Sarah Snook Doesn't Know How Cate Blanchett Would Turn 'Picture Of Dorian Gray' Into A Film, But Would Love To Help Her Try
That's the aim of Cate Blanchett's Dirty Pictures, as Deadline was the first to report in 2024. The vision of the current stage adaptation of Oscar Wilde's novel sees her playing 26 different roles in a highly stylized production, which took London by storm before heading to Broadway.

Asked for the latest on the Blanchett-backed film adaptation during an appearance in the Tonys media room Sunday, Snook replied, 'I have as much idea as you do about where that is.'
She continued, 'I don't know how this gets turned into a film. It's a particularly complex piece to do as a theater show. I mean, dramaturgically it holds up and I think Kip [Williams, the show's director] would be an incredible director for that project.
If she were able to take part in the film version, Snook added, 'it would be a dream come true, but who knows?'
The Succession alum was asked about the theater accomplishments of its cast and creative team since the series wrapped its HBO run in 2023.
'It's such a special group chat,' she said. 'We're all big theater nerds deep down. It's been really nice to have that revealed and shared with each other.'
The ritual of being a Tony nominee, and now winner, was a new experience for Snook. 'I didn't even know Tony season even existed!' she laughed. 'You end up seeing all of the people who are nominated with you for other shows. … It's really nice because you get to meet the person who is creating art at the same time as you are.'

Top Sushi Arrives in London, Courtesy of the Team Behind Dorian
Notting Hill keeps giving London diners reasons to come back and feast. The neighborhood, internationally famous for its annual carnival, Portobello Road antiques market and that eponymous movie, has more recently become known as one of the city's top dining areas. That's thanks to a slew of openings including, most recently, the country-stylish Fat Badger pub and Jackson Boxer's neighborhood spot, Dove. One of the early attention-grabbing restaurants among this latest wave is Dorian; its reputation for modern bistro-forward fare and an expansive wine list has morphed into a zeitgeist-defining, perennially packed Beckham hangout. Now, the duo behind Dorian, Chris D'Sylva and chef Max Coen, are following a different formula. Their newest spot is Eel Sushi Bar, located right across the street from their starry freewheeling bistro. The 12-seat counter (with six more spots outdoors) is using a high turnover formula— seatings are one hour—to accommodate both reservations and walk-ins from noon until 10 p.m. And the restaurant is already filling a sizeable gap in London's mid price sushi scene.

28 Years Later's Teen Star Names 1 Scene That 'Creeped Me Out' During Filming
28 Years Later's young lead Alfie Williams has opened up about the scene from the movie that was most unsettling to film. Alfie was just 13 when he shot 28 Years Later and its upcoming sequel The Bone Temple, and as a result, several allowances had to be made on set to protect him from the films' grisly content. During a conversation with Interview magazine, Alfie was asked if he was 'grossed out' on set, to which he insisted: 'You get used to the infected pretty quick. I think it took a couple of days and then you could kind of ignore it and it was fine after that.' However, he did say there was one scene that 'creeped me out', involving an 'infected' woman who gave birth on a train. 'It creeped [me] out, but it was beautiful at the same time to see how they're infected, but they're still like us, because they were once humans,' he claimed. 'But I think Danny knew I was mature enough to see things like that. They did try and keep [me] away from it, but they were fine with [me] seeing stuff like that.' It was previously revealed that, because of Alfie's age, any nudity in the film – most notably from the 'Alphas' – had to be achieved through the use of prosthetics. 28 Years' Later's intimacy coordinator Vanessa Coffey recently gave an interview with Variety about how the set had to adapt due to Alfie's age. Vanessa was specifically asked about the birth scene, explaining: 'That was part of the conversation. It was like, which bits does [Alfie] need to see, which bits does he have to watch and which bits can we keep him out of the way. 'But it was an incredible prosthetic that was created for that scene. We had spoken through unmedicated births and what that would look or feel like, just to make it really raw and really realistic. So having a young person witness that – we were really careful about how the conversations were managed.' Filmmaker Danny Boyle has made no secret of his hopes that 28 Years Later will begin a new big-screen trilogy, the second instalment of which is already slated for release next year. 17 Behind-The-Scenes Secrets You Probably Didn't Know About How 28 Years Later Was Made 28 Years Later Viewers Are Still In Shock From That Teletubbies Callback In The Wild Final Scene 28 Years Later 'Alpha' Chi Lewis-Parry Answers Everyone's 1 Big Question About The Film

5 Musicians on Why Ozzy Osbourne Is Genuine Metal Royalty
Ozzy Osbourne has persisted for so long in pop culture, and re-emerged in so many different guises — including fiendish hard-rock ringleader and bewildered Beverly Hills dad — that it's easy to lose sight of the core of his fame. His bone-chilling work with Black Sabbath in the '70s up through his surprisingly nuanced solo material in the '80s and beyond have helped define the sound and persona of the heavy-metal frontman. Despite a pair of well-received recent albums, Osbourne performances have been scarce in recent years, as he has battled health issues including Parkinson's disease and emphysema. On Saturday, at a daylong event in his Birmingham, England hometown, the 76-year-old musician will appear both solo and with his original Black Sabbath bandmates — the guitarist Tony Iommi; the bassist Terence Butler, known as Geezer; and the drummer Bill Ward — at what's being billed as his last-ever concert. The lineup for the event — dreamed up by Sharon Osbourne, his wife and manager — reads like a roll call of some of the biggest names in metal and hard rock, including Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Slayer and Tool. Its musical director is Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello. 'I can tell you that if we weren't invited to play, I would find a way to be there anyway, even if I had to sneak in under the fence line,' the Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich said. 'I think it's pretty safe to say that if there was no Black Sabbath, there would be no Metallica.' Ulrich's sense of debt to Osbourne is widely shared, both in the worlds of heavy guitar-based music and far beyond. 'Ozzy is one of the most remarkable singers and performers of our time,' Elton John, who was a guest on Osbourne's 2020 album, 'Ordinary Man,' wrote in an email. 'He has an amazing voice and has done so much for metal.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
