Zack Sharf Digital News Director Florence Pugh said an interview with British Vogue that she did something this past summer that she’s never done before in her career: Asked to take a break from acting. The Oscar nominee had been working at breakneck speed for several years, filming roles in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune,” Marvel’s “Thunderbolts” and the upcoming A24 romance drama “We Live in Time.” It was time to hit the pause button. “[It’s] the first time ever in my career when I’ve actually asked for a summer break” Pugh said.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Gary Oldman recently told IndieWire that he believes Sirius Black wasn’t in the “Harry Potter” film franchise enough. The actor debuted as the fan-favorite character in 2004’s “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” but that movie marked the rare “Potter” film to give Sirius significant screen time. He was just a cameo in “Goblet of Fire” and “Deathly Hallows Part 2,” while his role in “Order of the Phoenix” was mainly just to show up and die.

Jordan Moreau Hans Zimmer had a long guest list for his 67th birthday: some 19,500 people at his sold-out Madison Square Garden concert on Thursday night. The legendary composer rocked the stage for nearly three hours, proving that film scores can captivate audiences just as much as set lists from any other popular artist nowadays, be it Chappell Roan, Linkin Park or Sabrina Carpenter (though Zimmer’s fans skewed a bit more middle-aged — and left the glitter and eye shadow at home). Alongside icons like John Williams, Ennio Morricone and Danny Elfman, Zimmer’s film scores are among the most recognizable in all cinema.

Néstor Carbonell has won Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for his turn in FX’s Shōgun.

EXCLUSIVE: Though Conclave is fiction based on the Robert Harris novel, you cannot watch Edward Berger’s taut thriller about the election of a new pope without noticing the parallels to the polarizing politics of the race for the White House. The surprise twists and turns abound as it becomes clear the Vatican will either retreat into past conservative, exclusionary policies, or embrace Catholics who’ve been excluded by the institution. The German-born filmmaker is introducing his follow-up to the harrowing WWI drama All Quiet on the Western Front, which won four Oscars including Best International Film. This one-two punch also announces a major filmmaking talent, though he’s no overnight success. Whether he moves on to a major studio franchise like Ocean’s 14 or 007, it is clear from the confident hand in his visual storytelling that Berger is a filmmaker who can make the kind of impact in sophisticated commercial fare as a Sam Mendes or Christopher Nolan. Here, Berger introduces himself to Deadline readers to position Conclave – which Focus Features launches in awards season – and discusses many other things. Ralph Fiennes (already generating strong Oscar buzz), Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, Isabella Rossellini star in a film that made its Toronto debut this morning and screens again Monday and Tuesday.

Guy Lodge Film Critic Time, space and mortality work to no earthly schedule in the half-lit, hand-made twilight world of “Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass” — so it’s appropriate that this vertiginous stop-motion vision seems to operate by temporal laws of its own. The first feature film in nearly 20 years from cult animators the Quay Brothers runs just 76 minutes, though in the process of watching it, it feels both infinitely longer than that and over in the blink of an eye, like a dream of epic proportions that you forget seconds after waking.
