Watch 'Conclave.' How to view the 2024 movie about the pope selection

"Conclave" is a period drama revolving around the Vatican.

Quentin Tarantino reveals 'crazy' reason he scrapped his final film 'The Movie Critic'
Quentin Tarantino may have backed out of his swan song, but it wasn't because of stage fright. The Oscar-winning filmmaker, who was slated to conclude his esteemed directing career with "The Movie Critic," opened up about the film's cancellation in an Aug. 15 interview on "The Church of Tarantino" podcast. "It's a little crazy to listen to podcasts and hear all these amateur psychiatrists psychoanalyze as if they (expletive) know what they're talking about," Tarantino, 62, said. "About what's going on with me, about how I'm so scared of my 10th film. ... 'Oh my God. I'm so fragile about my legacy.'" Tarantino, who previously said he planned to retire after his 10th film, told Deadline in 2023 that the film was set in California in 1977 and based on a real-life film critic who wrote "movie reviews for a porno rag." Brad Pitt, who won an Oscar for his role in Tarantino's 2019 film "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood," was reportedly in talks to star in the film. Tarantino said the film started as a limited, eight-episode series. While the "Pulp Fiction" director was satisfied with the show's script, he later decided to adapt it into a film format: "No one's waiting for this thing, per se. I mean, I can do it whenever I want. I mean, it's already written. So OK, let me just not start it right now." "Let me try writing it as a movie and let me see if it's better that way. ... And I was like, 'Oh, OK. No, I think this is going to be the movie.' And then it wasn't," Tarantino continued. "I pulled the plug on it. And the reason I pulled the plug is a little crazy." Throughout his nearly four-decade career, Tarantino has become an icon of cinema thanks to his colorful neo-noir style, which often includes graphic violence and frequent references to popular culture. Some of his best-known films are "Reservoir Dogs," "Pulp Fiction" the "Kill Bill" franchise, and "Inglourious Basterds." 'The Movie Critic': What Quentin Tarantino has said about Brad Pitt-led film Why Quentin Tarantino didn't move forward with 'The Movie Critic' When it comes to movie magic, Tarantino isn't one to repeat himself. The director told "Church of Tarantino" host Reverend Scott K. that he gave himself a "challenge" with the subject of "The Movie Critic," which fueled much of his creative interest in the film. "Can I take the most boring profession in the world and make it an interesting movie?" Tarantino said. "Who wants to see a movie called 'The Movie Critic'? ... If I can actually make a movie or a TV show about somebody who watches movies interesting, that is an accomplishment." Quentin Tarantino's movies, ranked: From 'Reservoir Dogs' to 'Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood' And while Tarantino felt he met that goal, he said the film's production process bore too many similarities to "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood," which is also set in a retro period of Los Angeles. "I wasn't really that excited about dramatizing what I wrote when I was in pre-production," Tarantino said. "There was nothing to figure out 'cause I already kind of knew, more or less, how to turn LA into an older time. So, it was too much like the last one." As for what the future holds, Tarantino shared that his upcoming projects include an untitled play and "The Adventures of Cliff Booth," a sequel to "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood" written and co-produced by Tarantino, directed by David Fincher, and starring Pitt as the title character. "I won't be on the set every day and everything, but I'll be around if they need me to do something," said Tarantino, adding with a laugh: "It's a little more like I've given David a gigantic novel written in screenplay form, and it's his job."

Halle Berry slips into red lingerie on tropical birthday holiday
Halle Berry didn't let a few clouds damper her tropical birthday trip. Berry, 59, made the most of the gloomy weather and enjoyed a seaside swim with a massive inflatable yellow duck. The Oscar-winning actress slipped into a red lacy Uwila Warrior set to splash in the water in the private pool at her over-the-water villa. The "Catwoman" star floated on the water wearing a flower crown while sipping on a cup of coffee days after her Aug. 14 birthday. "Making the most of a cloudy day," Berry captioned the series of photos shared online. Earlier in the week, Berry shared a few glimpses of her tropical getaway with musician boyfriend Van Hunt. Berry looked completely at ease wearing a gold Monday Swimwear bikini as she sipped on a coconut while overlooking the water. "Phew…! cooking, cleaning and mothering," she captioned the post, seemingly referencing recent comments made by her ex-husband, David Justice, during his Aug. 7 appearance on Matt Barnes' "All the Smoke" podcast. On the podcast, Justice explained that his understanding of relationships "wasn't vast," and he believed at the time that a wife "should cook, clean, [and be] traditional, you know? "Then, I'm thinking, 'OK, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?'" he explained. "At that time, as a young guy — she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem, like, motherly, and then we start having issues." Justice and Berry married in 1993 and divorced more than four years later. Berry filed for divorce in April 1996, citing "irreconcilable differences." Justice filed his own divorce papers two weeks later. It was made official in June 1997. During his sitdown on the podcast, Justice pointed out that Berry asked him to marry her after a few months of dating. "There really wasn't a lot of negative attention until I decided to leave her in 1996," the former Braves outfielder said. "… She asked me to marry her after knowing me for five months. I said, 'OK' because I couldn't say no … but I don't know if my heart was really into it." Berry and Justice's divorce was finalized in 1997. She has two children – daughter Nahla with ex Gabriel Aubry, and son Maceo with ex Olivier Martinez. The "Die Another Day" actress revealed on Instagram in 2020 that she was in a new relationship with musician Van Hunt. While the couple has been dating for five years, there's no rush to get married. "I put out the proposal, and it's still on hold as you can see," Hunt told in June during a joint interview with Berry. "It's just out there floating. You know, maybe you can encourage her." Berry admitted her past relationships influenced her decision to wait out another marriage. "Well, I've been married three times. Van has been married once, and so no, we don't feel like we have to get married to validate our love in any way. We don't," Berry said.
