Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson Wreak Havoc in Die My Love

Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson Wreak Havoc in Die My Love

Vogue19-05-2025
Cannes isn't Cannes without its big, bold misses. Last year's edition had them in spades: Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis, Jacques Audiard's Emilia Pérez, Paolo Sorrentino's Parthenope, and David Cronenberg's The Shrouds, to name but a few. This year, I'm sorry to report that one of them is Lynne Ramsay's breathlessly awaited Die My Love, a searing drama about a woman in the midst of a spectacular breakdown, which stars none other than Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, Sissy Spacek, and LaKeith Stanfield. Given Ramsay's distinctive, highly respected oeuvre—Ratcatcher, We Need to Talk About Kevin, You Were Never Really Here—and the caliber of these movie stars, on paper this seemed to be a prospective Palme d'Or frontrunner, before going onto Oscar glory. In reality, it isn't and shouldn't be.
We meet our two gorgeous leads, Grace (Lawrence) and Jackson (Pattinson), in the dilapidated farmhouse they now occupy. Two former New Yorkers with creative ambitions—she, to write a great American novel; he, to record an album—they have inherited it from Jackson's uncle, who recently passed away, and intend to put all of this new space to good use. They do—but not in the way they expected to. An electric, head-spinning montage zips us forward in time, as they dance together with reckless abandon and have desperate, hungry sex on the floor. Soon, Grace is pregnant, and then their son, Harry, is six months old, as she wonders what happened to them. Now, their previously wild, open, and limitless lives revolve around the baby, and they have begun to drift apart.
As that union erodes, Grace visits the distressed Pam (Spacek), Jackson's mother, who lives nearby and, since her own husband's death, can most often be found sleepwalking down a local highway, rifle in hand. Grace also develops a strange obsession with a biker (Stanfield) who stalks their house. Oh, and she's pushed further to the edge when Jackson brings home an excitable puppy, who barks all night while the baby cries and he continues to sleep soundly.
The conditions are in place for an explosive downward spiral: there are infidelities, followed by an attempt at reconciliation, and then everything goes awry once again in epic fashion.

‘Severance' star Tramell Tillman earns historic nomination

The post 'Severance' star Tramell Tillman earns historic nomination appeared first on ClutchPoints. Jackson State University alum and 'Severance' star Tramell Tillman has been nominated for an Emmy Award. Tillman is nominated for an Emmy in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category. If he wins, he will be the first Black actor to win in this category. Tillman portrays the stern and occasionally humorous Mr. Milchick in the Apple TV+ original series. He becomes a manager at the intriguing and dangerous Lumon Industries, which permits workers to split their brains, keeping their personal and professional memories and lives entirely apart, by implementing a novel and innovative practice known as severance. Earlier this year, 'Severance' paid homage to HBCU culture in its Season 2 finale. During the season, Tillman was contacted by the executive producer and director of the show regarding the marching band scene. Tillman said he used this scene to connect to his background as a two-time HBCU attendee. He studied pre-med at Xavier University of Louisiana prior to graduating from Jackson State. In an interview with TV Guide, Tillman discussed his time at Jackson State with the marching band. 'And the second [marching band performance] is a big nod to HBCU bands. I graduated from an HBCU, Jackson State University, and their band is the Sonic Boom of the South, the best marching band in the entire world. When I was a student at Jackson State University, I would marvel at the Boom, especially the agility and the endurance of the majorettes and the drum majors and the band as a whole. So this was my opportunity to live the fantasy of being a drum major at Jackson State University.' Tillman earned a bachelor's degree in mass communications from Jackson State in 2008. Years later, he graduated from the University of Tennessee with an MFA in acting. He spent more than ten years working in the charity sector before deciding to pursue acting full-time. Before securing his breakthrough role on 'Severance' in 2022, Tillman featured in a number of films, television series, and theatrical performances. This year, 'Severance' has 27 nominations in the Emmy awards.

TNA Wrestling riding momentum of WWE partnership into Slammiversary 2025

The timing couldn't have been more perfect for Carlos Silva. In February 2025, TNA Wrestling announced that Silva had taken over as president of the company. Normally when a new boss comes in, they are trying to reinvigorate the business, bringing a flair that will drive success. But Silva joined with TNA in the midst of its best run since the promotion's early days. A partnership with WWE, a WrestleMania moment, well-respected veterans and rising stars on the roster have boosted the brand's popularity. The continuous ride is heading toward the company's anniversary – Slammiversary 2025, taking place July 20 at UBS Arena on Long Island. There, seven matches will take place that showcase the best of TNA's roster, with some WWE stars also in the fold. TNA has spent so much time building toward this moment, and believes it will be another critical point in elevating the brand. 'This six-month build is going to have a nice crescendo, and just be a high point for the year, and then launch us into 2026 off of this high point,' Silva told USA TODAY Sports. What's made TNA Wrestling successful? Just looking at TNA itself, there's no denying the amount of talent on the roster. There's legends like Jeff and Matt Hardy still rocking, as well as established veterans in Nic Nemeth, Moose, Frankie Kazarian and the recently signed Indi Hartwell, to name a few. There's young stars like KC Navarro and Leon Slater, who have championship opportunities in front of them. And, of course, arguably the hottest stars in Joe Hendry and Mike Santana, who will compete for the TNA World Championship against current title-holder Trick Williams of NXT. It's the blend of well-known wrestlers and up-and-coming talent that makes TNA an intriguing product, Silva believes. 'We can develop talent that wants to come through the indies and then come into the major leagues with TNA, but yet we can also reinvigorate and give more life to talent that's maybe on the other end of their career,' Silva said. 'I think we can provide both the entry and the build of the excitement, as well as let the fans really enjoy these amazing legends that we've got.' The success of the WWE partnership It was Jan. 27, 2024 and Jordynne Grace knew the pressure was on her. She was going to be the surprise entrant in the women's Royal Rumble match, and as the TNA Knockouts World Champion, would be setting the tone for a potential partnership between the two brands. 'I kind of knew, this was me opening the door, and if I did well, it could carry on and continue to do well,' Grace said. 'But if I did bad and kind of like, it was blah, maybe it wouldn't.' But Grace knocked it out of the park. It was a success, and it kick-started the deal between WWE and TNA. After informally beginning in 2024, the two sides made their partnership official in January with a multi-year deal. Stars like Hendry have given Grace credit for making the partnership possible, and it also catapulted her career. She finished her time in TNA in January and she immediately signed with WWE full-time after several appearances with the brand. Now, she's in NXT and had a match at Evolution. She'll soon be in WWE 2K25, a 'surreal' moment for 'The Juggernaut.' Even though she's moved companies, she loves seeing TNA thrive. 'I'm just so happy that we're continuing to work and put a spotlight on TNA, because they absolutely deserve it. The wrestlers in there are some of the best in the world, and they haven't been getting enough eyes on them in the past decade or so,' she said. 'It's a special partnership, and I'm glad to have been the one to help create it.' Grace is just one example of how far talent can now go after the deal. There's no better example than Hendry. Thanks to his viral entrance song, Hendry elevated himself into a massively popular star. It led to him being in the 2025 Royal Rumble, and breaking barriers with a match at WrestleMania 41 as the TNA World Champion. Silva called the iconic moment the top one for TNA in the past year. Silva admitted there was some skepticism over whether the deal would benefit TNA and its stars, and the uncertainty lasted for a while. But now with proven results, both sides have fully bought in. 'I get a lot of smiles from the talent on their roster when they come to visit us, and we get a lot of excitement at getting into a bigger arena and being on a big (WWE) stage,' Silva said. 'I think everyone's enjoying working with each other and creating some great stories for the fans. 'So far, so good. I got no complaints.' TNA Wrestling readies for massive Slammiversary 2025 WWE will be at the forefront of Slammiversary with Williams currently the TNA champion. He shockingly won the title in May, and it took Silva some time to get used to seeing talent from a different company at the top of his. But Silva said Williams has been a great representative for both sides, drawing plenty of intrigue over how the reign will unfold. For Williams himself, it's brought out an extra layer of confidence in someone that already exudes it. He said 'success changes you,' and doing something historic – being a WWE star and holding another company's title – isn't lost on him. Barriers have been broken, and he wants to let everyone know whenever he arrives. 'This crossing brands, crossing networks, everybody in the world is gonna know Trick Williams,' he said. 'People keep trying to figure out all the background stuff. Forget all that. Trick Williams is the line. Don't cross me and you're gonna be all right.' .@Santana_Proud and @joehendry stand tall on the final #TNAiMPACT before #TNASlammiversary — but not without will leave Slammiversary as TNA World Champion? Find out THIS SUNDAY LIVE on PPV and TNA+!WATCH on TNA+: on YouTube:… The heat Williams has been able to generate – along with the hunger from Hendry to get his title back and Santana's dream to finally capture it – is what's helping build the main event match. Not only is it being promoted on TNA programming, but also on NXT. It's a match that could continue TNA's hot run. The promotion has seemingly worked. TNA said Slammiversary will be its most attended show in the past 10 years, and it's anticipating the largest U.S. crowd in company history. Silva is eager for more people to see all the talent the roster has to offer, from top to bottom. And he knows he can't let the momentum end there. As successful as 2025 has been, it has to elevate toward 2026 – especially with Silva reportedly shopping for a new media rights deal. 'We're going to do Slammiversary. We're going to have a huge success. Can be our biggest show ever,' Silva said. 'The next day we're going to sit, more to say, 'OK, now we're going to (Kingston) Rhode Island, and we've got to be great, and be great in Rhode Island.' 'That's very much our sort of sporting attitude that we're bringing to the organization, (and) I think the locker room and everyone is embracing that.'

Lookbook and 1GLH Announce Partnership on Carpathia Feature Film and Documentary

Lookbook has partnered with 1GLH on the Carpathia feature film and documentary, focusing on the ship's heroic rescue of Titanic survivors. Set for production in 2026, Lookbook is expanding into non-genre films with global talent and strategic partnerships. Cannes, France, July 18, 2025 -- Lookbook Partners with 1GLH on Carpathia Feature and Documentary Projects Newly formed Lookbook has partnered with NY-based capital group 1GLH across a variety of motion pictures. Lookbook has also finalized production and equity stakes in several high-profile projects, including the dramatic thriller Carpathia – the first feature to tell the daring story of the ship that saved the survivors of RMS Titanic – and its companion documentary feature about the deep-sea team making the first 3D mapping of the Carpathia's wreckage, from Croatia-based Pulsar Productions. The partners have begun the search for top-tier directors to helm both Carpathia projects, with anticipation of filming the documentary in June/July of 2026 and the feature in October/November 2026. Lookbook's Strategic Direction into Non-Genre Projects 'This broader direction into non-genre film and television will mean even greater mass appeal in all markets,' said Lookbook founder Juan Pablo Reinoso. 'I'm especially thrilled about the Carpathia projects. From both the commercial tie-in value with Titanic about to celebrate its 30th Anniversary and the exciting true story of what the Captain of the Carpathia had to endure just to even get the ship there, they could not be more timely.' Reinoso also co-founded Firebook Entertainment, a global acquisitions, sales, and distribution company that specializes in genre films. The Untold Story of Carpathia and Its Heroic Crew 'The three most frequently spoken words in the world are: God, Coca-Cola, and Titanic. Is it fair, though, to forget the Carpathia and its incredibly brave captain and crew, which saved over 700 lives from Titanic? We don't think so, and we know audiences will flock to finally see the true story of the tests the Carpathia had to endure to reach Titanic,' said Toni Kuran on behalf of Pulsar. Lookbook's Vision for the Future of Filmmaking 'Juan has always displayed a passion for non-genre projects, so launching Lookbook and turning his attention to those kinds of projects makes perfect sense and is a logical next step,' Firebook co-founder John Moss added. 'He'll bring the same eye for top-tier projects to Lookbook that he has since we started Firebook.' Strategic Partnerships for Talent and Global Collaborations Lookbook has also partnered with Keli Price of Price Productions to oversee talent as well as assist in strategic global partnerships. 'I share Lookbook's filmmaker-first outlook, as well as their dedication to embracing diversity both in front of and behind the camera, and I'm excited to come on board and help provide a truly transparent strategy for every film we make and every company we partner with,' Price added. Other Projects Picked Up by Lookbook at the Marché Other projects picked up by Lookbook at this year's Marché include action-crime-drama Father, Where Art Thou?, starring Michael Jai White; Whirlwind, a western drama-thriller from award-winning writer-director Juan Pablo Reinoso featuring Amy Tyger (Foundation); Kismet, a sci-fi drama from award-winning director Giovanna Molina; action-thriller Civilian, from acclaimed director John J. Budion (Rockaway) starring Jack Kesy (Hellboy: The Crooked Man), with Cory Thompson and his REWIND banner; Spanish-English dance-rom-com Junior for award-winning writer-director Ben Peyser; and No Other Love, based on the acclaimed YA novel, for Katisha Shaw of DTRM. Several other projects were finalizing agreements as of this writing. Lookbook is based in the USA, with roots throughout Europe, South & Central America, and Canada. About Lookbook Entertainment Lookbook is a global film production company with a focus on non-genre motion pictures. It partners with top-tier filmmakers and creatives to bring compelling, diverse stories to audiences worldwide. Lookbook combines expertise in both traditional cinema and emerging markets, ensuring a broad and inclusive approach to filmmaking.
