Here's your first look at Outlander star's "tense and claustrophobic" British thriller Row
Outlander star Sophie Skelton's upcoming British thriller Row has received a number of new first-look photos.
Described by director Matthew Losasso as "tense and claustrophobic", Row follows the story of a woman who is washed ashore in a shipwreck after attempting to cross the North Atlantic.
With her friends and crewmates missing and presumed dead, the survivor must regain her memory of what happened at sea in order to put the pieces together and to prove her innocence.
The synopsis reads: "A woman is interrogated after washing ashore in a bloodstained rowing boat. Appearing to be the sole survivor of an attempted North Atlantic crossing, she pieces together repressed memories and faces the terror of what happened out at sea."
Joining Skelton on the cast are Humans actor Bella Dayne, Red, White & Royal Blue star Akshay Khanna and Before We Die's Mark Strepan.

Written by Nick Skaugan, Row is set to receive its world premiere at this year's Raindance Film Festival in June.
The first-look images of the thriller, which was shot on the open sea, show the bedraggled crew of the boat in what appears to be a tense and harrowing fight for survival.
On his website, Losasso said of his debut feature: "It is a tense and claustrophobic psychological thriller. Set against the cinematic backdrop of the North Atlantic ocean and the Scottish island of Hoy."

Back when the film was announced, the director opened up about the script, calling the drama "compelling" and "intense" (per The Hollywood Reporter).
"An immense ocean appears to stretch infinitely in all directions and yet on board the Valiant," Losasso said. "The lack of space fuels paranoia and intense drama. It's a compelling and fabulously ambitious script.
"If filming on water wasn't enough of a challenge, throw in a twisty dark plot, complicated techniques to avoid green screen backdrops, a commitment to capture the rugged beauty of ocean landscapes and the constraints of independent filmmaking."

Skelton is known for her role as Brianna Fraser in the time-travelling historical drama Outlander, which was based on the bestselling book series by Diana Gabaldon.
Outlander fans recently received an exciting update after a release date was announced for its highly-anticipated prequel series Blood of My Blood.
Set in two different timelines, the show will focus on the parents of Outlander leads Claire Beauchamp (Caitríona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan).
Back in April, Starz announced that the new show will premiere on 8 August in the US. It will debut the following day in the UK on MGM+.

Prince Harry Accused Of 'Directly Insulting' The Royal Family By Considering Changing His Last Name
Prince Harry's rift with the royal family has reportedly worsened amid reports that the Duke of Sussex considered adopting the Spencer surname. The US-based royal is said to have discussed the idea with his late mother's brother, Earl Spencer, who advised against it. However, royal experts say the move by Prince Harry has deepened tensions within the monarchy, with King Charles and Prince William reportedly "hurt and dismayed." Harry reportedly discussed with his uncle, Earl Charles Spencer, the possibility of adopting his late mother Princess Diana's surname, which would symbolically sever his ties with the Mountbatten-Windsor name currently used by his children. According to the Daily Mail, Harry brought up the idea during a recent visit to the U.K., where he had a "very amicable conversation" with his uncle, the 9th Earl Spencer. While the discussion was friendly, sources revealed that Earl Spencer advised against "taking such a step." The proposal has since sparked concern within royal circles. Royal commentator Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital that Harry's inquiry alone has stirred unease. "Once again, Prince Harry has managed to make yet another deeply divisive and emotionally charged move, further fracturing his already tenuous relationship with the royal family," she said. Fordwich continued: "The overwhelming advice from within his own family, particularly from his Uncle Earl Spencer, is to abandon the ludicrous idea due to its legal and emotional consequences." She added: "Even his inquiry highlights the enduring complexities of Harry's relationship with his royal roots… It further thwarts any future reconciliation." The commentator further noted that the royal family is "hurt and dismayed" by the development, causing additional "damage to the already strained family relations." British broadcaster Helena Chard echoed the sentiment, describing the potential name change as having "an air of revenge." Speaking to Fox News Digital, she called the move "hurtful and vindictive" toward King Charles, emphasizing that it reflects Harry's ongoing bitterness. "It highlights Prince Harry's little to no regard for his family," Chard said. "A huge amount of bitterness and frustration bubbling away in Harry could have led to him feeling the Spencer name would help grow his Royal court." Chard also suggested that aligning more closely with the Spencer legacy could be a strategic move for Harry. "No doubt Prince Harry feels reinventing himself keeps him relevant," she remarked. "The world still has a love affair with the late Princess Diana. Harry and Meghan could take a cash grab of Princess Diana's legacy. [However], tarnishing Princess Diana's legacy would leave a bitter taste in the public's mouths." Royal analyst Richard Fitzwilliams also commented, warning that Charles would likely view the idea as a painful rejection of his paternal legacy. "For Harry to consider doing this, he must still feel very embittered," Fitzwilliams noted. "King Charles will regard this with great sadness… What will Harry think up next?" Fordwich also noted that the proposal is "viewed as a direct insult to his father, King Charles III, as well as his extended royal family." She explained: "Ironically, Harry was close to Prince Philip, who fought for the historical significance of the Mountbatten-Windsor name for his descendants. So it is a direct insult to him." According to Fordwich, Harry may see adopting the Spencer name as a way to honor his late mother, Princess Diana, "while distancing himself from the rest of the royal institution he feels alienated from." Fordwich noted that "there is also some speculation that Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, wants their children to be more closely associated with Diana's legacy, especially their daughter, Princess Lilibet, whose full name is Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor." Even so, Fordwich warned that tensions within the royal family remain high, and this new revelation only makes things worse. "King Charles III is hesitant to speak with Harry, and Prince William is disgusted that he keeps referencing their mother," Fordwich claimed. She concluded that "trust and communication are currently at an all-time low. Any hope of rapprochement is now said to be 'in tatters,' particularly given Harry's wish to change his surname, which is viewed as a final break from his royal roots." Meanwhile, royal commentator Ian Pelham Turner told the outlet that he wasn't surprised by Harry's reported interest in adopting the Spencer surname, noting the prince's enduring emotional connection to his mother's side of the family. "Prince Harry, at the time of this alleged conversation, was at a very low ebb," Turner explained. "He found tremendous support from Earl Spencer and Diana's two sisters, who rallied around [him]… The Spencer name is always a potential path for the beleaguered couple and their children. But at this stage, it's not on the horizon." Turner added that the "royal family and Harry are still seemingly at war with each other."

Sotheby's to Auction Original Hermès Bag That Belonged to Jane Birkin
Sotheby's will soon auction the original Hermès Birkin bag that once belonged to the late singer Jane Birkin, one of the most coveted designs in the fashion industry. The famed black leather handbag will be put up for sale in Paris on July 10, the auction house said in a statement Thursday. The original Birkin was commissioned in 1984 exclusively for and in collaboration with Jane Birkin by Hermès International SCA's then Chief Executive Officer Jean-Louis Dumas. Birkin recalled in interviews how she bumped into Dumas on a flight and complained about the lack of an Hermès handbag that suited her needs. The British-French singer retold how she sketched a model on a 'vomit bag' and shortly after Dumas presented her with the original Birkin which the brand commercialised under her name. Jane Birkin sold her bag in 1994 to raise funds for an AIDS charity. It was auctioned again in 2000, and has since belonged to the collector who goes by the name 'Catherine B' on Instagram. Her account biography on the platform says she's the 'proud owner of the first Hermès Birkin bag.' A Sotheby's representative confirmed that the collector is the seller. Hermès bags often fetch higher prices at resale than they cost in boutiques due to long waiting lists. The record for a bag sold at auction is held by an Hermès Kelly known as Himalaya, made in crocodile skin and carrying a diamond, which fetched 4 million Hong Kong dollars in 2021 ($510,000) when it was auctioned by Christie's.

Michelle Beadle doubles down on Stephen A. Smith digs as radio feud intensifies
Michelle Beadle had plenty more to say after Wednesday's news that her former ESPN colleague, Stephen A. Smith, will replace her time slot on Mad Dog Sports Radio with his new Sirius XM show launching this September. Beadle, who went off about it Wednesday on her and Cody Decker's show, 'Beadle and Decker,' doubled down on her comments in an interview with Front Office Sports, acknowledging 'there's no love lost' between her and Smith. 'It's a reminder: We're just all pieces of s–t to someone. If you forgot, there it is,' Beadle said in an interview published Wednesday evening, adding she was 'blindsided' by the news when she found out. Advertisement 4 Michelle Beadle at 'Beadle & Decker' at the SiriusXM Studios in New York City. Getty Images ''The Hollywood Reporter' comes out — and there's his face. I was like, 'I should have known.' That was just kind of gross. I don't care that we're being replaced or what have you. It happens all the time. But a little respect would have been nice. Good Lord. I was totally blindsided. Just really embarrassed, to be honest.' Beadle, who left ESPN in 2019, explained that she's been at odds with the 'First Take' host for years — dating back to 2014, when she called out Smith on social media for controversial comments he made on domestic violence in the wake of ex-NFL player Ray Rice's violent assault on his now-wife. Advertisement 'I don't respect him,' Beadle said of Smith. 'I don't respect his work. He doesn't like me. This goes back to the Ray Rice stuff. He made some really piggish comments on the air. I responded; he got suspended for like two weeks. I think that was sort of the beginning of the end for anything. 'I just don't respect him. I think he gets things wrong all the time. I'm not talking about opinions; those can never be wrong. But factually, when you spread yourself so thin, it's hard to be right. Not a fan.' Smith, who made comments suggesting Rice's wife may have provoked the domestic violence attack, apologized and was suspended for one week by ESPN. 4 Stephen A. Smith speaks before the Game 2 of the 2025 Western Conference finals. NBAE via Getty Images Advertisement Beadle told FOS that her contract with SiriusXM runs through August, but she expects to finalize a buyout before then. 'It was sort of therapeutic … I thought we did a pretty cool show for two years,' she said. Smith's new SiriusXM show will debut Sept. 2, taking over 'Beadle and Decker,' which airs every weekday from 12-3 p.m. ET on the Mad Dog Sports Radio channel. 4 Michelle Beadle and Cody Decker speak on SiriusXM at Super Bowl LVIII on February 7, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Getty Images for SiriusXM Advertisement During Wednesday's show, Beadle was not happy about the news and explained how she and Decker found out that Smith's show would take over their time slot a few hours before it became public. Smith, who will offer his takes on the biggest sports headlines, announced his multi-year agreement with SiriusXM during an appearance on 'The Howard Stern Show' on Wednesday, and 'The Hollywood Reporter' followed with additional details. As a part of the deal, Smith will launch a second show, described as a 'weekly current events, pop culture and social commentary-focused show,' in September. 4 Stephen A. Smith and Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo speak on SiriusXM at Super Bowl LVIII on February 7, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Getty Images for SiriusXM Although Beadle said she won't rant any further, she won't shy away from the topic of Smith. 'We'll show up. We'll have a hockey game to react to — and a basketball game to preview,' she told FOS. 'I can't help the callers. I'll be honest with you: they're crazy. So whatever happens, happens. But we won't entice them to do it, I guess.' Before FOS published Beadle's interview, Smith responded to comments she made on her Wednesday show about being 'blindsided' by the news. Advertisement 'I want to state for the record just so everyone knows what kind of man I am and what kind of teammate I am. I had no idea that folks did not know,' Smith said on SiriusXM's VSiN Live program with Patrick Meagher and Dustin Swedelson. 'I was told by SiriusXM to wait until this morning on 'The Howard Stern Show to make the announcement.' Whatever communication they had with anybody who's there, where they're staying, where they're being moved to. Who's staying, who's going or whatever. It's none of my business.' Smith added he 'would never in a million years be unprofessional and inconsiderate of a contemporary or a colleague.' Beadle, who previously hosted ESPN's 'NBA Countdown,' is the host of 'Run It Back,' an NBA-focused talk show on FanDuel TV with former players Chandler Parsons and Lou Williams.
