Chucky the killer doll has come back a whole lot of times since we first saw him in the 1988 classic Child’s Play. He has starred in several big screen sequels, a couple direct-to-video sequels, and now he’s three seasons deep into a TV series that runs on both Syfy and USA Network (as well as the Peacock streaming service). As he has made his way through the decades, many of his co-stars have also returned to share the screen with him again and again. But among those who haven’t returned is Chris Sarandon, who played Detective Mike Norris in the original film. During an interview conducted by People to mark the thirty-fifth anniversary of the original Child’s Play, Sarandon revealed that he would be willing to come back for another Chucky project… even though he turned down the chance to appear in Child’s Play 2.

Jennifer Tilly has played both serial killer Tiffany Valentine and herself – and she’s back at it in this season. Lara Jean Chorostecki, who played Sister Ruth in Chucky season 2, is back as a new character in season 3. Michael Therriault played different characters...

Deep in the Australian Outback, Kitty Green is, once again, asking us to sit on a knife’s edge, where the threat of violence is constant. In The Assistant, which also starred Julia Garner as a headstrong underling in an environment dominated by men, Green was attuned to the systemic abuses of the entertainment industry. In The Royal Hotel, she considers the ways infrastructural inequities pervade even in the most remote corners of our world.
Green’s film is loosely based on the 2016 documentary Hotel Coolgardie, in which director Pete Gleeson provided a glimpse into a remote mining town where backpackers are cycled in and out as bartenders, or, as a sandwich board labels them in The Royal Hotel, “fresh meat” to be ogled at and harassed. Here, that fresh meat is Hanna (Garner) and Liv (Jessica Henwick), two American tourists who’ve desperately sought out a work-tourism exchange program...

A version of this story about Niecy Nash-Betts and “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” first ran in the Limited Series/Movies issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
In Netflix’s “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” Niecy Nash-Betts plays Glenda Cleveland, the neighbor of Jeffrey Dahmer who tried to warn the police about his killing, only to be repeatedly ignored. Her haunting performance has earned Nash-Betts her best reviews since her Emmy-nominated turn in 2019’s “When They See Us” — along with a SAG nomination and a Critic’s Choice Award win for best supporting actress in a limited series.
What interested you in the role of Glenda Cleveland?
When Ryan called me, I said yes before I even knew what it was. (Laughs) But when I started to unpack the story, the thing that got me on the hook was that she went so long being unheard.

After retiring from politics, Glenda Jackson made three films: one for TV, Elizabeth is Missing, and two for the big screen, Mothering Sunday and the upcoming The Great Escaper. The people behind those projects remember a fierce, funny and formidable titan
Aisling Walsh, director, Elizabeth is Missing (2019): As a girl, I’d seen Glenda on screen as Elizabeth in Mary, Queen of Scots and I never thought for a moment I’d get to work with her. It was the greatest privilege of my career.

Glenda Jackson, a two-time Academy Award-winning performer who had a second career in politics as a British lawmaker before an acclaimed late-life return to stage and screen, has died at age 87.
Jackson’s agent Lionel Larner said she died Thursday at her home in London after a short illness. He said she had recently completed filming “’The Great Escaper”, in which she co-starred with 90-year-old Michael Caine.
Caine said Jackson was “one of our greatest movie actresses. I shall miss her.”
Born into a working-class family in Birkhenhead, northwest England, in 1936 Jackson trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. She performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company — where she starred in the cutting-edge drama “Marat/Sade” directed by Peter Brook — and became one of the biggest British stars of the 1960s and 70s, winning two Academy Awards, for the brooding D.H. Lawrence adaptation “Women in Love” in 1971 and the...

Glenda Jackson, the Academy Award-winning actor who also served as an MP, has died. She was 87.
Glenda May Jackson was born on 9 May, 1936 in Birkenhead, in Wirral. She attended the local grammar school, leaving at 16 to work at Boots.
But, dissatisfied with the retails world, she joined a Ymca drama group. "I had no real ambition about acting," she later recalled. "But I knew there had to be something better than the bloody chemist's shop." Two years later, she won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
Her career began in repertory theatre, and she joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1964.
Her film career includes memorable roles in the likes of Women In Love (for which she won her first Oscar), The Rainbow, Hedda, A Touch Of Class (earning her a second Academy Award) and Marat/Sade.

Glenda Jackson, the double Oscar-winning British actress and former Labour MP, has died. She was 87.
In a statement, her agent Lionel Larner said she died at her home in Blackheath, south-east London, following a “brief illness.”
Larner’s statement read: “Glenda Jackson, two-time Academy Award-winning actress, and politician, died peacefully at her home in Blackheath, London this morning after a brief illness with her family at her side.”
Statement continued: “She recently completed filming The Great Escaper in which she co-starred with Michael Caine.”
