Luca Guadagnino is returning to the New York Film Festival with a ripped-from-the-headlines new film that wound up making headlines. Artificial, a drama diving into the inner workings and boardroom politics of OpenAI and its leader Sam Altman (played by Andrew Garfield), was originally set to be released by Amazon MGM Studios but was dropped after parent Amazon signed a deal with OpenAI. Neon stepped in and acquired the global rights. (You can catch up on the controversy here.) Artificial appeared to be one of the high-profile movies that would sit out the fall festivals; then on Tuesday, organizers made…

Thanks to an unexpectedly loyal fanbase, one zany sitcom about a talking horse ended up changing television history. From 1961 to 1966, the beloved sitcom “Mister Ed” broadcast the adventures of its titular horse and his quirky keeper Wilbur Post (Alan Young) to CBS viewers across America. But “Mister Ed” took an unconventional path to traditional airwaves. “[Executive producer George Burns] went to all three networks, and [the pilot] didn’t sell,” Young told the Television Academy Foundation in an interview about the sitcom’s legacy, reflecting on the struggles of its early days. Following the failure of the…

But off set, that regimen looks a bit different. “Now, I wake up at 7 a.m., fast until 10 or 11, and have a hearty breakfast,” he explained. “Then, I go to the gym, and when I come back, I have a protein shake. Later, I have another oomph of protein.” And since he’s no longer posing as a Pogue, the Netflix star has also beefed up his gym sessions. “There was a lot of lighter weight, higher reps with John B. to sort of keep that lean look, and now, it’s a lot more of heavy compound lifts,” he…
