The critically acclaimed West End production of “Macbeth,” starring David Tennant and Cush Jumbo, is getting a cinema release across the U.K., U.S., Australia and other select international territories. The adaptation, directed by Max Webster, is currently playing to sold-out audiences at London’s Harold Pinter Theatre.

Tennant and Jumbo play Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, respectively, in a new take on Shakespeare’s classic tale of love and murder. In an exclusive first clip of the filmed version — which was shot during the play’s run at the Donmar Warehouse last year — Tennant and Jumbo passionately perform Act 1, Scene 7, where they conspire to kill Duncan, the King of Scotland, so Macbeth can take the throne. Watch the clip above.

“Macbeth” will screen in cinemas beginning Feb. 5, 2025 from Trafalgar Releasing in partnership with Donmar Warehouse. Tickets will go on sale starting Oct. 16 at MacbethDonmarCinema.com.

David Schwimmer appeared on the “Origins with Cush Jumbo” podcast (via People) and was surprised to hear the host talk about a conversation she once had with Matthew Perry in which the late actor praised Schwimmer’s physical comedy chops. Perry and Jumbo starred together on a season of “The Good Fight,” while Perry and Schwimmer spent 10 seasons working together on “Friends.”

Jumbo, who had long been impressed by Schwimmer’s physical comedy, was on “The Good Fight” set with Perry and asked her co-star if that style of comedy just came natural to Schwimmer.

“[Perry] talks about how it’s not out of control at all, that you’re a linchpin person in a scene and that mostly people were always looking to you to know physically what direction things should go in,” Cumbo told Schwimmer. “Without you being the pin the other things don’t work, which I thought was very,...

In an alternate timeline somewhere, "Men in Black" may have led to the blockbuster leading man career of "Friends" star David Schwimmer instead of Oscar-winner Will Smith. Stories about Schwimmer's near-casting in the first "Men in Black" film have been around for years. However, during his appearance this week on the podcast "Origins With Cush Jumbo" (via The Hollywood Reporter), Schwimmer explained more fully why he ended up picking a different project over the hit sci-fi action-comedy.

"[It] was a brutal decision," the actor admitted to Jumbo, noting that a lot more went into his decision to decline the Agent J role than his tight "Friends" shooting schedule. "I had just finished filming 'The Pallbearer,' my first film with Gwyneth Paltrow, and there were high expectations of that which didn't come true," Schwimmer told the host with a laugh. "It was kind of a bomb, but there were high...

Cush Jumbo may be best known for her work as Lucca on “The Good Wife” and its spinoff “The Good Fight,” but now she’s branching out beyond acting.

Jumbo made her podcast hosting debut earlier this month with the launch of Sony’s “Origins with Cush Jumbo.” Each episode features Jumbo interviewing a bold-faced name about three experiences that have had a significant impact on their lives.

Her first guest was none other than Anna Wintour. Jumbo tells me on this week’s “Just for Variety” podcast, “I emailed her and said, ‘I’m doing a podcast about really inspirational people that I love who are made up of wibbly wobbly jigsaw pieces and these origin stories. I’m not doing a career trajectory podcast. I’m not doing a, how-i-got-there and how-you-can-get-there-too podcast.’ You’d be surprised what this person’s origin stories are and how looking back at them,...

Cush Jumbo is as magnetic, thoughtful, and affable as you’d imagine her to be.

That’s why it made perfect sense for the multi-talented artist to pour all that geniality and charisma into interviewing notable figures and dear friends in her new podcast series, Origins with Cush Jumbo.

For podcast lovers, Origins will suck you in with intimate, poignant conversations between Cush and everyone from Dame Anna Wintour and Bridgerton‘s Golda Rosheuvel to Michael Kors and Jumbo’s Criminal Record costar Peter Capaldi.

“Criminal Record” has been renewed for Season 2 at Apple TV+.

Peter Capaldi (“Doctor Who”) and Cush Jumbo (“The Good Wife”) will both return for a second season of the British thriller as Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty and Detective Sergeant June Lenker, respectively.

Set in contemporary London, “Criminal Record” follows two brilliant detectives as they clash while investigating a complex murder. The show was created by Paul Rutman (“Vera”).

“In Season 2, June Lenker is the senior officer on the scene when a political rally is attacked by far-right counter-protestors,” reads the synopsis. “The violent clash leaves a young man dead and June, consumed with guilt, is desperate to bring the unknown killer to justice. It seems as if her best hope is Daniel Hegarty, now a key figure in the shadowy world of police intelligence. He may have the answers she needs but to get his help she will have to accept a dangerous bargain.

Just in time for its 10th anniversary, fans of Circus of the Dead will be excited to hear that official novelization is on the way! Written by Joshua Millican, and available starting on November 26th from Encyclopocalypse Publications, pre-order links just opened and we have all the details:

Synopsis: A sadistic group of clowns kidnap an unsuspecting man and his daughters, forcing him to play a deadly game in order to save his family.

Written by Billy “Bloody Bill” Pon and Lee Ankrum, Circus of the Dead has amassed a rabid cult following in the years since its release. The film stars Bill Oberst Jr., Parrish Randall, and Chanel Ryan. A sequel was recently announced and is currently in pre-production.

The novelization was written by Joshua Millican, and has been 100% approved by “Bloody Bill”.

It’s now been almost a full month since the release of Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game, the first official expansion on the 1988 cult classic in the 36 years since the horror-comedy’s original release. The Killer Klowns fanbase has only grown in recent years, as evidenced by a Halloween Horror Nights attraction and tons of merchandise stocking the shelves of Spirit Halloween each and every spooky season, and the video game is the latest extension of the film’s enduring power. Is a sequel next up on the Big Top menu? Maybe!

But we’re not here to speculate on the future of the Killer Klowns from Outer Space film franchise. Rather, we’re here to talk about all the iconic locations from the movie that you can now virtually visit inside the video game! You’ve surely stumbled across a handful of these locations in the past month of play,...

If there’s one horror franchise whose characters are perfectly suited for the Funko Pop! style it’s definitely Killer Klowns from Outer Space, which is probably why Funko keeps adding new characters to the mix. And with a new video game now available, the company has revealed a brand new wave of three Killer Klowns toys that are up for pre-order right now.

In addition to a Pop! Deluxe toy of the Klown known as Jumbo, we’re also getting vinyl toys of the pie-wielding Chubby and the baseball bat-carrying Frank this coming August.

The most unexpected addition to the mix is undoubtedly Frank, a background Klown you can briefly spot during a couple different sequences in the 1988 horror-comedy. Funko is clearly leaving no stone unturned as they continue to celebrate the beloved cult classic, which bodes well for the future of their Killer Klowns collection. It seems no character is off limits!

Exclusive: Cush Jumbo is fronting a podcast telling the origin stories of big stars.

The Good Wife and Good Fight star has unveiled Sony Music’s Origins with Cush Jumbo at the Podcast Show In London.

Launching in September, Jumbo will speak in each episode with the “crème de la crème of entertainment royalty” about “childhood tales to teenage misadventures and early career struggles,” the show’s synopsis said.

“Each episode will unravel the formative moments that shaped the trajectory of success for some of the world’s most celebrated personalities,” it added.

Jumbo said: “I am thrilled to be partnering with Sony Music to begin my podcasting journey. Origins is all about taking my guests on a trip back down memory lane and I’m delighted that so many incredible people from across all of entertainment will join me for candid, honest and intimate conversations filled with laughter, tears and everything in between.

Scream Factory has just released Killer Klowns from Outer Space in 4K to celebrate its 35th Anniversary, and what an exciting time to be a fan of the 1980s movie. With the recent surge of Klownapalooza happening in the past few years, including tons of merch made available by Spirit Halloween and the much-anticipated video game scheduled to be released next month, it seems apropos for the Klowns to finally make their 4K debut.

In 1988, the Chiodo Brothers took their seemingly ridiculous premise of having otherworldly monsters in the form of circus clowns land on Earth to wreak havoc on a quiet little town and produced it into a full-length motion picture. Inspired by creature features and B-movies alike, their unconventional film with a deliberately hokey title would garner an initially significant following that evolved into a major cult classic close to four decades later.

Katy Perry became a judge on “American Idol” in 2018 and instantly set the internet on fire with her unpredictable personality and eye-popping wardrobe. The 13-time Grammy nominee is always at her absolute best on “Idol’s” annual Disney Night, where she goes all-in on the theme and dresses up in extravagant costumes as some of the most well-known characters of all time. Tinker Bell? Check! Snow White? Check! Urusula (with tentacles)? Check!

So says Jared Gerritzen, Chief Creative Officer at IllFonic, as we sit down for a quick interview with him on Discord. He’s certainly an authoritative voice on this matter too, given that he’s worked on adaptations for each of those cherished properties over the years, giving them all the asymmetrical multiplayer treatment that his development studio has got down to a fine art by now.

He continues: “And that means that people have pre-conceived notions of what those franchises should be. I guess what I’m saying is that they come with the burden of expectation, as you’ve got to [appease] fans of every individual movie or comic-book, regardless of their varying degrees of quality.”

Yet Gerritzen seems less wary of any such purism when it comes to IllFonic’s latest release.

Minecraft, the brainchild of Mojang Studios, continues to be an unstoppable force in the games industry even more than a decade after its 2011 release. It holds the prestigious title of the best-selling game ever, a feat attributed in large part to the boundless creativity it grants players.

The game’s blocky aesthetic might seem like a limitation at first, but it’s allowed players to build awe-inspiring structures and intricate pixel art. Thanks to this, a huge community of Minecraft content creators thrives on YouTube, which raises an important question: which of them has accrued the most success?

Exclusive: As George Clinton is preparing to get his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a new documentary about the Parliament-Funkadelic founder is in the works.

Clinton, a funk pioneer, is the subject of Mommy, What’s a Funkadelic?.

The documentary is written by Ishmael Reed, the author behind novels including Mumbo, Jumbo and known as the father of Afrofuturism, and co-directed by Alan Elliott, director of Aretha Franklin film Amazing Grace, and Christopher Harris, director of films including Reckless Eyeballing and Still/Here.

Murder never stays buried. That’s what Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty and Detective Sergeant June Lenker learn when an anonymous phone call pulls them into a tug of war over an old case in Apple TV+’s new crime thriller, “Criminal Record,” premiering on Wednesday, Jan 10. Hegarty, played by Academy Award and BAFTA award winner Peter Capaldi, is a well-connected detective looking to protect his legacy in the force, while Lenker (Cush Jumbo), is a young woman looking to make a name for herself. Set in London, it’s a high-stakes murder mystery that touches on race and institutional failure in a polarized Britain. You can watch Criminal Record: Season 1 with a 7-Day Free Trial of Apple TV+.

This episodes one and two review contains plot details but is largely spoiler-free.

In eight-part crime thriller Criminal Record, Peter Capaldi’s Dci accuses Cush Jumbo’s DS of unconscious bias. Has she – a woman of colour – automatically believed a tip-off about a West African-British prisoner’s wrongful conviction because she’s primed to see racist conspiracy everywhere? Or is Jumbo’s character simply seeing racist conspiracy because she’s looking right at it?

That mystery is at the centre of this new drama from the makers of ITV’s Vera. Two episodes of writer Paul Rutman’s series are out now on Apple TV+, with the rest to follow weekly on Wednesdays until February 21. Has Jumbo’s DS Lenker stumbled on a corrupt ring of racist cops led by Capaldi’s Dci Dan Hegarty, or is she putting two and two together to make five?

Your take on the ‘Is Hegarty a baddie?...

It is certainly not the case that every lackluster show title reflects a lackluster show. For every tepid Suspicion there’s a zippy Hijack, for every drab Liaison a gorgeous Foundation — and that’s just on Apple TV+. But an uninspired name can feel, in retrospect, like an early warning sign.

So it is with the streamer’s Criminal Record, not to be confused with Criminal Minds or Criminal: UK or Law & Order: Criminal Intent. The thriller has its merits, chief among them Cush Jumbo and Peter Capaldi as a pair of rival cops. But a tendency to prioritize themes over characters, combined with languid pacing and a too-measured tone, ultimately results in too little payoff for the time it demands.

For a while, the basic promise of a twisty murder mystery with prestige-tv gloss is enough to sustain some interest. Jumbo plays June Lenker, a midlevel detective...

If you love arguing with your family, the Apple TV+ crime drama Criminal Record might be the show for you.

Premiering this Wednesday, the character-driven series follows two detectives in contemporary London who are drawn into a harrowing fight to correct a miscarriage of justice stemming from a years-old murder case. June (played by The Good Fight‘s Cush Jumbo) is a young woman in the early stages of her career, while Haggerty (Doctor Who’s Peter Capaldi) is a well-connected man determined to protect his legacy.

When Peter Capaldi flickers into view on the Zoom call, I half expect him to tell me to “F** Off!”

For TV viewers of a certain age, the 65-year-old Scottish actor will forever be Malcolm Tucker, the supremely sweary spin doctor in Armando Iannucci’s pre-Veep Brit political satire The Thick of It.

“It’s The Thick of It and Doctor Who,” says a charming (and clean-mouthed) Capaldi, about the roles he’s most recognized for (he played the twelfth incarnation of the Doctor in the cult sci-fi series from 2013 to 2017). “Surprisingly, The Thick of It is still incredibly popular [the series wrapped in 2012]. People, generally very cool, smart young people, recognize me from that a lot. They generally just ask me to swear at them.”

Of course, there’s a lot more to Capaldi than Tucker and the Doctor. His scores of film and TV appearances include playing alongside Burt Lancaster in Bill Forsyth’s 1983 classic Local Hero,...

It’s detective vs. detective in Apple TV+‘s new crime thriller series. Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo are happy to be working together again — they previously starred in Torchwood in 2009 — in Criminal Record, premiering January 10. “It was so funny because when I remember Cush from Torchwood, she was just this kind of bright light, this kind of youthful teen,” he tells TV Insider. “I wasn’t a teen, but I was pretty young,” she interjects. “I was just terrified. That’s why I was bright. My poor eyeballs were so wide. Which direction should I be walking in?” The two have worked together and seen each other since, and Capaldi makes sure to praise Jumbo’s work as both a playwright and performer, including in Josephine and I, a play about Josephine Baker. But they’d been trying “to find the right thing,” which this is, she shares. “I...

Griselda is ready for her close-up.

Today, Netflix unveiled the official trailer for its upcoming Sofia Vergara limited series, Griselda.

The six-part series will debut on Thursday, January 25, 2024.

Griselda is inspired by the life of the savvy and ambitious Griselda Blanco, who created one of the most profitable cartels in history.

An anonymous phone call draws two brilliant detectives into a confrontation over an old murder case – one a young woman in the early stages of her career, the other a well-connected man determined to protect his legacy. The series touches on issues of race, institutional failure and the quest to find common ground in a polarized Britain.

Fortunately, there will soon be a way to see for ourselves in a new format.

Image Comics will publish Life House as a graphic novel on Dec. 6, and a vinyl-shaped hardcover will be part of its musical accompaniment: the Who’s Next/Life House box sets, dropping on Sept. 15. The cumulative story is not just for Who fans. The sci-fi community may have a future classic on their hands.
