London cinema closes citing 'insurmountable odds'
A west London cinema will close its doors for the final time this weekend, citing "insurmountable odds" for the industry. Ealing Project in Ealing Broadway said in a post on social media that its last day of trading would be 1 June. The venue said its original purpose was to "re-introduce cinema to the area after a 15-year absence". Since then, more than 250,000 cinema tickets had been sold and more than 500 events hosted, it added. "Our venue has always been more than just a cinema, it has become a cultural destination that showcases a wide range of community events, arts and live performances," the organisation said in its social media post. It is unclear why the cinema is closing and the Ealing Project was contacted by the Local Democracy Reporting Service and BBC for comment, but no response was received. The cinema said in its social media post: "It is not a secret that the cinema industry has faced near insurmountable odds since the onset of Covid, compounded by the Hollywood writers' strikes, lack of successful film releases, the energy crisis, inflation and widespread economic uncertainty. "Despite all of this, the Ealing Project has been hugely successful in creating an active community hub where all are welcome and a programme of films and activities that reflect the rich diversity of the local area. "Whilst we are sad, we remain positive about the future and hope that the Ealing Project will return in one form or another someday soon."

Zendaya & Tom Holland Are Putting Wedding on Hold For a Big Reason, Says ‘Source'
Zendaya and Tom Holland are surely looking forward to their wedding. However, it seems like they won't be able to hold their ceremony anytime soon. With the couple having several projects in the pipeline, it is hard for them to find time to plan their nuptials. Moreover, while Holland is ready to elope immediately, his girlfriend reportedly wants a big ceremony with their loved ones present to celebrate their love. A source recently told RadarOnline that Zendaya and Tom Holland are having to postpone their wedding due to their busy schedules. While the couple is very much in love, it seems like they will have to be patient before they can say 'I do.' The actors have several movies and television series in the works. In addition, Holland has his non-alcoholic beer brand BERO to consider as well. The insider revealed that the BAFTA Award winner is more than willing to elope with his girlfriend immediately. However, the fashion icon has 'a vision of a wedding,' which involves their loved ones and a proper celebration. The source told the outlet, 'If Tom could jet away with Zendaya and marry her in some exotic locale, he would.' The pair allegedly did try their best to 'fit' the wedding into their schedules this year. However, it just was not possible as they both have several projects on hand at the moment. The insider also highlighted that the couple's career-first mindset doesn't help, calling it 'one of the big challenges' they face. The duo supposedly lets their personal lives take a backseat when they have work. The source further explained, 'Trying to line up schedules can be brutal – it's one of the things that gets in the way for a lot of high-profile Hollywood relationships.' Tom Holland and Zendaya are also not happy about the postponement of their wedding, with both feeling frustrated about the delay. Furthermore, the couple has apparently 'hit a point where the distance and constant travel are really wearing them down.' Even when one of them is in the same place as the other, their partner is 'usually working insane hours.' Originally reported by Namrata Padhee on Reality Tea.

Adam Driver Vowed To Not Watch Himself In Movies Until He Had The Chance To Do It With Carrie Fisher And Daisy Ridley. (He Still Has Regrets.)
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Adam Driver is one of the most versatile actors out there. Whether his best movie performances can make you laugh, like in What If?, or break your heart, like in Marriage Story, Driver knows how to win over an audience. Even if fans love seeing him onscreen, Driver still vowed not to watch himself in his movies until he had the chance to do so with Star Wars co-stars Carrie Fisher and Daisy Ridley. On the other hand, it doesn't mean he still doesn't have regrets about that. With the help of Star Wars, House of Gucci and BlacKkKlansman, Adam Driver's movies have grossed over $2 billion. Fans may be lining up to see the American actor, but it doesn't mean Driver is doing the same. The Girls actor explained on The Howard Stern Show why he can't watch his own movies, and his reasoning makes sense: Because I saw all the mistakes, the things that I wish I could change, but I can't because it's permanent. I don't want to know how it looks. Plus, I came from a theater background where you don't get to see it. I feel like I would be my own critic as well, constantly seeing all of the flaws in my performance that I wish I could change. But like Adam Driver said, what's in the final product is out there with no way to call for a do-over. Maybe that's why a lot of great actors become great directors of their own movies; to have that control of doing multiple takes of their own performance. The Hollywood leading man wouldn't be the only actor to stay away from their own films. Keira Knightley only watches her movies once for the same reason as Adam Driver, in that she only sees the bad in her performance and doesn't like to hear the sound of her voice. Denzel Washington also doesn't rewatch his old movies, feeling he'd rather look forward than back. Driver got real about what movies made him break his vow not to watch himself and see if you can guess which movie: We did so much work on it afterwards and a lot of ADR, and I was watching. It kind of seemed like maybe I should just try getting over it and maybe that's not the right way to go. And it's Star Wars. I can't really believe that I was in it. The Star Wars movies truly were a standout time for Adam Driver. His performance as Kylo Ren was so haunting with uncertainty and longing in his eyes. Compared to the 'angry bad guy' stereotype we see in a lot of villains, Driver was able to show that Kylo Ren was a confused and misdirected guy trying to live up to the impossible legacy of Darth Vader. Even with each drastic choice the Sequel Trilogy's antagonist makes, you can't help but feel sorry for him. Even though Adam Driver was dead set on staying away from seeing his movies, Star Wars: The Force Awakens was clearly the exception. The talented actor said the heartwarming reason he gave the movie a chance was due to seeing it with Carrie Fisher and Daisy Ridley. However, it doesn't mean he still wasn't his own critic. Since Driver's vow is broken, does that mean he'll continue watching his movies? Here's his honest answer to Howard Stern on why he won't: You feel like you want to have control and that's not really conducive maybe, to acting. That's understandable, not to continue watching your own movies due to knowing you have no control over the outcome. Previously, Adam Driver said he's changed the way he watches his own movies by defending his acting choices compared of criticizing them. I feel like that would be the only way to view your movies in trusting that a director knows what works well for their film. It may have been painful for Adam Driver to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens after vowing not to watch his own works, but at least it's nice he had Carrie Fisher and Daisy Ridley there to take in the awkward experience. Even if Driver continues to stay away from his films, the legacy he left behind as Kylo Ren will continue to resonate with fans.
