Michael Apted (1941–2021), “Coal Miner’s Daughter” director

Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer are starring in Jordan Peele‘s latest horror, Nope!

Pretty well from when he started out in 2002, melding fiction, recreation and direct reportage in films that won him two San Sebastián Golden Shells but bamboozled more mainstream critics, Spain’s Isaki Lacuesta has maintained that he wanted to make larger audience movies.With his tenth feature, Berlin competition player “One Year, One Night,” taking in the 2015 Bataclan Paris terrorist attack, he finally has his chance.Produced by Lacuesta’s label La Termita Films and Spain’s Bambu Producciones, the company behind milestone Spanish TV shows “Grand Hotel,” “Velvet” and “Cable Girls,” “One Year, One Night” cost six times the budget of Lacuesta’s most expensive film before that, the director says. It stars Argentina’s Nahuel Pérez (“BPM (Beats Per Minute)”) and Noémie Merlant (“Portrait of a Lady on Fire”), two of the most admired young actors currently working in France, and it’s backed by the distribution and sales muscle of Studiocanal, which took a minority stake in Bambu in 2016.“I’ve never tried to make films of a size whose budget I didn’t have,” says Lacuesta.

Along with Robert Eggers and Ari Aster, Jordan Peele is one of modern horror’s new masters. Well, good news, horror fans: all three directors have new films out this year.

We might have a slight rain delay here," after being showered by drinks.Ryder's tee shot had landed just right and short of the hole before bouncing a couple of times and tumbling into the hole to secure a hole in one on the par three 16th.This caused those in the stands watching to launch their drinks into the air in celebration, having maintained an electric atmosphere throughout the day.Speaking after his round, Ryder said: “I don't know how I could pick a hole over this one.Who will win the Phoenix Open?
