Oh was inspired to make “Namoo” while grieving the loss of his grandfather, using his personal life as the centerpiece. “I went on a journey to ask questions,” Oh said. “I asked questions. Of course, I document my thoughts and provide a room for the audience to probe it and think about themselves too. That being said, I think I discovered a lot about who I am while making this film....
The first of the show’s sonic layers is, of course, all the stuff we do see on screen, and Reylea said the goal there was to be as authentic as possible, especially to the far more gritty New York of the 1990s. “[Showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine] was very adamant about everything being exactly the [actual] sounds, so we went out and recorded a lot of the sounds you’re hearing in the show....
In the months leading up to the highly anticipated sequel, may felt that the film’s plot and release date were almost as big of a mystery as the identity of the murderer. The Greek-set film features Benoit Blanc solving a new original mystery, but little else was known about the project. That all changed during the Toronto International Film Festival, when the film released a teaser after its world premiere and confirmed a November theatrical run ahead of its December streaming release date....
What follows is a TV thriller centered on the hunt for an algorithmic super-intelligence; a self-learning program that the series’ main characters believe is murdering people to protect its secrets. In the process, “neXt” is a serial killer story and a detective show and a prophet of catastrophe, delivered together in one-hour chunks. LeBlanc’s alarm-sounding eventually weaves its way into the work of Shea Salazar (Fernanda Andrade), leader of an FBI cybercrime task force based out of Portland....
“I worked with Nicole before [on 2015’s ‘Secret in Their Eyes’] and, obviously, I was a fan and admirer and friend,” Ray explained of his involvement in a recent interview with Variety, celebrating the ad’s one-year anniversary. “She had been asked by AMC to do an ad and wanted my help with it. I said, ‘OK,’ of course, because it’s Nicole.” Working with producers Jeff and Tim Cronenweth to render an appropriately over-the-top welcome message for film lovers amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Ray said he was told “that it was basically going to be Nicole looking amazing and walking into a movie theater....
The list of plaudits Connery received in his lifetime span a wide spectrum. He won an Academy Award, for playing a hard-edged cop in “The Untouchables,” received the Kennedy Center Honor, and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. But his acclaim went to even greater extremes: Scottish newspaper The Sunday Herald called him “The Greatest Living Scot” while People Magazine didn’t just vote him “Sexiest Man Alive” in 1989 but “Sexiest Man of the Century” a decade later....
Kotsur is detailing one of the complications that arose as Sian Heder’s film “CODA” (Children of Deaf Adults) told the story of the Rossi family — his dad character Frank, mom Jackie (as played with, let’s-just-say-verve by Marlee Matlin), tempestuous son Leo (Daniel Durant), and the family’s one hearing person, Ruby (British actress Emilia Jones). Made on a tight budget and schedule after several years of set-up and struggle by writer-director Heder (“Tallulah”), it found an opening night slot at Sundance last year and became a bust-out audience favorite that drew the richest festival sale — $25 million to AppleTV+....
