News about Christopher Hampton

Dedicated Detective Sergeant Julie Mackay, who had failed to get promoted, brought the killer of 17-year-old Melanie Road to justice nearly 32 years after she died, when so many others had failed. On her way home from a night out in June 1984, the bubbly and astute deputy head girl was assaulted and murdered. It's been nearly 40 years since Jean, then a 49-year-old teacher, and her civil servant husband Anthony awakened to the realization that their daughter, a responsible young woman, had not returned home from a night out with friends at a local nightclub in Bath.

The video, which has gone viral on social media, captures the moment when the massive fist fight broke out late Monday night in the baggage hall of Chicago's Terminal 3. A group of about a dozen people are battling, including two pairs of women who can be seen yanking at each others' hair and punching punches, notably on the ground.

At The 92nd Street Y in New York City, the stars of the forthcoming drama, The Son, joined the film's producer for a special screening and chat. Hugh Jackman, Laura Dern, and Vanessa Kirby, as well as Florian Zeller, who co-wrote with Christopher Hampton, were all on hand for the evening's panel portion that was hosted by Annette Insdorf. The Son is set to premiere in theaters on November 25 after making its world premiere at the 79th Venice International Film Festival in early September.

On Monday afternoon, Laura Dern was spotted while attending the Toronto International Film Festival. As she waved to her followers and meandered through a packed town, the 55-year-old entertainer flashed a wide smile. The actress spoke with Hugh Jackman, Florian Zeller, and Christopher Hampton later to talk about their newly released film, The Son.

In the new trailer for The Son, Hugh Jackman plays a father whose mistakes with his son. Florian Zeller produced the film, which is based on Christopher Hampton's play of the same name. Kate, the ex of Jackman's character Peter, is also starring Laura Dern, and Zen McGrath portrays Nicholas.
