In a surprise announcement following the success of his film “Poor Things,”which received 11 nominations at this year’s Academy Awards and was awarded 4, director Yorgos Lanthimos took no time to announce his new film “Kind of Kindness.” The film is an anthology, telling 3 distinct stories about love, through the dry and dark humor that many have associated with Lanthimos’s screenplays. So what compelled Lanthimos to partner back up with his longtime screenwriting collaborator, Efthimis Filippou, for this new project? Joining us to discuss his latest film is Yorgos Lanthimos, director and co-screenwriter of “Kind of Kindness.”

FilmWeek: ‘Inside Out 2’ ‘Tuesday,’ ‘I Used To Be Funny’ And More

In the new film ‘Firebrand,’ viewers are transported to a more than 500-year-old story, at a time when King Henry VIII ruled England and kept that authoritative approach to his marriages as well. In the case of ‘Firebrand’ we find an older King Henry VIII in his marriage to his sixth wife, Katherine Parr; Parr endures the loss of a friend at the hands of Henry VIII and fights to have control in her relationship. Given the tyrannical nature of King Henry VII, it meant that actor Jude Law had a lot to consider when portraying the royal on the silver screen. So today on FilmWeek, guest host Austin Cross talks to Law about what went into the transformation.
