Here's a quick roundup of stories you might have missed.

See Hugh Jackman in Florian Zeller's The Son
The trailer for Florian Zeller's The Son, a follow-up to The Father, his Oscar-winning screen adaptation of his Tony-nominated play of the same name, has arrived, and it's intense. Starring The Music Man headliner Hugh Jackman and Oscar winner Laura Dern, the film arrives on November 11. Adapted by Zeller and Oscar winner Christopher Hampton, The Son tells the story of Peter (Jackman) as his busy life with his new partner and their baby is thrown into disarray when his ex-wife Kate (Dern) turns up with their teenage son, Nicholas. He's listless, skipping school, lying and thinks that moving in with his father and new family may help. When he doesn't settle there either, he decides that going back to his mother's home may be the answer. When change feels like the only way to survive, Nicolas struggles with what to do when the options begin to run out. The play had a sold-out run at London's Kiln Theatre, followed by a West End transfer in 2019. Watch the trailer below.
