And Just Like That there is a second Swinton on the scene with young Alexa storming the screen
The young cousin of Oscar-winning star Tilda Swinton is making a return to the small screen this week in the third season of the spin-off from US drama Sex and the City. Alexa Swinton bagged the role as the daughter of Charlotte York, played by Kristin Davis, and joined the HBO Max show And Just Like That as a 12-year-old in 2021. New York-born Alexa has Canadian, Scottish and Russian-Jewish heritage and is a distant cousin of Scots actress Tilda, known for her multiple roles including the White Witch in The Chronicles of Narnia. Despite her young age, 15-year-old Alexa has been active in the film scene for more than a decade – she made her first appearance as a three-year-old in the operatic, experimental movie River of Fundament. In the original Sex and the City series, Charlotte York had two daughters, Lily and Rose, with Alexa cast as the latter when the spin-off first hit the screens four years ago. In the latest instalment, her role has evolved into playing the part of a nonbinary teen, Rock. Last year, as she and her onscreen mother filmed in New York, Ms Davis posted a snap, captioned: 'A family affair #andjustlikethat.' The series has also seen the return of Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw and Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes.

Tilda Swinton and Director David Lowery Team Up for Whodunnit Thriller DEATH IN HER HANDS — GeekTyrant
Tilda Swinton and director David Lowery are joining forces for a new film that sounds eerie, cerebral, and totally unclassifiable. The movie is titled Death in Her Hands , and it's based on Ottessa Moshfegh's 2020 novel. It's the latest project from See-Saw Films, the same outfit behind The Power of the Dog and The King's Speech , and it tells a very unique whodunnit story. Swinton plays Vesta Gul, 'a woman striving to take control of her own story' and she comes across a chilling handwritten note in the woods near her home: 'Her name was Magda. Nobody will ever know who killed her. It wasn't me. Here is her dead body.' 'Except there is no body. No blood. Unmoored by the death of her husband and armed only with a camera, her dog Charlie, and her vivid imagination, Vesta becomes obsessed with uncovering Magda's identity and fate. 'As her inner world begins to eclipse reality, the mystery of Magda threatens Vesta's grip on her own life – until, in a spellbinding operatic climax, we realize that Magda's death may finally allow Vesta to live.' David Lowery, best known for genre-bending films like The Green Knight , A Ghost Story , and The Old Man & the Gun , is writing and directing. He said in a statement: 'I am a devoted fan of Ottessa Moshfegh, and the opportunity to translate Death In Her Hands to the big screen has been, in some ways, a subterfuge for getting to spend a great deal of time obsessing over her prose. But now the ruse is up! 'The script begot by the novel will soon become a film, and I am suddenly aware more than ever that adapting this particular work represents a devious challenge (anyone who's read the novel will understand why)! 'But I'm ready for it, and am emboldened to have such wonderful collaborators at my side: the whole team at See-Saw, Jeanie, and of course, the incredible Tilda Swinton, who I know will illuminate Ottessa's story in ways I could only dream of.' Swinton, as usual, feels like the perfect choice. She's an actor who thrives on complexity, and knows how to walk that fine line between grounded human emotion and uncanny surrealism. Producers Iain Canning and Emile Sherman shared: 'David Lowery is a master of crafting striking, atmospheric stories, and there's no one better to bring Ottessa Moshfegh's haunting and brilliant novel to the screen. We can't wait for audiences to step into the world he creates and be swept away by Vesta's story, played by the incomparable, magnetic, and endlessly compelling Tilda Swinton.' Production is backed by See-Saw Films with Jeanie Igoe also producing, and Simon Gillis and Ann Phillips serving as executive producers. Swinton will next appear opposite Colin Farrell in Edward Berger's The Ballad of a Small Player . Meanwhile, Lowery continues his streak of projects that resist simple genre labels, instead offering something far weirder, richer, and more haunting.

Cool CONSTANTINE Poster Art Created By Artist Aurelio Lorenzo — GeekTyrant
Here's a cool poster art print for Keanu Reeve's classic 2005 DC movie Constantine . The art is a private commission created by artist Aurelio Lorenzo. It's a great peice for a great film! Constantine follows cynical exorcist and occult expert John Constantine, who has literally been to Hell and back. Born with the ability to see angels and demons on Earth, Constantine is damned to Hell for a past suicide attempt and spends his life banishing demons in hopes of earning redemption. When a skeptical LAPD detective, Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz), seeks his help to investigate her twin sister's mysterious suicide, they uncover a supernatural conspiracy involving a plot to unleash Hell on Earth led by the half-demon son of Satan, Mammon. As Constantine digs deeper, he faces off against demonic forces, corrupted angels, and his own impending death from terminal lung cancer. Constantine battles to stop Mammon's rise and Angela's possession while confronting the angel Gabriel ( Tilda Swinton ), who has allied with Hell in a twisted plan to punish humanity. Hopefully, DC Studios get that long awaited sequel off the ground!
