Watch 'Conclave.' How to view the 2024 movie about the pope selection
The strictly secretive voting process to select the pope was enshrined in last year's award-winning thriller "Conclave."
The fictional depiction of the events is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
"Conclave" is a period drama revolving around the Vatican. In particular, the film follows Cardinal Thomas Lawrence, played by Ralph Fiennes, as he participates in one of society's oldest and most secretive events: the selection of a new pope. As Cardinal Lawrence organizes a group of cardinals tasked with the selection, he ends up uncovering secrets and scandals of the Roman Catholic Church.
The movie is based on the 2016 book "Conclave," written by Robert Harris, and earned an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. You can decide how accurate you think the movie "Conclave" is, but it might at least help you understand what's taking place in international headlines this week.

Jamie Lee Curtis has thoughts about the harm done to ‘a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex'
Jamie Lee Curtis understands that using the word 'genocide' to describe plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures might not go over well for some, but she's not backing down. 'I've been very vocal about the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex,' the actress told The Guardian in a recently published interview. 'I've used that word for a long time and I use it specifically because it's a strong word. I believe that we have wiped out a generation or two of natural human (appearance).' The 'Freakier Friday' star caused a stir years ago when she posed for a magazine cover in her underwear and no makeup to show the reality of what she looked like at the time. Now 66, Curtis told The Guardian that 'the concept that you can alter the way you look through chemicals, surgical procedures, fillers – there's a disfigurement of generations of predominantly women who are altering their appearances.' She added that the trend 'is aided and abetted by AI, because now the filter face is what people want.' 'I'm not filtered right now. The minute I lay a filter on and you see the before and after, it's hard not to go: 'Oh, well that looks better.' But what's better?,' the Oscar-winner continued. 'Better is fake. And there are too many examples – I will not name them – but very recently we have had a big onslaught through media, many of those people.' Elsewhere in the interview, Curtis described how she would respond to other public-facing personalities in her business that may have indeed had plastic surgery, saying, 'It doesn't matter.' 'I'm not proselytising to them. I would never say a word,' she said. 'I would never say to someone: what have you done? All I know is that it is a never-ending cycle. That, I know. Once you start, you can't stop. But it's not my job to give my opinion; it's none of my business.' This is far from the first time Curtis has commented on what it means to age in Hollywood. During a 2024 appearance on 'Today,' the star said she was 'very much in acceptance of what I look like and I own what I think and feel. And that, to me, is what maturity is.' 'You own what you think and feel. I say what I mean. I mean what I say. I try not to say it mean. And that's a way then to grow into my old age.'

Sequel to Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz's beloved 90s rom-com ‘My Best Friend's Wedding' announced
An Oscar-nominated director has been hired to pen a sequel to classic '90s rom-com 'My Best Friend's Wedding.' The original film, starring Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts, became a box office success upon its release in 1997. The movie has since gone on to be considered one of the most iconic films within its genre. It featured Roberts and Dermot Mulroney as Julianne and Michael, a pair of best friends who made a pact that if they were still single at age 28, they would get married. When Mulroney's character gets engaged to another women, played by Diaz, Roberts had just four days to stop the wedding. Director Celine Song, best known for her Oscar nominated romantic drama Past Lives, has been hired by Sony to write the script for the sequel. Song had another hit this year with follow-up The Materialists starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. 'My Best Friend's Wedding' premiered in 1997. Official news of a sequel to 'My Best Friend's Wedding' comes shortly after Mulroney revealed that 'there is talk of a sequel' during an interview with the New York Post. When asked about the potential for a follow-up, he said: 'I know nothing about it. Last I heard, quote, lawyers were talking, unquote.' The original was a big hit when it was released, earning $127 million in the US and three Golden Globe nominations in best musical and comedy, as well as acting nods for Roberts and Rupert Everett. Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts starred in the box office hit. It comes after it was announced that yet another classic movie is getting a sequel after more than two decades. Bend It Like Beckham director Gurinder Chadha has confirmed she is working on a sequel to the hit 2002 film, which starred Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra. It will be released in 2027 in honour of Bend It Like Beckham's 25th anniversary and also to coincide with the FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil. Chadha told the BBC she'd received requests for a follow-up 'almost twice a week' since the release of the original, which was made on a $7.2 million budget and became a box office hit, making around $120 million worldwide. 'We've been part of changing the game for women, so it felt like this was a good time for me to go back and investigate the characters,' she explained. It's not yet clear whether the new instalment will be a film or TV series, but Chadha said she hoped to reunite some of the original cast members.

Why original ‘Naked Gun' director says he won't watch reboot
(NEXSTAR) — This weekend, the wacky world of Lt. Frank Drebin and his 'Police Squad,' returns to theaters for the first time in 31 years. Directed by Akiva Schaffer ('Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping'), 'The Naked Gun' (2025) reboots the series with Oscar nominee Liam Neeson as its new star, playing Drebin's (the late Leslie Nielsen's) son. While early reactions to 'The Naked Gun' have been positive, there's one person who won't be reviewing the film anytime soon: David Zucker, who directed the franchise's first two movies and who wrote/produced the third. 8 classic '80s sitcoms and where to stream them Zucker (who's also known for directing 'Airplane!' and 'Scary Movie' franchise films) told TMZ back in April that he'd watched the trailer for the new film and was disappointed — both because he didn't like it and because he hadn't been consulted for the reboot. 'I never saw 'Airplane 2' because you can't unsee that stuff. I'm not planning on seeing the 'Naked Gun' remake either,' Zucker told TMZ. 'I regret having seen the trailer for it.' Zucker, 77, also negatively compared the trailer for the new film to seeing a notorious 2007 viral pornographic video starring two girls and a beverage container. 'I can't unsee it,' Zucker elaborated. According to Zucker, he and his team submitted a script to Paramount in 2018 that he says they were told the studio liked. Zucker says he was later shocked that the property had been greenlit for a different creative team. Once the film was in production, Zucker said he was offered a producer credit on the film but rejected it based on the script. Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad controversy explained 'I read the script and I politely told them I wasn't going to put my name on it,' Zucker told the Hollywood Reporter. 'They wanted nothing from me except my name. They assume I'm old and using a walker and I can't do it anymore. I guess talent leaves after age 40 in Hollywood.' Zucker also told THR in a different interview in May that he had doubts about the casting of Neeson, saying, 'Everybody thinks that they can do it, do spoof. It's really, really specific.' Production drama aside, 'The Naked Gun' has plenty of anticipation behind it. In addition to Neeson, pop culture icon Pamela Anderson also joins as the film's female lead. Anderson, 58, received rave reviews last year for her return to the big screen in Gia Coppola's 'The Last Showgirl.' 'The Naked Gun' opens nationwide August 1. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
