Expect to see some familiar faces returning to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital soon.
Jessica Capshaw is set to guest star in Season 20 of Grey’s Anatomy, reprising her beloved role as Dr. Arizona Robbins. Also Alex Landi will return as Dr. Nico Kim.
No word yet on how, exactly, these two will make their way back to Grey Sloan. Capshaw joined the cast in Season 5 and remained until Season 14, when Arizona left Seattle during the finale to move to New York so that her daughter Sophia could be closer to her other mom, Dr. Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez).
Landi recurred on the show from Seasons 15 to 18, before exiting in May 2022. While he was on the show, he was in an on-again off-again relationship with his co-worker Dr. Levi Schmitt (Jake Borelli), who is still on the show.
Additionally, Grey’s Anatomy is also adding two new faces, Natalie Morales and Freddy Miyares.

This story about Zazie Beetz and “Atlanta” first appeared in the Comedy Series issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
Over four seasons of “Atlanta,” Zazie Beetz has played some brilliantly strange situations as Van. But in the final season of the groundbreaking FX series created by Donald Glover, Beetz did some of her best work yet, particularly in the acidic “Work Ethic!” episode that satirizes a Tyler Perry-esque studio in which Beetz chases after her daughter (Austin Elle Fisher) after she’s swallowed up, almost Willy Wonka-style, into the dozens and dozens of soundstages overlorded by one Mr. Chocolate.
“Work Ethic!” is an incredible half hour of TV. Did it read more comic or more surreal when you first encountered it?
I remember reading it more as a critique of the creative industry, but the mother-daughter relationship stuck out to me the most. I was pretty taken by the comedy around Mr.

A version of this interview with ‘Memory Box’ directors Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige first appeared in the International issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
In Memory Box, a teenage girl in Montreal is transfixed when she discovers a box full of notebooks, audio tapes and photographs made by her mother during the civil war in Lebanon during the 1980s. Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige, who also work as visual and video artists, used Hadjithomas’ real notebooks from that time to inspire the story; many of those notebooks appear in the film, along with photographs taken by Joreige. The film is Lebanon’s Oscar entry.
An opening credit says your film was loosely adapted from real events. How did that work?

A version of this interview with “The Quiet Girl” director Colm Bairéad first ran in the International Film issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
Based on a novella by Claire Keegan, “The Quiet Girl” is the understated story of Cáit, a young girl from a large family who is sent to spend the summer with a couple on a remote farm in an Irish-speaking area. The film is Ireland’s entry in the Oscars Best International Feature Film category, and director Colm Bairéad’s first narrative feature after a career of making documentaries.
Why choose this film for your first narrative feature?
I’ve done a lot of documentaries over the years, but having said that, my first love was always fiction filmmaking. I was always trying to get shorts made and trying to develop features and a TV series at one point. And I’ve always had a deep...

A version of this interview with “Joyland” director Saim Sadiq first appeared in the International Film issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
First-time feature director Saim Sadiq’s tender, gritty, local-color-infused tale of Haider, an introverted married man (Ali Junejo) who falls in love with trans woman performer Biba (Alina Khan), was the first Pakistani film to ever premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize and the Queer Palme.
We spoke with Sadiq before Pakistan’s Ministry Of Information and Broadcasting banned “Joyland” for “highly objectionable material,” which would have prevented its domestic theatrical release and jeopardized its Oscar eligibility. The country’s censor board review committee did not uphold the ban and gave the film the green light for a theatrical release.
What is the film climate like in Pakistan?
Making an independent film is, as it is in America, very hard.

A version of this interview with “Return to Seoul” director Davy Chou first ran in the International Film issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
In “Return to Seoul,” a young French woman named Freddie (Park Ji-min) takes a spontaneous trip to South Korea, her country of birth before she was adopted and brought to France. During her stay, she hesitantly meets her birth father and grapples with her identity.
Over eight years, we watch her try on and reject various versions of herself, constantly pushing back against any ascribed notion of who society expects her to be. Davy Chou wrote and directed the film, basing the story on a friend’s life trajectory and drawing from his own experience as the son of Cambodian parents who was born and raised in France.
We spoke with Chou about his new film, which is Cambodia’s Oscar entry.

This story about “Decision to Leave” and director Park Chan-wook first appeared in the International Film issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
Best known for his action films “Oldboy” and “Lady Vengeance” and the erotic tale “The Handmaiden,” Korean auteur Park Chan-wook is more understated in this slow-burn tale of a police detective who becomes obsessed with a woman he suspects of killing her husband. He did this interview through a translator.
What was the genesis of this story?
It starts from my high school days when I read the novel series on Martin Beck (by Swedish authors Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö). At first I wanted to adapt those novels into a movie. Then I changed my mind and I wanted to adapt a single chapter — but looking back at the story that was written from it, I realized that the story of the chapter is actually not present anymore.

This story about “Corsage” and Vicky Krieps first appeared in the International Film issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
In “Corsage,” Vicky Krieps does more than give a hauntingly convincing portrayal of the iconic “Empress Sisi,” the 19th-century Austrian monarch Elisabeth, Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary, as familiar to central Europeans as Queen Elizabeth was in current times. She also brings her own wit, politics and feminist views to what has been hailed as a modern interpretation of a tragic tale of celebrity, in collaboration with writer-director Marie Kreutzer. Krieps’ performance, which won her the Best Performance award in the Un Certain Regard section at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, required her to endure breath-defying corsets and learn to ride sidesaddle, among other tortures of 19th-century womanhood. Still, the forced ennui of life in a gilded cage may have been the most exquisite torture of them all...
