Ezra Miller Considering Hollywood Return 'On Tentative Grounds' After Cannes
Before Ezra Miller was spotted bolting down the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival last month, they had largely remained out of the public eye for the past two years following a series of arrests.
The actor recently said they've considered returning to Hollywood 'on tentative grounds' after friend Lynne Ramsay 'asked me to come' to Cannes in support of the world premiere of her film Die My Love.

'I came to Cannes to support one of my closest friends in the world, who is Lynne Ramsay—who I think is one of the greatest living filmmakers,' they told Italian outlet Lo Speciale Giornale. 'I'm working with her again, that will likely be the first thing I do, is a film that her and I are writing together.'
Miller added, 'I've been writing a lot, because you can do that in solitude, which has been friendly to me.'
The Fantastic Beasts actor said Cannes was a 'tough re-entry point' after they were the subject of several incidents going back to 2020, including assault, harassment, burglary and the alleged grooming of an 18-year-old.
'Not that I don't hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things I did and a lot of things that happened in that time, but I'm really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss,' added Miller.I
After a temporary harassment order was lifted against Miller by a Massachusetts court following allegations that they behaved inappropriately around her 12-year old child, the actor told Deadline they were 'very grateful' for the order, claiming that the woman was 'seeking attention or fleeting tabloid fame or some sort of personal vengeance.'
'I have been unjustly and directly targeted by an individual who the facts have shown has a history of such manipulative and destructive action,' added Miller in June 2023.

Nothing Headphone 1 leaks show quirky translucent design
While Nothing is gearing up to officially unveil its first over-ear headphones next week, leaked images and videos have given us a good idea of what they look like. The Nothing Headphone 1 sports an unusual design that appears consistently across leaks from multiple sources, featuring a squircle earcup with the company's signature transparent elements and support for what looks like a 3.5mm audio cable. Nothing announced in a video last month that it would be launching over-ear headphones in 'summer 2025,' but remained largely tight-lipped about what to expect. What little was teased — including Nothing's Tom Ridley saying the company was making 'a more interesting looking pair of headphones that say something about you,' and Adam Bates suggesting its buttons would feature distinct designs for each control function — appears to have been realized in these design leaks. Images shared by Nothing_fan_blog on Instagram show that the earcups for the Nothing Headphone 1 resemble a couple of quirky cassette tapes, and true to Bates' word, there appear to be multiple buttons to control the music. The images show the headphones in black or silver colorways, and branding for 'Nothing Headphone 1' and 'Sound by KEF' on either earcup. Videos shared on X by Arsène Lupin also show two people at a private brand event trying out the headphones with what looks like a 3.5mm wired connection. That cable could introduce improved audio performance (compared with Bluetooth) that doesn't require a battery when connected to compatible sources. It won't be long before we get official confirmation about the Headphone 1 design, specs, and price. According to comments made by Nothing CEO Carl Pei at the London SXSW conference, it's set to be announced on July 1st alongside the brand's incoming flagship phone, the Phone 3.

Is 28 Years Later's ending bold, visionary, or absolutely outrageous?
In 28 Years Later Danny Boyle and Alex Garland return to the dystopian world they created back in 2002 with quite a splash, delivering gripping new chapter full of awe-inspiring action and touching melodrama. But there's another thing it has — a memorable its release the thing that has stood out most about the movie amongst cinephile and film agnostics alike is the way in which 28 Years Later ends. That's because final scene does more than just set the stage for 2026 follow up The Bone Temple, it shakes audiences out of their comfortable reverie after two and a half hours of mayhem and declares itself triumphantly to the world. How does it do that? You might be asking yourself. Well after leaving his secluded island home, losing his mother (Jodie Comer) and leaving the child of an infected with his father (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), 12-year-old Spike (Alfie Williams) decides to try going out on his own. The mainland may be crawling with infected but he needs the time to himself, and he's pretty sure he can kill anyone who come his way. When he is beset upon by a group of infected a group of survivors led by Jack O'Connell's Sir Jimmy Crystal come to help. He asks if his flock can step in and kill the infected that are chasing Spike and the boy agrees, so Jimmy lets his followers loose and they lay waste to those consumed by the Rage virus in quick, brutal succession. But with the type of maniacal glee that completely changes the tone of the movie we just watched. What makes it all a bit bonkers is how Jimmy and his cult — because that is what they are — are all dressed like Jimmy Savile. The group have matching blonde hair, wear gold jewellery and dress in colourful boiler suits, oh and they're all named Jimmy in some variation. It's a pretty outrageous thing to do, to have your characters idolise someone like Savile, particularly given what the public now know about him and the years of predatory sexual abuse he inflicted on children and minors without consequence. It certainly is a bold move on Boyle's part, but it shows that The Bone Temple will be just as unexpected. From a narrative perspective, it is something that could well have happened had the world ended in 2002, before Savile's abuse was revealed to the public and he was still a beloved figure of British TV. Someone like O'Connell's Jimmy, who was a child when the Rage virus broke out and watched his parents succumb to the disease, could well have turned to the only other person he knew of for guidance. How The Bone Temple might address the Savile impersonators is to be seen, but it is one way to make your film memorable. And given the way the ending has got people talking online and off, it seems to have worked. Then there's the way that the introduction of Jimmy and his cult shifts things up a gear. While the movie isn't devoid of violence or brutal action by any means the final scene is a real tonal shift from what came before. 28 Years Later is at its heart the story of a scared young boy, of a mother's love, and her son's determination to save her life in the face of overwhelming odds. 28 Years Later takes the story in some surprisingly moving and tender directions as a result, which is why it is such a stark contrast when Sir Jimmy and his crew come in. Their use of elaborate acrobatics and goofy martial arts to kill infected, as well as their unpredictable nature, feels strange in comparison to the stoicism of Spike and his family. At the very least it means that The Bone Temple has declared its intentions as something completely different to what came before it, and promises a bold new vision for the franchise from Garland and Nia DaCosta — who took over directing from Boyle for the follow up, which was filmed back-to-back with 28 Years Later. It's one of those scenes that you'll either love or hate, that you'll either think is genius or upends the movie completely. But one thing is for sure, regardless of which category you fall into, there is still one word that can be used to describe it: bold. And if you're hoping to convince viewers to stick around for the next film in the franchise then it's better to do it with style than risk falling at the last hurdle. 28 Years Later is in UK cinemas now, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple will be released on 16 January, 2026.

9 old-fashioned baby names as Samatha Barks takes vintage inspiration for newborn
Actress and singer Samantha Barks has welcomed her second child – a daughter – and shared her timeless name. The Les Miserables and Frozen the Musical star shared the happy news on Instagram on Sunday. Posting a picture kissing her newborn, the 34-year-old singer captioned the post "Hello Felicity". Barks and husband Alex Stoll, who she married in 2022, also have a 20-month-old son named Raphael. The name Felicity has Latin roots and comes from the word felicitas, meaning 'happiness' or 'good fortune', according to It's been used since Medieval times when it was associated with Saint Felicity, a Christian martyr. Possibly the most famous person to bear the name is 78-year-old actor Felicity Kendal, most known for her role in TV programme The Good Life. Felicity Jones is another British female actor with the name. Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman, 62, also bears the moniker as does literary agent Felicity Blunt, the wife of Stanley Tucci and sister of Emily Blunt. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Samantha Barks (@samanthabarks) Barks isn't the only celebrity to choose a vintage-inspired name for their child recently. In May, Dame Laura Kenny and her husband, fellow Olympic cyclist Jason Kenny, welcomed their third child, a daughter, named Lilian Joyce Kenny. Explaining that the name was inspired by both her and her husband's grandmothers, Kenny said: "There was only ever one name we had in mind for a daughter. A mix of both our Nans' names. Our beautiful little family is complete". Lily Allen also has daughters named Ethel and Marnie, comedian Katherine Ryan's oldest child is Violet, and fellow comic Josh Widdicombe named his daughter Pearl. Some of the most popular baby names in England and Wales also hark back to previous times, with Florence, Elsie and Maeve all in the top 100. Baby naming expert SJ Strum, author of Baby Name Envy, says that vintage name choices are having "a huge boom" at the moment, with many "coming back into style after a 100-year hiatus". "They're popular, as going further back in time means we don't have those name associations from our own peer group," she tells Yahoo UK. "They also combine that criteria of being a classic name that now sounds unique and fresh." If you're not sure where to start when it comes to retro names, Strum says looking through your family tree is a wonderful way to find one that has meaning for you. Maybe it's thanks to actor Margot Robbie, or perhaps it's just a great choice — either way, the name Margot has been rising in popularity over recent years. The French name, meaning 'pearl' was given to 215 more baby girls in 2023 – the most recent year the Office of National Statistics (ONS) has records for – than 2022. If you're looking for a less popular retro name, Strum explains "it's a top tip to view names from a modern lens". "For example, Vera is a wonderfully modern twist on the popular name Evie but is less likely to be shared by your child's peers," she says. The name Vera is of Slavic origin and means 'faith' and 'true'. Choosing the diminutive of a popular old-fashioned name is a great way to bring it up to date. For example, Margaret, which website Nameberry says has Greek origins and means 'pearl', can be shortened to Maggie, Meg or Peggy. Currently the eighth most popular girls' name in England and Wales, Florence has a number of nicknames including Flossy and Flo. Derived from the Latin word 'florens' it means 'blossoming', 'flourishing' and 'prosperous', all wonderful assets for your newborn. Back in 1904, the first year ONS records began, Florence was the second most popular girls' name after Mary. Alma is another recommendation from Strum. She says it's a less-common twist on the name Amelia, currently the second most popular girls' name in England and Wales. With Latin and Spanish roots, Alma can mean 'nourishing' or 'soul'. The fourth most popular girls' name back in 1904, Elsie is having a bit of a comeback. It's been chosen by celebrities including comedian Jack Whitehall and actor Zooey Deschenal and is now the fourteenth most popular girls' name in England and Wales. Of Hebrew and English origin it means 'pledged to God'. If you want a longer name to give your child more choice when they get older, it can also be used as a diminutive of Elizabeth and Elsbeth. Chosen by TOWIE alumni Billie Faiers for her oldest child, Zoe Ball also has a daughter named Nelly. Nelly, which can also be spelt Nellie, can be used as a nickname for Helen, Eleanor or Cornelia. It's said to be of English origin and has the beautiful meaning 'light'. Naming site The Bump says Nancy has Middle English, Hebrew and Greek origins and means 'grace' or 'favoured'. It can be used as a name in its own right or a nickname for Anne or Agnes. It also has a bit of a rebellious edge – think notorious punk couple Sid and Nancy. An old-fashioned name that sounds thoroughly modern, with its links to the fruit, Olive evokes thoughts of Mediterranean holidays and sunshine. It's also a more unusual spin on Olivia, which has been the most popular girls' name since 2016.
