With ‘The Grand Finale,’ ‘Downton Abbey’ is really coming to an end

Julian Fellowes has been saying goodbye to “Downton Abbey” for nearly as long as it has existed. The creators are really saying a final farewell with “Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale,” which opens in theaters nationwide Friday. Fellowes said in a recent interview with The Associated Press that it is sad and that it has been a huge chunk of his life. “Downton Abbey” was conceived by producer Gareth Neame as a kind of spinoff to “Gosford Park.” It was in many ways an improbable hit. The first two features grossed more than $287 million at the worldwide box office.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Jaws” is the subject of the first ever large-scale exhibit devoted to a single film at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. At a media preview, director Steven Spielberg and museum officials introduced the 50th anniversary show that opens Sunday and runs through July. Spielberg says at the time he was making the movie, he had no idea that any prop from it would be worth keeping, but he's glad others did.

Fall Movie Guide: Here are the films coming out from September to Christmas

Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc is back. So are the stars of “Wicked” and the animals of “Zootopia.” Summer may be known as sequel season, but part twos, and threes, will play big roles this fall at the movies. That goes not just for the likes Rian Johnson’s “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,” “Wicked: For Good” and “Zootopia 2,” but for new installments in family sagas from the Crawleys to the Na’vi. Still, much of the season will belong, as it always does, to original dramas and awards contenders. Hollywood tends to save its best for last.

NEW YORK (AP) — A lawyer for Taylor Swift says the singer can answer questions in October — if she is forced — from attorneys involved in the litigation between actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni stemming from their roles in the movie “It Ends With Us.” But attorney J. Douglas Baldridge noted in a letter to the New York federal judge presiding over the dispute on Friday that Swift has “no material role in this action.” Lively sued Baldoni in late December, alleging sexual harassment.

Music Review: Ed Sheeran returns to his roots on 'Play,' a cross-cultural playground

NEW YORK (AP) — Ed Sheeran has long sought to bring people together with his music, whether it be his emotionally resonant acoustic ballads or unproblematic, danceable pop hits. His eight studio album, “Play,” stays in that familiar lane, writes The Associated Press' Elise Ryan. Recorded throughout his “Mathematics World Tour,” the project feels split. Sheeran the hitmaker returns on parts of the project, including the addictive “Sapphire,” featuring Indian singer Arijit Singh. Other songs fall more in line with Sheeran's past projects, deviating little from the narrative songwriting toolkit that raised him.
