Principal photography has begun on “The Captive,” a historical epic from “The Others’” Alejandro Amenábar, starring Julio Peña (“Berlin”) as “Don Quixote” author Miguel de Cervantes, a prisoner of Ottoman corsairs, seen in a very first still from the film, alongside Alessandro Borghi (“Suburra”), playing his captor, which has been shared in exclusivity with Variety.
Paris and London-based production, finance and sales house Film Constellation handles worldwide sales. Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture is on board to release the film in Spain in 2025.

Based at the stunning Opera and Ballet State Theatre in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi, this company of “versatile and accomplished” dancers (The New York Times) has soared under the bold artistic direction of world-renowned, Georgian-born Nina Ananiashvili, former prima ballerina with Bolshoi Ballet and American Ballet Theatre. Ananiashvili, considered one of the all-time greats, returned home to her native country in 2004 to lead the company. The State Ballet of Georgia’s last visit to the UK was in 2008 when they performed at the Edinburgh International Festival. Having performed on the London Coliseum stage in 1999 (as Kitri in Don Quixote with the Bolshoi), Ananiashvili now brings her company to London for the first time.

Orson Welles famously started but never finished an adaptation in Spain of Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes’ beloved 17th-century novel. Terry Gilliam’s first attempt to shoot his take on Quixote fell apart so spectacularly in 2000 that it resulted in a widely viewed “unmaking-of” documentary titled, grimly, Lost in La Mancha.
But they weren’t just tilting at windmills. Gilliam completed The Man Who Killed Don Quixote nearly two decades later, making it one of literally dozens of screen adaptations from around the world based on the widely published novel. In April, Oscar-winning director Alejandro Amenábar (The Sea Inside)will start shooting on The Captive, an origin tale about a young, storytelling Cervantes in an Algiers prison in 1575.

Jazmin Renée Jones’ “Seeking Mavis Beacon” isn’t your typical kind of quest movie. Premiering in the Next section at Sundance, the format-defying film follows the nonbinary Black filmmaker on an elaborate search to find — but also to better understand — someone who shaped what they thought of the world and themselves. Someone who didn’t really exist: the cover model for popular 1987 computer program “Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing.”
As past users of the bestselling software surely recall (but may never have consciously considered), Mavis Beacon was a Black woman — knowledgeable and warm, with a striking face and long, elegant fingernails — who encouraged young people to master their keyboard skills. She served as a virtual teacher and confidant for countless kids, including Jones and computer prodigy Olivia McKayla Ross.
An early example of AI, Mavis Beacon was an invention of three white male computer programmers. Why did they choose a Black woman as their avatar?...

I think Walt would be grumpy.
This is the week when the media celebrates the Magic Kingdom’s 100th birthday, but Walt Disney were around today, I think he’d cringe at the state of guild negotiations, fights with politicians and jumps in theme park prices (or streamer fees).
Having gained immortality for entertaining kids, he might still agonize about the major new commitment to sports betting made through ESPN, a Disney asset.
As one of the few people still around who actually spent time with the shy and media-averse studio pioneer, I found myself reflecting this week on those topics that Walt liked (and disliked) talking about.
I’m a fairly good note-taker, and as such I can report precisely what he was excited and angry about in December 1965 – one year before he died. Although he looked a bit weary and struggled with a chain-smoker’s cough, he had...

Leave it to a film production company to make the best of a bad situation. At least cinematically, that is. In 2020, the Beirut-based Abbout Productions was in pre-production on a film called Costa Brava, Lebanon when the city was rocked by a devastating explosion at the Port of Beirut that decimated much of the area. Cyril Aris’ documentary, world-premiering at Karlovy Vary, chronicles the production team’s determined efforts to go ahead with the film despite a plethora of obstacles. Not only did they have to deal with catastrophic damage to homes and offices, but also the pandemic, fuel shortages and a currency in free fall. Dancing on the Edge of a Volcano compellingly tells the story of filmmaking by fire.
Beirut, of course, is a place that has seen more than its share of travails, as the opening footage of the city in ruins in 1980 during the Lebanese Civil War illustrates.

Gordon Lightfoot, the legendary Canadian singer-songwriter, has died at the age of 84.
“Gordon Lightfoot passed away this evening in a Toronto hospital at 7:30 p.m.,” a statement on Lightfoot’s Facebook page announced on Monday, May 1st. The statement promised more information “to come.”
Born in Orillia, Ontario in 1938, Lightfoot became known and beloved as Canada’s folk troubadour, an artist who stayed true to his roots despite international success. Songs like “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” and “Canadian Railroad Trilogy” depicted the culture, landscapes, and history of his Canadian home and grew to become both hits and signature tracks.
In the 2019 documentary Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind, Rush’s Geddy Lee called Lightfoot “our poet laureate… our iconic singer-songwriter,” while Tom Cochrane noted, “If there was a Mt. Rushmore in Canada, Gordon would be on it.”

Gordon Lightfoot, the honey-voiced Canadian singer-songwriter who had giant U.S. hits with “If You Could Read My Mind,” “Sundown” and “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” died today at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto. He was 84.

K-pop group Seventeen have shared their latest mini-album, titled Fml. The six-track project includes two lead singles alongside unit tracks from the hip-hop team, performance team, and vocal unit of the band. Stream the album below.
The double singles, titled “F*ck My Life” and “Super,” show different sides of the thirteen-member group — “F*ck My Life” flips the acronym Fml around to encourage listeners to “fight for their lives.” “Super,” meanwhile, is an explosive, high-energy group track that is accompanied by the group’s trademark synchronization in choreography. Of the contrasting lead singles, band leader S.Coups shares, “Our new album contains both the music we want to present and the messages we want to convey.”
Notably, Fml exceeded 4.64 million pre-orders, which makes it the most pre-ordered album in K-pop history. This project is the band’s follow-up to 2022’s Face the Sun, the act’s fourth full-length album...

Benoît Magimel won best actor César for his role in Pacifiction earlier this year, the second time in a row he had picked up the prize. He said at the time: 'I don’t think I ever had so much freedom as an actor as on this film'. Serra says of the star: 'He was very brave in his attitude' Photo: New Wave Actors either love or hate working with Catalan director Albert Serra, who creates his own special worlds on the set as he shoots. He knows that he puts his cast under a lot of pressure but that’s part of the deal when they sign on.

Our brief respite from seeing Donald Trump on the campaign trail since he launched his 2024 campaign in mid-November has come to an end, meaning we are all once again subjected to his unfiltered hot takes, including wacky claims against his old foe: windmills. (The Don Quixote jokes write themselves.)
During a speech to the New Hampshire Republican State Committee’s annual meeting, Trump mocked Biden’s energy policies. “The price of oil hits an all-time high, and that was the day [Biden] said, ‘No drill, we’re not gonna drill. We’re going wind.

"Don't finish it, leave it as a dream..." Bohemia Media is finally releasing this filmmaking documentary in the US on VOD starting in August. 20 years after the doc Lost in La Mancha (2002), Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe come back to follow Terry Gilliam’s final and successful attempt at filming The Man Who Killed Don Quixote - which debuted in 2018. From the same team behind La Mancha, He Dreams of Giants is the culmination of a trilogy of documentaries following director Terry Gilliam over a 25 year period. Charting his final, beleaguered quest to adapt Don Quixote, this film is a potent study of creative obsession. Using verité footage of Gilliam's production with intimate interviews + archival footage from the director's entire career, He Dreams of Giants is a revealing character study of a late-career artist, and a meditation on the value of unabashed creativity in the face of mortality. Considering both...

Seventeen stans are getting well-fed as the K-pop superstars release their album Face the Sun Thursday. To celebrate the nine-track project, Seventeen also released the music video for the album’s lead single, “Hot.” It’s the group’s first LP since An Ode dropped in 2019.
In the video, the group navigates a post-apocalyptic desert landscape, wielding baseball bats and dodging everything from bullets to motorcycles. “No night, just day/The sun scorched red,” the group sings. “Like the world’s in monochrome, like it’s become one tone/Deep...

Gilliam’s epic travails filming Don Quixote are well worth seeing again – and should be on the syllabus at every film school
The creative heroism of Terry Gilliam is saluted once again in this 20-year-anniversary rerelease of Lost in La Mancha, the documentary by Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe about Gilliam’s incredible ordeal in the late 90s in trying to make a movie version of Don Quixote: a salutary warning about the physical and mental nightmare of independent film-making. Gilliam’s leading man, veteran French star Jean Rochefort, suffered a herniated disc midway through shooting and was unable to carry on, dealing a death blow to an under-funded, over-ambitious production already traumatised by biblical floods that swept away their equipment in the Spanish desert, Nato jets overhead which ruined the soundtrack, and insurers who wouldn’t pay out on Rochefort’s illness and became the obstructive legal owners...

Emilio Delgado, the actor best known for his beloved role as “Fix-It-Shop” owner Luis Rodriguez on “Sesame Street,” has died, his representative confirmed to Variety. He was 81.
“We are saddened by the news of Emilio’s passing,” Robert Attermann, CEO of A3 Artists Agency, said in a statement. “Emilio was an immense talent who brought so much joy and smiles to his fans. He will be missed by many and we know his legacy will live on. Our thoughts are with his loved ones, including his wife, Carole.”
A Mexican American born in California and raised in Mexico, Delgado got his start as an actor in the late 60s working in summer stock theater. His first ever screen credit was in the Mexican soap opera “Canción de la Raza.” In 1970, he enrolled as a student in the California Institute of the Arts. The summer before his second year at the school,...

Terry Gilliam‘s The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is more well-known for its behind-the-scenes stories than its actual content. Gilliam started working on the pic in 1989, but a series of misfortunes continually got in the way. Gilliam’s long, strange quest to get the movie made was already chronicled once in the documentary Lost in La Mancha, […]

After decades of behind-the-scenes issues, Terry Gilliam was able to film and release his long-awaited, “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote,” in 2018. And like most things that have been hyped up for 25 years, the film was perfectly fine, if not a little disappointing. But for those that weren’t terribly impressed by ‘Don Quixote’ but are fascinated by the drama of getting the film made, “He Dreams of Giants” is for you.

The documentary was produced by Speth through Berlin-based Madonnen Film, and co-written with Reinhold Vorschneider.
Mr Bachmann And His Class explores the close bond between an elementary school teacher and his students. His unconventional methods clash with the complex social and cultural realities of the provincial German industrial town they live in.

[Editor’s Note: The following article contains spoilers for “Mank,” which streams on Netflix December 4.]
David Fincher pal Steven Soderbergh often consults on early cuts of his movies (including the friendly product placement of Soderbergh’s imported Singani 63 brandy in “Gone Girl”) — and “Mank” was no different. Turns out Soderbergh’s only complaint about the “Citizen Kane” biopic was the execution of the costume party set piece, where drunken screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman) goes on a long tirade against Machiavellian publisher William Randolph Hearst (Charles Dance) in front of his Hollywood friends at San Simeon.
“Soderbergh came during an early assembly and he just didn’t get why Hearst was putting up with Mank’s shit,” said editor Kirk Baxter (two-time Oscar winner for “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and “The Social Network”). “And David and I talked about that. I very much make a movie with David, for David, and I’m not exposed to...

Elegant movie star Grace Kelly was not just a stunning beauty but a gifted performer, so some might be surprised to learn that her film career lasted just five years. During those years, the regal blonde won an Oscar and worked with Alfred Hitchcock three times, in “Dial M for Murder,” “To Catch a Thief” and “Rear Window” — perhaps her signature role.
Hollywood’s big question when she married Prince Albert Rainier of Monaco in 1956 was whether she would continue to act. Fans and the media all wanted to know what would happen, but it seemed unlikely — after all, Rita Hayworth had found being a princess incompatible with being a movie star and her marriage to Prince Aly Khan lasted just a few years.
Americans are most familiar with the monarchs of Britain, thanks to generations of media coverage. But for several decades, Yankees faithfully followed another royal family, the Grimaldis of Monaco,...

A 6+ minutes short that eventually became a feature (as is the case with many of Khavn’s works) “Kommander Kulas” is another film of his that seems to defy every cinematic convention.
The narrative begins in repetitive fashion, with sequences of a man who is probably Kommander Kulas, riding his water buffalo in the jungle, at a leisure pace, while a soft voice narrates repeatedly that he had a restless night, in which he dreamt he was a giant cockroach. As soon as the narration ends, a number of grotesque, to the point of being blasphemous shots appear, including a nun with a butchering knife, a dead, naked woman and an almost completely naked man who only wears stockings and a bra. As Kulas reaches an urban setting, the narration changes after and reveals that the Kommander has lost his heart and is in search for it, with the camera...

Hollywood super-indie banner Anonymous Content is partnering with Païva Studio, a production label owned by French media group Mediawan, on “Civilizations,” an ambitious series based on Laurent Binet’s (“HHhH”) bestselling novel.
The epic series, set to be shot in South America and Europe in several languages, delivers a plausible rewriting of global history in which Christopher Columbus never discovered America and the Incas came to Europe.
Paiva Studio and Mediawan Rights, the commercial arm of the group, have acquired the adaptation rights to “Civilizations” which was published in August 2019 in French and was awarded the prestigious “Grand Prix du Roman” 2019 by the Académie Française. The translation rights for “Civilizations” have already been acquired for 16 languages. Binet’s (pictured) most famous novel is “HHhH” which was translated into 34 languages and adapted for the big screen in 2017 by Cédric Jimenez, with a cast headlined by Jason Clarke and Rosamund Pike.

Fans of the original books by Eoin Colfer are incensed by the latest film trailer, which seems confused on the hero’s morality
As chequered histories go, the story of Artemis Fowl’s marathon trek to the big screen is not quite up there with that of Terry Gilliam’s famously long-gestating The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, but it is not far removed. First conjured up almost two decades ago under the now largely defunct Miramax studio, it has had to survive the departure of several directors, numerous attempts at a screenplay and the removal of Harvey Weinstein as producer.
Unfortunately, as the film enters the final strait of its long journey to the multiplex, the news is not getting any better. Finally due out in May, with Kenneth Branagh in the director’s chair and a cast that includes Judi Dench, Colin Farrell and Josh Gad, the movie...

The annual New York International Antiquarian Book Fair is a maze of glass shelves and display case lighting, a bounty of time portals in the arrangement of a sprawling jewelry convention. Two fourth-edition copies of Don Quixote ask for $120k, while another case contains Jp Morgan’s copy of Shakespeare’s Third Folio. There’s a Hemingway archive containing a doll figure of Fidel Castro, cherubic face swallowed by a curly black beard, and a stand dedicated to ephemera of the occult. The clock overhead at the Park Armory, in the city’s Upper East Side, points directly to the 4 and 6, a position no working analog clock would assume.

It’s been plagued by endless delays, natural disasters, dying actors, greedy financiers and good old-fashioned Icarus-level hubris. It’s been called one of the most cursed film productions ever. Most folks assumed that Terry Gilliam’s “Don Quixote” project would never, ever be made, much less see the light of day. (This demographic included the director himself.) And, having finally slouched its way to completion and a contested premiere at Cannes in 2018, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote knows that an against-the-odds backstory is as much a marketing tool...
