EXCLUSIVE: ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’ is blazing to bright, vivid life. V.F. has your first official look at #CrawdadsMovie—and goes behind the scenes with @DaisyEdgarJones, @ReeseW, and more. vntyfr.com/iyQbg8y
#NormalPeople’s @DaisyEdgarJones stars as Kya, the mysterious “Marsh Girl” at the story’s heart. “She has such an inner strength,” says the actress. “She’s complicated, flawed, brilliant… and survives against all odds.”

“The marsh and landscape of this book really belong on a big wide screen,” Lucy Alibar, the film’s Oscar-nominated screenwriter, tells V.F.

“I read this novel probably in one day, maybe two,” says @ReeseW, an executive producer on the film who, once upon a time, selected ‘Crawdads’ for her famed book club. “I’m always interested in the story where a woman saves herself.”

The death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Alec Baldwin’s movie ‘Rust’ shocked the film industry. In the aftermath, the question is not just who is responsible, but what were the mistakes that led up to the tragic event in the first place? vntyfr.com/IioFlKW
The basic details are well known: A gun held by Alec Baldwin during a scene rehearsal went off, firing a real bullet that killed Hutchins and injured writer-director Joel Souza. Answers as to who or what is responsible won’t be clear-cut. vntyfr.com/LwCT1bC
This month, Santa Fe D.A. Mary Carmack-Altwies expects to receive a forensics report from the FBI that could reveal critical details about the live round that killed Hutchins, and—possibly—who physically handled it. vntyfr.com/XsW7Jkz

Presenting the 28th annual Hollywood Issue. This year, V.F. convened eight commanding stars who are breaking boundaries, thrilling audiences, and inventing the movieland they want to live in. vntyfr.com/oXhqTP9
Nicole Kidman just clinched the fifth Oscar nomination of her career for her role as Lucille Ball. Still, the ‘Being the Ricardos’ actress doesn’t think of herself as a movie star: “I’m a little oddball, so I’m happy to support other oddballs.”

Louisa Jacobson, the star of Julian Fellowes's glitzy period melodrama #TheGildedAge, is charting a path all her own. vntyfr.com/LPRU7wy
The show features who's who of Broadway, including Cynthia Nixon, Audra McDonald, Bill Irwin, Carrie Coon, and Christine Baranski. As her TV debut, Jacobson is the first to admit she faces "a huge learning curve."

In preparation for her role, Jacobson read Edith Wharton at the New York Public Library and wore a corset around her apartment: "I tried to sneeze and it imploded!"

Exclusive 🚨: V.F. has your first official look at @PrimeVideo’s The Lord of the Rings: #TheRingsOfPower. Welcome back to Middle-earth. vntyfr.com/y9KiQsf
#TheRingsOfPower, set within Tolkien’s Second Age, will juggle 22 stars and multiple storylines—from deep within the dwarf mines to the elven kingdom of Lindon. Here, the adventures of the fellowship are still some 2,000 years in the future.

Patrick McKay and JD Payne are first-time showrunners undertaking a daunting task for Tolkien fan Jeff Bezos. Their series—based not on a novel but the Middle-earth prehistory attached to the end of #LOTR—will be the costliest TV show ever.

Everyone’s swooning for @giveon. After star-making turns on songs with Justin Bieber and Drake, the Grammy-nominated newcomer tells V.F. about putting the finishing touches on his debut album—and how he’s “still waiting on that call from Adele.” vntyfr.com/mOVbw82
Before his big break, @giveon worked as a server at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company: "On slow days, I would have to put on the shrimp suit, stand in front of the restaurant…kids pulling my tail."

His mom recognized his talent early—before he was a Soundcloud favorite or a Grammy nominee, she encouraged him to sing at birthday parties: “All the other kids are jumping in the bounce house, eating candy; I’m in the bathroom doing vocal exercises."

In April 2021, the CEO of Pornhub's new mansion went up in flames. With no shortage of possible suspects—activists, evangelicals, and victims of revenge porn—@adamgollner investigates the incident and speaks with the site's shadowy owners. vntyfr.com/IYEc4x3
Pornhub is among the most viewed websites in the world—more Americans use it than use Twitter or Netflix. Its co-owners, Feras Antoon and David Tassillo, took control of the site in 2012 after a management buyout and created MindGeek, its parent company. vntyfr.com/jjqzbfV
While the company's valuation isn’t clear, Antoon has been spotted in Ferraris and Lamborghinis with vanity plates like MRCEO, and last year, he was nearing completion on a 21-room mega-mansion on Montreal's so-called Mafia Row. vntyfr.com/voM6i6l
