Lives Outgrown, the long-awaited debut album from Portishead singer Beth Gibbons, has officially arrived. Stream all 10 tracks below.
Arriving 16 years after the most recent Portishead project, Lives Outgrown is an existential, wide-ranging effort that plays with themes of nature, destruction, hope, and dread. Gibbons described Lives Outgrown as her “most personal work to date,” and characterized the project as packed with “lots of goodbyes.”

Beth Gibbons’s first official solo effort, Lives Outgrown, picks up where Portishead’s 2008 album, Third, left off, with detail-rich orchestral chamber pop backing a stunning exploration of aging and grief. The singer’s existential fears about time’s creep and holding onto once-vibrant emotions and connections is as captivating as it is devastating.
Across the album’s 10 songs, Gibbons swims against life’s currents. Musically and thematically, she actively resists the dulling of sensation that, she suggests, comes with age: “I used to feel the feelings,” she sings on the unsettling “Burden of Life.” This song, like the album’s closer, “Whispering Love,” takes the perspective of someone reminiscing about a cozy summer, but they seem to be reflecting from a frigid, unforgiving place in life.
That tension is palpable throughout Lives Outgrown. Gibbons’s feelings about mortality—“Gone too far to rewind…We all know what’s coming,...

The caper or heist film is one of the sub-genres of action that has a lot to offer thematically and stylistically if done correctly. If we think back to “To Catch a Thief” or even the “Oceans”-series, the world these stories show are a reflection of a society based on materialism and property, with the thieves sharing the same obsession as the owners of the object they want to steal. On the other hand, given its potential to be an ensemble piece, the caper/heist feature also offers actors the chance to shine. Steve Yuen's “The Moon Thieves”, the director's third feature, tries to combine the two aspects of the genre, but fails to offer some depth to its otherwise intriguing premise.

How does one repay a team of producers for launching its highest grossing film of all time? Give them the key to the studio — literally.
On Monday, “Barbie” producers, LuckyChap’s Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara inked a first-look deal at Warner Bros., which distributed the $1.4 billion-grossing movie. So, to celebrate, Warner Bros. Pictures Group Co-Chairs and CEO Pam Abdy and Michael De Luca decided to resurrect an old tradition, started by WB co-founder Jack Warner.
“Every once in a while, when a significant piece of talent signed a deal with the studio, he presented that company, that talent, with a key to the studio,” De Luca said as he and Abdy raised a toast to the trio. “We are so delighted to have our first key to our studio be given to LuckyChap.”

Portishead singer Beth Gibbons has officially announced her long-awaited debut solo album.
Set to premiere on May 17th via Domino, Lives Outgrown was produced by Gibbons with James Ford, and features 10 new tracks recorded over the course of the past decade. In a new press release, Gibbons touched on the album’s themes of motherhood, anxiety, menopause, and mortality.
“People started dying,” Gibbons said. “When you’re young, you never know the endings, you don’t know how it’s going to pan out. You think, ‘We’re going to get beyond this. It’s going to get better.’ Some endings are hard to digest… I realized what life was like with no hope, and that was a sadness I’d never felt. Before, I had the ability to change my future, but when you’re up against your body, you can’t make it do something it doesn’t want to do.

Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's" trilogy is some of the most fun you can have with a movie. They are hyper-enjoyable heist romps about a group of guys being dudes. As our own Chris Evangelista put it, "Ocean's 11" is "a hang-out movie, where all the people hanging out are also plotting a massive heist." Even the sequels have some excellent gags, like Julia Roberts' character impersonating the real Julia Roberts in "Ocean's 12," or "Ocean's 13" having the whole "the nose plays" bit and the hilarious and poignant subplot about factory workers in Mexico going on strike — a bit that just get more timely with age.
It's been over 15 years since the last with Clooney and Soderbergh, and we haven't heard about a reunion — until now. Speaking with Uproxx, George Clooney has an exciting update about a potential follow-up to "Ocean's 13."

Last year, it was confirmed that both Barbie and Ken Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling would star in a new installment of the Ocean’s Eleven franchise. The pair will reportedly star as the parents of Danny Ocean.
According to Roger Friedman’s Showbiz411, the upcoming film is titled Oceans, and will serve as a prequel to the original Ocean’s Eleven trilogy, in which George Clooney portrayed Danny. Most plot details are being kept under wraps for now, but it’ll involve the Ocean parents teaching their children the fundamentals of orchestrating a heist and stealing from the rich.
Oceans will also reportedly be set in the 1960s, priming it for some nostalgic references to the original 1960 Ocean’s 11 that starred Frank Sinatra as its titular heist master. As for contemporary inspirations, we also have Greta Gerwig’s Barbie to thank for bringing Gosling into the fold, after producers saw his impeccable on-screen chemistry with Robbie.

Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are set to star in a prequel to the iconic heist film ‘Oceans 11’, which will explore the origins of the original crew and their romantic entanglements in the 1960s. The film, tentatively titled ‘Oceans 10’, is still in development and has not been officially announced by Warner Bros., but producer Josey McNamara has confirmed that the project is alive and well.
“I think we’re just trying to do right by the franchise. I’m excited for people to experience it when it’s ready,” McNamara said in an interview with Collider. He added that the script, written by Olivia Milch, is “fantastic” and that the film will have a “different tone” from the previous ‘Oceans’ movies, which were directed by Steven Soderbergh and starred George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and others.

Oscar winner Matt Damon has been one of Hollywood’s most reliable leading men for over two decades. But how many of his titles remain classics? Let’s take a look back at 23 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best.
Though Damon and his childhood friend Ben Affleck became famous by writing their own ticket to fame and fortune with “Good Will Hunting” (1997), the pair had been acting for years before that film became an art house hit, even appearing together in “School Ties” (1992). But it was by returning to their native Boston to tell the inspirational story about a secret math genius (Damon) that put them on the map, winning them an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and bringing Damon his first Best Actor nomination.

‘Oceans Are the Real Continents’ Review: A Poetic Chronicle of Cubans Trapped Between Home and Exile
Director Tommaso Santambrogio’s beautifully realized first feature, Oceans Are the Real Continents (Los Océanos Son Los Verdaderos Continentes), presents a number of intriguing paradoxes: It’s both grounded in realism and highly stylized, like a social documentary shot by a first-class photographer. It’s a stark portrait of Cubans deeply impacted by exile, but one that was made by a foreigner (Santambrogio is Italian). And it’s a film about the quiet desperation of a place many people are struggling to leave — although it makes Cuba look much more like a country you want to visit rather than escape from.
A previous example of this kind of filmmaking — and one that feels like a major influence on Oceans — is Russian auteur Mikhail Kalatozov’s 1964 feature I Am Cuba, a gorgeous and monumental study of the island that was shot several years after the revolution (and only released worldwide in the early 1990s,...

Italy’s Fandango Sales will launch international distribution at the Venice Film Festival on Tommaso Santambrogio’s “Oceans Are the Real Continents,” set and shot in a run-down contemporary Cuba. The film opens the festival’s independently run Venice Days section. Variety is debuting the trailer exclusively.
The timely drama shot in black-and-white is Santambrogio’s first feature but expands from the director’s well-received short by the same title about a Cuban couple in their 30s and the daily gestures of their love story.
“The first time I went to Cuba, I was eight years old. As I approached customs, I remember witnessing a desperate and endless embrace – with deep sobs and tears – between a father and his daughter who evidently had found a way to leave the island and would never come back,” Santambrogio, who is Italian, said in his director’s statement.

At the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, which kicks off Tuesday, six titles — not counting midnight screenings or the TV series The Idol — will screen “out of competition,” meaning with a big red carpet premiere and the heavy media coverage that accompanies one, but without eligibility for festival prizes.
They include fest opener Jeanne du Barry, starring Johnny Depp (following in the footsteps of star vehicles ranging from 2011’s The Beaver to 2018’s Gotti); fest closer Elemental, from Pixar (animated pics are almost never invited into competition); franchise flick Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (a 2008 Indiana Jones pic also screened out of competition, as have installments of Kill Bill, Matrix, Oceans, Star Wars and X-Men); and cineastes’ most highly anticipated title, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
Among those, Killers is a unique case, in that fest director Thierry Fremaux revealed in April that it was — and remains — invited to screen in competition.

Before Aerosmith made it big, the band opted for some interesting techniques in the recording studio. While it’s common for musicians to use non-traditional instruments on a track, Aerosmith’s creative recording of “Sweet Emotion” takes the cake.

Jay-Z is widely regarded as a hip-hop legend thanks to his years in the music industry and undeniable talent for rapping. He’s continued to remain a high-profile figure thanks to his music career as well as his marriage to Beyoncé. But despite being in the public eye, Jay-Z isn’t necessarily a fan of being on camera all the time.
Jay-Z | Kevin Winter/Getty Images Jay-Z has been in the public eye for nearly 3 decades
Jay-Z first started rapping in the mid-1990s in the wake of his fellow Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn native The Notorious B.I.G. The two even collaborated together on the songs “Brooklyn’s Finest” and “I Love the Dough.”
Jay-Z released his debut album Reasonable Doubt in 1996. He followed it up in the following years with In My Lifetime, Vol. 1, Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life, Vol. 3… Life and Times of S. Carter, The Dynasty: Roc La Familia, and his seminal 2001 album The Blueprint.

Margot Robbie‘s busy shooting Greta Gerwig‘s “Barbie” with Ryan Gosling at the moment, but she already has her next project after that lined up. And she’s teaming up with Jay Roach, who directed her in 2019’s “Bombshell,” for her next assignment: a prequel to the “Ocean’s Eleven” series.
Read More: First Look: Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie’ Movie Coming Out Summer 2023
Robbie will star in the 1960s-set prequel to Steven Soderbergh‘s 2001 film, itself a remake of the 1960 Rat Pack classic. Carrie Solomon pens the script, set in Europe, and while plot details remain scarce, the project looks to start production in spring 2023.
It’s the first “Oceans” movie since 2018’s female-centric spin-off “Ocean’s Eight,” where Sandra Bullock led the ensemble as the sister to George Clooney’s Danny Ocean.

It's a day that ends in Y, so you can guarantee a journalist is out there asking a filmmaker about superhero movies again. This time it's "Magic Mike" and "Oceans" trilogy filmmaker Steven Soderbergh. It turns out, the director isn't chomping at the bit to hop on board a Marvel or DC production -- but not for the reasons one might expect.
"Nobody's f***ing!" Soderbergh pointed out in a new interview with The Daily Beast. The filmmaker broke out with 1989's "Sex, Lies, and Videotape," and has made his fair share of sexy features since then. The director told The Daily Beast that...

Village Roadshow sued Warner Bros. on February 7 over the HBO Max streaming release of “The Matrix Resurrections.”
Village Roadshow alleged that Warner Bros. undercut the theatrical release of the fourth “Matrix” film by driving subscribers to HBO Max.
Per Variety, “the suit alleges that Warner Bros. unilaterally decided to release the latest ‘Matrix’ installment simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max, with no notice to Village Roadshow.”
The production company has a history of co-financing with the Warner Bros. studio across the “Matrix” trilogy as a whole, “Joker,” and the “Oceans” film series.
“The Matrix Resurrections” grossed approximately $148 million at the box office to date. Variety reported that the lawsuit “accuses Warner Bros. of deliberately harming the film’s box office to prop up HBO Max, at the expense of the future viability of the franchise.”

Village Roadshow sued Warner Bros. on Monday, alleging that the studio sabotaged the theatrical release of “The Matrix Resurrections” in order to drive subscribers to HBO Max.
The suit stems from Warner Bros.’ controversial move to release its entire 2021 theatrical slate simultaneously on its streaming service, including “Dune,” “The Suicide Squad” and “King Richard.” The studio ended up paying out millions of dollars to profit participants to make up for lost box office revenue.
Village Roadshow has a longstanding co-financing arrangement with the studio, which has included films like the “Matrix” trilogy, “Joker,” and the “Oceans” series. The suit alleges that Warner Bros. did not consult with or notify Village Roadshow before opting to put “The Matrix Resurrections” — the fourth installment in the franchise — on HBO Max.
The film has grossed just $148 million at the box office to date — a fraction of the gross reaped by the three earlier films.

Exclusive: BBC Studios Natural History Unit has poached Netflix-backed indie Freeborne Media’s Laura Harris to run its development team alongside newly-promoted Jess Colman.
The pair replace Gavin Boyland as dual Heads of Development at the powerhouse BBC Studios division. Deadline revealed in November that Boyland is remaining with the unit to series-produce an unannounced landmark series, which it is understood will be revealed shortly.
Harris returns to BBC Studios following two-and-a-half years away, first with Seadog TV and then with Blue Planet exec James Honeyborne’s Netflix-backed studio Freeborne Media, where she was also Head of Development and worked on the likes of Netflix double Oceans and Great National Parks.
Colman is promoted from Development Executive and has helped shape projects including forthcoming BBC One landmark Asia and Apple TV+’s The Year Earth Changed. She is a former Head of Development at fellow Bristol natural history producer True to Nature.

This weekend, Matt Damon opened Tom McCarthy’s drama “Stillwater” to a respectable $5 million on 2,531 screens. For the amount of attention that’s currently being paid to the film, it might as well have been released in a church basement. Damon, however, is now a human lightning rod in the face of his own father-daughter drama thanks to a recent revealing interview with The Times of London.
When Damon admitted that one of his daughters recently schooled him on not using the epithet “f****t,” the social media backlash was fierce. The Times story went viral because it revealed something many of us already knew from Damon’s faceoff with producer Effie Brown on “Project Greenlight”: the Boston native is often unconscious of his own biases.
On August 2, Damon’s PR reps responded with a statement from the actor (which they provided to IndieWire).

Even when you think you’ve thought of everything, and even if you manage to gather the very best 11, 12, or 13 criminals you know, something will threaten to derail your extremely well thought out plan.

Matt Damon’s drama “Stillwater” is not at Cannes to capture prizes. Directed and co-written by “Spotlight” Oscar-winner Tom McCarthy, Damon plays an Oklahoma everyman who tries to free his daughter (Abigail Breslin) from a French prison with help from local single mom Camille Cottin (“Call My Agent”). Instead, Focus Features is using the festival to launch the accessible family drama out of competition as a marketing platform for its July 30 wide release. After all, Damon is a global movie star who can generate press coverage by tearing up at the gala world premiere. This movie with a working-class vibe played well at its gala premiere July 8.
Early reviews for “Stillwater” are solid. At a Friday press conference and later Master Class, Damon said though this was his fifth time at Cannes, it felt like his first. He was moved by the experience of returning to commune with strangers in a theater.

I wasn’t sure about No Sudden Move, at first. The notion of a crime drama directed by Steven Soderbergh bears with it all manner of expectation, not unlike when you mix “gangster” with “Scorsese.” It’s all a bit 1 + 1 = 2; you can feel when the math is off, and you can also feel when the deviations are deliberate. For all its immediately apparent polish — and the automatic pleasure of seeing the likes of Don Cheadle, Benicio Del Toro, Brendan Fraser and others up to no good and clearly at odds — Soderbergh’s newest effort felt,...

Steven Soderbergh is one of the few commercial American directors who makes films about money—stealing it, lacking it, and its intersection with sex, power, culture, and politics. He’s a filmmaker who’s keenly aware of the reasons why some have money and many others don’t. He knows what it says about a person and where they fit on the capitalist hierarchy. His genre obsessions make these ideas go down smoothly, sometimes almost deceptively so, but there’s genuine indignation at the inequity of it all combined with honest compassion for those stuck on the losing side of the system. It’s too easy to say his films are just metaphors for life in America, though that’s certainly a part of it. It’s more honest to say he places seekers and thieves in the center of his films because, at least in art, they demand focus and control the action.

Exclusive: Netflix’s natural history push continues – setting a feature-doc about kangaroos as its latest trip into the wild.
Deadline understands that the streamer has ordered 90-minute doc Kangaroos from Ample Nature, the nascent natural history division of the 9 Months with Courteney Cox producer.
The film has started production in Australia and it will film down under over a lengthy period of time, as is usual with all major wildlife projects.
It is Netflix’s latest natural history project, having launched Our Planet, its David Attenborough-narrated series from Silverback Films, in 2019, as well as Night on Earth, the Samira Wiley-narrated series from Plimsoll Productions, and Absurd Planet from Conde Nast Entertainment and Love Productions USA.

U.K. singer Joss Stone performed her new song, “Walk With Me,” on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Monday, January 11th.
The track is a classic soul number centered around a simple drum shuffle and tender guitar line. The arrangement put the vocals of Stone and her three stellar back-up singers front-and-center, as they delivered the song’s uplifting message of equality and perseverance: “Walk with me/A time of love is so close at hand/Come together, people, united we stand/Side by side, step by step/Walk with me.

When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Tuesday that Jesse Collins, Stacey Sher and Steven Soderbergh would produce the 93rd Oscars, the organization’s press release included a photo of the three producers.
Collins was dressed in a white shirt and tan blazer in his photo, Sher in a black jacket. And Soderbergh, the filmmaker who won an Oscar for directing 2000’s “Traffic,” wore what appeared to be a lavish silk military-style jacket, complete with epaulets on the shoulders and a jaunty pink beret atop his head.
He looked, essentially, as if he belonged alongside the Beatles on the cover of their classic 1967 album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”
And in fact, it’s not the first time Soderbergh has used that particular photo as his publicity shot, or the first time he’s used it in connection with an awards show. The idiosyncratic director of “sex,...

Director Steven Soderbergh and producers Stacey Sher and Jesse Collins will produce the 93rd Academy Awards on April 25, 2021, the Academy announced on Tuesday.
The announcement did not specify whether the show would be in-person or virtual, a decision that will not be made until the course of the Covid-19 pandemic is clearer.
While Collins is a television producer with a long history of producing live awards shows like the Grammys, BET Awards and Soul Train Awards and Sher is a veteran producer with Oscar nominations for “Django Unchained” and “Erin Brockovich,” the presence of Soderbergh on the producing team is a surprise and something of a coup for Academy president David Rubin.
Soderbergh, who won the Best Director Oscar for “Traffic” in 2000, is an adventurous and iconoclastic film and television director whose work includes “sex, lies and videotape,” “Contagion,” “Out of Sight,” the “Oceans” movies, “Magic Mike” and the recent...

In what could be the most challenging producing assignment ever for an Oscar show, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences today tapped Jesse Collins, Stacey Sher and Steven Soderbergh to produce the 93rd Annual Academy Awards. The show is set for Sunday April 25, their latest date ever, due to delays caused by the coronavirus crisis.
This will be the first involvement in steering the Oscar show for each of them, though Soderbergh is no stranger to the event; he won the 2000 Directing Oscar for Traffic after also being nominated in the same category that year for Erin Brockovich. His numerous directing credits include sex, lies, and videotape, the Oceans trilogy, Magic Mike and his latest debuting this week, Let Them All Talk.
