chain set to take over High Street cinema while historical Highams Park venue returns News | London Two cinemas are set to reopen in the Walthamstow area after councillors approved a plan for a historic venue to be given a new lease of life after 60 years The Regal in Hale End Road, Highams Park is set to be transformed as part of a plan that will see a cinema in the venue for the first time since 1963 Only a few miles away, Walthamstow town centre is set to get its only multiplex back with Forest Cinemas primed to open where Empire closed last July While neither venue yet has an opening date it is good news for film fans who have gone without a regular venue for some time Waltham Forest council deputy leader Ahsan Khan said of the Highams Park project: “This is an exciting step in the journey to reinvigorate a much cherished but neglected historical cinema “I know Highams Park residents have been waiting a long time for the site to come forward and it’s finally happening.”   The Regal was bought by developer Mammoth Capital in 2018 with the site having been used as a bingo and snooker hall since its original closure After planning approval the building is set to be turned into a two screen venue as well as a cafe and block of 33 residential apartments consisting of 18 one-bed flats and 15 two-bed flats Councillor Rosalind Doré said: “The Regal Cinema is an iconic building in the centre of Highams Park “There has been much enthusiasm from the local community to revitalise the building and create a space that everyone can benefit from.” She added that a process has started to try and find an operator for the venue “The site owner will be responsible for marketing the space and agreeing the lease with a cinema operator with the council assisting with the promotion to get the best offer for Highams Park residents and the town centre,” she said Walthamstow chippie owner 'worried someone would break in after Banksy artwork' Legislation to strengthen

Empire closed its Walthamstow High Street cinema last July and subsequent efforts to revive the site have proved fruitless, with damage being caused by squatters But the operator of Forest Cinemas, PDJ Cinemas, which charges only £3.50 for all tickets at its Romford venue is reportedly weeks away from re-opening the cinema Director James Jervis told the Waltham Forest Echo that confirming the

the creation of such a unique and visionary project Working closely alongside Gordon Murray’s project team we have delivered industry leading quality in service “The new Gordon Murray Automotive HQ at Highams Park represents a significant investment for the business and is a statement of intent for the company’s future It is extremely satisfying that we’re able to continue T.50 manufacturing at the new site while also streamlining production of T.33 where all future GMA models will be produced the company is on course to complete all 100 exclusive T.50 customer cars The build of the 25 track-only T.50s Niki Lauda models will follow the completion of the T.50 run the production team will transfer to building the T.33 coupe before that supercar’s open-top sibling – the T.33 Spider –

teams benefit from the latest technologies and optimised production layout The film school dropout picked litter in London parks before he was pulled from obscurity Now he's shooting raunchy sex scenes with Nicole Kidman “I definitely don’t have an overall arc in mind,” says Harris Dickinson when asked about his career goals “I just want to work with really good people And really well-written scripts are few and far between particularly from writer-directors.” But Dickinson certainly found one in Babygirl a fascinatingly ambiguous erotic thriller from Halina Reijn the Dutch writer-director who previously made 2022’s Gen Z horror romp Bodies Bodies Bodies “Working with people like Nicole is obviously a major thing for an actor like me [who’s] still sort of finding his place in the world.” This last statement doesn’t smack of false modesty given that Dickinson is talking about Nicole Kidman the Hollywood icon whose fearless performance in Babygirl puts her on course for a sixth Oscar nomination The film begins with Kidman’s character faking an orgasm during sex with her husband (Antonio Banderas) then sneaking off to masturbate to “daddy porn” Dickinson has been talking about Babygirl all day when we meet in a London hotel room that’s been reconfigured for a film junket: there’s a spotless coffee table between us with two glasses of water waiting he remains polite and on the ball enough to remember that we’ve met before – impressive given that it was nearly three years ago Dickinson was up for the Rising Star prize but lost out to Bond actress Lashana Lynch sexy and very funny moment that’s destined to become a meme Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson in ‘Babygirl’ Dickinson hasn’t spawned as many memes as his contemporaries – Paul Mescal or Timothée Chalamet – but his filmography could be the most interesting of any young actor The 28-year-old from east London broke through with his brilliant performance in 2017’s Beach Rats a queer coming-of-age film that dazzled that year’s Sundance Festival He perfectly and often wordlessly captured the inner turmoil of a Brooklyn teenager who acts straight in front of his mates but is hooking up with guys on the down low which arrives a couple of months after Steve McQueen’s Blitz in which Dickinson shines as a wartime firefighter is another demonstration of his ability to inhabit tricky His Samuel is intuitive enough to spot Romy’s kink for being dominated and cocky enough to demand her as his workplace mentor he struggles to keep a grip on their shifting power dynamic and makes strange choices that spook her “I think he’s frightened by his own behaviour – he’s terrified of himself,” Dickinson says While Kidman’s Romy is accessing feelings that she’s previously kept hidden Dickinson believes Samuel is exploring his own buried propensity for “rage and darkness” intriguingly: “There’s almost a sort of mysticism that he taps into he’s a blagger and an unreliable narrator for his own story,” Dickinson replies I think it’s important that we don’t understand too much about his backstory so that he can imprint on us.” Dickinson gently deflects when NME suggests that playing a conflicted dom daddy could be seen as “brave” or a big swing “I think Nicole has to contest with a little more bravery than me,” he says “But I was definitely excited by the script because I was unsure of what it was He says his urge to act comes from “a deep insecurity He felt “totally at home” the first time he stepped on a film set “There’s nothing like finding your community in a film set or theatre,” he says because you’re kind of contributing towards something bigger.” He also enjoys the opportunity to learn something new – about himself human nature or the world at large – that acting provides “That’s been an important lesson because it wasn’t until I left school that I began to understand my own thirst for knowledge It was only later that I started to tap into my own quizzical… What’s the word I’m looking for Dickinson attended his local comprehensive school in Highams Park but found lessons too structured and prescriptive “It was all based on retaining information then regurgitating it in a very formal way and I wasn’t very good at that because I didn’t care enough or I didn’t have anyone that made me care.” He pauses to check himself including picking up litter in Potters Fields Park near Tower Bridge Triangle Of Sadness and now Babygirl as “pivotal” in his career he can still take the tube without being bothered but slippery Samuel could make him into a hipster leading man of course – Dickinson says today that he hasn’t acted “in like a year” That’s because he’s focused on his first feature film as director Limousine Dreams starring Frank Dillane (Renegade Dell which he describes as “an urban odyssey about a guy coming out of homelessness” Today’s Babygirl press day falls in the middle of a gruelling 14-week edit to complete it but Dickinson doesn’t seem fazed by his break from acting “I don’t think I could go back-to-back [with roles] like some people,” he says “I’d feel like I was drawing on the same stuff all the time – I need time to crack on with normal stuff you do tend to turn into something else.”  ‘Babygirl’ is out in UK cinemas today (January 10) The world’s defining voice in music and pop culture: breaking what’s new and what’s next since 1952 Incident comes days after Fazia Shaheen was barred from running as Labour candidate in area The office used by the Chingford and Woodford Green Labour Party has been daubed with antisemitic graffiti suggesting that Israel is responsible for the party axing a general election candidate Faiza Shaheen was not endorsed by Labour’s National Executive Committee (NEC) to contest the Chingford and Woodford Green seat for Labour after she allegedly liked a series of social media posts that downplayed antisemitism accusations photos emerged of the Labour office daubed with graffiti reading: “Israel lobby out” and “UK MPs for UK Not Israel” Local Labour activists later scrubbed the graffiti off the office The incident comes days after Ms Shaheen told BBC Newsnight that she had received an email to say she would be blocked from standing as a Labour candidate A Labour source confirmed to the Standard that Ms Shaheen would not be running on July 4 Newsnight reported that Ms Shaheen was called to a meeting with a panel of NEC members on Tuesday in which they highlighted posts which raised questions about her suitability as a candidate One post said: “Every time you say something even mildly critical of Israel you’re immediately assailed by scores of hysterical people who explain to you why you’re completely wrong you can’t easily ignore them because those are not just random people They tend to be friends or people who move in the same circles as you Those people are mobilised by professional organisations.” Ms Shaheen said she does not remember liking the post in question In a statement shared online following the decision she said: “I am heartbroken at this decision but it does not come as a surprise It is the end of a systemic campaign of racism Islamophobia and bullying from some within the party which began when I first announced I wanted to run for Labour again.” Speaking to supporters who gathered outside a supermarket in Highams Park on Friday evening Ms Shaheen said she felt there was “no way back” for her into the Labour party to make us grovel and beg – no,” she added Shama Tatler was recently announced as Labour's candidate for Chingford and Woodford Green Ms Tatler said: “This shameful vandalism is not just an attack on our campaign - it's an attack on our whole community American activist shot dead during protest in West
