Glover is now in production on the third and fourth seasons of his acclaimed FX comedy series “Atlanta.” The creator, writer, star, and director of the series was supposed to begin filming the show in 2020, but the pandemic delayed the project into 2021. “Atlanta” is going global in its third season, as productions started last month in London and will move to Amsterdam and Paris as filming continues. The new episodes will wrap filming in Atlanta....

“It was the first night there,” Glover, who serves as a screenwriter alongside brother and series creator Donald Glover, said during the Television Critics Association winter press tour, as reported by Insider. “This group of people walks up. And maybe one of them kind of notices Donald or recognizes him. And she stops and they start asking if they know anywhere around here to get something to drink. I think we were talking to them for a second....

There are many reasons why trans feminine identities have been more visible in the years that have seen a steady growth in trans media representation, which Time dubbed “The Transgender Tipping Point” in its historic 2014 Laverne Cox cover story. As “Her Story” writer and actress Jen Richards told me in 2017, “I think it’s more intriguing to the imagination and repelling to many people.

The other is “Phoenix Rising,” a new documentary from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Amy Berg (“Deliver Us from Evil,” “An Open Secret”) centered on actress Evan Rachel Wood and her story as a survivor and accuser of Marilyn Manson, whom she named as her alleged abuser in February 2021....

It’s a familiar tale — the longing for another life elsewhere, a promise that is at once near and far away, and it speaks to the European migrant crisis. It’s also a tale that was inspired by the filmmakers’ own journey. Shot in long takes, the pair was inspired by the films of Hou Hsiao-hsien and other films of New Taiwanese Cinema, as well as neorealist work like Vittorio De Sica’s “The Bicycle Thief,” for the immersion into their environments....

Nevertheless, and in the spirit of its namesake, John Hoffman and Janet Tobias’ TV-ready “Fauci” marches forward as if nothing matters but the job at hand. The result is a fittingly sober and unflashy biodoc that’s far less engaging as a portrait of a public servant (brace for exclusive footage of Fauci drinking coffee in his kitchen) than it is as a testament to the values he’s embodied during his many decades of being America’s doctor....
