Spoiler Alert: This post contains details from Season 5, Episode 11 of The CW’s All American.
The CW’s All American ended with an emotional twist Monday as the series said goodbye to one of its most beloved characters. While audiences might not have been prepared, it was a moment the writers had been working toward all season.
Head coach Billy Baker (played by Taye Diggs) died saving a student after a bus carrying him and the South Crenshaw High School football team crashed on its way back from a scouting combine.
In the final moments of the episode, his son Jordan (Michael Evans Behling), who was at the scene of the crash, tells his family that Billy didn’t survive.
Billy’s death will likely come as a shock for viewers, since the series has so far spared its main cast even though many of them have previously been at death’s door.

An occult plot is discovered in Gareth Tunley’s terrific shoestring debut as writer and director. Or is it all in the hero’s mind?
First time writer/director Gareth Tunley marshals the meagre resources of this micro-budget psychological thriller and creates a pleasingly perplexing enigma of a movie. Tom Meeten stars, face desolately etched, eyes darting, as Chris, a man whose therapy sessions unearth an occult plot that may or may not be all in his chaotic mind.
Since almost every character here is an unreliable witness or viewed through the eyes of one, this is a narrative that deliberately unsettles and unbalances the viewer, with a looping structure that is somewhat reminiscent of Omer Fast’s Remainder.

The actor on rebellion, the power of fear, why Damian Lewis would never offer advice, and the irrelevance of awards
Tom Sturridge, 30, is the son of the actor Phoebe Nicholls and the director Charles Sturridge, who cast him, aged eight, in the TV series Gulliver’s Travels. After abandoning his A-levels, Sturridge starred in the films Being Julia, The Boat That Rocked and On the Road, and the plays Punk Rock (winning the Critics’ Circle theatre award for most outstanding newcomer), American Buffalo and Orphans on Broadway, for which he was nominated for a Tony. Sturridge has a three-year-old daughter from a previous relationship with the actor Sienna Miller. His latest film, Remainder, adapted from the Tom McCarthy novel, is directed by the visual artist Omer Fast.

★★★★☆ Can memories be trusted to document the past? Visual artist Omar Fast's ambitious debut Remainder, an adaptation of Tom McCarthy's eponymous novel questions the limitations of art as a tool to interpret history. Combining the devious logic of its source material with a stand-out performance by Tom Sturridge, Remainder presents the filmmaking process as an act of remembering. Fast's debut views remembering as a dangerous activity, a form of closed thinking that blurs the line between the real-world and the imagined one.

Who better to film McCarthy’s highly experimental novel than a video artist who had never directed a feature before? The duo talk to Phil Hoad about antiheroes, zombie flaneurs and foreseeing the gentrification of Brixton
One afternoon in 1998, a New York branch of Chase Manhattan bank received an unexpected request from a graduate art student. “The poor woman thought I was going to open some sort of account,” recalls the artist Omer Fast. “My appearance probably told her I wasn’t going to be one of those startup millionaires. But the idea I was trying to sell her was that I wanted to stage a robbery in the bank without telling the customers. The conversation was extremely short.”
“You never told me this!” interjects a tickled Tom McCarthy, whose hypnotic 2005 novel Remainder culminates in just such a staged heist. We’re discussing Fast’s film adaptation of the award-winning experimental book.

This is the fifth year that Iffr has included an Art: Film platform within the CineMart as part of an ongoing attempt to bring art world professionals closer together with their colleagues from cinema.
The initiative has proved very successful, supporting the development of films by Fiona Tan (Tiger contender History’s Future), Phil Collins, Michelangelo Frammartino and others. Nonetheless, the same question is often asked by potential funders - what is it all about?
The artists want to attract “normal” film funding. To do so, they are sometimes asked to pitch or present their projects in a way they find simplistic and reductive. The funders, for their part, can sometimes seem baffled by the esoteric nature of the artists’ projects. Art: Film was designed to help break down the suspicions and misunderstandings between the two worlds.

For many actors, Downton Abbey was their first big break in television.
But not everyone can be a Lord Grantham or a Carson. For many - whether they chose to leave or were written out - their fortunes changed after exiting the ITV drama.
So after the news that Dan Stevens has joined Beauty and the Beast, Digital Spy looks at the careers (so far!) of 9 actors who have bowed out of Highclere Castle...
1. Ed Speleers
After starring in series three, four and five of Downton, Ed Speleers left Jimmy Kent behind for another role in a big budget British TV drama.
We most recently saw him in the part of Edward Seymour in Wolf Hall, and he will also star in upcoming films Remainder and Howl. Most prominently, he's been cast alongside Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter in Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass.
2. Amy Nuttall...

K5 International has taken on distribution for Martin Zandvliet’s Land Of Mine (Under Sandet) about a sensitive chapter in Danish post-war history.
Zandvliet’s most ambitious film to date after his 2009 debut Applause and 2011’s A Funny Man is inspired by true events where more than 2,000 German prisoners of war were forced shortly after the Second World War to clear mines laid by German occupying forces along the Danish West coast. More than half of the young Germans were killed or seriously maimed.
Roland Møller, who made his screen debut in Tobias Lindholm and Michael Noer’s prison drama R, is cast in his first lead role as the Danish Sergeant Carl Leopold Rasmussen in charge of the prisoners, with Mikkel Boe Følsgaard, who received a Silver Bear as Best Actor at the 2012 Berlinale for his performance in A Royal Affair and was a Shooting Star last year, as Lieutenant Ebbe.

Exclusive: Thriller directed by Omer Fast acquired for international sales by The Match Factory.
The Match Factory has boarded international sales on Remainder, visual artist Omer Fast’s thriller now in pre-production.
Soda Pictures will distribute in the UK and Ireland; Piffl Medien has German rights.
Tom Sturridge is set to star in the story, adapted from Tom McCarthy’s novel, about a man who has to reconstruct his past out of lost memories; he gets a large financial settlement for an accident he can¹t remember without any wholly reliable witnesses.
Fast, who writes and directs, said the film is “an elliptical thriller about a person whose past catches up with him when he’s most vulnerable: In absolute control.”
The film will shoot for six weeks on location in London and Berlin this spring; post-production will be done in Hamburg.
Fast’s artworks are in permanent collections at Tate Modern and Lacma; his latest installation...
