Netflix’s Spanish-language musical Emilia Pérez has become one of a only a handful of predominantly non-English-language films ever to make the top 10 films list released by the American Film Institute annually since 2001 as part of the AFI Awards. It follows 2004’s Spanish-language Maria Full of Grace and 2007’s French-language The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

AFI’s eligibility rules declare, “Stories need not be presented in the English language if incontrovertibly American,” meaning that they include “significant creative and/or production elements from the United States,” which, in this case, presumably means American-born actresses Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez.

Partially non-English titles that have made the list in years past include 2006’s Letters from Iwo Jima, 2019’s The Farewell, 2020’s Minari and 2023’s Past Lives. Fully non-English titles have occasionally been given special awards, as was the case for 2011’s The Artist, 2018’s Roma and 2019’s Parasite.

Across social media platforms, Real Housewives Of Atlanta fans are closely watching and discussing a mysterious rumor, one which claims a project possibly titled Real Housewives Of Atlanta: Ex Wives Club is potentially in the works.

In fact, the Rhoa: Ex Wives Club rumor is so well-entrenched it has already spawned rumors related to it about purported conflicts among putative cast members.

It's no secret that the Real Housewives franchise is in a bit of a strange place right now — perhaps even to the point where the reality TV mainstay is stagnating.

Even putting aside the lawsuit filed by former Real Housewives Of New York star Leah McSweeney or Andy Cohen's admission that his fear of being canceled over unspecified transgressions keeps him up at night, Bravo has struggled with audience engagement and interest.

In the past month or so alone, tidbits concerning the chaotic state of the Real...

With 1923 coming back for a second season, it's very possible that Spencer Dutton's death could be a storyline, and actor Brandon Skenlar has some insight into how it could happen. Set in the universe created by Taylor Sheridan, 1923 is the second Yellowstone prequel spinoff, and depicts the trials and tribulations of the Dutton family in the titular year. At the center of it all are Jacob (Harrison Ford) and Cara Dutton (Helen Mirren), who maintain their family homestead in Prohibition-era Montana as the Great Depression looms large.

Jacob and Cara have no children, but raised their orphaned nephews, John Sr. (James Badge Dale) and Spencer (Brandon Skenlar) as their own. While John Sr. dies a tragic death in 1923 season 1, Spencer is living abroad, working as a big-game hunter in Africa. Most of Spencer's storyline is about his romance with Alexandra (Julia Schalepfer), a high-society British woman he meets on his travels.

A TV series made entirely by generative AI is only three-to-five years away, according to the director of hits including Slow Horses and Anthony Hopkins movie One Life.

Maybe it won’t be as polished as we are used to but that is how close we are getting.”

Launching in the first year of the pandemic in 2020, Taiwan Creative Content Fest (Tccf) has taken a few years to secure its positioning in the global film markets calendar, but this year’s edition is on track to be its biggest and most international yet.

The event, which runs November 7-12 at Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in Taipei, is divided into three sections – Pitching, which has opened to international projects for the first time (see separate story for more details); Market, which has been extended from three to four days and has around 100 companies attending; and Innovation, which explores the intersection between content and technology.

Taiwan’s content industries suffered less than some of their neighbours during the pandemic, as being an island, the borders could be quickly closed, limiting the spread of Covid-19. For most of the past three years, shooting on film and TV projects has continued and cinemas remained open.

Here’s a look at this week’s biggest premieres, parties and openings in Los Angeles and New York, including events for AFI Fest, The Holdovers, Quiz Lady and The Killer.

Almost no one can put away drinks like the debaucherous gang from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," but legendary baseball player Wade Boggs would give them a run for their money. In the season 10 premiere, the dive bar owners hop on a cross-country flight to tackle Boggs' record of 70 beers in transit. The actual number is disputed — Boggs himself claims it's even higher than legend would have us believe — but the episode's premise remains hilarious.

"[Boggs] was famous for baseball, he was also famous for the amount of beer he could drink," series co-creator and star Charlie Day explained to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show when the episode first aired. "Supposedly, when they would have these cross-country flights, he would drink on average 40 to 50, some say 70 beers. So our characters are trying to break that record in the episode ... and then see if we can hit a baseball the next day,...
