LA CHAPELLE-SAINT-MESMIN, France — (AP) — For the glassmakers at iconic French tableware brand Duralex, the mornings have become a horror show. Before Europe's energy crisis — which took off after the COVID-19 pandemic and became a full-blown economic threat with Russia's war in Ukraine — the price charts were reassuringly stable. European Union energy ministers are holding emergency talks Friday on the bloc's latest proposals for alleviating the crisis. But competitors are circling, using the production halt as an argument to try to lure away the company's customers, Llacuna said.

Since Russia launched its military action on February 24, only a handful of priests from the Russian Orthodox Church led by Moscow Patriarch Kirill -- which counts some 150 million believers across the world -- have spoken out openly against the Kremlin's military campaign. Among them, Father Georgy Edelshtein, 89, says there is no doubt that "Russia is the agressor, and Ukraine the victim." His friend, Father Ioann Burdin has been fined for his sermons on the matter and has left active service, thinking about whether to stay in the Church as he faces a three-year prison sentence for a repeat offence.

Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga don't buy it. “I have my own superstitions about all sorts of things, but not particularly about this,” said Craig, who plays the Scottish anti-hero. Like Craig, she admits to being superstitious, just not about saying the name of the play inside the theater.

A Los Angeles judge ended the conservatorship that has controlled Spears' life and money for nearly 14 years. And here’s our annual, highly subjective trip down pop culture memory lane:JANUARYOn Inauguration Day, a star is born, and we're not talking about an elected official. A judge upholds — for now — the conservatorship governing BRITNEY SPEARS, as a new documentary, "Framing Britney Spears," shines light on the troubling case.

The final James Bond film of the Daniel Craig era grossed $56 million from 4,407 North American theaters, according to studio estimates on Sunday, to easily take the first-place spot. It didn’t break any pandemic or 007 records, but it didn’t fall significantly short either and is in fact the fourth-best opening in the 25-film series. Bond has always had an older audience which is typically less inclined to rush out for the first weekend. In fact, the best Bond opening ever didn’t even crack $100 million.

The 25th Bond film isn't perfect, but explosive stunt sequences and a magnetic performance from Daniel Craig are enough to overcome an overly complicated and overly long plot, critics say.

Opening day takings were 13% higher than Spectre but 26% below Skyfall, distributor Universal says.

Craig was puzzled when a New York Times reporter brought up the entertaining meme that started after he hosted "Saturday Night Live" last year.

Five things you need to know about the coronavirus pandemic this Wednesday morning.

MGMNothing can truly kill James Bond, but the COVID-19 pandemic certainly tried, delaying the release of No Time to Die—the MI6 agent’s 25th official feature-film outing—by a year and a half. In an unexpected twist, Bond’s latest boasts a trace of timely resonance, courtesy of a story that hinges on a nefarious plot to infect the world with a lethal contagion. What’s most surprising about Daniel Craig’s fifth and final go-round as 007, however, is its general lack of urgency or excitement. A wor

When will we find out who will be replacing Daniel Craig as James Bond? “He enabled us to explore the emotional life of Bond, to go deeply into the personal complexity of the character.”Actors who portrayed Bond before Craig’s casting included Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan, each with multiple Bond films in their filmography. David Niven played Bond in “Casino Royale” released in 1967, but it is not one of the Bond official films and IMDB considers that film a spoof. Some have suggested that a woman could take over the Bond role, but earlier this year, Broccoli said that “James Bond is a male character. And I’m sort of in denial, I would love for Daniel to continue forever,” Broccoli said, according to Variety.

Daniel Craig said he and Dave Bautista had to square up for a fight scene in 2015's "Spectre" when he accidentally punched him in the nose.

Film - Fall Preview - No time to Die This mage released by MGM shows director Cary Joji Fukunaga, right, with actor Daniel Craig on the set of the James Bond film "No Time to Die." Fukunaga, the 44-year-old filmmaker of “Beasts of No Nation” and the first season of “True Detective,” took the job directing the 25th Bond film after Danny Boyle dropped out. Fukunaga, the first American to direct a Bond film in the franchise's 58 years, has since moved onto other projects. Fukunaga: I talked about doing Bond films quite a ways back. Fukunaga: If there’s a needle that bent one way or the other based on genre, it’s still categorially a Bond film.

The film business is inherently full of starts and stops, but few have experienced the phrase “hurry up and wait” quite like “No Time to Die” director Cary Fukunaga.

Producers of the forthcoming James Bond thriller say the film's release has been delayed again, until the fall of 2021, because of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The official 007 Twitter account said late Thursday, Jan. 21, 2021 that the 25th installment in the franchise will now open on Oct. 8.

Connery, considered by many to have been the best James Bond, has died aged 90, according to an announcement from his family. Connery’s Bond became etched as an icon of its era, one increasingly distant from today. It’s a perfect role and performance for Connery, whose best work came when he — this former bodybuilder of unimpeachable force and magnetism — was humbled. That could be because the glint of mischief that accompanied nearly every Connery performance was so present in “The Last Crusade.” Connery always left you feeling if not shaken then very happily stirred.

The release of the James Bond film “No Time To Die” has been delayed again, this time to 2021, because of the effects of COVID-19 on the theatrical business. “No Time To Die” was originally supposed to open in April 2020 but was pushed back to Nov. 12 in the U.K. and Nov. 20 in the U.S. The Walt Disney Co. last week delayed the planned 2020 releases of a handful of major movies until 2021. They include Marvel’s “Black Widow” and Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story.” Universal delayed “Candyman” to next year. Some major releases are still planned for 2020.
