Ben Croll Thrown into uncertainty by the tragic death of star Gaspard Ulliel, production on Betrand Bonello’s “The Beast” will still go forward, the director confirmed to Variety. Bonello and Ulliel recently collaborated on the hybrid, essay film “Coma,” which premiered in Berlin’s Encounters sidebar.A sci-fi melodrama set in 1910, 2014 and 2044 and dealing with questions of reincarnation and technology, “The Beast” was set to reunite Léa Seydoux and Gaspar Ulliel, who both starred in Bonello’s 2014 biopic “Saint Laurent.” Bonello wrote the sweeping project with both actors in mind and planned to start shooting in April.While Ulliel’s sudden passing has upended that specific timeline, the filmmaker still intends to begin production later this year, telling Variety that he will likely recast the role with a non-French star.

BBC Breakfast was involved in a major presenting shake-up on Monday (February 14) as both its regular hosts were absent from the iconic red sofa.Permanent presenters Dan Walker and Sally Nugent - who usually host the show on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays - had been replaced by Jon Kay and Nina Warhurst.It represented a major change for viewers, as the last time both presenters were missing from the same episode was around the Christmas period - with both taking annual leave to enjoy the festive season.But both Nina and Jon proved popular with viewers, as one thrilled fan couldn't help but take to Twitter to say: "YESSSSS!!!! What a wonderful day to watch #BBCBreakfast! Two decent presenters - no need for Sky News this morning!"Another suggested: "Much better line up this morning with John and Nina. Should be Dan and Nina!"One baffled fan wrote: "Have Dan & Sally got Valentine's Day off or Jon+1 finally replaced them?"Other regular stars of the show, including weather presenter Carol Kirkwood and business correspondent Ben Boulos, made up a host of familiar faces for fans in Dan and Sally's absence.Dan's absence from the show soon made sense to fans, as he had been busy covering the US Super Bowl, which took place overnight.Though Dan wasn't presenting the show, he has been heavily involved in the run-up along with Jason Bell and Osi Umenyiora - so it made sense he would be watching the game overnight, and having a well-deserved rest in the morning.And as a sports journalist, the same does make sense for Sally - though she has not yet been on social media to confirm the reason behind her absence.

They told me I’d never instruct women again.”According to The Guardian, during her interrogation, she was asked to give up the names of other homosexual military personnel but she refused to do so.With the help of a partner at the time, Sillett was able to “pull through.
