Julia Jacklin has released a cover of the Boys Next Door’s — Rowland S. Howard and Nick Cave’s band — “Shivers,” written by Howard.
Her spin evokes its namesake with its shimmery, harmonic arrangements, and Jacklin’s gorgeous, emotive vocals reflecting the yearning of the original song while giving it a fresh take. “My heart is really on its knees/But I keep a poker face so well/That even mother couldn’t tell,” she sings. “That my baby’s so vain/She is almost a mirror/And the sound...

Oscar Isaac (Moon Knight) is in talks to star in and executive produce the crime thriller series Helltown for Amazon Studios – and if the deal goes through, Isaac will be taking on the role of author Kurt Vonnegut, the writer of such novels as Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat’s Cradle, and Breakfast of Champions. Mohamad El Masri (Severance) is writer, executive producer, and showrunner on Helltown, which is based on a novel by Casey Sherman (pick up a copy Here).
Deadline reports that Ed Berger, director, co-writer, and producer of the Best International Film Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front remake, is on board to direct and executive produce the series.
Helltown is set to consist of eight episodes and will tell the story of Kurt Vonnegut before he was a renowned author and cultural lightning rod. In 1969 Kurt was a struggling novelist and car salesman living life with his wife and five children on Cape Cod.

Once he’s completely finished on FX’s Fargo season 4, Noah Hawley will be jumping into his Star Trek feature at Paramount “as soon as possible” he tells Deadline today. We broke back in November how the Fargo and Legion creator was beaming up for the next sequel in the studio’s franchise.
But two interesting takeaways from our conversation are that it’s not necessarily set in stone yet to star the younger cast of characters from the Bad Robot movies, plus it’s probably not going to be connected to the Alex Kurtzman universe that’s being built over at CBS All Access.
“I have my own take on Star Trek,” said Hawley when we asked him if the sequel will feature the most recent film’s cast, “and going back to what I loved about the series Next Generation, when a lot of franchises focus on ‘might...

There was an eighteen month gap between the first and second season of FX's "Fargo" series which began airing April 2014 and October 2015 respectively. Showrunner Noah Hawley has confirmed that they are targeting a second half 2017 airing but hasn't locked down a specific month just yet.
Reports have indicated Ewan McGregor will lead the new season playing two roles in a story set in the early 2010s and deal with how Minnesota is being imperiled by the invasive rise of social media culture. In a new interview with Vulture, Hawley was non-committal about the future of the series after this point but is happy that he isn't forced to adopt a regular scheduled with it:
"Every time I'm in the middle of one [season] I go, I don't know if there's another one. I know that big corporations don't usually do a mic drop after a success, but one of the things...

Noah Hawley, the acclaimed showrunner of FX's anthology series "Fargo," is keeping super busy it seems. Along with remaining in that capacity on the show's third season which is currently casting, he has numerous other plates spinning in the air right now.
There's the first live-action "X-Men" spinoff series "Legion" which is going to pilot, there's a limited series adaptation of the Kurt Vonnegut sci-fi novel "Cat's Cradle," and there's his feature directorial debut "Man Alive". It's so packed that something has got to give, and it looks like something has - his plans to pen a film for Universal, a project thought to be one of the 'Classic Monsters' cinematic universe films the studio has been developing.

I'm a massive fan of what showrunner Noah Hawley has done with the TV adaptation of Fargo on FX, so I'm extremely curious to see what he'll do with his first feature film as director. Deadline reports that in addition to developing and producing Fargo season 3, an adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, and the X-Men series Legion, Hawley has signed on to direct his first movie, a mysterious sci-fi film called Man Alive.
We don't have any details about the project other than it's description as "elevated sci-fi," and that it hails from first-time writer Joe Greenberg, so we're sort of flailing in the dark on this one. But I consider Hawley a storytelling genius after what he's done with Fargo (especially that first season), so I'll see just about anything that has his name on it. No word about when Hawley will be able to fit this into his busy schedule,...

"Fargo" creator Noah Hawley has extended his production deal with FX Productions and FX Networks for another three years, with two more projects of his on the way.
Hawley will will continue his showrunner duties on "Fargo," continue developing the already announced "X-Men" spin-off series "Legion" and the series adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle," and develop two new projects - "Hellhound on His Trail" and "The Hot Rock".
Based on the 2010 Hampton Sides novel, 'Hellbound' looks at Martin Luther King's assassin James Earl Ray and his violent and haphazard journey towards Memphis. The story also covers the sixty-five day search that lead investigators across two continents and sparked the largest manhunt in American history. Alexander Woo ("True Blood") is penning the project which Hawley will executive produce.
'Rock' is a robbery caper drama series remake of the Donald E. Westlake novel and Peter Yates-directed 1972 film of the same name.

It's been a really long time since we've seen any updates about an adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle." The last we heard, the project, a satire about the arms race which was first published in 1963, was being considered as a feature film but it looks like there's a different future in the cards for this adaptation and so far, it's looking like a great adapation to come.
Last week FX confirmed that it was moving ahead with "Cat's Cradle" as a limited series so rather than a 2 hour movie, we're likely to get anywhere between 3 and 10 hours of material. As a bonus bit of good news, the adaptation is being handled by Noah Hawley who has quickly made a name for himself with his adaptation of [Continued ...]...

AP English teachers and normal Kurt Vonnegut fans can continue to get pumped: Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley has signed onto and pushed the Cat's Cradle TV project that FX and Im Global are producing further into development, according to reports. Hawley will write and Ep for the adaptation, which will be based on Vonnegut's satirical novel of the same name. Brad Yonover and Elkins Entertainment's Sandi Love will also co-ep, THR notes. Still no word on a hard timeline or onscreen personnel info for the project — but hey, ice-nine, Bokononism, and San Lorenzo weren't all built in a day, so this is a good start.

"Fargo" showrunner Noah Hawley has come onboard to develop the limited event series adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's iconic 1963 novel "Cat's Cradle" for FX.
The story involves a man becoming involved with the children of a Nobel laureate physicist who worked on the Manhattan project. The action is mostly set on a Caribbean island populated by a strange cult.
The macguffin of the story is a substance created by the physicist for the military called ice-nine, an alternative structure of water that is solid at room temperature and causes any liquid water it comes into contact with to solidify.
It was abandoned due to the danger it poses - if any amount of the substance comes in contact with any body of water linked to the ocean it would literally freeze the world's seas instantly and wipe out all life on Earth.
Hawley will pen and executive produce the project,...

AP English teachers breathed a sigh of relief today, as Im Global Television announced plans to turn Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle into a TV show, which will hopefully be long enough to fill an entire week's worth of classes. As numerous term papers have stated, the 1963 novel effectively satirizes the postwar obsession with technological progress through the author's trademark use of sarcasm and irony. There's no writer, director, cast, or network for the project yet, but rest assured — nothing in it will be true.

At the closing night awards ceremony, First Time Fest co-founders Johanna Bennett and Mandy Ward honoured Harvey Weinstein for his distinguished career and support of first-time filmmakers. The 400 Blows by François Truffaut and Kurt Vonnegut's book Cat's Cradle influenced him when he went on to distribute Cinema Paradiso. Federico Fellini and Philippe de Broca's Jean-Paul Belmondo movies That Man From Rio and Cartouche were a part of his cinema education growing up in Queens, New York, which may have equipped him for his relationship with Quentin Tarantino.
Previously fêted for their commitment to cinema were Darren Aronofsky, by Martin Scorsese, and Julie Taymor. While waiting for Harvey's arrival, I joined Gay Talese and Tony Bennett for a lively conversation on movies, the demise of burlesque and tennis...

A new documentary, Unstuck In Time, covers the story of Kurt Vonnegut over a period of almost 20 years...
One of the most important American writers of the 20th century, Kurt Vonnegut's novels were full of intelligence and dry humour. Perhaps his most famous work, the semi-autobiographical novel Slaughterhouse-Five, was both a horrifying account of the firebombing of Dresden and a dark time travel comedy.
Such books as Cat's Cradle, Player Piano and Breakfast Of Champions offered up amusing and often worryingly accurate portraits of human nature at its lowest, where lives are ruined or existences snuffed out through naivety or plain madness. In short, Vonnegut was one of the sharpest sci-fi writers of all time.
In 1982, filmmaker Robert Weide wrote to Vonnegut in the hope that the author would let him make a documentary about his life. To Weide's surprise, Vonnegut agreed. Between 1988 and 2007, Weide met with Vonnegut many times,...

Zoe Kravitz and Penn Badgley got close for a kiss in NYC over the weekend. They stopped for Pda after shopping at a bookstore, where Penn picked up a few titles including Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle and Richard Alpert's LSD. Penn and Zoe escaped the Big Apple for the warmer weather of Miami over the holidays. They lounged poolside at their hotel and showed affection while swimming. Zoe's bikini body was on display while Penn went shirtless and let his long hair down in the water. He's still rocking the wild 'do, though we'll have to wait and see if he keeps the style for his small screen character when Gossip Girl returns next week. View Slideshow ›...
