Filming for season 3 of And Just Like That… is officially underway. While filming is still in its early stages, fans have been treated to plenty of sneak peeks from scenes around New York City. Aidan Shaw’s big return was the talk of the internet early this week, but fans are also zeroing in on Carrie Bradshaw’s fashion choices. Season 3 is shaping up to look much different than the previous ones. Carrie was spotted wearing atypical footwear and carrying an interesting reading choice.

Celebrity bookworm Elizabeth Banks is bringing back her book club — but this time, it’s entirely fiction. The Cocaine Bear director has relaunched her reading circle as a shameless gateway to her canned wine brand, Archer Roose.
“If you’re a female famous person and you don’t have a book club, are you actually famous? No, of course not! That’s why I’m proud to announce the Elizabeth Banks Book Club,” the Hunger Games star exclaims in a new ad. “Let’s embark on this journey together, maybe learn a little something along the way. That’s what book clubs are for, they’re certainly not to sell your wine.”

Todd Field may be taking a bow alongside Lydia Tár.
The “TÁR” writer-director revealed that it is “highly likely” that the critically acclaimed film will be his last feature. “TÁR” was nominated for six Academy Awards, including lead star Cate Blanchett for Best Actress and Field for Best Original Screenplay and Best Director, as well as Best Picture. Field previously helmed two other films, “In the Bedroom” (2001) and “Little Children” (2006).
“There’s a real challenge in making a film of any size. It’s not for the faint of heart,” Field told Cinema Scope. “I wish I was cut out for different stuff because I probably wouldn’t make more films. It takes a great deal out of me to make a film; I don’t know that I’ll ever make another one.”
When asked if he will make another feature film, Todd added, “I don’t think so,...

One of the more fun challenges for any writer must be figuring out the narrowest possible scope to capture the broadest possible moment in history. Take Erik Larson’s “The Devil in the White City,” for example. The recently un-greenlit series remains a Hollywood favorite because Larson used a lurid series of events – the rise and fall of serial killer H.H. Holmes – as a window into turn-of-the-century America and the rising tide of modernity.

Hulu viewers will not see The Devil in the White City on the streaming service after all. Plans for the limited series have been cancelled, per Deadline.
Based on the book by Erik Larson, the story is set in 1893 Chicago and tells the true tale of the conflict between two brilliant men -- Daniel H. Burnham, the brilliant architect behind the legendary 1893 World's Fair, and Dr. H. H. Holmes, the infamous serial killer who used the fair to lure victims to their death.

"Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir this show's blood." Hulu has decided to walk away from "Devil in the White City" -- the series adaptation of Erik Larson's 2003 non-fiction historical novel -- after developing it with Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio for over two-and-a-half years. Deadline, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter all brought word of the new development at the same time. Their sources say that the show's producers, ABC Signature and Paramount Television Studios, are still committed to the project and will be shopping "Devil in the White City" around to other platforms, in the hopes of finding a new home. But as of now, the series is more or less dead.
According to THR, Jude Law ("Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore") and Jeremy Allen White ("The Bear") were last in talks to star in "Devil in the White City," with Matt Ross...

Martin Scorsee and Leonardo DiCaprio’s adaptation of “The Devil in the White City,” based on Erik Larson’s 2003 book about the notorious real-life 19th-century serial killer, is no longer moving forward at Hulu, multiple sources reported on Monday.
It’s the latest no-go for the project in a nearly 20-year attempt to bring it to the screen. The most recent version had Keanu Reeves set to star as visionary architect Daniel H. Burnham, but once “Tár” director Todd Field exited in October, so did Reeves.
No casting was announced for the title role of Dr. H. H. Holmes, who is considered America’s first modern serial killer. He slaughtered guests who were attending the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair in his diabolical “Murder Castle.” The horrific true story inspired a 2006 episode of “Supernatural.”

After a lengthy pre-production process that saw a revolving door of talent join and then exit the project, Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio’s “Devil in the White City” series is no longer moving forward at Hulu, sources with knowledge of the situation have confirmed to IndieWire. The adaptation will be shopped to other outlets by ABC Signature, which is still committed to making the show.
The news is the latest in a long series of setbacks for “Devil in the White City,” which has bounced around Hollywood in various iterations for over a decade. Based on a book of the same name by Erik Larson, “Devil in the White City” is set against the backdrop of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, and juxtaposes architect Daniel H. Burnham’s quest to put on a history-making event with the havoc that serial killer Dr. H. H. Holmes brought on the city.

The Devil in the White City is officially leaving town: Hulu has scrapped the book adaptation that formerly had Keanu Reeves attached to star, our sister site Variety reports. There are plans, though, to shop the project to other outlets.

An adaptation of Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City has been in the works for over a decade. The most recent incarnation was set up at Hulu as a limited series, but after losing leading man Keanu Reeves (John Wick: Chapter 4) and director Todd Field (Tar) last year, it seems that the streaming service has scrapped The Devil in the White City.
The Devil in the White City tells the story of Daniel H. Burnham, “a visionary architect who sets out to mark history with the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, and Dr. H. Holmes, America’s first modern serial killer and the man behind the notorious “Murder Castle” that was built in the shadow of the Fair.” THR’s report states that producers had been nearing deals with Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) and Jude Law (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Dumbledore) to star in the...

The series adaptation of “The Devil in the White City” is no longer moving forward at Hulu, Variety has learned.
The series had originally been ordered to series at the streamer in August 2022 after originally being put into development there in 2019. At the time it was ordered, Keanu Reeves was attached to star in one of the lead roles with Todd Field onboard to direct.
However, Variety exclusively reported that Field had dropped out of the show in October, with Reeves also exiting. According to sources, Reeves had signed on to the series due in part to Field’s involvement, but left the show once Field did.

Todd Field: Adam Sandler in ‘Punch-Drunk Love’ Is ‘One of the Great Screen Performances of All Time’
A Lydia Tár-Adam Sandler mash-up? Not quite.
Todd Field said that while he has been in casual talks with Adam Sandler about one day collaborating on a project, odds are it will not be a classic Sandler comedy. Instead, Field pointed to Sandler’s dramatic turn in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Punch-Drunk Love” as his personal favorite performance from the “Uncut Gems” actor. Anderson wrote the role for Sandler, and he earned a Golden Globe nomination.
“The first film of Adam’s I ever saw was Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘Punch Drunk Love,'” Field said during the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. “It floored me. It really is one of the great screen performances — for me — of all time, and obviously, the stuff he has done with the Safdies is amazing, and as you mentioned, the stuff he did with James L.

Tom Cruise is an intense dude, so when he tells you something, you’re probably safe to at least consider it. That’s what Todd Field did when Tom Cruise said that he should shift from acting to directing.
On Variety’s “Awards Circuit Podcast”, Todd Field revealed that on the set of Stanley Kubrick’s final film, 1999’s Eyes Wide Shut, co-star Tom Cruise approached him to give him some career advice. “He [was] basically pushing me onto the fighter jet…I said, ‘oh yeah, I went to film school.’ And he said, ‘no, no…you’re going to Direct.’ What are you going to do?” The answer was to direct, and two years later, Field made his directorial debut with the Oscar-nominated In the Bedroom.

Halia Abdel-Meguid is set to write and executive produce “Death Note,” a manga adaptation being developed at Netflix. The live action series comes from the company’s overall deal with Upside Down Pictures, the production company launched by “Stranger Things” creators Matt and Ross Duffer earlier this year.
The manga of the same name was written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata and published in 12 volumes between 2003 and 2006. The books follow Light Yagami, a teenage boy who finds the Death Note, a mysterious black notebook that gives him the power to kill anyone whose name and face he knows if he writes their name down. He struggles having such almighty power, and becomes the target of law enforcement around the world.
This is Netflix’s second adaptation of “Death Note.” The first was a live action film in 2017 that starred Nat Wolff as Light with other cast members including Lakeith Stanfield,...

Todd Field’s widely acclaimed Oscar hopeful “TÁR” takes on a rarified world rarely explored in movies: classical music. In the drama now in limited release, Cate Blanchett plays the Egot-minted conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic who idolizes Leonard Bernstein and is now recording Gustav Mahler’s fifth symphony in his vein. Except, she’s now in freefall, thanks to a blizzard of accusations from protégés and peers alike.
The movie may be divisive for its morally ambiguous take on a public figure and self-styled genius who unravels amid #MeToo-worthy allegations — when she’s not seemingly grooming an ingenue, she’s stomping over them, such as Noémie Merlant’s up-and-coming violinist-turned-assistant Francesca. But the movie now has one especially coveted imprimatur: that of Yo-Yo Ma, Grammy-winning cellist.

The trouble continues for The Devil in the White City. The Erik Larson book had its rights purchased back in 2010 by Oscar-winner Leonardo DiCaprio. Originally, it was meant for the actor to adapt it into a film; however, plans change all the time in Tinseltown, and Hulu purchased the series in 2019. It was ordered to series in August 2022. DiCaprio will no longer serve as the lead and is now an executive producer alongside Martin Scorsese (who was originally tapped as the director for the feature), Rick Yarn, Jennifer Davisson, Stacey Sher, Sam Shaw, and Mark Lafferty.

Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese is executive producing a “Gangs of New York” TV series after helming the 2002 feature film.
Based on Herbert Asbury’s 1927 nonfiction book, “The Gangs of New York” follows the rival gangs of late-1800s New York City. Scorsese is set to direct the first two episodes of the series, which was developed internally at Miramax TV and penned by playwright and TV writer Brett Leonard.
Per Deadline, the upcoming series will not center on the same characters as the film, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Cameron Diaz. Scorsese’s managers Rick Yorn and Chris Donnelly are also executive producing the upcoming show, which will be taken out to buyers in November.
Scorsese previously was attached to a 2013 TV adaptation of “The Gangs of New York,” which would have expanded the portrayal to gangs in other major metropolitan areas at the turn of the century,...

It was just a few days ago when it was revealed that Keanu Reeves had exited Hulu’s series adaptation of The Devil in the White City, and now Variety has reported that director Todd Field has followed the actor out the door.
Todd Field was set to serve as director and executive producer of The Devil in the White City. It’s not clear why Field exited the project, but this now leaves Hulu searching for both a new director and a new star for the series. The Devil in the White City tells the story of Daniel H. Burnham, “a visionary architect who sets out to mark history with the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, and Dr. H. Holmes, America’s first modern serial killer and the man behind the notorious “Murder Castle” that was built in the shadow of the Fair.”

It's looking a bit less likely that Hulu will be adapting Erik Larson's 2003 novel "The Devil in the White City," after all. Variety reports that the adaptation has lost its main director, Todd Field, mere days after Keanu Reeves left the project. What in tarnation is going on?
The answer to that question is still unknown. According to Variety's anonymous source, Hulu is now trying to recruit a new director for the buzzy series alongside a new lead actor. Reeves was slated to play Daniel H. Burnham, a real-life architect who gets caught up in the frantic energy of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair as a serial killer roams the nearby streets. Much like Field's sudden departure, it is unknown why the actor dropped out, although it is quite odd that both the lead and the show's director left the project around the same time.

After over a decade in development, it looked like Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese’s long-gestating television adaptation of Erik Larson’s “The Devil in the White City” was finally starting to take shape. The series, which had been in the works at Hulu since 2019, announced that Keanu Reeves was set to play legendary Chicago World’s Fair architect Daniel H. Burnham, with “TÁR” director Todd Field executive producing and directing all episodes.
But the project soon started falling apart, with Reeves exiting the series last week. Now, the project has been hit with another creative blow, as Variety first reported that Field has now dropped out as well. It would have marked the continuation of a triumphant comeback for Field, who has been receiving glowing reviews on the festival circuit for “TÁR,” his first feature film since 2006’s “Little Children.”

“Devil in the White City” director and executive producer Todd Field has exited the Hulu series, just days after star Keanu Reeves departed, TheWrap has learned. The project hails from EPs Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio.

In another blow to Hulu’s series adaptation of “The Devil in the White City,” Todd Field has exited the project on which he was to serve as director and executive producer, Variety has learned exclusively.
According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, the search is now on for a new director. News of Field’s departure from the show comes just days after Variety also exclusively reported that series star Keanu Reeves had bowed out as well.
Field most recently wrote and directed the Cate Blanchett-led drama feature “Tár,” which debuted at the 2022 Venice International Film Festival. The film received rave reviews upon its debut and is being touted as an early Oscar contender. In his review for Variety, Owen Gleiberman wrote, “The movie is breathtaking — in its drama, its high-crafted innovation, its vision. It’s a ruthless but intimate tale of art, lust, obsession, and power.

"The Devil in the White City" seems to have lost its architect in what might be the worst TV news we've heard in weeks. According to Variety, Keanu Reeves has exited the long-gestating adaptation of Erik Larson's popular book, where he was set to play real-life Chicago World's Fair designer Daniel H. Burnham. His turn as the historic architect would have marked Reeves' first live-action major American TV role.
The adaptation of "The Devil in the White City" has been plagued by changes and interruptions since it first began its path to production in 2010. Back then, Leonardo DiCaprio acquired the film rights to the book with plans to play serial killer H.H. Holmes – whose own story parallels Burnhams as the two both make their mark around the same time – in a film adaptation of the material. In 2015, Martin Scorsese boarded the project with plans to direct, but in 2021, news...

Variety has reported that Keanu Reeves has dropped out of The Devil in the White City, just two months after he first signed on to star in the Hulu limited series.
The Devil in the White City tells the story of Daniel H. Burnham, “a visionary architect who sets out to mark history with the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, and Dr. H. Holmes, America’s first modern serial killer and the man behind the notorious “Murder Castle” that was built in the shadow of the Fair.” In addition to starring in The Devil in the White City, Keanu Reeves was also set to executive produce the project. This would have marked Keanu Reeves’ first major role on U.S. TV, but it’s unclear at this time why he exited the series.

This past weekend I attended my first comic con since 2019. In fact it was my first visit to the London Comic Mart since 2017! The one thing I immediately noticed was my fingers were well out of practice at nimbly working my through the long boxes. The good news is that the event seemed rather busy and pretty much everyone was compliant in wearing masks. While it did seem busy, the floor space and number of vendors felt smaller than previous years. In my past visits to the comic mart it has been 95% vendors selling comics and trade paperbacks. Maybe there was one trading card vendor and a stall selling Heroclix a few times. All of that has seemed to change as this time there were two vendors of Funkos, one guy selling DVDs, another selling prints and even a vendor doing mystery bags. I always enjoyed the fact the mart...

Exclusive: Chernin Entertainment has won the rights to Erik Larson‘s audiobook original, No One Goes Alone, with plans to adapt as a feature film.
No One Goes Alone follows pioneering psychologist William James, a prominent member of the Society for Psychical Research, as he leads a team of researchers to the remote Isle of Dorn in 1905 to investigate the cause of several mysterious disappearances, most notably a family of four who vanished without a trace after a weeklong holiday on the island.
