The incident increased the actress's anxiety, as she was already nervous about playing the iconic character of Rhaenyra in the 'Thrones' universe.
"It just confirmed everything that I've kind of known to be true, [which] is that I'm not very good at my job. You know what I mean! I was like, 'I can't do this. This is terrible. This is a big mistake," said Alcock as quoted by Variety.

As per the outlet, the new cast members for the third season include Tommy Flanagan, Dan Fogler, Tom Cullen, Joplin Sibtain and Barry Sloane.

Sydney Sweeney talks about her character in Euphoria season 3, says 'even worse'
Washington DC [US], June 7 (ANI): Sydney Sweeney shared some insight into her character's journey on the upcoming third season of Euphoria. "Cassie is crazy," Sydney told Jimmy Fallon on the recent episode of The Tonight Show, before teasing that in the HBO series' new instalment ", she's even worse," according to E! News. As for whether Cassie's character arc includes a walk down the aisle, as seen in recently leaked set images? Sydney wasn't willing to explain the meaning behind the pics, which show her wearing a wedding dress while walking down an aisle featuring the intertwined initials, "C" and "N." (Fans have speculated that the initials stand for Cassie and Nate, her character's love interest in season two, played by Jacob Elordi.) "I can't confirm or deny," The White Lotus alum said before joking that the photos, "could be A.I." Sydney, who announced her separation from fiance Jonathan Davino in May after seven years of dating, has been silent on the rest of Cassie's season three journey in Euphoria. However, during the past few months, a number of clues regarding the impending episode have been made public, according to E! News. Warner Bros. Discovery global streaming chief JB Perrette announced at a tech and media conference in December that the show is expected to return in 2026, according to Variety. And in addition to Sydney and Jacob, cast members such as Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Eric Dane, Martha Kelly, Chloe Cherry and Colman Domingo will also reprise their roles in season three, which began production in February. Meanwhile, Super Bowl champion Marshawn Lynch, Rosalia and Sharon Stone will make special appearances on the series. "There is little more exciting than going to work with this team of thrilling talent," the Basic Instinct actress said in a statement in February. "From the genius of Sam Levinson to the raw sophistication of this profoundly moving cast and tight crew. I am honored to be Euphoric," according to E! News. (ANI)

Sydney Sweeney calls herself ‘really vicious', says it's ‘kind of psychotic' how she jumps in character: ‘I feel bad for my co-stars'
Sydney Sweeney's not spilling Euphoria season 3 secrets just yet. Showing up on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor opened up about her new Apple TV+ thriller Echo Valley, which also stars Julianne Moore. Sweeney talked about how she can snap in and out of character and described it as 'psychotic.' But Fallon wasn't letting her leave without dropping the question that's been blowing up the internet: does Cassie get married in Euphoria season 3? The upcoming season, starring Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, and a lineup fans have been dying to see again, is easily one of Sweeney's most hyped projects. 'Cassie is crazy,' she said with a grin, brushing off the noise. Also read: Sydney Sweeney releases soap infused with her own bathwater, fans react: 'Thanks, I'll take 100' In the newly released Apple TV+ show, Sydney plays the troubled daughter Claire. Julianne Moore stars as her mother. The story revolves around the life of a mother-daughter duo who go to extreme lengths to protect each other after the daughter shows up on the doorstep, soaked in blood. Sydney told Fallon that shooting emotional, violent scenes with Moore was intense. 'I, like, jump in and out,' Sydney said when Jimmy asked how she prepared for the role. 'It's kind of psychotic,' she added. 'Like, you're happy and fun, and then…' Jimmy cut in, and Sydney finished the line, 'And then they say, 'Action!' and I'm screaming and crying. And then they call, 'Cut!' and I go, 'What's wrong?'' Sydney said she really respects Moore and admires her acting, but realised later just how she may have hurt her verbally during a scene where the two had to argue. 'She's so kind and fun, and just amazing to work with,' Sydney said. 'I felt so bad,' she added. 'I did. 'Cause I am. I'm vicious. I'm really vicious.' Also read: MrBeast's viral reaction to fans begging for Sydney Sweeney's bathwater soap: 'Stop asking…' While chatting, Jimmy pulled out a leaked photo of Sydney on set, dressed in a wedding gown. The blurry pic has been the talk of the town ever since it leaked from the set. Does Cassie get married? To Nate (played by Jacob Elordi)? Is that even real? Jimmy straight-up asked her. Sydney downplayed it, 'I can't confirm or deny.' With a smirk, she added, 'Who knows, that could be AI.' Jimmy laughed it off, 'No, it can't.' Though she did say that she might spill the tea 'next time' she's on the show. What we do get, though, is that Cassie's character is going to be messier and a lot crazier. 'It's the favourite version of her. She's even worse, she's even worse,' Sydney told Jimmy. In another interview with Empire, the Madame Web star revealed that Euphoria Season 3 is completely 'unhinged,' and that she pushed for it. 'I have such a spot in my heart for Cassie, and I hold her really close and dear. She is crazy. She makes so many mistakes. She's flawed on so many levels, but she does it all from a place of love. It could be a sad version of love, as well.' She revealed she personally went to director Sam Levinson and said: 'Let's go crazier. He was all in.' On the personal front, Sydney reportedly ended her engagement with Jonathan Davino. They got engaged in 2022, but called it off earlier this year.

Snoop Dogg film to be directed by Craig Brewer
ANI Published 7 Jun 2025, 09:20 AM IST Washington DC [US], June 7 (ANI): Craig Brewer, known for helming such films as 'Hustle & Flow' and 'Dolemite Is My Name', is set to direct the biopic of Snoop Dogg. Universal Pictures has set Craig Brewer to film the definitive biography of Snoop Dogg's rise from hip-hop artist to renowned entertainment magnate. Brewer will contribute revisions to a script previously written by Joe Robert Cole. The film will be produced by Snoop Dogg, Brian Grazer and Death Row Pictures president Sara Ramaker. SVP Production Development Ryan Jones will oversee the project for the studio, reported Deadline. The Snoop Dogg film marks the first movie under Death Row Pictures' overall contract with NBCUniversal Entertainment & Studios. It is an offshoot of Death Row Records, the label that established Snoop Dogg's career and is now embarking on an ambitious new chapter with the expansion. The strategic shift strengthens the brand's reach beyond music, ushering in a new era of imaginative on-screen storytelling. Universal has found success in the historical hip hop space with the F. Gary Gray-directed Straight Outta Compton, the story of the seminal rap group N.W.A film that was nominated for a Best Screenplay Oscar and grossed more than USD 200 million. Before that came 8 Mile, which starred Eminem in a drama based on his life and rise. Grazer produced that film, which grossed USD 250 million and won an Original Song Oscar for "Lose Yourself." Death Row's upcoming slate of projects starts with the Snoop Dogg biopic. Beyond film, Snoop will return to NBC's musical competition series The Voice this fall, reclaiming his red chair for Season 28. On top of that, he will continue to partner with NBCUniversal on cross-portfolio opportunities; he was a breakout star on NBC and Peacock's coverage of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, reported Deadline.
