Ian Holm, Who Played Bilbo Baggins In Lord Of The Rings, Dies Aged 88

The Bafta-winning actor passed away in hospital in London today, June 19, due to an illness related to Parkinson’s disease.
He was perhaps best known by some for his role in J.R.R Tolkien’s beloved trilogy, appearing as Bilbo Baggins in both The Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King, but he was also recognised with an Oscar-nomination for his role as athletics coach Sam Mussabini in the 1981 film Chariots of Fire

Sixty Years On, And Psycho Remains The Most Influential Slasher Film Of All Time
Icons from the early days of Hollywood would have found it strange to learn that, one day, the most recognisable movie scene in history would show a shrieking woman being stabbed repeatedly in the shower.
This scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960) is so visceral, so striking that those yet to watch the film can immediately visualise Janet Leigh’s wide, hopeless scream; the blood oozing quietly between the tiles.
At just 45 seconds long, this scene marked a shift which would resonate throughout the decades; birthing what became known as the slasher genre and much more.

Friends Co-Creator Says They Hope To Start Shooting Reunion In August
The co-creator of Friends says the reunion special should begin filming in August.
David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Courteney Cox and Matt LeBlanc will be back together on TV for the first time in the HBO Max Special, where they will discuss the highlights of their time on the much-loved show.
It was originally due to air in May, but then coronavirus happened, and now Marta Kauffman has revealed they're aiming to start shooting in August.
Speaking to The Wrap, she said: "We are hoping to be able to shoot in August, if all is well and there is no early second wave and the studio is open.
"If everything is in place and we understand all the protocols and we can still make a good show, we'll be shooting it some time, mid-to-late August."
It was originally billed as an unscripted show, but Kauffman suggested it will involve 'ways of looking at this that doesn't just feel like a mini-doc' and will feature 'components that are fresh and new'.
