Taylor Russell Exits "The Thomas Crown Affair" Remake
Taylor Russell will no longer be involved in Amazon MGM Studios' reimagining of 'The Thomas Crown Affair,' where she was set to star opposite Michael B. Jordan.
Production on the movie, directed by Jordan, is underway in London.
Russell had dropped from the movie due to creative differences, and the studio will be recasting her role as progress continues toward the film's March 5, 2027 theatrical release date.
'The Thomas Crown Affair' also stars Kenneth Branagh, Lily Gladstone, Danai Gurira, Pilou Asbæk and Aiysha Hart.
Drew Pearce wrote the script, with plot details being kept under wraps, following a previous draft written by Wes Tooke and Justin Britt-Gibson, which was based on the original film.
Jordan and Elizabeth Raposo are producing the picture for Outlier Society, alongside Charles Roven via Atlas Entertainment. Patrick McCormick and Toberoff Productions' Marc Toberoff also serve as producers.
Alan Trustman (writer of the original 1968 film starring Steve McQueen) is an executive producer.
Russell is best known for her standout turns in Trey Edward Shults' A24 feature 'Waves,' for which she won the breakthrough actor award at the Gotham Awards, and Luca Guadagnino's 'Bones and All,' which earned her the emerging actress prize at the Venice Film Festival and nominations from the Gothams and Independent Spirit Awards.
Russell will be seen next in the Korean thriller 'Hope' by Na Hong-jin, opposite Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander and Hoyeon; starring in Frank Ocean's upcoming film opposite David Jonnson; and in talks for a remake of 'Single White Female' with Jenna Ortega for Sony.
She recently made her stage debut in director Jamie Lloyd's critically acclaimed revival of Lucy Prebble's play, 'The Effect,' which had a run in London and New York.
Russell made her directorial debut with the short documentary 'The Heart Still Hums,' which she co-directed and won best documentary short at the Palm Springs International ShortFest.

Lotfy Labib Discharged from Hospital
Yara Sameh Veteran Egyptian actor Lotfy Labib was discharged from the hospital on Friday after his health improved. Father Boutros Daniel, director of the Catholic Centre for Cinema in Egypt, has shared an update on social media about the actor's health. "Thank God for the safety of the great and wonderful actor Lotfy Labib. We visited him at his home with the respectful actor Hamza El Eily," Father Daniel said. "He extends his thanks, appreciation and gratitude to his fans and loved ones for asking about him and praying for him." On July 13, Labib was admitted to the intensive care (ICU) after suffering a health scare. Born on August 18, 1947, Labib is an Egyptian stage, television, and film actor. The acclaimed actor has worked profusely, in many supporting but memorable roles, with over 200 film and television credits. Through many of his screen appearances, the veteran actor has performed admirably and has shown himself to be one of the strongest performers of his generation. On March 29, Labib announced his retirement from acting due to his health condition. "In my current health condition, if I get a role, I won't be able to play it because I prefer that my image remains as it was to the fans," he said. He made his final onscreen appearance in the 2024 film 'Ana W Ibn Khalti' ("Me and My Cousin"). Hanady Mehanna, Bayoumi Fouad, Sayed Ragab, Mimi Gamal, Sara Abdelrahman, Ali Loka, and Enaam Salousa round out the cast. Ahmed Saleh directed from a script by Doaa Abdel Wahab and Amr Abu Zeid. The official logline for the film states, 'Engage in the traditional, age-old rivalry through several comedic situations to prove who's better, only to discover in the end that the real victory is family and that everyone is best loved by those around them.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

"Practical Magic 2" Begins Production
Yara Sameh Production has begun on "Practical Magic 2", Warner Bros. Pictures' sequel to the 1998 romantic fantasy starring Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock. Kidman posted a video on her Instagram Friday of herself and Bullock filming on their first day on the set of the follow-up. In the video, Kidman is seen embracing Bullock as they stand in front of a headstone at a cemetery. "The witches are back ✨ Owens sisters' first day on set!" she captioned the post. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nicole Kidman (@nicolekidman) Bullock and Kidman are reprising their roles as sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, who descend from a long line of witches. In the 1998 original, based on the novel by Alice Hoffman, the two witches find themselves fighting off a curse that kills the men they fall in love with. While the plot details for the second film have not been disclosed, the story is reportedly based on a later installment in Hoffman's 'Practical Magic' book series. Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing will reprise their roles as Aunt Jet and Aunt Frances 'Fran' Owens, respectively. Additional cast members include Lee Pace ('Bodies Bodies Bodies'), Joey King ('The Act'), Maisie Williams ('Game of Thrones'), Xolo Maridueña ('Blue Beetle'), and Solly McLeod ('The Dead Don't Hurt'). Susanne Bier ('Bird Box') is directing from a screenplay co-written by Akiva Goldsman, who also co-wrote the original, and Georgia Pritchett ('Succession'). Earlier this year, Kidman told Variety that she and Bullock were already thinking about a follow-up when they shot the first film. 'When we were making it, we definitely did,' Kidman said. 'We're so excited. Yes, yes, beyond excited. You heard our spell. We put out our spell already.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language
