September 18, 2020 The world is never as you expect. That s the truth, even when we don t want it to be. Originally selected as a 2020 Cannes Film Festival premiere (before that fest was cancelled this year), Thomas Vinterberg s latest film is instead premiering at the 2020 Toronto Film Festival this fall.
Another Round brings Vinterberg back home to Denmark and reteams him with exceptionally talented Danish actor
Mads Mikkelsen to tell a story about drinking alcohol.

When celebrity events were halted because of the coronavirus pandemic last March, Hollywood’s clothing stylists, hairstylists and makeup artists were put out of work. The return of awards shows and virtual events has fostered a fashion resurgence.
In March 2020, stylist Ilaria Urbinati whose client roster of Hollywood men includes Rami Malek, Dwayne (“the Rock”) Johnson and John Krasinski was working on numerous press tours. “Rami had ‘Bond’ coming out, the Rock had ‘Jungle Cruise’ and ‘Red Notice,’” she recalls. “Aaron Paul had movies, then Cannes was coming up, and Venice, and we were in the middle of ‘A Quiet Place II’ press tour.
