Few authors know TV adaptations better than Harlan Coben. The author and producer of more than 13 Netflix shows shared a key mistake that many authors make with adaptations on How I Write with David Perell. “You know, look, reading is a different experience than watching TV, which is one of the reasons when I do adaptations, I don’t mind making huge changes,” Coben said. “Because, I think the mistake people try to do is, ‘I want my TV series to be a faithful reproduction of my novel.'”Coben stopped by the podcast to promote his new memoir and craft book,…
It all started with a text: “Can we talk?” Those three little words — which is how Telluride Film Festival Director Julie Huntsinger first learned about the Nathan Fielder documentary about Elizabeth Holmes — catapulted this year’s festival into the most-talked-about event on the competitive film circuit. Along with A24, the studio behind the doc, Huntsinger planned a secret reveal for the festival that only four people on her team knew about, even keeping her best friend in the dark. And as the world now knows, that covert strategy worked — of course, it helped that Fielder and co-director Lance…
Tommy Hilfiger is back at The Plaza. After all, the designer brought his brand’s Spring 2027 collection to the iconic venue Sept. 10 for New York Fashion Week, with Gigi Hadid, Romeo Beckham and Abby Champion among the models bringing his visions to life. But The Plaza Hotel serves as a full circle moment in more ways than one since Hilfiger and his wife of 17 years Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger lived in a penthouse inside the NYC staple for more than a decade before moving in 2019. “I’ve long been inspired by American icons and there are few places that…
Andrew Scott will receive the Mill Valley Film Festival‘s Acting Award for his latest performance in “Elsinore.” Scott stars in the Focus Features film portraying Ian Charleson in his celebrated performance as Hamlet at London’s National Theatre, before the actor, known for starring in “Chariots of Fire,” died at the peak of the AIDS crisis in 1990. Directed by Simon Stone and produced by Scott, “Elsinore” tells the deeply emotional and inspirational true story of the late Charleson, a gifted actor whose greatest challenge becomes his greatest triumph. “Facing his own mortality with unflinching honesty, wit, and grace,” the film’s…
Paramount It’s true that Jonathan Frakes is best known for his work as Commander William T. Riker on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” — but it’s also true that the iconic actor’s science fiction resume stretches far beyond the walls of the Enterprise. Frakes, like many of his predecessors and contemporaries within the greater “Star Trek” franchise, has wholeheartedly given his great talents to the genre that made him a household name throughout the course of his impressive career. He’s been a mainstay in the “Star Trek” world since “TNG,”…
At some point in the last 10 to 15 years, the phrase “representation matters” crossed over, at least for me, from a key directive to a tired cliché. I’d grown frustrated by the way some took it to mean that merely putting a (LGBTQ/POC/poor/disabled/what have you) person onscreen was the end goal rather than a first step; the accompanying pressure for those marginalized communities to “feel seen” by these depictions; the implication that making people “feel seen” should be art’s loftiest ambition in the first place. But I never disagreed with the sentiment itself, only the oversimplification of it. A…

Now, we have a first look at the production schedule for the highly anticipated fourth outing. Here’s everything we know so far about Beauty in Black season 4.

Days away from almost certainly tying Mariah Carey’s record for the most weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 with a single song, Ella Langley dominated the CMA Award nominations with nine — two more than her closest competition — and landing in all the top categories, including Entertainer of the Year. It would seem that everything is aligns for Langley and her record-breaking hit, “Choosin’ Texas,” to make a similarly big splash when Grammy nominations are announced on Nov. 16, but it’s still unclear whether the success will translate outside of country categories. Album of the Year Record…
