Filmmaker John Carpenter and actors Colman Domingo and Charlize Theron have been named as this year’s honorees of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures‘ annual fundraising gala in October.

The gala, co-chaired by Robert Rodriguez, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, is set for October 17.

Theron will receive the Icon Award, celebrating an artist whose career has had a significant global impact. Carpenter, a director and composer, will receive the Luminary Award, given to an artist whose singular contributions have expanded the creative possibilities of filmmaking. Domingo will receive the Vantage Award honoring an artist who is helping to challenge dominant narratives around cinema.

“The Academy Museum Gala is a celebration of the artists and storytellers whose work continues to shape the cultural impact of cinema around the world,” said Academy Museum Director and President Amy Homma. “For our sixth annual Gala, we are honored to recognize John Carpenter, Colman Domingo, and Charlize Theron, whose extraordinary careers exemplify the creativity, innovation, and excellence that continues to move the industry forward.”

The Academy previously announced upcoming programs that include Theron in conversation with the museum’s Teen Council on August 22, featuring a screening of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015); Carpenter will host three nights of screenings of his films, including Halloween (1978), on September 26, in celebration of The Horror Show, the Academy Museum’s new large-scale exhibition.

Chu, Kirsten Dunst, Nicholas Galitzine, Ludwig and Serena Göransson, Regina Hall, Kate Hudson, Jessica Lange, Greta Lee, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, Rami Malek, Demi Moore, Olivia Munn, Gina Prince-Bythewood, Questlove, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller Rogen, Bird Runningwater, and Teyana Taylor.

“The Devils” are on their way.

A restored 4K re-release of Ken Russell’s controversial classic, which has been largely unavailable in the United States, is arriving this fall in a limited, one-week engagement beginning Oct. 16, complete with select 35mm screenings. (It will be followed by a U.K. release on Oct. 30 — just in time for Halloween.) And ahead of the re-release, Clockwork, the new artsy Warner Bros. imprint, has unveiled a new trailer, which you can watch below. Those with epilepsy or photosensitivity might want to skip it; there are a whole lot of flashing lights in this one.

The 1971 horror movie, starring Vanessa Redgrave and Oliver Reed, is based in part on Aldous Huxley’s 1952 nonfiction book “The Devils of Loudun,” along with John Whiting’s 1960 play “The Devils.” Reed plays a 17th-century priest accused of witchcraft; Redgrave is the nun who instigates the accusations against Reed’s priest.

Controversial since its release for its frank depictions of sex and violence and what was considered sacrilegious imagery, the film was awarded an X rating in America and the United Kingdom. Elsewhere, it was heavily edited or outright banned. Since its initial release, “The Devils” has been largely unavailable on home video or in revival screenings.

But now, “The Devils” has returned.

This uncensored, NC-17-rated version — the first time Warner Bros. has ever released a film with this rating in its 103-year history — first debuted at this summer’s Cannes Film Festival. “The Devils” also serves as the inaugural release for Clockwork, Warner Bros.’ new specialty label. Talk about making a splash. The film will also screen as part of the Toronto International Film Festival.

See what all the fuss was about when “The Devils” opens for its one-week-only, can’t-miss-it engagement Oct. 16. Hell yes.

Matthew McConaughey has starred in multiple rom-coms, but there’s one in particular that he says still makes him money even after 20 years.

In a new interview, the actor said that How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days still brings him money in residuals after all these years.

“How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is the gift that keeps on giving,” McConaughey said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “I think it’s probably my favorite romcom I’ve done.”

He added, “And it still pays the best mailbox money of any film I’ve ever done. By far. By lengths.”

Other romantic comedies McConaughey starred in include The Wedding Planner (2001), Failure to Launch (2006), Fool’s Gold (2008), and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009), among others.

McConaughey said he used to be able to pinpoint the spike in residuals, saying, “When it used to be just DVDs or cable, every March I’d get a big check because Valentine’s Day.”

“But, I mean, look: the movie for me, for that genre, let me just own that genre. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days … that’s a real anchor in the rom-com genre through time,” he added.

Donald Petrie directed How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, which is based on the picture book by Michele Alexander and Jennie Long. The screenplay by Kristen Buckley, Brian Regan, and Burr Steers revolves around advertising executive Benjamin Barry (McConaughey), who makes a bet he can make any woman fall in love with him. At the same time, writer Andie Anderson (Kate Hudson) plans to write an article about how to make a man dump you.

In an interview from 2024, McConaughey’s co-star, Kate Hudson, revealed she was open to a sequel, saying on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, “All that matters would be the script and if Matthew and I would be into the script. I think we’re both totally open but it’s just never happened.”
