Matt Smith and Karen Gillan Just because The Doctor's companions are saying farewell, that doesn't mean Doctor Who's titular character will be going through a regeneration anytime soon. Doctor Who's Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill to exit series next season Following the news that Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, who play companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams, would exit the show after the upcoming season, 11th Doctor Matt Smith set the record straight on whether he'd be following them off the series. "No," he said on The Graham Norton Show's special holiday episode. "I am very happy to stay. I love it and love making the show."

Vaclav Havel dies at 75

Havel PRAGUE-- Vaclav Havel wove theater into revolution, leading the charge to silently bring lower communism in the regime he earned fun of as "Absurdistan" and showing the power of individuals to conquer totalitarian rule.Shy and bookish, getting a wispy mustache and ungroomed hair, the dissident playwright was an unlikely hero of Czechoslovakia's 1989 "Velvet Revolution" after 4 decades of imprisoning repression -- along with the epic struggle that ended the wider Cold War.He was his country's first democratically selected leader, leading it using the early challenges of democracy which is peaceful 1993 breakup to the Czech Republic and Slovakia, though his image experienced as his people discovered the lower sides of altering their society.A classic chain-smoker who had past chronic breathing problems dating back to his years in communist jails, Havel died Sunday morning at his weekend home inside the northern Czech Republic, his assistant Sabina Tancevova mentioned. His wife Dagmar together with a nun who had previously been being careful of him the ultimate handful of several days of his existence were by his side, she mentioned. He was 75."A great fighter for your freedom of nations too for democracy has died," mentioned Lech Walesa, the fellow anti-communist activist who founded neighboring Poland's Solidarity movement."It is a great pity together with an excellent loss. His outstanding voice of understanding will probably be missed," Walesa mentioned. "I am praying for your peace of his soul."Among his many honors were Sweden's exclusive Olof Palme Prize as well as the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the finest U.S. civilian award, presented on him by Leader George W. Rose rose bush to become "among liberty's great heroes."An avowed peacenik whose heroes incorporated rockers for instance Frank Zappa, he never quite shed his flower-child past and sometimes signed his title getting a little heart just like a flourish."Truth and love must prevail over lies and hate," Havel infamously mentioned. It increased being his revolutionary motto they mentioned he always strove to reside in by."It's interesting that we had an adventurous existence, even though I am no adventurer by character. It absolutely was fate and history that triggered my existence being adventurous rather than me as someone who seeks adventure," he once told Czech radio, in the typically modest comment.Havel first developed a status for themselves following a 1968 Soviet-introduced invasion that crushed the Prague Spring reforms of Alexander Dubcek together with other liberally minded communists using what wound up being Czechoslovakia.Havel's plays were banned as hard-card inserts installed by Moscow snuffed out every whiff of rebellion. But he ongoing to produce, creating numerous undercover essays that stand while using work of Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov since the most incisive and eloquent analyses from the products communism did to society as well as the individual.Among his best-known essays, "The Power as well as the Powerless" developed in 1978, given slyly within the immortal opening kind of the mid-1800s Communist Manifesto, writing: "A specter is haunting eastern Europe: the threat of the items within the civilized world is called 'dissent.'"Inside the essay, he dissected what he referred to as "dictatorship of ritual" -- the ossified Soviet bloc system under Leonid Brezhnev -- and imagined what continues when an regular greengrocer stops showing communist slogans and begins "residing in reality," rediscovering "his hidden identity and dignity."Havel understood that suppression firsthand.Born March. 5, 1936, in Prague, the little one from the wealthy family which lost extensive property to communist nationalization in 1948, Havel was declined an effective education, eventually producing a qualification throughout the evening school and from theater just like a stagehand.His political activism began in serious within the month of the month of january 1977, when he co-written an individuals rights manifesto Charter 77, as well as the cause came widening attention within the civilized world.Havel was detained numerous occasions and spent four years in communist jails. His letters from prison to his wife increased being among his best-known works. "Letters to Olga" combined deep philosophy getting a stream of stern advice for the spouse he saw as his mentor and nearest friend, and who tolerated his reputed philandering together with other mistakes.The occasions of August 1988 -- the 20th anniversary in the Warsaw Pact invasion -- first suggested that Havel and also the pals might eventually replace the faceless apparatchiks who jailed them.thousands of mostly youthful people marched through central Prague, yelling Havel's title which in the playwright's hero, Tomas Garrigue Masaryk, the philosopher who was simply Czechoslovakia's first leader after it absolutely was founded in 1918.Havel's arrest within the month of the month of january 1989 at another street protest and also the subsequent trial created anger fitness center abroad. Pressure for change am strong the communists released him again in May.That fall, communism began to interrupt lower across Eastern Europe, too as with November the Berlin Wall fell. Eight days later, communist police very separate an exhibit by thousands of Prague students.It absolutely was the signal that Havel and also the country had anticipated. Within 48 several hours, a comprehensive new opposition movement was founded, together with each day later, hundreds of thousands of Czechs and Slovaks needed for the streets.In three heady days, communist rule was broken. Mick Jagger as well as the Moving Gems turned up similar to the Soviet military was departing. Posters in Prague introduced: "The tanks are leaving -- the Gems are relocating.InchOn 12 ,. 29, 1989, Havel was selected Czechoslovakia's leader with the country's still-communist parliament. 72 hrs later, he told the nation in the public New Year's address: "From gifted and sovereign people, the regime made us little screws in the monstrously large, rattling and stinking machine."Although he ongoing being regarded as like a moral voice while he decried the flaws of his society under democracy, he eventually bent for the dictates of convention and. His watchwords -- "just what the heart thinks, the tongue talks" -- must be modified for day-to-day politics.Within This summer time 1992, it increased being apparent the Czechoslovak federation was vulnerable to a split. Considering it a person failure, Havel resigned as leader.But he ongoing to become popular and was selected leader in the new Czech Republic uncontested.He was small, but his presence and wit could fill a place. Even late around, he maintained a specific impishness and boyish grin, shifting easily from philosophy to jokes or common Prague gossip.In December 1996, just 11 several days after his first wife, Olga Havlova, died of cancer, he lost another of his right lung throughout surgery to eliminate a 15-millimeter (half-inch) malignant tumor.He put within the towel smoking and married Dagmar Veskrnova, a dashing actress almost 2 decades his junior.Holding a publish of immense prestige but little energy, Havel's attempts to reconcile rival people in politics were considered by many people people as unconstitutional utilizes, and also the pleas for political leaders to create a "social society" based on respect, tolerance and individual responsibility went largely not-clarified.Media critique, once unthinkable, increased being unwavering. Serious newspapers requested his political visions tabloids focused mainly on his private existence and also the fancy second wife.Havel left office in 2003, 10 years after Czechoslovakia separate and basically several days before both nations grew to become an associate from the Eu. He was credited with relaxing the work that introduced his Czech Republic to the 27-nation bloc in 2004, and was leader if the grew to become an associate of NATO in 1999.Balance of office, the diminutive Havel ongoing to become a global figure. He was part of the "new Europe" -- inside the coinage of then-U.S. Defense Secretary Jesse Rumsfeld -- of ex-communist nations which was up for your U.S. when the democracies of "old Europe" opposed the 2003 Iraq invasion.Havel was nominated several occasions for your Nobel Peace Prize, and collected a lot of other accolades worldwide for his efforts just like a global ambassador of conscience, defended the downtrodden from Darfur to Myanmar.Inside an October 2008 interview while using Connected Press, Havel rebuked Russia for entering Georgia two several days earlier, and informed EU leaders against appeasing Moscow."We have to not turn a blind eye ... It's a large test for your West," he mentioned.Havel also mentioned he saw the world and European economic crisis just like a warning not to abandon fundamental human values inside the scramble to achieve success.InchIt's a warning against the notion that we know the world, that we believe how everything works," he told the AP at work in Prague. The cramped work space was filled with his books, plays and rock memorabilia.Havel themselves acknowledged that his handling of domestic issues never matched up up his flair for foreign matters. However, if the Czech Republic grew to become an associate of NATO as well as the EU his dreams came true."I am unable to stop rejoicing that Home is this time around around and could be a part of it," Havel exulted.At the beginning of 2008, Havel returned to his first love: happens. He launched a completely new play, "Departing," in regards to the struggles from the leader on his solution of office, as well as the work acquired critical acclaim.Theater, he told the AP, used to be more his major interest."My return to the stage wasn't easy," he mentioned.

Kenneth Branagh feted at BAFTA

BranaghLONDON -- Kenneth Branagh, who received the Variety Award at the British Independent Film Awards on Sunday, took a break from filming the third series of detective series "Wallander" recently to attend a career tribute at BAFTA. Asked if this would be the last series of the BBC show he said, "The audience decides." He added that there were two Wallander books, "The Troubled Man" and "The White Lioness," that hadn't been adapted by the BBC yet, so a fourth series was in the cards. Looking back at his career, Branagh made frequent references to the career of Laurence Olivier, to whom he has been compared and who he plays in his latest pic, "My Week with Marilyn." The film focuses on the period when Olivier was shooting "The Prince and the Showgirl" with Marilyn Monroe, when Olivier was at a turning point in his career. "It was a kind of mid-life crisis for him," Branagh said. "He was looking to Marilyn to renew him, to associate him with the new and the youthful, the vigorous and the sexy." Branagh said that as well as getting the look of Olivier right, with the use of a prosthetic chin with the distinctive cleft, he had also worked hard to get the voice right. Branagh listened to Olivier's readings from the Bible, for example. "He was one of those people who was very quiet when he wanted people's attention, so people would learn forward. He had complete command over his voice," he said.Branagh said that Olivier's true personality was an enigma to many who worked with him. "He was a chameleon actor. So in the course of any one day people like Mr. (Anthony) Hopkins and Mr. (Derek) Jacobi, who both worked with him extensively, would say he'd be many, many parts, all of them wonderful. But (John) Gielgud used to say of him that it was sometimes hard to find the man himself."Branagh noted the changes in film production technology from his first film as a director, 1989's "Henry V," when he did not have video assist, so he didn't have playback, to this year's 3D pic "Thor," with its extensive use of special effects. "It was exhausting in the way nothing else has been, and stimulating in a quite a different way," he said. "It was ludicrously exciting to walk on set on the first day, even though your heart is a-pounding." Contact Leo Barraclough at leo.barraclough@variety.com

REVIEW: Theron, Reitman and Cody Mix For Stark, Sublime Youthful Adult

I don’t pretend to become feminist in addition to understand feminism beyond accepting the fundamental concept of gender equality. That has always made an appearance straightforward enough, no matter the vagaries and complications apparent in myriad cultural good good examples from Bachmann Desired to Margaret Cho to Diablo Cody, the stripper-switched-scribe whose three produced scripts so far — Juno, Jennifer’s Body which week’s Youthful Adult — constitute numerous contemporary cinema’s rangier ruminations on feminism. Or otherwise a few things i think is feminism. Not to be reductive, either. Reteaming Cody with Juno director Jason Reitman, Youthful Adult offers intriguing perspectives about plenty of subjects: The difficulties of nostalgia the mythology of middle age crises the requirement for community as well as the futility of self-loathing come immediately inside your ideas — while not extended just before your brain hurtles towards the continuity of Cody’s women. Much has furthermore been disseminated and spoken about in regards to the film author’s leap into “maturity” here, as though purchasing and selling the infamously pulsing patois and quirk of Juno and Jennifer’s Body for your clipped, unfettered cruelty of Youthful Adult signifies some form of creative enlightenment. It'll create a great speaking point, I am in a position to’t lie. But ultimately, it’s all a distraction within the central struggle of Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron), whose journey from strong-willed, middle-class Minnesotan to homecoming full to uneasy youthful bride to pseudonymous novelist and booze-bleeding urban waster is less a trajectory when compared to a bold underscore beneath the question: Let us say feminism means obtaining the liberty to fuck up? I realize, I realize: Define “fuck up.” The reason behind Youthful Adult — the objective of all Cody’s heroines, really, who both endure and perpetrate functions of social alienation, romantic predation, emotional abuse, sexual violence, in addition to ritual murder. These women are products from the atmosphere only insofar as they may be, just like the problem of Jennifer’s Body, inside the wrong devote the incorrect time. (Clearly, Megan Fox’s character looked for that incorrect place, but that’s another story altogether.) In Mavis, we're faced having a lady virtually possessed by her ease of agency. Reitman, Cody and Theron hone this relief starting with drawing her within periodic inertia: a diet plan Coke-swigging, Kardashian-peeping youthful-adult novelist in Ontario with no factor to demonstrate on her behalf pending deadline. Only following a few daily cycles from the will she argue she was triggered to action, talking about a grainy picture of her high-school sweetheart’s baby getting a buddy, evaluating its receipt in the bulk e-mail to have an act of war by mentioned sweetheart’s wife. The friend’s glassy-eyed takeaway reflects Mavis’s true instinct in the viewer, who looks on as Mavis flees the aftermath from the one-evening will drive to her suburban hometown of Mercury, Minn. Her mission: To reunite with Buddy (Patrick Wilson), the sweetheart and new father who may have become away inside their flannel-swaddled adolescence. Hardly an inhospitable habitat round the tundra, Mercury nevertheless welcomes its onetime darling back getting a tableau of huge-box stores and chain restaurants that return Mavis’s wary sneers. She resists its ordinariness each and every turn, repel costly hotels clerk who inquires in regards to the toy dog wriggling in their purse, slurping lower mid-tier bourbon and faking Rim messages rather than build associations the dive-bar residents. Incorporated within this, however, she meets Matt (Patton Oswalt), an erstwhile classmate whose crippling beating Mavis only recalls because of Matt being the mark of especially vicious homophobes. Much less he’s really gay — among Mavis’s many anticipation that fall away as her impulses attune for the stark, quiet mechanics from the community they not only didn’t avoid, but who've really passed her by. Ugliness evolves. Mavis non-stop puts the progresses Buddy, humiliates his wife Jesse (Elizabeth Reaser), evades her parents, and torments Matt’s confidence. The film drags and sulks into its climax, which comprises three moments that hone Youthful Adult’s perspective with the idea to a bracingly honest or suicidally smug point. You select: It culminates with Mavis obtaining a confessor in Matt’s sister Sandra (carried out enchantingly by Collette Wolfe, matching Theron note for note), and what continues next needs to date has tended to galvanize the film’s competitors and embolden its supporters. For your record (and review reasons, I suppose), I’m among the latter. Youthful Adult might be the to start Reitman’s films which i haven’t felt him choking out an email ironically, its rawness yields the humanity he thought he was wringing from Up up particularly, which got nowhere by assaying only the effect and not the reason behind various recession-era ruthlessness. He and Cody have switched that rock over, with Theron doing the impossibly heavy-lifting of making a girl inclined to envy, irresponsibility and condescension in some manner worth our a while and interest — mostly because this film is specific inside a generation to whom all Mavis’s pitch-dark compulsions should never be definately not a unique. Indeed, it’s easy to resent Mavis due to not acting better — for delivering unthinkable malevolence around the populace that can't or will not defend itself for reasons unknown — to be able to dismiss Cody and Reitman as simply charlatans hamfistedly bending the sun's rays in the zeitgeist. But keeping Youthful Adult’s large reveal in your head, the look ultimately forces people around Mavis — both onscreen and off — to reconcile whatever they will and won’t tolerate in the lady. Enjoy it or hate it, this really is really the ethical root note famous Cody’s build up to now. Formerly muddled inside the cultural noise of Oscar season or possibly a number one lady’s intransigence (discuss not receiving the freedom to fuck up!), that challenge synchronizes today using the type of We must Discuss Kevin and Sleeping Beauty — other wonderful new work about girls that face the deeply uncomfortable results of repel expectation. But simply what does it mean? And why now? Maybe it’s a sheer thematic coincidence one of the chorus of movies featuring boys acting badly, strongly, childishly, or even the 3. But from what Let me tell, It’s much more likely — even beneath the spiritual pall of Youthful Adult — that Cody and her peers guiding us onto a frontier high’s nothing left to accomplish but listen. Ready or else, in addition to gentlemen, it’s time. Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
