dodo could be brought back from extinction by Jurassic Park-style scientists.After years of failed attempts, researchers have now been able to map the gene sequence of the flightless bird.Professor Beth Shapiro, from the University of California, Santa Cruz, said: “The dodo genome is entirely sequenced because we sequenced it.“It’s not been published yet but it does exist and we’re working on it right now.”Evolutionary scientists spent years trying to find dodo DNA that was in good enough condition.A breakthrough came when they got a sample from a “fantastic specimen” in Denmark. But they have warned it may not be easy to turn it into a “living, breathing, actual animal”.Prof Shapiro, 46, added: “The way we can do this is to clone it, the same approach that was used to create Dolly the Sheep.“But we don’t know how to do that with birds because of the intricacies of their reproductive pathways.“There are groups working on different approaches for doing that and I have little doubt that we are going to get there eventually.”To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.

had their moment in the spotlight on Wednesday at the Los Angeles premiere. An adaptation of the 2017 best-selling novel by Min Jin Lee, the eight-episode, multilingual series chronicles the hopes and dreams of a Korean immigrant family across four generations as they leave their homeland in a quest to survive and thrive.

Jane Campion fought through tears last night accepting the Best Director award for The Power Of The Dog at the New York Film Critics Circle ceremony last night after a moving intro from Martin Scorsese.

President Joe Biden trekked to Capitol Hill for the annual Friends of Ireland luncheon, where guests in the Rayburn Room were treated to jumbo crab salad, noisettes of lamb with lemony grilled vegetables and shamrock-shaped cookies, along with a performance from Riverdance.

Just six weeks before Ron Jeremy’s trial on multiple rape charges is scheduled to start, a judge this morning hit the pause button so the ex-porn star could receive psychiatric evaluations.

Netflix’s The Power of the Dog was named Best Film and won Best Director and Best Screenplay for Jane Campion while Neon/Participant’s animated documentary Flee won a leading four awards Thursday at the 13th annual Dorian Awards, presented by GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics.

The Sole family grows peaches. Round white peaches ripen first; then the flat white peaches that supermarkets like; then yellow cling peaches. Their farmhouse is surrounded by the plantation they have tended for three generations, promised to them in perpetuity by the current owner’s great-grandparents during the Civil War. Memories are long in their corner of Catalonia. Nobody remembers a time before peaches. Harvesting determines the rhythm of their rumbustious family life. When the fruit ripens, it’s all hands on deck.

Guy Lodge Film CriticYou can practically smell the midsummer fatigue that wafts through “Alcarràs” on the faintest and most occasional of breezes: a mixture of sweat, baked earth and ripe, plump peaches, inviting in the moment but suggestive of future spoiling. All simple seasonal pleasures are on borrowed time in Carla Simón’s lovely, bittersweet agricultural drama, and not just because winter is inevitably coming.

Of all the unsolved mysteries in Claire Denis‘ new Berlin Competition film, the biggest may just be its U.S. retitling to a generic and not particularly representative “Fire.” The film’s English title in the rest of the world, “Both Sides of the Blade” — a line from the terrific Tindersticks track that ends the film —is not just cooler and more compelling.

Juliette Binoche puts in another tremendous performance in Claire Denis’ drama Both Sides Of The Blade (aka Fire, and also aka Avec Amour Et Acharnement). The Berlin Film Festival competition title is an intimate slow-burner that sets a credible scene, but doesn’t quite deliver on the mystery it promises. 

Guy Lodge Film Critic“Fire” begins in water: a wide, rippling expanse of Mediterranean blue under a cloudless sky, displaced and disrupted by two whirling human bodies. Sara (Juliette Binoche) and Jean (Vincent Lindon) tussle in the otherwise empty ocean as though they’ve just discovered weightlessness, while Eric Gautier’s camera lingers on skin touching skin under the shimmer.
