French director presents new romantic Dracula
As a director with no affection for the horror genre, France's Luc Besson has made a new version of Dracula with American actor Caleb Landry Jones in the principal role as a lovelorn incarnation of the famous vampire. Besson, best known for The Fifth Element and embroiled in sexual assault allegations and financial problems in recent years, has produced what he believes is a "romantic" vision of one of the most notorious Gothic figures. Titled Dracula: A Love Story and based on a relatively minor plotline in the original Bram Stoker book, the 66-year-old director puts Dracula's search for the reincarnation of his late wife at the heart of his story. "I'm not a fan of horror films, nor of Dracula," Besson told Le Parisien newspaper about his production, which straddles several centuries in the life of the immortal blood-sucking count. It was sparked by discussions with Landry Jones, the star of X-Men: First Class, whom Besson directed in his last film, 2023's Dogman. "I'd love to do all my films with him. He's a genius," Besson told RMC radio in France this week of the 35-year-old Texas-born actor. Having been released first in France on Wednesday and then in other European and South American countries over the next month, the film is the biggest-budget French film of the year, according to media reports. Besson's career and personal finances took a major blow in 2017 with his hugely expensive flop Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, which cost an estimated $180 million and had an A-list cast that included Rihanna. The year after, the man behind the popular thrillers Leon and Nikita faced rape allegations from the Dutch actress Sand van Roy, which he always denied. The case was dropped without charges after a legal battle that went all the way to France's top court in 2023. Initial reviews for Besson's Dracula are mixed, with Paris Match magazine calling it the "best horror film of the summer" while Le Figaro newspaper said it "unfortunately failed to bring fresh blood to the vampire myth." The original 1897 book has been adapted over a hundred times to the silver screen, with the two modern classics considered to be the 1958 version by British director Terence Fisher and a 1992 production by Francis Ford Coppola. Another Gothic literary masterpiece, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, is to get another overhaul later this year in a big-budget Netflix-funded production by Guillermo del Toro which will premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

Kamala Harris announces memoir '107 Days,' schedules interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
Former Vice President Kamala Harris is set to release a new memoir, 107 Days, recounting her brief but historic 2024 presidential campaign. The book, published by Simon & Schuster, will be released on September 23 and offers a candid, behind-the-scenes perspective on what Harris calls 'the shortest presidential campaign in modern history.' Announcing the book on Thursday via social media, Harris wrote, 'What the world saw on the campaign trail was only part of the story.' In a video posted alongside the announcement, she reflected on the emotional and political intensity of the campaign, noting, 'It was intense, high stakes, and deeply personal.' Harris added that her goal in writing the book was to share what she learned during that pivotal time and what she believes is necessary for the country to move forward. Harris launched her presidential bid in mid-July 2024, following a series of tumultuous events, including President Joe Biden's decision not to seek re-election and the assassination attempt on her Republican opponent. Despite the last-minute campaign and national uncertainty, Donald Trump ultimately won the election. Simon & Schuster CEO Jonathan Karp praised Harris's work, calling her 'a singular American leader' and saying the memoir 'captures the drama of running for president better than just about anything I've read.' Harris is scheduled to appear on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Thursday night in what's being described as her first major interview since the 2024 election. The appearance also follows CBS's recent announcement that The Late Show will end after next season, citing financial reasons. -Instagram. On Wednesday, Harris officially ended speculation about a run for California governor, issuing a statement explaining her decision not to enter the race to succeed Gavin Newsom. She emphasized the need for new strategies in politics while remaining committed to long-standing values. A longtime political figure, Harris made history as the first female, Black, and South Asian vice president of the United States.

Netflix renews animated series before it even airs
Netflix has taken an unusually bold step by renewing the adult animated series Long Story Short for a second season before viewers even get a chance to see the first. The show, created by BoJack Horseman mastermind Raphael Bob-Waksberg, is set to premiere its debut season on 22 August 2025, but the streamer has already committed to continuing the story beyond that. In a cheeky statement, Bob-Waksberg reacted to the early renewal with his signature wit, 'Wow!! A season two?! And season one hasn't even come out yet! It must be a REALLY good show. I can't wait to watch it when it premieres.' Netflix seems confident that it's betting on a hit, doubling down before the public's verdict is in. The animated series chronicles the Schwooper siblings across multiple decades, jumping through different time periods as they navigate childhood, adulthood and everything in between. The show promises to mix emotional depth with surreal humour, a balance Bob-Waksberg mastered in BoJack Horseman. Voice talent includes Lisa Edelstein, Paul Reiser, Ben Feldman, Abbi Jacobson, Max Greenfield, Angelique Cabral and Nicole Byer, while Dave Franco and Michaela Dietz will appear in guest roles. With original art by Lisa Hanawalt, who also worked on BoJack, and production by ShadowMachine, the team behind Tuca & Bertie and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, the project has strong creative backing. Netflix's decision to renew the show so early may be a strategic move to ensure continuity in production for its animation division, but it also fuels curiosity. Will the series live up to the hype when it finally arrives?
