Update 21/05/24: As confirmed on the latest edition of Richard Osman and Marina Hyde’s The Rest is Entertainment podcast, the latest cast member to be confirmed is Celia Imrie in the role of Joyce Meadowcroft. Joyce would love that, we feel.
As previously reported by Variety in April 2024, Dame Helen Mirren, Sir Ben Kingsley and Pierce Brosnan are also attached to The Thursday Murder Club film adaptation, which is being directed by Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone director Chris Columbus. Mirren will of course play former spy Elizabeth, Kingsley will play psychiatrist Ibrahim, and in something of a casting curveball, Pierce Brosnan will play former union organiser Ron. That just leaves police officers Donna and Chris, and handyman/fixer Bogdan as main characters still to be announced.

Sony Pictures Classics’ Wicked Little Letters grossed an estimated $1.5+ million in a big second week expansion for the R-rated British period comedy to 1,000 screens from five. The Thea Sharrock-directed film starring Olivia Colman (also a producer) and Jessie Buckley, no. 8 at the domestic weekend box office, has a $1.6+ million cume.
Colman and Buckley have been out actively promoting the film, based on an actual scandal, about a police investigation into the anonymous author of crude letters sent to the residents of a British seaside town.
The number is on the high end of SPC’s expectations, and the Sunday estimate may be conservative.
Audiences for Wicked Little Letters are 60% female, 40% male, with a range of women age 30-plus, unusual for a period film as they skew older. It’s playing especially well in major cities and college towns but also popping in smaller markets like Seattle. Word of mouths is terrific,...

Documentary following a group of women dancers over 60 is well made but leaves you wondering if there’s more to know about these spirited performers
Maria Loohufvud and Love Martinsen, a married couple as well as artistic collaborators, make their feature debut as directors with this affectionate portrait of the Calendar Girls, an amateur dance troupe based in southern Florida. Entirely made up of women over the age of 60, a few considerably older, the dancers perform on flatbed trucks in parades and retirement homes, community centres and private events in order to raise funds for Southeastern Guide Dogs, an organisation that trains guide dogs for veterans and other visually impaired people. Dressed in homemade, leg-revealing spandex and sparkle-festooned outfits that variously suggest unicorns or “patriotic reindeer” at Christmas time, the women perform dance sequences set to an eclectic selection of tunes, from Harry Belafonte’s Jump in the Line and Everybody by the Backstreet Boys,...

It looks like the play’s the (stranger) thing!
London’s Phoenix Theatre is planning to turn things Upside Down when it debuts “Stranger Things: The First Shadow,” a prequel theatrical experience tied to the runaway Netflix hit. The fifth and final season of the series begins production this May, and the new play will be up “later this year.”
The author is Kate Trefry, a staff writer, story editor, and co-executive producer on the series, credited as writer on three teleplays, one from the second, third, and fourth seasons. The prequel play is based on a story from Trefry and “Stranger Things” creators Matt and Ross Duffer, as well as Jack Thorne. Thorne is the writer behind Netflix’s hit “Enola Holmes,” but, more relevant to this endeavor, he is the author of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” the two-part theatrical experience/license to print money with productions in London,...

Helen Mirren knows her way around the Berlin International Film Festival, which this year hosts the out-of-competition world premiere of her latest film, Golda, in which she stars as Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir.
The future Oscar winner visited the festival way back in 1985 when it screened the sci-fi pic 2010: The Year We Made Contact, director Peter Hyams’ sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. In her first big Hollywood production, the British actress, then 38, drew on her heritage — her father had been born in Russia — to play the Russian cosmonaut Tanya Kirbuk, who commands a ship on its way to Jupiter.
She would later admit: “The script was somewhat incomprehensible to me and the role was not the best. The story was, however, prescient in that it foretold the joint America-Russian missions into space that happened after the collapse of Communism.” Nevertheless, she gamely joined in...

Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren are set to star in Taylor Sheridan’s new “Yellowstone” prequel “1932” at Paramount+, Variety has learned.
The show follows the Dutton family in the titular year, a time of Prohibition, the Great Depression, and westward expansion. “1932” is a followup to “1883,” the latter of which told the story of the Dutton family as they made their way to Montana to found what would become the Yellowstone Ranch in the mothership series. “1932” was ordered to series at Paramount+ back in February.

"We use magic from our hearts to make the world a better place." Madman Films has just unveiled the first official (Australian) trailer for the documentary film Calendar Girls, which initially premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. The film profiles the dance troupe known as the "Calendar Girls" - Florida's most dedicated dance team for women over 60, shaking up the outdated image of "the little old lady," and calling for everyone to dance their hearts out, while they still can. Swedish co-directors Maria Loohufvud & Love Martinsen weave the dancers' personal stories with their colourful routines, shot in the bright Florida sunshine. An uplifting, joyous doc film featuring a female dance troupe with a difference: they’re 60+ and out to prove that age is just a number. Reviews at Sundance call it an "affectionate portrait" and an "engaging historical piece". This looks lovely but it also reminds me of Some Kind of Heaven.

Let’s get one thing straight: no one just casually becomes a member of the Calendar Girls, Southwestern Florida’s premier geriatric dance troupe. As founder and steam-engine leader Katherine emphasizes, the charity-based collective of women over 60 takes itself seriously, rehearsing half the year in order to perform the other half. And between the homemade unicorn headdresses, sequined leotards, and electric-blue eye makeup, some husbands just can’t handle their wives having fun.
This is the delicate balance that directors Maria Loohufvud and Love Martinsen strike in their skillful, dedicated documentary Calendar Girls. The Swedish duo celebrates their subjects with ebullient visuals one might expect from a film about a group of old ladies dancing their socks off, while gaining intimate enough access to witness the frustrations of aging. Though only going deep with select members of the group, the documentary manages to treat every Calendar Girl with the dignity...

In 1926, when her husband’s affair became public, Agatha Christie vanished for eleven days. This reimagining is told through the eyes of her husband’s mistress, Nan O’Dea.

Ruth Meehan's debut film is a feisty descendant of the likes of Calendar Girls, with its female strength-in-the-face-of-illness narrative that presents its similar themes of dealing with cancer while navigating friendship and loss, with a younger audience demographic in mind.
Gemma-Leah Devereux - who put in a small but notable performance as Liza Minelli in biopic Judy - brings complexity to the central character of Kate, a stand-up comedian who uses her life as a punchline for her gigs, gambles her depression medication with pals and has quite a lot of dark thoughts about death.
But Kate discovers wanting to die and suddenly being faced with the prospect are two very different things when an accident leads to a diagnosis of breast cancer and the looming challenge of a round of chemotherapy and surgery. With a wit so sharp she's in danger of cutting herself, Kate proves initially abrasive to the group of.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and in many ways, that would be British producer Suzanne Mackie. As an executive producer on “The Crown,” she has spent the better part of the past 10 years working on the hit Netflix series, taking on her share of controversy along the way. But you’d be hard pressed to find a cooler head: never mind Claire Foy or Olivia Colman, Mackie is the only queen who will see the whole show across its six seasons.
Mackie, who is this year’s recipient of Variety’s Achievement in Intl.

Uplifting movie tells how the Cornish singing group hit the big time – but not of the terrible blow that came after
Early in the new year, Fisherman’s Friends, the uplifting true story of the part-time Cornish sea shanty group that hit the big time, is coming to cinema screens amid hopes it may connect with audiences just as powerfully as other British feelgood hits such as The Full Monty and Calendar Girls.
Behind the wit, warmth and energy promised in the film, which stars Daniel Mays, James Purefoy and Tuppence Middleton, lie the stark facts of a tragedy that threatened to rob the real band of Cornish singers of their good spirits for ever.

For a film that is technically a French take on The Full Monty and Calendar Girls set in rural Normandy — Calvados Girls, anyone? — Normandie nue is surprisingly tame. But an even bigger surprise is the fact that the command of tone of popular writer-director Philippe Le Guay, who directed the hits Service Entrance (aka The Women on the 6th Floor) and Cycling With Moliere, is wobbly throughout, awkwardly oscillating between gritty and glossy and frequently occupying the rather vague middle ground where dire sociopolitical tract and crowd-pleasing comedy supposedly intersect. That said, a sprawling and motley cast that includes...

Today is National Best Friends Day, making it the perfect time to celebrate female friendship. Female friendships are a thing of beauty. Robust, complicated, endearing, intense, and any other adjective you can think of. Sure, a lot of movies revolve around girlfriends talking about men and the various heartaches, hardships, and passionate feelings menfolk bring, but it’s those movies that feature genuine relationships that pass the Bechdel test that we love the best. The test is simple, really: Have a movie with at least two female characters who talk to one another about something other than man. Surprisingly – or perhaps not – many mainstream films fail this simple test. For those that do pass with flying colours, they’re likely to end up on our list of the top 10 movies that deal with female friendships in its many forms.

Channel 4 Chief Executive David Abraham has announced that Daniel Battsek will join the corporation as Director of Film4, following the news that David Kosse is to step down to join Stx Entertainment.
Battsek will join Film4 in July, relocating to the UK from New York after fulfilling his contract as President of Cohen Media Group - where he has overseen the acquisition and release of projects including back-to-back Oscar® nominees "Timbuktu" and "Mustang," as well as a development and production slate of films that includes John Williams’ renowned novel Stoner, a co-production with Film4. Prior to this role Daniel was President of National Geographic Films, and before that President, Filmed Entertainment at Miramax Films.
David Kosse will continue working for Film4 during the transition period on a consultancy basis until October.
Battsek will inherit the increased spend announced by David Abraham and David Kosse in February 2016 of £25 million for the year, with the ambition of maintaining similar increased levels of Film4 funding in future years.
Under Battsek’s leadership, Film4 will continue to seek out new partnerships like those announced with Fox Searchlight and Fp Films in February, which allow the company to take a greater stake in certain projects, with a view to seeing more of the returns flowing back to Film4 for investment in the company’s future slate.
Battsek also inherits a development slate which includes new work from Lenny Abrahamson, Yorgos Lanthimos, Andrew Haigh, Steve McQueen, Martin McDonagh, Clio Barnard, Bart Layton, Garth Davis and Mike Leigh. as well as completed or near completed films from Andrea Arnold, Ben Wheatley, Ang Lee, Paddy Considine, Susanna White, John Cameron Mitchell, acclaimed theatre director Benedict Andrews, newcomer Toby Macdonald and Danny Boyle.
Channel 4 Chief Executive David Abraham commented: “Daniel Battsek’s passion for independent, filmmaker driven cinema, and experience in film production, development and distribution at the highest level in both the Us and UK markets, are second to none. He’s a perfect fit for the Film4 brand. We’re thrilled to bring this talented British executive back to the UK.
“As demonstrated by our record breaking year at both the Oscars and the BAFTAs, Daniel will inherit a Film4 business in fine creative and commercial health from David Kosse. We’re sad he couldn’t have been with us longer but he’s had an incredible impact in the time he has led the division. Both the exciting upcoming slate and the increased funding for original film we announced earlier this year are testament to the successful strategy implemented by David. I’m delighted that he will be working alongside Daniel on a smooth transition over the summer and ensuring that it is business as usual for Film4 over this period.”
Daniel Battsek added: "I am hugely honored to have been offered this opportunity. My career began with so many of Film4's early productions and I have retained strong ties with British filmmakers throughout my time in the Us. Joining Film4 feels almost like coming full circle. I look forward to returning to the UK and putting the experience I've gained on both sides of the Atlantic to good use."
David Kosse said: "Film4 is a unique organization and a very special brand and it was a difficult decision to leave, but joining Stx at this stage is an opportunity that I couldn't pass up. Over almost two years, I'm incredibly proud to have put in place a new strategy for Film4 which has boosted funding for the film industry to a record level and to have introduced an exciting new slate of high quality productions and developments with a diverse group of filmmakers. David Abraham and the Channel 4 leadership team have been fantastic partners since day one and I look forward to continuing to work with them over the coming months."

Queen Elizabeth II made her annual visit to her local Women's Institute (Wi) chapter in Sandringham on Thursday, one of many trips she has dutifully made since joining the Wi 73 years ago. But, while the Wi may be familiar to those in the United Kingdom, they aren't as well-known to Americans, outside of perhaps what they've seen in the 2003 movie Calendar Girls. First founded in Canada, the Women's Institute started in the U.K. in a garden shed in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll (yes, that Llanfairpwllgwyngyll) in Wales back in 1915. The organization's main aim was to revitalize rural communities and encourage women to...

Fancy a cup of tea with Queen Elizabeth? The members of the local Women's Institute in Norfolk are doing just that on Thursday, as the longest-reigning monarch makes her annual visit to the quaint village hall located just two miles from Anmer Hall, Prince William and Princess Kate's family home. A smattering of a dozen or so locals gathered outside the cozy hall on the cloudy, chilly afternoon (around 36 degrees) to catch a glimpse of the 89-year-old Queen. She arrived with a bright smile in a peacock-blue coat, faithfully carrying her trusty handbag. Inside, the Queen traditionally sips Yorkshire-blend tea...

Sexy septuagenarian Helen Mirren is still as gorgeous as ever, and as a hilarious 2011 "Saturday Night Live" sketch proves, her breasts are truly wonderful. But, sadly, audiences won't be able to see them on the big screen again.
In a recent CBS interview with Alan Cumming, Mirren revealed that she's officially covering up for good, and won't do any more onscreen nudity in the future. Cumming, who called Mirren's breasts "legendary," discussed the actress's previous nude roles, and the Oscar winner admitted that though she initially "never wanted" to get naked on camera, she also didn't think it was a very big deal.
"I was doing nude scenes [from] the first moment I started doing movies. ... It was the era," Mirren, who's been seen in the buff in flicks from 1979's "Caligula" to 2003's "Calendar Girls," told Cumming. " ... It seemed to be nothing to get your knickers in a twist over.

Dame Helen Mirren as always is one of the greatest women on the planet. Not just an award-winning actress, Mirren is also famous for a dry sense of humor, her candour, and a radiant vivaciousness.
Mirren recently sat down with another actor of a similar disposition - Alan Cumming - for a CBS interview in which she says that, at 70, she's now done with on screen nudity.
In fact the entire four-minute interview revolves around her breasts, or her "pleasure pillows" as she calls them, but in terms of retiring the girls from the spotlight she says:
"That's the good thing about getting older; you don't have to do that sort of thing anymore. My pleasure pillows are purely for my husband."
Mirren has taken off her clothes on screen numerous times throughout her career starting with 1969's "Age of Consent" all the way through to 2003's "Calendar Girls" and...
