Gal Gadot to play Cleopatra in new Patty Jenkins film

"I love embarking on new journeys," Gadot tweeted. "I love the excitement of new projects, the thrill of bringing new stories to life.Cleopatra is a story I wanted to tell for a very long time. Can't be more grateful about this A team!!"

Laeta Kalogridis -- whose credits include Alexander, Shutter Island and Alita: Battle Angel -- is writing the script and will executive produce the epic for the Paramount Pictures.

The last time Cleopatra got her own movie was Elizabeth Taylor's 1963 classic, Cleopatra.

Wonder Woman 1984, the sequel to 2017's Wonder Woman, is set for theatrical release this winter.

Survivors reorganize in new trailer for 'The Stand'

Video ThumbnailCBS All Access released a 2-minute trailer for its upcoming miniseries remake of Stephen King's The Stand.

The program is to debut on CBS All Access on Dec. 17. It stars Whoopi Goldberg, Alexander Skarsg�rd, James Marsden, Amber Heard and Odessa Young.

"The world is now a blank page. Make your stand," Goldberg's leader Mother Abagail can be heard saying in Friday's preview, which offers a glimpse at a post-apocalyptic world where most of humanity has been wiped out by a virus.

Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" -- with its reassuring lyrics, "Don't worry about a thing cause every little thing's gonna be alright" -- plays in the background of the clip.

Marsden's Stu is seen addressing a group of survivors about Mother Abagail's intentions.

"She brought us altogether to keep us safe in these uncertain times," he tells his audience.

"Mother Abagail told us that there are two sides to the world. There is the good and then there is a deep well of darkness," Young's Frannie said.

King's novel was previously adapted as a 1994 miniseries starring Gary SInise, Ruby Dee, Rob Lowe and Molly Ringwald.

Margaret Nolan, 'Goldfinger' model and star, dead at 76

NEW BestSellersMargaret Nolan, an actress best known for starring in 1964 James Bond entry Goldfinger and who was painted gold for the film's title sequence, has died at the age of 76.

Nolan's son Oscar Deeks, a cinematographer, confirmed his mother's death to Variety.

The official Twitter account for James Bond also announced Nolan's death and paid tribute to the actress.

"We are very sad to learn that Margaret Nolan has passed away at the age of 76. Margaret played Dink in Goldfinger (1964) and also appeared painted gold in the iconic opening credit sequence and on the Goldfinger poster. Our thoughts are with her family and friends," the James Bond Twitter account said.

Nolan also starred in 1964 Beatles film A Hard Day's Night and a number of movies in the Carry On series including Carry On Matron, Carry on Henry VIII, Carry On At Your Convenience, Carry On Girls and Carry On Dick.

She additionally appeared in No Sex Please, We're British, Toomorrow and television shows Steptoe and Son, The Sweeney, Last of the Summer Wine and Spike Milligan's Q series. Nolan took a break from acting in the 80s and starred in 2011 film The Power of Three.

Filmmaker Edgar Wright, who worked with the actress in his upcoming film Last Night in Soho, paid tribute to Nolan on Twitter.

"She was the middle of Venn diagram of everything cool in the 60's; having appeared with the Beatles, been beyond iconic in Bond and been part of the Carry On cast too," Wright said.

"I worked with her last year as she plays a small role in Last Night in Soho. She was so funny, sharp and, as you might imagine, full of the most amazing stories. I'm so glad I got to know her. My heart goes out to her family and all that loved her. She will be much missed," Wright continued.

Broadway to remain closed through May 2021

Broadway productions will remain closed through May 2021.

The Broadway League said in a press release Friday that it is extending the performance shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ticket holders for shows through May 30 should contact their point of purchase for exchanges and refunds.

"With nearly 97,000 workers who rely on Broadway for their livelihood and an annual economic impact of $14.8 billion to the city, our membership is committed to re-opening as soon as conditions permit us to do so. We are working tirelessly with multiple partners on sustaining the industry once we raise our curtains again," Broadway League president Charlotte St. Martin said.

Broadway performances were initially suspended in March and later canceled for the remainder of 2020. The theater community had hoped to return to the stage in January.

Several shows, including Disney's musical Frozen, and Edward Albee's revival of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, have said they won't return when Broadway reopens. A Music Man revival starring Hugh Jackman will now open in 2022, according to Deadline.

The Tony Awards, which recognize excellence in Broadway theater, will take place during a virtual event in the fall. Aladdin and Hamilton actor James Monroe Iglehart will announce the nominations Oct. 15.
