Richard Linklater's ‘Breathless' Homage ‘Nouvelle Vague' Being Pursued By Multiple Buyers For Domestic
Multiple domestic buyers are in the mix to buy Richard Linklater's Breathless homage, Nouvelle Vague, which launched to warm words at the Cannes Film Festival over the weekend.
We expect a deal to get done in the next 48 hours and it should be at the higher end for a U.S. acquisition of a French-language movie. In the right hands, there's talk the film could figure in the awards race.

‘Materialists' Filmmaker Celine Song Knows Something About Love
The best romantic comedies in and of themselves become timeless Bibles of life. Woody Allen's Annie Hall didn't just speak to the 1970s single folk but also to any teenager in a future era going through heartbreak. More from Deadline 'How To Train Your Dragon' Won't Be Laggin' At Summer Box Office With $175M-$185M Global Start For Live-Action Redo - Preview 'Materialists' Review: Dakota Johnson Measures Value Of Love Between Chris Evans And Pedro Pascal in Celine Song's Sublime Romcomdram From Grammy Nominated Hip Hop Artist To Indie Filmmaker With 'Paradise Records': The Rise Of Logic - Crew Call Podcast Ditto for 2009's 500 Days of Summer: It may have been about millennials and for millennials, but carried themes about the pursuit of love that any fortysomething could relate to. And, so, we arrive at Celine Song's Materialists which is a deconstruction of the singledom that's absolutely now, steeped in its social media marketability and posh wants, but at the end of the day it's the raw, shabby, sincere form of love which wins out. In turning the romcom on its head (though Jane Austen's Emma does come to mind), Dakota Johnson plays Lucy, a high-end matchmaker in NYC who contends with her clients lofty wants in a mate. Lucy, who knows everything there is about marketability in the game of courtship, falls for the ultimate unicorn in Pedro Pascal's ultimate rich dude, Harry. But then Lucy's ex, John (an amazing, no-holds-barred Chris Evans) reenters the picture. He doesn't have Harry's wallet, but, man, he knows what makes Lucy tick (beer and soda). Before she was an Oscar nominated filmmaker, Song was a matchmaker ten years ago. 'I learned more about people in those six months, than in any other part of my life,' she tells us today on Crew Call. Though she doesn't consider herself an expert on love, you can't deny her knowledge. Move over, Leo Buscaglia. 'Love is a completely mysterious thing that we don't have a solution for,' says Song about the difference between dating and finding the love of your life. 'Love is something that humbles us, that ask us to surrender, it's the one that asks us to be our purist, most simple self,' Song shares, 'When love is offered to you, all you can say is 'Deal'. You can say 'Yes, deal. I want this love in my life.' Materialists opens this Friday. Best of Deadline 'Stick' Release Guide: When Do New Episodes Come Out?

We're envisioning sitting by the pool with a cold drink in hand, showing off this stunning mani. Come June, flowers are on full display. It seems only right to have a manicure to match.

Take a slightly different approach by incorporating all your favorite neon colors across your nails for a rainbow-like effect. Turquoise, pink, and flowers—can it get more summery than that?

No one was ever the same after Hailey Bieber first debuted her glazed donut nails. They take on a different life with this emerald green base. Paint your nails with your dark green gel polish, and after curing, wipe chrome powder on top of each nail to get the effect. Set your fingertips ablaze with red flames. The fiery red designs contrast with the pink and blue base, adding a touch of flair (ahem, flare) to the manicure. Cat-eye nail designs have become popular in every shade and design, including these muted colors. Apply a cat-eye magnetic gel polish, then create the swirls by hovering a magnet above the nails in a circular motion. There's something alien-esque about these pink nails with silver chrome detailing. If you're not a pink person, use any other color for your base (just make sure the silver will still pop!). Jelly nails for summer? Yes please. Paint them a Barbie pink color for ultimate summer vibes. Read the original article on Byrdie

‘RHOM's Alexia Nepola & Marysol Patton On Tuning Out Opinions From Viewers & Why Filming Break Helped Some Of The Ladies In The Friend Group
Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton are back on Bravo as The Real Housewives of Miami return to television. The reality series took an extended break between seasons to break from the yearly filming schedule and see the ladies during another phase of their lives. More from Deadline 'The Real Housewives Of Miami' Season 7 Cast Photos, Trailer & Premiere Date Set At Bravo Bravo's 'The Real Housewives': Every Single Cast Photo In Franchise History Brynn Whitfield Not Returning To 'Real Housewives Of New York City' After 2 Seasons As She Opts To "Walk Away From Reality TV" Season 7 of RHOM picks up after Nepola announces her separation from her husband Todd, with all the girls coming together to support her. Ahead of the season premiere, Deadline talked to Nepola and Patton about what viewers can expect in the new season and how it was returning to film after the extended break. 'I should actually have a body cam on myself [to] document everything in my life. I should really be filming all year round, but thank God I'm not, because… sometimes you do need a little break,' Nepola said. 'It makes sense because sometimes you do need to give some of the ladies in the friend group some months off to develop and have more things going on and whatnot.' Patton says that she wished 'every day' she had a camera on herself and Nepola when cameras were down, but ultimately noted that the extended break helped, saying, 'to have story lines [for] real things. Because the minute you jump into things too quickly, you don't have enough time to have new things going on in your life. Look what happened with Julia – we had a break and she adopted two children. It was [also] big changes in Alexia's life and changes in the friend group as well. Some people got closer, some people you would have expected to be close forever are no longer close. Time does a lot of miracles.' Alexia Nepola on tuning out opinions from viewers The premiere episode of RHOM shows the cast coming together to support Nepola as she announces her separation from her husband. However, things are much different now as Nepola and her husband have patched things up and worked things out. 'It's hard,' Nepola said of watching the episode showcasing a contrasting part of her life. 'But with that being said, I look back and that's the beauty of life, right? How I was going through so much pain and hurt a year ago, and today, I'm filled with hope, and I'm happy and I'm in a much better place.' She continued, 'I'm in a good place right now. But, if I wasn't, maybe the story would be different. As far as my relationship goes, like any other relationship, there's ebbs and flows, and highs and lows. It was very emotional for me.' Nepola is one of the few housewives who lives authentically in front of the cameras and doesn't make life choices based on how viewers might perceive her and says, 'I tune out.' 'I don't feel or think about the consequences, but it's kind of too late because you're in the moment and you're feeling it, and you're doing it,' Nepola adds. 'I've never done anything for camera. Maybe I should do less. Maybe that's my problem, that I say too much and I do too much, but that's how I am in my real life. The camera just documents it.' Why cast is different from the others The Real Housewives are known to have fiery conversations, but the Miami ladies keep it light and fun, and never seemingly go to a place where they can't come back from. 'I think for the most part, people can be shady, but they're not too nasty, except for one person. We've only got one person with a nasty problem. Other than that, that's a good quota for nine women. Just saying,' Patton says. Nepola adds, 'I feel like we're too nice. I feel like our friend group that we're too nice. I don't really watch any other Housewife show, but I watch clips, and I'm very friendly with many of the other women on the other shows, and I feel like they really go at each other.' Patton notes that she thinks the RHOM cast is different 'because we're all actually friends,' adding, 'When you're not friends with people, you don't care how you treat them, and a lot of these shows are cast with strangers just to fill a spot, and they're not really friends. We're all really friends.' 'And that's why it works for us, you can't lie to the camera,' Nepola says. 'You can really see that we're all friends, and we have so much history and we fight like sisters and we love like sisters, so I think that that's what the audience really loves about our show.' Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton's take on the feud between Larsa Pippen and Lisa Hochstein The premiere episode of RHOM Season 7 sees a fallout between Larsa Pippen and Lisa Hochstein, which ends with Hochstein kicking Pippen out of her home. 'I'm very friendly with both of them, and I love and care for both of them. So as your friends, it was very hard to watch,' Nepola said about the feud. Patton adds, 'Eventually, we removed ourselves. We were like, 'You guys, have to figure it out. We can't do anymore. I don't want to hear you complain. I don't want to hear you complain. You two need to complain to each other and figure it out.'' If faced with a similar situation about being kicked out of someone's home, Patton says, 'Yo me muero.' ('I would die.') 'Yo me voy,' Nepola adds, saying she would have left. 'It was horrible. I was mortified. I felt terrible for Larsa because she was very upset about it and she was very sad. I mean, just the fact that she went, maybe I wouldn't have even gone to Lisa's house because they were already feeling a certain kind of way about each other. I knew that by seeing each other at some point during the night, that was going to happen.' Patton says she wouldn't have kicked anyone out of her home and says she has even had fellow co-star Adriana de Moura at her place, despite them not being friendly. 'I have had Adriana in my home over three times and handed her gifts, and I've never thought in a moment, how much I don't want you here, that I would actually throw you out of my house, because I would never throw anyone out,' she says. and the cast trips No one does it like The Real Housewives of Miami, and Nepola and Patton teased the trips the cast will be taking in Season 7. Patton teases that the cast trip to Sevilla in Spain was in honor of Alexia, adding, 'Alexia grew up in Spain in her teen years. She was in high school there and she loves it. It was beautiful.' 'It was our best trip. I feel like when we go on trips, you can't even invent the the shit [that] goes down. I don't know what it is, but the energy is different. Everyone's on 10,' Nepola says. 'You'll get to see laughter and you'll get to see tears. You get to see both, which is what makes us human and makes us real, and it makes us relatable because we're going through shit and you can see it, but we also have a lot of fun, and it's just beautiful. Sevilla is a beautiful setting.' Nepola also notes that the cast also goes on a cruise, which was thanks to Patton, who said, 'I might be friends with Richard Branson, so we go on this cruise, and it was great. We had a lot of fun.'
