-This is a great interview with Joe Wright on Cyrano and how The Woman In The Window ended up being far removed from what his original vision was. “The film that was finally released was not the film that I originally made. I was like, ‘Oh, fucking hell. You live and you learn.’ It got watered down…There’s a great scene where she had sex with the bloke downstairs and stuff like that. It was very different.”

Kristen Stewart Talks Tacos and Wedding Plans

-In a new interview with the LA Times, Kristen Stewart describes her perfect day in Los Angeles (“I would just go have tacos all day. I wouldn’t eat anywhere that isn’t a stand or a truck. Like, I would wait for it to get really late, take you to the Valley, skate around and get really hungry and then find a taco truck that stays open all night. Because tacos taste different at that hour…even if you’re not wasted”), and talks about her fiancée, screenwriter Dylan Meyer (“The fact that I’ve already said, ‘Hey, let’s get married’ and that we have rings and stuff … we’re kind of already done”).

–Zoë Kravitz covers the March issue of ELLE to promote The Batman and talks about stepping away from Instagram after getting criticism for wearing a sheer dress to the MET Gala. “The fact that I’m like, ‘Should I have not worn that?’ No, I do what I want to do, and I make what I want to make, and if I’m now starting to be afraid of what other people are going to say or think, I’m no longer doing my job as an artist.

-Meanwhile, Maude Apatow and Austin Abrams describe the making of that epic dance number from the latest episode.

Vanity Fair’s Hollywood Issue Made Some Choices

vanity fair hollywood issue - 8 covers

-The Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue came out today and everyone’s dunking on Nicole Kidman’s cover, but I dunno. It’s overly photoshopped but if I look like anything even remotely that when I’m 54 I’ll weep with joy. Personally, I have more questions about Benedict Cumberbatch‘s milk bath with swans.

-There’s also a cute video in which the 8 cover subjects answer 8 questions about their careers.

-Also in the issue, Kristen Stewart talks about working on a TV show with her screenwriter fiancée Dylan Meyer: “We discovered a superbrain.”

-In the new issue of Interview, Alexander Skarsgård talks to Kirsten Dunst about his role in the new viking saga The Northman.

-Oh, this is rich. When asked about Taylor Swift‘s new version of “Red” in his Esquire profile, Jake Gyllenhaal said he hasn’t listened to it but added, “That begs for a deeper philosophical question. Not about any individual, per se, but a conversation that allows us to examine how we can—or should, even—take responsibility for what we put into the world, our contributions into the world. How do we provoke a conversation? We see that in politics. There’s anger and divisiveness, and it’s literally life-threatening in the extreme.” Sir, she wrote about her dad comforting her when you skipped her birthday party. If you want to talk about taking responsibility for what we put out in the world, let’s chat about the nightmares I had after watching Nightcrawler, mmm-ok?

-FX has renewed Dave for a third season. I love that little weirdo of a show.

–This interview with HBO/Max’s Casey Bloys is good, mostly because he says he’s not just interested in doing reboots (despite there being talk of Six Feet Under and True Blood revivals). “I just want to point out that if you look at the last year, between Mare of Easttown, The White Lotus and Succession and Insecure and now Euphoria and Gilded Age and going into Winning Time, there’s no reboots. In most those cases, they weren’t based on existing IP. I do want to take a moment to make clear that we don’t spend our days thinking about what to reboot because it’s a tricky business bringing a show back.”

-Here’s the trailer for Lizzo’s dance competition series, which looks delightful!
