The Power of the Dog’s Kirsten Dunst and Kodi Smit-McPhee earned their first Oscar nominations on Tuesday for their turns in the Jane Campion film, speaking with Deadline about its stellar reception and upcoming projects including the action epic Civil War, which the former is starring in for Alex Garland, and the Untitled Elvis Presley Project from Baz Luhrmann in which the latter shot a role.
While Dunst wouldn’t disclose specifics as to the story of Civil War, she shared that the film will enter production in Atlanta in March. And while Smit-McPhee admits he only has “a small part” in Luhrmann’s Elvis film, he said he took away from it the same “reward of being challenged” that he’d found on The Power of the Dog.
Dunst said that going forward, she’d “like to work with Paul Thomas Anderson,” with Smit-McPhee expressing an interest in...

Starz has unveiled a new photo from Ash vs Evil Dead, giving fans a new look at Lucy Lawless as Ruby Knowby in the upcoming horror comedy series.
Recently at Comic-Con, Lawless discussed her character in Ash vs Evil Dead:
"My character's name is Knowby, K-n-o-w-b-y. Professor Knowby was the original owner of the Necronomicon and she’s related to him. So, she's definitely carrying a big ass chip on her shoulder as to what Ash did to her family and the fact that he has begun a new Deadite plague now too.
She's absolutely gunning for him in a very obsessive way. Everything is all his fault, and she’s right to blame him."

After 25 years, Jeremy Paxman is quitting BBC Two's Newsnight.
No longer will we see politicians quaking in their boots, producers being slammed live on TV and awkward chats with rappers.
To mark the end of an era from quite possibly Britain's greatest news broadcaster of the last two decades, Digital Spy has rounded up just some of the classic moments of Paxo on Newsnight.
1. Paxman/Rascal
Possibly the sign of things to come in terms of Newsnight incorporating surprising guests and skits (see Cookie Monster and 'Thriller'). Paxman took part in a rather bizarre interview with Dizzee Rascal following Barack Obama's presidential victory in 2008. When asking Dizzee he believed in political parties in Britain, the rapper replied: "Yeah, they exist, I believe in them. But I don't know if I care," adding: "If you believe, you can achieve, innit." The awkward silences after Dizzee's points are also classic.

"Ah Paxo, I'll miss him when he has that massive coronary," said The Thick of It's Malcolm Tucker of Jeremy Paxman. Judging from yesterday's battle with Treasury minister Chloe Smith on Newsnight, you can see why. It's been over 15 years since Paxman asked Michael Howard once or twice if he threatened to overrule the head of the prison service, but last night's sparring shows that at the age of 62, he's still definitely got it. Fast forward to six minutes for all the action. With all the ire he usually reserves for the less-enlightened contestants on University Challenge, Paxman seems less than impressed with Smith's attempts to evade his questioning over the government's latest budget U-turn. "Is it hard for you to defend a policy you don't agree with?" he splutters (more)...
