Regé-Jean Page to Star in Paramount’s Reboot of THE SAINT
Bridgerton’s Regé-Jean Page is set to star and executive produce Parmount’s upcoming reboot of The Saint.

The story follows Simon Templar, also known as The Saint, a criminal and a thief for hire who goes on an adventure that takes him around the world. Plot details for the film are still unknown, but insiders say this new version of The Saint will be a completely fresh take on the character and his world. Lorenzo DiBonaventura, Brad Krevoy, and Mark Vahradian will produce the film, and Kwame Kwei-Armah is writing the script.

Tracey Ullman Narrating the Latest David Sedaris Audiobook
David Sedaris’ latest book A Carnival of Snackery will be hitting shelves (and headphones) this October. And if you decide to go for the audiobook version of the book, you’ll be treated to a narration from actress and comedian Tracey Ullman. While Sedaris traditionally narrates his own works, this collaboration with Ullman was what Sedaris wanted for this particular book. He explained, “I knew early on that I wanted someone to read all the U.K. and Irish and Australian entries in this book. So much of what I’ve heard in those countries is funny specifically because of the way it was said…Then I thought, Well, since people think it’s a woman recording my audiobooks anyway, why not get the real thing? A British woman who’s fun and patient and good at accents. Tracey Ullman.”
