THE BIG READS
In a bold move which signals considerable ambition, Lily Allen, 38, will play the lead in a new adaptation of Ibsen's play titled Hedda, by British director Matthew Dunster.

MOVIE, TV, MUSIC & FASHION NEWS
FILM
As a celebration of stunts and those who fearlessly perform them, The Fall Guy can't be faulted though it's never quite up there with the Mission: Impossible movies.
Even in my many years as a sports writer, I never knew there was a women's football World Cup in 1971 against Mexico and Denmark.
BRIAN VINER: The complaint that there's 'nothing worth going to the cinema for' is one I hear a lot, and it's often hard to argue with, but it holds no water at all this week
BRIAN VINER: The Italian director Luca Guadagnino certainly can't be accused of making boring films. His last, 2022's Bones And All, was about cannibalistic serial killers.
It's the wisest choice in a film that makes a hundred bad ones, among them its decision to portray Fielder-Civil as saintly in the first place.
Dev Patel is the writer, director, co-producer and star of Monkey Man, a revenge thriller set in a fictional Indian city seething with sectarian hatred.
