...just finished the script, based on the original [movie]. I wrote it with my production sound mixer, which is a new approach for me. I usually start on page one and write stream of consciousness. But I thought it would be cool to work with a guy who's an engineer. Not only is he a horror aficionado, but he has a technical perspective on everything he does.

At least that's what this Beckett fan thought at the end of the Gate marathon, Laugh...
...Kebede, along with Naomi Campbell, Jourdan Dunn and Sessilee Lopez, are the cover girls for four different versions of Vogue's Black issue, with the 100-page spread photographed by star shooter Steven Meisel. Sozzani says that black women stand out "because they are so elegant - it is an innate elegance." Most of the advertisements, however, feature white models, a sign that even a powerful editor can shake the industry's tree only so much...
