Three and a half years after Anthony Rapp accused Kevin Spacey of trying to seduce him when Rapp was 14 years old and Spacey was 26, the disgraced actor is returning to the screen, ABC News reports. Italian actor Franco Nero, best known in the United States for starring in the 1966 spaghetti western Django and playing one of the villains in Die Hard 2, has cast Spacey in a small role in L’uomo che Disegnò Dio ( The Man Who Drew God), written by Lorenzo De Luca and Eugenio Masciari.

Advertisement Dick: That doesn’t just apply to people’s love of artists. It applies to the much bigger issue of incest, how the entire society does it. The feedback we’ve been getting is that this is not just a film about Woody Allen and the family, even though it focuses on it a lot. It’s also about how society looks at incest.

I’ve talked about Promisin...

It’s the voices I can’t get out of my head. Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick’s four-part documentary Allen v. Farrow, which begins airing on HBO Sunday, is an exhaustive recounting of the evidence that Woody Allen sexually molested his 7-year-old adoptive daughter Dylan in 1992, featuring on-camera interviews with witnesses, experts, and even, at length, Dylan herself. Most of the allegations have been aired before, although they’ve never been marshaled into such a potent public case for the...

Vanessa Springora’s memoir, Consent, electrified the French literary world. American readers will find it exhilarating.

Whedon wasn’t the only person who made Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and he shouldn’t be the one to take it down.

He was not only vulgar on the stage in comedy. >> thats his schick, if i may. he talks about what hes being accused of doing in a sense on stage and gets laughs for it. >> there has been celebrities taken to social media previously accusing him of various things. but we have reached out repeatedly to his treeam for comment and havent heard back. but unfortunately this is another celebrity coming out in the weinstein fallout and kevin spacey scandal. >> add him to the list. because unlike you the...
