More filming on location for A Haunting in Venice

Kenneth Branagh, Tina Fey and Riccardo Scamarcio were spotted January 8 - 9 2023 on location in Venice, Italy, while shooting the 3rd Hercule Poirot film.

They've been filming at Campo San Samuele, the Clock Tower and the island of San Giorgio, for the past few days. A night-time scene had Branagh's Poirot cruising on a gondola driven by gondoliers wearing white Venetian masks. Another scene was a market in the churchyard of the island of San Giorgio, with stalls, straw baskets, milk cans, vegetable baskets, crates of soft drinks, and wine flasks. Despite the cold and drizzly weather, the set attracted curious onlookers visiting an art exhibition nearby.

JAMIE DORNAN, JUDE HILL, KELLY REILLY, ARRIVING SOON Italian media (via Italy24 and la Nuova Venezia) is reporting that "filming will continue in the next few days with the arrival of the other cast members, including Riccardo Scamarcio, Jamie Dornan (formerly Mr. Gray in 'Fifty Shades of Gray'), the French actress Camille Cottin, Tina Fey, Jude Hill, Ali Khan, Emma Laird, Kelly Reilly."

UPCOMING FILMING LOCATIONS include Palazzo Pisani, now home of the "Benedetto Marcello" Conservatory of Music, Scala del Bovolo, the most impressive spiral staircase in Venice, the church of Miracoli and the area of ​​the canals between campiello Widmann and Rio dei Mendicanti in campo dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo, and Palazzo Malipiero which also overlooks the Grand Canal.

Il Gazzettino reports group scenes will be filmed featuring "young protagonists: seven gondolas with about twenty extras are mobilized for the scenes, passing from the Miracles to the Rio which overlooks the back of the Malibran Theater."

Shooting in Venice will continue until January 13 2023.

#20 with Scott? ☺️

You walk out of a dressing room asking if the outfit suits you, but it's not your friend waiting outside the room like you thought.

Y/n had been begging her friend Tina to go shopping with her so she can buy some new bathing suits, her and some of her friends were renting a beach house for a few weeks in Malibu so she needed new bathing suits and some other things. Tina groaned when Y/n dragged her into the 4th store to find some more bathing suits, “don’t you have enough? You already bought 3.” Tina wined as she searched through the racks picking out a few sets for her to try on. “We’re going to be in Malibu for 2 weeks Tina, I need a few more and some other outfits.” Y/n said frowning at her friend, “I told you I’ll buy you lunch, and I’ll never ask you to come shopping with me again.” Tina rolled her eyes and chuckled a little, “Okay fine.” Once her arms were practically full of bathing suits and a few outfits she was locking the door to her dressing room. Tina sat outside the door waiting for Y/n to come out to her opinion of how they looked on her. 

Y/n went back into the dressing room to change into bathing suit number 4, Tina was far past over it at this point, she figured that Y/n would be in there for a few more minutes changing so she decided to go walk around the store and see if she could find a bathroom. In her travels she ran into her crush and couldn’t pull herself away. Y/n put on the next bathing suit tying the bikini top on her back and around her neck, she was able to get the one around her neck nice and tight and then sighed struggling to get the one on her back tight enough. Y/n looked over the bikini in the mirror and smiled, it was pretty simple white bikini with some ruffles on it but she loved how it looked, extenuated her tan skin. She held the cups of the bikini making sure she stayed covered as she backed out of the dressing room toward who she thought was Tina. “Okay tie me please?” She says before continuing, “Now hear me out, I know it’s totally just a plain white bikini BUT! It’s totally cute and I love it, I think this one is a winner.” She says still unaware of that the person that was tying her was not her friend but a tall blonde who’s skin was covered in beautiful ink. “Tight enough?” He asks after clearing his throat, Y/n’s eyes widen and she covers her face to try and hide the red blush that now took over her cheeks. “Mhm.” She hummed before turning around and peeking at him through her fingers. He chuckled and crossed his arms over her chest and smirked down at the small girl. “I’m so sorry, I thought you were my friend.” She squeaked still horrified. “What’s your name?” He asks still unable to wipe the smirk off of his face, she bit her lip trying to hide her smile, of course she was so embarrassed but she couldn’t ignore the fact that he was drop dead gorgeous and she was trying her hardest not to gawk at him. “Y/n.” She says looking up into his blue green eyes. “It’s nice to meet you Y/n, I’m Scott.” He reaches his hand on taking hers into his shaking it smiling at her. “Nice to meet you too Scott. I’m so sorry again.” She says biting her lip. Scott chuckles and his eyes travel up and down her body as he leans against the wall his arms crossed over his chest again. “No need to apologize beautiful, I completely agree with you, you look amazing in that.” He says as his tongue swipes along his bottom lip before he looks back to her eyes. Y/n’s eyes are glued to his lips wishing it was her lips on his instead of his tongue. She licks her own lips trying to calm her breathing but she couldn’t help it, the way he looked at her was sending shivers over her body and making her core ache. 

“Thank you.” Y/n manages to say her voice still a little shy. He ran his fingers through his hair before pushing himself off of the wall, he motions for her to spin around so he can untie the string for her, she does as shes told and moves her hair over her shoulder. He easily unties the string and he runs his fingers down her shoulder softly making her shiver and a whimper slips past her lips. “All set.” Scott whispers making her realize how close he is to her, she hold to top against her body before turning to face him again, their noses practically touching. Y/n’s eyes dart from his to his lips as she takes her bottom lip between her teeth, before they can go any further they are pulled apart by Tina rushing into the dressing room. “Y/n! Sorry I got caught up talking to--” She stops in her tracks when she sees the handsome man stepping away from Y/n who clears her throat and barely pulls her eyes away from Scott. “It’s fine Tina.” She says before looking away from him and toward her friend. Scott chuckles a little and hands Y/n his phone, her fingers ghost over the screen as she puts in her number before handing it back to him. “See you around.” Was all he says before leaving the dressing room. 

“What the hell was that?!” Tina asks and Y/n shakes her head chewing on the inside of her cheek. “I’ll tell you later when I can finally breath again.” She says giggling a little finally collecting herself, she felt like she was in a trance during their entire interaction. She headed back into the dressing room praying she would hear from him soon. As she put on another bathing suit, this one was a one piece she heard her phone vibrate against the seat in the dressing room, she picked it up and smirked when she read the message. 

Unknown: Damn, all I can think about is how good your body look in that bathing suit.

Episode 8

A rusical, okay! We like a rusical. Interesting how they've done it this year though, I don't think they've ever done a rusical where they weren't either singing live or lipsyncing to a pre-arranged track of vocals. Half of me thinks it would have been better if they'd just sung it live, but then I guess they couldn't have done the OTT choreo.

The rusical itself was a little weird, some of the writing was just odd, and the "jokes" really weren't that funny. Anyway, let's talk about it!

1. Denali

I was worried for Denali this week! It happens so often on this show where we see queens say "I don't understand why I've only been safe I have to really up my game this week" and then they promptly get the judges attention in all the wrong ways and get sent home. I also kind of think Rosé did her a massive favour by refusing to give her the role they fought over (I can't even remember the names, they were all bizarre), because I think Denali would have got so in her head about that role and just wouldn't have been able to let go and have fun like she did.

After the Anne Hathaway call though, she just seemed so much happier and more relaxed, and she kind of just went into it with a much better attitude and she killed it! She did an awesome job in the rusical, it was fun to see her play a sort of grungy, messy character because she's so polished usually. She did an amazing job, and she deserved to be in the top this week!

Her look for me was a little bit meh, I just wish the snake headpiece had been bigger and bolder. From a distance it kind of looked like noodles. But it was still good, she still looked great, and I'm proud of her!

2. Elliott

Why is Elliott still there? I don't get it. She should have gone last week, and then this week her performance was just okay, and her look was a worse version of Tina's.

She should have been lipsyncing for me, or at least in the bottom three! I don't get what they see in her.

3. Gottmik

Gottmik was great this week! I loved her performance, again it was fun watching her do something outside her comfort zone, she's not really known for being a dancer, so it was cool to see that. I really like that she really genuinely gave that her absolute best, like she knew she wasn't a great dancer but she worked really hard to get that choreography, and she did it great!

Her look was stunning, obviously! Gottmik and Symone are carrying the runway fashion this season. It was very cool, very conceptual, very Gottmik.

I dont know that I necessarily would have put her in the top this week. I think she was great, but I actually think Tina should have been in the top - which is something I never thought I'd say!

4. Kandy Muse

I feel like Kandy was mostly just unfortunate this week.

I think her recorded track was great - I did think there were to many vocal effects on it, but that's not really her choice, she can't blame her. I also think she's not a bad dancer, but I think she was thrown off to some extent by her wardrobe choices - the wig got in the way too much, and the skirt seemed to be a bit restricting, it just doesn't seem like she thought those choices through very well. It wasn't her best performance, but I also don't think it was a bad performance, which is kind of why I think she was just unfortunate.

Her runway this week I think was stunning. I feel like every week I say she's never looked prettier, but honestly this week she looked so pretty!! I loved the daisy's in her hair, and that long wig was so stunning with all that gorgeous fabric, I just loved it.

I think it's right that she was in the bottom, but again I don't think she did a bad job this week, I think she just delivered an average performance, when most of the other queens had a good performance.

5. Olivia Lux

Another great week for Olivia! She has such a stunning voice I was so excited to hear her do more singing. I kind of think she should have been in the tip three, but again I am biased, as an Olivia Stan 😂

My only real criticism of her this week was her outfit in the rusical? I get that she was a tech student, and I think she was just going for a casual look, it's just kind of unfortunate that it came off boring instead. I kind of wish she'd leaned into a more student look, and done like, stained sweatpants, and a really messy bun. Actually, it would have been really funny if, you know like you see art students with messy buns and a pencil through it? If she'd have done a messy bun and like a computer mouse through it or something! But overall her performance was incredible.

She always brings it on the runway as well, she brings these kind of pageant gowns, but in a really beautiful and modern way? I love it. I loved the big puff sleeve, I loved the fringe, she looked stunning.

6. Rosé

Rosé made me so happy this week! Her voice is so incredible, that Don't Rain on My Parade pastiche literally gave me chills! She is talented as hell, and I'm glad the judges are seeing it.

Her performance was really incredible - she's an incredible singer, and a great dancer - but I have a similar thing as Olivia about her outfit in the rusical? It just seemed like kind of an odd choice. I didn't get until like halfway through that she was meant to be like "the slutty friend", I just didn't really get that from her look. When the dress kept riding up it just looked like a mistake, you know what I mean? Again, it's a nitpick - they probably didn't have a whole lot of outfit choices for this challenge because they didn't know their roles before they came.

I loved her runway look as well! I loved the Mask reference, the only thing I wish is that she'd had a big hat, instead of that tiny fascinator. I'm so nitpick today, honestly! I just sort of wish she'd walked out with a big hat pulled right down and then revealed the green face when she hit the end of the runway. But that's just me! I did think it was stunning. I also don't think it was orange? Like it was the orange side of yellow, but it was definitely still yellow!

I'm really glad she won this challenge, she deserved it so much!

7. Symone

Symone had a bit of a rough week, and I feel for her. She really struggled with her vocals, and look not everyone is a singer, that's okay! But I can see how much she got I her head having seen other queens absolutely kill their vocals, and I think she just felt really insecure about it. I do kind of think it's unfair that they record their vocals in front of everyone else. When it's a team challenge, it makes sense, but when they're competing as individuals it just seems unfair and literally designed to make the queens who aren't singers feel bad!

Also, sidenote, they recors vocals in this huge, wide open runway room, that can't be good acoustics in which to record vocals, surely. In earlier seasons they seemed to use (at least something akin to) a recording studio? I'm confused.

Anyway, it was tough to watch this week, because she really did just get in her head about it, and it affected her whole performance. She wasn't having a good time, and that was rough. I do think part of the problem is that she was wearing sunglasses during the performance? When the audience can't see your eyes it's really difficult for them to connect with you while you're performing. It was just a shame.

Her runway look though! Honestly, her and Gottmik are going to need physio after carrying the whole of the fashion for season 13 on their backs! It was so stunning, that big coat, and the suspenders; she looked so cool and fashionable, I just immediately forgave the rest of her performance!

Unfortunately, I do think she deserved to be in the bottom this week, but I really hope she can pull back up to being the Symone we all know and love next week!

8. Tina Burner

I actually really liked Tina this week! I've been very underwhelmed with Tina this season, but I actually think she did a great job this week! I loved her very Liza Minelli rusical performance (and look), she was giving me that very old Broadway half talking, half singing; and I think it was great! Okay Michelle, she stopped lipsyncing like 2 seconds before the track when she died, but she really performed her track, and she sang it really well!

And then her runway look was great! It was campy, but it was also beautiful! It was fitted beautifully, it was cut beautifully, she looked stunning, the headlights on the tits was hilarious - and I noticed after the lipsync that those were actual lights! They actually lit up! So cute! And finally she wore something other than a red wig, and she looked so beautiful! Her face was gorgeous, the hair was perfect, it was great. So polished.

She did not at all deserve to be bottom three this week - especially not when Elliott with 3 Ks was safe.

9. Utica

I feel like my opinion on Utica goes up and down all the Time. Sometimes I think she's great, and other times I just feel kind of bored by her.

This week I was a little bored. I think she did well delivering that track, that's a tough vocal part. That's it.

Maybe that's not super fair. I just think her actual performance was a bit boring, and her facial expressions are genuinely becoming hard to watch. I am not looking forward to watching her lipsync when she lands in the bottom two.

I also hated hated hated her runway look this week. I know she was going for this medieval thing and she explained the cutout sides and all that, but it was ugly. And not even in a cool way of being ugly but fashionable, or so ugly that it's pretty; it was just fuck ugly.

I think it was right that she was safe, her performance was better than Kandy, Symone and Elliott, but her runway look was definitely the worst.

This week was kind of a weird one, because I really really didn't understand the judging criteria this week. I am still baffled that Elliott was safe, I'm baffled that she's still there at all, honestly. I'm also still shocked about Tina being in the bottom?! I don't get it.

I am kind of glad it was a double shantay this week - I just kind of feel like neither Kandy nor Symone actually did a bad enough job to go home this week.

Having said that, it is getting very tiring that there is still so many queens there! 8 episodes and only 4 queens have gone home? How long is this fucking series going to be???
