IF: John Krasinski confirms Brad Pitt plays invisible character Keith

One of the IFs remains invisible to a key human character, though, and trips him up so he falls flat on his face. After that, the character utters, “Thanks, Keith” to his imaginary friend.

In the end credits, the invisible IF Keith gets a coveted “and introducing” credit, a esteemed mention in showbiz that’s generally reserved for actors who make a splash in their first movie appearance. In this case, however, the credit reads, “And introducing Brad Pitt as Keith,” which effectively adds one more name to IF’s already impressive ensemble.

Fincher talks us through the off-screen torture of making ‘Seven’

By any reasonable measure, David Fincher had made it by 1990. He was directing rapturous music videos for Madonna (“Express Yourself,” “Vogue”) and doing lucrative ads for top brands worldwide. The production company he co-founded, Propaganda Films, had cornered the MTV market, helping launch the careers of such future notables as Spike Jonze and Antoine Fuqua.

But there was Hollywood to conquer and Fincher, not yet 30, rushed headlong into his feature debut, one that no superfan of Ridley Scott (also a genius director of commercials) could pass up: the third movie of the “Alien” franchise. While it has since found a hardcore base of defenders, 1992’s dour, much-mussed “Alien 3,” a troubled production, was a disappointment that Fincher has largely disowned.

Quentin Tarantino Is No Longer Making ‘The Movie Critic’ as His 10th Film

Brad Pitt was in talks to star in the project and the film was scheduled to shoot this year, but the director is stepping away.

Quentin Tarantino is going back to the drawing board for what will be his 10th and final film. Tarantino is stepping away from “The Movie Critic” as his 10th feature and will no longer be making it, IndieWire has confirmed.

The news is a major shock, as the project had Brad Pitt in talks for the lead role and even rumors that Sony was circling the project to release it after previously releasing his prior film, 2019’s “Once Upon a Time In Hollywood.” The film even secured a California tax credit to shoot in Los Angeles and was meant to begin shooting earlier this year, but was delayed due to Tarantino reportedly rewriting his script.

Chanel’s new campaign showcases a love story between a man, a woman, and an iconic bag…

A story of hidden desire and falling in love unfurls over a conversation across an intimate table with Penélope Cruz and Brad Pitt in Chanel’s latest campaign.

Expressed as Penélope’s favourite movie of all time, the scene recalls the notable moment from Claude Lelouch’s 1966 film A Man and A Woman, where the iconic Chanel handbag sits amidst an air of love and intrigue.

Presented not as a remake, but rather a homage to the legendary film, the roles are reversed here; while Brad plays a coy Trintignant, a man flushed with love, Penélope reprises the female lead, with an air of self-assurance, as she free falls into her deep desires with her bag by her side.

“Anouk Aimée was a Chanel woman, that character,” Penélope said in behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot. “So it makes total sense that the bag was there in the middle of the table during their conversation in the restaurant.”

A symbol of freedom yet exuding an air of mystery, Chanel’s iconic bag gives meaning as it transforms along with Penelope’s role of a woman in love.

Here, Bazaar Arabia shares a look at Chanel’s latest ad campaign.
