Romanian actress Alina Șerban (Housekeeping for Beginners, Alone at My Wedding, Gipsy Queen) is inviting us on a cinematic journey into the experience of being a Roma woman.

I Matter (Eu Contez), which she wrote and directed, is her feature directorial debut, and it will get its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on Sept. 8.

The movie, featured in the Venice Spotlight section of the fest, looks to break new ground. After all, it is described as “the first film by a Roma woman to be selected for an A-list festival,” and it brings, as the press notes highlight, “an intimate and empowering first-person perspective to the screen” as a young woman “struggles to keep [two] worlds from colliding.”

Șerban draws on her own experience to explore identity and belonging from a Roma woman’s perspective.

“Through Rebeca’s eyes, I want to invite the audience into this world and to understand what it is like to live as a minority in a society where being ‘normal’ so often means being white and growing up in a family,” she shares in a director’s note. “As a Roma woman, I have faced many difficulties that have shaped the way I see the world, including poverty, discrimination and even eviction from my childhood home. Growing up, I was made to feel ashamed of being Roma. It took me years to let go of that shame and embrace my culture. But it took me even longer to speak freely about what spending part of my youth in a children’s home meant to me.”

So, what’s I Matter about? “As she stands on the verge of leaving the orphanage she called home, Rebeca, a young Roma girl, clings to the hope that her father’s release from prison will finally give her the family she has always longed for,” reads a synopsis. “When she is accepted into university to study acting, life finally seems to be opening up for her. But just as Rebeca begins to find her place in this new world, the life she comes from starts to catch up with her.”

In other words: Rebeca struggles to keep her two worlds from colliding. “But as those worlds begin to close in around her, she is forced to make choices she can no longer postpone and to find a new way forward.”

Denisa Farcaș stars in the movie, along with Sorin Mihai, Angelina Pavel, Vanessa Dancea, Raisa Mihai, Alexandru Stancu, Alina Berzunțeanu and Natalia Călin. Radu Voinea handled cinematography, with Ion Ioachim Stroe editing the film.

I Matter is produced by Ada Solomon’s microFILM, 2PilotsFilmproduction, Frakas Productions in coproduction with ZDF – Das kleine Fernsehspiel in association with ARTE, Lemming Film Belgium, Avanpost Media, Orange & Be tv, Proximus, Shelter Prod, Romanian Television. Pluto Film is handling sales.

THR can now exclusively premiere a first-look clip from I Matter, plus the poster for the film (see above).

The Ozzy Osbourne biopic is one step closer to becoming a reality, as the script for the project in development at Sony Pictures is “done,” according to Jack Osbourne.

The late Black Sabbath frontman‘s son shared the film update in an interview with E! News Wednesday, where he shared how he hoped to give the fans a movie “they want.”

“You know, we’re doing the Ozzy movie with Sony. And, I’m always saying in the meetings, ‘We’ve got to give the fans what they want. We can’t make this artsy, kind of esoteric biopic,’” he said. “No, we’re not doing that—for many reasons—but it’s not what the fans want.”

He added: “Script [is] done. We’re currently going out to directors. Yeah, we are very – it’s gung-ho.”

When asked if he had someone in mind to play his legendary father, Osbourne confirmed that there is already a performer on their radar.

“We do. I’m not allowed to say,” he said. “But conversations have been had, and if it all works out, it’s going to be awesome.”

Regarding the Osbourne family’s controversial decision to turn the late Prince of Darkness into an AI avatar, the producer defended that “everything is going to have an AI fingerprint as some point.”

“Ultimately, it’s about preserving the digital fingerprint of my father,” he explained. “That’s the core essence of it. Yes, it could be utilized for other things. But, ultimately, it’s about getting ahead what is the inevitability.”

Osbourne’s update comes nearly five years after the rocker shared on X that Sony Pictures and Polygram Entertainment were developing a biopic chronicling his extraordinary life. Per the statement, the film would take a look at his career, as well as “the great love story between him and his wife, Sharon.”

“The film will be written by Academy Award nominee Lee Hall (‘Billy Elliot’),” the announcement added at the time.

The Osbourne patriarch died at the age of 76 in July 2025 following a heart attack. His passing followed a number of a health hurdles for the singer, including coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease.

His family, including Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis, issued a joint following his death, writing, “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

Jelly Roll fired back at Fox News’ Jesse Watters after the conservative commentator suggested on air that the singer had “Trump Derangement Syndrome” caused by Ozempic use.

The Grammy winner, who is serving as the guest host for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” this week, weighed in on Watters’ commentary during his Wednesday night monologue, where he doubled down on his criticism of President Donald Trump amid pushback from the right.

“Well, speaking of cheese balls, let’s talk about Donald Trump,” Jelly Roll quipped during his comedic address. “The president is doubling down on his ridiculous trade war with Canada. And they’re saying this could lead to higher prices for several products, including whiskey, smartphones, but most alarmingly, toilet paper. It’s going to be a real World War Two-ply.”

He added: “But you have to admit, there is something poetic about it being so expensive to wipe our ass just because the president’s full of s–t.”

As Jelly Roll went on, he acknowledged that he’s been “poking fun at POTUS over the past few nights,” explaining he was simply “trying to fulfill my duties as a late night comedian.”

“And it’s gotten a lot of reactions from a lot of people on both sides of the aisle,” he said. “But today, I’m really starting to feel like my pal, Jimmy Kimmel, because my monologues caught the attention of the gang over at Fox News.”

The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” editors then teed up footage from Watters’ broadcast, where he celebrated “TDS Tuesday,” noting he was “raising awareness for one of the most infectious mind viruses sweeping the nation.”

“Trump Derangement Syndrome. Next up to bat, Jelly Roll,” Watters said in the footage. “They should put a warning label on Ozempic. Side effects can include increased risk of TDS. If you notice signs like irritability, depression and trouble sleeping, please see a doctor.”

In response to this segment, Jelly Roll told the studio audience that Ozempic was “the only drug I haven’t tried.”

“I know it sounds unbelievable, but I lost weight the old-fashioned way. Cocaine,” he said. “No, seriously. I got in shape before the GLP1 craze started. And I’m kind of proud of the fact that I did it through diet and exercise.”

Though, Jelly Roll admitted that his weight loss pre-GLP-1 did make him feel like “a dude who bought the last horse and buggy a day before they started selling cars.”

“By the way, I can’t believe out of all the jokes I’ve told the past few nights, the one that really seemed to make people mad … was when I said [Trump] was overweight,” he sounded off. “I thought fat-on-fat crime was okay. I mean, we can debate whether this president is mentally fit, but I think we can all agree he is certainly not physically fit.”

Jelly Roll then noted that he hoped to be an inspiration for Trump, adding, “If I can lose all that weight, he can too. And in fact, there is a new medication on the market designed specifically for him.”

The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” team then played a spoof ad for “Donjaro,” a parody weight loss drug just for the president. Watch Jelly Roll’s full monologue above.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on ABC.
