in the past and in season seven.
First off, Lorna was sent to prison because she stalked a man named Christopher, whom she went on one date with. Her behavior escalated to planting a device in his girlfriend's car to try to kill her. However, she tells her fellow inmates that her and Christopher are engaged and happily planning their wedding.

‘Orange Is the New Black’ Review: Social Commentary Meshes With Melodrama As the Final Season Begins
[Editor’s note: The review contains spoilers for “Orange Is The New Black” Season 7, Episode 1: Beginning of the End.]
The final season of “Orange Is the New Black” arrives on Netflix today and spoiler alert: Things get emotional.
Episode 1 kicks off with Piper (Taylor Schilling) trying her best to adjust to her newfound freedom — but as we’ve seen with other characters over the years, life outside Litchfield Correctional Facility isn’t exactly easy. Besides living with her brother, his wife and their infant daughter in a cramped apartment, tension with her father, money troubles, and being on probation add to Piper’s roadblocks. The latter provides a keyhole-sized look into the struggle that real ex-cons face with acclimating back into society while caught in the financial spin cycle of struggling to survive. Granted, Piper got herself into this mess so there’s no feeling sorry for her — at least she’s physically free.

Say it ain't so! The end of Orange Is the New Black is almost here, and on Thursday, the cast came together to celebrate the show's seventh and final season at the NYC world premiere. The group - which included Taylor Schilling, Laura Prepon, Uzo Aduba, Natasha Lyonne, Danielle Brooks, Laverne Cox, Yael Stone, Selenis Leyva, Jason Biggs, Jackie Cruz, Jessica Pimentel, and Diane Guerrero - served their best looks as they hit the red carpet, and we almost shed a tear at the mere thought that this might be the last time we see the cast all together.
Ahead of the premiere, Danielle (who is currently expecting her first child) shared a photo of her red carpet evolution on Instagram, reflecting on her first-ever Oitnb premiere. "It was my first carpet Ever and my teeth wouldn't stop chattering because I was sooo nervous. All these pictures hold a story...

Orange Is the New Black was technically the second of Netflix’s original series to debut, arriving five months after House of Cards in 2013. But where Cards was exactly the kind of antihero drama that had been made for years on cable TV (Netflix in fact won a bidding war with HBO for it), Orange felt like something new in almost every way. As the women’s prison drama enters its seventh and final season this week, it feels right to celebrate it as the first series explicitly designed for the streaming era,...

‘Orange Is the New Black': The Magic Chicken Makes a Surprise Return in Final Season Trailer (Video)
“Orange Is the New Black” returns for its seventh and final season next month, and the new trailer promises at least one major character will make a reappearance. Yes, that’s right, the chicken is back.
Longtime fans of the show will remember a particularly affecting Season 1 episode in which Piper (Taylor Schilling), in the process of adjusting to her new life in prison, grew obsessed with a chicken that had somehow made its way into the prison’s perimeter. She later discovered the bird to be a Lichfield urban legend, subject of rumor and skepticism.
And now, the chicken is back. In the full-length trailer for the Netflix drama’s final season, debuting July 26, Suzanne (Uzo Aduba) is the one comes face-to-face with the elusive fowl.
“This is a special chicken,” she says in the clip. “This is a magical chicken.”

In a decision issued Thursday, Geoffrey Rush prevailed in the defamation lawsuit against Sydney newspaper The Daily Telegraph that he filed in 2017.
In a strongly worded judgment published by The Guardian, Federal Court Justice Michael Wigney said that the Telegraph had published a “recklessly irresponsible piece of sensational journalism of the worst kind.” Wigney also said “there are a number of aspects to the evidence which raise significant issues” about the credibility of Rush’s accuser, who Wigney called “prone to exaggeration and embellishment.”
Rush has been awarded a minimum of $850,000 Aud — approximately $610,000 Usd — in initial damages, with further damages to be determined at a later date, according to ABC Australia.

Yael Stone, an Australian actress best known for her starring role on Netflix’s comedy-drama series “Orange Is the New Black,” has accused Geoffrey Rush of sexual harassment. In an interview with The New York Times, Stone alleges Rush acted inappropriately with her while they worked together on a 2010 production of “The Diary of a Madman” in Sydney, Australia.

“Orange Is the New Black” star Yael Stone has come forward with accusations of sexual misconduct against veteran actor Geoffrey Rush.
In a story published by the New York Times Sunday, Stone, who plays Lorna Morello on the Netflix comedy, detailed incidents between her and Rush she says occurred when they co-starred in a production of “The Diary of a Madman” together, eight years ago in Sydney, Australia. She was 25 years old at the time and Rush was 59.
Stone’s claims that Rush sent her inappropriate text messages, tried to watch her shower, and exposed his penis to her while working on the show, come months after Rush sued an Australian tabloid for defamation over sexual misconduct claims made against him by an unidentified “King Lear” co-star, who was later revealed to be Eryn Jean Norvill.
