Caught Stealing trailer shows Matt Smith as you've never seen him before
Matt Smith looks worlds away from his Doctor Who days in the trailer for his next big screen appearance, Caught Stealing. The star of The Crown and House of the Dragon plays a punk hiding a huge criminal secret in the Darren Aronofsky film, where he'll star alongside Austin Butler. Here's all you need to know about the action-packed gangster film, which has just dropped its first trailer. Fans of Smith will see him rocking a very different look as a punk in the first trailer for Caught Stealing. He plays Russ, a punk from London who sports a red-and-orange dyed mohawk, studded jacket and a lot of chain jewellery in the film's first-look trailer. Russ tells his neighbour Hank, a burned-out ex-baseball player, that he has to return to London and asks him to take care of his cat - leaving Hank unwittingly plunged into a violent criminal underworld as he realises Russ's neighbourly request isn't quite as simple as it seems. The trailer shows Russ in a cash-and-goods stuffed lock-up, explaining to Hank his plan to keep $4m of stolen money while fending off the Russian mob, Puerto Rican and Jewish criminals intent on claiming it back. Set to a soundtrack of The Clash's Should I Stay or Should I Go, the trailer shows the action set in 90s New York City with Smith's character tearing around the roads in a car with the registration plate "RSS H0LE". Hank finds himself unexpectedly befriended by some of the criminals on his tail as he joins them for a family dinner, while others are a lot more menacing as they threaten him with guns and attack him in his own flat. It is the latest film from the director of The Whale, The Wrestler and Black Swan, and is due to be released in cinemas in August. Smith and Elvis star Austin Butler lead the film's cast, with Butler playing unsuspecting neighbour Hank who is drawn into Russ's criminal nightmare. Oscar nominee Butler's character Hank gives a Cockney accent his best shot as he says "Oi, what are you doing geezer!" to an underwhelmed Russ, who snarls: "Is that the best you can do?" However, Hank's baseball talents are more useful than his impersonations as he wields a bat at various different criminals throughout the trailer. Also heading up the cast is Zoë Kravitz as Hank's new girlfriend Yvonne, who he's keen to impress by proving he can handle the risky game he finds himself in. The rest of the cast includes Liev Schreiber, Vincent D'Onofrio, Bad Bunny, Regina King, Griffin Dunne and D'Pharoah Woon-A-Tai. Caught Stealing is released in cinemas on 29 August, 2025.

Riad Tizwa Marrakech Unveils 1960 Sketches by Pop Art Pioneer Derek Boshier
Riad Tizwa Marrakech Unveils Rare 1960 Sketches by Pop Art Pioneer Derek Boshier 'We are thrilled to show the drawings Derek made in the 19060's on one of his first trips abroad from the UK. His observations captured the beauty and creativity of Morocco.'— Daniel Bee MARRAKECH, MOROCCO, May 8, 2025 / / -- Riad Tizwa Marrakech Unveils Rare 1960 Sketches by Pop Art Pioneer Derek Boshier Hotel Riad Tizwa in Marrakech is honored to present a newly unveiled exhibition of 12 rare sketches by the late British pop artist Derek Boshier, created during his formative 1960 visit to Marrakech. These works, never before exhibited and shown for the first time in Morocco, offer a unique glimpse into the early vision of an artist who would become a defining voice in British pop art. Boshier, who studied alongside David Hockney at the Royal College of Art in London, emerged in the 1960s as a critical observer of the Americanization of British culture. His early works, such as Special K and England's Glory, juxtaposed consumer imagery with political commentary, establishing his reputation for incisive social critique. Throughout his career, Boshier expanded his practice across various media, including painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, photography, film, video, assemblage, and installations. His collaborations with musicians like David Bowie—designing album covers for Lodger (1979) and Let's Dance (1983)—and The Clash further cemented his influence on contemporary culture. Boshier's works are held in prestigious collections worldwide, including the Tate Britain, MoMA New York, the British Museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Boshier passed away peacefully at his home in Los Angeles on September 5, 2024, at the age of 87. His death was noted in major publications including The New York Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph, and The Independent, highlighting his significant contributions to the art world and his collaborations with prominent figures in music and art The unveiling at Riad Tizwa coincides with the riad's partnership with the prestigious 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair in Marrakech - the leading international art fair dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora. This partnership underscores Riad Tizwa's commitment to fostering cultural dialogue and supporting the arts within the vibrant context of Marrakech. Founded in London in 2013 and now held annually in New York, London, and Marrakech, 1-54 has become a vital platform for emerging and established African artists, curators, and collectors. Marrakech's edition brings together galleries, institutions, and thought leaders for a vibrant, city-wide celebration of African creativity and innovation. Riad Tizwa is honoured to work with 1-54. To arrange an appointment to see the works - please email the hotel directly. Riad Tizwa Marrakech originally opened in 2006 and very quickly became one of the must stay hotels in the Red City. The heady combination of environmental consciousness, being located in the most upmarket neighbourhood of Dar El Bacha - and an aesthetic which ensures every bedroom is unique and warm, made Riad Tizwa an instant hit with discerning travelers from around the globe. This recent refurbishment introduced enhanced environmental features including state of the art solar panels and new sustainable local craft decorations - supporting Moroccan artisans, and also deepen the unique authentic aesthetic. The new bedroom on the ground floor is perhaps the most romantic in the riad – with both a walk-in shower and luxurious bath tub, and the new roof terrace, brings fresh stunning views across the medina adding to the relaxing and tranquil atmosphere. In 2008, the hotel received the esteemed Clef Verte International eco-label and was amongst the first Riads in Morocco to achieve the sustainable business practice award.

Joe Strummer was right. We really are 'so bored with the U.S.A.'
And so we fill our pages and TV and radio broadcasts with Americana on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, every day. On Tuesday, for example, America was front and centre for the return of Jim Al-Khalili's The Life Scientific series on Radio 4. Dr Anthony Fauci, physician and former Chief Advisor to the President, and someone who had his own run-ins with Trump, was this week's guest. This interview should have happened last October, Al-Khalili revealed. It was delayed because Fauci had gone down with West Nile Virus. 'I was deathly ill,' Fauci admitted. 'It seems somewhat ironic - if you want to call it that - that the chief infectious disease person in the United States winds up getting bit by a mosquito in his own backyard,' he added. Fauci was getting his photograph taken by the Times when it happened. So, newspapers nearly killed him. And people think social media is dangerous. Actually, it is. The toxic impact of social media was one of the main themes of the programme. Fauci was sent death threats because he dared push back against Trump's unscientific outbursts during the pandemic. And he is currently worried that the impact of anti-vaxxers could lead to a measles outbreak in the US which in turn will lead to infant deaths. 'I hope that speaking truthfully and openly about the dangers of this will overcome the disinformation that says don't worry about it.' Good luck with that, Anthony. Of course you could argue that we're all Americans to some degree or other these days. And for some time now. The story of The Clash is as much a story of their American success as their impact in the UK, after all. And I'm no different. There's a huge American flavour to my favourite music and my favourite movies. And my favourite book is Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, the subject of Archive on 4 on Radio 4 on Saturday night. American academic and author Sarah Churchwell went on a deep dive into the language, meaning and symbolism of the novel and came up with answers that included Kantian philosophy, broken clocks and seismographs and the idea that the book is an anti-love story. 'It's a great cure for romance, The Great Gatsby,' the late Christopher Hitchens argued in one of the archive clips. 'Lovers do not give each other copies of The Great Gatsby.' In passing, the programme was also an account of the book's growing reputation over the years. In 1940, the year F Scott Fitzgerald died, aged just 44, there were seven copies of the book sold. Not a misprint. Seven. 'My God, I am a forgotten man,' Fitzgerald told his wife Zelda in his last years. 'He could hardly have imagined that today the novel sells over 500,000 copies annually,' Churchill noted. I still have my Penguin 1981 paperback edition with its green spine and a sticker telling me I bought it in the NUU bookshop - on Coleraine's New University of Ulster campus - a few weeks before I moved to Scotland. It remains one of my most cherished possessions. Best radio anecdote of the week? Maybe that was Elaine Paige recounting her experience of appearing naked onstage in the late 1960s musical Hair Elaine Paige (Image: PA) 'I was a bit of a wimp about it as I remember,' Paige admitted on Zoe Ball Meets Elaine Paige on Sunday afternoon on Radio 2. 'I had a friend in the show called Gary Hamilton and he was tall, dark and handsome. And he said to me, 'We'll stand at the back and I'll hold your hand for moral support.' 'We had to disrobe under this sort of mesh sheeting thing and then given the right moment we had to stand up as we did in our birthday suits. And I tell you the shock of standing onstage stark naked was such that I reached out to grab hold of his hand, only to find it wasn't his hand I was holding.' Listen Out For: Don Black, Boom Radio, Monday, 8pm The legendary lyricist (Diamonds Are Forever, Born Free) was last heard on Radio 2 back in 2020. Now 86, he returns to the role of the DJ on Boom Radio. Expect to hear Matt Monro and Frank Sinatra and a few choice anecdotes no doubt.
