Actresses Anna Paquin and Holliday Grainger are currently in Scotland to shoot the new movie, Tell It To The Bees. The film is a lesbian-themed drama, tinged with magical realism, based on Fiona Shaw’s novel, according to Deadline.
In the film, ‘Paquin plays Doctor Jean Markham who returns to her hometown to take over her late father’s practice. When a school-yard scuffle lands young Charlie in her office, she invites him to visit the hives in her garden and to tell his secrets to the bees as she once did. The friendship between the boy and the doctor brings his mother Lydia (Grainger) into Jean’s world. The women find themselves drawn to one another in a way that Jean recognizes and fears, and which Lydia could never have expected. But in 1950s small-town Britain, the secret won’t stay hidden forever.’
Annabel Jankel will direct. It’s a slightly different project for her, as she’s best known for her work in music videos and music documentaries, as well as her movies in the 80s and early 90s such as Max Headroom, D.O.A, and Super Mario Bros. Hopefully we’ll get to see Tell It To The Bees sometime next year.
Leonardo DiCaprio apparently got his name after his mother felt him kick in the womb while she was looking at a Leonardo da Vinci painting in the Uffizi in Florence. It’s perhaps not too much of a surprise then that the now fully grown Leo would be interested in playing the renaissance genius in a movie.
A few days ago RuPaul mentioned in an interview that there was a TV show about his early life in the works, adding that JJ Abrams was behind it and Willow Smith could play him. At the time it was difficult to know if he was being serious or not, but it turns out he was.
Neuromancer is probably William Gibson’s most famous and celebrated novel. However, despite various attempts over the years it’s never been brought to the big screen (indeed Gibson’s idiosyncratic style means few of his stories have).
Sony is planning to expand its Spider-man universe with a Venom movie. They’ve made a good start by picking Tom Hardy for the central role, and now they’ve cast another excellent British actor in the movie.
There’s no one quite like Grace Jones, a singer, model and performance artist who has always defied expectations, and often seemed like a deliberate enigma. From the 1980s many haven’t known what to make of her, but with her bold look and sexuality, she became beloved by many gay men – something she has been more than happy to reciprocate.
After battling with the advanced AI the White Queen in the Resident Evil movies, Milla Jovovich will be becoming a Blood Queen for the planned reboot of Hellboy. As that name suggests, she will be the villain of the piece.
Darren Aronofsky (Noah, Black Swan) likes to make unusual films, and it seems his latest, mother! will follow that trend. This time around it looks like he’s going to be trying to scare us with something intense and a little bit weird. Jennifer Lawrence certainly doesn’t look like she’s having a good time.
Having clocked up over 40 million views since it started in 2012, Where The Bears Are is one of the most successful gay web series out there. Indeed, it’s now achieved the very rare feat for an online show is preparing to release its sixth season. Considering there are many that never get to complete their first planned set of episode, it’s not bad going.
When it was announced earlier this year that Will & Grace was returning for a new season, it looked like it would probably be a one-off event. However, while they’ve only just started shooting the new episodes, a second new Will & Grace season featuring 13-more episodes has already been commissioned, while an additional four episode of the upcoming season have been added, bringing the total to 16.
