Jessica Palud’s showbiz drama “Being Maria” reframes the short career and tragic life of “Last Tango in Paris” star Maria Schneider in a post-#MeToo light. “Happening” breakout Anamaria Vartolomei plays Schneider, while Matt Dillon takes on the role of her co-star Marlon Brando. Orange Studio is handling international sales.
Currently in post-production and aiming for a festival premiere later this year, the film in part tracks the controversial production and wrenching fallout of Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1972 masterpiece — a landmark that made Schneider an icon while locking her into a sexualized image she never could escape. Palud’s sophomore feature also marks a fitting echo for the Gallic auteur, who kicked off her professional life on the set of Bertolucci’s “The Dreamers.”
Stepping into Brando’s shoes gave Dillon a unique task, not least because the French-language film required the actor to work in an unfamiliar tongue. “I thought to myself,...

Jeremy Renner is back in action on the third season of Mayor of Kingstown, he shared on social media on Wednesday. The moment is proving nerve-racking for the action star a year after a snowplow accident that nearly claimed his life.
From Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, the original series is currently filming in Pittsburgh and is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Bosque Ranch Productions exclusively for Paramount+.
“Day one on set … nervous today,” he captioned a photo of himself in a suit. “Hope this works out that I can Actually pull this off for our production and more importantly the fans.”

Exclusive: The McLusky Family will be down another member next season, I hear. According to sources, Dianne Wiest will not be returning to Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount+ drama series for its upcoming third season.
There has been chatter about Wiest’s potential departure for months; rumors intensified this week as scripts for season 3 — written before the writers strike and on hold for the duration — are now being finalized with the strike ending. Her exit is said to be story-driven.
Teased by series star/executive producer Jeremy Renner in late May, Mayor of Kingstown was officially renewed for a third season earlier this month. A rep for MTV Entertainment Studios, which produces the series, declined comment.
Created by Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, Mayor Of Kingstown follows the McLusky clan, who are power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan, where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry.
