Searchlight Acquires Annapurna’s ‘Nightbitch’ With Amy Adams, Marielle Heller To Direct
What will it take for Amy Adams to win Best Actress at the Oscars? The actress already has six nominations from performances in “American Hustle” and “Arrival,” among others, but she hasn’t managed to snag the prize yet.

‘Angelyne’ Review: Emmy Rossum Shines In A Hot Pink World Of Celebrity & Proto-Influencer Culture
The world of “Angelyne” is hot pink. It’s a pink that can’t be described in terms of bubble gum or cotton candy because no one in the world would ever invent something pink enough to make this pink’s namesake. Except, maybe, Angelyne (here played by Emmy Rossum) herself. The enigmatic, endlessly watchable pop figure at the center of Peacock’s new series is the stuff of Los Angeles legend, as the show loves to remind us. Yet despite fixating unabashedly on the real-life Barbie for five full episodes, “Angelyne” remains as clever and winning as its subject. Maybe the color should be called “Angelyne pink.” She’d probably like that.

After venturing out into the jungle (“The Lost City Of Z”), exploring the unfathomable unknowns of deep space (“Ad Astra”) and coming to the same conclusions about the dark heart of human nature, Gray returns to the pavement of his New York City roots for one of his most emotionally honest works regarding the elemental moments of life, love and loss.

Marvel‘s newest heroine is “Ms. Marvel” played by Pakistani-Canadian actress Iman Vellani, who went from high school student straight into becoming a key cog in Marvel Cinematic Universe. That’s a huge leap for anyone, but even more impressive given Vellani’s age. Her landmark superhero role of Kamala Khan sees her play a teenage high school student from New Jersey with new cosmic powers (a potential stand-in for womanhood/puberty) in a world populated by more seasoned superheroes. “Ms. Marvel” also marks the first leading Muslim superhero as Marvel continues to expand the diversity of the MCU.
