The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo, Chilean writer-director Diego Céspedes’ AIDS bigotry drama and feature debut, spotlighted by THR as a festival gem, has claimed the top prize in the Cannes Film Festival’s 2025 Un Certain Regard competition.
The winning drama, set in the 1980s, portrays a small mining town in Chile where an unknown illness spreads and gay men are accused of transmitting it with their gaze. That leaves Lydia, an 11 year-old girl, to find out the truth. The Un Certain Regard competition winners were revealed in an awards ceremony in the Debussy Theatre on Friday.
Other honorees included A Poet, by Colombian director Simón Mesa Soto, taking home the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize for the drama about a failed poet mentoring a talented, young woman. The best director prize went to Tarzan Nasser and Arab Nasser for Once Upon a Time in Gaza, a Palestinian...

Jake Dunn Is Fiercely Protective of BBC Trans Drama ‘What It Feels Like for a Girl’

“Whenever I work, I’m like, ‘This will be the last time you do that,'” Jake Dunn laughs. “I just can’t believe it.”
His candid disbelief is no surprise when the Nottingham-born star, fresh out of drama school, went straight into filming a Sally Wainwright show. Dunn might be best known to viewers as Thomas in Renegade Nell, Disney+‘s fantasy adventure penned by the Happy Valley creator, which was canceled after one season last year.
“It does give you an understanding,” Dunn continues, “of when something is fizzing and exciting versus when something maybe doesn’t have that same impact on first read.” The 25-year-old would know better than a lot of people — he’s also worked on Jack Rook’s Big Boys, Nick Hamm’s historical epic William Tell and now turns to the BBC Three’s millennial coming-of-age drama based on the memoir by transgender journalist Paris Lees.

Star Alycia Debnam-Carey Sounds the Alarm on Wellness Influence

Alycia Debnam-Carey has always had a profound love of the arts. Though she’d been sharpening her acting skills since the age of 8 and landed roles in short films in Australia as a teen, Debnam-Carey found herself drawn to the “consistency and security” of music, so much so that the classical percussionist and jazz drummer nearly auditioned for the Sydney Conservatorium of Music ahead of her high school graduation.
“I was in my tutoring, getting ready for all the pieces that we were going to play and sitting there suddenly having the audition scheduled and going, ‘Actually, I don’t think I want to do this,’ ” recalls Debnam-Carey, 31. “I remember being like, ‘I’ve actually booked a flight to Hollywood’ — which was so chaotic — but I just inherently knew that acting was always something...
‘Wolf Hall’ Director on How He Pulled off The Silent Scene That Relayed a Thousand Words

Wolf Hall director Peter Kosminsky selected this shot — which sees courtier Thomas Cromwell (Mark Rylance) and newly appointed Queen of England Jane Seymour (Kate Phillips) walking silently through a magnificent hall toward an uncertain meeting with King Henry VIII (Damian Lewis) — because of the immense technical and emotional challenges it posed.
“We need to help the audience understand the world of Tudor England 500 years ago, which is very unfamiliar to us,” he explains. “It’s a scene in which absolutely nothing is said. It’s all visual. has just had her first conjugal night with Henry VIII. Cromwell and Jane are in love and would have married if Henry VIII hadn’t intervened and stolen her for himself. That subtext has to be conveyed in this shot with no words.”
The lengthy shot involved “tracking backward with...

‘Carrie’ Showrunner Mike Flanagan “Can’t Wait” for Viewers to See Summer Howell in Title Role

Mike Flanagan, who is steering Prime Video’s upcoming Carrie series, says the production looked at more than a thousand submissions for the lead role before deciding on Summer Howell.
“I think we looked at 1,800 different candidates for that role,” Flanagan told The Hollywood Reporter at the premiere of his new film The Life of Chuck, his latest collaboration with Carrie author Stephen King. “It was an exhaustive process.”
Sissy Spacek famously starred as telekentic teenager Carrie White in the 1976 film adaptation of King’s 1974 book, while Chloe Grace Moretz took on the role for the 2013 remake. Other actresses who have portrayed the character on both the big and small screen include Angela Bettis in a 2002 TV movie and Emily Bergl in the poorly reviewed 1999 sequel The Rage: Carrie 2.
“I think we ended up with the right actor for the part,” Flanagan said...

SNL Meets BLT. Is Michaels Adapting McNally’s Memoir?
Logo text
Looks like Lorne Michaels may have found his next prestige project — and this one comes with steak frites and a side of passive-aggressive Instagram feuding. Sources tell Rambling Reporter that the Saturday Night Live creator has optioned Keith McNally‘s dishy new memoir, I Regret Almost Everything, which charts the legendary restaurateur’s rise, fall, stroke, suicide attempt, recovery and general disappointment with humanity. In other words, comedy gold.
McNally, of course, is the onetime Brasserie King of Manhattan — the man who, as The New York Times once put it, “invented downtown” with such ’80s and ’90s hotspots as Odeon and Balthazar. More recently, he’s drawn attention for his unfiltered Instagram account — a kind of running off-off-Broadway one-man show where he’s taken aim at everyone from James Corden (banned from Balthazar in 2022 for alleged omelet-related...
