‘I Saw the TV Glow’ Director Jane Schoenbrun Says ‘Queer People Just Need to Be Living’ Under Trump Admin, Justice Smith Proclaims ‘We’re F—ed’

Schoenbrun expressed to Marc Malkin of EbMaster during the Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica, Calif., on Sunday that he hopes his work as a director won’t undergo significant changes.

Colin Farrell Is in ‘No Rush’ to Do ‘The Penguin’ Season 2: ‘I Have No Deep Desire to Do It’

He made it clear to me backstage at the SAG Awards that he’s not eager for another go. He said, ‘I don’t want it, I don’t _not_ want it,’ emphasizing that they all gave their best in those eight hours.

If a new idea comes along that fits well with Matt Reeves’ cinematic universe and is worth pursuing, he’d consider it, but for now, it’s not on his mind.

Timothée Chalamet Wants to ‘Be One of the Greats’ — And He Was Right to Say It

During the climax of Timothée Chalamet’s Oscar pursuit, set to reach its peak at this weekend’s awards, he’s taken a serious approach. In true Chalamet fashion, though: When discussing his role choices on “60 Minutes,” he likened himself to Daniel Day-Lewis in an Instagram-esque manner.
