Chilean Drama 'The Mysterious Gaze Of The Flamingo' Wins Top Un Certain Regard Prize - Cannes
• Mutt Moment — for the year's best scene-stealer — went to the British Un Certain Regard film Pillion for its long-haired Dachshund Hippo and Rottweiler Rosie.
• The Grand Jury prize went to the two dogs in Oliver Laxe's apocalyptic road movie Sirât.
• The inaugural Four-Legged Fellowship went to Alejandro González Iñárritu's Amores Perros, screening in Cannes Classics.
Pillion director Harry Lighton was unable to attend, but sent a message saying, 'I'd like to thank the jury for recognizing the nuance, complexity and raw sex appeal in Hippo's 'performance. I hesitate to use that word. Hippo doesn't perform, she inhabits, and while Harry and Alexander do solid work, it's Hippo who carries the film on her little legs… This award is for every small dog out there with big dreams.'
Sad news came from Sirât star Jade Oukid, who revealed that Pipa, the dog in the film, was actually her own, and had passed away after the shoot. However, director Laxe kindly added that, thanks to the power of cinema, Oukid's dog had become 'eternal'.
And in a move so new that disorganizer Toby Rose forgot to mention it on the Palm Dog press release, this year also saw the inauguration of a brand new award, The Four-Legged Fellowship. This went to the team behind Alejandro González Iñárritu's Amores Perros (2000), which, like the Palm Dog, celebrated a quarter of a century at the festival this year and is about to get a shiny new re-release courtesy of Mubi.
Iñárritu was a bit too tied up, shooting Tom Cruise in London, to attend, but producer Martha Sosa sent a message saying, 'We are truly honoured to receive this recognition from the Palm Dog Awards, for the beloved canine stars of Amores Perros, who are sadly no longer with us. This year marks a significant double celebration: the 25th anniversary of your awards and 25 years since the premiere of Amores Perros at Cannes. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Palm Dog Awards team from all of us.'

Channel 4 Content Boss Joins Heated ‘Adolescence' Debate & Calls Out Netflix For Not Doing Spotlight Session At Edinburgh TV Festival
Channel 4 content boss Ian Katz has joined the Adolescence debate sparked this morning at the Edinburgh TV Festival and called out Netflix for not hosting a Spotlight Session at the fest. While noting 'we love Netflix' as a platform, Katz swung in behind his news chief Louisa Compton, who earlier today said that Netflix behaved like 'TV tourists' over Adolescence after Channel 4 had spent decades giving opportunities to Adolescence co-creators Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham. More from Deadline Netflix UK Scripted Chief Bristles At "TV Tourists" Barb After Success Of 'Adolescence' Roy Wood Jr. Predicts Stephen Colbert Will Become Leading Anti-Trump Voice On YouTube Next Year Paramount UK Chief Ben Frow Says Channel 5 Won't Be Sold After Skydance Merger 'What Louise was getting at is there is a bit of a problem when global streamers are happy to take advantage of an incredibly rich global ecosystem that has been built up through years and years of PSBs investing in talent, in small companies, spread around the country,' added Katz. Deadline revealed last week that Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Warner Bros. Discovery wouldn't be taking part in their usual Spotlight Sessions at Edinburgh TV Fest and Katz called this out. 'They don't have any obligation to do any of those things. They're not even having Spotlight Sessions,' he said. Israel-Gaza conflict Elsewhere, Katz delivered an emotive viewpoint on why broadcasters and broader institutions need to get their coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict spot on or risk losing young audiences in their entirety. He added: 'The thing that really strikes me as an industry, and perhaps more widely as a set of institutions, is that we are at risk of missing the fact that for a lot of younger people in this country the Gaza-Israel conflict has become the defining issue for their generation. 'If we don't get Gaza-Israel right we will lose young audiences and could lose them for a generation.' Katz, who at last night's annual press dinner praised Channel 4's risk-taking over taking on the BBC's Gaza: Doctors Under Attack documentary, said his network has handled the conflict 'very sure-footedly and with subtlety, intelligence and commitment.' He said there had previously 'been a slightly lazy caricature' that younger audiences only want to watch shows like Married at First Sight and Love Island, or tune into YouTubers like Mr Beast and the Sidemen. Channel 4 has been massively ramping up drama of late, having unveiled shows from the likes of Steven Moffat, Ronan Bennett and starring Glenn Close at this year's fest so far. Katz said his team is looking at drama costing around £2.5M ($3.4M) to £2.7M, which is not prohibitively expensive, and that the network is 'not sitting back and waiting for American co-producers.' He said the network's two most-watched dramas of the year, Patience and In Flight, are 'at the bottom end scale of our tariffs.' He was speaking at the Edinburgh TV Fest on the same day as Shonda Rhimes and Roy Wood Jr. Best of Deadline 2025 TV Series Renewals: Photo Gallery 2025 TV Cancellations: Photo Gallery Everything We Know About 'The Boys' Prequel Series 'Vought Rising' So Far

Netflix's Extraction Spinoff Keeps Getting Good News, And I'm Pumped It Just Added A Game Of Thrones Alum
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Fans of the Extraction films starring Chris Hemsworth got some good news about the franchise earlier this year, although not in the form of a continuation in the form of Extraction 3. A television spinoff is happening to expand the world of the films, and there are finally some casting updates beyond Omar Sy as leading man. Game of Thrones vet Natalie Dormer landed a role, just days after another star was announced. Dormer will be a series regular on Extraction, according to Deadline, to play the leader of a private military contractor by the name of Clayton Wisper. This will be Dormer's second project for Netflix, although it's a safe bet that working on the series will be a lot more intense than her voice work on The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. (The Dark Crystal show was cancelled in 2020.) The actress is likely still best known for portraying Margaery Tyrell on Game of Thrones, with Dormer's character actually in more episodes than heavy-hitters like Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) and Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley). Netflix describes the project as an "action thriller" following a mercenary on a risky mission in Libya to rescue hostages, stuck between killers and factions at war. It won't be all action, however, and the story unfolding as a TV show rather than a movie means that there will be more time for character development than could happen in either of the films. The spinoff comes from showrunner, executive producer, and writer Glen Mazzara (known for shows like The Walking Dead and The Shield), with the Russo Brothers of MCU fame on board as executive producers. While the Extraction show certainly won't be ready in time for a premiere in the 2025 TV schedule, there's more encouraging news about the progress so far. Boyd Holbrook has been cast to play an Extraction team leader named David Ibarra, according Deadline, as a series regular. Like Dormer, Holbrook has worked on Netflix productions before, including Narcos opposite stars like Wagner Moura, The Last of Us' Pedro Pascal, and Andor's Diego Luna. More recently, he wrapped his time as part of The Sandman cast with the series finale in July. Natalie Dormer and Boyd Holbrook star opposite The Killer and Jurassic World: Dominion's Omar Sy, who was the only cast member confirmed when the Extraction spinoff was announced in early 2025. (Sy also has Netflix credits to his name with three seasons of Lupin.) Now, if you're a fan of the Extraction films (both of which are available streaming now with a Netflix subscription), you may notice that I'm not listing Chris Hemsworth or any other names from the movies. At the time of writing, it's not clear how closely tied the show will be to the stories of Tyler Rake (Hemsworth), if at all. For now, you can always revisit the two movies streaming on Netflix, and keep your eyes peeled for any more casting news to come out of the show in the weeks to come. Solve the daily Crossword

Former ‘Home Improvement' star Patricia Richardson looks unrecognizable ahead of reunion with castmates
A former sitcom star might have fans doing a double-take when she reunites with her ex-castmates on the small screen this fall. 'Home Improvement' actress Patricia Richardson looks nearly unrecognizable since she portrayed Jill Taylor on the popular ABC sitcom starring Tim Allen throughout most of the '90s. The 74-year-old no longer has a chestnut brown bob, like the one she flaunted during the seven-time Emmy Award-winning show that followed the work and family life of Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor. 4 Patricia Richardson started growing her hair out during the COVID-19 pandemic. Getty Images Richardson now rocks a head of shock white hair, which she started growing out during the COVID-19 pandemic. 'Ok here we have covid hair grow out,' she captioned in an Instagram post showing the stark difference between her dyed hair and white roots in Oct. 2020. 'Just don't want to cut it! So…. new covid fashion raccoon hair?' Fans flooded her comment section, cheering on her 'beautiful' and natural style which she seemingly kept over recent years. Richardson flaunted her white hair during a 2021 episode of 'NCIS' and also showed off her mane on the red carpet for the premiere of 'Chantilly Bridge' in March 2023 and during a SAG-AFTRA event in Los Angeles in December 2023. Richardson will soon reunite with her former 'Home Improvement' husband and some of her former co-stars during the Season 2 premiere of Allen's current ABC show, 'Shifting Gears,' according to a report by Deadline. 4 Richardson flaunted a chestnut brown bob when she was on 'Home Improvement.' Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images 4 Richardson showcased her white hair in an episode of 'NCIS' in 2021. CBS via Getty Images 'Worlds are colliding,' the show confirmed on its official Instagram page. 'See Shifting Gears x Home Improvement on the October 1 season premiere!' The reunion comes over 25 years after 'Home Improvement' ended in 1999. Richard Karn, known for playing Al Borland in 'Home Improvement,' and Debbe Dunning, who portrayed 'Tool Time Girl' Heidi Keppert in the '90s show, will appear alongside Richardson in Allen's show about a widowed owner of a car restoration shop, the outlet reported. It's not been revealed which fictional roles the trio of guest stars will play in the upcoming premiere but the cast is supposed to help Allen's fictional character, Matt Parker, in an 'unexpected way,' per Deadline. 4 'Home Improvement' ran for eight seasons on ABC in the '90s. ©Touchstone Television/Courtesy Everett Collection The Season 2 premiere of 'Shifting Gears' won't be the first time Richardson has reunited with Allen, 72, on television. The four-time Emmy Award-nominee appeared as Helen Potts, an inconsiderate neighbor, in two episodes of his 'Last Man Standing' series in 2015 and 2016. Richardson has maintained her career since 'Home Improvement' ended. She portrayed Dr. Andy Campbell in dozens of episodes of 'Strong Medicine,' political strategist Sheila Brooks in 'The West Wing' and had a series of guest star roles on shows like 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'NCIS' and 'The Blacklist.'
