Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson reveal major Cape Fear changes

Published by Daniella Wilson

Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson have opened up about how Apple TV’s new Cape Fear series reinvents the classic thriller – including one major change to the Bowden family. The new 10-part psychological horror thriller stars Javier Bardem as Max Cady, the notorious killer previously played by Robert Mitchum and Robert De Niro, while Adams and Wilson play married attorneys Anna and Tom Bowden. In previous versions of the story, the central lawyer figure was Sam Bowden, played by Gregory Peck in the 1962 film and Nick Nolte in Martin Scorsese’s 1991 remake. But in this version, there is no Sam Bowden – with creator Nick Antosca instead introducing Anna and Tom as two new characters whose lives, marriage and family are bound up in Cady’s conviction. Speaking exclusively to Radio Times, Adams explained that making Anna the defence attorney opens up a very different dynamic between her character and Cady. “I think us flipping the gender on the defence attorney allows for a lot more complication and power dynamic between the two of them,” …

William Adams, the Bombay bureaucrat whose vision of a solar future was dashed by colonial conservatism

William Adams, the Bombay bureaucrat whose vision of a solar future was dashed by colonial conservatism

Published by skeptic

William Adams was entranced by energy. As a young man, his interest was nursed by working as a clerk in a London patent office in the 1860s. This gave him an early look at some of the first British designs for exploiting solar energy using mirrors, water or both. Adams would later recount his excitement at reading about the French mathematician Augustin Mouchot’s invention of the first machine ever to run on energy from the Sun. The device, which connected a solar boiler to a specifically designed steam engine, was warmly received by Napoleon III when it was presented to the emperor in 1866. Inspired, Adams soon designed and patented his own rudimentary solar boiler. The only problem was, he needed more sun. This series is dedicated to lesser-known, highly influential scientists who have had a powerful influence on the careers and research paths of many others, including the authors of these articles. When offered the chance to become deputy registrar of Bombay by the Indian city’s governor, Sir Philip Edmond Wodehouse, Adams jumped at …

Ansel Adams Trust Slams Danziger for AI-Generated Artwork

Ansel Adams Trust Slams Danziger for AI-Generated Artwork

Published by Jenni Sidey

The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust released a statement on Saturday slamming the recent decision by New York’s Danziger Gallery to offer an AI-generated artwork referencing the famed photographer’s work at the 2026 edition of the AIPAD Photography Show in April. The artwork, which still appears on Danziger’s website, does not contain a title but is headlined A.I. GENERATED, From the prompt: Make a realistic color version of Ansel Adams’ iconic “Moonrise Over Hernandez”. It is listed as printed by master printer Esteban Mauchi. Danziger offered the piece in its booth at the fair—which ran from April 22 to April 26—alongside work by Seydou Keïta, Hoda Afshar, and Matthew Porter, among others. Related Articles In the statement, the trust said it “did not authorize, endorse, consent to, or acquiesce” to the work being exhibited or offered for sale and claimed that the piece “exploited Ansel’s name, reputation, and his most iconic image, while failing to identify any human artist responsible for its creation.” The trust said further that it was not notified by the gallery …

Derrick Adams to Install Portrait of Koyo Kouoh in Venice This Week

Derrick Adams to Install Portrait of Koyo Kouoh in Venice This Week

Published by Jenni Sidey

The untimely passing of curator Koyo Kouoh, the artistic director of the 2026 Venice Biennale, has been deeply felt throughout the art world for the past year. Now, artist Derrick Adams will pay tribute to Kouoh via a monumental installation in Venice this week. A banner version of his collage Heavy is the head that wears the crown (2026) will be installed on the facade of the Palazzetto dello sport Giobatta Gianquinto, facing the Rio della Tana, near the Arsenale, one of the Biennale’s main venues. Done in his signature style, this newly realized work features a portrait of Kouoh, whose face and arms are rendered as different geometrical shapes; above her head is the word “JOY,” from which golden rays radiate. Related Articles “My hope that this important contribution acts as a reminder that the ongoing fight for what is right requires most of our attention, and we make space to give those we respect their flowers for their commitment to the creative community,” Adams told ARTnews in an emailed interview. The idea for creating this tribute came …

What to taste, see and know at L.A.’s Maydan Market in West Adams

What to taste, see and know at L.A.’s Maydan Market in West Adams

Published by Sam Flores

Lugya’h, the counter inside Maydan Market run by Alfonso “Poncho” Martinez and Odilia Romero, began opening Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays this month at 8 a.m. Their improvisational morning menu will draw from the cuisine of Oaxaca’s Sierra Norte and the Indigenous cooking of Martinez’s Zapotec culture. The anchor dish, though, is certain: breakfast tacos. All in on Maydan Market this week I demolished a plate of them last weekend. Breakfast at Lugya’h was a late development during weekly meals I’ve had at Maydan Market over the last few months. The thrilling, overwhelming possibilities kept me returning. It all came together this week in two stories in The Times: A review of Maydan L.A., the sit-down restaurant operated by the market’s creator, Rose Previte, and a ranking of my top 10 favorite dishes so far among the other six fast-casual operators occupying the 10,0000-square-foot space. When we reach the 2030s in nearly three and a half years, I’m betting Previte’s West Adams project will stand as one of the most important culinary arrivals during this fraught …

Eric Adams, former ‘international mayor’ of New York City, becomes an Albanian citizen

Eric Adams, former ‘international mayor’ of New York City, becomes an Albanian citizen

Published by Sam Flores

NEW YORK — Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced Friday that he had become a citizen of Albania, putting him one step closer to his oft-repeated dream of leaving politics behind for a life abroad. Adams, a Democrat, received the honorary citizenship “at his request,” according to an official decree from the country’s president, Bajram Begaj. The news was first reported in the Albanian press and confirmed by a spokesperson for Adams, who said the ex-mayor had “long been a friend and ally of the Albanian-American community.” “The decision by the Republic of Albania to grant Mayor Adams citizenship reflects that enduring relationship and mutual respect,” the spokesperson, Todd Shapiro, said in a text message, adding that the recognition “further strengthens the bond between New York and Albania.” Adams, who once described himself as an “international mayor,” has previously expressed an affinity for the small Balkan nation. His adult son lived in the country while competing in Albania’s version of “American Idol” and Adams traveled there himself in October — one of several international trips …

Bill Addison reviews the live-fire feasts at Maydan L.A. in West Adams

Published by Sam Flores

First-timers arriving at the West Adams complex that Rose Previte spent six years creating can be forgiven a bit of confusion if their destination is “Maydan.” Are you headed to the food hall, or the restaurant? Maydan Market is what Previte calls the whole of her incredible 10,000-square-foot project inside a former factory for the very niche specialty of coin-collector pages. Underneath its exposed beams of wood and steel, seven dining options now orbit a central hearth wrapped in bronze. For six of the vendors — serving cuisines that encompass regional Mexican, Thai and Cal-Med — the setup is casual. Settle at a tiled table, zap the QR code and scroll through menu pages. In minutes you can be twirling a fork around pad Thai from the team behind Holy Basil and then reach with both hands for a giant, crackling wedge of L.A.’s most celebrated tlayuda. Maydan L.A., on the other hand, is the market’s sole full-service restaurant, located in the back of the space. It’s partitioned by a long, tiled bar along the …

Meghan Markle responds to Suits co-star Patrick J. Adams after on-set behavior comment

Published by Daniella Wilson

Meghan Markle is showing that there’s nothing but love between her and her former Suits co-stars, if but a little delayed. The Duchess of Sussex was brought up a couple times by her former co-star and on-screen love interest Patrick J. Adams during his appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast. When Patrick was asked by host Amanda Hirsch whether he’d ever received a handwritten note by Meghan, he confirmed that he did, and even called her penmanship “impeccable,” and Amanda added that she’d received one too, alongside her shipment of As ever jam. “Did you? You got a jam? I did not get a jam,” he exclaimed, with Amanda saying he needs to “get on the list.” She even quipped that she hadn’t yet opened the jam because she considered it too sacred, with her handwritten letter from Meghan kept in its own box.

Gerry Adams calls IRA ‘undefeated’ as he denies being a member in court | UK News

Published by Sam Flores

The IRA was “undefeated” and “defied all attempts to criminalise them”, Gerry Adams told the High Court, as he denied being a member. Mr Adams, who served as president of the Irish republican party Sinn Féin from 1983 to 2018, is facing a legal challenge from three men who were injured in bombings carried out by the Provisional IRA. Accused of being a leading member of the group when the bombings happened, he was challenged with a statement which boasted that the militants would follow his orders, spoken by a solicitor who represented him in the 1980s. Image: Masked IRA Provisionals at the funeral of hunger striker Bobby Sands. Pic: PA Responding, Mr Adams said it was “not accurate”, but added: “They were undefeated, they defied all attempts to criminalise them, to coerce them, they made the right call when they eventually made the call, and they had the maturity and intelligence to choose the right way forwards.” He was also asked about a statement given by the late Brendan Hughes, who was detained alongside …
