Elle and Dakota Fanning to Star in "The Nightingale" Film Adaptation, Sets 2027 Release Date
TriStar has set a new February 12, 2027 release date for "The Nightingale," its highly anticipated feature adaptation of Kristin Hannah's global bestselling work of historical fiction.
Gestating for some time, the project has regained traction for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic, enlisting "To Leslie" helmer Michael Morris to direct.
Dakota and Elle Fanning are still set to star and produce, starring together on film for the first time, having first attached to the project in 2019.
Dana Stevens (The Woman King) penned the script, and Elizabeth Cantillon will produce for The Cantillon Company, alongside the Fannings and Brittany Kahan Ward for Lewellen Pictures, and Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter for Hello Sunshine.
Nicole Brown and Shary Shirazi are overseeing for TriStar Pictures.
Sources attributed the February 12, 2027 date to the fact that it's a huge event weekend, with the double holiday of Valentine's Day that Sunday and President's Day on Monday. Sunday, February 14 is also Super Bowl Sunday, which presents an opportunity to counterprogram with a film that already has a substantial built-in fanbase.
"The Nightingale" will also be the first big female-skewing title of the year as the schedule currently stands.
Selling more than 11 million copies worldwide since its 2015 debut after being translated into 45 languages, "The Nightingale" tells the story of two sisters who dare to embark on separate, dangerous paths during World War II in the fight for survival, love and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France.
The book hit No. 1 on the New York Times Best Sellers list and has spent a combined 165 weeks on the list across formats, also dominating NPR's fiction chart for 45 weeks and being named a Reese's Book Club Pick.
In March 2025, a special 10th Anniversary Edition got to No. 2 on the NYT hardcover list, and already this year, the book has sold a million copies.
"The Nightingale" has had a decently long journey to the screen, beginning with TriStar's move to lock down film rights in 2015, with Ann Peacock coming on to write and Cantillon to produce. (The latter has been with the project ever since.)
Writer-director Michelle MacLaren and co-writer John Sayles attached to a later iteration, with the Fannings initially coming on to star in a version helmed by Mélanie Laurent from Stevens' script. Just when it looked like the project would get off the ground, the pandemic resulted in numerous delays, with Laurent stepping back to attend to other projects in the interim.
A two-time Emmy nominee known for his directing on series like Better Call Saul, "13 Reasons Why" and "Kingdom", Morris directed Andrea Riseborough to her first Oscar nomination with his feature directorial debut, the indie drama "To Leslie". His follow-up project on the feature side was "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy", which enjoyed acclaim as well as international box office success, surpassing $100M globally while premiering on Peacock only in the U.S.
Dakota Fanning will next be seen starring opposite Sarah Snook in Peacock's upcoming series "All Her Fault". Elle Fanning, meanwhile, is next set to appear in dual roles in Dan Trachtenberg's "Predator: Badlands", out November 7, and in a starring role alongside Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgard in Joachim Trier's "Sentimental Value", the winner of Cannes' "Grand Prix", which is out in limited release via Neon on the same day.

Demi Lovato Marries Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes in Romantic Ceremony
Yara Sameh Demi Lovato and her partner, Jordan "Jutes" Lutes tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in California on Sunday. For her walk down the aisle, Lovato donned a custom "pearl white" Vivenne Westwood gown with a corset bodice and a cathedral-style tulle veil. "I have been a fan of Vivienne Westwood's designs for a long time,' she told Vogue . 'When I was thinking about [what dress style I wanted], I often found myself coming back to Vivienne's designs — specifically how the silhouettes really complement the curves in your body, and her use of corsets,' she added. Lovato, who collaborated with the Westwood team on the design, gushed, 'I love everything about the dress." As for the reception, she wore into a second Westwood look, an ivory silk satin column dress with a draped corset top, per Vogue. The design featured broken pearls trailing from the neckline. "It's a one-of-a-kind piece that makes me feel so special," the singer said. According to the outlet, the newlyweds hosted a rehearsal dinner on the eve of their wedding. After a run-through of their ceremony, overseen by celebrity event planner Mindy Weiss, the group enjoyed an intimate meal. Ahead of their wedding, Lovato expressed her excitement to marry Jutes via a sweet post on Instagram on February 14. "Jordan, I cannot WAIT to marry you!! The past 3 years have been the best 3 years of my life and I have you to thank for that," she wrote alongside sweet photos of them posing together next to a vintage Porsche. "I'm obsessed with your heart, your love and your light. I can't wait to grow old with you and start a family together 🥹🥹 Happy Valentine's Day to the love of my life. I love you honey!!!". Lovato and Jutes met during a writing session for Lovato's album "Holy Fvck" and went public with their romance in August 2022. Jutes popped the question in a 'personal and intimate proposal' in Los Angeles on December 16, 2023. "You know, I've waited my whole life for him," Lovato told PEOPLE in September 2024. "It's very grounding to have a partner that is so supportive, so loving, so caring. It's very easy to stay centered with him because I love him so much and he treats me so amazing." However, the couple didn't rush tying the knot. Jutes revealed to the outlet in October 2024 that they didn't want to worry about wedding planning. "We're not trying to stress ourselves out,' he said. 'I feel like a lot of weddings can be stressful and very quick, and so we're on it, but we're also taking our time, and we're also just enjoying being engaged.' "We're not trying to skip engagement to get right to wedding," he added. "We're just basking in it and soaking it up. We'll be married forever. We just want to enjoy every step." During a September 2023 appearance on the PodcastOne podcast LadyGang, Lovato opened up about her first interaction with Jutes while they worked on her eighth studio album. "I texted my friends and was like, 'Oh my God, the hottest guy just walked in. I am so nervous. I don't know what to do with myself,' " she said. The singer noted that it took 'a couple months' for them to become romantically involved. Their collaboration resulted in Jutes co-writing Lovato's tracks "Substance," "Happy Ending," and "City of Angels." In August 2023, he gushed about the singer's talents and their romance in an Instagram tribute written in honor of Lovato's birthday. 'Your heart has changed lives all over the planet… especially some dude from a farm in canada who wound up in your session over a year ago,' Jutes wrote. 'I didn't know the perfect person existed until i met u. but now that i do, i'm gunna spend the rest of my life protecting u and doing whatever i can to squeeze another smile n belly laugh outta u. i couldn't be more proud to call u my baby.' Lovato got candid about what makes their relationship work during an appearance on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show in September 2023. 'He has the best personality. We laugh nonstop,' she said. 'There's this partnership there that is just so magnetic, and the way that we laugh together — it's just nonstop. So I think if you can find someone that makes you feel safe, that you're so attracted to, that you laugh with constantly, that's the formula of a really great relationship.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies

FIVE reasons why rom-com slasher HEART EYES is all the rage!
HEART EYES, an American romantic comedy slasher film directed by Josh Ruben, is set for release in Egyptian cinemas on May 7th, courtesy of Fourstar Films. Here are five reasons to get excited and hit the theatres: ● It's a heart-eyed slasher! Seriously, how often do we get such a uniquely twisted blend? As gore is romantically offset by witty quips and one-liners, the film is sure to offer viewers a night to remember. ● An eerily original story: For the past several years, the 'Heart Eyes Killer' has wreaked havoc on Valentine's Day by stalking and murdering romantic couples. This Valentine's Day, no couple is safe. Cupid's arrow sure won't miss. ● With rave reviews all around, the film has performed remarkably well in such a short span of time, currently holding an 81% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and garnering significant praise across social media platforms. ● The perfect flick to pick, whether you're out with friends or on a date night out with your SO, HEART EYES is sure to hit the bullseye as the prime cinema pick on a night out. ● A heart-gripping cast: Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding play coltish coworkers Ally and Jay — who are, rather unfortunately, mistaken for a couple— alongside stars Gigi Zumbado, Michaela Watkins, Lauren O'Hara, Alex Walker, and Amy L. Workman (TEEN WOLF). Get ready to brandish those emojis to your own heart's content, as you post about your experience watching HEART EYES — an all-new slasher in cinemas across Egypt starting May 7th.
