Robert Eggers' Werwulf Gets Promising Update From Casting Call
A new report from World of Reel has given fans a update, including a promising look at when we might know who will star in Robert Eggers' highly anticipated next film. According to World of Reel's report and a UK casting call sheet, Werwulf will begin filming this September in Elstree, England. This means casting for the film is likely already underway, and we might know more information sooner rather than later. According to a Q&A Eggers took part in at the Lincoln Center, the director himself said that his upcoming Werwulf will be the 'darkest thing' he's ever written. The movie is currently slated to release on December 25, 2026. Details for the project are mostly unknown as of now, but the project will be set in 13th-century England, and much like Eggers' other projects, will feature dialogue and settings accurate to the period. Original rumors suggested the film would be in black and white, according to THR, but that won't be the case. Prior to the announcement of Werwulf, rumors suggested that Eggers had been tapped to direct a new Labyrinth movie. Eggers himself has also spoken about wanting to make a medieval movie known right now as The Knight, as well as one day hoping to make a Western film. He's also been rumored to be working on a miniseries about Grigori Rasputin, the Russian mystic and faith healer. The cast of Werwulf is also unknown as of now, but Eggers did mention during the Nosferatu press tour that he had asked Willem Dafoe to be in two of his next movies.

Why Princess Diana "Gave Up" Prince William and Prince Harry During their Childhood Summers
Princess Diana willingly "gave up" her summers with her sons Prince William and Prince Harry for a heartbreaking reason, her former butler says. Paul Burrell, who served as Princess Diana's butler from 1987 to 1997, said Princess Diana only had two weeks each summer with her sons. He revealed that the last summer of her life, Princess Diana spent two weeks with her sons in the Mediterranean before bringing them back to Princess Diana and then-Prince Charles separated in 1992 before filing for divorce four years later, they shook up the British monarchy—and, according to the late Princess of Wales's longtime butler, their dynamic with their sons. In an interview with Marie Claire published on Tuesday, July 16, Paul Burrell— who served as the late royal's butler from 1987 to 1997—revealed the heartbreaking reason that Princess Diana 'willingly gave up' her sons Prince William and Prince Harry during the summer. Following her split from Charles, Diana began to see much less of her boys during the summer months, with Burrell sharing that she 'only ever had the boys for two weeks every year because she gave them up.' He explained. "Summer was fun for her, but she realized that the rest of the year and the time away from boarding school, that they would be with their father and their friends.' This decision was a particularly difficult one in the years before her death, as both her sons started attending boarding school when they were just 8 years old—at the time of Diana's passing, William was at Eton while Harry went to Ludgrove Prep School. Despite wanting more time with her sons, Burrell said Princess Diana knew what was at stake if they didn't fully integrate in the royal fold. 'She said it's important for them to grow up with her cousins, with the Royal Family at Balmoral,' he shared, adding, 'She realized that they were growing up and they had to be integrated into the Royal Family because William one day will be King and Harry will be there to support him." Burrell also said that Princess Diana had to get creative with planning summer vacation activities with her sons, usually choosing a beach destination like 'Necker Island, or somewhere remote' rather than Kensington Palace. The former butler revealed that Princess Diana's last summer with Prince Harry and Prince William in 1997 was a brief one before the boys headed to Scotland to spend the rest of the season with Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, and their dad Charles. 'They'd been to the Mediterranean, and they played on jet skis, and they'd had fun. Then she brought them back home so that they could go to Balmoral,' he explained. While Princess Diana might have felt this decision was the best thing for her sons, it didn't make the lack of time together any easier. Describing the late royal as a 'devoted mother,' Burrell revealed that this arrangement took a toll as Harry and William's boarding school schedules already cut into their limited time together. 'She began to lose them to the outside world and to the Royal Family. Not emotionally, but physically, which was very sad,' he said. Read the original article on InStyle

The Other House, South Kensington
Why book? Because there's nothing quite like it in this part of town, where visitors are usually looking for a comfortable stay to combat museum fatigue after ticking off the V&A and other big hitters. The Other House South Kensington promises all the inside-track benefits of a private members' club combined with the convenience and autonomy of having your own London crashpad. For this it leans into tech, offering an app which means guests can plug into the services of the hotel, and be as engaged—or not—with staff as they want. Set the scene Although this place strives to be different in its apartment-living-meets-hotel-stay concept, it is also still very much rooted in its surroundings. The main feature of the lobby is a gilded whoosh of a chandelier mimicking a garland of leaves. Commissioned from Cox London, it is designed to echo the leafy private gardens found in this well-heeled neighborhood. The decor throughout is rainforest-opulent, with signature owl and monkey wallpaper in the bar of the same name, along with velvet cushions with bejeweled panther heads and gilded parrots perching on lamp stands with fringed parlor-worthy shades. The animal motifs continue throughout the public areas—from the peacock-stalked jacquard jackets worn by front-of-house staff to the tropical waistcoats of the mixologists. There's even strokable armadillo-print wallpaper in the ladies' bathroom on the club floor. Here you'll also find three spaces open to residents and members: the Keeping Room—clubby and cool with armchairs and sofas in richly textured and toned fabrics, and a baby grand for impromptu singaloangs, plus three little curtained nooks that invite ordering afternoon cocktails; the Hogsmire, a light- and tree-filled atrium with a courtyard feel where Panama hats hang on pegs fashioned like twigs; and the Owl & Monkey, which is open during the day to members and residents as a coworking space. Beside the lobby, there's also the library, where the book selection was curated by Pandora Sykes, and includes titles from Gilly Cooper to Candice Carty-Williams via Charles Dickens. And look out for the brightly daubed disruptor art: elaborate frames bought around Europe then smeared with pops of oil paint. On our visit, the crowd consisted of arty Euro couples, local friends sussing out the scene in the bar, and families with teenagers hanging out in the vibrantly decorated library. The backstory Naomi Heaton, CEO and founder of The Other House, made her name in advertising and property development before launching this hospitality brand. She transferred some of the learnings from her residential background to the design of the hotel, for example she didn't want a lobby that was too formal or staid and created the Club Flats (the name for the property's 200-plus guestrooms) so they resemble urban studios, with sitting rooms and kitchenettes. The renovation of the property was extensive as it spans 11 grand Victorian townhouses, which at one point had been converted into a hotel. After a complete reconfiguration of the buildings, the new incarnation now includes four sky-lit atriums, a café, cocktail bar, private meeting and dining rooms, a pool, gym, and a wellness space. Next up, Heaton plans to launch Other Houses in Covent Garden and Belgravia. The rooms Ranging from studio-feel Club Pros and vaulted-ceiling Club Turrets to three-bedroom Club Vaults, the choice of stays here is expansive. While for some guests, a compact apartment with a fully kitted-out kitchenette and deep-orange velvet sofa and TV will tick all the boxes of a neat London pied-à-terre, larger groups or families can take over a 'combo,' a group of apartments connected by a covered private courtyard for riad-style living. The moody aesthetic uses wood and leather panels with a focus on wool and tweed in the soft furnishings. To enhance the neighborhood feel, each floor is named after famous one-time-local residents. Our room was on O'Brien—after singer Dusty Springfield. Food and drink All-day street café The Other Kitchen is open to the public as well as residents, serving breakfasts of green smoothies, granola, berry compote, and Clarence Court eggs on fun monkey-motif china by William Edwards, and lunches of giant sandwiches stuffed with chicken, pickled vegetables, and kimchi mayonnaise, or salads of butternut squash and crispy bacon. Come evening, the vibey Owl and the Monkey cocktail bar turns up the soundtrack and turns out great cocktails and satisfying small plates. Especially impressive here is the choice of non-alcoholic concoctions—try French Kiss 0%, with plum and rhubarb elixir, grapefruit soda, and Everleaf Mountain, or for something boozy, the Monkey See, Monkey Do for a rum, yuzu sake, and clarified milk experience. Among the small plates are halloumi bites, sausage rolls, and broad bean, pea, and feta arancini. The spa The hotel's Other Space does wellbeing with a spiritual and holistic twist—from a wellbeing concierge offering one-on-one experiences to astrology and tarot card reading. There's also a vitality pool for laps, with sexy black tiles and a light installation, plus a sauna, steam room, and seriously kitted-out gym with Peloton bikes and hi-tech rowing machines. Group sessions of body work such as yoga take place three times a week. The neighborhood/area The shopping of Knightsbridge, leafy paths of Hyde Park, and local-haunt restaurants of Chelsea are on the doorstep. The idea behind The Other House is to bring the fun-loving members' club set-up to a new part of London while still rooting it in the area. The service The young and upbeat staff strike up a rapport with you from the minute you walk in the door, and are equally friendly right through to making sure your pre-dinner drinks are as stiff as you like them. This is all part of the traditional hotel service here, but for guests who are treating it as their London apartment for longer stays, there are extra bells and whistles such as a separate post room for Amazon deliveries and an area off the lobby for Deliveroo drop-offs. You can even take up a residence for a year, leave for a few months and return to pick up where you left off. The in-house app allows you to have the run of the place: order food, see how busy the gym is, or book The Den screening room for a film night with friends. Eco effort Sustainability is one of the brand's pillars, so materials with a low environmental impact were used in construction, and products from verified eco-friendly suppliers have been sourced for the hotel's day-to-day operations. For example, you won't find any limes in cocktail garnishes at the Owl and the Monkey (they are among the fruits with the biggest carbon footprint, according to Heaton). Furniture and fabrics throughout the property are from British design houses. Accessibility All floors are accessible via the elevators, and there are accessible rooms available from the ground to the fifth floor.
