‘Star Wars’ and ‘Indiana Jones’ rarities are in Lawrence Kasdan’s university archive

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Researchers, documentary filmmakers and others will soon be able to get their hands on screenwriter and director Lawrence Kasdan’s papers at his alma mater, the University of Michigan.

Archivists are about a quarter of the way through cataloging the 150-plus boxes of material that document the 76-year-old filmmaker’s role in bringing to life iconic characters like Indiana Jones and Yoda, and directing actors ranging from Geena Davis and Glenn Close to Morgan Freeman and Kevin Costner.

“All I wanted to ever do was be a movie director. And so, all the details meant something to me,” Kasdan said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I couldn’t be happier to have this mass of stuff available to anybody who is interested.”

The archive includes scripts, call sheets and still photos — including a few rarities.

Before Costner became an Oscar winner and Hollywood icon, he worked various studio jobs while taking nighttime drama lessons. His break — or so he thought — came when Kasdan cast him in 1983’s “The Big Chill.”

Costner played Alex, whose death brings his fellow Michigan alums together. Unfortunately his big flashback scene ended up on the cutting-room floor.

What are believed to be among the only existing photographs of the famously deleted scene are part of the Kasdan collection, now housed in Ann Arbor.

“Different people will be interested in different things,” Kasdan said, pointing to his work writing the “Raiders of the Lost Ark” screenplay as one possible destination for researchers. The archive features audio cassette recordings of Kasdan discussing the film with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. It also includes Polaroids taken of cast and crew members on the sets of his movies.

There are props, too, including a cowboy hat from the 1985 Western “Silverado,” worn by none other than Costner. Kasdan and the kid from California would work together again on “Wyatt Earp” in the ’90s. Costner also starred in “The Bodyguard,” which Kasdan wrote.

A number of unproduced scripts also are part of the collection.

“I’ve always considered myself a director and a writer. And if you are really interested in any particular movie, you can follow the evolution of that movie in the archive,” Kasdan said.

Library staff members are working chronologically through Kasdan’s material, meaning the papers for Kasdan’s earliest work — including “Body Heat” and “The Big Chill,” as well as the scripts for two “Star Wars” classics, “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi” — can be accessed first.

The remaining material should be completely processed by late 2026, said Phil Hallman, the curator of the collection. Hallman hopes to have Kasdan visit, perhaps next fall, to see the archive and take part in a symposium.

Kasdan’s papers are part of the University of Michigan Library’s Screen Arts Mavericks and Makers Collection, which includes Orson Welles, Robert Altman, Jonathan Demme, Nancy Savoca and John Sayles. Kasdan, who grew up in West Virginia and earned a bachelor’s degree in 1970 and a master’s two years later, is the lone Michigan alum among the group.

“To be there, held in the same place as those wonderful directors, is really a great honor,” Kasdan said.

Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson to Return for ‘Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping’

Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson are returning to the games.

The two stars, known for their roles in Lionsgate‘s original Hunger Games films, will appear in the forthcoming prequel movie The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Lionsgate releases the new feature in theaters Nov. 20, 2026.

Lawrence will reprise her role as Katniss Everdeen, while Hutcherson will return as Peeta Mellark, with the pair likely appearing in a flash-forward. No details have been disclosed.

Francis Lawrence directs the movie adaptation of Suzanne Collins‘ best-selling novel. The previously confirmed castmembers of Sunrise on the Reaping include Ralph Fiennes as President Snow, Jesse Plemons as Plutarch Heavensbee, Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Beetee Latier, Kieran Culkin as Caesar Flickerman, and Elle Fanning as Effie Trinket. Joseph Zada, Glenn Close, Mckenna Grace, Maya Hawke and Whitney Peak round out the core cast.

The book Sunrise on the Reaping takes place in Panem on the morning of the reaping for the 50th Hunger Games, 24 years before the events in The Hunger Games, the first novel that published in 2008. The franchise’s first five movies have surpassed $3.3 billion at the worldwide box office, with the initial four films led by Lawrence as Katniss, Hutcherson as Peeta, and Liam Hemsworth as Gale Hawthorne. The film series kicked off with 2012’s The Hunger Games.

Lawrence and Hutcherson’s most recent entry in the franchise was 2015’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2, which ended with the pair married with children. Lawrence earned a Golden Globe Award nomination this week for her role in Die My Love, while Hutcherson currently stars in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.

Francis Lawrence helms the new movie from a script by Billy Ray that adapts Collins’ book. Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson produce for Color Force, while Cameron MacConomy executive produces.

Sunrise on the Reaping is a sequel to 2023’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, which starred Rachel Zegler, Tom Blyth and Hunter Schafer.

Lionsgate did not respond for comment.

The In S neider was first to report on Lawrence and Hutcherson being involved.

Reviews For The Easily Distracted:Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery – Houston Press

Title: Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery

Describe This Movie In One Jewel of the Nile Quote:
TARAK: Ralph, that is not the Sufi way.
RALPH: I don’t know what got into me, Jewels. Every time I’m around this guy he makes me crazy.

Brief Plot Synopsis: Like if that Southern colonel from the Foghorn Leghorn cartoons solving crimes.

Rating Using Random Objects Relevant To The Film: 3.5 Our Time in Edens out of 5.

Credit: Wikipedia

Tagline: N/A

Better Tagline: “The best priests are the ones who murdered people in their past lives.”

Not So Brief Plot Synopsis: Murder! Murder most foul has been committed at Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude, and Monsignor Wicks (Josh Brolin) is the victim. The list of suspects is both lengthy and colorful. Is it newly installed Father Jud (Josh O’Connor)? Or perhaps Wick’s right-hand woman Martha (Glenn Close)? And let’s not forget the flock, which includes lawyer Vera Draven (Kerry Washington), the town doctor (Jeremy Renner), a former bestselling author (Andrew Scott), and a celebrated cellist (Cailee Spaeny). Thanks goodness famous detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is on the case.

“Critical” Analysis: The Knives Out movies — of which Wake Up Dead Man is the third — aren’t really about the mysteries. The first two films solved their whodunits by the second act, backfilling details we’d assumed were tangential to the main event. Glass Onion threw in a second act twist that some felt was a cheap trick, though my problems were more with the second movie’s pacing and performances, especially compared to Knives Out’s cast.

Writer/director Rian Johnson, closing out his 500 million dollar Netflix deal, leans more into character development this time around. Father Jud’s pre-clergy background, Vera and Cy’s shared past, and Martha’s pained history with the church and Monsignor Wicks. We’re aware of the so-called “Good Friday Murder” almost from the jump, but Johnson takes a while building to it.

Wake Up Dead Man is at least somewhat less cluttered than its predecessor. There are still a healthy number of red herrings and fakeouts, but setting the film in a less exotic location and eschewing any body-double shenanigans keeps the action focused. It also doesn’t hurt that O’Connor, Close, and Brolin are all bringing their “A” game. Brolin especially is enjoying a one-two combo of scumbag roles (he’s Dan Killian in last weeks’ The Running Man).

Johnson also doesn’t shy away from social commentary, though he’s less overt about it than Jacob Thrombey’s incel subreddit or Birdie Jay’s racist Tweets. Cy and Andrew Scott’s fading author Lee Ross are both hoping to ride Monsignor Wicks’ coattails to social media fame, with the former presented as an opportunist in the vein of George Santos and the latter a possible stand-in for Dilbert creator Scott Adams.

Case in point: after sharing his litany of failed issues he tried to use to jumpstart his political career, Cy unironically remarks, “People are just numb these days. I don’t know why.”

Yep, he’s dead all right. Credit: Netflix

And then there’s Craig. The vaunted Benoit Blanc is still apparently the World’s Greatest Detective (sorry, Batman), but in Wake Up Dead Man, he’s fallible as well. Craig clearly enjoys the hell out of this character, and Johnson here gives him some refreshing moral ambiguity. Not everything needs to be shared with the police, after all. And if withholding ill-gotten gains makes life difficult for someone, what’s one more disgruntled asshole in the world?

Wake Up Dead Man also marks the first time Johnson addresses questions of faith (not counting Princess Leia’s “She Is Risen” moment in The Last Jedi). The Roman Catholic Church still holds some hope and mystery for young Father Jed, while for most of the “hardened cyst of regulars” at Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude, it’s a cudgel. Monsignor Wicks wearily refers to himself as a “warrior for Christ,” taking up spiritual arms against the forces of modernity (and, one assumes, progressivism) assailing it.

Due respect to the Monsignor, but the Church really has no one to blame for its massive list of enemies but itself.

One the other end of the divide is Blanc himself, who emphatically rejects the dogma … until he doesn’t. And as is the case with all these movies, you find yourself wondering if Blanc’s florid statements aren’t in service of the deeper plot.

Is it too early to say that Johnson is Shyamalan-ing himself? I don’t think the comparison really fits, since there’s a difference between mere formula and the inevitability of one big twist. Wake Up Dead Man still suffers from the familiarity of the Knives Out blueprint, but is more thoughtful than its predecessors. All the same, it’s probably just as well we’re finally laying Benoit Blanc to rest. Figuratively speaking.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is in theaters Wednesday.

This article appears in Jan 1 – Dec 31, 2025.

Glenn Close on Playing a Scary Church Lady in ‘Wake Up Dead Man,’ Those ‘All’s Fair’ Reviews and Acting With Kim Kardashian: ‘She Always Was Prepared’

Glenn Close is all too aware of how a certain strain of religious fundamentalism can turn toxic. When Close was 7 years old, her parents joined the Moral Re-Armament, a spiritual movement led by an American minister named Frank Buchman that she likens to a cult.

“When I was little, we’d be ushered into this little man named Uncle Frank’s room, and you thought you were meeting God,” Close says. “I don’t think people join cults like that if they’re happy or if they’re whole people. Something’s missing in their lives.”

Close drew on that experience to play Martha Delacroix, the right-hand woman to a fiery preacher, Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin), in “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.” In the film, Martha wields her devotion like a cudgel, making sure that Wicks’ congregation stays in line.

“I empathize with the side of Martha that’s been trying to be a good little soldier since she was just a young girl,” Close says. “She’s missed out on so much in life by taking care of Wicks.”

As Martha, Close wears all-black outfits and a rigid scowl. But filming “Wake Up Dead Man” was a joyful experience, one that saw her bonding with Daniel Craig and the rest of the A-list ensemble on the London set. Instead of retreating to their trailers between scenes, the cast kicked back in one big tent.

“There’d be a table of tea, coffee and some weird English candy,” Close says. “Jeremy Renner had a special chair because he was recovering from his [snowplow] accident. Andrew Scott, who was doing another movie at the time and was tired, would nap. And I would play backgammon with Mila Kunis or Josh O’Connor. There was lots of laughing.”

At 78, Close is busier than ever. She’s on Zoom from Germany, where she’s filming “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.”

“It’s huge,” she teases. “There’s all these extras and helicopters and chariots and horses.”

And she recently joined the Ryan Murphy-verse, playing a wily divorce attorney in the campy Hulu drama “All’s Fair.” “I was intimidated,” she admits. “I’d never been in a Ryan movie or show. … I didn’t understand the tone for a while. I found it hard.”

It was also her first time sharing the screen with Kim Kardashian, and Close came away impressed by the reality TV icon. They hung out during filming, with Kris Jenner organizing a boozy viewing party for the cast so Kardashian could finally see Close boil that bunny in “Fatal Attraction.”

“What surprised me was Kim’s seriousness of intent,” Close says. “She always knew her lines. She never was late. She always was prepared. She had no pretensions that she was a great actress, but she was smart enough to have people around her who she could learn from. If she was a big ego or what I call a ‘life-is-too-short person,’ I would have been unhappy, but she’s not.”

Critics, however, were merciless, savaging the show as loud, ludicrous and dull. Close believes reviewers failed to assess the series in its entirety.

“I personally think that the first three episodes were the weakest,” she says. “That was a tough way to start. I’ve seen all nine episodes, and I think it actually adds up to something.”

It may not have helped that many people have strong opinions about the first family of Calabasas. “The Kardashians would say this themselves, but not everybody likes them,” Close says. “They have an image.”

Sally Kirkland, stage and screen star who earned an Oscar nomination in ‘Anna,’ dies at age 84

NEW YORK (AP) — Sally Kirkland, a one-time model who became a regular on stage, film and TV, best known for sharing the screen with Paul Newman and Robert Redford in “The Sting” and her Oscar-nominated title role in the 1987 movie “Anna,” has died. She was 84.

Her representative, Michael Greene, said Kirkland died Tuesday morning at a hospice in Palm Springs, California.

Friends established a GoFundMe account this fall for her medical care. They said she had fractured four bones in her neck, right wrist and left hip. While recovering, she also developed infections, requiring hospitalization and rehab.

“She was funny, feisty, vulnerable and self deprecating,” actor Jennifer Tilly, who co-starred with Kirkland in “Sallywood,” wrote on X. “She never wanted anyone to say she was gone. ‘Don’t say Sally died, say Sally passed on into the spirits.’ Safe passage beautiful lady.”

Kirkland acted in such films as “The Way We Were” with Barbra Streisand, “Revenge” with Kevin Costner, “Cold Feet” with Keith Carradine and Tom Waits, Ron Howard’s “EDtv,” Oliver Stone’s “JFK,” “Heatwave” with Cicely Tyson, “High Stakes” with Kathy Bates, “Bruce Almighty” with Jim Carrey and the 1991 TV movie “The Haunted,” about a family dealing with paranormal activity. She had a cameo in Mel Brooks’ “Blazing Saddles.”

Her biggest role was in 1987’s “Anna” as a fading Czech movie star remaking her life in the United States and mentoring to a younger actor, Paulina Porizkova. Kirkland won a Golden Globe and earned an Oscar nomination along with Cher in “Moonstruck,” Glenn Close in “Fatal Attraction, Holly Hunter in “Broadcast News” and Meryl Streep in “Ironweed.”

“Kirkland is one of those performers whose talent has been an open secret to her fellow actors but something of a mystery to the general public,” The Los Angeles Times critic wrote in her review. “There should be no confusion about her identity after this blazing comet of a performance.”

Kirkland’s small-screen acting credits include stints on “Criminal Minds,” “Roseanne,” “Head Case” and she was a series regular on the TV shows “Valley of the Dolls” and “Charlie’s Angels.”

Born in New York City, Kirkland’s mother was a fashion editor at Vogue and Life magazine who encouraged her daughter to start modeling at age 5. Kirkland graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and studied with Philip Burton, Richard Burton’s mentor, and Lee Strasberg, the master of the Method school of acting. An early breakout was appearing in Andy Warhol’s “13 Most Beautiful Women” in 1964. She appeared naked as a kidnapped rape victim in Terrence McNally’s off-Broadway “Sweet Eros.”

Some of her early roles were Shakespeare, including the lovesick Helena in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” for New York Shakespeare Festival producer Joseph Papp and Miranda in an off-Broadway production of “The Tempest.”

“I don’t think any actor can really call him or herself an actor unless he or she puts in time with Shakespeare,” she told the Los Angeles Times in 1991. “It shows up, it always shows up in the work, at some point, whether it’s just not being able to have breath control, or not being able to appreciate language as poetry and music, or not having the power that Shakespeare automatically instills you with when you take on one of his characters.”

Kirkland was a member of several New Age groups, taught Insight Transformational Seminars and was a longtime member of the affiliated Church of the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, whose followers believe in soul transcendence.

She reached a career nadir while riding nude on a pig in the 1969 film “Futz,” which a Guardian reviewer dubbed the worst film he had ever seen. “It was about a man who fell in love with a pig, and even by the dismal standards of the era, it was dismal,” he wrote.

Kirkland was also known for disrobing for so many other roles and social causes that Time magazine dubbed her “the latter-day Isadora Duncan of nudothespianism.”

Kirkland volunteered for people with AIDS, cancer and heart disease, fed homeless people via the American Red Cross, participated in telethons for hospices and was an advocate for prisoners, especially young people.

The actors union SAG-AFTRA called her “a fearless performer whose artistry and advocacy spanned more than six decades,” adding that as “a true mentor and champion for actors, her generosity and spirit will continue to inspire.”

What to Stream: ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps,’ Tracy Morgan, Kim Kardashian and ‘Downton Abbey’

The earnest superhero team-up tale “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” and Tracy Morgan returning to TV with a new comedy called “Crutch” are some of the new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you.

Also among the streaming offerings worth your time this week, as selected by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists: The upstairs-downstairs drama “Downton Abbey” bids farewell in a final movie, Kim Kardashian plays a divorce attorney in Hulu’s “All’s Fair” and Willie Nelson continues to demonstrate his prolific output with the release of yet another new album this year.

New movies to stream from Nov. 3-9

— Guillermo del Toro realizes his long-held dream of a sumptuous Mary Shelley adaptation in “Frankenstein” (Friday Nov. 7 on Netflix). Del Toro’s film, starring Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as his monster, uses all the trappings of handmade movie craft to give Shelley’s classic an epic sweep. In her review, AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr wrote: “Everything about ‘Frankenstein’ is larger than life, from the runtime to the emotions on display.”

— Matt Shakman’s endearingly earnest superhero team-up tale “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” (Wednesday on Disney+) helps alleviate a checkered-at-best history of big-screen adaptations of the classic Stan Lee-Jack Kirby comic. Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn play Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, the Thing and the Human Torch, respectively. In 1964, they work to defend Earth from its imminent destruction by Galactus. In my review, I praised “First Steps” as “a spiffy ’60s-era romp, bathed in retrofuturism and bygone American optimism.”

— “Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale” (Friday, Nov. 7 on Peacock) bids goodbye to the Crawleys 15 years after Julian Fellowes first debuted his upstairs-downstairs drama. The cast of the third and final film, directed by Simon Curtis, includes Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery and Paul Giamatti. In her review, AP’s Jocelyn Noveck wrote that the film gives “loyal Downton fans what they want: a satisfying bit of closure and the sense that the future, though a bit scary, may look kindly on Downton Abbey.” Peacock is also streaming the two previous movies and all six seasons of “Downton Abbey.”

— “The Materialists” (Friday, Nov. 7 on HBO Max), Celine Song’s follow-up to her Oscar-nominated 2023 breakthrough “Past Lives,” stars Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans in a romantic triangle. The New York-set film adds a dose of economic reality to a romantic comedy plot in what was, for A24, a modest summer hit. In her review, AP’s Jocelyn Noveck called it “a smart rom-com that tries to be honest about life and still leaves us smiling.”

— AP Film Writer Jake Coyle

New music to stream from Nov. 3-9

— The legendary Willie Nelson continues to demonstrate his prolific output with the release of yet another new album this year. “Workin’ Man: Willie Sings Merle,” out Friday, Nov. 7, is exactly what it sounds like: Nelson offering new interpretations of 11 classic songs written by Merle Haggard. And we mean classics: Check out Nelson’s latest take on “Okie From Muskogee,” “Mama Tried,” “I Think I’ll Just Stay Here And Drink” and more.

— Where’s the future of the global music industry? All over, surely, but it would be more than just a little wise to look to Brazil. Not too dissimilar to how Anitta brought her country’s funk genre to an international mainstream through diverse collaborations and genre meddling, so too is Ludmilla. On Thursday, she will release a new album, “Fragmentos,” fresh off the heels of her sultry, bilingual collaboration with Grammy winner Victoria Monét, “Cam Girl.” It’s a combination of R&B, funk and then some.

— AP Music Writer Maria Sherman

New series to stream from Nov. 3-9

— Tracy Morgan returns to TV with a new comedy called “Crutch.” Morgan plays a widowed empty-nester whose world is turned around when his adult children move home with his grandkids in tow. The Paramount+ series debuts Monday.

— Kim Kardashian says she will soon learn whether she passed the bar exam to become a lawyer, but she plays a sought-after divorce attorney in “All’s Fair,” her new TV series for Hulu. Kardashian stars alongside Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash-Betts, Naomi Watts and Teyana Taylor in the show about an all-female law firm. Ryan Murphy created the show with Kardashian in mind after she acted in “American Horror Story: Delicate.” It premieres Tuesday on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.

— The old saying about truth being stranger than fiction applies to Netflix’s new four-episode limited-series “Death by Lightning.” It’s a historical dramatization (with some comedy thrown in) about how James Garfield became the 20th president of the United States. He was shot four months later by a man named Charles Guiteau (Matthew Macfadyen), who was desperate for Garfield’s attention. Two months after that, Garfield died from complications of his injuries. It’s a wild story that also features Betty Gilpin, Nick Offerman, Bradley Whitford and Shea Whigham. The series premieres Thursday.

— HBO offers up a new docuseries about the life of retired baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez. “Alex Vs. A-Rod” features intimate interviews with people who are related to and know Rodriguez, as well as the man himself. The three-part series premieres Thursday.

— The next installment of “Wicked,” called “Wicked: For Good,” flies into theaters Nov. 21 and NBC has created a musical special to pump up the release. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande lead “Wicked: One Wonderful Night,” a concert event that premieres Thursday on NBC and streams on Peacock Friday, Nov. 7. Additional film cast members like Michelle Yeoh, Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode and Ethan Slater appear as well.

— Alicia Rancilio

New video games to play from Nov. 3-9

— It’s going to be a while until the next Legend of Zelda game, but if you’re craving some time with the princess, check out Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. In this spinoff, a prequel to 2023’s Tears of the Kingdom, Zelda travels back in time to join forces with the Six Sages in a war against the invader Ganondorf. You can also drag another human into battle with split-screen or the GameShare feature on Nintendo’s new console. Like the previous collaborations between Nintendo and Koei Tecmo, it’s more hack-and-slash action than exploration and discovery. It arrives Thursday on Switch 2.

Ryan Murphy Toasts Kim Kardashian and the “Lady Avengers” of All’s Fair

It’s one of the most eagerly awaited series of the year, with a trailer that boasts 44 million views. All’s Fair and its high-flying female cast will soon be arriving on Disney+. To celebrate, lead actors Kim Kardashian, Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson, and Niecy Nash have embarked on a promotional marathon that began in Los Angeles and recently came to Paris, for a screening at La Maison de la Chimie on Kardashian’s 45th birthday. On the pink carpet, a veritable parade of fashion and icons unfolded in front of an audience of journalists, photographers, and a lucky few fans.

Between a photocall and an interview, the show’s six stars gathered on a lobby staircase for an exclusive photo session with Vanity Fair France. Paulson, dressed in a white Schiaparelli ensemble, was the first to lend herself to a few light tests, followed by Nash, Taylor, Close, and Watts. Last to arrive on the pink carpet was Kardashian, sculptural in a vintage Dior piece by John Galliano, accompanied by her mother, Kris Jenner. The shoot ended with applause and a round of “Happy Birthday” initiated by Nash.

After presenting Monster: The Ed Gein Story earlier this fall, the hyperproductive Ryan Murphy is also behind this new series for Disney+, in collaboration with Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken. The show follows the day-to-day doings in a divorce law firm run by Allura Grant (Kardashian), Liberty Ronson (Watts), and Emerald Greene (Nash). In the manner of a procedural drama, each episode shifts focus between new business and long-running intrigue set against a backdrop of rivalries and betrayals. “In a world where money is king and love is a battlefield, [they] will change the game,” reads the synopsis.

Led by Kardashian, the cast of All’s Fair is made up of many of Murphy’s regular collaborators. They include Paulson, seen in several seasons of American Horror Story and in American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson; Watts, seen in season two of Feud; and Nash, who won an Emmy Award for her role in Dahmer. Long-time icon Close and Taylor, a breakout in the recent film One Battle After Another, are the only newcomers to this universe. In addition to the main cast, the series will feature choice guest stars like Brooke Shields, Judith Light, Elizabeth Berkley, and Jessica Simpson.

Daniel Craig Returns to Solve “Impossible Crime” in ‘Wake Up Dead Man’ Trailer

Daniel Craig is heading to church for guidance in the teaser trailer for Netflix‘s Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.

Writer-director Rian Johnson‘s third feature in the Knives Out franchise is set for release in select theaters Nov. 26 before its streaming debut Dec. 12. Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack and Thomas Haden Church round out the film’s ensemble cast.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery centers on detective Benoit Blanc (Craig) attempting to figure out his most dangerous case yet. The first trailer (below) teases the mysterious death of a charming priest.

“To understand this case, you need to look at the myth that’s being constructed,” Craig says in the footage. “A man gives a sermon. He then, in plain sight of everyone, walks into a sealed concrete box. Thirty seconds later, that man is lying dead. A classic, impossible crime.”

Johnson helmed the movie from his own script. The filmmaker produced the project alongside Ram Bergman.

Here’s the logline: “Benoit Blanc (Craig) returns for his most dangerous case yet in the third and darkest chapter of Rian Johnson’s murder mystery opus. When young priest Jud Duplenticy (O’Connor) is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin), it’s clear that all is not well in the pews. Wicks’ modest-but-devoted flock includes devout church lady Martha Delacroix (Close), circumspect groundskeeper Samson Holt (Church), tightly-wound lawyer Vera Draven, Esq. (Washington), aspiring politician Cy Draven (McCormack), town doctor Nat Sharp (Renner), best-selling author Lee Ross (Scott) and concert cellist Simone Vivane (Spaeny). After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, the lack of an obvious suspect prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis) to join forces with renowned detective Benoit Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic.”

The franchise kicked off with the original Knives Out, which Lionsgate released theatrically in 2019. Not quite two years later, Netflix bought the exclusive rights to a pair of sequels, with the first follow-up — Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery — launching in late 2022.

In his review of Wake Up Dead Man for The Hollywood Reporter, chief film critic David Rooney praised the film’s “considerable plus of Josh O’Connor as a former boxer turned priest who becomes both a murder suspect and a Watson to Benoit Blanc’s Sherlock Holmes.”

What to stream: ‘Warriors’ album, ‘The Dating Game’ killer, ‘NCIS: Origins’ and Travis Kelce’s games

Travis Kelce adds game show host to his growing resume with “Are You Smarter than a Celebrity?” and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Warriors,” a musical concept album inspired by the 1979 cult classic film, are some of the new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you.

Also among the streaming offerings worth your time as selected by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists: Anna Kendrick stars in a movie about the time a serial killer made his way onto the television show “The Dating Game,” Nintendo fans get Super Mario Party Jamboree and “NCIS” looks back at character Leroy Jethro Gibbs in “NCIS: Origins,” a series set 25 years before the original.

NEW MOVIES TO STREAM OCT. 14-20

— In 1978, a serial killer made his way onto the television show “The Dating Game.” Rodney Alcala was already a murderer by the time he appeared on the show as one of three bachelors seeking a date with a woman named Cheryl Bradshaw. He even won. Had they done a background check, they might have discovered that he’d been on the FBI’s 10 most wanted fugitives list and already been imprisoned for violent crimes against an 8-year-old. In the new Netflix film “Woman of the Hour,” streaming on Friday, Oct. 18, Anna Kendrick (also making her directorial debut) stars as the woman on the show (spelled Sheryl here) and puts the attention back on the victims. “Woman of the Hour” received good reviews out of the Toronto Film Festival last year.

— If fake serial killers are more your style, “MaXXXine” starts streaming on MAX on Friday, Oct. 18. The third film in Ti West and Mia Goth’s unlikely trilogy (following “X” and “Pearl”) takes the audience to the sleazy underground of 1980s Hollywood. Goth’s Maxine Minx is an adult film star hoping for a big break in mainstream movies. She gets a shot from Elizabeth Debicki’s refined director. But she’s also running from her past and a killer terrorizing the town. It’s very stylized and a little silly and underdeveloped but it’s a fun watch with a fun, extended Lily Collins cameo.

— And for those looking for a comedy, Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage play brothers, and former partners in crime in a starry new movie coming to Prime Video on Thursday. Brolin is the one trying for a more normal life when Dinklage convinces him to embark on a road trip to a promised big score. “Brothers,” directed by Max Barbakow (who made the delightful time loop romantic comedy “Palm Springs”) also features Marisa Tomei, Glenn Close, Brendan Fraser and Taylour Paige in its big ensemble.

NEW MUSIC TO STREAM OCT. 14-20

— On Friday, Oct. 18, Lin-Manuel Miranda — in his first full post-“Hamilton” musical — and the award-winning actor and playwright Eisa Davis will release “Warriors,” a musical concept album inspired by the 1979 cult classic film that follows a street gang as they make their way from the Bronx to their home turf of Coney Island amid an all-out blitz. There are some notable departures here, including some gender-flipping and inventive genre-melding, no doubt an extension of its all-star cast, which features everyone from Ms. Lauryn Hill and Marc Anthony to Colman Domingo, Busta Rhymes and more. Last month, the duo told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview that their version of “Warriors” is about unity and peace. But it sounds full of action.

NEW SHOWS TO STREAM OCT. 14-20

— Austin Stowell plays a younger version of Mark Harmon’s “NCIS” character, Leroy Jethro Gibbs in “NCIS: Origins,” a series set 25 years before the original. We meet this Gibbs as he’s beginning his career as a naval investigator. “NCIS: Origins” debuts Monday on CBS and streams on Paramount+.

— A new Peacock docuseries digs into the wild but true story of Elizabeth Finch, a former writer on ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy.” Finch wrote storylines she claimed were inspired by her own life and medical history, including a battle with bone cancer. She later admitted to lying. The three-part docuseries also tells the story of Finch’s ex-wife, who was the one to expose her deceit in the first place. “Anatomy of Lies” streams Tuesday on Peacock.

— Travis Kelce adds game show host to his growing resume. The Kansas City Chiefs tight-end hosts “Are You Smarter than a Celebrity?” beginning Wednesday on Prime Video. On the show, adult contestants answer elementary grade questions with a pool of celebrities on standby ready to help.

— In the Apple TV+’s dramedy “Shrinking,” Jason Segel plays Jimmy, a therapist grieving the death of his wife and trying to navigate being a single parent to a teen daughter. In season one, he begins to give his patients unorthodox advice, like inviting one (Luke Tennie) to move into his home. We also saw a new kind of family blossom between Jimmy, his colleagues (Harrison Ford and Jessica Williams), and neighbor (Christa Miller). Season two of the heartwarming comedy premieres Wednesday on the streamer.

— In season three of Netflix’s “The Lincoln Lawyer,” Mickey Haller is rocked by the murder of his former client Gloria Days (Fiona Rene), but he also agrees to defend the man accused of killing her. The story is based on No. 5 of Michael Connelly’s The Lincoln Lawyer book series called “The Gods of Guilt.” It premieres Thursday on Netflix.

— The “Sheldon-verse” continues with “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage” debuting Thursday on CBS. The series stars Montana Jordan as Sheldon’s older brother George “Georgie” Cooper and his new bride Mandy, played by Emily Osment. It’s a sequel to “Young Sheldon” which wrapped last May after seven seasons. Episodes also stream on Paramount+.

— “Hysteria!”, coming to Peacock on Friday, Oct. 18, follows members of a high school band who pretend to be in a Satanic cult for attention. Their plan falls apart when town members target the teens in a witch hunt. The series stars Julie Bowen of “Modern Family” and “Evil Dead” star Bruce Campbell.

— Alicia Rancilio

NEW VIDEO GAMES TO PLAY

— Holiday season is almost here, and for Nintendo fans, there’s no party like a Mario Party. Super Mario Party Jamboree follows the classic formula: It’s a virtual board game in which most of the spaces lead to a multiplayer contest. Up to four people can play in-person or online, though one online mode lets up to 20 compete in a hectic “Koopathlon.” There are 22 characters, seven different boards and more than 110 minigames covering the gamut of Mario Party silliness, from races to brawls to minigolf. And there are few cooperative challenges, like a cooking game where four chefs try to slice and dice in rhythm. The festivities start Thursday on Switch.

— Barcelona-based Nomada Studio gained plenty of fans and a handful of awards with 2018’s stylish Gris, a haunting tale in which a young girl worked through grief by solving puzzles and collecting stars. The indie developer’s Neva starts in a similarly gloomy place: A warrior named Alba sets out with a white wolf, Neva, to explore a dying world. Nomada calls it “a love song dedicated to our children, our parents and our planet,” and the arresting, painterly landscapes will look familiar to fans of Gris. The journey begins Tuesday on PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, Switch and PC.

Fatal Attraction: A Tragic Easter Movie for Rabbits

It’s said that Fatal Attraction is a cautionary tale about having an affair, but what few people fail to mention is how it qualifies as an Easter movie. For how can one deny that a central part of the plot is the innocent rabbit named Whitey? The sweet pet belonging to the Gallagher family, but more than anyone Ellen (Ellen Hamilton Latzen), Dan’s (Michael Douglas) naïve six-year-old daughter who turns out to be collateral damage in Alex Forrest’s (Glenn Close) game of “psychotic seduction” in that she must suffer the fallout of Alex’s rage directed at her father. De facto the rabbit (and yes, a real [dead] one was actually used for the infamous scene in question). And even though Whitey doesn’t make her official entrance into the Gallagher household until around the one hour and twenty-minute mark of the movie, well over halfway into it, she is arguably the biggest icon of the film.

Like dogs in any movie or TV show of a “thriller-y” nature, the rabbit is probably the second-most assured animal to be harmed or killed in some way (see also: the second episode of Yellowjackets). Something about their purity just seems to set people off on a murderous rampage. To boot, the Gallaghers also happen to have a dog named Quincy, a yellow Labrador retriever who isn’t much for paying attention to potential intruders like Alex. Nonetheless, the dog appears to be spared thanks to the addition of the rabbit to their “brood” in the third act. Indeed, Dan buys the rabbit after initially resisting the notion of getting one for Ellen, but then decides to buy one likely due to the sustained guilt of stepping out on his wife, Beth (Anne Archer). Attempting to pay for his sins by going so far down the, um, rabbit hole with Alex. A woman who remains undeterred by the fact that Dan has moved to Bedford in terms of her stalking capabilities, which she’s only too happy to engage in the night that Dan brings home the rabbit in a generically oppressive black cage.

In a certain regard, that rabbit in its cage is representative of Dan, suddenly all willing to commit completely to being domesticated after he’s been subjected to the wilds of what’s “out there,” i.e. “crazy bitches” such as Alex that make Beth look like a wholesome, obsequious wet dream. After all, Fatal Attraction also seeks to reiterate the Madonna/whore tropes that women are “required” to be lumped into. In pop culture, the tropes have often mutated into various opposing “character types” on the spectrum, from Marilyn and Jackie to Samantha and Charlotte, all symbolizing the same classic “syndrome.” One in which men can only see a woman as his noble, virtuous wife or tartish mistress material in the vein of Alex.

But Alex is not so cavalier about having an affair as Dan would initially like to believe. She’s a “good woman,” she wants him to know, as she also seethes on a tape recording she sends to him, “You thought you could just walk into my life and turn it upside down without a thought for anyone but yourself.” Wanting Dan to suffer the consequences for his actions is the main crux for why she desires to have his “adultery baby,” though she insists it’s because, “I’m thirty-six years old, it may be my last chance to have a child” (oh how things have come a long way for women since that was evidently deemed the “cut-off age” for child-bearing).

Alex eventually chooses to boil the family rabbit—an ultimate symbol of fertility—that she sees the Gallaghers fawning over from afar. This being a metaphorical indication of how she’s given up not only on Dan, but herself. Or rather, the idea of herself as “fit for motherhood”/being the matriarch of a conventional nuclear family. Not if she’s going to have to do it alone, without the one she supposedly “loves.” For this movie is, lest one forget, a transparent riff on Madame Butterfly (which Alex and Dan both discuss their love of early on in the narrative)—embedded in the screenplay’s text long before Mike White decided to create the character of Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge) in The White Lotus. However, it seems even Cio-Cio-San wouldn’t go so far as to hurt an innocent creature like Whitey, who is shown being discovered by Beth in the boiling pot in her kitchen just as Ellen is running to an outdoor wooden cage to check on Whitey, only to find the bunny is missing. Thus, at the exact same moment, mother and daughter let out a shriek of terror, the former because of what she sees before her and the latter because of what she doesn’t.

But the rabbit ultimately serves as the key catalyst for getting Dan to confess to his affair. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to tell his wife the true culprit behind Whitey’s watery assassination. Thus, with this being Beth’s first glimpse of what Alex is capable of, she’s not all that shocked to find Alex standing behind her in the bathroom in the final scenes of the movie. Brandishing a knife, naturally. Being that the original ending of Fatal Attraction revealed that Alex had killed herself and made Dan look like the murderer, seeing her casually stab at her own thigh while she talks to Beth and accuses her of keeping Dan away from her isn’t that out of depth. Nor is the moment when Alex “reanimates” after Dan is given no choice but to drown her in the bathtub to stave her off from stabbing him and his wife.

Lying there in the tub the same way the rabbit did in the pot, the karmic justice is complete when Alex, too, is rendered as bloody as Whitey after Beth finishes the job with a gun. This leaving Alex to stew in the hot red water just as Whitey was left to do. Despite the poetic “full-circle” scene, Fatal Attraction remains a movie that Easter bunnies and normal bunnies alike are cautioned against watching.

Glenn Close will not present at the Oscars after testing positive for COVID-19

Glenn Close will not present at the 95th Academy Awards after testing positive for COVID-19, CBS News has confirmed.

The veteran performer, 75, was scheduled to join a packed roster of celebrities who will announce the prizes at Sunday night’s ceremony. Among the personalities set to present awards at the Oscars are Riz Ahmed, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Michael B. Jordan, Troy Kotsur, Melissa McCarthy, Janelle Monáe and more. Harrison Ford, who acted opposite Close in the 1997 action thriller “Air Force One,” which itself earned Academy Award nominations for sound and film editing, is also presenting at the show.

Close’s publicist, Catherine Olim, confirmed that the actor contracted COVID-19 and would no longer be able to attend Sunday’s Oscars ceremony.

“She was very much looking forward to taking part in the show,” Olim said in a statement. The publicist did not share details about the extent of Close’s symptoms. The Academy has not commented on the news of her illness, nor has the voting body provided information about who will replace her on stage Sunday evening.

Close was reportedly meant to announce the winner of this year’s Oscar for best picture, according to Deadline. The 2023 nominees in the category are: “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,” “Elvis,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “The Fabelmans,” “Tár,” “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Triangle of Sadness” and “Women Talking.”

An eight-time Academy Award nominee, Close has earned critical acclaim over the course of her decades-long career in film, television and on Broadway. In addition to garnering Oscar nods for her roles in movies such as “The Big Chill,” “Fatal Attraction” and, most recently, “Hillbilly Elegy,” Close has won multiple Emmys, Tonys and Screen Actors Guild Awards.

In 2019 she was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by TIME magazine.

Glenn Close Bows Out of Oscars Due to COVID

The producers of the 95th Annual Academy Awards were reminded of that old adage on Sunday: Man Plans, God Laughs. Glenn Close will now no longer present an award at the Dolby Theater, as she has tested positive for COVID, according to a report by the Associated Press.

A representative for the eight-time Oscar-nominee said that she is isolating and resting. It has not been reported who, if anyone, will replace her.

Sadly, Close’s appearance was meant to be a fun reunion between her and Harrison Ford, co-stars of the 1997 action picture Air Force One. (You can read more about that in V.F.’s report of the Oscars rehearsal.)

Two years ago, Close achieved an unusual moment of virality during the heavily COVID-restricted telecast in which she stood up and did “Da Butt.” As was later revealed, the moment between her and Lil Rel Howery was planned, but only to a degree. She knew in advance she’d be quizzed about classic hip-hop jams, but the decision to get up and dance was spontaneous.

The actress must surely have mixed feelings about the Oscars in general. (Her name having “no cigar” connotations can’t help much.) Her first Best Supporting Actress nomination came for the 1982 comedy-drama The World According to Garp. She was nominated for the same category each subsequent year, for The Big Chill and The Natural. Her first Best Actress nomination came for 1987’s Fatal Attraction, followed by Dangerous Liasons the next year. The 2011 film Albert Nobbs and 2017’s The Wife were the final Best Actress noms, and most recently was a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Hillbilly Elegy.

Last year, Lin-Manuel Miranda similarly bowed out of the Oscars telecast at the last minute when his wife tested positive for COVID. He was up for the Best Original Song category for “Dos Oruguitas” from the film Encanto. He did not win, which, in a way was lucky. When he does win an Oscar—and he will, eventually—he will achieve EGOT status. And we’d like him to be there for that, not in a hotel watching on television.

12 Great Actors Who’ve Never Won An Oscar

Every year, the Academy Awards come along to grace a handful of nominated actors with a golden statue. But let’s face it. Hollywood is teeming with talent, and just because you’ve risen to A-lister status doesn’t mean you’re automatically guaranteed an Oscar. In fact, over the years, there have been plenty of seasoned actors who have experienced tremendous success in the movie and television industry — but they’ve never won an Academy Award. While it may be hard to believe based on their impressive careers, these celebrities have never gone home with that coveted award.

Why is that, exactly? Well, it’s pretty obvious that there are several different factors that go into selecting a winner for Best Actor or Best Actress. Like pretty much every other art form, reception to a performance is subjective. What might be one person’s idea of “best” is another person’s “very good.” And, even if everyone’s performances were all considered equal in terms of quality, there still has to be one winner.

Some actors — such as Leonardo DiCaprio, for instance — spend years delivering memorable performance after memorable performance, only to be passed over continuously by the Academy. DiCaprio finally broke this cycle with his ambitious performance as frontiersman Hugh Glass in the 2015 film The Revenant, which won him the Oscar for Best Actor. While some famous actors go their whole careers without ever achieving that milestone, it doesn’t mean they aren’t deserving. Sometimes, the timing just isn’t right. Here are 12 actors who have surprisingly never won an Oscar.

12 Actors Who Have Surprisingly Never Won An Oscar
