UK-based indie Archery Pictures, whose credits include Operation Mincemeat (2022) and Riviera Series 3, has picked up the film rights to the New York Times bestselling novel Lies We Sing To The Sea by Sarah Underwood.

Archery has set Ripley Parker, writer of the upcoming Netflix series The Fuck It Bucket and daughter of Ol Parker and Thandiwe Newton, to adapt the novel.

Billed as a “magical coming-of-age,” the novel is set in Ancient Greece and is inspired by the myth of Penelope’s hanged maids.

The full synopsis reads: In the cursed kingdom of Ithaca, each spring brings the hanging of twelve young women, a tithe to the vengeful Poseidon.

Netflix’s ‘Transatlantic’ Leans Into Glossiness Over Realism: TV Review

Aramide Tinubu Piecing together pivotal historical events in a limited series in order to create a compelling narrative is a tall task. However, creator and writer Anna Winger is no stranger to this work. Her 2020 adaptation of Deborah Feldman’s 2012 autobiography, “Unorthodox,” which followed one Jewish woman’s liberation from her Hasidic community, received critical acclaim. With her latest series, “Transatlantic,” an adaptation of Julie Orringer’s novel “The Flight Portfolio,” Winger is again centering real-life figures fighting against oppression. From 1940 to 1941, literary journalist Varian Fry and American heiress Mary Jayne Gold were instrumental in helping pivotal Jewish writers and artists flee France amid the Nazi occupation. However, while Esty Shapiro’s personal journey to freedom in the contemporary setting of “Unorthodox” was sharp and captivating, “Transatlantic” lacks the same sense of urgency and precision.

How the royals celebrate Easter from family reunions to four-course lunch and egg hunt

Easter for the Royal Family is usually all about getting everyone back together to spend the Bank Holiday with one another and follow the same traditions that have been kept within the family for decades. Easter 2023 will be the first that the royal family will spend without the late Queen Elizabeth II after her death last September, but in line with traditions kept for years, things will remain similar to previous years. Every year, most members of the family, including Prince William and Kate Middleton, Charles and Camilla and Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie gather at Windsor Castle for the Easter Sunday church service at St George’s Chapel, where crowds of well-wishers gather in the castle grounds with flowers and presents.

‘The Little Mermaid’ Remake Updated Song Lyrics So Prince Eric Doesn’t ‘Force Himself’ on Ariel: ‘People Have Gotten Very Sensitive’

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Prince Eric will not be forcing himself on Ariel through song in Disney’s upcoming live-action “The Little Mermaid,” directed by Rob Marshall. Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken, who wrote the music for the 1989 animated movie, returned to work on the 2023 live-action remake and updated some of the song lyrics so they wouldn’t be outdated when it comes to consensual relationships. “There are some lyric changes in ‘Kiss the Girl’ because people have gotten very sensitive about the idea that [Prince Eric] would, in any way, force himself on [Ariel],” Menken recently told Vanity Fair. “We have some revisions in ‘Poor Unfortunate Souls’ regarding lines that might make young girls somehow feel that they shouldn’t speak out of turn, even though Ursula is clearly manipulating Ariel to give up her voice.”

‘Wicked’ to Become Fourth-Longest Running Show in Broadway History

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “Wicked,” the untold story of everything that happened before Dorothy dropped down in Oz, is poised to make Broadway history.

Kathryn Hahn Shines as Cheryl Strayed in ‘Tiny Beautiful Things’: TV Review

Alison Herman Kathryn Hahn has a type. Since starring in Joey Soloway’s “Afternoon Delight” in 2013, the actor has spent a decade delivering nuanced portrayals of messy, horny, hilarious women who bluster their way through middle age. It is a miracle of modern television that Hahn’s hyper-specific specialty has supported three separate series: “I Love Dick,”also helmed by Soloway; “Mrs. Fletcher”;and now, “Tiny Beautiful Things.” Created by Liz Tigelaar of “Little Fires Everywhere,”the Hulu half-hour casts Hahn as a fictional version of Cheryl Strayed, the memoirist and advice columnist who rose to fame by blending both forms into one. The show is adapted from the 2012 book of the same name, a collection of essays Strayed first published under the moniker Dear Sugar. Strayed met her readers’ deeply personal disclosures with some of her own, sharing her experience with addiction, grief and abuse in long missives more meandering and literary than straightforward tips. As a series, “Tiny Beautiful Things” aggregates and expands those experiences, then attributes them to Hahn’s Strayed surrogate, Clare Pierce.
