This film is based on the short story The Wicker Husband by Ursula Wills-Jones, and here’s what it has in store according to its official synopsis:

“On the outskirts of a village by the sea, lives a Fisherwoman (Colman); smelly, single, and perpetually ridiculed. One day, fed up with her stuffy, small-minded neighbors, she commissions herself a husband to be made from wicker (Dev Patel). In an otherwise conservative town, this unconventional romance sparks outrage, jealousy, and chaos.”

Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson co-wrote the script, and they’ll also direct this film, while Topic Studios and Tango will be in charge of financing and producing it.

The Oscar-winner Colman starred in TV shows Great Expectations and Secret Invasion earlier this year, and we’ll soon get to see her in Wonka alongside Timothée Chalamet. As for Patel, he most recently appeared in several of Wes Anderson’s short films based on Roald Dahl’s short stories, including The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.

The Oscar-winner Colman is joining the threequel as the Reverend Mother, a nun who runs the Home for Retired Bears, while Banderas and Zegler will portray Hunter and Gina Cabot, a dashing riverboat captain and his daughter who offer to help the Browns during their adventure in Peru.

As for Mortimer, she’ll replace Sally Hawkins in the role of Mrs. Brown, after “The Shape of Water” actress decided to exit the franchise. The rest of the original cast members are in talks to return, including Hugh Bonneville, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent, Madeleine Harris, Samuel Joslin, and Imelda Staunton, along with Ben Wishaw as the voice of Paddington.

Paddington In Peru was announced six years after the release of the second film in the franchise, and it will see our favorite bear return to Peru to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy. The Brown Family will join him on this thrilling adventure, which will take them everywhere from the Amazon rainforest to the mountain peaks of Peru. Dougal Wilson is coming on board as a director, taking the reins from Paul King, who directed the first two films.

This amazing quartet is just the latest addition to the cast of Wonka, also set to include Timothée Chalamet and Keegan-Michael Key. The rest of the supporting cast has also been announced, and it will feature Mathew Baynton, Tom Davis, Simon Farnaby, Rakhee Thakrar, and Natasha Rothwell, among others.

Wonka is being directed by Paul King, and it will tell the story of a young Willy Wonka, prior to the opening of his world’s most famous chocolate factory. The highly-anticipated musical is set to open in theaters on March 17th, 2023.

Olivia Colman, who is currently starring in Netflix royal drama The Crown is set to lead HBO and Sky drama Landscapers.

The true-crime four-part limited series will explore the lives of convicted killers Christopher and Susan Edwards (Colman). Per The Hollywood Reporter, the role of Christopher has yet to be cast.

Landscapers will be directed by Alexander Payne from a script by Colman’s husband, Ed Sinclair. Per HBO, the series is based on “hours of interviews with the real-life figures behind the crime who have always maintained their innocence.”

“I love Ed’s scripts, which is just as well as he cooks many of my meals. No, the truth is it’s quite rare to be desperate to play a part on the first reading of a script, but that was the case here,” Colman said in a statement.

The forthcoming crime drama hails from HBO and Sky, the team behind the Emmy award-winning series Chernobyl.

The Oscar-winning actress will play convicted killer Susan alongside convicted killer Christopher Edwards who has yet to be cast. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the drama will question how the devoted and mild-mannered couple came to kill Susan’s parents in 1998 and bury them in the back garden of their home in Nottingham, England, in a crime that remained undiscovered for over a decade before their convictions and jailing in 2014.

Alexander Payne will direct the four-part limited series inspired by real events. Ed Sinclair penned the screenplay based on hours of interviews with the real-life figures. 

“I love Ed’s scripts, which is just as well as he cooks many of my meals. No, the truth is it’s quite rare to be desperate to play a part on the first reading of a script, but that was the case here,” Colman said in a statement. 

Colman currently stars as Queen Elizabeth II on Netflix’s The Crown.

The X-Files and Sex Education star will play the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in season 4 of Netflix’s royal drama. The soon premiering Season 3 chronicles the British royal family from the mid-’60s to the mid-’70s with Season 4 covering the decade thereafter. 

“She’s amazing,” says Colman who took over the role of Queen Elizabeth II from Claire Foy. “The moment she opened her mouth in the read-through, you could feel everyone wanting to do a little silent ‘Yay!’ Because she was so brilliant.”

Season 3 of The Crown also stars Helena Bonham Carter, Tobias Menzies, Ben Daniels, and Charles Dance.

Netflix dropped a teaser trailer for season three of The Crown Friday giving fans more Colman as Queen Elizabeth. 

The trailer features the Queen as well as several of her advisors assessing a new portrait of the monarch. 

“Everyone is delighted with the new profile, ma’am, which they feel to be an elegant reflection of Her Majesty’s transition from young woman to…, Old bat?,” the Queen cuts one of her advisors off. 

He corrects her: “Settled sovereign… just the tiniest changes.”

“A great many changes. Nothing one can do about it, one just has to get on with it,” she then declares.

Colman took over as Queen Elizabeth II from Claire Foy. Tobias Menzies took over the role of the Duke of Edinburgh from Matt Smith and Helena Bonham Carter took over as Princess Margaret from Vanessa Kirby.

Season 3 of The Crown will launch November 17 on Netflix.

Olivia Colman, who plays Queen Elizabeth II in the forthcoming third season of Netflix’s The Crown says that she’d be more than happy to take part in a 007 adventure. 

Colman recently starred alongside actress and writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge in Fleabag. Waller-Bridge is also working on the script for the currently untitled 25th Bond movie. The actress told Entertainment Tonight, that she was not at all shy to use her connections to land a part in the spy franchise.

“Oh, trust me, I’ve tried! I’ve asked!” Olivia said of her hopes for Waller-Bridge to write her a role in the film.

Considering that it worked for Colman the first time she asked Waller-Bridge to write a role for her, who knows, maybe Her Majesty will join the suave spy one more time!

That’s right, another A-lister has lent their voice to The Simpsons. This time it was Academy Award-winner and star of Netflix’s acclaimed drama The Crown, Olivia Colman. And apparently, it’s one of the best guest appearances ever on the show. 

The news was first announced by executive producer James L. Brooks. He took to Twitter Friday writing: “Just this second came from recording one of the best guest appearances in Simpson’s history. No kidding, I am flying.”

He added that Colman gave voice to “the most down home femme fatal(e) ever who attracts every man she’s ever met but falls hard, harder than she ever imagined, for Homer Simpson.”

Colman joins guest appearance by John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Jason Momoa, Bob Odenkirk, John Mulaney, and Jane Goodall. 

The Simpsons returns September 29.

Moffatt’s guest episodes were such a hit with audiences that he was offered the position of primary writer and showrunner after Russel T Davis left the show in 2011. While some fans stood by the Doctor in his Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi eras, others were not as impressed with the series as it went on.

From crayon coloured daleks and a gawdy Tardis makeover, there is one thing which Moffatt regrets above all else. He did not write a better character for Olivia Colman.

Steven said: “In my first series there was Olivia Colman… just a heartbeat before she was stratospheric. I think, ‘Oh we wasted that, didn’t we!’ Bloody hell.”

The Oscar nominee played a mother in the episode “The Eleventh Hour”. She didn’t do much other than utter empty threats and was actually miscredited in the end credits as “Olivia Coleman”.

Now, the actress is heavily tipped to win an Oscar for her role in The Favourite. Her phenomenal performance is literally worlds apart from her sharp-toothed generic monster from Doctor Who. No wonder Moffatt is having regrets!
