Centering on events in the lives of Bobby’s colorful Bronx family, the film is a glittering valentine to the movie stars, socialites, playboys, debutantes, politicians, and gangsters who epitomized the excitement and glamour of the age. Bobby’s family features his relentlessly bickering parents Rose (Jeannie Berlin) and Marty (Ken Stott), his casually amoral gangster brother Ben (Corey Stoll); his good-hearted teacher sister Evelyn (Sari Lennick), and her egghead husband Leonard (Stephen Kunken).

    Reese Witherspoon (right) with makeup artist Molly R. Stern Photographed by Miller Mobley on Nov. 5 at Studio 1342 in Los Angeles “ A few years ago, I was like, ‘I don’t like these lines on my face,’ and Molly goes, ‘Um, those are smile lines. Don’t feel bad about that,’ ” says Witherspoon. “She makes me feel better about how I look and how I’m changing and makes me feel like aging is beautiful.” Styling by Carol McColgin On Witherspoon: Dries Van Noten top. On Stern: m.r.s. top. Beauty in the eye of the beholder? No, today, beauty is in the eye of the Internet. This, 2015, was the year that beauty went fully social, when A-listers valued their looks according to their “likes” and one Instagram post could connect with millions of followers. Case in point: the Ali MacGraw-esque look created for Kendall Jenner (THR beauty moment No. 9) by hairstylist Jen Atkin. Jenner, 20, landed an Estee Lauder con- tract based partly on her social-media popularity (40.9 million followers on Instagram, 13.3 million on Twitter) as brands slavishly chase the Snapchat generation. Other social-media slam- dunks? Lupita Nyong’o’s fluffy donut bun at the Cannes Film Festival by hairstylist Vernon Francois (No. 2) garnered its own hashtag (“They're calling it a #fronut,” the actress said on Instagram. “I like that”); THR cover star Taraji P. Henson’s diva dyna- mism on Fox’s Empire (No. 1) spawns thousands of YouTube tutorials on how to look like Cookie Lyon; and Cara Delevingne’s 22.2 million Instagram followers just might have something do with high-end brow products flying off the shelves.

  • Filmnation Entertainment to Launch International Sales for Action Comedy American Ultra at Afm
    FILMNATION ENTERTAINMENT TO LAUNCH INTERNATIONAL SALES FOR ACTION COMEDY AMERICAN ULTRA AT AFM JESSE EISENBERG AND KRISTEN STEWART TO STAR New York – Monday, November 4, 2013 – FilmNation Entertainment announced today that they will handle international sales for all territories, including Canada, for PROJECT X director Nima Nourizadeh’s AMERICAN ULTRA. Sales will begin at the upcoming American Film Market in Santa Monica. Academy Award nominee Jesse Eisenberg (NOW YOU SEE ME, THE SOCIAL NETWORK) and Kristen Stewart (TWILIGHT franchise, SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN) will star in the action comedy, written by Max Landis (CHRONICLE). The film is a Likely Story and Circle of Confusion production. It is being produced by Anthony Bregman for Likely Story, and by David Alpert and Britton Rizzio for Circle of Confusion. Executive producers are Kevin Frakes of PalmStar Media Capital and Raj Brinder Singh of Merced Media Partners. AMERICAN ULTRA is about an unmotivated stoner named Mike (Eisenberg), who lives with his girlfriend Phoebe (Stewart), in a small, sleepy town. One night, their lives take an unexpected turn when Mike's past comes back to haunt him, and he becomes the target of a government operation set to wipe him out. Producer Anthony Bregman said, “Simply put, American Ultra will be the most fun you can possibly have in a movie theater without the use of drugs, fireworks, or canola oil.” FilmNation CEO Glen Basner said, “Nima and Max have created a film that is entirely fresh, fun and action-packed. American Ultra is going to be a blast!” AMERICAN ULTRA is set to begin shooting in April 2014.
