Game Of Thrones, saying it was “never the show that pleased everybody”.The HBO series, which came to an end in 2019 after eight seasons, gave Emmanuel her international breakthrough in the role of Missandei, who acted as an advisor to Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke).Speaking to NME about the show’s controversial end three years later, Emmanuel said: “It was never the show that pleased everybody or had happy endings. When was it ever doing what everyone wanted it to?“Watching it as Nathalie the fan, I have my favourite characters and my own ideas about what happened to them or who I would love more time with.”Among the criticisms of the final season was the death of Missandei – the only leading woman of colour in the show and a former slave – who was graphically decapitated by The Mountain (Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson) in front of Daenerys, Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson) and Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage).Speaking about the backlash to Missandei’s death, Emmanuel said: “I think her killing really speaks to how there can be more than one person of colour on these big budget shows.“I think when we do these shows in the future, we need to have this idea of inclusion at the forefront and a diversity of thought and ideas all the way up the chain.”The first Game Of Thrones spin-off, House Of The Dragon, debuted last month.

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent On Friday morning, Timothée Chalamet blasted the social media world we are living in at the Venice press conference for Luca Guadagino’s “Bones and All” in which he and co-star Taylor Russell play cannibal lovers on a road trip across America. Taking his cue from the fact that the story is set in the ’80s, when social media did not exist, Chalamet went on an anti-social media tirade. “I think true to that sentiment. To be young today…I can’t imagine what it is to grow up without the onslaught of social media,” he said. “And at least here [in ‘Bones’] there are characters wrestling with internal blood lines vis-a-vis [struggling with] growing up with Instagram or Twitter; trying to figure out where they fit in with that.”

Thania Garcia Romeo Santos is back with the highly-anticipated third installment of his “Formula” series, “Formula Vol. 3,” which comes today via Sony Latin. This time around, the set boasts collaborators like Rosalía, Christian Nodal, Santos’ own children and Justin Timberlake — who croons a few lines in Spanish for the ballad “Sin Fin.” Keeping with the tradition of the previous volumes (which featured George Lopez and Kevin Hart), “Formula Vol. 3” starts with an introduction by comedian Katt Williams and transitions into the set’s second track “Bebo,” a signature melodramatic Santos bachata tune. For the most part, “Vol. 3” falls in line with the traditional Dominican and guitar-based sound that helped make Santos a leader in the genre as the frontman of Aventura. The Timberlake-assisted “Sin Fin,” naturally, has its pop tendencies and “Culpable” with El Lápiz Consciente interpolates the 1995 hip-hop smash “I Got 5 on It.” But even when other genres are introduced, the set remains anchored in its slow and sensual bachata melodies.

Guy Lodge Film Critic Just before director Christopher Nolan’s upcoming “Oppenheimer” plants a fixed image of Ted Hall in the popular imagination, along comes Steve James’s sensitive, studious documentary “A Compassionate Spy” to preemptively set any records straight. Unpacking the life and work of the prodigious teenage Manhattan Project physicist who passed key information about the endeavor to the Soviet Union — cuing an adulthood dogged by suspicion and secrecy — the film demonstrates its director’s characteristic nose for strong material and knack for gripping, straightforward storytelling. If the filmmaking is more televisual than in James’s best work, with its flourishes limited to some unnecessary dramatized passages, that should be no impediment to “A Compassionate Spy” commanding a sizable audience on multiple platforms.

Out gay British Olympic gold medalist Tom Daley is receiving praise for his new documentary film ‘Illegal To Be Me‘ that explores the lives of gay athletes, many living in countries where homosexuality is illegal. Daley said the shooting the film exposed him to the fact that the laws against homosexuality in Commonwealth countries were a legacy of British colonialism. Tom DaleyIn a social media post, Daley revealed that he had been travelling around the world meeting other gay athletes for the film. “This year I have been travelling around the Commonwealth, visiting countries where same sex relationships are a crime,” said Daley. “I have spoken to athletes, advocates and activists to try and find out how they think sporting federations can better support and protect LGBTQIA+ athletes. The people in the documentary highlight the importance of visibility for queer people and it taught me an incredible amount about how we can continue the fight for equality,” said Daley. Ahead of the Tokyo Olympics, Daley had in October 2021 said that he was on a “mission” to get the Olympics to ban countries where homosexuality is punishable by death.Tom Daley (centre) with LGBTQI advocates and athletes at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham.Last month, at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, Daley along with six other LGBTQI athletes carried the Queen’s baton into the stadium. “In over half of the Commonwealth countries, homosexuality is still a crime and in three of those countries the maximum penalty is the death sentence.
