Amazon Studios spent millions of bucks to acquire distribution rights for Sundance hit Late Night, and judging by the first trailer – they made the right call. Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson shine in this hilarious comedy about a ruthless talk show host, who’s trying to revitalize her career.

Thompson plays Katherine Newbury, a stubborn host whose ratings are slipping because she’s refusing to play by the rules. Her life turns upside down after new network president informs her she overstayed her welcome, and starts looking for her replacement.

With the help of a new female writer on her team, Newbury does everything in her power to become relevant again and save her career. Despite their many differences, these two women eventually manage to find common ground and work together towards the same goal.

Late Night had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, but the audiences around the US will have to wait until July 7 to see what the fuss is all about. Nisha Ganatra-directed comedy also stars John Lithgow, Hugh Dancy, Reid Scott, and Amy Ryan.

Emma Thompson was honored at Buckingham Palace, given the title of Dame.

The ceremony took place on Wednesday, and the honor was given to the actress by Prince William. The Prince definitely got more than he bargained for as the 59-year-old got cheeky.

The Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy-winning actress made the Duke of Cambridge blush when she asked the royal if she could kiss him.

”I love Prince William, I’ve known him since he was little, and we just sniggered at each other,” Thompson told The Daily Mail. “I said, ‘I can’t kiss you, can I?’ And he said, ‘No, don’t!'” She continued: “If you’re first up, you have to be more formal on such an occasion, but he’s looking wonderful and doing so well. He said, ‘This day isn’t about me, it’s about you.’”

Prince William isn’t the only royal Thompson is fond of. She said, “It’s really lovely because I’ve always loved the boys, and I’ve always been a long-term correspondent with their dad,” she said. “It’s a very lovely feeling.”

Thompson was accompanied by her husband Greg Wise, and their children, Gaia, 18, and Tindyebwa, 19, for the ceremony. She opted for an elegant blue suit and white sneakers for the regal occasion.

Congratulation, Dame Emma!

A decade after the last big-screen adaptation of an Ian McEwan novel, Atonement, several of his works are currently in post-production. The first to premiere will be The Children Act, based on the author’s 2014 novel. The movie’s screenplay was written by McEwan himself and it will be directed by Richard Eyre.

It is story of a High Court judge, played by Emma Thompson, in Great Britain who must decide the fate of a 17-year-old boy sick with leukemia, played by Dunkirk star Fionn Whitehead. This gets even more complicated as the young boy’s religious beliefs prevents him from receiving life-saving blood transfusion. The plot centers on the two’s unique relationship, forged as the judge must come to a decision.

Thompson’s participation in the production was crucial to producer Duncan Kenworthy, who told EW that the movie would not have gone forward without her. “She’s in every scene and is absolutely amazing. I’ve worked with Emma before, so I know just how heart-stoppingly good she is at hiding deep emotion and then suddenly and unexpectedly revealing it.”

Kenworthy’s admiration for Thompson was also shared by Whitehead. To this day, Thompson is still the only person to have won Oscars for both acting (1992’s Howards End) and screenwriting (1995’s Sense and Sensibility).

The Children Act premieres next month at the Toronto International Film Festival. A release date has yet to me announced.
