The work of Charles Dickens always seems prescient and allows for multiple incarnations when it’s adapted for the stage, big screen, and television. Another version of his classic love story “Great Expectations” is coming from FX and BBC as the two are teaming for an ambitious new series from Steven Knight (“Peaky Blinders“).

killed his pregnant wife by shoving her off a cliff edge when posing for a selfie has been jailed for 30 years.Police suspected 32-year-old Semra Aysal's fall was no accident when they saw evil Hakan Aysal, 40, behave weirdly beforehand in a witness' video taken at the beauty spot.Aysal's motive became clearer at the discovery of him immediately cashing in £21,700 of life insurance from his late wife's tragedy.Semra was seven-months-pregnant wife when she was lured by her husband to the edge of a cliff in Butterfly Valley, southern Turkey in June 2018.Chilling pictures of the couple show Aysal taking a selfie with Semra just moments before she died.Prosecutors claimed that the only reason they sat on top of the cliff for three hours was so that he could make sure no one was around, and as soon as he realised they were alone, he deliberately killed her by pushing her off the cliff.Witness Recep Sahin told The Fethiye High Criminal Court: “I stopped there to see the view of Kabak Bay with my family.“My daughter was filming the view with my phone and the Aysal couple came down the slope at that moment.“We even joked, ‘either this man will throw the woman off or the woman will throw the man’. There was no interaction between them.”In a video interview, the court heard from the victim’s brother, Naim Yolcu, who said: "When we went to the Forensic Medicine Institute to get the body, Hakan was sitting in the car.

Marion Cotillard is once again making a glamorous appearance at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival!

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorWith the Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard film “Annette” premiering in Cannes, brothers Russell and Ron Mael, better known as Sparks, may have an early original song contender on hand with “So May We Start.”Directed by Leos Carax, the film centers around Henry (Driver), a stand-up comedian with a fierce sense of humor, who falls in love with Ann (Cotillard), a world-renowned opera singer. At the center of the film is its music, a rock opera of sorts.

Cannes Film Festival in France on Wednesday. The French actress, 45, looked in good spirits at the event where she was also joined by director Leos after the film made its debut during the opening night of Cannes the previous evening.

CANNES – There is a surprise in Leos Carax’s “Annette” that many will not be expecting. The fact the press shy cinematic auteur is able to pull it off is a credit to his unique skills as a filmmaker.

Adam Driver got so bored during a five-minute standing ovation at Cannes that he started smoking a cigarette. The actor was attending at the premiere of his new musical film Annette, in which he stars alongside Marion Cotillard.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticDebuting on opening night of the Cannes Film Festival a full year after it was originally expected to appear, “Annette” arrives on a pedestal from which it’s too easily toppled. This latest dose of weirdness from “Holy Motors” director Leos Carax — a tortured celebrity love story set to the maddening music of Sparks and starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard — would surely fare better in an underdog position than anointed from the outset.

CANNES, France (AP) — The Cannes Film Festival rolled out the red carpet for the first time in more than two years on Tuesday, launching the French Riviera spectacular with the introduction of Spike Lee's jury, the premiere of Leos Carax's “Annette” and high hopes of shrugging off the pandemic and a punishing year for movies. The 74th Cannes opened Tuesday with as much glitz as it could summon.

Adam Driver, a French-fluent Jodie Foster, a suited Spike Lee and surprise guest Pedro Almodovar all marked the return of the Cannes Film Festival at a glamorous, emotional opening ceremony on Tuesday evening.The first festival gathering to be hosted without social-distanced screenings since the start of the pandemic a year-and half ago, Cannes pulled it off in a big way with the premiere of “Annette,” director Leos Carax’s musical starring Driver and Marion Cotillard.Making the humid evening even more poignant were homages to a pair of American legends, Foster and Lee, the latter serving as this year’s jury president.

Marion Cotillard and Adam Driver are stepping out in style for the 2021 Cannes Film Festival!

Since 1984, Leos Carax has only made five features, and all but one of them have premiered in Cannes, usually to feverish anticipation. This year, festivalgoers will be looking to see how the 60-year-old French maverick—AKA Alex Christophe Dupont—will top his intoxicatingly strange 2012 competition entry Holy Motors, which featured talking limos, chimpanzees and Kylie Minogue. They’ll get their answer when Cannes raises the curtain on this year’s opener Annette, a thematically dark, visually kaleidoscopic rock opera he co-wrote with U.S. pop duo Sparks, which stars Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard.

This might be a first for a movie musical.

The Cannes Film Festival begins this week and one of the films that is going to debut there will be “Annette,” the movie is helmed by French filmmaker Leos Carax (“Holy Motors“) with a script penned by Carax alongside Ron Mael and Russell Mael, aka The Sparks Brothers, who will also have roles in the film. The siblings were recently the subject of a rock documentary “The Sparks Brothers” directed by Edgar Wright.
