Elle and Dakota Fanning to Star in "The Nightingale" Film Adaptation, Sets 2027 Release Date
Yara Sameh TriStar has set a new February 12, 2027 release date for "The Nightingale," its highly anticipated feature adaptation of Kristin Hannah's global bestselling work of historical fiction. Gestating for some time, the project has regained traction for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic, enlisting "To Leslie" helmer Michael Morris to direct. Dakota and Elle Fanning are still set to star and produce, starring together on film for the first time, having first attached to the project in 2019. Dana Stevens (The Woman King) penned the script, and Elizabeth Cantillon will produce for The Cantillon Company, alongside the Fannings and Brittany Kahan Ward for Lewellen Pictures, and Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter for Hello Sunshine. Nicole Brown and Shary Shirazi are overseeing for TriStar Pictures. Sources attributed the February 12, 2027 date to the fact that it's a huge event weekend, with the double holiday of Valentine's Day that Sunday and President's Day on Monday. Sunday, February 14 is also Super Bowl Sunday, which presents an opportunity to counterprogram with a film that already has a substantial built-in fanbase. "The Nightingale" will also be the first big female-skewing title of the year as the schedule currently stands. Selling more than 11 million copies worldwide since its 2015 debut after being translated into 45 languages, "The Nightingale" tells the story of two sisters who dare to embark on separate, dangerous paths during World War II in the fight for survival, love and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France. The book hit No. 1 on the New York Times Best Sellers list and has spent a combined 165 weeks on the list across formats, also dominating NPR's fiction chart for 45 weeks and being named a Reese's Book Club Pick. In March 2025, a special 10th Anniversary Edition got to No. 2 on the NYT hardcover list, and already this year, the book has sold a million copies. "The Nightingale" has had a decently long journey to the screen, beginning with TriStar's move to lock down film rights in 2015, with Ann Peacock coming on to write and Cantillon to produce. (The latter has been with the project ever since.) Writer-director Michelle MacLaren and co-writer John Sayles attached to a later iteration, with the Fannings initially coming on to star in a version helmed by Mélanie Laurent from Stevens' script. Just when it looked like the project would get off the ground, the pandemic resulted in numerous delays, with Laurent stepping back to attend to other projects in the interim. A two-time Emmy nominee known for his directing on series like Better Call Saul, "13 Reasons Why" and "Kingdom", Morris directed Andrea Riseborough to her first Oscar nomination with his feature directorial debut, the indie drama "To Leslie". His follow-up project on the feature side was "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy", which enjoyed acclaim as well as international box office success, surpassing $100M globally while premiering on Peacock only in the U.S. Dakota Fanning will next be seen starring opposite Sarah Snook in Peacock's upcoming series "All Her Fault". Elle Fanning, meanwhile, is next set to appear in dual roles in Dan Trachtenberg's "Predator: Badlands", out November 7, and in a starring role alongside Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgard in Joachim Trier's "Sentimental Value", the winner of Cannes' "Grand Prix", which is out in limited release via Neon on the same day. 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 Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier 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 Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

Trump claims to have won another golf championship, his fifth this year, at his New Jersey club
The end of the golf season in South Florida does not mean the end of Donald Trump's claims on the course. The President has shifted his golf game from Trump International West Palm Beach to his course in Bedminster, N.J. Advertisement But the change in scenery apparently has not slowed down the 79-year-old when it comes to declaring himself a champion. Trump boasted on his Truth Social website on Sunday, July 13, that he won the member-member championship at Bedminster with partner Tommy Urciuoli. "In between meetings and phone calls, it was a Great Honor to win the Member-Member Championship, at Trump National, Bedminster (Gross, no strokes), with Tommy Urciuoli as my partner. The Many other competitors were not only great Golfers, but also terrific people!" Trump wrote. President Donald Trump waves to supporters who gathered across the street from his Trump International Golf Club to celebrate President's Day in West Palm Beach, Florida on February 17, 2025. Trump has worked diligently on his golf game since starting his second term. In the first 10 weeks since the Jan. 20 inauguration, Trump had at least eight golf outings to his courses in Palm Beach County, Florida. Advertisement And his boasts now have become legendary. Trump, who never loses an event at one of his tournaments, once said he won a club championship when he didn't play the first round, crowned himself winner of a Senior Club Championship when nobody saw him play and said he won an event at Bedminster shooting a 67 on a course in which LIV Golf held a tournament and of the 144 rounds, only six LIV golfers shot 67 or lower. Trump now is claiming five championships this year, including teaming with Finnish President Alexander Stubb to win the Men's Member-Guest tournament in late March at Trump International West Palm Beach. He also was declared the winner at the Senior Club Championship at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter one week later. In March, while posting he won the Club Championship at Trump International West Palm Beach, Trump added it would "probably" be his last. He's up to three more claims since then. Advertisement Trump was asked about his handicap in March while aboard Air Force One. "Very low," he said. "I've a very low handicap." That was after he announced he had won the Senior Club Championship at his course outside of West Palm Beach. "Very good," when asked how the golf tournament was. "Because I won. It's good to win. You heard I won, right? Did you hear I won? I like to win." In his 2023 post about carding a 67 at Bedminster, Trump said: "For some reason, I am just a good golfer/athlete − I have won many Club Championships, and it is always a great honor!"

Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow raise player safety alarm but NFL may have other plans for Super Bowl timing
Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow raise player safety alarm but NFL may have other plans for Super Bowl timing (Image Via X) Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is not happy with the NFL's plan to move to an 18-game regular season. He recently said he would only support it if players get more rest through an extra bye week. However, NFL analyst Mike Florio shared a different reason why the league might ignore Patrick Mahomes' suggestion. According to Mike Florio, the NFL wants the Super Bowl to land on President's Day weekend, which fits better with just one bye week. For the league, TV ratings may matter more than player health concerns. Mike Florio reveals why NFL wants Super Bowl to fall on President's Day weekend NFL insider Mike Florio spoke about the 18-game schedule debate on NBC's NFL show this week. He believes the league is already planning to move toward an 18-game season, but won't give in to Patrick Mahomes' idea of adding another bye week. The reason, according to Mike Florio, is that the NFL wants the Super Bowl to land exactly on President's Day weekend. That weekend usually gives fans a holiday Monday, and Mike Florio says it would boost viewership across the country. But if a second bye week is added, the Super Bowl would happen later than that weekend or the season would need to start on Labor Day weekend, which the NFL has avoided for years. Mike Florio said, 'It's inevitable there's going to be 18 games. More often than not, an 18-game season with one bye week lands on President's Day weekend. If you had a second bye, you overshoot it—or you've got to start too early.' Also Read: Patrick Mahomes Calls Fun And Trust The Real Strength Of The Kansas City Chiefs Under Andy Reid Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow ask for more rest but NFL stays firm Patrick Mahomes, in a CNBC interview this week, said he isn't comfortable with the idea of an 18-game schedule unless the league adds an extra bye. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo He stressed that the players' health must come first. 'I'm not a big fan of it,' he said. 'You've got to add bye weeks to give more time for guys' bodies to heal.' Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow also supported Patrick Mahomes' thoughts, saying a second bye would make sense to protect athletes from late-season injuries. Still, the NFL seems focused on scheduling, not player safety, as it looks ahead to big ratings and a President's Day Super Bowl.

Patrick Mahomes: "I'm not a big fan" of 18 games
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the face of the NFL. He's not the face of the NFL's push for an inevitable 18th regular-season game. In an interview with CNBC Sport, Mahomes addressed the topic of another game that counts. 'I think that you'd have to find a way to have more bye weeks, more time spread out,' Mahomes told Alex Sherman of CNBC. 'Because, I mean, you've seen the amount of injuries that have kind of piled up there at the end of seasons, and you want to have the best players playing in the biggest games. And so if there were a way to get to 18 games, I'm not — I'm not a big fan of it. But if there were a way, I think you got to add some bye weeks in there to give more time for guys' bodies.' Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow previously has argued that, if there's another regular-season game, there should be a second bye. A second bye makes a ton of sense. Yes, the network hated the two-bye season of 1993, because it diluted the number of week-in and week-out games. But there are six more franchises now than there were then. The other problem is scheduling. The league justifies an 18th game in part by pointing to the reality of a Super Bowl on President's Day Weekend. Adding an extra bye will result in the Super Bowl overshooting President's Day — unless the NFL is willing to revert to the days of Week 1 on Labor Day Weekend. (And maybe it should.) However it plays out, an 18th game is coming. The only question left is whether the NFL Players Association agrees to it before the 2030 season, or whether the NFL has to lock them out until they inevitably take the best deal on the table before missing game checks in 2031.

‘Free America' anti-Trump protests planned on Fourth of July weekend
The Women's March is organizing protests across the country on the Fourth of July in a push to 'Free America' from President Trump and his billionaire allies. The group has listed some 150 gatherings in Washington, New York, Maryland, Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida, Massachusetts and dozens of other states on its website. 'They want us scared, divided, and alone. They don't want us to dream about freedom. But that's exactly what we have to do,' organizers wrote in a statement on their website. 'This Fourth of July, we will be in the streets with songs of freedom and joy. The dream of American freedom belongs to all of us, and we will not stop in our pursuit of its promise, now or ever,' they added. The Women's March said their goal is to free America from the grip of billionaires who rig the system for their own benefit, and to invest instead in ending poverty. 'Everyone should be able to afford food, rent, health care, and a decent life,' the statement said. Their demonstrations follow nationwide mass demonstrations on June 14 hosted by the umbrella group No Kings organization on Flag Day, coinciding with Trump's birthday and an Army parade in Washington. Another group, the 50501 movement, organized protests on President's Day in February and again in April. The organization's title represents 50 protests in 50 states and one movement. Protestors represent rising frustration with Trump over deportation sweeps, volatile tariff policies and deep cuts to the social safety net in his 'big, beautiful bill,' which Republicans hope to send to the president by July 4. Trump responded to the last day of protests by saying he doesn't feel like a king. 'A king would say, 'I'm not going to get this.' A king would have never had the California mandate to even be talking, he wouldn't have to call up [Speaker] Mike Johnson and [Senate Majority Leader John] Thune and say, 'fellas you got to pull this off' and after years we get it done,' he told reporters last month. 'No, no we're not a king. We're not a king at all.'
