John Gore Studios + Isabella Rossellini

Academy Award® and BAFTA Nominee Isabella Rossellini To Join Golden Globe Winner Joan Collins in The Bitter End (W/T)

John Gore Studios today announced that Academy Award ®, BAFTA nominee and SAG Award ensemble winner Isabella Rossellini (Conclave) will join previously announced Golden Globe winner Joan Collins in their upcoming film The Bitter End (W/T). Directed by multi-award-winning director Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral) and penned by screenwriter and novelist Louise Fennell, the film charts the shocking untold story of the final years of Wallis Simpson, the American divorcee who became the Duchess of Windsor after marrying King Edward VIII, the British King who chose love over duty. Rossellini will star as Suzanne Blum, the formidable French lawyer and confidante of Wallis Simpson (played by Collins), who at the hands of Blum found herself ensnared in a menacing grip of obsession and coercive control. Fennell’s screenplay explores the chilling true story of the deeply complex and sinister relationship between Blum and Simpson and how as a result Wallis’s once-glamorous life spiralled into terror and desperation in the last years of her life. Isabella Rossellini says, “I am absolutely thrilled to join the incomparable Joan Collins and the brilliant Mike Newell in bringing this extraordinary story back to life. Louise Fennell’s script allows us to delve into the complex and devastating relationship between these two iconic women, the profound impact they had on one another and their lasting mark on history.” John Gore says, “I am truly thrilled and honoured that Isabella Rossellini will be joining Joan Collins in this remarkable story of the last days of The Duchess of Windsor.

Isabella Rossellini possesses an immense and captivating talent. Her ability to embody complex characters with depth and authenticity inspires audiences and elevates every story she tells. Attracting such a stellar cast is a testament to the quality of this project. When you combine such great actors with Mike Newell’s vision and Louise Fennell’s gripping script, you achieve a recipe for something truly exciting. I am very proud that we get to tell this powerful, globally resonant story—one that reflects John Gore Studios’ commitment to creating captivating British films—about an American woman whose actions changed British history and continue to influence it to this day.” The film will be produced by John Gore, Richard Holmes and Francis Hopkinson and executive produced by Hilary Strong, Michael Foster and Percy Gibson. Filming will take place in the UK and is set to begin May 2025. Further casting and key crew to be announced. Worldwide Sales will be handled by Embankment Films.

Isabella Rossellini has received critical acclaim for her work in Edward Berger’s CONCLAVE, which recently won Best Film at the 2025 BAFTAS and the prestigious award for Best Motion Picture Cast at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. She also has a recurring role in Ryan Murphy’s Beauty. Additional credits include Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, La Chimera, Joy, Blue Velvet.

Goldenvoice, California’s premier concert promoter and a subsidiary of AEG Presents, has significantly invested in this renovation project for one of their most beloved Los Angeles venues.

Key highlights of the renovation include:

Advanced Sound System: The renovation features a nearly two-million-dollar acoustic upgrade for the Auditorium and Expo Hall, including a custom-designed baffle system and a state-of-the-art L-Acoustics sound setup. This advanced system includes K2 mains, KS28 subs, and Kara II delays, tailored to enhance sound quality throughout the main floor and balcony to deliver a clearer and richer listening experience for all attendees.
Flexible PA System: The PA system was engineered for maximum adaptability and delivers exceptional sound quality across our different event spaces. In the Expo Hall, the system can be configured for 5,000- and 3,600-capacity shows and is also supported by a flexible delay. It also supports 6,300-capacity shows in the Auditorium and 6,500 to 7,500-capacity outdoor shows with minimal augmentation.

Introducing the Speakeasy: Hidden beneath the venue, the brand-new speakeasy is an exclusive lounge for artists and their guests that allows them to duck under the crowds and enjoy a beverage at the private bar. Modeled after the Shrine’s Moorish architectural style, the lounge offers an elegant, dimly lit setting for artists and their guests to unwind.

“We are thrilled to unveil these new renovations at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall. These enhancements reflect our commitment to providing an exceptional experience for both artists and guests,” said Jennie Perkins, General Manager, “We look forward to welcoming our community to experience these new developments as we approach our 100th anniversary.”

GUCCI FALL WINTER 2025 CONTINUUM

Watch

YouTube

TikTok

A continuum of craft, taste and culture that passes through time, the fashion house is one that has many owners and guardians: craftspeople and artisans, creative directors and designers, communicators and customers, each with their own histories entwined.

At once universal and personal, Gucci embodies a variety of expressions, with its clothing and accessories, its particular style, adapted and evolved through generational shifts, moving from then to now and to the future, traveling through time.

Today, the collection could be seen as foundational, that says something of Gucci in its codes and beliefs both past, present and future; things that have meant something to many, adopted and adapted in their own way. A distinctive sense of Italian style, characterized by ‘sprezzatura’ – the perfectly imperfect, a studied effortlessness – a way of living and dressing that has been integral to Gucci’s aesthetic from the beginning, is something that permeates the collection and its presentation. Since its inception, the Gucci world has always been one cinematic in its scope, with objects made for both men and women, stylized and sumptuous, character-driven and individually adaptable, and here, they are brought together once more.

Walking along the entwined dark green Interlocking G of the catwalk – standing for the founder, Guccio Gucci, the emblem celebrates its f iftieth anniversary this year – the duality of men’s and women’s shows becomes a synergy and a whole. Like a double helix, yin and yang, or the lemniscate of infinity, each defines the other.

Here, sartorial strictness is placed against playfulness, men’s tailoring fabrics traverse the entirety of the collection, transposed into the women’s world. Sharpness and delineation are embraced in suiting, yet at times are undercut by a f lash of flesh, a volt of color, or the subversion of crepe de chine – here slubbed tweeds, a classic British men’s tailoring motif, are mirrored in the patterns found in sinuous crepe shirting and blouses. A dialogue of hard and soft continues in brushed mohair shirting, mother-of-pearl leathers, coated wools, and bonded boucles – fabric experimentation abounds, embracing classicism and subversion.

Color harmonies unite both womenswear and menswear in gradations of greens, greys, mauves, and browns. A synthesis of eras is embraced in terms of silhouette, from the late 1960s – the inception of Gucci ready-to-wear – traversing the decades since. Yet, in the amalgam from mid 1990s minimalism to the more recent ultramaximal, Gucci motifs unite and the melange means something new.

Unifying all is the Horsebit, perhaps the most recognizable of all Gucci motifs. It, too, celebrates an anniversary: seventy years of the Horsebit 1955 bag. From oversized to tiny, horsebits proliferate, a pop readymade appearing in jewelry, like in the flash of waist chain of a deep scooped back dress or most often on leather goods.

From the classic Horsebit 1955 bag transformed through new, ultra-soft construction via the giant Horsebit handle of the new slouched shoulder bag to the precise, ultraluxe construction of the new Gucci Siena, fastening with a half Horsebit click. At its most comfortable, the motif is at home on slippers. The music for the show, performed by a live orchestra, is an original score by the multi-award-winning composer and conductor Justin Hurwitz. Emphasizing the cinematic – Hurwitz has won two Oscars for his music – while amplifying emotion, his exclusive score celebrates the coming together of the women’s and men’s looks for the show.

THE NEW TECHART MAGNUM

A STATEMENT OF POWER, DESIGN, AND INDIVIDUALITY

TECHART proudly presents the fifth generation of the TECHART MAGNUM, based on the Porsche Cayenne E3.2.

A symbol of individuality and performance, the new MAGNUM takes its legendary presence to the next level.

With sharper lines, increased use of carbon fiber, and an uncompromising level of customization, it delivers an unmistakable statement of power, luxury, and exclusivity.

A Design That Demands Attention The new TECHART MAGNUM is not just an evolution—it is a revolution. More powerful, more confident, and more refined than ever before. Its bold, sculpted surfaces and dynamic proportions create a presence that leaves a lasting impression. For the first time, a significant portion of the bodywork is crafted from lightweight carbon fiber, including the entire front apron, rear bumper, and aerodynamic components— even when painted. These design elements emphasize the sharp, precise lines and the commanding stance of the MAGNUM, making it the most striking version to date.

At the front, the completely redesigned bumper with massive air intakes enhances the vehicle’s aggressive appearance, while the sculpted carbon fiber hood adds to its unmistakable character. Sharply defined wheel arch extensions seamlessly merge with the newly contoured side skirts, creating a dynamic silhouette that exudes power and confidence.

At the rear, a dramatic exposed-carbon diffuser and an illuminated light strip frame the signature TECHART Sport Exhaust System. A true highlight is the exclusive center-exit exhaust system, developed specifically for the MAGNUM—a feature never before available for the Cayenne Hatchback. With this innovation, TECHART is the first to offer a center-exit exhaust for both the Cayenne Coupé and Hatchback.

Power That Redefines Performance

The TECHART MAGNUM is not just about presence—it delivers a level of power and performance that sets a new benchmark in the high-performance SUV segment. With an output of 930 horsepower and 1,100 Nm of torque, the MAGNUM accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds*. While its top speed is electronically limited to 330 km/h, the vehicle is engineered for 350 km/h—a testament to its uncompromising capabilities.

At the core of this transformation is TECHART’s advanced Power-Kit, combined with the intelligent TECHTRONIC engine management system. *Based on the Cayenne E3.2 Turbo GT

A Sound That Makes an Impression An extraordinary vehicle deserves an extraordinary sound. The TECHART Sport Exhaust System is designed not just for performance but for an unmistakable acoustic signature that commands attention.

For those who prefer a classic yet powerful tone, the side-exit exhaust system enhances the MAGNUM’s sound profile with a deep, resonant, and refined note. But for true enthusiasts, the exclusive center-exit exhaust system takes things even further – designed to deliver an aggressively tuned, sharp, and emotionally charged sound profile, making every acceleration an unforgettable experience.

Previously, this configuration was exclusive to the Cayenne Coupé—but with the new TECHART system. The Cayenne Hatchback can now also be equipped with a center-exit exhaust for the very first time. It is a game-changer for fans of this body style.

A MAGNUM for Every Vision For the first time, the TECHART MAGNUM body kit is available plug-and-play for every Cayenne E3.2 variant, allowing customers to create a truly individual masterpiece.

The MAGNUM lineup consists of four distinct variants:

§ MAGNUM – The foundation of TECHART’s refinement philosophy, combining bold exterior styling and a commanding presence.

With its expanded carbon fiber elements and aggressive stance, the base MAGNUM model is already a head-turning statement.

§ MAGNUM Sport – A sharpened evolution of the MAGNUM, featuring an exclusive center-exit diffuser, enhancing the vehicle’s dominant rear proportions.

The sporty styling is further accentuated by the rear diffuser with the center-exit exhaust, making the MAGNUM Sport the perfect choice for those who want an even more athletic appearance.

§ MAGNUM Unique – The pinnacle of bespoke refinement. With an unparalleled level of customization, the MAGNUM Unique allows owners to tailor every detail to their specifications. From one-off interior trims to personalized carbon fiber elements, no two MAGNUM unique models are the same.

It is the ultimate expression of individuality and craftsmanship.

§ MAGNUM First Edition – A strictly limited run of 25 units worldwide, offering an exclusive combination of performance, design, and handcrafted luxury.

Each First Edition features individually numbered fender inlays, a handcrafted “First Edition” interior, and exclusive exposedcarbon elements, making it one of the most sought-after TECHART vehicles ever produced.

TECHART Protect – Confidence Without Compromise TECHART understands that individuality and performance should never come at the cost of security. That’s why TECHART Protect, the brand’s exclusive warranty program, is available for every TECHART build. It provides comprehensive coverage and can be added to any MAGNUM build, ensuring that customers can drive with complete confidence.

The TECHART MAGNUM – A New Benchmark in Individuality

The new TECHART MAGNUM is the ultimate fusion of performance, luxury, and unmistakable presence.

With its bold design, extensive carbon fiber enhancements, breathtaking power, and limitless customization options, it redefines what is possible in the world of high-performance SUVs.

The MAGNUM is more than just a vehicle. It’s a statement.

Maserati GT2 Stradale Debuts on the Road

The House of the Trident’s new super sports car is the leading light in an exclusive driving experience, both on the road and the track in southern Spain

After its world premiere on August 16 at “The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering” during California’s Monterey Car Week, the Maserati GT2 Stradale is finally on the road and ready to hit the market, starting in Europe in April.

The debut of the road-legal version of the GT2 that took the House of the Trident back to the track in closed-wheel championships was christened in Andalusia with a driving experience dedicated to the main stakeholders and customers worldwide. They had the opportunity to test its mettle both on roads out of town and on the track, to emphasize both the souls of the super sports car: racing DNA and the comfort typical of the House of the Trident.

From the charming city of Marbella, the test drive route wound its way through the panoramic curves of the Parque Nacional Sierra de las Nieves to arrive at the private Ascari circuit near Ronda, the pearl of Andalusia. The 3.3-mile track named after the Italian Formula 1 world champion driver – who also raced with Maserati – recalled the brand’s iconic heritage.

Indeed, Maserati boasts a long and glorious sporting history. When the brand started work on the MC20 project, the halo car that marked the beginning of a new era for the House of the Trident, it had already decided to return to the track. This philosophy and the brand’s racing DNA resulted in the Maserati GT2, which took the Modena-based manufacturer back to racing victory in the Fanatec GT2 European Series championship.

The GT2 category is the ideal platform for Maserati’s sporting legacy to meet the desires of racing customer enthusiasts – private teams and gentleman drivers – in a project that forms an integral part of the brand’s motorsport strategy to take it back to the podium in competitions.

GT2 Stradale is a car rooted on the track and type-approved for use on the road, with the ability to combine the extreme, refined performance of the racing world with the option of uncompromising driving in the utmost comfort.

A car that can bring together the best of the MC20 and GT2: top speed of 201 mph, the maximum output of the extraordinary V6 Nettuno engine, has been increased to 631 hp, 10 hp more than the MC20; acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds, making it the most agile rear-wheel drive (RWD) in its category.

For the exclusive driving experience, the GT2 Stradale was kitted out in various liveries, created as part of the Fuoriserie Customization Program. One of the elegant pit lanes at the Ascari circuit was dedicated to the world of customization, with the adjacent one telling the story of Maserati Corse with the GT2 forerunner on display.

Santo Ficili, Maserati CEO noted: “From the road to the track and back again: moving from the racing GT2 to its road version was a natural step, to epitomise our brand’s performance. With the road debut of what is the pinnacle of our super sports cars, we have created a perfect platform for the customers of this car, which has also been lauded by the media. GT2 Stradale is 100% made in Modena, a mix of Maserati’s two iconic worlds, those of elegance and racing. It is the upshot of the passion, dedication, and pride of all the women and men at the House of the Trident.”

Production began last December at the historic plant on Viale Ciro Menotti in Modena. Maserati GT2 Stradale is available in only 914 units, as mentioned on the specific badge positioned on the central tunnel. The lettering “1 of 914” is an explicit reference to 1914, the year Maserati was founded.

Maserati S.p.A.
Maserati produces a complete range of unique cars, immediately recognizable for their extraordinary personality. Thanks to their style, technology, and innately exclusive character, they delight the most discerning, demanding tastes and have always been a benchmark for the global automotive industry. A tradition of successful cars, each of them redefining what makes an Italian sports car in terms of design, performance, comfort, elegance, and safety, currently available in more than 70 markets internationally.

Maserati line-up includes the Grecale, the “everyday exceptional” SUV, the GranTurismo, the iconic Italian grand tourer, and the GranCabrio, the new convertible of the Trident; all models characterized by the use of the highest quality materials and excellent technical solutions. A range equipped with 4-cylinder hybrid powertrains – available for Grecale – and V6 petrol, with rear-wheel and four-wheel drive, embodying the performance DNA of the Trident brand. The top of the range is made up of the MC20 super sports car and the MC20 Cielo spyder, powered by the ground-breaking 100% Maserati Nettuno V6 engine, which incorporates F1-derived technologies into the power unit of a standard production car for the first time. The GranTurismo is available with both the high-performance V6 petrol engine, derived from the Nettuno, and a 100% electric version: the GranTurismo Folgore, the first car in the Modena-based brand’s history to adopt this solution. The full-electric range also currently includes the Grecale Folgore, Maserati’s first 100% electric SUV, and the GranCabrio Folgore. Finally, the House of the Trident’s latest addition is the Maserati GT2 Stradale, the road-legal version of the GT2 that took Maserati back to the track in closed-wheel championships. The heart of the new super sports car is the V6 Nettuno engine, reaching 640 hp (471 kW) in the latter configuration. The GT2 Stradale is therefore the most powerful road-going Maserati with an internal combustion engine.

The mission at Maserati is to write the future of mobility in the luxury segment, focusing on its customers’ requests. The Brand, in line with the Stellantis “Dare Forward 2030” strategic plan, is now taking Italian luxury all over the world.

Best All-Star Weekend

TMNT

JALEN ROSE

In celebration of All-Star Weekend and the brand’s collaboration with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, PUMA Hoops hosted a PUMA Pizzeria pop-up in San Francisco where fans grabbed free slices of pizza and tested their hoops skills on the interactive Krang’s Court. Appearances were made by rapper Jadakiss, as well as PUMA athletes Jackie Young and Jalen Rose.

PUMA Hoops athlete Mac McClung made an all-star appearance in the Rising Stars game and made his mark as the first player to three-peat in the Dunk Contest. For both games, he rocked the neon-laced, performance-focused All-Pro NITRO Elite Color Tie featuring an upper made with at least 20% recycled materials.

Another member of the PUMA Hoops family, celebrity basketball trainer Chris Brickley, dominated the Celebrity Game sporting the MB.04 Donatello & Raphael – a limited-edition drop from the 4-part PUMA Hoops X TMNT collection that reimagines LaMelo Ball’s signature MB line with designs inspired by the Turtles and their iconic foes.
