A Place In The Sun fans enraged as guest refuses to look at properties

Clayton Davis It’s late summer, so it’s time to start talking about awards season. Cannes issued the first slate of contenders in the international feature Oscar race, and now Venice and Toronto are ready to screen another batch, which begs the question: What looks like the breakout pics from the festival circuit that should contend for kudos? More than 90 countries have been submitting films for Academy consideration for the past few years, in order to walk away with the coveted best international feature Oscar. Coming off the Cinderella story of Japan’s “Drive My Car” from Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, which was also nominated for three other Oscars including best picture, it became the tenth film to be recognized for both best picture and international feature.

The official social media accounts for the Universal film publicized the news this week, announcing that the movie will hit digital services on demand (such as Amazon and Apple) on Aug. 26. Although its price isn’t listed yet, it can be assumed that it’ll cost around $30 considering the price of other buzzy digital releases such as “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and “The Rise of Gru.” The UFO thriller stars Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya as sibling, OJ and Emerald, who discover signs of alien life — namely a giant undulating flying saucer — on their horse ranch and attempt to photograph their ominous encounters in order to sell them and get rich.

All the action is told through Peele’s racially conscious lens, focusing on the siblings’ hesitancy to tell authorities about their findings because of their general mistrust of mainstream white society.

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor Welcome to this week’s “Just for Variety.” Heidi Klum may have been one of the most famous models associated with Victoria’s Secret, but she says she turned down an invite to be interviewed for Hulu’s “Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons.” “They asked me if I wanted to be part of it,” Klum tells me on this week’s “Just for Variety” podcast. “And I was like, ‘If you’re looking for a negative story, you’re barking up the wrong tree because I had the most wonderful time there.’” Matt Tyrnauer’s three-episode series paints a picture of Victoria’s Secret as a company that was plagued by wide-spread misogyny and sexual misconduct. It also explores former CEO Les Wexner’s disturbing ties to the late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Klum says she watched the first episode but “hardly anyone I knew was on that show,” she says. “I didn’t know who all of those people were.” She describes her experience with the lingerie brand as “the best time ever.”

Ethan Shanfeld When “Stranger Things” first aired on Netflix in 2016, its main cast ranged from around 12 to 14 years old, matching the age of their seventh grade characters. But as it progressed, the series’ timeline moved slower than real life, and soon enough, the young actors were hitting puberty before their characters, creating a challenge for the show’s directors and producers. According to Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers on the hit sci-fi show, a producer approached him during an earlier season and asked if he could raise the pitch of his voice and change his posture to better emulate Will’s age. While Will is either 14 or 15 in Season 4 of “Stranger Things,” Schnapp is nearing 18.

Yossman “Newsnight” anchor Emily Maitlis took aim at Donald Trump, the U.K. government and the BBC – her soon-to-be former employer – in a speech at the Edinburgh TV Festival on Wednesday evening. But crucially she didn’t give any insight into her infamous interview with Prince Andrew, which she is now hoping to turn into a scripted drama. “I apologise to anyone who came thinking this would be about the Prince Andrew interview,” said Maitlis, who has reportedly signed a deal with Blueprint Pictures to make a screen adaptation of the interview. “That will have to wait till next time.” While many of the attendees to Maitlis’ MacTaggart lecture were hoping she would open up about the “car crash” interview, which saw Andrew banished from public life after it aired, Maitlis instead chose to focus on the journalistic landscape, giving examples of her own interviews with former Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka as well as actor Robert de Niro.

dirty trick on his unsuspecting wife. Prankster Mike Legg virally bamboozled his bride of 10 years, Joelle, baiting her into a “romantic treasure hunt” using flowers, balloons and heart-shaped confetti leading up to a filthy surprise in the kitchen.But, instead of a thoughtful gift or sexy time, Joelle — who Mike blindfolded with a plush bunny-shaped eye mask — was slack-jawed to see that her much-ballyhooed boon was nothing more than a sink full of dirty dishes. “F–k you!” Joelle howls in the now-trending clip of the priceless prank, which has fetched more than 4.5 million viral views on TikTok as of Wednesday afternoon. “She had no idea what was going on,” Mike, 37, from Auckland, New Zealand, told Kennedy News. “I haven’t given her flowers in ages so she thought I’d done something bad and was guilty of something.”A consummate jokester, rather than wash the food-stained plates and utensils himself, Mike went to a local shop to purchase the bouquet and decorations before Joelle, a holistic health coach, came home from work.
