International Insider: San Sebastian Spotlight; APOS Report; Al-Fayed Accusations


Johnny Depp at the San Sebastián Film Festival, a report from APOS and the Al-Fayed accusations are featured in this week's International Insider.

San Sebastian regular Christine Vachon spoke at the festival’s creative investors conference, where she lifted the lid on what she described as the “tragedy” behind Todd Haynes’ now-shelved gay romance flick starring Joaquin Phoenix. Some had been perceived that the character had been shown in a sympathetic light following the deaths of Lady Diana and Dodi, but Radford said he was “reluctant to point a finger” at the Netflix show as it was a “drama, not a current affairs program.” The producer, who has also made films about Andrew Tate and Tim Westwood, said his mission was “trying to change the impunity that certain powerful men feel they can act with.” More here, well worth a read. On Wednesday, Paramount’s UK terrestrial channel announced it had commissioned a three-part series titled Phillip Schofield Cast Away, in which the former ITV host would spend nine days and ten nights alone on a remote, unpopulated island off the coast of Madagascar.
