Helena Bonham Carter teases Seven Dialsâ killer twist
Helena Bonham Carter has teased a killer twist in Agatha Christieâs Seven Dials, Netflixâs upcoming murder mystery series. The Oscar-nominated actor, 59, plays Lady Caterham â a gender-swapped version of the book's Lord Caterham â in the streaming giant's adaptation of the 1929 novel, alongside Mia McKenna-Bruce (Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent) and Martin Freeman (Superintendent Battle). In the series, a practical joke goes horribly wrong at a lavish country house party â and Bundle must unravel the mystery that changes the trajectory of her life. Of a key twist in the series, Bonham Carter said: "I didn't see it coming... and that's what the beauty of Christie is. You never see it's coming. "But then when you do, then you go, "ah," and then everything falls into place. And by the end you [have] a much greater understanding of humanity." Agatha Christieâs Seven Dials is out on Netflix from 15 January.

Jeremy Allen White: The pressure of playing Springsteen was paralysing
Jeremy Allen White: The pressure of playing Springsteen was paralysing
Jeremy Allen White said he initially felt the pressure of playing Bruce Springsteen was "daunting" and even "paralysing" at times. The actor, 34, stars as the legendary musician in Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, which dives into the making of Springsteen's beloved 1982 "Nebraska" album. Speaking at the movie's London Film Festival premiere on Wednesday, 15 October, White told The Independent: "I try not to think about it so much. All those ideas, I was very aware of, and it was very daunting and even paralysing at times. "I knew one thing: I'd seen Bruce perform. I know that he sort of exhausts himself every time he is on stage. And I knew if I just pushed it as far as I could, maybe I could fool everybody." Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere will be released in the UK on 24 October.
