How historic Ealing Studios is hoping to regain ground with £20m revamp

Co-owner of west London studios tells of dunking Victoria Beckham, industry upheavals and 25-year labour of love The first time film-maker Barnaby Thompson visited Ealing Studios it was to shoot Victoria Beckham, who at the time was better known globally as Posh Spice , being unceremoniously plunged underwater. “It was 1997, we were making Spice World and there was a sequence where Posh Spice got thrown into the Thames,” says Thompson, whose film credits include Wayne’s World, the remake of St Trinian’s and an adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband. “We have a tank at Ealing so we shot Posh being thrown into the tank. It was the first time I had been on that hallowed ground.” Continue reading... from Film | The Guardian https://ift.tt/rsEzjnB via IFTTT

Eighteen-Year-Old Leni Klum Discusses Her Contentious Lingerie Photoshoot With Mum Heidi Klum

Regardless of what the critics say, Leni Klum is pleased with the lingerie commercial she photographed alongside her mother. Leni, 18 years old, told Page Six on Monday night at Heidi Klum's annual Halloween party that she "honestly didn't look at a lot of the replies." I am satisfied with the campaign; the day I spent with my mother was beautiful. The photographs came out well, and we had a fantastic time together. Leni told us that she does not read the comments on her social media posts since some people thought the mother-daughter Intimissimi advertisements to be strange and frightening. She admitted that she did not look at it anymore. Since I haven't bothered to look, I have yet to learn what it consists of. The up-and-coming fashion icon was quoted as saying, "I had an incredible day, an incredible shoot, it's out, and I adore it." Leni also expressed her excitement about the possibility of collaborating with her supermodel mother, who is 49 years old. She has my love. She is a source of motivation. I could go on and on about her guidance, work ethic, and many other admirable qualities, Leni told reporters at the glittering gala. It's so much fun to shoot with her. On his SiriusXM show, Howard Stern expressed his disapproval of the Intimissimi ad that the Klums were running, saying, "I looked at it, and I thought, 'This is so f—king out of line.'" It is entirely uncalled for. But you can't tear your eyes away from it. He went on to say that it appears to be a man's [private] fantasy. They are both kissing and hugging each other at the same time. And they're having a good time. Others who use the internet concurred with Stern's assessment, stating that the endeavor gave off an unpleasant vibe.
