Adams’ love story is far from all that. He has been enjoying a happy married life with his partner, Troian Bellisario, but if you’re thinking about what’s special about them… a viral video will show you that.

Despite its title, Insane Like Me? is not about the qualifications for writing for website in 2024. It’s the story of Jake Morgan, played by Britt Bankhead (Call of the Wild) who also co-wrote the script with Chip Joslin. He’s a combat vet, recently returned to the US. He and his girlfriend Samantha are about to join her brother Will and his girlfriend Erica on a Halloween exploration of an allegedly haunted hotel.
Actually it’s a surprise party for Jake, that soon turns into a slaughter as vampires attack, killing the partygoers and Samantha goes missing in the confusion. Jake survives, which does not sit well with Samantha’s father, Sheriff Davis.

We can probably all agree that this wasn't television's best season overall.
Between Hollywood strikes and filming delays, many shows ended up releasing condensed seasons with half as many episodes as normal.
Sadly, Grey's Anatomy was one of them. But the good news is that the groundbreaking medical drama has been renewed for a 21st season, and we have high hopes that it'll be a good one.
Originally airing in March of 2005, Grey's Anatomy has been on the air for a staggering 19 years.
The ABC hit has spawned two wildly popular spinoffs.
From 2007 to 2013, there was Private Practice, which starred Kate Walsh as her beloved Grey's Anatomy character Addison Forbes-Montgomery, and followed a team of doctors practicing medicine in Los Angeles.

Much later, Station 19 premiered in 2018.
This firehouse-based drama brought Ben Warren from Seattle across town to join a team of firefighters.

“What took you so long?”
That was the general vibe of the “Suits” reunion panel Sunday afternoon, where stars Patrick J. Adams, Sarah Rafferty, Dulé Hill, Amanda Schull, and executive Jeff Wachtel gathered to discuss the legal drama that aired for nine seasons on USA Network but gained an expanded following when it hit Netflix in June 2023.
“The people in this room know it’s hard to make TV, and it’s really hard to make good TV, let alone great TV,” Wachtel said. “But on some level, when people ask me if I was surprised [by the resurgence on Netflix], I’m like, what took you so long?”
Wachtel, who was the head of programming at USA Network when “Suits” premiered, praised the cast as well as the casting director who put them together, Bonnie Zane, who was watching from the audience.

Who could imagine Suits without Donna?
Well, believe it or not, Sarah Rafferty’s character — who arguably completes the dynamic between Harvey (Gabriel Macht) and Mike (Patrick J. Adams) and is a part of the fabric of the USA Network legal drama — was not expected to be a series regular when they shot the pilot episode.
“Gabriel called and said, ‘Look, there’s this unbelievable actress that I know, and I know we’re casting Donna and she’s not a regular but it’s the person who’s going to be my assistant. I would love you to read her,” remembered Jeff Wachtel, the former President of USA Network who was largely responsible for developing Suits as well as much of the network’s “Blue Sky” programming.

Could “Suits” be a movie? It’s not out of the question, said star Patrick J. Adams during Sunday’s reunion panel at the Atx TV Festival.
Following a retrospective panel with Adams, Sarah Rafferty, Dulé Hill, Amanda Schull, Abigail Spencer and executive Jeff Wachtel, a fan asked if the cast or creators would ever be interested in a reunion movie. While creator Aaron Korsh couldn’t be there — and is working on the spinoff — he’s interested in it, according to Adams.
“I am a person of no power or authority, but obviously, there’s a ‘Suits: LA‘ show that is being made. That is the focus of Aaron, I think he would agree,” Adams, who played Mike Ross on the legal drama, said. “But it’s definitely something he’s interested in doing, in trying to get the band back together. So it depends on a million things if that can happen,...

With the resurgence of Suits, there’s already a spinoff of the USA Network series in the works — but what about returning to Pearson Hardman (or whatever it’s being called nowadays)?
It’s not out of the realm of possibility, star Patrick J. Adams revealed during Atx’s Suits retrospective where Adams was joined by fellow cast members Sarah Rafferty, Amanda Schull, Dulé Hill, and Abigail Spencer.
“It’s definitely something [creator Aaron Korsh] is interested in doing, trying to get the band back together,” Adams said in response to a fan question about whether Suits would get the movie treatment, similar to other USA Network series. “It’s gonna depend on a million things if that can happen, but is it possible.”

The ninth season of Suits will head to Netflix on July 1, the streamer announced Sunday. The final installment of last year’s viral phenomenon was previously only available on Peacock.
The news came as castmembers Patrick J. Adams, Sarah Rafferty, Dulé Hill, Amanda Schull, Abigail Spencer and former USA Network president Jeff Wachtel gathered Sunday for a reunion panel presented by Tudum at the Atx TV Festival in Austin, Texas.
Suits, which originally premiered on USA Network from 2011 to 2019, followed Mike Ross (Adams), a college dropout with a photographic memory who is hired at a New York law firm by Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). The show’s first eight seasons debuted on Netflix last year to great success — by the end of 2023, it was the most streamed show of the year.
Following the newfound success of the series, NBC ordered a pilot for spinoff show Suits: L.A. earlier this year.

When imagining Dolly Parton, the first word that comes to mind likely isn’t “modest.” The singer favors tight, revealing clothing, bright makeup, and towering wigs. According to those who knew her, though, Parton took modesty seriously. Her friends said that though Parton dressed a certain way, she was modest when it came to her body.
Dolly Parton was surprisingly modest, according to her friends
When Parton began to appear on The Porter Wagoner Show, she turned to seamstress Judy Hunt and designer Lucy Adams to build her a custom wardrobe. These women got to know Parton’s measurements well, but they never saw her body.
“She’s V-e-r-y modest, yes sir!” Hunt said in the book Dolly by Alanna Nash. “I mean she’ll turn that back! Go off in another room! You’re not gonna see her with no clothes on. Now, you can see her in her pantyhose,...

Grey's Anatomy has never been a show for the weak. While there are plenty of medical cases where the doctors are helpless in the face of advancing disease, there is also plenty of interpersonal drama that never gets any better. If you're looking for sunshine and rainbows, this is not the show for you.
However, the drama quality can vary greatly. Some stories are relatable and compelling, making you root for characters who have the perfect chemistry to end up together. Others, created purely to fill screen time with some sort of storyline, are so boring that they're hard to watch and better skipped.
Will Grey’s Anatomy’s Simone and Lukas Get Together?
Back in season 19, Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital welcomed a new group of interns, including the bubbly and sweet Simone Griffith and Lucas Adams, Derek and Amelia Shepherd's nephew. It was pretty obvious that the show would develop them into their own characters,...

Spoiler Alert: The story includes details about the Season 20 finale of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy.
Over the past two decades, Grey’s Anatomy has turned season finale cliffhangers into an art form and, closing out its milestone 20th season, the venerable medical drama did not disappoint.
The last episode — aptly double entendre-titled “Burn It Down” as it takes place during a massive wildfire — served a couple of bombshells.
After the pregnancy false alarm in Episode 5, Jo (Camilla Luddington) and Link (Chris Carmack) agreed that they would want to have a baby one day. That day came far quicker than any of them hoped for: tests done after Jo fainted revealed she was pregnant, a fact she chose not to share with the expectant father, punting that conversation to Season 21.
Kwan (Harry Shum Jr.) also left us hanging with a bomb he casually dropped, revealing to Adams (Niko Terho) that a wildfire...

David O. Russell was having a moment about a decade back, with a series of releases that Made him a director well worth paying attention to. The highlight was American Hustle, a black comedy focused on crime and corruption. It boasts a strong cast, led by Christian Bale, Amy Adams, and Bradley Cooper, but nearly stealing the show was Jennifer Lawrence, still in the early stages of her career.
The film, out now in a new 4K Steelbook format from Sony Home Entertainment, is well worth a look if you missed it in 2013. A year earlier, Cooper and Lawrence danced their way into our hearts with the charming Silver Linings Playbook, and Russell brought them back for this caper, pitting them against one another.
Cooper is an FBI agent who forces con artists Bale and Adams into creating a sting operation intending to take down the May of Camden, New Jersey.

Last month Eddie Marsan faced a happy dilemma: two high-profile projects in which he co-stars –Apple TV+ series “Franklin” led by Michael Douglas and Sam Taylor Johnson’s highly-anticipated Amy Winehouse biopic “Back to Black” – were both being released on the same day, April 12, in Marsan’s native U.K. (“Back to Black came out in the U.S. on May 17).
The resulting publicity maelstrom was, Marsan says, “intense.” And yet despite that, the actor – who has starred in over 150 screen projects including “Ray Donovan,” “Deadpool 2” and Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes,” can truthfully claim to be “not really that famous.”
Partly that’s because his highest profile roles in the U.S. have seen the East London-born actor putting on an American accent, including in “Franklin,” in which he plays the second U.S. President, John Adams. Marsan has a long history with the character, having once been...

Mubi has doubled down on Andrea Arnold’s “Bird” — starring Barry Keoghan and Franz Rogoswki — swooping on North American and Turkish rights to the Cannes competition entry less than two weeks after it announced it had bought the film for the U.K. and Ireland.
The acquisition — which Variety understands came after a fierce bidding war — marks another buzzy U.S. deal for the arthouse distributor, production house and streaming platform as it looks to expand its theatrical presence in North America. Before Cannes kicked off, it made a major splash by picking up body-horror “The Substance” — starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley and one of the biggest talking points of Cannes — for North America, U.K., Ireland, Germany, Austria, Latin America and Benelux, where it will release theatrically this year.

Before Cannes kicked off, it made a major splash by picking up body-horror “The Substance” — starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley and one of the biggest talking points of Cannes — for North America, U.K., Ireland, Germany, Austria, Latin America and Benelux, where it will release theatrically this year.

It is absolutely unbelievable, but we've almost reached the end of Grey's Anatomy's twentieth season.
This week, tons of excitement is happening at Grey Sloan as the writers get us ready for next week's season finale.
Catherine has discovered the truth about what Meredith has been up to, and she's out for blood on Grey's Anatomy Season 20 Episode 9.
This week was pretty fast-paced, which was a nice change after a few slower episodes that focused more on surgical cases than character development.
The first big reveal of the hour was the return of Maggie Pierce, a divisive character the likes of whom we haven't seen in about a year.
People have strong feelings about this character and how she fits into the Grey's Anatomy universe, but I have always loved her.
I'll always be a sucker for the way the writers tied Meredith, Maggie, and Amelia together into a sisterhood,...

The fit hit the shan in Thursday’s Grey’s Anatomy. But Meredith, Amelia and Teddy’s fears that Catherine was about to discover how they’d been spending Grey Sloan’s discretionary funds weren’t the only source of tension. Maggie’s return gave her and Winston a chance to play more scenes from a (defunct) marriage, and Lucas realized that he should have been listening to us all along as we screamed at the TV, “How on earth is this guy a doctor?” Read on, and we’ll dive into how all of the drama shook out — and reveal...

Barry Keoghan, Andrea Arnold and Franz Rogowski in Cannes Photo: Richard Mowe Ask British director Andrea Arnold to explain herself and her films usually results in a left-field answer that nobody could have guessed.
And so it transpired with Bird, her latest film in Competition at the Cannes Film Festival, which stars stars Barry Keoghan, Franz Rogowski, Nykiya Adams and Jason Buda. It follows a 12-year-old youngster (Adams) who lives with her brother (Buda) and single father (Keoghan) in a squat by the seaside. As puberty looms the girl seeks attention and excitement elsewhere. Enter Bird (Rogowski), an enigmatic figure, who provides the promise of escape.
So what was that image that provided the genesis for Bird? Arnold gives a laugh and launches forth regardless: “So a very long time ago I had an image of a very thin and tall young man with a large penis standing on a roof.

Shogun is the best thing that ever happened to Hulu.
It currently sits in the number one spot as the most-watched program in FX's history, backed by massive critical acclaim.
It doesn't begin or end there, either. The book, published in 1975, was also a massive hit, as was the succeeding 1980s TV mini-series.
Since the release of the most recent iteration, television critics and reviewers have brushed off the idea of a second season, much less a third.
The series and the book both end in the same place, after all. Besides a loosely related 1993 novel, Gai-Jin, James Clavell never wrote a sequel.
Only a week ago, most media outlets were waxing poetic about the show's profound wonders and sulking over the sudden loss of Shogun after a ten-episode run.
It's hard to blame them. What else is there to cover?
Sure, showrunners Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo did...

Power, the new documentary centered on the police in the United States, comes from the stable of Netflix, but it is certainly not your regular “true crime” entertainment. The Yance Ford-directed documentary is not based on any particular event. Instead, it takes the route of being introspective about the whole police system. Ford, who’s an Emmy winner, has already proved his mettle in documentary filmmaking with the very personal Strong Island, where he investigated the murder of his own brother. Unlike Strong Island, Ford’s latest work is based on a general topic and an exploration of it. Let’s take a closer look.
What is the documentary about?
The word “police” implies power, and Ford’s documentary goes deep into finding out the origin of it. Ford starts from the very beginning, which was the creation of the first ever police force in America in 1883 in Boston.

Less than 24 hours after the world premiere of Cannes favorite Andrea Arnold’s new competition entry Bird, the filmmaker joined her cast for the festival press conference inside the Palais on Friday. The wide-ranging session covered Arnold’s creative influences, casting choices and the music playlists she gives to her actors.
It also touched on star Barry Keoghan‘s dance abilities as the actor delivers another on screen dance break, this one following his viral fully nude Saltburn finale to the tune of Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dance Floor.” In Arnold’s Bird, Keoghan busts a move to “Cotton Eye Joe” and then delivers a solo performance at the microphone, singing and dancing to serenade his new bride at their wedding reception.

British auteur Andrea Arnold follows up her last feature, the poignant, non-verbal slice-of-farmyard-life that is the documentary Cow, with a new member of her cinematic menagerie: drama Bird, an uplifting competitor for Cannes’ Palme d’Or.
With mostly human characters and actual dialogue, in some ways this is taxonomically more like her gritty-as-asphalt, early social-realist work, especially Fish Tank and Oscar-winning short Wasp, which, like Bird, were shot in the southerly county of Kent, U.K., where Arnold grew up. But then suddenly, out of the milieu’s marshy semi-urban landscape of empty beer cans, cigarette butts, domestic abuse and despair, the film takes magical-realist flight and transforms into something unlike anything Arnold’s done before. Thanks to the director’s magisterial knack with actors (especially non-professionals such as terrific adolescent discovery Nykiya Adams, who, as the protagonist, is in nearly every frame of the film), the result is quite entrancing.

Barry Keoghan smiled from ear to ear as Andrea Arnold’s latest film, “Bird,” earned a seven-minute standing ovation at its Cannes Film Festival premiere on Thursday.
Festival favorite Arnold, who brought the Shia Labeouf-starring “American Honey” to Cannes in 2016 and her documentary “Cow” in 2021, basked in appreciation as the audience applauded the drama. “Thank you, this is really lovely but I really want to go and party right now,” she said as laughter erupted in the room.
While Keoghan was the biggest name in “Bird,” the loudest cheers were offered to his young co-stars, including Jason Buda and Jasmine Jobson. Some of the cast, although they may have been on the red carpet outside, were too young to make it into the screening.

Andrea Arnold‘s anticipated new film Bird touched down at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday for an afternoon world premiere at the Grand Lumiere Theatre. And it got a warm reception, including a seven-minute standing ovation.
The competition title stars Barry Keoghan, Franz Rogowski, Nykiya Adams and Jason Buda star in the film which follows a 12-year-old (Adams) who lives with her brother (Buda) and single dad (Keoghan) in a squat in North Kent. As she approaches puberty she seeks attention and adventure elsewhere. The drudgery of everyday life is thrown off kilter when she meets Bird (Rogowski).
The showing marked a triumphant return to Cannes for Arnold, who has become one of the festival’s most beloved and award-winning veterans. She last was on the Croisette to present her film, Cow, in 2021. Before that, she picked up a jury prize in 2016 for American Honey, a fable of life in the U.

There is only one Andrea Arnold, as much as her contemporaries in Europe and beyond try to imitate her particular style: emotionally heightened social realism with often first-time actors playing characters not far from their real selves. That itself started in the 1950s with British kitchen sink realism. Yet Arnold has done much to imbue it with a radical poetry that finds the beauty in a hardscrabble life, from a volatile East London teenager with hip-hop ambitions in “Fish Tank” (2009) to the rumbling road odyssey “American Honey” (2016) that found Arnold shooting in the United States for the first time.
Her latest film “Bird,” continuing a tradition for one-word titles centered around animalia Arnold started in 2001 with her short film “Dog” and more recently with the documentary “Cow,” is a departure for Arnold in a key way: This sensitively drawn if opaque coming-of-age fable about 12-year-old Bailey (newcomer Nykiya Adams) uses,...

On the eve of the world premiere of her new film Bird at the Cannes Film Festival, festival favorite Andrea Arnold revealed that the shoot was the toughest of her career.
“It was the hardest film I ever made,” Arnold said from the stage on Wednesday while accepting the 2024 Carrosse d’Or, or Golden Coach Award, at the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes. “There were many challenges, more than usual, and there seemed to be more restrictions than I’d ever known. Lots of things I’ve put on the page and cared about got lost, so the edit was really hard. It was proving really hard to carve from the rushes something of the film I had intended. I was grieving the losses and I felt pretty vulnerable.”

Amy Adams has been in development with Nightbitch for over a year, but details have now started to surface as the neo-horror film has recently released a new poster from Searchlight Pictures. The film has been written and directed by Marielle Heller (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), Nightbitch is based on a novel by Rachel Yoder. The film will tell the story of “a suburban mom thrown into the stay-at-home routine of raising a toddler. As she embraces the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood, she becomes increasingly aware of the bizarre and undeniable signs that she may be turning into a dog.”
Adams plays that possibly canine housewife. Scoot McNairy (Monsters) is also in the cast, playing her “oft-traveling husband,” while Mary Holland, who is best known for appearing in the Netflix release Senior Year and for co-writing and co-starring in Clea DuVall’s romantic comedy Happiest Season, takes on an unspecified role.

Marielle Heller is a young American filmmaker known for her debut feature The Diary of a Teenage Girl, as well as for the Tom Hanks-led A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, which told the story of Fred Rogers, one of America’s most famous television presenters. Well, the filmmaker has taken on a new project, which will be released later this year, and we can already confirm that it will be something wholly different than Heller’s work so far, but with the cast involved and the surreal story, it promises to be a very exciting feature.
The movie in question is going to be titled Nightbitch, and it is slated for a December 6, 2024 release. The movie will be based on the eponymous book by Rachel Yoder, which deals with the issues of motherhood from a very surreal and different perspective, showing how it can be both horrid and hilarious at the same time.

This six-time Oscar nominee actress, 49, takes on the role of a woman who begins to transform into a dog (or believes she is the one… it remains to be seen).

The first official poster for upcoming horror comedy, Nightbitch, has been released to mark Mother's Day. The surreal-sounding horror comedy stars Amy Adams (Man of Steel) as a woman who starts to believe she's undergoing a hair-raising transformation.
The six-time Academy Award nominee will play a woman who begins to transform into a dog (or thinks she does... it's not really clear). Searchlight Pictures acquired the project, which is described as a "darkly comic horror" adaptation of Rachel Yoder’s acclaimed debut novel of the same name.
Can You Ever Forgive Me? director Marielle Heller will take the helm.
“She’s incredible, I mean, we all know Amy Adams is incredible," Heller said of Adams' performance in a recent interview with IndieWire. "She’s been nominated for a million Academy Awards. She’s amazing, but she really is special in this movie and I’m just so excited for the world to see her.
