I missed this one: Tom Waits appeared in the movie Absence of Eden, directed by Marco Perego, which was released in the US last year.
And another movie starring Tom Waits, Father, Mother, Sister, Brother (with a cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver and Charlotte Rampling), is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, director Jim Jarmusch told France Inter a couple of months ago.
Anti is releasing a 7" vinyl version of the 'spritiual' version of Get behind the mule to celebrate Record Store Day on April 12.
Last year, Waits co-hosted an Iggy Confidential episode, echoing their famous appearance in Jim Jarmusch’s Coffee and Cigarettes. The 2-hour program will re-air on Sunday, Dec 29 @ 4pm (GMT) on @bbcsounds

On December 7, 1949, Thomas Alan Waits was born to Jesse Frank Waits and Alma Johnson McMurray.
To mark the 50th anniversary of The Heart of Saturday Night, ANTI- is reissuing the album on two limited edition colors: 'slightly gold' (limited to 800 copies) and 'raspberry beret (limited to 3,700 copies).
These releases will be out on December 6th, but are available for pre-order now.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of Mule Variations, the album is re-issued on 180g 'slightly silver'-coloured vinyl. You can get it here.
In this alternate take of the album's iconic track, Waits' gospel moans resonate with raw emotion, accompanied only by a gritty Wurlitzer. This stripped-down rendition amplifies the dark narrative of murder and perseverance (....).
