Geeta Malik In “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,” Francie Nolan sat on her fire escape, ate peppermint wafers, spied on her neighbors, and read books. In Aurora, I sat on my roof, ate pretzels, spied on my neighbors, and read “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.” I felt seen by Francie Nolan and it surprised me when people were surprised by the fact that I related to her. At a certain point, I understood that people assumed I’d have more in common with the slum kids in “City of Joy” than Francie.

Emmerdale actress Rosie Bentham, 20, has expressed her hopes of seeing the return of fellow soap actor Alex Lincoln, 28, in an interview with Express.co.uk and other outlets. Rosie plays Gabby Thomas on the show, while Alex portrays the father of her child, Jamie Tate.While Jamie was presumed to be dead following a dreadful car accident, Gabby has since been given reason to believe the father of her son, Thomas Tate (Bertie Thomas Brotherton), is still alive. This month, viewers watched in fear as Gabby noticed a hooded figure lurking in the woods at Home Farm. We recently watched in horror as a paranoid Gabby went into the woods with a shotgun, shooting Will Taylor (Dean Andrews), after believing that a disguised Jamie was coming for her and their son.  Asked if she would like to see the character of Jamie return, Rosie confirmed: “Yeah, I think it’s kind of been left as a little like, ‘What's going to happen?’ and I think it'd be really good. “I'd love to see Alex back, you know, it’s good fun. “And it would be a lot of drama, which would be good, and he hasn't even met the baby yet. “So he needs to come back and be a dad,” she teased mysteriously. Speaking about the dramatic events that occurred during the infamous episode involving the shooting, Rosie shared: “Yeah, I was really excited about this week.

Chelsea over the past few months but with Todd Boehly's £4.25 billion takeover now officially confirmed everyone associated with the club can finally breathe.With the Roman Abramovich era finally in the rear-view mirror the club can focus on forward planning, as opposed to just trying to keep their heads above water amid the chaos and confusion of government sanctions.Most Blues fans will be sorry to see the Russian go, but make no mistake, today's news will be universally welcomed with the threat of liquidation finally vanquished.For the first time since February it's business as usual at Stamford Bridge, and with that in mind, Daily Star Sport has taken a look at seven things the club are allowed to do again as the Boehly era begins.With Chelsea's sanctioned former owner now out of the picture the club's transfer ban can finally be lifted, which will come as welcome relief for manager Thomas Tuchel who spoke of the need to "rebuild" Chelsea's squad earlier this month.The club are set to lose both Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen this summer but the futures of several other first-team players are still up in the air and a mass exodus could be on the cards, and the Blues will need to start lining up replacements.Sevilla's Jules Kounde is expected to be one of the first names through the door, but given that Tuchel has only made one major signing (Romelu Lukaku) during his year-and-half stint in west London, we can probably expect at least two or three more to follow.How many players do you think Chelsea will sign this summer? Let us know in the comments section.As part of the sanctions imposed on Abramovich, Chelsea weren't allowed to conduct any business away from the pitch, which meant they couldn't negotiate

Clayton Davis Amazon and MGM may have completed their $8.5 billion merger in March, but don’t expect to see “Three Thousand Years of Longing,” the fantastical love story from director George Miller, streaming on Prime Video on Aug. 31 when the film opens.Miller is a true believer in cinema and the movie theatres that house them. “It would be very painful to know that your movie will be first seen on streaming,” he tells Variety.“There’s a commitment that they can’t change.

CANNES – George Miller is one of the most acclaimed filmmakers of his generation, but when it comes to Tilda Swinton he truly knows among the greats. The star, along with Idris Elba, of his new film “Three Thousand Years of Longing” says she doesn’t pick roles.

As if unleashing all the pent-up narrative impulses tamped down for the hard-bitten minimalism of “Mad Max: Fury Road,” Australia’s proudest son George Miller returns to Cannes’ out-of-Competition section with a sumptuous banquet of storytelling in service of storytelling. “Three Thousand Years of Longing” compresses eons of heartbreak, happenstance, and hope into a hotel room tête-à-tête that then re-blooms to the size of the universe, a parable both titanic and intimate in scale as it negotiates one woman’s complacent solitude against the welfare of mythologies dating back to the cradle of civilization.

George Miller told press today in Cannes that his new film 3000 Years of Longing is a fantasy story that is “open to interpretation.”

When ranging out of Mad Max territory, George Miller’s films are highly diverse and unpredictable in nature, and never has this proved more the case than with his time-traveling, narratively far-ranging new drama, Three Thousand Years of Longing. In this Cannes Film Festival competition entry, the director delves back into old texts to examine the nature and power of legendary stories that have endured for centuries in a way that is both sharply creative and a bit off-putting; the film begins on quite a high, only to slowly deflate as it works its way toward its modern-day ending.

The Oscar buzz for 2023 has already begun thanks to the films premiering at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival!

Clayton Davis The genie is out of the bottle for the dynamic director George Miller and his newest venture “Three Thousand Years of Longing,” starring Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba. You’ll hear the awards comparisons that call it Miller’s version of “The Shape of Water” (2017), Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar-winner for best picture, but it’s closer to Terrence Malick’s “The Tree of Life” (2012) but with an accessible and soulful core. It’s a love story to the storytellers, and a love letter to mankind.

David Fincher‘s projects with Netflix over the years are manifold. He’s directed episodes of “Mindhunter” and “House Of Cards,” produced “Voir,” a collection of short video essays, and released his 2020 film, “Mank,” on the platform.

Zack Sharf George Miller electrified the Cannes Film Festival with “Three Thousand Years of Longing,” his first directorial effort since “Mad Max: Fury Road.” Miller’s latest, starring Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba, earned a six-minute standing ovation after its world premiere at Cannes’ Palais theater.A love letter to storytelling and its tropes and parables passed down through history, “Three Thousand Years” follows a solitary academic (Swinton) and a burdened genie (Elba) she finds in a bottle in the markets of Istanbul. His history unfolds in the stories of those who had found him before.While his memories were relayed in dazzling ancient locations with heavy special effects, half of the film is spent in a hotel room (the same that Agatha Christie lived in when she wrote “Murder on the Orient Express,” a bellhop tells Swinton).

The eventful new trailer for George Miller’s “Three Thousand Years of Longing” has been released.

The upcoming movie Three Thousand Years of Longing has debuted its first trailer, minutes before the film premieres at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival!

Wilson Chapman editorSeven years after the critically acclaimed “Mad Max: Fury Road,” George Miller is back in the director’s chair for the epic romance film “Three Thousand Years of Longing.”Based on the 1994 short story “The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye” by English writer A. S. Byatt, “Three Thousand Years of Longing” stars Tilda Swinton as Alithea, a brilliant scholar who encounters a Djinn (Idris Elba) imprisoned in an urn.

It hopefully should not be controversial to say that “Mad Max: Fury Road” is a titanic work of modern filmmaking. It may then come as a surprise that its equally iconic creator, George Miller, has not made a film since its release.

It’s been seven years since Australian filmmaker George Miller dropped “Mad Max: Fury Road,” the acclaimed action fantasy some consider the best movie of the century. Now, the visionary writer/director/producer is back in the spotlight with another idiosyncratic original story.

Aussie director George Miller is at the Cannes Film Festival to premiere his romantic fantasy film “Three Thousand Years of Longing” which is led by British actors Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton. Miller was specifically asked about his “Mad Max: Fury Road” prequel “Furiosa” where he gave a little bit of insight into the post-apocalypse action film.
