In ‘The Phoenician Scheme,' it's the transactional vs. the transcendent
When the history of the decline of American moviegoing is written, one savior will deserve mention: Wes Anderson. During a period of churning audiences and a lemminglike rush toward streaming, the eight-time Oscar nominee has made movies that have reliably coaxed spectators back into brick-and-mortar theaters. Like Christopher Nolan and James Cameron, Anderson has become a reliable brand.

The four-time Oscar nominee is expecting her first child with husband Jack Lowden, as confirmed by People magazine on Sunday, June 1. Rumours of the Little Women star's pregnancy began to quietly swirl following her recent appearance at Louis Vuitton's Cruise 2026 show in Avignon, France, where the Irish actress, an ambassador for the house, wore a minimalist slip dress with a lace trim and an empire waist that, with effortless elegance, revealed the faintest suggestion of a baby bump.

In 2018, they met when starring opposite one another in Mary Queen of Scots . Though it's unclear when they officially began dating, after years of quietly building a life together, the couple reportedly wed in a private ceremony in Scotland in July 2024—unsurprising for two talents known for keeping their personal lives out of the spotlight. During the press tour for the film, Lowden gushed about his future wife. 'The woman is a force of nature on and off screen, and utterly fearless and a brilliant leader as well,' he said during an AOL panel. 'For being 24 years old, it's just constantly amazing to me, not just her work, but how she is on a set is amazing.' On the work front, their creative partnership has continued to flourish as well. Most recently, Ronan, 31, starred in The Outrun , a visceral portrait of addiction and recovery set in the Shetland Islands, adapted from Amy Liptrot's memoir. Lowden, 35, served as co-producer on the project. 'Through my partner in crime, life, and love,' Ronan told W magazine , about how she came about the role. '[Jack] handed me the book and said, 'This is the next role that you have to play.''

Florence Pugh shares a playful kiss with male pal as she shares fun-filled snaps spending time with her friends in London after winning rave reviews for star turn in Marvel's Thunderbolts*
Florence Pugh looked to be riding high on her recent Thunderbolts* success, as she shared a slew of sunny snaps of enjoying some well-deserved time off, hanging out with her friends in London. The actress, 29, took to her Instagram on Thursday to give fans a glimpse into her summer so far, showing her larking about with her pals and some adorable dogs. One hilarious shot showed the result of the Oscar nominee having fun with pal Theo Smith in a photobooth, with the duo pulling funny faces for the camera and even sharing a cheeky smooch. Florence could also be seen cuddling her beloved pet pooch Billie in the back of a car and receiving a slobbery hello from another sweet four-legged friend in a park. The Little Women star displayed her trendy sense of style, dancing in a bar in a stylish barn jacket, a patterned bandana and red sunglasses. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Looking on cloud nine to be having some quality time with her loved ones, she captioned the post: 'London summer hits the spot'. It comes as Florence's latest film Thunderbolts* has been strong numbers in the box office, taking in $74.6 million from its debut weekend. And her starring turn as Yelena Belova in the Marvel superhero film has been singled out for praise by fans and critics alike. The Daily Mail's Brian Viner wrote that 'she's the propulsive force that could just make a hit of Thunderbolts*' and that she 'quickly establishes herself as one of Marvel's more compelling characters'. While The Guardian's review declared Florence to be 'the saving grace' of the film and 'a superhero performer'. Radheyan Simonpillai wrote: 'But if it ultimately works, it's all due to Pugh, who can wrestle sincerity out of a screenplay (and a franchise) that has so little, capturing a whole emotional arc in just her moments of silence. Thunderbolts can be messy, sure. Pugh is the kind of star who can thrive in such mess.' Florence appears to be having similar success in her love life, with the Midsommar star thought to be currently dating Peaky Blinders star Finn Cole. While neither have officially confirmed their relationship, Finn, 29, showed his support for her by attending the UK premiere of Thunderbolts* last month. Looking on cloud nine to be having some quality time with her loved ones, she captioned the post: 'London summer hits the spot' Though he and Florence didn't pose together, he notably appeared in a group photo featuring her and her friends and family, making a red carpet debut of sorts with the actress. The pair are thought to have been dating for several months, after already having been friends for years. They were first reported to be secretly dating after they were seen slipping out of the after-party for the London premiere of Netflix hit The Perfect Couple together in September. They had previously been seen partying at Glastonbury Festival together, while Florence had been spotted liking his Instagram posts and shared her delight when it was revealed he had landed a role in the theatre production Red Speedo. She commented on the post: 'Oh my gosh this is unbelievably exciting!' and added that she'd be bringing her beloved grandmother, sharing: 'Granny Pat wants to come... #obvi'. Finn is best known for playing Michael Gray in the BBC series Peaky Blinders, which he starred in alongside his brother Joe. While she wouldn't name ho,, Florence confirmed her relationship status during her October cover shoot with Vogue, and has confessed she is very much in love and is approaching their romance differently to things in the past. She confirmed: 'I am [in a relationship]. OK, so something that I resonate with is that I believe that if magic is real, then it's falling in love.' Though he and Florence didn't pose together, he notably appeared in a group photo featuring her and her friends and family, making a red carpet debut of sorts with the actress Florence candidly revealed that she and her partner were 'figuring it out' and said she is ready to start a family. She added: 'We are figuring what we actually are. And I think for the first time, I'm not allowing myself to go on a roller-coaster. 'I'm allowing myself to take time to let something evolve and let it be completely real to its core, as opposed to racing into that. 'Falling is the most amazing feeling but unfortunately if that's the only thing that you know in a relationship, then that's the thing that you chase. That's not gonna last.'

Materialists Offers a Frank Take on Love and Money That's Long Overdue
Before Past Lives director Celine Song was an Oscar nominee, she was a struggling playwright in New York who needed to pay rent. So, for about six months, she worked for a matchmaking company, trying to help singles find life partners in the city's grueling dating arena. The then late-twentysomething met people she didn't normally encounter in her artistic life (financiers, doctors, lawyers) and asked them what they were looking for in a partner. They were frank, trading old-fashioned ideas of romance for cold, hard statistics.
