Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson Wreak Havoc in Die My Love
Cannes isn't Cannes without its big, bold misses. Last year's edition had them in spades: Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis, Jacques Audiard's Emilia Pérez, Paolo Sorrentino's Parthenope, and David Cronenberg's The Shrouds, to name but a few. This year, I'm sorry to report that one of them is Lynne Ramsay's breathlessly awaited Die My Love, a searing drama about a woman in the midst of a spectacular breakdown, which stars none other than Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, Sissy Spacek, and LaKeith Stanfield. Given Ramsay's distinctive, highly respected oeuvre—Ratcatcher, We Need to Talk About Kevin, You Were Never Really Here—and the caliber of these movie stars, on paper this seemed to be a prospective Palme d'Or frontrunner, before going onto Oscar glory. In reality, it isn't and shouldn't be.
We meet our two gorgeous leads, Grace (Lawrence) and Jackson (Pattinson), in the dilapidated farmhouse they now occupy. Two former New Yorkers with creative ambitions—she, to write a great American novel; he, to record an album—they have inherited it from Jackson's uncle, who recently passed away, and intend to put all of this new space to good use. They do—but not in the way they expected to. An electric, head-spinning montage zips us forward in time, as they dance together with reckless abandon and have desperate, hungry sex on the floor. Soon, Grace is pregnant, and then their son, Harry, is six months old, as she wonders what happened to them. Now, their previously wild, open, and limitless lives revolve around the baby, and they have begun to drift apart.
As that union erodes, Grace visits the distressed Pam (Spacek), Jackson's mother, who lives nearby and, since her own husband's death, can most often be found sleepwalking down a local highway, rifle in hand. Grace also develops a strange obsession with a biker (Stanfield) who stalks their house. Oh, and she's pushed further to the edge when Jackson brings home an excitable puppy, who barks all night while the baby cries and he continues to sleep soundly.
The conditions are in place for an explosive downward spiral: there are infidelities, followed by an attempt at reconciliation, and then everything goes awry once again in epic fashion.

ITV Sees No 'Direct Impact' From Possible Film Tariffs, Studios Unit Returns to Growth After Strikes
ITV Studios 'returned to growth following the impact of the U.S. strikes and is on course to achieve good growth in total revenues over the full year, weighted towards the second half,' as previously guided, U.K. TV giant ITV said on Thursday. ITV, led by CEO Carolyn McCall, provided a first-quarter 2025 trading update early in the morning. 'We continue to assess the possibility of trade tariffs in the U.S.,' it highlighted. 'ITV Studios only produces TV programming and therefore do not anticipate any direct impact from the imposition of tariffs on films.' More from The Hollywood Reporter Need a Drink? 5 Cannes Watering Holes to Wet Your Whistle Christopher Nolan's 'Odyssey' Will Be the First Blockbuster Shot Entirely on Imax Film Cameras Ryan Werner, Veteran Awards and Marketing Guru, Joins Neon as President of Global Cinema The company is also bullish on its broader trends. 'Media & entertainment (M&E)'s solid performance demonstrates ITV's market-leading position in U.K. streaming and broadcast,' the CEO said. 'ITVX continues to perform well, and we expect sustained strong growth in digital revenues. This is underpinned by the powerful reach and strong cash generation of M&E.' Total ITV Studios revenue grew 1 percent in the first quarter, while M&E revenue declined 3 percent, with total advertising revenue (TAR) down 2 percent, as previously guided. 'Within this, digital advertising revenue (a component of digital revenue) grew strongly, up 15 percent,' ITV said. In its ad outlook, ITV noted: 'As previously guided, the year-on-year second-quarter TAR outlook reflects the benefit in 2024 of the men's Euros which drove substantial advertising revenues. Compared to the same period in 2023, second-quarter and first-half 2025 TAR are expected to be broadly flat year on year.' ITV also shared updates on broader trends and initiatives. 'We are continuing to make good progress in implementing our cost and efficiency program and are on track to deliver significant non-content cost savings while optimizing our content spend to best reflect viewer dynamics,' McCall highlighted. 'While the macroeconomic environment is uncertain, we remain confident that our strategic initiatives, our focus on financial and cost discipline and our diversified revenue and customer base will enable us to successfully navigate an evolving market landscape and deliver long-term value to our shareholders.'

Former Spurs Player Delivers Definitive Verdict on 2013 NBA Finals Loss
Former Spurs Player Delivers Definitive Verdict on 2013 NBA Finals Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Antonio Spurs lost to the Miami Heat in the 2013 NBA Finals in one of the most heartbreaking moments in franchise history, highlighted by Ray Allen's legendary game-winning 3-pointer in Game 6. Advertisement The Spurs would go on to lose in Game 7, although it set the stage for their bounce-back year in 2014, where they beat Miami in devastating fashion. During Allen's final shot in Game 6, the Spurs opted to have an unusual lineup on the floor to defend the 3-ball, and it worked against the Heat's first attempt. Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green, and Boris Diaw were all on the floor, with rebounders Tim Duncan and Tiago Splitter sitting on the bench in order to make contesting a shot easier. James missed a 3-pointer over Diaw and Parker, although the Spurs were unable to secure the rebound. Advertisement Stephen Jackson thinks that if he had been on the court, things would have gone differently. "I would have got the f------ rebound," Jackson said to Green on his podcast. "Ray damn sure wouldn't have got it. I mean, he wouldn't have got the shot off or none of that. He wouldn't have been involved because, you know, I take that s--- personally." Jackson was waived by the Spurs before the postseason to make room to sign Tracy McGrady. While Jackson was not a star for the Spurs that season, averaging 6.2 points and 2.8 rebounds, McGrady failed to score a single point for the Spurs in 32 minutes of postseason play. Jackson, since retiring, has long been critical of the Spurs, Parker, and Gregg Popovich. However, he won his only NBA title with the Spurs. Advertisement While it's true that he would have been an upgrade over McGrady in the series, Popovich would have been more likely to play Splitter or Duncan in the final seconds than Jackson. At the time, Ginobili, Green, and Leonard were all better perimeter defenders than he was, and if the Spurs wanted size on the court, his name would not have been the one called.

Summer is for scares: Here are the horror movies hitting theaters this season
Summer 2025 is all about horror movies, with a slew of scary flicks headed to cinemas. This year there's a little bit of everything to look forward to, from sequels to iconic horror franchises to new movies from the genre's most celebrated up-and-coming filmmakers. There's even a bloodthirsty version of Bambi, if that's more your thing. If you plan your summer weekends around the latest scary movie releases, check out our guide for the top horror movies hitting theaters this season. From the Australian team behind Talk to Me comes A24'sBring Her Back, which also poses the question: Just how far would you go to communicate with a dead loved one? The new film stars Sally Hawkins as a grieving woman who takes in two foster children — and has some dark ideas about what to do with them. What's worse than being kidnapped by a serial killer? Being kidnapped by serial killer who takes you out to the middle of the ocean to be consumed by sharks. The film, which premiered at Cannes, takes all the scariest parts of Jaws and combines it with Silence of the Lambs. It will leave you sweating even in the most air-conditioned of movie theaters. Still reeling from the second season of The Last of Us? Return to the world of zombies with the third film in 28 Days Later franchise, which takes place nearly three decades after the Rage virus turned humans into the walking — er, running — dead. The new film from director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland stars Ralph Fiennes, Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jack O'Connell. M3GAN's all grown up! Well, sort of... This time around, killer robot M3GAN gets an upgrade in order to take down an even more evil robot named AMELIA, who is hellbent on destruction. If the trailer is any indication, M3GAN's teen years come with even more sass. (Oh, and for you popcorn bucket collectors …M3GAN 2.0 has an excellent one.) When will teenagers learn that covering up murder is always a bad idea? Apparently not in this long-awaited sequel to the classic slasher, where friends played by Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers and Sarah Pidgeon find themselves victims of a deranged hook-handed man. Fortunately, they've got a few experts on the subject at hand: Stars of the original I Know What You Did Last Summer Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. are back to reprise their roles and offer guidance. Pete Davidson is a comedy guy, but his character in The Home is stuck in a highly unfunny situation. Davidson plays a worker at a retirement home who realizes something is very, very wrong with the residents and staff. While the vibes are Get Out, poor Davidson doesn't — at least, not before the old folks start making cryptic warnings (who the hell are the "marked ones"?!) and he's strapped to a gurney by sinister staff members. Did Disney's Bambi make you cry as a kid? Well, this low-budget horror flick, a part of the Twisted Childhood Universe that also includes films like Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey and Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare, wants you to scream. You'll likely end up laughing at the absurdity of it all instead. Together, which stars married couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie, was a hit at this year's Sundance Film Festival. If you're a body horror fan, you'll love first-time filmmaker Michael Shanks's take on just how close a couple can get. Filmmaker Zach Cregger went for twist after twist with his 2022 film, Barbarian. Now he's back with Weapons, a film about the mysterious disappearance of a classroom of schoolchildren. Why did these kids run away in the middle of the night? Where did they go? And who is to blame? Josh Brolin, Julia Garner and Alden Ehrenreich play townspeople seeking answers. (First thought … has anyone considered checking for tunnels under the basement?)
