Lightyear New Trailer Chris Evans Buzz Lightyear Battles Robots

Meet Space Ranger Buzz (Chris Evans), who sets out to save his fellow astronauts after a year of being “marooned” on an intergalactic planet. “A year of work for a four-minute flight,” Buzz explains in the latest trailer for Disney-Pixar film, “Lightyear.” “Isn’t that something?” With David Bowie’s “Starman” setting the “Guardians of the Galaxy” meets “Toy Story” tone, “Lightyear” skyrockets into adventure, reminding viewers that every hero has to start somewhere....

Lost Notes 1980 Hanif Abdurraqib On The Kcrw Podcast S Latest Season

Aside from giving the chance for listeners of the show to experience these stories from four decades past in full, Abdurraqib explains that dropping the whole season at once came from a desire for the season to have a rhythm and shape akin to an album. “We kind of agonized over the order,” Abdurraqib told IndieWire. “I assume people will listen to the whatever one interests them first. But there are some that create bridges between each other....

Ludwig G Ransson Wins Emmy For Outstanding Music Composition

IndieWire interviewed the composer in August about his work in “The Mandalorian,” where he discussed crafting music that resonated with the series’ stoic protagonist. “What’s interesting is that it’s about a lone rider, a gunslinger,” Göransson told IndieWire. “And, today, in any film or TV show, there are so many stories going on at once, and for this show you’re just following one man and his perspective the whole time. And you don’t get his facial expressions because he’s wearing a helmet....

Ma Rainey S Black Bottom Oscar Winners Mia Neal And Jamika Wilson

Alongside fellow winner Sergio Lopez-Rivera, Davis’ personal makeup artist, the trio happily accepted the honor for their big screen August Wilson adaptation. Backstage at the in-person ceremony, the three artisans were still giddy and more than thrilled to talk about what the history-making win means for the industry going forward. “Everybody benefits from diversity,” Neal said. “Everyone does, so I think everybody wants it, to be honest, I think that has been the thing....

Mank Could Dominate Oscar Craft Races

Netflix also did well by collecting three nominations apiece from Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7” (Phedon Papamichael’s cinematography, editing, and the “Hear My Voice” song) and “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” (costume, makeup and hair, and production design), in addition to solo nominations from George Clooney’s sci-fi “The Midnight Sky” (visual effects), Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods” (Terence Blanchard’s score), and “The Life Ahead (La Vita Davanti a Se),” as Diane Warren secured her 12th original song nomination for “Io Si (Seen)....

Michael B Jordan Bombed Star Wars Audition For J J Abrams

“I think it was I couldn’t wrap my brain around some of the sides because you know when you’re reading for these high-level projects, there’s never really any specificity in the sides,” Jordan said. “Everything’s like super vague; everything is in secret. Reading through, I just couldn’t connect it. I definitely bombed that one for sure.” Jordan is far from the only actor to blow his “Star Wars” audition. Tom Holland also auditioned for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” (both actors went out for the role of Finn, which eventually went to John Boyega) and failed miserably in the audition room....

Mike Review Mike Tyson S Real Drama Gets Featherweight Hulu Series

“Mike” is presented largely as an exercise in self-examination, opening with Tyson as he prepares to step on stage and narrate the events of his own tumultuous life, from his rise to fame as a boxing prodigy straight out of juvenile detention, to his dramatic pivot to convicted rapist at the height of his career. This would be an intriguing framing device if it wasn’t borrowed from Tyson’s own one-man show “Undisputed Truth,” which premiered on Broadway in 2012 in a production directed by Spike Lee....
