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...

FROM COLLEGE

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.
