Kaya Scodelario says she and "most" of her 'Skins' co-stars are "very close". The 31-year-old actress shot to fame alongside the likes of Nicholas Hoult, 34, Dev Patel, 33, and Daniel Kaluuya, 35, in the hit noughties teen comedy drama series, and despite them all going on to have successful movie careers, they still share a special bond and keep in touch. She told Radio Times magazine: "Most of us are very close - we joke that we're all trauma-bonded from it. We weren't actors, we were just kids who were given this incredible opportunity. No one could believe that a show about a bunch of teen...

Daniel Kaluuya has turned down a fashion campaign because a brand wanted to team him with white actors who “had not achieved as much” as he has in their careers. The ‘Get Out’ actor, 34, who won an Oscar for his role in ‘Jesus and the Black Messiah’ also declared he wanted to make sure he was “representing right” with his brand choices.

Daniel Kaluuya felt 'The Kitchen' would be a "lesser story" if he had been starring in it. The Oscar-winning actor has co-directed and co-written the new sci-fi drama and explained how he had to remove his "ego" by not taking an acting part in the flick – which closed the BFI London Film Festival on Sunday (15.10.23).

The 'Barney' live action movie will focus on "Millennial angst". Mattel Films executive Kevin McKeon has given a hint of what to expect when 'Nope' star Daniel Kaluuya brings the beloved purple dinosaur to the big screen, and the team want to take an interesting approach. He told The New Yorker magaine: "We’re leaning into the Millennial angst of the property rather than fine-tuning this for kids. "It’s really a play for adults. Not that it’s R-rated, but it’ll focus on some of the trials and tribulations of being 30-something, growing up with Barney—just the level of disenchantment within the...

The 29-year-old actress - who recently starred in slasher flick 'Pearl' and can next be seen in another scary film, 'Infinity Pool' - insisted the Oscars need to "change" because nominations aren't always based on the "quality" of a project, with certain genres routinely ignored. Asked why she thinks horror films are scarcely recognised by the organisation, she told 'Jake's Takes' host Jake Hamilton: "I think that it's very political. "It's not entirely based on the quality of a project per se. There's a lot going on there ...

Jordan Peele wanted to pay tribute to 'Akira' with a scene in 'Nope.' The 43-year-old director was at the helm of the 2022 neo-Western science fiction horror film - which stars Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer as a brother and sister attempting to capture evidence of a UFO - and explained that he was inspired to replicate the famous downwards slow-motion slide shot from the 1988 Japanese anime and that the movie introduced him to a world of animation he had not seen as a fan of the Walt Disney classics. He said: "It was an expensive VHS. Straight up, like, $25 or $30. Coming from being raised to...
