Nicole Kidman’s upcoming Paramount+ drama series “Discretion” has added Stephan James and Colton Ryan in supporting roles.

James (“I Play Rocky,” “If Beale Street Could Talk”) and Ryan (“The Girl from Plainville”) will join previously announced stars Nicole Kidman, Elle Fanning and Josh Lucas in the A24-produced legal thriller adapted from Chandler Baker’s short story, which is now in production.

James will play Logan, a sharp corporate associate who becomes a mentor to Lenny (Fanning), while Ryan stars as Boone, Lenny’s ex-boyfriend and a recovering addict from an affluent Dallas family, now nine months sober living at a halfway house while quietly trying to rebuild his life, per the character descriptions.

Fanning stars as Lenny, a summer associate at a prestigious Dallas law firm who uncovers a web of NDAs masking a dark truth.

The legal thriller follows Fanny as she realizes she signed the same agreement and her discoveries put her in the crosshairs of the firm’s most powerful female partner Sharon (Kidman) — upending their mentor-protégé dynamic and raising the question: who gets to keep secrets, and at what cost, per the official logline.

Fanning and Kidman have been attached to “Discretion” since September 2025, when A24 snagged the rights in a competitive bidding war. By October, Paramount+ gave the eight-episode series a straight to series order.

“Discretion” will mark a reunion for Fanning and Ryan, who both starred in Hulu’s “The Girl from Plainville.” Since then, Ryan has starred in “Poker Face” and “Chad Powers.”

James is best known for appearing in “If Beale Street Could Talk,” “Selma” and “War Machine,” and will soon appear as Carl Weathers in “I Play Rocky,” which will premiere at TIFF.

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.

“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.
