Do you love tall women? If so, you are not alone – we do, too! Not in a weird way, but nothing makes us stop in our tracks like a woman with an Amazon-esque stature.

There’s a reason why runway models are usually six feet and up – they’re awe-inspiring.

Actress Blake Lively is under scrutiny on social media as another old interview resurfaces, drawing criticism for her behavior toward journalists.

The latest clip, which gained traction on TikTok, shows Lively in a 2017 interview with Dp/30 promoting her film All I See Is You. In the video, Lively appears to react negatively when asked about feeling “free to try everything” in her performance.

“What does that mean?” Lively interrupts, laughing. When the interviewer clarifies his question about her willingness to experiment, referencing an earlier comment about singing, Lively responds, “I did sing in this movie. Did you see the movie? We’re gonna give you a pop quiz at the end of this.”

window._taboola = window._taboola || []; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbnails-mid', container: 'taboola-mid-article-thumbnails', placement: 'Mid Article Thumbnails', target_type: 'mix' });

Social media users are divided on Lively’s conduct. Some TikTok commenters describe her behavior as “rude” and “terrorizing” toward the interviewer.

It is no secret that Taylor Swift and Blake Lively go way back. The All I See is You star and Lover singer have been at each others’ side ever since they connected in Australia for a day back in 2015. And they never turned back. You know they are up close once you realise that the trio – James, Betty, and Inez, around whom Swift’s songs Cardigan, Betty, and August revolved, are actually the names of Lively’s kids.

Add to that the fact that she is the godmother of all of them. Their camaraderie and close friendship are admired by the industry at large, even prompting many to think that they might be besties. They might not be wrong. And their friendship might have proved to be a boon in disguise for another actor, Isabela Ferrer.

Taylor Swift is by Blake Lively’s side even for It Ends With Us...

Finding out that Blake Lively is best friends with other stars in the entertainment industry is fascinating. The talented actress is close pals with both model Gigi Hadid and pop star Taylor Swift!

Just recently, Lively made waves for cosplaying with Hadid at the New York premiere of her husband Ryan Reynolds’ latest film, Deadpool & Wolverine. Many questioned how long these two had been best friends, given that Hadid had taken considerable measures to cosplay with Lively to support Reynold’s new film.

By any measure, Shane Smith and the Saints are in the midst of the sort of career-altering breakthrough that launches Texas bar bands into amphitheaters, music halls, and the top lines of festival posters.

Start with the tour. This spring, the Saints will play the Grand Ole Opry, headline Red Rocks Amphitheatre for the second time in a year — with 49 Winchester and Hayes Carll on the bill — and spend a week touring Europe with Tanner Usrey opening.

There’s also the record. Norther hits stores and streaming on March 1. It...

Although the teaser declares “all will be revealed,” absolutely nothing is revealed in this 10 second Yellowstone season five video. John Dutton (Kevin Costner) is the only character who speaks in the teaser, saying, “We’ll show the world who we are and what we do.”

The teaser confirms season five will premiere on Paramount Network on Sunday, November 13, 2022 with a special two-hour premiere event.

The cast is led by Oscar winner Kevin Costner as John Dutton. Returning cast members also include Luke Grimes as Kayce, Kelly Reilly as Beth, Wes Bentley as Jamie, and Cole Hauser as Rip. Kelsey Asbille stars as Monica, Brecken Merrill is Tate, Jefferson White plays Jimmy, Forrie Smith is Lloyd, Denim Richards is Colby, Ian Bohen is Ryan, Finn Little is Carter, Ryan Bingham is Walker, and Gil Birmingham is Thomas Rainwater.

Josh Lucas will return in a guest starring role as a younger John Dutton.

If you’ve been putting off watching the terrifically adventurous Brendan Fraser-led “The Mummy” again, now’s the time to prioritize it. The 1999 film is one of a bevy of movies leaving HBO Max in June, the full list of which you can read below.

Also leaving HBO and HBO Max this month is a bevy of Tyler Perry’s Madea movies, “Rounders,” “She’s All That” and “Real Steel.”

If you’re looking to prioritize some selections, “Presumed Innocent” is one of Harrison Ford’s most underrated films (featuring one of his best performances) and the Melissa McCarthy/Jason Bateman comedy “Identity Thief” is good for some solid laughs.

Check out the full list of what’s leaving HBO Max below.

Actress Blake Lively (A Simple Favor) is mounting an adaptation of the graphic novel Seconds for Searchlight Pictures, in her feature directorial debut, Deadline can confirm.

The title from Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley was published by Random House imprint Ballantine Books in 2014. It centers on Katie Clay, who receives the power to fix her past mistakes by writing them down in a notebook, eating a mushroom and falling asleep. Clay subsequently becomes too eager to fix every little aspect of her life and before long, her newfound ability begins to create ever-new problems that threaten not only to take her further and further from the life she initially had, but the very fabric of time and space itself.

Edgar Wright—who helmed the beloved 2010 film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, based on O’Malley’s graphic novels—adapted the screenplay and will produce the new film alongside three-time Oscar nominee Marc Platt.

Wake up, Neo.

It’s December 2021 and to celebrate HBO Max is bringing back a classic sci-fi franchise for one last ride. The list of new releases on HBO Max this month is highlighted by The Matrix Resurrections on Dec. 22. This is the long-awaited return to the reality-bending saga from The Wachowskis. Writer/director Lana Wachowski returns as do stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss as Neo and Trinity, respectively. This time around it’s 20 years after The Matrix Revolutions and “Neo lives a seemingly ordinary life as Thomas A. Anderson in San Francisco where his therapist prescribes him blue pills. Neither he nor Trinity recognize each other. However, Morpheus offers him the red pill and reopens his mind to the world of the Matrix.”

While The Matrix Resurrections is the big draw this time around, HBO Max has some other intriguing originals to speak of. The David Thewlis and...

The Yellowstoners have returned to get high on that sweet Montana ranchin’ drama! This week Mike DeAngelo and Rodrigo Perez check in on the latest episode of “Yellowstone” entitled, “All I See Is You,” which follows our beloved Dutton crew still reeling from the aftermath of the attempted hit that was placed on the family at the end of last season.

Will John Dutton get to the bottom of who gave the order for the hit?

Continue reading ‘Yellowstone’ Season 4 Ramps Up The Drama But Episode 3 Is Little More Than Filler [Yellowstoners Podcast] at The Playlist.

We're only three episodes in, but we've already hit a little bit of filler.

With only ten episodes in each season of Yellowstone, it's hard to appreciate those that jocky us into position for what's to come, but that's definitely what Yellowstone Season 4 Episode 3 did.

As always, if you want a full recap of events, click the link above. Now, let's dig into the juicy bits from "All I See Is You."

Let's start with Jimmy's departure because it encompassed a couple of other avenues, notably Lloyd.

Lloyd is out of sorts because things are changing regardless. Rip needs him to keep his head in the game. Lloyd is fussy over Jimmy getting kicked out of the bunkhouse, and he's still dealing with the aftereffects of that blonde chick shacking up with Walker.

Lloyd can be as fussy as he wants to be over Jimmy, but if anyone knows that...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Yellowstone Season 4, Episode 3 “All I See Is You.”] If you ask Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly), Jamie (Wes Bentley) was responsible for the attacks that nearly killed her, her father John (Kevin Costner), and her brother Kayce (Luke Grimes), and she’s not going to let that go anytime soon. But that’s not all that’s going on for Beth or the rest of the ranch in Yellowstone Season 4. Beth’s taken in a young kid, Carter (Finn Little), who’s pretty much just like her fiancé Rip (Cole Hauser) was at his age, but that’s not going so well. Also in “All I See Is You,” Jimmy (Jefferson White), after injuring himself by doing exactly what John told him not to, leaves behind the ranch for Texas (for how long remains to be seen). And Monica (Kelsey Asbille) is so angry and wants to leave the ranch so...

How is Yellowstone like a runaway stallion? Once it gets started, there ain’t no slowing it down! Case in point: Sunday’s “All I See Is You.” In the span of an hour, we got a bittersweet goodbye that was heavy on the bitter, a trip to the train station and what for two couples sure looked like the beginning — maybe even the middle? — of the end. Oh, and there was a massacre, too! Saddle up, and we’ll go over every twist of plot…

Exclusive: Deadline has the first exclusive track from the score for Raised By Wolves, composed by Marc Streitenfeld and Ben Frost.

WaterTower Music will release the complete 41-track soundtrack created for the HBO Max show’s first season on Friday, July 2nd.

Created by Aaron Guzikowski, and executive produced by Ridley Scott, Raised by Wolves centers on androids Father (Abubakar Salim) and Mother (Amanda Collin), who are tasked with raising human children on the planet Kepler-22b after Earth is destroyed by a great war. Scott directed the first two episodes of the 10-episode series, marking his television series directorial debut for American audiences.

Streitenfeld, who wrote 30 of Season 1’s tracks, says the show’s score was brought to life through a great deal of experimentation. “I recorded things like the vibration of the wings of a wasp hitting the glass of my studio window, slowed it down, manipulated it...

Peter Luo’s Starlight has set Thai martial arts / action star Tony Jaa for the lead role in the action/crime/thriller trilogy – an Untitled Tony Jaa Assassin Project.

In the first installment of what will be a three-picture franchise, Jaa will play a legendary assassin who disappeared three years ago and becomes the target of all criminal organizations and law enforcement agencies. The story will unfold in an unconventional structure packed with thrilling action and suspense. As the manhunt accelerates, the mystery of the assassin’s identity is slowly unraveled. In this franchise, as layers of truth are revealed one by one, the end game will come into sight for audiences.

The trilogy is based on an original idea by Peter Luo with Jaa in mind as the star. A Muay Thai master whose formidable martial arts skills have dazzled action lovers in such films as Ong Bak and...

Mattel and production company 2Dux are teaming on a feature film based on the “Thomas & Friends” children’s train franchise, with “World War Z” director Marc Forster on board to helm and co-produce.

“’Thomas’ is a beloved global franchise that focuses on the importance of friendship, a theme that resonates deeply with children and parents around the world,” said Mattel Films chief Robbie Brenner. “Marc is an incredible storyteller and I look forward to partnering with him to tell Thomas’ story in a modern and unexpected way.”

The companies, which announced the project Tuesday, said “Thomas & Friends” will be a four-quadrant family adventure that blends live-action and animation. Mattel Films will co-produce the film alongside Forster and Renée Wolfe, co-founder and co-ceo of 2Dux.

Alyssa Hill (“A Taste of Power”) and Jesse Wigutow have written the script. Brenner and Kevin McKeon will lead the project for Mattel Films.

The feature is described as a character-driven thriller set against a catastrophic event and centres on a woman going to extreme lengths to survive and save her family. A world-altering event is at the basis of the plot and themes of isolation and strength of family emerge.

Coming from scribe Michael Paisley, the story is said to be a trilogy, giving Lively her first franchise to work with.

In Eddie Alcazar’s debut feature “Perfect,” beautiful nymph-like models lounge around a Lautner house digitally transported into a waterfall fantasy land, and not a whole lot seems to mean anything. Alcazar has flip-flopped roles with his collaborator, musician-filmmaker Flying Lotus, for whom Alcazar acted as producer on the gross-out horror anthology film “Kuso.” Now Flying Lotus is producing (and acting as composer) for this sci-fi anti-morality tale — released under the “Steven Soderbergh Presents” banner — that frustrates as much as it visually dazzles.

The film opens with a distraught young man calling his chilly mother (Abbie Cornish) on a 1980s landline to beg her to come home and fix his mess. The mess in question is the nude corpse of his girlfriend, drenched in her own blood. When mom whisks her son away to a kind of modernist rehab, it seems as though he might go through the motions of repentance or soul-searching,...

Exclusive: Veteran manager/producer Brad Kaplan has joined Link Entertainment as a partner. Kaplan, who comes from Primary Wave Entertainment, will work out of Link’s West L.A. offices which were expanded last month in part to make room for the company’s growing literary department.

“We have had the privilege to work with Brad in the past and he has been a friend for over 15 years,” the Link partners said in a statement. “He is one of the smartest and most genuine people we have had the pleasure to collaborate with. As we expand our literary/production division, we couldn’t ask for a better partner. We have always admired Brad’s incredible taste in both clients and material”.

Kaplan started his career at Silver Pictures where he worked as a production executive and worked on such films as Lethal Weapon 4, Conspiracy Theory, Executive Decision and The Matrix.

Blake Lively’s “The Rhythm Section” has been bumped back nine months to Nov. 22, 2019, Paramount announced Friday.

The film was previously scheduled to be released on Feb. 22, 2019. The spy thriller will now compete against Disney’s “Frozen 2,” which is opening during the same timeframe.

TheWrap previously reported that production had been temporarily suspended in December 2017 because Lively had injured her wrist while filming an action sequence.

Reed Morano is directing “The Rhythm Section,” the first film in what’s intended to become a franchise with Michael G.Wilson and Barbara Broccoli producing. The film also stars Sterling K. Brown as Lively’s love interest.

“The Rhythm Section” is based on a series of spy novels by Mark Burnell, which tells the story of a woman scorned by the loss of her family in a mysterious plane crash.

After nearly six years of marriage, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are still going strong and, in a new interview with Us Weekly, a source candidly opened up about how the Hollywood couple has remained happily married for so long. "They have such a solid relationship," the insider explained in the magazine's latest issue, on newsstands now. "They truly couldn't be happier and more in love." Blake, 31, and Ryan, 41, are also proud parents to two daughters, James, 3, and Inez, 1, who are "the most important thing in their lives," the source added. (Photo Credit: Getty Images) "They do everything they can to make sure [the girls] have a normal upbringing," the insider shared. "When they’re not working, they really spend as much time as they can at home and away from all the craziness." Blake and Ryan share a Westchester, NY home together with their kids and try to always visit each...

Did we really need the studio behind the “Star Wars” relaunch to make a movie telling middle-aged men to stay close to their childhood toys? That’s the underlying message of “Christopher Robin,” a partially live-action sequel to the lovely “Winnie the Pooh” cartoons that’s a colossal disappointment on many levels.

It’s a slow, sluggish and whimsy-deficient movie that seems designed to entertain neither children nor adults, and the film’s script opens a Pandora’s Box of a plot twist (more on that in a moment) that that narrative then brushes off. And while many people admitted to weeping from the trailers, the final movie never packs the emotional punch that should be inherent to the material.

What we’re left with is a “Hook”-style mid-life crisis movie aimed at kids, designed to shame parents who spend too much time at the office and not enough with their families.

Amazon Prime Video has confirmed that several of its original series will be debuting new episodes on the streaming service in August, including the first season of “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan.” John Krasinski, who is red-hot following the success of his winter hit “A Quiet Place,” takes on the role of the CIA spy that has been played on the big screen by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine.

Likewise, there will be plenty of movies making their first appearances on Amazon Prime Video including the action comedy “Gringo,” which stars David Oyelowo as a businessman who unwittingly becomes involved with a Mexican drug cartel.

Unlike Netflix, Amazon does not disclose the shows and movies leaving the service in any given month. We’ve done some digging and unearthed a few titles that will be exiting Amazon Prime Video in the first week of August. News...

According to celebrities, two coats are better than one. While having to wear two coats sounds miserable, doubling up is a style choice you may want to make. Beyond providing extra warmth, the added coat adds a level sophistication that alludes to high fashion and menswear. Case in point: Blake Lively's three-piece, menswear-inspired suit. While promoting her new film All I See Is You, the star appeared in a gray plaid suit, which included a coat, suit jacket and tailored pants. Instead of wearing the coat normally, Blake opted out of the sleeves, giving us a better view of her outfit. As she walked down the NYC street, the coat blew upwards, like a cloak fit for the street style queen. ...

Blake, is that you? Blake Lively may be one of the most glamorous women in the world with style sought after by many, but the actress, who has basically never had a bad red carpet moment, showed a dramatically different side when she was photographed in character, while filming a new movie, The Rhythm Section, in Dublin, Ireland on Sunday. The All I See Is You actress, who made headlines with her plethora of outfit changes during her recent press tour, was dressed in over-sized clothes, no make (or makeup to make her look washed out) and a not-so flattering wig. The almost unrecognizable look is for a challenging new role in the upcoming spy thriller. In Glamour's September issue, the...

The less than glamorous look is for her role as a woman on a self-destructive path, who learns a shocking discovery about the death of her family, and tries to uncover a larger conspiracy.

The star recently opened up to Vanity Fair's "The Limelight" podcast about the double standard of women having to be "likeable" at all times in film, and her role in the film.

"I play a heroin-addicted prostitute. Going back to the likable thing ... you always see that thing in movies where if a woman is a prostitute or a sex worker, you always think, ‘I don't want the guys to be grossed out by her,'" she said. "We have to still...

“The Light of the Moon” is a lucid, clinical, and wholly necessary drama about life after rape, and the while the film is far more watchable than it might sound (thanks in large part to Stephanie Beatriz’s rich and involving lead performance), viewers should know what’s in store for them. At the same time, “trigger warning” doesn’t feel like the right term, or at least not a sufficient one. While it’s inevitable that writer-director Jessica M. Thompson’s exquisitely sensitive feature debut will stimulate the traumas that sexual assault survivors have experienced, that kind of seems like the point.

Beatriz — as human here as she is a puffed up caricature on “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” — stars as Bonnie, a Williamsburg architect who’s essentially living the Platonic ideal of millennial existence. She works a creative job in an open warehouse that’s located within biking distance of the spacious,...

This pre-Halloween weekend, multiple specialized distributors opened and expanded significant fall season releases. Comedy “The Square” (Magnolia), this year’s top Cannes prize-winner, launched at a high level for a subtitled film on the road to national release and Oscar contention.

No other opening reached its levels. “The Novitiate” (Sony Pictures Classics) drew disappointing results. “Bill Nye: Science Guy” (PBS) showed some initial promise, while “Jane” (Abramorama/National Geographic), another documentary about a well-known scientist, primate conservationist Jane Goodall, showed strong second weekend results. A24’s “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” led second weekend expansions.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds‘ older daughter James is all about Halloween dress-up, but she has a few stipulations.

In this week’s issue of People, the All I See Is You star dishes on her 2½-year-old’s current request for family costumes — and it sounds like James’ baby sister Inez, 1, might be getting the short end of the stick.

It’s only been a few short weeks since Winnie the Pooh got the “Shakespeare in Love” treatment in “Goodbye Christopher Robin” — a film that inspired this critic to lament that “we used to tell stories; now we just tell stories about how we used to tell stories” — which means that we’re already long overdue for another saccharine period fable about the creation of another literary icon. Enter Ebenezer Scrooge, who came to Charles Dickens at a moment when both men were at a low point in their lives.

The year was 1843, the great author (a manic Dan Stevens) was 31, and his massive fame was ebbing in the wake of three consecutive flops. With the winter settling in and a certain lifestyle to maintain, Dickens was in desperate need of a Christmas miracle. There was only one problem: There hadn’t been a Christmas miracle in almost 1,843 years. You see,...

For over ninety years cinema has been catering to and exerting two of the five senses. Well mainly, since gimmicks like “Smell-o-Vision” and “Odorama”, used with the films Scent Of A Mystery and Polyester, never really connected with the film going public. They were cards that emitted aromas when a number was scratched (after prompting by seeing the number flash on-screen). I’m guessing certain fragrances didn’t mix well with concession treats. Well before that, The Jazz Singer introduced movie audiences to sound, allowing them to hear actors reciting lines rather than reading “title cards’ (along with sound effects and music). Now, instead of those cards, subtitles are run at the frame’s lower part for most foreign films (the subtitles help the “hearing impaired” watching films on home video). But how do film makers simulate the “point of view” of those “impaired’ or “challenged”? The wizards of sound mixing can manipulate the audio,...

A surfeit of visual noodling and little effectively directed and written drama make up “All I See Is You,” a what-if gimmick posing as a dissection of a marriage where one spouse is blind, yet it’s the other half who’s the needy one. A kind of anti-Nicholas Sparks movie, in which good intentions unintentionally expose cracks in a union, Marc Forster’s superficially trippy Thailand-set movie — peppered as it is with amorphous waves of shapes and colors meant to evoke the point of view of the sight-impaired — never plays like something that had to be made about the human.

Why do James (Jason Clarke) and his visually impaired wife Gina (Blake Lively) live in Bangkok? It’s a question that hangs over “All I See Is You,” begging to be asked. We know that James does insurance work somewhere in the Thai capital, but the way he brings it up in conversation makes it sound like an alibi. Usually film characters take jobs in far-flung destinations towards the end of the story, not before it starts. In truth the answer couldn’t be more obvious; it’s there the whole time, right in front of our faces, visible to everyone but Gina. Or maybe she sees it too, and — like us — simply doesn’t want to accept the fact that her doting husband moved her to a foreign city because of her debilitating blindness, and not in spite of it.

It can be nice to feel needed, but there...

Over the last couple of years, October hasn't been the haven for horror one would think it would be. This year, however, not only has the year itself been dominated by top quality horror releases, but It got a jump start on the scary season with a September release and October has already had Happy Death Day debut with strong numbers. This weekend, Lionsgate hopes to give the genre another jolt with Jigsaw, which brings the Saw franchise back to the big screen after a seven year hiatus. Additional new releases include George Clooney's Suburbicon and Universal's Thank You for Your Service while Dimension will finally release Amityville: The Awakening after over five years of the film bouncing around the release schedule. Expected to finish #1 this weekend, Lionsgate brings back one of the studio's most iconic characters with Jigsaw. Michael and Peter Spierig (Daybreakers) directed the film, which arrives...

These days, it would be difficult to deny the appeal of living in an idyllic mountain town where time stands still — the kind of place that’s easily forgotten by the outside world, and where the outside world is easily forgotten in turn. And yet, all the rustic beauty in the world can’t stop Nora (Marie Leuenberger) from feeling like she’s been left behind.

A modest housewife in the postcard-perfect Swiss canton of Appenzell, her days are spent feeding her boorish husband (Max Simonischek), spoiling their two sons, and cleaning up after her old-fashioned father-in-law, who really needs to find a better hiding spot for his porn magazines. The year is 1971, and Nora can feel the fires of change burning all around her, hear the whispers about women’s liberation that are carried up the hills on the wind, but that’s the thing about living in such...

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds know the importance of sticking together.

Lively, 30, revealed the secret to her marriage with Reynolds, saying they don’t let their hectic work schedules get in the way of their relationship.

“My husband and I don’t work at the same time, so we all go together as a family,” she tells People in this week’s issue. “If we’re away as a family, it’s never more than for a day. We stay together.”

Lively and Reynolds have been married for five years and have two kids together: daughter James, 2, and Inez, 1.

Bon appétit — Blake Lively may be raising a future chef!

The All I See Is You star parents two daughters with husband Ryan Reynolds: 2½-year-old James and 1-year-old Inez, whom she called a “little foodie” on Live with Kelly and Ryan Tuesday.

“What’s crazy is my 2½-year-old, she wakes up at night — she’s the baby, basically,” the 30-year-old actress said. “My little one, she’s just so divine. She came out of the womb a little foodie.”

Adds Lively of Inez, “We’re always like, ‘What’s your signature special?’ because she’s always reaching for everything.

As a rising star in Hollywood, Blake Lively worried that she would be labeled a “diva” just for speaking out in her own interests.

“I think that sometimes you’re not encouraged to stand up for yourself,” the actress, 30, tells People in this week’s issue.

“It doesn’t even mean in really dramatic ways,” she added. “That just means that if you’re working too many hours, or you aren’t being paid what someone else at your work level is being paid, or if you’re being treated differently than someone else on the crew, or whoever.”

“What’s crazy is my 2-and-a-half-year-old, she wakes up at night and she’s the baby, basically,” Lively said. “My little one, oh she’s just so divine. She came out of the womb a little foodie.”

The 30-year-old actress said she and Reynolds joke about Ines’ love for food. “We’re always like, ‘What’s your signature special,’ because she’s always reaching for anything.”

But Lively is nothing if not encouraging of her daughter’s finer tastes. “I’m like a parent of an Olympian except I want a...

For a few years now, Blake Lively has been quietly doing really strong work. She’s quickly becoming incredibly underrated in Hollywood. Lively is just waiting for the right project to really break out, and her latest work in the independent film All I See Is You showcases her best performance to date. It opens this week and could even present her as a dark horse Best Actress candidate. The field is probably far too stacked to realistically get her in, but this is another hint that she’s going to be a force in the industry. A well deserved nomination could easily be in Lively’s future. The film is a character study with some thriller elements thrown in as well. Gina (Lively) lives with her husband James (Jason Clarke) in Bangkok. They’re there due to James’ work, though the experience is far different Gina. After all, she’s blind.

Revenge is a dish best served with Ryan Gosling, right Blake Lively?

On Monday, the actress, 30, celebrated husband Ryan Reynolds turning 41 by getting back at him for his birthday tribute to her in August. The All I See Is You star hilariously cropped out the actor in a photo with fellow Canadian Gosling from the Critics’ Choice Awards in 2016.

“Happy Birthday, baby,” Lively captioned the picture that featured only half of Reynolds’ face and body.

Earlier that same day, Reynolds jokingly tweeted about his daughters,...

When Byron Allen’s Entertainment Studios, riding high after the early hit “47 Meters Down,” bought “Chappaquiddick” and “Hostiles” out of Toronto, it looked like they might provide direct competitors for a Best Actor Oscar slot. Now Scott Cooper’s $50-million western “Hostiles,” which earned upbeat reviews and press out of Telluride and Tiff, is heading for a December release and an Oscar campaign for Christian Bale.

“Chappaquiddick,” however, will have to wait.

John Curran’s “Chappaquiddick” (a $4 million pickup, with a $16 million P&A) will wisely hold off for a 2018 release on April 6. Jason Clarke would have not only been competing with Bale for a Best Actor slot, but also with himself in Dee Rees’s southern drama “Mudbound” (November 17, Netflix).
