20 year old newcomer Sally Messham, a final year student at Rada, has been cast as Jane Watkins, the daughter of exorcist Merrily, in ITV Encore’s new three-part drama Midwinter of the Spirit.
Sally (represented by Curtis Brown), will leave Rada early to take up the role alongside the double BAFTA award-winning actress Anna Maxwell-Martin who leads the cast as Merrily Watkins, a single mother who isn’t your average country vicar.
Merrily’s newly acquired training has put her on the dark side of the pulpit. She’s become one of the few women priests working as an exorcist - a job increasingly mistrusted by the modern Church and rarely talked about, even though it operates in virtually every diocese in the UK.
Merrily is deeply human in her doubts and scepticism, but her knowledge of the paranormal underworld brings her to the notice of local police who need...

The “wonderful” What If isn’t the only romantic comedy coming out of the indies this year. In late September, we’ll have Two Night Stand, which asks: “What if a one-night stand lasted for two nights, how hilarious would that be?” The film stars Miles Teller and Analeigh Tipton. It is the directorial debut of Mike Nichols’s son Max. Watch the trailer below and remember to always check the next day's forecast immediately before having sex with someone.

I am a big time Jessica Jones nut. I read every issue of Alias (mainly because I really dug Brian Michael Bendis’ stuff and the Max line at the time – and Alias was the two combined). When The Pulse came out, I started reading that. I had a copy of the New Avengers Annual #1 where she gets married as I was also following New Avengers at the time. I even have a copy of the What If comic where Jones joins the Avengers and prevents the House of M from occurring.
So when I heard a few years ago that someone was trying to bring Alias to the small screen, I was over the moon. Sure they would have to change the name, lest it gets confused with a certain other show starring Jennifer Garner. So I was happy with it being called Aka Jessica Jones. Sure whatever, as long...

Los Angeles -- A half century has not dimmed skeptics' suspicions about the death of Marilyn Monroe at age 36, but the intervening decades have seen technological leaps that could alter the investigation were it to occur today.
DNA, more sophisticated electronic record-keeping, drug databases and other advances would give investigators more information than they were able to glean after Monroe's Aug. 5, 1962, death – 50 years ago this Sunday.
Whether any of the tools would lead to a different conclusion – that Monroe's death from acute barbiturate poisoning was a probable suicide – remains a historical "What If?"
"The good news is we're very advanced from 50 years ago," said Max Houck, a forensic consultant and co-author of "The Science of Crime Scenes." "The bad news is, we're still trying to put it in context," he said.
Monroe's death stunned the world and quickly ignited speculation that she died from a more nefarious plot than the official cause of death.
