King Viserys is the real villain in ‘House of the Dragon’

season 1, a very familiar name popped up as Jefferson Hall made his prequel series debut as not one but two Lannisters, twin brothers Jason, Lord of Casterly Rock, and Ser Tyland. “It was a real treat when it came up and there’s obviously a lot of pressure because they were much-loved and much-hated characters and very popular characters,” Hall tells ET about bringing the family back to life 200 years in the past in HBO’s adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s novel, . The actor, who briefly appeared in season 1 as the newly anointed knight Ser Hugh of the Vale, takes on the far more substantial roles as the two siblings, who will play increasingly larger parts in the overall battle for the Iron Throne as the series continues to unfold. For now, crafty and calculating Tyland (who dons shorter hair) was introduced as one of the men of King Viserys’ (Paddy Considine) council, while the far more boisterous and prideful Jason (appearing with longer locks) made his intentions known to Princess Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock). While speaking to ET, Hall opened up about playing the two Lannisters, how much he drew from the family’s portrayals on and what fans can look forward to.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Most of the time, documentaries don’t get sequels, which is strange. Unlike their scripted fiction counterparts, the story doesn’t end when the cameras stop rolling. If you’ve ever attended a filmmaker Q&A after the screening of a great documentary, you know the first question from the audience is almost inevitably either “What’s happened since?” or “Where are they now?” Bryan Fogel must have heard that more times than he can count in the five years since his game-changing Russian sports doping doc “Icarus” won the Academy Award. “Icarus: The Aftermath” is his response, a daring and sure-to-be-divisive movie that’s even more shocking than the 2017 original, even if the big news is already out of the bag.

You could have heard a pin drop during the gala opening night of Opera Australia’s production of The Phantom of the Opera August 26 at the Joan Sutherland Theatre at the Sydney Opera House. The audience was packed with celebrity Sydneysiders in bow ties and gowns but the real stars of the evening were Josh Piterman, Amy Manford, and Blake Bowden.This trio of truly gifted performers, surrounded by a stunning supporting cast and orchestra, powerfully delivered the musical’s signature songs, Music of the Night, Think of Me, All I Ask of You, the awesomely beautiful Masquerade, and of course the main title song, with vitality and power.This new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s mega-musical adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s novel, overseen by producer Cameron Mackintosh, and director Seth Sklar-Heyn is simply superb on every level.While the story of an obsessive and dangerous love in 19th-century Paris is now familiar to many, it’s the exquisite attention to detail which delivers the magic to this new staging.The  27-piece orchestra under the musical supervision of Guy Simpson is phenomenal, and the production is elevated even further by truly glorious stagecraft. The Phantom of the OperaThe lush costuming by Jill Parker, recreating the original designs of the late Tony award-winning Maria Bjornson is stunning, and the hair and wig design by Angela Cobbin is perfection.The lighting design by Tony Award winner Paule Constable and the sound design by Mick Potter is also extraordinary, with some terrific video and projection design by Nina Dunn.There is also a wonderful use of pyrotechnics throughout the show and of course the thrilling and iconic moment when the chandelier falls towards the heads of the audience still inspires
