The real story begins long before you know it in Desert Road, a very smart, trippy chiller that plays with the conventions of survival horror and takes them in a wholly unexpected and, ultimately, really quite moving direction. Making her directorial debut, Shannon Triplett shows a sophisticated grasp of genre dynamics, with a bold use of space — a stretch of the Mojave Desert doubling for Death Valley — that proves more and more gripping as the film’s mysteries unfold. At which point, its boundaries begin to blur, slipping between horror and sci-fi in a way that recalls a hypnotic blend of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead’s The Endless and Herk Harvey’s Carnival of Souls.
The woman in question is Clare Devoir (Kristine Froseth), a twentysomething photographer who is throwing in the towel after too many disappointments as a struggling artist in Los Angeles. Clare is driving home to...

Kristine Froseth was already an established actress and model before she swept audiences off their feet with her performance on The Buccaneers. A local agency scouted Froseth during a catwalk audition in Norway. She later caught the attention of Img Models in New Jersey which took her modeling career to the next level. Froseth has modeled for big brands such as Amani, H&m, and Prada while making progress in her acting career. Just like her modeling career, Kristine Froseth was encouraged to try acting by someone who saw her talent. She began acting in 2013, appearing in a small role...

An intentionally convoluted science-fiction fantasy film about despair and recovery, first time feature filmmaker Shannon Triplett’s Desert Road is just the kind of small film with big ideas that really resonates with the festival crowd. Powered by an impressive lead performance from Kristine Froseth, who spends much of the film on her own, Desert Road explores the confusion and traps of uncertainty that weigh us down, while also attempting to point out the light at the end of the tunnel that represents acceptance. When a woman (Froseth) has a car accident driving down a lonely desert road, it sparks an adventure through time when no matter which direction she strikes out in, she finds herself back at her disabled car. Eternally stuck between a remote...

It’s generally useful, when starting a film, to know the basic premise or general idea of what’s going to happen. “Desert Road” is an exception that proves the rule. Not only is it best that you don’t know what happens in Shannon Triplett’s debut feature, but it’s most impactful if you don’t even know the genre of what you’re about to experience. The film, a chamber piece of sorts set on a scant few yards of a Los Angeles desert highway, hides its plot turns well from the audience and is at its most fun when you’re being caught off guard. The downside to its constant surprises, however, is that the answers it eventually offers are less satisfying than the beguiling mystery it puzzles you with.

A woman, a car, a gas station and a factory — from this minimalist set of locations Shannon Triplett has crafted a surprising work of supernatural suspense in her writing and directing debut, Desert Road, which premiered this weekend at the SXSW Film Festival.

When her car’s tire blows out on the ribbon-like highway, she’s momentarily dazed before coming to and walking back to that gas station to call for help. In a chilling and quickly rendered series of events, she realizes that help is not […]

Driving on a long road trip alone across the country brings with it its share of risks, especially for a woman. Encountering a few sketchy characters and breaking down somewhere far from help are well within the realm of possibility. But getting trapped somewhere and finding it impossible to leave is considerably less likely, even if it does make for a solid movie premise. That’s the situation in which one woman (Kristine Froseth) finds herself as she tries to head to a home that it seems increasingly like she’s never going to see again…...

Confusion and how information is communicated, relayed, and delayed in a thriller can be a fantastic artistic weapon in the filmmaker’s toolkit. With his mathematic precision, filmmakers like Christopher Nolan can understand the Swiss watch nature of perfectly timed breadcrumbs of info that can preserve the mystery and keep an audience enraptured and on the edge of their seats. But the ace-in-the-sleeve of perplexing bewilderment is also a double-edged sword that must be wielded carefully.

As we welcome in the New Year, we can reveal our annual (non-exhaustive) list of U.S. and international movies we think could grace the festival circuit in 2024. We’ve stuck to our criteria that the project must already be in production and have not already been announced for a festival. More than 70% of our selections last year went on to debut at a major festival. Those that didn’t were largely delayed by the strike or are still in post-production. If the titles below make the cut, it will be a thrilling year on the festival circuit once again.

That’s why, when Angie and I set out to do this list, we started with the simple rule: “Nothing from either of our Top 10 lists.” Those performances and those shows have been celebrated amply, and we wanted to cover as many of the year’s standouts as possible.
Oh, and if it seems like most of our favorite performances of the year were from women? You don’t know the half of it. Had we had more time or space, we would have loved to write about Aunjanue Ellis (Justified: City Primeval...

“The Buccaneers” showrunner Katherine Jakeways had Nan St. George’s (Kristine Frøseth) “choice” in the love triangle at the end of Season 1 in mind from day one.
Frøseth thinks Nan brings out playfulness in both of her love interests —Guy Thwarte (Matthew Broome) and Theo (Guy Remmers). She also hinted that Guy brought out Nan’s old self before the big reveal that she was conceived out of wedlock.
In the finale of the Apple TV+ drama series, loosely based on Edith Wharton’s final, unfinished novel, Annabelle “Nan” St. George makes the ultimate sacrifice for her nonbiological sister Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse), who desperately needs to escape her abusive husband Lord Seadown (Barney Fishwick). Instead of running away with Guy, Nan marries Theo, Duke of Tintagel, so that Guy can take Jinny far away from Seadown.
“We always wanted it to be Jinny that she chose,” Jakeways said. “[It] was so...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Buccaneers Season 1, Episode 8, “Wedding of the Season.”] The Buccaneers kept viewers on the edges of their seats on the eve of Nan (Kristine Froseth) and Theo’s (Guy Remmers) wedding, as the lingering question of whether they’d go through with the nuptials hung in the air amid her conflicted feelings for Guy (Matthew Broome), who happens to be Theo’s best friend. It seems that Nan made a choice in the hours before walking down the aisle, giving into temptation with Guy, but when her estranged sister Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse) comes to her desperate for help from her abusive husband James (Barney Fishwick) in the middle of the night, catching Nan and Guy during a private moment, motivations soon change. Ultimately, Nan forgoes running away with Guy and jilting her groom for the safety of Jinny who is sent off in the carriage with Guy, away from James.

The season finale of Apple TV+’s “The Buccaneers,” aptly titled “Wedding of the Season,” culminates with a traditional chapel wedding between Nan St. George (Kristine Frøseth) and Theo, Duke of Tintagel (Guy Remmers).

The Buccaneers on Apple TV+ is an adaptation of Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel of the same name. However, viewers who either read the novel or watched the 1995 PBS/BBC adaptation, will find that the last scenes of the finale “Wedding of the Season” are noticeably different from previous versions.
Although Nan (Kristine Frøseth) is not as much in love with her fiancee Theo, the Duke of Tintagel (Guy Remmers) as she is with Guy (Josh Dylan), she makes the choice of family duty over romantic love to protect Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse) from the social consequences of separating from her abusive husband Lord James Seadown (Barney Fishwick).

Kristine Froseth is used to being the new girl. The New Jersey-born actress moved from Norway and back every few years for her father’s banking job, seesawing between friendships and cultures. Due to her nomadic lifestyle, she struggled to find herself during her formative years, she says, similar to her character Nan St. George in Apple TV’s The Buccaneers.
“I just wanted to fit in so desperately,” Froseth tells Rolling Stone. “So, I adapted to whatever people were doing. I was a chameleon.”

The hallmark of a great ensemble is one where each player feels precisely in-tune with the tone and goal of the film, willing to shine in their moment while sharing the spotlight.

Lest there be any doubt about where The Buccaneers falls on the fantasy-versus-realism spectrum, the closing music cue in the Season 1 finale offers a clear indication of the show's priorities. As Nan St. George (Kristine Frøseth) and Theo, Duke of Tintagel (Guy Remmers) stand at the altar on their wedding day, an occasion billed as "the wedding of the season," if not the century, Taylor Swift's "Long Live" rings out.

The Buccaneers is racing toward its season finale installment, “Wedding of the Season,” and despite the episode’s title, a new exclusive sneak peek look at the episode has us wondering if the wedding of the season between Nan (Kristine Froseth) and Theo (Guy Remmers) will actually happen or not. In the first look, above, the Duke is confronting his bride-to-be as she sits in a pew across from his. “We have to stop avoiding each other,” Nan says, addressing Theo who seems to be having a slight existential crisis. “This tonight, none of it feels the way the night before your wedding is supposed to feel,” Theo expresses his concerns, lamenting the lack of tradition surrounding their impending nuptials. (Credit: Apple TV+) When Nan tries to dispel his doubts by saying, “I think that there’s a lot of nonsense talked about weddings and how you’re supposed to…...

Michael Imperioli (The White Lotus) is confirmed for a role in Academy Award nominee Paul Schrader’s new film Oh, Canada, Deadline has learned.
The actor joins an ensemble that includes Richard Gere, Jacob Elordi and Kristine Froseth.
An adaptation of the late Russell Banks’ 2021 novel Foregone, the film will tell the story of Leonard Fife (Gere), a famed documentary filmmaker who takes stock of his life, with not long to go after being stricken with cancer at 80 years old. The most unreliable of narrators — and of men — Fife offers the viewer a look at his home life, as a draft-dodging artist who abandoned one family for another, consistently evading any sense of responsibility for actions as he starts a new life in Canada.
Elordi plays a young Fife, seen from his late teens through his mid-20s, and Froseth shares 1968-set scenes with the Saltburn star as the character’s second wife,...

While The Buccaneers on Apple TV+ is based on Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel of the same name, the show also depicts some of the real history from the 1870s as well. Wharton modeled the main characters after people she knew during her debutante days and other prominent figures of the era.
Episode 1 “American Poison” introduces Conchita “Conchi” Closson (Alisha Boe) as one of the heiresses representing the new class of business barons in the 1870s. Wharton in fact modeled her character after Consuelo Vanderbilt, the real-life wife of a tycoon.

Adapted from Ediwth Warton’s unfinished novel, “The Buccaneers” tells the story of several young American women who enter the marriage market between old English society and new American society, determined to go about the pursuit of love their own way, no matter what English customs say. Nan St. George (Kristine Froseth) doesn’t exactly have marriage on her mind until she meets first Guy Thwarte (Matthew Broome) and later Theo (Guy Remmers). A tense love triangle ensues, because it turns out Twarte and Theo are childhood friends.
Nan’s sister Jinny has her eyes on the prize (marrying a wealthy man), and their childhood friends the Elmsworth sisters also enter the debutante scene, taking all four of them on a trip to England to visit their fifth friend Conchita Closson (Alisha Boe), who weds Lord Richard Marable (Josh Dylan) at the beginning of the first episode.

It’d be easy to write off Apple TV+’s new series “The Buccaneers” as the service’s attempt to develop its own version of Netflix’s Emmy-winning “Bridgerton.” After all, the show checks a lot of the same boxes. Romance! Opulent costuming! A handsome duke! Uptight English people! But the show, which is inspired by Edith Wharton’s final, unfinished novel, is anything but a copycat.
Set in the 19th century, the surprisingly modern series from creator Katherine Jakeways follows a group of wealthy young Americans who travel to England in search of husbands after one of their own, Conchita (Alisha Boe), weds an aristocrat from across the pond. The result is a lively and entertaining clashing of cultures, as the stuffy families we’re used to finding in traditional period dramas don’t know what to make of these impulsive young newcomers.

The new Apple TV+ series “The Buccaneers” may take place in the 1870s, but the soundtrack is downright modern.
Adapted from Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel, “The Buccaneers” centers on young American women descended from old English society who are making waves in both America and England. Kristine Froseth plays Annabelle “Nan” St. George, the central character who finds herself caught in a love triangle between two very different men — Guy Thwarte (Matthew Broome) and Theo (Guy Remmers) who is a Duke. Marriage is the last thing on Nan’s mind until she meets first Guy, and then Theo.
Other ensemble stars include Alisha Boe as Conchitta Closson, Imogen Waterhouse as Virginia “Jinny” St. George, Josie Totah as Mabel Elmsworth and Aubri Ibrag as Lizzy Elmsworth.

It’s safe to say “The Buccaneers” is the only period piece this year with Taylor Swift on the soundtrack.
Clearly taking a cue from Netflix’s smash costume drama “Bridgerton” — which famously dropped covers of current pop hits amidst all the bodice-ripping — “The Buccaneers” is the latest attempt to make the marriage-market intrigue of 18th-century romance work for Gen Z.
Based upon Edith Wharton’s unfinished last novel, “The Buccaneers” follows five new-money American ladies who travel across the pond to bail out London’s aristocratic families who have good titles but no cash.

Exclusive: Veteran British director Susanna White has revealed she’s working on a feature film based on her teenage life set against changes in the fashion world, as she gears up for today’s launch of Apple TV+ period drama The Buccaneers.
White is developing an untitled script for the BFI, the first time she has written a feature script herself, and the plot is based on her personal coming of age story. “It’s the story of me at 13, set in the world of fashion in early 1970s,” she told Deadline in an interview. “It’s very fun, sexy and hopefully moving.”
We hear the film will follow 13-year-old Gingernut as she grows up with the fur trade’s decline playing out in the background. The plot will see her trying to make sense of her parents’ dysfunctional relationship and include themes of family, growing up, betrayal, love and loss.

Apple TV+’s The Buccaneers opens with a wedding that almost doesn’t happen. As Conchita (Alisha Boe) frets in her family’s New York mansion, Lord Richard (Josh Dylan) pulls up late with a breakup letter in hand, worried his free-spirited fiancée won’t “fit” with his uptight English family. It’s only when Nan (Kristine Frøseth), Conchita’s maid of honor, reminds Richard that nothing matters but their love that he rips up the note and goes ahead with what looks to be the most lavish nuptials of the century.
But what might on another show play as a testament to the power of love will ultimately prove on this one to be a warning of its limitations.

Apple TV+'s "The Buccaneers" is based on an unfinished Edith Wharton novel of the same name. Its large cast includes Kristine Froseth, Christina Hendricks, Alisha Boe, and Mia Threapleton and traces a group of young, wealthy American women as they venture across the pond looking for high-class husbands in the 1870s, focusing on the clash between British and American culture and the lives of the young women of that era.
The show's protagonists and their lives are entirely fictional. However, their tale is based on a real phenomenon that occurred during the late 1800s and early 1900s, when many young American women, flush with new money, traveled across the sea in order to find aristocratic British men to marry.
