A high-profile fashion event in Barcelona’s iconic Park Guell turned into a scene of chaos and violence as police clashed with protestors who had gathered to voice their opposition to the use of the public space for a private show.
The Louis Vuitton Cruise 2025 collection launch, attended by a star-studded guest list that included Sophie Turner, Ana de Armas and Emma Stone, was the target of days of protests by locals who accused the organizers of “privatizing” the historic park. As the fashion elite gathered inside, baton-wielding police officers faced off against hundreds of demonstrators outside in a confrontation that quickly escalated.
Footage from the scene showed protestors being beaten by the police while some in the crowd retaliated by throwing projectiles. The protests included a parody fashion show, with demonstrators strutting down a makeshift catwalk in the street, one wearing a black coat emblazoned with the slogan “Acab...

Exclusive: Mrs Wilson producer Snowed-In Productions has hired Victoria Fea, the former ITV commissioner who co-founded Longboat Pictures.
Fea joins Snowed-In as an executive producer in June, reporting to CEO Ruth Kenley-Letts. Her appointment follows the departure of Jenny van der Lande to Big Talk Studios.
Snowed-In is behind projects including Itvx’s upcoming Sophie Turner series Joan and Mrs Wilson, the BBC’s Ruth Wilson drama. It also made The Midwich Cuckoos for Sky.
Fea said Snowed-In had a reputation for “classy” television, while Kenley-Letts paid tribute to van der Lande’s tenure at the company.
Longboat Changes
Fea’s exit from Longboat follows an ownership change at the production company she co-founded in 2019 with Julie Anne Robinson, a director who has worked on Doctor Who and Bridgerton.
Sky exited Longboat last year after taking a 25% stake in the company in 2020. Longboat is now wholly owned by The Story Collective,...

Let’s not beat around the bush; Marvel’s going through something right now. The superhero studio’s recent output has simply exhausted both casual and hardcore fans alike.
The sentiment appears to be close to universal too: amidst the avalanche of MCU content, there have been too few hits and too many misses. The fact that Bob Iger, Disney’s Chief Executive Officer, has publicly said that they’re going to change strategy and “slowly decrease volume” tells you everything you need to know.
So how does Marvel proceed from here? MCU mastermind Kevin Feige is seemingly planning to course-correct by re-assembling the Avengers sooner rather than later. Next year alone will see the release of Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, The Fantastic Four, and Blade, followed a few months later by a new Avengers—previously subtitled “The Kang Dynasty,” though that’s reportedly been abandoned.
It’s a sensible play.

“Game of Thrones" actress Sophie Turner, poses for the May 2024 issue of “Vogue” (UK) magazine, wearing Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton and Wales Bonner, photographed by Mikael Jansson:
"I don't really have a process," said Turner about her acting technique.
"I'm very much an in-the-moment actress. I suppose I just kind of wing it…
“…because I feel that as long as I know my character, I should be able to be spontaneous on set.
“I learn something new everyday about myself as an actor, my capabilities. How far I can stretch myself, throw out emotions I never knew I had…”

Simone Hicks plans to “dominate this season” when All American: Homecoming returns — but fresh footage from the upcoming episodes has us thinking the season might dominate her.
In the exclusive Season 3 trailer embedded above, Simone’s renewed determination on the tennis court quickly gives way to a potential injury (“Something’s off with my swing,” she worries aloud) and a seemingly formidable opponent from another university. Plus, Simone’s personal life seems similarly complicated: Although we briefly see her in bed with (presumably) one of her two suitors from last season’s cliffhanger, the conversation she’s having via voiceover — “I did what you asked.

Actress Sophie Turner, 28, opened up about the challenges of being a mother in the public eye and reflected on the media’s portrayal of her personal life after her split from husband Joe Jonas, 34.
Turner, a mother of two young daughters, Willa, 3, and Delphine, 1, shared her experience with the overwhelming pressure and the constant scrutiny she faces as a public figure in a candid interview with British Vogue.
In September 2022, Jonas filed for a dissolution of his and Turner’s four-year marriage in Miami, citing an “irretrievably broken” relationship. The couple had a prenuptial agreement in place. Turner later took legal action and alleged that Jonas was wrongfully retaining their daughters’ passports and preventing them from returning to England.
In response to claims that Jonas abducted their children, Jonas responded via his lawyer, who said Jonas wanted “shared parenting” of their children, and they were never “abducted.” The representative said,...

The CW announced its fall lineup Thursday, with the return of Superman & Lois, two new game shows based on classic board games and the new scripted entry Joan, a limited series starring Game of Thrones alum Sophie Turner, among others.
The lineup comes after Nexstar’s acquisition of the network in 2022, and amid a new focus of becoming profitable and reaching a broader audience. That, in turn, has led to fewer U.S.-produced scripted dramas and a need to be scrappy and cost-conscious, as the linear audience declines and many other broadcast networks, including The CW, are seeing the need to slash budgets.
In light of this, The CW has also leaned into the acquisition of secondary sports rights, game shows and new shows in which the network owns all rights worldwide and therefore can profit off of the programs on streaming, unlike with its legacy shows All American...

Hit scripted series Superman & Lois will return for its final season, and it’s the only pre-Nexstar era show currently on the schedule for next season. Canadian drama series Sullivan’s Crossing is also set to return. This means popular scripted dramas such as Walker, All American, and All American: Homecoming remain in limbo. None of those shows appear on the fall lineup and aren’t confirmed to return at midseason either. “No decisions have been made yet on those titles,” a network representative told TVLine.

Sophie Turner is breaking her silence about the days following her split from Joe Jonas in September 2023.
The actress sat down with British Vogue to discuss her upcoming series, Joan, the six-part ITV drama that follows the true story of Britain’s notorious jewel thief Joan Hannington. During the conversation, the Game of Thrones star got candid about her split from the Jonas brother and how much she was affected by the reports alleging she was a bad mother who liked to party.
“I mean, those were the worst few days of my life,” Turner told the publication. “I remember I was on set, I was contracted to be on set for another two weeks, so I couldn’t leave. My kids were in the States, and I couldn’t get to them because I had to finish Joan. And all these articles started coming out.”

Game of Thrones the television series officially ended in 2019. But the popularity of the show continues to this day. Both because of the original novels the show was based on, and the tv spinoffs still being produced today. The Game of Thrones fandom is a highly active one, especially on the internet.
This high level of engagement means the series is constantly being discussed and dissected. One site where such discussions take place frequently is Reddit, where netizens like to come up with fan theories regarding their favorite characters. Let’s take a look at a fan theory from six years ago made by a user over at the Game of Thrones subreddit regarding the true nature of the relationship between Sansa Stark and Sandor Clegane.

George R.R. Martin is yet to finish his fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire, despite its TV show adaptation Game of Thrones ending with a whimper in 2019. The HBO show’s final season received a divisive response with many fans and critics unimpressed with the direction it took. Some actors in the show have also publicly disowned the ending.
Martin’s novels were yet to be complete when seasons 7 and 8 of the show went in an independent direction. The author is still working on the sixth novel of the series titled The Winds of Winter, which will be the penultimate book. However, the writer mentioned that the ending of the books will differ from the controversial finale of the HBO show.

An epic fantasy show Game of Thrones that was keeping its fans close to the screen throughout its whole television run owes a significant portion of its fame not only to the competing plot based (partially) on George R. R. Martin’s book series, but also to the status of one of the most unhinged series ever made.
Though shockingly explicit scenes may have indeed drawn much more attention back then, the show’s no less epic sequel House of the Dragon is pretty much unlikely to go down the same road — and Game of Thrones’ disgusting moment is what we have to thank in this case.
Coming mostly from Martin’s books, the Game of Thrones’ plot nonetheless rarely shied away from its creators’ own ideas. Over the course of the years that the show was on air, all its main characters had their own ups and downs, but...

She was in a Quibi show called “Wilderness,” had a viral cameo in Netflix movie “Do Revenge,” and was part of the ensemble in the Max limited series “The Staircase.” But she hasn’t had a lead role in a prominent series of her own.

Game of Thrones fans obsessively watched the series to see who would end up on the Iron Throne. The conclusion to years of scheming and fighting was a controversial one to say the least.
However, we’re got a different question about the series to answer: Which star from the cast is the wealthiest with the highest estimated net worth?
HBO’s fantasy series is the sort of industry dominating, pop culture titan that comes around every so often and totally changes the game. And while the characters battled it out on the screen, the show made its stars rich in real life.
The show brought the world of Westeros to life straight from the pages of George R.R. Martin‘s A Song of Ice and Fire novels and became a breakaway hit that fans are still talking about many years after the grand finale.

House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones prequel series that debuted on HBO and Max in 2022 and is returning soon, focuses on House Targaryen, generations before the events of the original Game of Thrones series.
They are, of course, the ancestors of Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), one of the main characters on Game of Thrones, whose series-long plot was about wanting to recapture her family's throne.
While House of the Dragon focuses on that particular family, we did get occasional glimpses of other familiar houses in the first season of that show, including the Baratheons. Also, there are fleeting mentions of Houses such as Arryn and Stark.
While the members of House Stark were among the most important characters throughout Game of Thrones, none of the Starks were major characters In the first season of House of the Dragon.

Few shows have managed to achieve what Game of Thrones has. Over the years that it was on air, the show built itself a loyal fanbase who felt every emotion the characters felt. Game of Thrones established itself as a cultural phenomenon and gained followers throughout the globe. Not even the countless heartbreaking deaths in the show could turn its audience away.
Game of Thrones (2011-2019)One of the many things that Game of Thrones is known for, whether it’s the TV or the books, is its gruesome and hard-to-watch scenes. One scene that was a bit too much for the audience in particular was the one involving Ramsay Bolton and Sansa Stark on their wedding night in season five. We just unlocked horrible memories, didn’t we? Well, while the scene should have been difficult to film for Sophie Turner, the actress revealed that she actually enjoyed it.

Game of Thrones s*x scenes were always considered problematic, especially since several actors had opened up about the demeaning nature of them. However, the show crossed all lines with one particularly disgusting scene in Season 5 Episode 6. Sophie Turner’s Sansa Stark is subjected to brutal r*pe by her new husband, the sadistic Ramsay Bolton, in this episode. The scene was not only unwatchable but also problematic on multiple levels, prompting a fan outcry.
One Game of Thrones scene involving Sophie Turner’s Sansa Stark received widespread criticism from fans
The infamous ‘Black Wedding’ episode was not a part of George R.R. Martin’s original books. Sansa Stark had already been through enough trauma in the series and another torture/r*pe scene did not add anything to her character arc.

Famke Janssen is not sure what Marvel has planned for the X-Men saga but doesn’t shut the door on the idea of reprising her role of Jean Grey / Phoenix.
Janssen originated the X-Men role in the 2000 film and would go on to play the mutant in 2003’s X2 and 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand. The actress also made cameos in 2013’s The Wolverine and 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past.
“I don’t know. I mean, I didn’t expect to come back after dying as Jean Grey,” Janssen told ComicBook in an interview. “I came back as the Phoenix [The Last Stand], and I came back in flashback scenes in The Wolverine, and then in Days of Future Past.”
Janssen noted that reprising the role following the initial films “were all surprises that I never anticipated” and didn’t put past appearing in this year’s Deadpool & Wolverine,...

When you think of Storm, Halle Berry immediately comes to mind, and Patrick Stewart is synonymous with Charles Xavier. Famke Janssen, who played the iconic Jean Grey, remains the definitive live-action portrayal, even though Sophie Turner took on the role in later films.
As the release of ‘Deadpool 3’ approaches and rumors swirl about former X-Men characters returning for Deadpool’s MCU debut, fans can’t help but speculate if Famke will reprise her role as Jean Grey too.
The actress herself commented on the rumors in her interview with Screengeek.

Hannah Waddingham credits Game Of Thrones with transforming her career, but she didn’t love everything about filming the epic HBO series.
Waddingham played religious zealot Septa Unella in the Thrones franchise and featured in a torture scene, in which Cersei Lannister, played by Lena Headey, poured wine on her face.
She told The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that they filmed the scene for 10 hours and it was like being “actually waterboarded” in a quest for authenticity.
Waddingham said the scene was “horrific” and, five years on from the final season, she continues to have “chronic claustrophobia” as a result of her experience.
Waddingham said she had discussed the condition with Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss since filming had wrapped. “Thrones gave me something I wasn’t expecting,” she said.

When it comes to films and TV shows, no matter how exceptionally well they started, no matter how amazingly well they continued, if it doesn’t have an equally exceptional, or at least satisfactory conclusion, then it all comes crashing down. Game of Thrones being the perfect example.
This HBO series was such a groundbreaking and revolutionary piece of television entertainment that it completely changed what the silver screen stood for. But alas, due to a horrible last season, people remember it with more disappointment than reverence.

Naturally, it came as a shock to the audience as to how the co-creators of the show, David Benioff and D.B Weiss, could’ve missed the mark so badly, but it wasn’t a shock to them. In fact, they expected some amount of backlash from the fandom, but not to this extent.

No fandom has seen death quite like the fandom of Game of Thrones. Neither the widely popular television series nor the source material ever shied away from killing people left and right. While some deaths were too gut-wrenching to watch and made viewers shed some serious tears, others were quite satisfying to watch, to say the least.

It’s always good to see the bad guys finally pay the price of their actions with their lives. Bonus points if the death ends up being as gruesome as possible and Game of Thrones is no stranger to this. From Viserys Targaryen to Tywin Lannister, the series rewarded fans with some of the most satisfying deaths to have graced the television industry but which death did the Game of Thrones creators find to be the best amongst them all?
