“When this television show is done, I’m not going to seek others,” Martin said at the time. “I’m not going to seek other movies. I don’t want to do cameos. This is, weirdly, it.” He also added that his family life makes him less inclined to take on projects that require him to travel (“Only Murders in the Building” films in New York City, where he lives). “I have a family life that’s really fun,” Martin said....
The teaser trailer for “Succession” Season 4 shows the Roy siblings, played by Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong, Alan Ruck, and Sarah Snook, combining their respective corporate forces to take over conglomerate Waystar Royco. It’s a “rebel alliance,” as Ruck says in the trailer. The only issue, other than the Shakespearian coup? Shiv (Snook) has to confront her husband Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) over his siding with Logan. The first footage for the new season of the Emmy-winning HBO series showed Cox as Logan declaring that Waystar Royco is “killing the opposition....
But after studying Peter Morgan’s “grand opera” about the royal family and immersing herself in the historical research, Roberts eventually got the particular DNA. “It’s that balance of the gritty reality of the history with the glamorous, stylized view of that world, which Peter Morgan [brought],” she said. Mainly, though, it’s about the relationship between the good sister (Elizabeth) and the bad sister (Margaret), which culminates in the memorable season finale (“Cri de Coeur”), for which Roberts is nominated....
When last we were in Gilead, audiences saw a bloodied but not broken June (Elisabeth Moss) suffering from a gunshot wound after successfully secreting more than 50 of the restrictive republic’s children onto a plane for transport to safety in Canada. Carried to safety by her fellow handmaids, June recites Exodus 3: 7-8 to herself, which speaks of the Lord seeing the suffering of his people and delivering them to a land of milk and honey....
For “The Marksman,” Open Road held to the pre-pandemic 75 day window, grossing a little under $16 million in domestic theaters, before going PVOD. It took #1 at FandangoNow, #2 at Apple TV, and #3 at GooglePlay. “Nomadland” took the final top spot, placing first at Apple TV at $5.99 after a PVOD release (and while it still runs on Hulu). It is #9 at GooglePlay and #5 at FandangoNow, where it ranks highest among non-PVOD titles on that revenue-based chart...
It shouldn’t be that audacious, and yet it feels like it is. It also breaks boundaries because of the cross-genre storytelling — it’s both a survival tale and a coming-of-age story — and the fact that many of the characters are forced to deal with intersectional bias in their arcs. The logline is deceptively simple: Nine teenage girls are, ostensibly, headed to a female empowerment retreat in Hawaii. Things go terribly wrong, and the women have to form their own civilization and pecking order on a remote island....
The company, led by co-CEOs Reed Hastings and Ted Sarandos, has been embroiled in controversy over the last two weeks, since the October 5 release of “The Closer,” which triples down on Chappelle’s long-standing fixation on ripping into the transgender community. The mess included embarrassing leaks of internal communications, temporary suspensions of trans employees who spoke out, and, in one case, the termination of a Black non-binary employee. The very public lashing has been a PR nightmare for a company that has long touted its progressive values and resisted airing any and all dirty laundry in the public sphere....
