Sovereign is proud to announce that award-winning Mexican director Amat Escalante’s powerful thriller Lost In The Night received its UK premiere at the 2023 BFI London Film Festival, as part of the ‘Thrill’ section, and now the film is available to rent/buy on Amazon Prime Video in the UK.
From acclaimed Mexican director Amat Escalante, following Heli, for which he won Best Director at Cannes in 2013, and The Untamed, which won him the Best Director prize at Venice in 2016, comes Lost In The Night, a taut, engrossing thriller that blends traditional elements of Latin American cinema with astute social commentary on Mexican society and contemporary influencer culture.
The film, which premiered at Cannes this year, stars Juan Daniel García Treviño (Narcos México), and Latin American influencer superstar Ester Expósito, who has 27 million followers, and features a superb score by Stranger Things composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein.

Seven years after his mesmerizing sci-fi drama on extraterrestrial sex, “The Untamed,” genre-defying Mexican auteur Amat Escalante switches gears once again to try his hand at a sharp-edged, quasi-detective story with “Lost in the Night.” His approach expectedly deviates from a straightforward whodunit. Escalante rejects both simplified villainy and stainless heroism, crafting individuals with clear motivations who never stop to consider their actions through a moral filter. The result is an at times jarring but always intriguing enigma that escapes facile classification, especially because it tends to veer into absurdism.
In just a handful of years since his breakout role in Fernando Frías de la Parra’s “I’m No Longer Here,” Juan Daniel García Treviño has become a familiar face in Mexican cinema, usually playing a member of a criminal organization. Here, Escalante pushes against such typecasting and places him on the righteous side of the fence, as Emiliano, a...

The Below Deck franchise has celebrated and supported LGBTQ members, including Captain Sandy Yawn who rode the Bravo Pride float in 2019.
Yawn has been at the helm of Below Deck Mediterranean since season 2. She reflected on what it means to accept and embrace who you are.

“You know, something that I never really gave a lot of thought to,” she said in a YouTube video. “It’s something that just kind of like I could tell how my heart felt and I just accepted that. I don’t think there was a day where I came to terms, I think it was like a gradual thing. And I think when you’re comfortable in your own skin, you’re just comfortable no matter who you are.”
From Below Deck Season 1, several yachties shared their stories and their pride.

Cannes frequently gets criticized for the paucity of Latin American representation in the main competition, so it was widely assumed that the new feature from festival veteran Amat Escalante, the 2013 best director winner for Heli, would be guaranteed a spot. Sad to report that watching Lost in the Night (Perdidos en la noche), it’s easy to see why it was shuffled off to a sidebar. The Mexican filmmaker moves out from the shadow of his former mentor, Carlos Reygadas, with his most accessible work to date in this revenge thriller, which is engrossing enough but also a bit meandering and underpowered.
Escalante’s fifth feature takes its cues more from his experience in television on Narcos: Mexico than from his previous big-screen work, which could in theory bring him to a wider audience. But it lacks the tight cohesion of that series at its best, and softens the jarring intensity,...

“I think it’s finally my year,” are the famous last words of Eddie Munson in “Stranger Things,” but unfortunately actor Joseph Quinn will have to wait a little bit longer.
While, at this point, it feels like the kids of Netflix’s ’80s-set sci-fi series will be grandparents before Season 5, with the WGA strike delaying production and the general speed in which the Duffer brothers have delivered seasons. Nonetheless, elements of last summer’s massively popular Season 4 Vol. 2 double-episodes will be angling for consideration from the Television Academy this year. But Emmy rules means most stars of “Stranger Things” aren’t eligible for this year’s ballots.
In June 2022, the TV Academy eliminated the “hangover episode rule,” which allowed a series that premieres current-season episodes after the May 31 eligibility deadline but before the start of nomination round-voting to submit for Emmy consideration.

Typically at the Emmy Awards, a TV show is judged on a full season as it aired entirely within a single eligibility period. However, in extremely rare cases, a drama or comedy will have what’s known as “orphaned” episodes that air outside of the cut-off date. That’s exactly why Season 4 of The Duffer Brothers‘ sci-fi megahit “Stranger Things” is eligible in two consecutive Emmy cycles, last year and this year. Gold Derby has exclusively learned which 13 categories Netflix is submitting for consideration at the 2023 Emmys (see below).
To recap, the first seven episodes of “Stranger Things 4” streamed on May 27, 2022 and thus competed at last year’s Emmys, where it nabbed 13 nominations and won five. But the last two episodes streamed on July 1, 2022, a full month after the eligibility period ended. TV academy rules stipulate that those two orphaned episodes are now eligible at the 2023 Emmys, but with a catch.

Captain Lee Rosbach worked with eight different bosuns during his Below Deck tenure. His first deck department head wasn’t a bosun, but instead a first officer.
But after Below Deck Season 1, the series got into a rhythm of featuring a bosun to lead the deck team, starting with Eddie Lucas.
Bosun Eddie Lucas was Captain Lee’s bosun for 4 seasons
As a new deckhand on Below Deck Season 1, Lucas quickly rose in the ranks and returned for Below Deck Season 2 as bosun.

Chief stew Kate Chastain once joked that she joined the season for season 2 because she thought Lucas resembled a Kennedy. Lucas worked hard on deck, took his job seriously, but left the series after a secret affair with stew Raquel Dakota was uncovered at the end of Below Deck Season 3.

“Not a single actor that works at Dhar Mann Studios can afford rent.” That provocative statement, spoken by actor Colin A. Borden in a TikTok video, fanned a firestorm of complaints against a moralistic online video star. Borden is one of the actors behind the #ProtestDharMann movement, which has questioned the business practices of the titular figure — and drawn a thorough response from Mann himself.
Borden, who has appeared on shows like Better Call Saul, is one of the actors who has achieved some level of internet fame by appearing in Mann’s videos. With the help of his regulars, Mann has created an empire of moral videos that use simple language to impart basic ethical lessons. That formula has made Mann’s channel one of the most-watched hubs on YouTube netting between 250 and 320 million views a month.
Despite the happy endings that typically punctuate Dhar Mann videos, some of...

In the horror genre, when a project’s score is just as frightening as the image it accompanies, the composer has successfully done his/her job. Case in point, the scores for John Carpenter’s Halloween, Bernard Herrmann’s Psycho and even more recently Marco Beltrami’s Scream & Kyle Dixon/Michael Stein’s Stranger Things. We wanted to hone in on […] More...
