Charlotte Rampling
Charlotte Rampling was at the international Film Festival Rotterdam this week for the screening of Andrea Pallor’s Hannah.
In an interview with Screen International, she reflected on her work with Luchino Visconti and Woody Allen; spoke of her continuing pride in The Night Porter, expressed regret over her controversial remarks about the lack of black nominees in the 2016 Oscars, and explained why she didn’t want to discuss the #MeToo Movement.
Rampling again expressed her regret over “racist to whites” comments two years ago on an early morning radio show during the promotion campaign for 45 Years, for which she was nominated for an Oscar. “It was very early in the morning and everyone was asking questions about that.

The film producer wanted on fraud charges was arrested in Spain following a chase, according to media reports.
Reports have surfaced that runaway film producer Felix Vossen (I, Anna, The Sweeney), who is accused of committing a multi-million pound fraud against a group of investors, has been caught in Europe.
According to The Telegraph, Vossen was captured by a police patrol in Valencia, Spain, in February, before being extradited to Zurich where he faces fraud charges running into tens of millions of dollars.
Spanish officers conducting a routine patrol spotted Vossen “acting suspiciously” and, after a brief chase, the former financier-producer was apprehended and searched.
At Vossen’s apartment in Spain, the reports said police discovered numerous identity papers, as well as large sums of cash in different currencies, multiple lap-tops and mobile phones and hundreds of grams of a drug believed to be cocaine.
Vossen was last seen in March 2015. Reports then emerged that a group...

Fears are growing over the whereabouts of UK film producer Felix Vossen, 41, who disappeared three months ago.

Nicolas Winding Refn became a real commodity real fast, though his immense talent as a filmmaker more than explains a) why this happened and b) why we care. He does, however, have his name on one project that we haven’t paid much attention to: the British remake of his debut, 1996′s gritty crime film Pusher. Directed by Luis Prieto and executive produced by the original creator himself, Pusher follows the same story as its original, wherein a drug dealer has to pay back a kingpin after screwing up a job. This time, in England.
Production wrapped sometime in the last month, and Deadline reports that The Weinstein Company has — through their new outlet, Radius — picked up American rights to the picture.
