Jenna Coleman's next film, All of You, is slated to debut at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 7!
Jenna has a supporting role in the film, which I confess fell off my radar. She's not actually mentioned in the above blurb for the movie's debut at TIFF. But hopefully a trailer and images won't be far behind. (There is a fan-made trailer that was posted to YouTube a month ago; I don't count that. There was also a film of the same title released 6 years ago)

Finally we have a synopsis for Jenna Coleman’s new film: All Of You, and a mention of her role in the film:
All of You drops us in a virtually indistinguishable near-future, where people have the option to seek out their soulmate by way of an unexplained eye test. It’s not mandatory, but millions opt in to find their alleged true love, leaving Simon (Goldstein) conflicted when his best friend Laura (Poots) decides to partake. Over the course of the next several seasons of their lives, Simon watches as Laura builds a life with her supposed soulmate, Lukas (Steven Cree), and Simon attempts to find his own lover in other women (Zawe Ashton and Jenna Coleman). As they begin to acknowledge that their years of friendship have undeniably become something more, Simon and Laura are forced to deal with the complications of their entangled lives.

The ask you got from alexa-santi-author about Goldstein's Instagram post saying Zawe is second from romantic lead. The IMDb page for the film has Imogen Poots as Laura as the romantic lead role who is in the film still with Brett as the two friends posted on the TIFF tweet. I don't know what to interpret from this why Zawe is second from romantic lead.
Jenna Coleman is also tagged mentioned in Goldstein's Instagram post yet neither Jenna nor Zawe are on the IMDb cast for All Of You
Zawe is listed on IMDb. We don’t know what role she has.
As for Jenna, generally IMDb updates are based on published info like the TIFF announcement, which was picked up by the trades. Zawe was mentioned in that, but Jenna wasn’t. They usually don’t update based on an IG post, but you’re welcome to edit the page. They may remove it until it’s confirmed by a different source, though.

Ending an awfully rough month with one of the gentlest films for this week’s Monday Philm: A Late Quartet (2012), dir. Yaron Zilberman. Hard to pick just ten shots for this post when the movie—and Phil as Robert Gelbart—are so gorgeous throughout.
In the brief making-of featurette Discord and Harmony, Phil talks about how this isn’t a film where someone is dying, no one is robbing a bank—it’s just about life and regular people going through real struggles in their relationships, reckoning with their lives up to now. That really allows the characters (and actors) to shine, making use of the smallest nuances to show how the quartet has fallen out of tune.
So many little things I love about this film, especially on this watch—Robert’s damp, messy, fresh-out-of-the-shower morning hair at the start. His impression of Daniel’s accent. The balance between the cold, undersaturated blues and greens of New York City in the winter and the rich warm tones found in the music, in bed, in the concert hall. I’m not too familiar with Christopher Walken’s career but he brings such a quiet sadness to Peter’s loneliness. Imogen Poots is overacting but it’s kind of camp? Robert’s gives a little laugh, and PSH’s voice is so deep, so bass, it rumbles the speakers on my old TV a bit. For a film about music, there’s an awful lot of silence—which serves as tension, cut softly by an up-bow or violently by Robert’s outburst. 
Especially loved the scenes of Robert jogging through Central Park, because in less than a month I’m gonna be running through Central Park in this year’s NYC half marathon! It’s a funny, full-circle moment when I think about it, since Phil is one of the primary reasons I’m running it to begin with!
I started rambling a bit here so I’m just gonna throw it under a cut:
I’ve mentioned before that Phil confided in a friend that he felt this was his best performance. It’s interesting to watch A Late Quartet with that thought in mind. His friend partially agreed, later writing that this performance was the start of what should’ve been—the next, deeper, more powerful, incredible chapter of Phil’s career. He is so clear-eyed, so in control of his body, in sync with the story and his fellow actors and the music. He took violin lessons and was quite good, apparently to everyone’s surprise lmao. Robert’s pain goes so deep, uncertainty and doubts and fears of not being good enough stretching back 25 years, and PSH shows it with the tears in his eyes, a quavering voice, glares of restrained fury and deep breaths.
Anyone at all familiar with Phil Hoffman is probably aware of how hard he was on himself—almost comically, often infuriatingly humble and/or self-critical, take your pick. So I’m glad he was proud of this performance and recognized his own strengths here. He was and is so loved, outside of his work, just for who he was, for being himself, someone so many people would move heaven and earth for. I know I would love him anywhere, doing anything. I’d love him if he fulfilled that fantasy of running away to work at a gas station in the middle of nowhere, unknown and unrecognized, or his other idea of moving to France to teach English, or if he stayed at the deli forever. That’s just how the stars are crossed. But I’m also grateful for what he did do, the souls he brought forth from his own, the lives he lived onscreen and left for us. It’s acting and it’s art and it’s so much more.
Feeling especially emotional tonight because it’s the end of February, the longest shortest month, and this has been a particularly terrible one. It’s one of those illogical quirks of love and grief that he is the reason this time is unbearable and he is also the reason I am able to bear it. Gd, words fail. I just didn’t know what life meant until I met him, is all. Love you in the snow and love you in the sun, Phil.

DAMIE MENDEZ SILVA ( tommy martinez ) is looking for their (ADOPTED) SISTER. they would be 33+ and look like ADRIA ARJONA, IMOGEN POOTS, AUBREY PLAZA, KATE SIEGEL, ANA DE ARMAS, MAIKA MONROE, NAOMI SCOTT, UTP . you DO need to contact them at @thickskill before applying. more info on this connection is available under the readmore.
TW: drug mention, adoption
firstly, it's worth pointing out that damie's older sister is actually his cousin (or other extended family member), who his mother adopted when he was three. she is two years older than him (up to change). the background and reason for her needing to be adopted is utp.
they were pretty much best friends growing up together in ponderosa park, under the care of damie's mother who was a functional addict with a soft spot for y/m. y/m became a keeper for her in many ways over the last ten years, after damie left town, helping her to stay on track, almost parenting her. recently, y/m convinced their mother to seek help for her dependency. (read more info in damie's bio here )
since damie moved back into their home in the last year, they've been bickering mostly because y/m wants to sell the house, and he doesn't want her to. he is also depending on his sister financially (due to his secret, mentioned in his bio).

            BACKSTORY
Odette was born to Queen Anneliese and King William, but, Anneliese died in childbirth, leaving William to raise their daughter alone.
Rothbart, an evil court warlock, plots to conquer William's kingdom with dark magic, but he fails when the king sends a surprise party to arrest Rothbart, but William decided to banish his former chancellor from the kingdom. Before before he leaves, Rothbart vows that he will take everything that the king owns and loves.
Years later, Odette is brought together with young Prince Derek, Queen Uberta’s son. King William and Queen Uberta hope that their children will fall in love and marry when they are older to join the two kingdoms.
As adults, Odette is forced to meet again with Derek. She is reluctant to do this again until she sees him and falls in love with him. Derek is forced to meet again with Odette as well. He is reluctant to do this again until he sees her and he falls in love with her. After they had their first dance together, Odette and Derek shared their first kiss.
During the ball, Derek announces to arrange their wedding immediately and he tells Odette that he wants to marry her for her beauty. When Odette asks Derek what else matters to him besides beauty, he replies, "What else is there?" This makes Odette upset and she rejects him once again.
That night, Princess Odette and King William return home but they are stopped by Rothbart, who turns into the great animal and attacks them. King William's injured captain returns to Queen Uberta's castle and informs Derek about the attack. Derek quickly rushes to the scene, only to find a dying King William and Odette gone. After William’s assassination, Rothbart takes Odette to his lair at Swan Lake and puts a transformation spell on her, which turns her into a white swan by day and a human once again by night in the lake under the moonlight. He mentions that the spell can only be broken when the man she loves makes a vow of everlasting love to her and proves it to the world.
Rothbart asks her to marry him, so he can take control of the kingdom legally, but she refuses to do this because she is in love with and being betrothed by Derek ever since she was a baby and she does not love Rothbart because he killed her father while transformed into the great animal and wants Odette to be his wife. She hopes that Derek will come to rescue her and take her to Uberta's castle where Odette will marry Derek and there's nothing can Rothbart do to stop her. During her imprisonment, she befriends a turtle named Speed and a frog called Jean-Bob.
During the song "Far Longer Than Forever", Odette claims that her love for Derek was gentle, sweet, and kind and Derek also claims that his love for Odette was "stronger than the earth" and he would make "a vow of everlasting love" to her. After the song, an injured puffin bird named Puffin crashes near them and he is nursed back to health by Odette. Puffin soon devises a plan to reunite Odette with Derek. They would lure Derek to Swan Lake at night so he could see Odette transform into a human. Odette agrees.
Puffin and Odette find Derek in the woods, but he mistakes Odette for the great animal and he tries to kill her using his bow and arrows. She quickly flies back to Swan Lake as the night gets closer, with Derek following her. When she transforms back into her normal self, the two share a short-lived reunion, with Derek telling Odette to come to the ball tomorrow night to meet him there. As he left, Rothbart appeared from behind the tree, carrying Derek's bow and he finds out about the ball. Odette weeps when Rothbart tells her that there will be no full moon the next night and she is unable to transform back to her normal self again.
The next night, she is imprisoned in the castle dungeon with Bromley, who got lost in the woods when hunting down the "great animal" together with Derek. Rothbart sends his old hag, Bridget, disguised as Odette under his spell to the ball to trick Derek into making a vow of everlasting love to her because if Derek mistakenly makes his vow of everlasting love to the wrong person, Odette will die.
Puffin, Jean-Bob, and Speed help free Odette from the dungeon and she quickly flies to the ball, hoping that she will get there in time to warn Derek but she finds all the ways into the castle are blocked, much to her disappointment. As Derek makes his vow to the fake Odette, she suddenly feels weaker due to Rothbart's spell that drains her life source, therefore killing her.
Rothbart made an appearance after Derek made his vow and he reveals his plan to him. Derek quickly rushes back to Swan Lake to meet Odette again for the last time. Odette weakly flies back to Swan Lake and was transformed back to her human form as she touches the ground. Before she dies, she tells Derek that she loves him and dies. Heartbroken and enraged, Derek angrily demanded that Rothbart bring Odette back to life but Rothbart refuses and only promises to bring her back if Derek succeeds in killing him. Derek engages in an intense fight against Rothbart, who turns into the "great animal" once more and he overpowers him, nearly killing Derek.
Puffin remembers the bow that Rothbart threw into the lake and he sends Jean-Bob to fetch it. Bromley escapes from the dungeon through the hole Speed made and gives Derek an arrow to shoot Rothbart with. Derek fires the arrow at Rothbart's chest, killing him and Rothbart crashes into the lake.
The spell was broken and Odette comes back to life. Derek says that he truly loves her for her courage and kindness and he has always truly loved her for that. At the end of the film, Derek and Odette are married and they become the future king and queen of the fair kingdom, uniting their kingdoms as Derek and Odette's parents hoped. Before going to the moonlight bridge, Derek and Odette make a promise to love each other for the rest of their lives.

THIS STORY HAS A HAPPY ENDING
Filth (2013) x Murder in Mind (Teacher, S01E01) -- Everyone Lives AU
After being revived from his nearly-successful suicide attempt, Bruce Robertson decides to become the person he was before his mental break, hoping to receive visitation rights to see his daughter, Stacey. Mostly sober, drug-free, and on new mood stabilizers, Bruce returns to the Edinburgh Police, accepting the demotion to Constable and his assignment as an assistant to DS Amanda Drummond who makes sure that his homicide skills are still put to use. The two of them form a friendly (if shaky) bond while working together, and Bruce begins to think being assigned to her isn’t as punishing as he’d thought before.
One of Drummond’s college friends, DS Reymond McCorkindale, requests Drummond and Bruce to assist him in a string of mysterious deaths centered in Bristol, England, and they head down for the consultation. Once there, they find a tenuous lead in the form of a twenty-something rent boy, Martin Vosper, who claims that one of his regular “clients” might be involved. Bruce ends up taking Martin in while they remain in Bristol, trying to get him cleaned up and off the streets, much to the young man’s protest.
The deeper they go, the harder it is for Bruce to keep a dangerous secret: though he is no longer hallucinating from various aliments and self-medication, Bruce has been having visions of possible deaths and the dead themselves since his resuscitation. They begin to overwhelm him while in these unfamiliar surroundings, and is soon confronted as to how he was able to predict and stop Martin’s close call with the killer with no obvious leads. Bruce confesses, but finds out that Drummond and McCorkindale have similar secrets. They begin to piece together the facts about the killings that have nothing to do with the human world, and everything to do with the supernatural, leading them to a most unlikely killer.
--
Originally inspired by stumbling on a ton of excellent James McAvoy character crossover fanworks while searching for X-Men fanart on Pixiv) and then devouring all the media I could find. I have a lot on my plate as far as writing goes, but Filth hit me like a train when I saw it, and I was itching to do something with it, specifically trying not to do a traditional “redemption” arc for someone who’s done the things Bruce Robertson’s done, but had been a decent person to strive to be again. (Movie canon only because uhhh book canon uhhh that’s basically impossible.)
Since these two stories take place in a similar timespan (I’m setting it in the late 90s), I decided to smash them together and add some spooky elements for spice. The big changes, aside from Seeing Dead People: Martin’s taken up on his “cheaper” offer and not murdered; Bruce’s visitors hear the chair go down and rescue him.

All of You, a science fiction film in which Jenna Coleman plays a supporting role, has been announced for streaming on Apple+ in 2025. I don't know if this is just North America or not.
Jenna's role would appear to be small as no reviews I've seen mention her, but better than nothing!
As of this writing a release timeline has yet to be announced for the SF action film Control, which Jenna filmed another supporting role for just before her pregnancy was announced. Presumably it too will be in 2025. With its star James McAvoy being a pretty big name that one has a chance to get theatrical distribution rather than just film festivals and streaming which has been the case for Jenna's recent films (none of which I personally have been able to see yet, including her nearly-5-year-old Klolkkenluider). One of these days maybe she'll take a role in another Marvel movie or something.

Here's the link to the film under it's original title (but no mention of Zawe or Brett acting in it (just has him listed as writer).
Ok where was Deadline when this was filming?
No clue!
It looks like it’s based on a short film Brett Goldstein wrote/acted in 11 years ago.

‘Outer Range’ Star Imogen Poots on the Big Finale Twists and Her Hopes for Season 2
How did you initially get involved with “Outer Range?”
I was sent the pilot script the summer before we ended up shooting. And I just thought it was really cool and made an audition tape. I think my boyfriend spent 2/3rds of a day helping me do it. And then I was like, No, it’s not good enough. I threw it away and then did it again. That’s how it started. And I spoke with Brian and Zev, the people who created the show, and learned about the other cast members who were coming on board and yeah, that’s the way it began.
When you talked to Brian, how much did he tell you about Autumn? How much of that backstory was there from the beginning?
The large reveal and the final episode, I knew about. They told me that about three days before we started filming. They had like a year, but they told me three days before. Which is I think is a good thing because it actually meant I was sitting with a real person rather than a twist.
I didn’t know a hell of a lot. As the scripts came in, I learned more. And that’s one of the difficulties of television is you don’t have the full picture initially, like you do with film and theater where you can… You know what you’ve ordered with a three-course meal, whereas this is surprising. But what that does is it keeps you incredibly present because each scene and each episode is its own microcosm. And you have to be ready to engage. I really enjoyed that challenge. I was very aligned with her quest to also find out more, I suppose.
And what is your understanding of her quest?
Well, I was aware that she had a poverty of knowledge. And she was looking to certain writers like Simone Weil, who was mentioned in the script. She was adopting other people’s modes of thinking. And obviously in, I think it’s 7 or 8, she repeats that mantra from “Dune.” She’s someone who, by the end of the season, I understood was far down the rabbit hole of that fixation on maybe this notion of the American hero and that you could become invincible. But her quest, it felt initially familial. It felt like she was trying to figure out who she was, like many of us do, her ancestral roots and stuff, but quickly combining that with a sense of place and home. We would call it nostalgia, but I think for her, it was like gold. It was like a toxic lacerating quest to find out the truth. Because I knew she was Amy, I understood she would’ve been in and out of that hole. I knew that her relationship with death would be perhaps quite casual. Whereas if we think about all of us, death is the only certainty. It’s the cutoff point. What does a life without that threat do to your relationships with other people?
You have so much ground to cover too, in terms of her taking this medication for bipolar disorder and has these messianic tendencies. What was the hardest thing to wrap your head around in terms of your portrayal of Autumn, and how did you do it?
I think the stuff I found hardest was at the beginning of the show. I’d been told by a couple folks when we started filming, people were really worried about the character of Autumn and quite panicked by her as a figure in the show. And I couldn’t wait to get going. I felt like the challenging stuff for me was earlier on when she hadn’t yet subverted or I hadn’t yet been able to subvert that curious wide-eyed omnipresent nymph-esque character.
And I think in a good way, in a way that was useful for the character was often felt not held back, but bound by something else. And it was fun to get that release. That’ve been something which everyone was really encouraging about. That I’m aware that a lot of people have disliked her as a character. And I think that’s quite fun. Maybe it’s more predictable to want to like that kind of a character and what she represents. It was fun to get to do the thing that a lot of actors get to do, but a lot of actresses don’t, so that was fun.
When we see Autumn in the future she is clearly a cult leader of some kind and by the end of the first season she seems to be well on her way. Did you ask Brian to fill in those gaps?
Yeah, I was, I’d say it was like an ongoing conversation. But the truth is, it’s not so difficult to pick up a newspaper and find a less extreme version of this character.
You think about the notion of wanting to be president, what does that say about a person? There’s something, the ingredients, what if those ingredients fall into the wrong body as we’ve seen evidence of in history. And I think there’s something that was fun to piece together and deeply sad about someone who feels that poverty of identity that they had to embody other thinkers or lean on, even that mantra from “Dune,” that sort of that sense that you can be a superhero. There’s something sort of very insidious about that, I think.
But Brian would tell me about the backstory a bit. And it was quite freeing. It was quite freeing not to know too much, I think. And I could come up with my own reasoning behind certain things because she’s alone and there’s no one to challenge her points of view. That’s how I felt about her. What happens to a person who’s left alone, who’s got really gotten deep in and can fall victim to a cult and can encourage others to do the same?
It’s almost like playing two different characters too, because future Autumn is a completely different person than the person that walks onto the ranch. What was that like?
Yeah, that was cool. I think that needed to happen because I remember them coming towards me with like a makeup brush and I was like, “No, not this character.” But then I was like, “Okay, it’s the future, it’s fine.” And we had to have that to differentiate between the two. But no, it was interesting. I think she’s got a lot of people inside of her. I don’t think, Autumn well, does Autumn know who she really is? Obviously she really doesn’t because otherwise she wouldn’t be in the show. But there’s something about that. She’s role playing. She’s not a shape shifter exactly but I think it’s easy for her to shed the skin.
Let’s talk about the scene of you psyching yourself up in the bathroom, which seems to be the emergence of Autumn as the potential spiritual leader.
Shooting that was so cool because Larry Trilling, our director who did 7 and 8, he was an invaluable asset for the show because he was the one who sat me down and was like, “I think this is where she gets metaphysical. I think she becomes something else personified at this point.” And that was a really fun, open-ended gift actually to get from a director, very freeing. And also he was someone who was keeping tabs if it went too far, they could bring me back. It’s the perfect temperature of a working relationship.
And that scene was amazing because what we have is a stunt double of my character dressed identically. She was doing the boxing stance with me. We were like mirroring each other and the camera came up behind her and then she stepped out of the way. It was just a very clever way of formulating that shot.
And in terms of the actual mantra, it’s lifted from “Dune.” It was really interesting. I used to be really obsessed with hearing poets read their own work. And Allen Ginsburg, when you hear him recite “Howl” in that monotony and that tone, he barely takes a breath. It just comes out like a train on train tracks. I felt like there was something similar to that. It shouldn’t be a performance. It’s inside her, that rhythm that then sets her up to do what she does, which is takes part in a shootout, I guess.
What was it like shooting that final scene and what is your understanding of Autumn’s place in the family going forward?
Yeah, that well shooting that shootout was really fun and I always get really scared around guns and not confident with them. And we had an incredible crew and weapons handlers, so everything felt incredibly safe and then you can do your work. So that was fun. I just don’t like working with guns, but that was fun despite that. And then getting past sort of being ripped to shreds by Tom Pelphrey, who said that in my onesie I looked like, I think it’s like a character from like an American toilet cleaner or something, or a toothpaste figure. It’s some weird character who wears a red onesie apparently. When I wasn’t being ridiculed, I felt very cool in my red one piece. And it just felt like a different show at that point, felt like we were almost parodying something.
The rest of the show didn’t all feel like that but it felt other in a really interesting way. And then in terms of my feeling about the family, it was very strange. I felt quite uncomfortable with that. When Josh was laying me in the bed, it’s like trying to calm down an incredibly feral dog. I felt like a feral dog who was being told that they could now rest and it didn’t feel right. It felt strange. Kudos to Josh, because he carried me across a vast plain and we were doing it in one shot at like four in the morning. And just before we exited frame, I got the giggles when I was supposed to be passed out, so we had to do it all again. It was a fun ending to a very like intense show.
Should the show return, what do you think is next for Autumn?
I certainly have my own hopes for her as a character and the show. It’s unknown at this point, what happens going forward. There are whispers that it will, but then you don’t know. I think with anything as well, because I’m not used to doing stuff more than once anyway. For me I’m kind of like, oh one and done and we made a show about what would happen if a hole appeared on an American pasture. And that’s enough for me. But I also would love to be back with this bunch of actors and creatives again. I get the impression that of course things that were written in season one and things that took place and were set up to be furthered in a second season. I certainly know things that would potentially happen if we were to go again, but we’ll see if the world wants to know.

Any suggestions for the elder Liddel sister?
Oh, I know our Alice writer would be thrilled to have her sister here! I’d say it depends how much older you want to make her, and what “style” of resources you want. If you want to use an FC of a similar age, but age her up by (at most) 5 years, I see Ellie Bamber, Saoirse Ronan, or Anya Taylor-Joy working, with the former two having that more “dreamy” aesthetic, like Alice. If you want someone older than Samara Weaving (Alice's FC), then I see Lily James, Olivia Vinall, Margot Robbie, Imogen Poots, Dakota Fanning, or Gabriella Wilde also working. (Also, I have to give an honorary mention to Jenna Coleman, as she looks very similar to Alice’s sister in the Disney movie, especially in her role in “Victoria”.) I hope one of those suggestions appeals to you! Let me know if you need any more, and members please chime in with suggestions!

Songs and Inspiration for OCs in my fanfic WitW
I actually based Maja's appearance on an actress, but I didn't mention it in the notes because, who cares, right? But today, I felt like posting it.
But first, here's a song from 2016, which cropped up in my Discover Weekly last February when I started writing this fanfic, and is my current favorite song. So, of course it became its official theme song. I know it starts off weird (which I felt made it so fitting) but please give it at least 2 minutes before you stop playing (or skip to the 1:17 mark to get to the refrain and chorus).
And this song from 2014 which also just cropped up in my Spotify recently and is the song I've been putting on repeat for the last couple of days. I feel like this would play well in that scene in Ch 11 (you know that scene between Maja and Saul where the words "do it" is said).
For the actress whom I based Maja on, please have a look at the gorgeous Imogen Poots. She so pretty!!!

Maja has brown eyes though.
This one is the only one I can find with her hair parted in the middle, but I can see Maja doing her hair like this and, of course, black dress.
For other OCs, for some reason, Hale Madden in my head looks like the character Dane from the show, Theo Graham. I don't make sense, but he's the one in my head, okay?
Tumblr media
For Olive (the girl in the ice cream parlor), there isn't a particular actress, but she kinda looks like this girl here (Amandla Stenberg).
Tumblr media
For Maja's tattoos, like in my reply to @anreeixcobra back in Ch 3, they are a bit abstract in my head and I couldn't find one online. The closest one is below, but replace the planets with stars. Also, Maja's tattoo is only a half-sleeve (up to elbow only).
Tumblr media
The stars' beams are more like the way light beams down below.
Tumblr media
The scars are more straightforward. They're like bangle bracelets. Again, can't find anything online (scarification isn't as big as tattoos), but they look like the tattoos below although with a bit more space in between, and add two more.
Tumblr media
Okay. Now I'll go back to writing chapter 12 (final chapter!!!).
