David Fincher's ‘Mindhunter' Could Return as Three Movies
Summary David Fincher'sMindhuntermay not return for another season, but it could come back in other ways: specifically, three movies. Holt McCallany, who played the role of FBI Special Agent Bill Tench on theNetflixseries, recently toldCBRthat he spoke to Fincher about the possibility of the show's revival. 'I had a meeting with David Fincher in his office a few months ago, and he said to me that there is a chance that it may come back as three two-hour movies, but I think it's just a chance,' he shared. 'I know there are writers that are working, but you know, David has to be happy with scripts.' The actor continued, 'I recently wrote a script that he was kind enough to give me notes on. I was in script revisions with David for two and a half years.. but [he] was very meticulous, which is why I think he's the best director in Hollywood.' 'He gave me a little bit of hope when I had that meeting with him, but the sun, the moon and the stars would all have to align,' McCallany added. Mindhunterstarred McCallany andJonathan Groffas FBI Special Agent Holden Ford, and followed the genesis of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit and the process of criminal profiling. It was based on John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker's 1995 true crime bookMindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit. The show ran for a total of two seasons up until 2019, but was not renewed by Netflix supposedly due to itsexpensive price tag.

New milestone for Sibu with opening of first Petros Multifuel Station
Tiang and David sign the backdrop for the new Petros Multifuel Station opening. – Photo by Peter Boon SIBU (June 20): Sibu's first Petros Multifuel Station was launched at Brooke Drive today. Deputy Minister for Public Health, Housing and Local Government Datuk Michael Tiang officiated at the station run by Emparia Sdn Bhd. 'As many of you know, we are on a journey to make Sarawak a developed state by year 2030. That's not just a slogan, it's a real vision. And to make that happen, we need strong support from small and medium enterprises (SMEs),' he said. 'SMEs are the heart of our economy. You create jobs, keep the local economy moving, and help bring development to every corner of Sarawak including places like Sibu, Kapit, and Mukah, not just big cities like Kuching and Miri.' Delving on Petros, the Pelawan assemblyman said the new station is part of a bigger story about how Sarawak is starting to stand tall, taking charge of the state's own oil and gas resources. 'Petros, as many of you know, was set up not just to do business, but to protect our Sarawak rights. Sarawak has always had special powers under the Federal Constitution and the Malaysia Agreement 1963. 'And we are using those powers wisely for the interests and benefit of all Anak Sarawak. Thanks to the leadership of our Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg and Sarawak government, Sarawak now has stronger control over our oil and gas industry. That means we can decide what's best for us, make sure more value stays in the state, and more importantly – give more opportunities to our own people,' added Tiang. He said this autonomy is what allows Sarawak to build better schools and offer free tertiary education to Sarawakians next year as well as improve healthcare and infrastructure. (From sixth left) Tiang and David are seen during a photocall for the opening. – Photo by Peter Boon Emparia Sdn Bhd chief executive officer David Tiang said Petros is not just a growing international brand but a Sarawak brand created to serve Sarawakians. 'As we officially launch the Petros Multifuel Station today, we hope that when you see the Petros sign, you feel a sense of pride – knowing that this is our Sarawak brand – and you will support our business and grow this brand together,' he said.

David Dhawan was a ‘dummy director', went missing from shoots, fed ‘zeher' in Govinda's mind: Pahlaj Nihalani
Back in the 1990s, David Dhawan made a series of massive hits. These include films like Raja Babu, Aankhen, Hero No 1, Haseena Maan Jayegi, Bol Radha Bol, among many others, and some of these films were produced by Pahlaj Nihalani. In a new interview, Pahlaj claimed that David wouldn't be present at his shoots, and for him, he was a 'dummy director.' Pahlaj implied that he did all the heavy lifting, but David believed that he was the one delivering one hit after another. With Pahlaj, David made Shola Aur Shabnam, Aankhen, Andaz, and some lesser known films like Aag Ka Gola and Aandhiyan. In a chat shared on Vickey Lalwani's YouTube channel, Pahlaj said that David 'poisoned' Govinda's mind against him. 'They thought I had made a lot of money from Aankhen because of them; when in fact, they got famous because of me. I got the story and the screenplay, dialogues were written by Anees Bazmee, I was the one who went for song recordings, I would shoot the songs. David only filmed the scenes. In Aankhen, during the climax shoot of 27 days, David was not there, not even for a single day. He was shooting for something else in Mumbai. During a lot of action scenes, I was the one on the shoot, David wouldn't be there,' he said. When asked why he kept signing David for multiple films if he wasn't delivering what he promised, Pahlaj said, 'For me, he was a dummy director. The film will always be mine because I was the producer,' he declared. Pahlaj then shared that they never fought but their fallout happened because David was apparently badmouthing Pahlaj in front of other actors. ALSO READ | Sitaare Zameen Par Movie Review Live Updates: Early reviews hail 'Aamir Khan's best film', praise chemistry with Genelia; Salman Khan, Juhi Chawla lead support 'He believed that Aankhen and Shola Aur Shabnam worked because of him. And he would say that I paid Anil Kapoor, and not him. All these films – Deewana Mastana, Jodi No 1, Haseena Maan Jayegi… Deewana Mastana was adapted from an English film and I was the one who showed him that film. I also discussed Haseena Maan Jayegi with him… David has always enjoyed copying others' work. He made all these films with other producers,' he said. A huge majority of David's films were remakes of Tamil, Telugu and English films. Pahlaj further claimed that presumably, David wanted to be addressed as 'David ji'. 'I think he wanted people to call him David ji and I would never call him that. It was perhaps this complex… I analysed that he is probably scared of facing me,' he said, and added, 'He never said that call me David Ji… I could see that's how he thought, I am a human after all.' He also added, 'David is the kind of man who will only call when he has an ulterior motive. He doesn't respect relationships, he only thinks about himself. He is only looking out for how to make money.'

Inside Ruth Jones' marriage breakup from affair that started relationship to ex-husband's look-a-like lover in Canada
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THEIR relationship began in scandal – and now, 26 years later, it seems it's ended the same way. After Gavin & Stacey star Ruth Jones, 58, confirmed her shock split from husband David Peet, 71, rumours are swirling that he left her for another woman - one who, awkwardly, could pass for Ruth's double. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 9 Gavin and Stacey's Ruth Jones confirmed her shock split from husband David Pee Credit: Getty 9 Rumours are swirling that David left her for another woman, Jayne Charity Cook, pictured, who is Ruth's double Credit: 9 Ruth and David in 2011 Credit: Rex The TV producer is now living thousands of miles away in a quiet Canadian town with new partner Jayne Charity Cook, while Ruth has relocated from Cardiff to London to focus on her ever-flourishing career. Fans are convinced Ruth hinted at her heartbreak in her recent Sunday Times bestseller, By Your Side, which follows Linda - a curvy, teetotal woman in her 50s - whose husband runs off with another woman to open a café in Spain. While promoting the novel at the Bath Literary Festival in May, where she was notably without her wedding ring, Ruth admitted Linda was based on her. Tellingly, she described how the fictional husband's fling with a colleague finally ended a long but lacklustre marriage. 'It was never a really great big romantic marriage,' she told the audience. 'They got on fine. They had a good sex life but that was kind of it. 'They were good friends. When he (the husband) went off with Denise at his place of work, and ran off to run a cafe in Spain called Doolallies, she was quite happy to see him go.' It's hard not to draw parallels with Ruth's real-life split. In a recent statement, she confirmed she and David went their separate ways 18 months ago, 'amicably,' and insisted they remain 'good friends.' Since then, Ruth's star has only risen. She's just scooped a BAFTA for her much-loved role as Nessa, topped the book charts, and is filming a gripping Netflix thriller Run Away, alongside Cold Feet actor James Nesbitt. Meanwhile, David has swapped showbiz for small-town life – and a new romance out of the spotlight. Ruth Jones brings back Gavin and Stacey's Nessa one last time as she picks up comedy TV BAFTA Jayne went public with David in April, updating her profile picture to a loved-up snap of the pair. She also shared photos on Threads, writing: 'Spent the weekend with my love and had an amazing time.' Describing herself as a 'MommaBear, great Friend, Lover, Partner, Daughter, Sister,' she has two adult children – Alexander and Isabella – and is a proud grandmother to their three kids. She has worked as an Education Assistant at the Gwa'sala-'Nakwaxda'xw School on the Tsulquate Reserve since 2016. While it's unclear exactly when - or how - Jayne met David, he's believed to have moved to Canada several months ago. 'It's a bold move across the Atlantic,' a source said. 'But David saw it as a new chapter in his life and an exciting opportunity he couldn't ignore.' Their split came as a shock to industry insiders, who remember Ruth first meeting David in the early '90s while working on a BBC Wales pilot. Affairs cause a lot of pain – they're not something one aspires to do Ruth According to Ruth, it was 'love at first voice' after hearing him on the phone before meeting in person. 'He has a very sharp mind combined with a dry Yorkshire wit, making him a naturally funny man,' she later commented. Their relationship began while David's previous marriage was coming to an end – something Ruth has since spoken about openly. 'Affairs cause a lot of pain – they're not something one aspires to do,' she previously said. 'You don't aspire to cause pain to people in their life.' Their romance triggered the divorce from the mother of his three children, Louise, Alex and Fiona, all now in their 30s, who Ruth remains close to. 9 Ruth on Stella in 2015, which she made with David Credit: handout 9 Ruth starred in Fat Friends in the early 2000s Credit: Carlton 9 With James Corden and the Fat Friends gang Credit: Rex The pair tied the knot in 1999 and went onto work with each other again, co-creating her Sky comedy Stella, in which she plays the title character - a struggling single mother - which ran for 58 episodes from 2012. The former couple used to split their time between their two properties in Cardiff and the Scottish Highlands, where they own a holiday home. Despite their strong union, they never had any biological kids together - with Ruth admitting she never had a strong desire to be a mother. 'It just didn't happen,' she once said. 'It wasn't a decision. I don't have a burning desire to have babies. "I think it's heartbreaking if you do and you find out you can't have them. I love being a stepmum - all the joys of motherhood without the pain of childbirth." 'Teenage angst' Despite not being particularly maternal, Ruth was a natural stepmother. 'You take things as they come,' she admitted. 'There wasn't a moment when I thought, 'I've become a stepmum now'.' She has always spoken fondly of her stepkids and expressed excitement about the possibility of becoming a step-grandmother one day. "We never had any difficulty with teenage angst,' she recalled. 'And now I'm looking forward to becoming a step-grandmother at some point." Their split follows the much-anticipated 2024 Gavin & Stacey Christmas Special, where Ruth's beloved character Nessa finally tied the knot with her longtime love Smithy, played by co-writer James Corden. The episode – fittingly titled The Finale – marked the end of the hit series, pulling in a massive 12.3 million viewers. Ruth and David had previously collaborated on the 2009 Gavin & Stacey Christmas Special. Ruth's portrayal of the straight-talking Welsh legend Nessa earned her a BAFTA for Best Female Performance in a Comedy this May - and while she collected the award barefoot, she was still wearing her wedding ring at the ceremony. But she failed to mention husband David in her acceptance speech. Instead, she paid a heartfelt tribute to the Gavin & Stacey cast and crew, singling out her co-writer James Corden, saying: 'I love you, James. I love writing with you - and long may it continue.' Ruth and James have co-written a memoir due out in October titled Gavin and Stacey and Everything in Between. 'It's really the story of our friendship,' Ruth told Lorraine. 'We've been close for 25 years now. He's one of my best friends.

In 2019, Ruth told Radio 4's Desert Island Disc how she prefers staying at home than attending glitzy showbiz events. She also recalled her meeting with Barack Obama at a dinner at Downing Street in 2013 and how he's a fan of the Welsh accent. She told how he was particularly charmed by Jones's tendency at the time to say 'Brill-iant' and stick her thumbs in the air. 'I went very Welsh. I went 'Hiya!' and shook hands with him,' she told presenter Lauren Laverne. 'I said 'Can I just say? Congratulations! Brill-iant!' 'And he shook hands with me and then leaned down and said: 'I really need to learn how to say that – brill-iant!'.'
