Andrew Scott joins A Place in Hell opposite Michelle Williams and Daisy Edgar Jones
Andrew Scott has joined the cast of legal thriller 'A Place in Hell'.
The 48-year-old star is set to star opposite Michelle Williams and Daisy Edgar Jones in the Chloe Domont movie, according to Deadline.
Domont is to direct the motion picture, and she has penned the screenplay for the film.
It will tell the story of two women who work at a high-profile criminal law firm.
Scott is best known for starring in 2023 romantic drama movie 'All of Us Strangers', alongside Jones' 'Normal People' co-star Paul Mescal.
Like Mescal, Scott also appeared in a hit BBC TV series, 'Fleabag', and he has led the cast of Netflix thriller series 'Ripley'.
Scott recently told how he credits acting for helping him overcome a speech impediment.
He explained to The Times magazine: "I had a speech impediment as a child and acting helped me be less self-conscious and shy.
"I had a strong lisp and in elocution lessons I practised improvisation and verbalising phrases like, 'She sells seashells on the seashore.'
"I still find acting helpful."
Away from appearing in front of the camera, the actor, who is due to star in 'Wake Up Dead Man', the next Knives Out mystery, takes pleasure in painting.
He said: "I love painting people, and my mother [who was an art teacher] was very influential. She made sure that I drew from observation.
"She always said, 'Draw something that you see, not something that is in your mind', and that's always stuck with me.
"I don't have a life you'd describe as unusual. I live in the city, and I go home to Ireland and see my loved ones.
"I go to the gym and, honestly, I just love going to the movies. And galleries. All of that artsy stuff gets my heart beating.
"Nature is increasingly important to me. I love the coast particularly. And mountains. And spectacular canyons. All of it is pretty amazing."

Meghan Markle twerks to induce labour in new video for daughter's birthday
The Duchess of Sussex has shared a tip for soon-to-be mums in an intimate family video celebrating her daughter's fourth birthday. Meghan Markle, 43, reflected on the day of Princess Lilibet's birth with a sweet video of her and Prince Harry in the hospital waiting for labour to begin. The duchess said that after spicy food, walking, and acupuncture "didn't work", she turned to twerking in the hospital room a week after the Princess' due date. "There was only one thing left to do," Meghan said in a post to social media. Princess Lilibet was born on June 4, 2021, and was the second child of Harry and Meghan to be born a week past their due date, after Prince Archie was born on May 6, 2019. The mother of two also shared candid snaps of Lilibet. "Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today, she came into our lives - and each day is brighter and better because of it," the duchess said. "Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day," she said. It comes as Harry and Meghan explored the idea of changing their family name to Spencer amid months of delays in their children receiving passports from the United Kingdom, the Guardian newspaper reports. Harry, the Duke of Sussex, believed that the passport delays were the result of UK officials blocking the applications over the use of the Sussex surname and HRH titles (his or her royal highness) for his children, the newspaper said, citing an unnamed source.

The source also said other media reports which said Spencer had advised Harry against changing his surname and that the legal hurdles to doing so were insurmountable, were inaccurate. Harry, the younger son of King Charles, stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and moved to California, where he lives with Meghan and their two children Archie and Lilibet. Since leaving, he and Meghan have been highly critical of the royals in TV documentaries, an explosive interview with US chat show host Oprah Winfrey and most notably in Harry's best-selling biography Spare. The prince is barely on speaking terms with either his father or his elder brother, heir to the throne Prince William. In a BBC interview last month, Harry said he wanted reconciliation with the royal family but that his father King Charles will not speak to him over a separate row about his security.

Olivia Munn feels as if she has reached ‘the other side' in life after health fight
Olivia Munn has reached 'the other side' in her life after a series of health traumas. The 'Your Friends and Neighbours' actress, 44, endured a string of brutal surgeries after a cancer diagnosis upended her life, and she has now spoken about how she feels as if she has been given a second chance at enjoying motherhood and her career. She told People: 'I'm so grateful to be on the other side. Everything feels easy in a way. 'I feel so at peace. If I can stay happy and healthy, then I just want to sail into the rest of my life.' The actress has three-year-old son Malcolm with comedian and actor John Mulaney, 42, and says handling him puts her into 'survival' mode at times when he unleashes tantrums. Olivia was diagnosed in April 2023 with luminal B breast cancer – a fast-growing, hormone-driven form of the disease – just months after recovering from postpartum anxiety following Malcolm's birth. She said about the experience: 'It was a whole other perspective, because I had been struggling with life in postpartum, and now I was so desperate to stay alive. 'From the moment I received my diagnosis, it just became a march forward.' She underwent a series of major medical interventions, including a double mastectomy, hysterectomy and ovary removal – and began IVF treatment on a specialised protocol for cancer patients. She and John were able to retrieve and fertilise seven eggs. Olivia added: 'I said, 'I really don't think I'll be okay unless we get two girl embryos. I know this puts me at risk, but I just need you to support me'. 'He said, 'Whatever you need'.' That same day, they learned they had two healthy female embryos. In September 2024, the couple had their daughter Méi via surrogate. Olivia said: 'We were so lucky to find someone so kind who we bonded with so much.' She and John couple married in July that year and said she felt as if she recently needed to get back to acting to 'energise' herself. Olivia is now filming season two of 'Your Friends and Neighbours' in New York, commuting regularly back to California, where John is raising the children and taping his Netflix variety show 'Everybody's Live'. She added: 'It's a dance right now with our schedules. 'We make it work simply because we have the mindset that it's a blessing.'

'It's a huge opportunity': Aussie pub featured in hit Netflix crime documentary series Last Stop Larrimah up for sale
A notorious Aussie pub which features as the centrepiece location in the hit Netflix series Last Stop Larrimah has hit the market with a substantial price tag. The Larrimah Hotel, in the Northern Territory, is currently up for sale following the immensely popular two-part series hitting the streaming service in 2023. The hotel is located off the Stuart Highway about 534 kilometre south of Darwin. The number 8 Mahoney Street property is listed on Domain for $795,000 due to the owners seeking to retire. Last Stop Larrimah documents the mysterious disappearance of one of the tiny outback town's residents, Paddy Moriarty, who vanished into thin air revealing a long history of disputes among Larrimah's 11 inhabitants. The posting boasts 21 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms, and is touted as being 'everything you expect and want' in a 'true blue' Aussie bush pub. The real estate agent Warren Andrews said 'you have to see it to believe it' as the infamous hotel features an 'endless collection of eclectic 'bits & bobs''. 'From the Pink Panther(s), to the giant Draught Stubbie, to resident Emu's & Crocodiles, this pub is steeped in History & Mystique,' Mr Andrews said in the property listing. Steve Baldwin, the current owner who bought the pub in 2018, and knew Mr Moriarty, said the town had 'never been in the market' for receiving visitors. 'It's always been passing trade,' he said. 'It was pretty run down. We've spent most of the time cleaning it up… It's 80 per cent renovated – the house. Built as staff accommodation. 'As of Wednesday night, we now have tap beer on. That's the first time in 30 years.' In another first for the historic pub, pool tables have also been put in. Domain said Mr Andrews had received interest from potential buyers from across Australia. 'There has been a little bit of Territory interest and interest from Perth and in Queensland,' he said. The pub owner said the almost four metre crocodile named Agro and the two emus, Elise and Elliot, will stay at the property. 'It's a huge opportunity. The pub isn't expensive. With what's going on in the place… it's going to do very well in the future,' he said. 'The potential buyers are corporates who might want accommodation and food or a young couple with a lot of energy and go and they could do extremely well.'
