WHAT I SEE
In some kind of genetic miracle, Brooklyn
Beckham seems to have inherited both his
father’s good looks and his mum’s creativity.
The teen snapper’s debut photo book is a
collection of raw images,
both captured by and
featuring Brooklyn, with
accompanying text penned
by the boy wonder himself.
Think of it as a Beckham
family album, without
the filters. We’ll be
bookmarking all the pages
featuring his dad...

Bad Neighbours director
Nicholas Stoller is dishing
up major LOLs with his new
Netflix series. With an all-star
cast featuring Cobie Smulders
(How I Met Your Mother) and
Fred Savage (The Wonder
Years), the sitcom revolves
around a group of reunited
college pals who could very
well destroy their lives!

THE BEGUILED
When an injured soldier (Colin
Farrell) is taken in by a girls’ boarding
school during the US Civil War, it
causes all sorts of tension. Director
Sofia Coppola cleaned up at Cannes
with this remake – and with leading
ladies like Kirsten Dunst, Nicole
Kidman and Elle Fanning all
starring, we can’t think of a reason
not to watch. In cinemas Thurs

BOOK
Didn’t get enough of Emma Watson in Beauty
And The Beast? Well, it’s lucky writer and director
James Ponsoldt (The Spectacular Now) cast
her in this big-screen adaptation of author
Dave Eggers’s 2013 tech thriller The Circle.
The flick follows Em’s character Mae Holland
as she ambitiously rises through the ranks
at a scarily powerful, all-knowing, all-seeing
tech firm called The Circle – headed by the
charismatic Eamon Bailey (Tom Hanks).
But when she’s assigned to work on
a new piece of technology, it could determine
the future of all humanity.
Unlike The Social Network, there’s no
Justin Timberlake in this nerdy nugget,
but we’re still keen. In cinemas Thursday

It only took 23 years to come together, but the star-studded
comedy-crime-romance flick Baby Driver – which has been
described as “Gone In 60 Seconds for the La La Land crowd”
- was well worth the wait. But what took writer-director Edgar
Wright – who first came up with the idea in 1994 – so long to
make it? For one, he was busy making other hilare comedies
like Hot Fuzz and Shaun Of The Dead, not to mention waiting
for a hottie like Ansel Elgort to play Baby – a young getaway
driver who sets the tempo for each heist using music.
Now, after falling in love with a waitress (Lily
James), Baby’s just trying to escape his life of
crime – and kingpin Doc (Kevin Spacey)!
“In this business, the moment you catch
feelings is the moment you catch a bullet,”
warns Jamie Foxx’s character Bats.
And Eiza Gonzalez, who plays the
wife of bankrobber Buddy (Jon Hamm),
says the film reminded her
of Pulp Fiction, “where
the characters
were iconic”.
Now we’ve
gotta see it!

BABY-FACED
TO BADASS
Ansel’s grown into one
hell of a man since his
fresh-faced turn in 2014’s
The Fault In Our Stars!
“I was excited... that one
day I would be made to
look like a badass,” he says,
adding that it helped make
the gruelling prep work
for his role bearable.
