“Game of Thrones” star Lena Headey has taken the lead in “Long Pork,” a short thriller from Madhouse Films set in a post-Roe v Wade America.
Marking the directorial feature debut of Iris Dukatt, “Long Pork” sees Headey play Lily Williams, a chef at a renowned steakhouse whose daughter has died under forced birth laws. When the judge responsible for denying her daughter’s request to have an abortion makes a booking at the steakhouse, Lily embarks on exacting a bloody revenge.
Joining Headey in the pic is “Ozark” star Marc Menchaca, who will play Judge Philip Anderson. Catherine Curtin, Lorna Courtney, Zoe Cipres, and Tl Thomspon also star.
Dukatt wrote the screenplay. Madhouse Films’ Katherine Romans and Charlie Sarah Traisman produce alongside Elizabeth Valenti.
Romans and Traisman founded Madhouse Films in 2022 with the aim of centering marginalized voices. The company’s first short, “See This,” is set to premiere on the 2024 festival circuit.

HBO’s five-part limited series “White House Plumbers” has been confirmed for a May 1 launch date, which means Lena Headey could have another shot at finally ascending the Emmy throne.
Headey is arguably overdue for an Emmy win after being paid dust for her iconic portrayal of Cersei Lannister on “Game of Thrones.” She received five — and to date her only — nominations for the hit fantasy series, in the drama supporting actress category, but was denied the crown at every turn. Unfortunately for her and the rest of the “Thrones” cast, the acting branch of the TV academy didn’t care to reward the four-time Best Drama Series champ outside of Peter Dinklage, whose fan-favorite turn as Tyrion Lannister earned him Best Drama Supporting Actor bids for all eight seasons and a record four statuettes. It also didn’t help Headey that her character, the ice-cold, cunning ruler of the Seven Kingdoms,...

“Gaslit,” the upcoming Starz limited series about Martha Mitchell (Julia Roberts), who blew the whistle on her husband John Mitchell (Sean Penn), Richard Nixon’s attorney general, won’t tell the same familiar story about the Watergate scandal, showrunner Robbie Pickering says.
Instead, Pickering’s goal is to “correct the record.”
“I have a 4-and-a-half-year-old daughter and I don’t want her to learn about Watergate in the same way that I learned about it,” Pickering said Wednesday during a Television Critics Association panel. “I want her to know that Martha Mitchell played an instrumental role in it, and she wasn’t just some drunk crazy lady. She was right. She was the first person to publicly blow the whistle on these people. Hopefully, we can correct the record a little bit with this show.”
The infamous break-in at the Watergate hotel is the background, not the focus, of the series,...
