What’s a girl to do when your parents split up and leave your sheltered, suburban home and school life in ruins? That’s the premise for 1980s-set Purgatory, Lindsay Lanzillotta’s debut feature that stars J.K. Simmons, The Bear’s Abby Elliot, John Reynolds and Ruby McGurrin in her first movie role as Beatrice Gravel.

Teagan Tao (Miku Martineau) is a…

However, the children have since grown up to live more privately. “You do feel empty when they leave,” Pfeiffer admitted on The Drew Barrymore Show in December. “It doesn’t last. I mean, you miss them terribly. It’s like an appendage is gone….You do recover.” And in 2024, Pfeiffer took on a new role. “I’ve…
Paramount’s lawyers filed a legal response to the states’ antitrust lawsuit against the Warner Bros. Discovery merger on Friday, sketching out arguments and defenses it may use at a trial next March.

Paramount also noted that Cinema United, the trade group for theater chains, has called for a settlement. “Day…
