John Cusack has an interesting mixed history when it comes to Stephen King adaptations. To date, he has starred in three films based on the author’s stories, and there is a broad scale when it comes to quality. In 1986 he had a supporting role in Rob Reiner’s Stand By Me, which is unquestionably one of the greatest Stephen King movies of all time; and 30 years later he starred in Tod Williams’ Cell, which is unquestionably one of the worst (my column about that one is on schedule for September).

Right in the middle of the pack, though, is Mikael Håfström’s 1408: a solid, albeit mostly forgettable one-man show for the star.

Released in theaters on June 22, 2007, it’s one of the biggest Stephen King box office hits ever released, having made $133 million worldwide. 1408 is one of Hollywood’s greatest successes making a feature based on King short story – though it took some extra work to get finished, as test audience reactions resulted in two alternate endings being shot in addition to what’s featured in the theatrical cut. With that kind of complex history, it’s a fun study for this week’s Adapting Stephen King.

For British model of Moroccan heritage Nora Attal and director/photographer Victor Bastidas, love came by chance, as it often does, on a day when the duo least expected it. “​We first met on location, at the Samode Palace in Jaipur, India with Mario Testino, Anastasia Barberi and Charlotte Tilbury,” says the model, whose face has become a fashion mainstay thanks to her vibrant career, which has seen her working with every brand from Gucci and Chanel to Stella McCartney, Etro and MaxMara. “But it wasn’t until years later in London that we connected. It was music that connected us, Thom York to be precise.”

On May 26, Ray Liotta passed away at the age of 67, and celebrities like Seth Rogen and Jamie Lee Curtis paid tribute to him soon afterwards. Days after his passing, Liotta’s fiancée, Jacy Nittolo, went on social media to honor the man she intended to marry, calling him “most beautiful person inside and out” she’d ever known. Now Martin Scorsese, who directed Liotta in 1990’s Goodfellas, has penned his own heartfelt tribute to the actor.

While Ray Liotta put together an impressive body of movie and TV work over his 40+ years of acting, ranging from his time on Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner to starring alongside Jennifer Lopez in the NBC series Shades of Blue, he was arguably best known for playing Henry Hill in Goodfellas, which co-starred Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. In an op-ed he wrote for The Guardian, Martin Scorsese recounted the story behind how Liotta was selected to star in Goodfellas, noting how the part required someone who could be “disarming,” “dangerous” and “vulnerable.” Looking back, Scorsese realized he wanted Liotta to play Henry after meeting him at The Last Temptation of Christ’s world premiere in Venice, and then the filmmaker showered the following praise onto the late actor:

What does one wear to serenade the Queen, her nation and Paddington Bear? It’s a fashion conundrum Celeste had to ponder ahead of the Party at the Palace on 4 June. The British-Jamaican soul singer’s first port of call was Dior, a house synonymous with modern femininity and the classic elegance the occasion called for. Working with creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, she landed on a red pleated dress from the autumn/winter 2022 collection owing to its quiet poeticism. “To me, this dress is the rose petal – the fabric softly reminds you it’s there, but it doesn’t wear me. I feel like myself, it is like perfume on the skin,” says the 28-year-old, who sang Louis Armstrong’s 1960s classic “What A Wonderful World” for her Platinum Jubilee performance.

Sun-soaked days spent at the beach, a local park or simply in your back garden are made even better by a good beach cover-up. If there’s one piece of clothing that will take you from dawn to dusk as you embrace the heatwave, an effortless, throw-on cover-up is it. Equal parts comfortable, stylish and versatile, they will always – quite literally – have you covered this summer.

Former actress Cameron Diaz has a whole new lease on herself and her new life away from the cameras. Ever since her retirement from acting in 2018, she’s been promoting her new wine brand and being a loving mother to her daughter. Having been known as a s*x symbol in Hollywood, Cameron Diaz opened up about turning 50 at the end of the summer and one thing she really wants for her daughter.

Aging can seem like a scary concept as an actress when you’re used to audiences speaking of your appearance in high praise. Well, there's beauty in growing old as well, as it's a natural process of life. Cameron Diaz is embracing her aging as she spoke with Goop about how excited she was about turning 50 and the moment she wanted to have with her two-year-old daughter:

Pinocchio was the second animated feature film from Walt Disney, and one of its songs, "When You Wish Upon a Star," has become the the theme song for the entire company, so it's almost surprising that it's taken this long for the puppet with no strings to get the live action remake treatment. The first trailer for the Disney+ movie is now here, and it looks absolutely lovely, but something is oddly missing. Check it out above.

With the exception of a brief shot of Pinocchio's arm, and then his hat, seen when our focus is actually on Cynthia Erivo as the Blue Fairy, the title character isn't actually seen in the trailer. Tom Hanks has the only dialogue and while we see plenty of CGI Jiminy Cricket, and even other puppets, there's no Pinocchio here.

It would be one thing of the movie really wanted to hide the character from us, keep us from seeing what this version of Pinocchio will look like, and hold that for some later trailer release, but we've seen him. We've seen the new Pinocchio in still images, so we know he looks nearly identical to his animated original self.
