"He wouldn't leave without telling anybody..." Or would he...? An official trailer has debuted for an indie psychological thriller film with the most obvious and generic title ever – Dark Obsession, made by British filmmaker George Henry Horton. Not to be confused with any other dark obsession thrillers with a similar title, including 1989's Dark Obsession. A painter struggles with inner demons after being forced into a life of solitude when her husband leaves mysteriously. Do answers lie with her mother, who desperately tries to connect with her, or also her fearful neighbor? "When we first started filming, we were told by SAG we were the first pandemic film shooting in the whole of the Southern United States. That we pulled it off is nothing short of a testament to the dedication and talent of our wonderful cast and crew," the filmmakers say. This dark mystery thriller stars Blaine Morris, Mena Suvari,...

The new James Bond film “No Time to Die” will open in Australia on Nov. 11 due to “changes specific to the Australian marketplace impacted by Covid,” according to MGM.
Most patrons would not have been able to see the Daniel Craig film in theaters, since more than 60% of the Australian marketplace is currently in a state of lockdown, which the government mandated will remain in place until 70% of the population is vaccinated. Businesses will be allowed to function normally after the country reaches an 80% vaccination rate, which is estimated to be in mid-November.
“No Time to Die” was originally set to open in Australia as well as in the U.K. on Sept. 30, a week ahead of the U.S. release date which is still set for Oct. 8.
Location Managers Awards Nominees Announced
The nominees for the 8th Annual Location Managers Guild International (Lmgi) Awards were announced today by Lmgi President John Rakich/Lmgi.

Kendall Jenner doesn.t believe in the saying .forgive and forget..
The 18 year old model.s lawyers have served a cease and desist notice to Blaine Morris, former Skins actress. They have demanded that the former actress print an "appropriate retraction and sincere apology" for her tweet against the reality star.
According to Morris, Jenner, with her pal Hailey Baldwin, dined in an NYC restaurant, and left in a huff, without paying the bill, because they weren.t provided alcohol. When Morris chased her with the bill, Kendall apparently threw money in her face. This story was picked up by the New York Post and blew the whole situation out of proportion.
"That horrible moment you chase a Kardashian down the street because she forgot to pay her bill to be thrown money in your face," Morris tweeted on Aug. 5 (& consequently deleted it later).

Kendall Jenner insists that she was raised better than to mistreat a restaurant employee—and mom Kris Jenner agrees that her daughter would never do such a thing. Former Skins actress Blaine Morris, who recently waited on Kendall and some of her pals at New York City's Mercer Kitchen, where she's working as a server, claimed that she had to run after the 18-year-old when she forgot to pay her bill, tweeting-then-deleting, "That horrible moment you chase a Kardashian down the street because she forgot to pay her bill to be thrown money in your face." Kendall's attorney has since sent Morris a cease-and-desist letter demanding she print an "appropriate retraction and sincere...

She’s only 18 years old and already Kendall Jenner is getting a taste of the legal craziness of the entertainment business.
After actress/waitress Blaine Morris tweeted that the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” babe skipped out on her bill, only to throw money in Morris’ face when confronted, Kendall’s lawyer Marty Singer jumped into lawsuit mode.
Singer wrote a letter to explain that Jenner was “extremely apologetic” and “politely handed her” $40 (2 $20 bills) to cover the $33 bill plus a $7 tip.
Furthermore, declared Marty, "Although you are working as a waitress at Mercer Kitchen, I understand you are also a struggling actress. You no doubt concocted a fictionalized account of your encounter with my client in order to create publicity for yourself."...

Kendall Jenner remains offended. Lawyers for the 18-year-old E! star have sent a cease and desist notice to former Skins actress Blaine Morris, demanding that she print an "appropriate retraction and sincere apology" for a tweet that allegedly formed the basis for an Aug. 10 New York Post story claiming that Kendall and pal Hailey Baldwin dined at a New York restaurant, left without paying because they were refused alcohol service and then flippantly tossed money at Morris—their server that night—when she ran after them with the bill.

She’s been accused of some seriously diva-like behavior over the years, but Kendall Jenner insists she’s not guilty of disrespecting a New York City waitress last week.
While dining at the Mercer Kitchen with Hailey Baldwin, the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” starlet was accused of trying to walk out on her bill.
And when waitress Blaine Morris followed her out of the restaurant, Jenner supposedly took a few $20 bills out of her purse and tossed them in her face while laughing.
Morris even tweeted, "That horrible moment you chase a Kardashian down the street because she forgot to pay her bill to be thrown money in your face."
However, yesterday (August 12) Kendall tweeted, "These rumors r absolutely ridiculous! I would never throw money in anyone's face or act that disrespectfully. I was raised better than that. Said it once and I'll say it again, don't believe everything you read!

Perhaps Page Six is getting its reality TV stars confused. Though Scott Disick once shoved a wad of cash in a waiter's mouth during an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians (he later apologized), Kendall Jenner didn't emulate his behavior during a recent dinner with Hailey Baldwin last week. The alleged incident took place at New York City's Mercer Kitchen. The New York Post's Page Six reported Monday that the 18-year-old model bailed on her $60 bill after the staff refused to serve her alcohol. Her server, Blaine Morris (who played Betty Nardone on MTV's Skins), ran outside to ask the girls to pay their bill. "Kendall and Hailey started laughing," a source said. According...

She’s been busy with a bustling modeling career, and it turns out Kendall Jenner forgot to pay her bill while grabbing some grub with Hailey Baldwin earlier this month.
On August 4th, the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star and her gal pal hit up the Mercer Kitchen in New York City and unsuccessfully tried to order an alcoholic drink.
Actress Blaine Morris (of MTV’s “Skins”) just happened to be Kendall’s waitress and told press that Jenner got up and walked out without paying the check.
Morris tweeted, “That horrible moment you chase a Kardashian down the street because she forgot to pay her bill to be thrown money in your face.”
And per an insider, "The staff wouldn't serve her [booze] because she's underage so Kendall got up and left and didn’t pay for all the food ... about $60 worth, and without a tip.”
