Felicity Huffman supports Desperate Housewives reboot led by women of color titled Wisteria Lane
Felicity Huffman, best known for her role as Lynette Scavo on Desperate Housewives, has shared her support for the upcoming reboot of the iconic series. In a recent appearance on Good Morning America, Huffman expressed excitement for the new project, titled Wisteria Lane, though she noted she likely won't be involved beyond cheering from the sidelines. 'They're going to do Wisteria Lane with all women of color, and I'm all for it,' she said. 'I'm going to do craft services,' she joked, adding, 'I just think it's wonderful, and I'm a huge fan of Kerry's.' The upcoming reboot will reimagine the original suburban drama with a new cast of women of color. It is being developed by 20th Television in collaboration with Kerry Washington's production company and will be written by Natalie Chaidez. The title, Wisteria Lane, references the fictional street where the original show was set. Desperate Housewives, which aired from 2004 to 2012, starred Huffman alongside Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, and Marcia Cross. When asked who should portray Lynette Scavo in the reboot, Huffman replied humbly, 'I think a lot of people could do it better than I did, so I can't wait to see it.' Since its announcement in April, Wisteria Lane has sparked a range of reactions from fans, with some voicing concern over reviving a beloved classic with a new approach. Huffman also appeared on the morning show to promote her upcoming Lifetime project, The Thirteenth Wife: Escaping Polygamy, a two-part movie based on true events.

Assange unveils Cannes film
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has "recovered" from his years in detention, his wife told AFP, as a new documentary about him premiered at the Cannes film festival on Wednesday. Assange is at the world's biggest film festival to promote The Six Billion Dollar Man by American director Eugene Jarecki but is not yet speaking publicly. After posing for photographers on Tuesday wearing a T-shirt with the names of killed Gaza children, he reappeared Wednesday for the red-carpet screening wearing a black tuxedo. The 53-year-old former hacker has declined all interview requests, however, with his wife Stella Assange saying that "he'll speak when he's ready." But she was upbeat about his health and said he was already thinking about his next steps. "We live with incredible nature at our doorstep (in Australia). Julian's very outdoorsy. He always has been. He's really recovered physically and mentally," Stella, a Spanish-Swedish lawyer, told AFP. Assange was released from a high-security British prison last June after a plea bargain with the US government over Wikileaks's work publishing top-secret military and diplomatic information. He spent five years behind bars fighting extradition from Britain and another seven holed up in the Ecuador embassy in London where he claimed political asylum. 'Right side of history' Award-winning director Jarecki said his film aimed to correct the record about Assange, whose methods and personality make him a divisive figure. "I think Julian Assange put himself in harm's way for the principle of informing the public about what corporations and governments around the world are doing in secret," Jarecki told AFP. Anyone willing to trade years of their life for their principles, "I think you'd have to look at that person as having heroic qualities," he added. The film includes never-seen footage, including personal videos handed over by Stella, a Wikileaks lawyer who had two children with Assange while he was living in the Ecuadorian embassy. It also features testimony from people who helped spy on Assange, including an Icelandic FBI informant and a private security agent who said he installed bugs accessed by US security services in the Ecuadorian embassy. Ecuador's left-wing former president Rafael Correa, who offered Assange asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, also attended Wednesday's screening. "I believe we were on the right side of history," he told AFP. Jarecki's film seeks to address criticism of Assange, notably that he endangered lives by publishing unredacted US documents which included the names of people who had spoken to American diplomats or spies. 'Complete fabrication' The film extensively features supportive figures, while giving little time to opposing views. Baywatch actor and Assange friend Pamela Anderson makes an appearance, as does American whistleblower Edward Snowden, and left-wing Greek ex-minister Yanis Varifakis who compares the Wikileaks founder to Greek god Prometheus. The film lays the blame for the publication of a trove of 251,000 US diplomatic cables by Wikileaks in 2011 on veteran investigative British journalist David Leigh, alleging he published the password to access the database. Leigh, who collaborated with Assange while working at the Guardian newspaper, told AFP he had never been contacted by Jarecki and he called the theory "a complete fabrication". "It was Julian and Julian alone who did it. He's been trying to find an excuse ever since," he said by phone. Jarecki also dismissed any links between Wikileaks and Russian intelligence services over the leak of Democratic Party emails ahead of the 2016 US presidential election which embarrassed Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton. An investigation by US special counsel Robert Mueller, who probed alleged Russian interference in the 2016 vote, found evidence that Russian military intelligence hacked the Democratic Party and passed the information to Wikileaks. The documentary also examines the role of Swedish prosecutors in starting a sexual assault investigation into Assange, concluding that there was no case to answer. Jodie Foster on leaving US Meanwhile, speaking at the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday, Oscar-winning actor Jodie Foster told Reuters that she prefers to be outside the United States right now, citing better conditions in Europe's film industry as well as more freedom now that her children have grown up. Foster was in southern France for the premiere of A Private Life, a psychological thriller in which Foster assumes the role of a psychiatrist who tasks herself with investigating the death of her patient, played by Virginie Efira. The US-born actor, who won two Oscars for The Accused in 1989 and The Silence of the Lambs in 1992, had to speak in French only for the Cannes film that is screening out of competition. Foster, 62, began her career filming commercials at the age of 3 and has received numerous awards throughout her career, including an honorary Palme d'Or award from Cannes in 2021. "I'm really enjoying working outside the United States," she said, recalling how she is not as tied down to the US now as she was when her children were little and she had to stay close to home. Foster, who first came to Cannes as a 13-year-old when she starred in Taxi Driver, said working as a director in France was better than in the US because of more creative freedom. Blending genres, like director Rebecca Zlotowski does in Foster's new film, is very uncommon in the US, she said. Studios want a film to be either a thriller or a comedy, they don't want a mixture of the two, she said, whereas France allows the director to have more authority on such decisions. "That's the reason why filmmakers love to come here." In Europe, female directors also have had more opportunities compared with the US, said Foster, herself a director. "I'd only worked with one female director until a few years ago. Isn't that kind of amazing? After I've made 60 movies that I've barely ever worked with another woman?" she said. "Europe has always had a female tradition, or at least for quite a while. But in America, somehow that bias really took hold."

Michael Strahan nods to Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise's rumored bond on Good Morning America
Ana de Armas has officially addressed the ongoing speculation about her frequent sightings with Tom Cruise, confirming that the two are working on multiple projects together. The actress appeared on Good Morning America on May 15 to promote her upcoming action film Ballerina, set in the John Wick universe. When host Michael Strahan mentioned Cruise and hinted at their collaboration involving stunts, de Armas replied, 'We're definitely working on a lot of things. Not just one but a few projects with Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie and, of course, Tom. And I'm so excited.' Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie are long-time collaborators of Cruise, having worked with him on action-packed films like Edge of Tomorrow, American Made, and several entries in the Mission: Impossible franchise. In late 2024, Deadline reported Cruise and Liman were developing a supernatural thriller titled Deeper. De Armas, 37, and Cruise, 62, were first seen together in public in February during a dinner in London, reportedly with their agents to discuss future collaborations. Since then, they've been spotted on several occasions, including on de Armas' birthday walk in a London park and arriving via helicopter with Liman in March. Most recently, they were seen leaving David Beckham's 50th birthday party on May 3. Despite the frequent outings, representatives for both actors have declined to comment on the nature of their relationship beyond professional ties. Both Oscar nominees are known for their intense action roles and strong screen presence, making their joint ventures highly anticipated. While specific details about the upcoming projects remain under wraps, fans can expect a dynamic on-screen pairing between the two stars.
