Margot Robbie Confirms ‘Ocean’s 11’ Prequel Follows Danny Ocean’s Parents at the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix by SafeBodybuilder7191 in Fauxmoi

Margot Robbie has confirmed the upcoming “Ocean’s 11” prequel will take place at the crown jewel of the Formula One circuit — the Monaco Grand Prix. It won’t center on Danny Ocean, the con-man who led a Las Vegas casino heist in “Ocean’s 11,” but instead on his crafty parents.

“Before Danny Ocean ever stepped foot in Vegas, two masterminds taught him everything he knows — his parents,” Robbie teased during a sizzle reel of Warner Bros. 2027 slate at CinemaCon. “You’ll see them in their prime, and in our new movie, pulling off an epic heist at the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix.”

Robbie and Bradley Cooper are starring in the film, presumably as the mom and dad of Danny Ocean, the suave heist leader portrayed by George Clooney in Steven Soderbergh’s 2001 “Ocean’s Eleven.” Separate from Robbie’s prequel, Clooney is reviving the original “Oceans” trilogy with another sequel, starring Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and Don Cheadle. They’ll be back in the heist game as a group as aging criminals.

Cooper is also directing the prequel after two filmmakers — Lee Isaac Chung and Jay Roach — departed the project. Meanwhile, Robbie is producing through her company LuckyChap. Carrie Solomon is working on the screenplay. The yet-to-be titled “Ocean’s” adventure is expected to start filming this year and hopes to release in theaters at some point in 2027.

The BBC has announced that filming has begun on The Ink Factory’s landmark series, Legacy of Spies, which sees spymaster George Smiley’s long-anticipated return to television. Adapted from le Carré’s global bestseller The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, and drawing on material his 2017 novel A Legacy of Spies, the eight-part espionage thriller is show run and written by Stephen Cornwell (Message from the King, A Most Wanted Man) and Clarisa Ingram. Michael Lennox (Say Nothing, Crystal Lake) will serve as an Executive Producer and takes on lead directorial duties. Legacy of Spies will premiere on BBC iPlayer and BBC One in the UK, and on MGM+ in the United States.

Two-time Emmy and BAFTA award-winning Matthew Macfadyen (Death by Lightning, Succession) stars as the iconic George Smiley, alongside Charlie Hunnam (Monster: The Ed Gein Story, The Gentlemen) as Alec Leamas, the maverick field operative at the heart of John le Carré’s espionage masterpiece The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. Daniel Brühl (All Quiet on the Western Front, Rush) plays Josef Fiedler, a methodical Stasi intelligence strategist, with Devrim Lingnau Islamoğlu (The Empress) as Doris Quinz, a young and dynamic East German woman who delivers vital intelligence from the heart of the East German operation.

The previously announced cast are joined by Agnes O’Casey (Black Doves, Lies We Tell) as Liz Gold, an idealistic young woman at the heart of the story. O’Casey reprises her role from the stage adaptation which recently completed its West End run. Felix Kammerer (All Quiet on the Western Front, Frankenstein) is Hans-Dieter Mundt, a brutal, unpredictable and psychotically deadly Stasi enforcer. Joining them is a world-class ensemble portraying the allies and adversaries who populate Smiley’s Cold War universe, including Dan Stevens (Zero Day and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire) as Bill Haydon, a brilliant and enigmatic Circus insider, Jake Dunn (What It Feels Like for a Girl, Renegade Nell) as Peter Guillam, Smiley’s trusted lieutenant, Safia Oakley-Green (The Bluff, Out of the Darkness) as Molly Gibson, an energetic new intelligence officer and one of Leamas’ most trusted deputies, alongside Ariyon Bakare (Mr Loverman, His Dark Materials) as Cy Aflon, a seasoned US intelligence officer. From within the East German regime Saskia Rosendahl (Fabian - Going to the Dogs, El Deshielo/ The Meltdown) is Lotte Gamp, Doris’ courageous and protective sister, Patrick Güldenberg (Die Ibiza Affäre, Tatort: Donuts) is Dr Karl Riemeck, a principled doctor pulled into the world of espionage and Volker Bruch (Babylon Berlin, Generation War) is Emmanuel Rapp, a high-ranking Stasi official.

Matthew Macfadyen (Death by Lighting, Succession, Deadpool) as master-spy George Smiley, Charlie Hunnam (Monster, Sons of Anarchy, The Gentlemen) as the British intelligence officer Alec Leamas, Daniel Brühl (All Quiet on the Western Front, Rush) as East German spy Jens Fielder and Devrim Lingnau Islamoğlu (The Empress) as Doris Quinz aka Agent Tulip.

When Alec Leamas (Charlie Hunnam), a highly experienced Circus field operative, recruits Doris Quinz (Devrim Lingau Islamoğlu), a young and dynamic East German woman, to smuggle high-value Stasi documents into the West, it sets in motion a series of events that threaten to explode in the crucible of Cold War Berlin. Pursuing Leamas and Doris are Josef Fiedler (Daniel Brühl) and Hans-Dieter Mundt (Felix Kammerer), two Stasi operatives whose ferocious desire to shut down the intelligence leak is matched only by their internal rivalry and an iron will to outmatch each other. Pulled into the action is Liz Gold (Agnes O’Casey), an idealistic young woman whose courage and conviction force Leamas to navigate a world where loyalties fracture and betrayal is inevitable. Behind the scenes, the brilliant and taciturn spymaster George Smiley (Matthew Macfadyen) orchestrates operations while the elusive Soviet mastermind Karla looms in the shadows, setting the stage for a conflict that will define a generation. Personal lives become collateral in a ruthless intelligence war, and as the lines between duty and love begin to blur, every emotion becomes a weapon.

Andrew arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office as King says 'law must take its course' by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]SafeBodybuilder7191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Misconduct in Public Office is a really complicated offence. It essentially boils down to an allegation that someone who was doing a job on behalf of the British public did something seriously wrong, knowing it to be wrong.

There are four “elements” or factors that police must focus on during their investigation so that prosecutors can later decide whether or not someone should be charged.

First, the police must establish whether the person they’re investigating was a “public officer” and the incident in question was plausibly part of those duties.

If that’s agreed, detectives will then look for evidence that the incident in question saw the suspect “wilfully” neglecting to perform their duty or wilfully misconducting themselves in some other way. That wordy definition has long been a source of legal debate - more on that later.

The next question is whether the action they committed was so bad that it was “an abuse of the public's trust”. Lastly, if the evidence has passed those three tests, police need to examine whether the person under investigation acted “without reasonable excuse or justification”.

That final question is crucial. It’s a fundamental principle of criminal justice that someone suspected of wrongdoing is given an opportunity to put forward their side of the story - and that starts when the police come and knock on their door.

‘Industry’ Star Sagar Radia on Rishi’s Ultimate Leap of Faith: “It’s Almost His Redemption” by SafeBodybuilder7191 in television

[–]SafeBodybuilder7191[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunday’s fourth episode, “1000 Yoots, 1 Marilyn,” may be Radia’s last, the actor tells The Hollywood Reporter. It caps a massive arc and an impressive showcase for an actor few were familiar with before Industry began. The episode ends with Rishi somehow arm-in-arm and getting high with Jim Dycker (Charlie Heaton), the journalist who’d been working with Rishi’s sometimes-ally Harper (Myha’la) only to similarly face disgrace from his own profession. Jim overdoses, police are on the way and Rishi — ever the survivor — once again finds himself at a crossroads: Does he accept what seems to be his fate or take matters into his own hands — or in this case, feet?

Naturally, he jumps off the balcony. And while Rishi survives — barely — Radia still views it as a fitting goodbye. “The police pin him down and arrest him, and then there’s that moment of relief where he feels like this is what he deserves,” Radia says. “Everything that’s happened culminates to this moment. It’s almost his redemption.”

I had dinner with the boys, and they marked out what they were thinking for the character. They love writing themselves into a corner, that kind of thing of, “How are we going to get out of this?” With Rishi, they felt like they’d written themselves into a corner in terms of the standalone episode that he had — and then also that ending in episode eight with his wife’s [murder]. When I was being asked about it last year — “Where does this go for Rishi?” — I used to always say, “It’s either a redemption arc or he spirals even further down.” For them, for entertainment purposes as well as trying to stay as true and honest to the character as possible, it was always going to be, “Let’s take him further down the rabbit hole.”

But how do we do it in a different way? For that reason, we end up seeing Rishi in a different mode: survival mode is still there, he’s still functioning, he’s still showing up, but he’s emotionally stripped back. The boys wanted to explore what happens when that bravado is gone. He’s quieter, he’s more watchful and he’s essentially carrying a lot of unprocessed grief.

One of the reasons people took to Rishi is because he’s a mirror to the moment we’re living in. He’s surviving, he’s functioning — he’s even succeeding on paper — but he’s internally collapsing. That feels reflective of the world that we’re in right now. We are rewarded for endurance rather than honesty, and we praise people for pushing through and not complaining and staying productive no matter what cost that comes at. Rishi has internalized a lot of that.

There’s never just one thing going through his mind when something like that is taking place. Hanging over that balcony, I think it was an amalgamation of different thoughts. He’s trying to get away almost animalistically, like we all would when a cat is pushed into a corner — they’re going to come out fighting because they don’t want to be stuck in there. You may disagree, but Rishi thinks, “OK, well this is not my fault again, I’ve not killed this guy, but it’s going to be on me arguably because it’s my drugs.” In the same way his wife was shot because of his gambling debts. He’s not directly done it, but he’s responsible. So what does he want to do? He wants to get away. He wants to get out of that situation.

The most recent thing i watched Shirley Henderson in was in The Crimson Petal and the White a couple of months ago no connection to Harry Potter I just recommend the show. (Tho I’d say read its contents first) Romola Garai (also really recommend her 2009 series of Emma which is free on BBC iplayer ) is awesome in it tho I think others disagree with some of the castings for other characters
