BRIAN VINER: I hear a lot about the complaint that "nothing worth going to the theater for" is something I hear a lot, and it's often impossible to refute, but it has no water at all this week, as we welcome two of the Academy Award contenders. I don't think either of them will be contaminated with the Oscar, which, according to sports analysts, would be Oppenheimer's to lose. Both of them will be worthy winners, especially The Zone Of Interest, a disturbing movie about the Holocaust. Unique, since the mass extermination of Jews, Hitler's abhorrent 'Final Solution,' is shown as a glowering yet mostly distant backdrop, while an ostensibly positive story of family life unfolds in the foreground. The film, shot in 1943, focuses on Rudolf Hoss (Christian Friedel), his materialistic wife Hedwig (Sandra Huller), and their five children. They live in a great deal of confidence, just over the wall from the concentration camp where he works with icy efficiency.

David Higgins, a London-based personal trainer, has been working with Margot Robbie since about 2015, when she first trained for her role in "The Legend of Tarzan." That movement, which is characterized as tousled, gritty, raw, is just about the antithesis of her of-the-moment starring role in "Barbie." Nonetheless, Robbie went back to Higgins, this time asking him not only to instruct her but also the entire cast — both the Barbies and the Kens — to prepare for Barbie's flawless, manicured role. (She has the rec, in case you were curious), Samuel L. robbed the library. (Jackson)

In Hulu's Welcome to Chippendales, Kumail Nanjiani, 44, stars as strip joint owner turned murderer Anyn 'Steve' Banerjee. "I've never had the opportunity to play a arc like this one." 'I've never been to a place like this.' Nanjiani, on the other hand, doesn't believe he'd have gotten the role if it wasn't based on a true story, as he says Hollywood is reluctant to cast non-white villains. 'I think Hollywood now, even though they're trying to be more diverse, is still weird,' he said. Many villain roles were played by people of color, including Art Malik in True Lies and Ving Rhames in Pulp Fiction for years. White villains have increasingly dominated the screen, including Tom Hiddleston in Thor and Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.

Brendan Fraser's body has been under scrutiny for the bulk of his life. For his role in "The Whale," he wore a 300-pound prosthetic, or "fat suit." Fraser, however, speaks to Adam Sandler about what his body went through for the 1997 comedy "George of the Jungle" on Variety's "Actors on Actors." He was waxed and "starving of carbohydrates" in order to get the Tarzan-inspired look. His diet began to mess with his memory at one point. He stopped for something to eat one night after returning home from work. "I wanted some cash one day and went to the ATM, but I couldn't recall my PIN number because my brain was misfiring." Banging on the topic. I didn't eat that night.

Kumail Nanjiani, 44, was seen leaving The View in New York City on Wednesday.

When Nicola Peltz Beckham auditioned for the role of Dorothy Stratten in "Welcome to Chippendales" she wanted the role terribly. Peltz Beckham tells POPSUGAR that she wanted to sound like her, look like her, and move like her at the audition. "I did every bit of study I could find, whether it be physical or just the way she spoke, the way she talked, the way she looked, and most of everything else," she says about her appearances. Peltz Beckham's link to the Playboy bunny and actor goes back a long time. Dorothy's life was "I knew about it years ago," she says. "I watched the film 'Star 80' and it stuck with me, and it's just one of those films and stories that have always lived in my head." The 1983 film "Star 80" told the tale of Stratten's life and death; the title derives from Stratten's vanity licence plates.
