[ad_1] Nevertheless, Coppola knew what she wanted and, pressed for time, Godin and Dunckle returned to the studio for a weekend. In need of vocals, they turned to the only singer they knew, fellow Versailles native and Phoenix frontman, Thomas Mars, who in a twist of fate no one could have anticipated, Coppola would later end up marrying. “We showed Thomas the scene where ‘Highschool Lover’ plays,” Dunckle recalls. “It was in the scene where you have Trip Fontaine lying on the floor with Lux and there’s this theme playing in the background. So that’s why he was thinking about ‘playground love’…
[ad_1] It’s a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day for Steve (Cillian Murphy). As the headmaster at Stanton Wood, a boarding school for troubled young men, he shows up to work and is greeted by bickering students, physical altercations, and an under-appreciated staff that needs his help. He also learns from a couple trustees that the board is shutting down Stanton Wood for good in six months. And, oh yeah, a documentary crew has already set up shop throughout the hallways and classrooms to interview kids and teachers for an exposé on this chaotic operation. If the set-up to Steve can…

[ad_1] Everyone hates when awards shows go long. And the number one reason why they go long are the acceptance speeches. They’re the ultimate variable. People have waited their whole lives to win a prize and to thank their mom, their grandfather, their first drama teacher, their agent, their team, their manager, their dog, their whatever. See? Just writing the first names that came to my mind went on for way too long.As part of an amusing effort to cut down on longer speeches — and to generate coverage like this very article — this year’s Emmys host Nate Bargatze…
[ad_1] At barely two years old, Harmony Korine’s “post-cinema” company EDGLRD is already branching out. After directing AGGRO DR1FT and Baby Invasion, Korine takes on a producer role for Barrio Triste, the feature debut of Colombian-American artist Stillz. It’s a good match of talents, given Stillz’s background as a music video director for artists like Bad Bunny and Rosalia, and while Barrio Triste takes a vibes-based approach à la Korine’s last two features it’s an entirely different beast. Exhilarating, tense, personal, and enigmatic, Barrio Triste is a compelling look at a lost generation in search of salvation, and among this…

[ad_1] Just when you thought the hype couldn’t get any higher, the team behind The Bads of Bollywood has dropped another massive surprise. With the series from Aryan Khan, son of Shah Rukh Khan, just days away from its September 18 premiere, T-Series has unveiled a teaser for a special promotional video titled Ghafoor. The announcement was made on social media with a cryptic post asking, “Who is Ghafoor?” and a promise that the video will be “Out Tomorrow”. The post was cheekily signed off with “P.S.
