"Last Night At the Lobster" is a novella written by Stewart O'Nan, following Manny, the manager of a Red Lobster restaurant that's closing. The story is set on the restaurant's last night, following him and his team as they're snowed in the restaurant and make the most out of their last shift.
“I feel I’ve been preparing for the last 30 years to make this movie," said Moura in a statement. "When I first read Last Night At The Lobster, it struck me as a classic holiday film with all the heightened emotion and heartwarming message that you expect, but also one that evokes the films about working class people which have been an integral part of cinematic storytelling and my biggest influence growing up in Brazil.”
Carson's incredible performance with Andrea Bocelli
Over the past couple of months, Carson has been celebrating an incredible achievement. She is one of Andrea Bocelli's collaborators, having a duet with him in his new records, "Duets." Earlier this month, she joined Bocelli at the British daytime series "The Morning," where the two performed "Moon River."
Bocelli shared a clip of their performance on social media, stunning his followers.
"Amazing voice and music," wrote a follower.
"Wooooow. Goosebumps all over my skin. I love both your voices. Real music you can feel," wrote a second person.
