Dolly Parton’s “last recorded vocal performance” is a duet with Bono on the closing track of U2’s first album in nine years.
The song is described as “a tender country song detailing broken family ties that holds wider resonances.”

EXCLUSIVE: “Donnie Darko” director Richard Kelly has written a book sequel to the 2001 cult classic, set to hit shelves later this year:
• Titled “The Philosophy of Time Travel,” the 800-page novel takes place in 1988, immediately after the events of the original film
• Kelly says he hopes to adapt the novel into an animated/motion-capture movie before continuing the story with a live-action project that jumps 28 years into the future
• “This section of the sequel would be animation and then, in theory, should it happen, there would be a gigantic time jump of 28 years or so, and where the actors, should they want to play their roles live and in the flesh, that would be wonderful, too,” Kelly tells Variety. “So we'll see what happens.”

‘Southland Tales’ was right about a lot of things coming to pass: the Rock being a movie star, comedians having an outsized role in politics, and the Strait of Hormuz being a geopolitical lynchpin. vulture.com/article/southlan…

Jeered at Cannes and blanked at the box office, director Richard Kelly's sprawling 2006 sci-fi epic now plays like an almost clairvoyant vision of the 21st century, predicting everything from the Cybertruck to the Strait of Hormuz blockade to the Rock being taken seriously as an actor. 20 years later, Kelly talks about how history caught up with his cult classic—and the “gigantic” new project he's excited to unleash this year. gq.com/story/richard-kelly-s…
