In a clear break from his James Bond past, Daniel Craig has stunned audiences at the Venice Film Festival with his performance in 'Queer,' playing a drug-addicted gay American. The film, directed by Luca Guadagnino, features intimate love scenes in 1950s Mexico, a far cry from the debonair spy persona Craig is known for.

Oasis has announced additional concert dates for their UK and Ireland comeback tour, due to overwhelming demand from fans eager to see the band perform live after a 15-year hiatus. The band, whose landmark debut album 'Definitely Maybe' was released 30 years ago, originally split in 2009 following public feuds between brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher.

The Toronto International Film Festival is embracing changes brought about by the streaming era, said TIFF Chief Executive Cameron Bailey. The pandemic has altered the way audiences consume entertainment, merging the lines between streaming services and traditional big-screen experiences.
