The first movie role for Prince – Purple Rain – is getting a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release this summer, for its 40th birthday. More here.
Warner Bros continues its support of catalogue physical media – and good on it for that – with the news that Purple Rain is to make its 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray debut. It’s arriving on the 4K format in part to mark its 40th birthday which, as usual when running these pieces, makes some people out there feel really old. Not me though, obviously. Cough.
The film stars the late Prince in his first ever movie role, and is as famous for its score as the feature itself.
It’s coming to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on 24th June 2024 in the UK, in a set that will also feature a Blu-ray disc in the box. As such, previous extra features are being carried over.

Taylor Swift started off as a country artist at a time when the genre was both less respectful and accommodating of the voices of women than at any other point in its storied history. The singer’s first four albums barely scan as country music in a meaningful way, instead embracing her preternatural gifts for pop conventions, and her output has gotten stronger the more openly she’s embraced those skills. In the 18 years since the single “Tim McGraw” launched Swift to country stardom, she’s jettisoned the genre’s ill-fitting signifiers and overcome the limitations of her early recordings—improvements captured in her “Taylor’s Version” re-recordings as a powerful statement of artistic agency.
After spending the last year traveling the world on her Eras Tour, Swift has returned with a double album, The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology. To celebrate, we’ve revisited all 11 of her studio albums...

Prince will be the subject of a new jukebox musical movie distributed by Universal Pictures, with Black Panther filmmaker Ryan Coolger set to produce.
The script was written by Bryan Edward Hill, who previously worked on television series Titans and Ash vs. Evil Dead.
The news was first reported by Jeff Sneider and confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter.
Prince, who died in 2016, has a long cinematic history. 40 years ago this July, Warner Bros. distributed his classic film, Purple Rain. In recent years, he’s been a popular potential subject for projects, including an Elizabeth Banks-starring film that was hinted at in 2018 and an upcoming stage adaptation of Purple Rain.
As for additional details about the forthcoming jukebox musical — like casting, release date, and more — we’ll have to wait and see. If they haven’t nailed their leading actor yet, perhaps a scene akin to SNL’s 2021 Prince biopic skit is playing out now.

Ryan Coogler has signed on to produce Universal’s jukebox musical based on the music of Prince.
The “Black Panther” director will produce alongside Zinzi Coogler and Sev Oganian through their Proximity Media, with Proximity’s Rebecca Cho executive producing. They join the project just over 5 years after Universal acquired the rights to the rock and funk legend’s music.
Bryan Edward Hill wrote a previous draft for the film, which won’t be a Prince biopic, but rather an original story inspired by Prince, who died in 2016, and his music. Atom Factory’s Troy Carter, entertainment adviser for the musician’s estate, will also produce with Universal Music’s Jody Gerson.
Proximity Media was founded by Ryan Coogler, Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian, and co-founded by Ludwig Göransson, Archie Davis and Peter Nicks. The company’s projects include “Judas and the Black Messiah” and “Space Jam: A New Legacy.

Full trailer for Prince Andrew feature Scoop has landed.
The highly-anticipated Netflix movie tells the story of that notorious Newsnight interview, the one that saw the disgraced prince humiliated over his connections to Jeffrey Epstein and more generally over his conduct, birthing never-forgotten lines about Pizza Express and an inability to sweat.
Today’s trailer showcases Gillian Anderson as interviewer Emily Maitlis, Rufus Sewell as the prince and Billie Piper playing Sam McAlister, the BBC producer who secured the interview and wrote the book that the feature is based on.
Last week, Anderson and Sewell both revealed that they had initially turned down the roles, with The Crown star Anderson saying she thought she would “undoubtedly fail” if she took it on. “The opportunity to play her was a privilege and was daunting,” added Anderson.

It was still some years before he attained iconic status as a Bollywood villain while revealing his real identity to the bemused hero in his trademark soft yet menacing drawl, but before Ajit, whose birth anniversary falls on January 27, became the “Loin”, he had to receive a salutary lesson in dealing with big cats onscreen – from Balraj Sahni.
Ajit recalled they were shooting for costume swashbuckler “Dharti” (1970) – a remake of Tamil film “Sivandha Mann” with Rajendra Kumar stepping into the shoes of Sivaji Ganesan, and a scene had him, as the evil Diwan, coming down on a lift with a tiger on a leash to where Sahni was waiting.
However, Sahni refused to go along, noting that he had agreed to “work with humans, not beasts”, and the scene had to be shot without him.
After this, Ajit, in an article for Urdu film magazine ‘Shama’ in 1975, said that he...

In a bombshell revelation in October, Jada Pinkett Smith revealed that she has been separated from her husband, Will Smith, since 2016, sending shockwaves across the entertainment industry.

Nathan Fielder is known for uncomfortably awkward prank comedies like Nathan For You and The Rehearsal, and Benny Safdie, along with his brother Josh, is known for uncomfortably tense crime dramas like Uncut Gems and Good Time. So it makes sense that when Fielder and Safdie team up for Showtime’s new dramedy — premiering this Sunday at 10/9c and streaming this Friday on Paramount+; I’ve seen the first four episodes — the result is almost unbearably uncomfortable. A deeply unsettling fusion of Fielder and Safdie’s distinctive styles, The Curse...

It’s been virtually 100 years to the day since Walt Disney’s animated mouse took the wheel of a steamship and steered himself into immortality. But for anyone who grew up watching Disney movies that might seem surprisingly recent. Since near its very inception, Walt Disney Animation Studios has evoked a timeless sensibility which seems eternal and everlasting. With likely your parents and grandparents growing up on Disney movies, the studio’s brand of hand-drawn magic has always been there in the background of living memory. But every magic has its dark side… and the shadows cast by the House of Mouse have always been faintly more sinister than parents remember until they put a little one in front of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Fantasia. You show a child Chernabog for the first time, and I’ll show you a week of nightmares.

It was only by crossing the moral line – onscreen – didAjit make his name in Hindi films – of a larger than life, deep-dyed, but suave and sophisticated villain. He was always clad in the height of fashion – with accessories like outsized sunglasses, accompanied by glamorous molls, and scorned to do the dirty work himself, relying on a cohort of henchmen.
He complemented the entire package by lowering his trademark voice to a beguilingly softer, yet with sinister undertones, conveying both menace and mockery.

A Prince, the second narrative feature from French director Pierre Creton, is rather strange. There is a chorus of narrators for a quiet film. This movie is obsessed with sex, yet almost frighteningly unsexy. A Prince defies comprehensible storytelling and the laws of nature. And despite all of Creton’s formal efforts to make this film nearly unwatchable, A Prince is also quite beautiful.
As much as A Prince is about anything, it is about various residents in a rural French village. We open on Françoise (Manon Schaap), the woman in charge of the local trade school. Françoise speaks mostly about her adoptive son, Kutta, whose existence dangles enigmatically over the entire narrative. (Her narration is voiced by Françoise Lebru.) This isn’t really Françoise or Kutta’s story, though––at least the film doesn’t focus on them. It focuses primarily on Pierre-Jean (played mostly by Antoine Pirotte), who...

Emma Raducanu did a commercial where she talked about women's empowerment, and British TV host Piers Morgan didn't like it.
Emma Raducanu has been away from tennis for a long time due to injuries and surgeries, which will keep her away from the sport until next year. She started practicing recently but explained that a return won't happen until next year .
In the meantime, Raducanu stayed busy doing various things, including a commercial where she talked about women's empowerment, explaining to little princesses that they don't need a prince to do well in life. It's a pretty non-controversial take, albeit quite different from kids' stories of the past, where Prince Charming was supposedly the main character in a princess's life.
Not anymore; it's 2023, and women have a chance to take control of their own lives and do well. Just the way Raducanu did when she won the US Open. She...

With Young Love, the TV spin-off of the Oscar-winning short and beloved book, Max enters a new area of the animated family sitcom.
The concept for the show is something creator Matthew A. Cherry tells The Hollywood Reporter was knocking around as a possibility all the way back to the book’s Kickstarter days.
“When we first saw Vashti Harrison’s amazing artwork, we had always thought, ‘What could this be?’” Cherry explains. “A feature idea just felt not big enough, but what always felt like it could make a ton of sense was a series.”
Despite having a young child at the center of its narrative, the streaming show’s 12-episode first season is not for kids. Yet, it’s not quite adult animation, either. Young Love exists in a middling place rarely called upon in animation, and is one of the clearest examples of Warner Bros. Discovery and...

Prince Harry’s “Spare” memoir made no shortage of noise when it was released back in January 2023. The Duke of Sussex, a former working royal under the royal family, broke away from his relatives alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, back in 2020. Less than three years later, he published his memoir, which served as a tell-all of his time growing up in the royal family.
However, the book came with plenty of confessions, including some that involved celebrities. And now, Piers Morgan’s wife, Celia Walden, thinks Harry’s celeb-status friends might be distancing themselves from the prince because they’re worried about him spilling things about their lives.

Andy Warhol wasn’t allowed to use a photographer’s portrait of Prince for a series of pop-art images, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday in a decision limiting the reach of the fair use defense to copyright infringement claims.
Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor, writing for the majority in the 7-2 decision, found that the Lynn Goldsmith’s “original works, like those of other photographers, are entitled to copyright protection, even against famous artists” like Warhol. Potentially overlapping commercial exploitation of the works was a key consideration.
“The purpose of the image is substantially the same as that of Goldsmith’s photograph,“ she wrote. “Both are portraits of Prince used in magazines to illustrate stories about Prince.”
Associate Justice Elena Kagan, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, sided with Warhol in a dissent saying that the majority is “uninterested in the distinctiveness and newness of Warhol’s portrait.” She...

The Supreme Court sided with a photographer in a dispute with the Andy Warhol Foundation over the late artist’s use of her photos as the basis for his own series of portraits of Prince.
The court’s ruling was closely watched by content creators, some of whom feared that it would widen the scope of copyrighted material that could be used for further derivative works. In fact, during oral arguments last fall, attorneys raised the issue of what the case would mean for sequels to Star Wars and spinoffs from shows like All in the Family.
In a 1984 issue, Vanity Fair used a Warhol work that was based on a Lynn Goldsmith photo, having obtained a license from the photographer. The problems came about after Prince died in 2016 and Conde Nast, in its tribute to the singer, used a different Warhol work that was part of a series of...

When the makers of New Girl learned that they received the post-Super Bowl timeslot in 2014, they knew they had the opportunity to do something big in front of a new audience. But even they couldn’t believe they were able to snag Prince for the special episode.
The iconic artist’s appearance on the show was years in the making. But star Zooey Deschanel still needed other people to verify that Prince’s interest in New Girl was real.

Dracula (Nicolas Cage) and Renfield (Nicholas Hoult) in ‘Renfield’ (Photo © 2023 Universal Studios)
Renfield’s a fun, albeit lightweight, take on Dracula and his bug-eating minion, lifted by the entertaining performances of Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage. There are exploding heads, an ample smattering of blood, guts, and gore, and the creative use of disembodied arms as weapons. But for all its onscreen carnage, this R-rated horror comedy is really just a campy good time, forgettable yet enjoyable enough while it lasts.
It’s a no-brainer to cast Nicolas Cage as Dracula, and the Oscar-winning actor sinks his teeth into the role with a joyous, demented glee. Very seldom is Renfield’s Dracula viewed as an actual threat to humanity, despite the film’s simple plot which suggests Dracula is positioning himself as a god who desires to be worshipped by his food source.

Ben Schwartz is one of our favourite actors to interview, so needless to say we were thrilled to have the opportunity arise once more, for the release of Renfield, where he stars alongside Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult.
We asked him about playing a comedic villain and the challenges that come with that, and whether he had scope to improvise on set. He also chatted about the collaboration process with Cage, and showed his brand new mug….

Bel-Air, starring Jabari Banks, is one of the strangest streaming TV flagships. The controversial prestige drama reboot of the beloved sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was initially ridiculed by many as an unnecessarily overwrought take on a simple sitcom.
But the final product ended up being much more interesting than the premise implied, earning it a second season on Peacock. One of the main reasons the series ended up clicking with viewers is Jabari Banks, who plays Will Smith in the dark reinterpretation of Smith’s now-legendary show.
It’s a role that Banks wasn’t necessarily seen as the obvious choice for — including to the 24-year-old actor himself.

Peacock’s Bel-Air is nearly matching the number of seasons with its showrunners.
The NBCUniversal-backed streamer has handed out a third-season renewal for its reimagining of Will Smith’s beloved The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The dramatic take on the former comedy series that is inspired by Morgan Cooper’s viral short was originally picked up at Peacock with a two-season order following a competitive bidding process with other streamers vying for the series.
The season three renewal marks its first vote of confidence beyond that initial order and follows a wave of showrunner changes as the drama struggled to find its creative voice. Carla Banks Waddles was recruited as showrunner at the start of season two. The Good Girls and The Soul Man alum was promoted from co-exec producer to showrunner and replaced T.J. Brady and Rasheed Newson (Army Wives, Lie to Me) at the helm of Bel-Air.

Buckingham Palace confirmed on Friday, Edward’s 59th birthday, that the royal would be the new Duke of Edinburgh.

Edward’s son, Viscount Severn, 15, is now the Earl of Wessex; a title that was previously given to Edward when he married Sophie Rhys-Jones back in 1999.

Earlier today marked the end of an era, as heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne has announced that he's ending his touring career for good. His underlying health issues have made it difficult for the Black Sabbath singer to go through with the demanding requirements that a tour requires. Thankfully, Osbourne hasn't ruled out making an appearance down the line if the circumstances are right, given that he claims that his vocals are in pretty good shape.
For all of the waves he made on stage, however, Osbourne could also be seen popping in a movie every now and then for a small cameo. A few notable examples would be "Moulin Rouge!," "Austin Powers: Goldmember," and "Ghostbusters: Answer the Call" (2016). In most of these cases, he's usually playing a variation on himself. He's become one of those faces that you could recognize almost instantly, due to his larger than life stature.

Will Smith has shared a new clip where he and his son Trey capture a “tarantula” they spotted walking around their Southern California home.
Over the weekend, the 53-year-old actor shared a video of him and Trey, 29, trying to corral the “biggest” spider they’ve “ever seen”.
“What the whole hell? That is a big-a** spider!” Smith was heard screaming in the video.
The Oscar-winning actor then put his son in charge of getting rid of the arachnid.
“C’mon, you’re young and strong,” he tells Trey jokingly. “You can handle the bite.”
Trey responds by giving Smith an “are you serious” stare.
The King Richard star eventually managed to trap the spider under a glass.
“We’re taking turns, we’re a team,” Smith said.
In the next clip, Smith is seen holding the tarantula inside the glass cup using a piece of paper.
