“Black Widow” stars Scarlett Johansson as the title’s S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and savvy KGB assassin. The “Black Widow” script, penned by Eric Pearson, is set after the events of “Captain America: Civil War” and finds Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow on the lam and heading to Russia to confront her past. This time, she’s joined by indie sensation and “Little Women” Academy Award nominee Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova. The cast also includes Rachel Weisz, David Harbour, O-T Fagbenle, William Hurt, Ray Winstone, and more....

Per Starz, the series will center on Ashley, who was nipping at the heels of a middle-class life in Oakland until Miles, her partner of 12 years and father of their son, is suddenly incarcerated, leaving her to navigate a chaotic and humorous existential crisis when she’s forced to move in with Miles’ mother and half-sister. The half-hour series will be written and executive produced by Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs, who starred, wrote, and produced the original film....

That’s the question at the center of Joshua Rofe’s hazy documentary “Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal, and Greed.” There was no doubt a real man behind the facade of the television-famous painter, but the film often feels like it’s scraping for a scandalous angle simply to make it worthy of Netflix and its big buzz machine. In the opening credits alone, dark clouds are painted on the horizon (pun very much intended) as Ross’ own son, Stephen, implies that his dear old dad hid many secrets....

Don’t expect anything like business as usual — in any sense of the word. The coverage will be different, and the business reported will be in similarly uncharted territory. Five films (including one reissue) are opening in the U.S. this weekend with wide national runs. They are all going into this blind, with both unique risks and opportunities. Those releasing movies are working with no normal rules at a time when recreating what worked in the past is impossible....

“It’s truly, truly awful. Really, really awful, what’s happening. And It’s particularly awful in terms of what is affecting the other people, particularly in our profession,” Cox said. But then he went a step further and expressed sympathy for another group that has received considerably less attention this week: people living in Russia. “The president of Ukraine was a comic. He was a wonderful comic performer. And we should respect that for him....

“The Duke and I,” a.k.a. the steamy historical romance that served as the basis for the first season of Netflix’s Shonda Rhimes hit “Bridgerton,” has made its way to the top of the New York Times bestseller list, at last — just 21 years after its initial publication. In fact, the first book in Julia Quinn’s “Bridgerton” series, which has been the No. 1 print and e-book fiction novel for two weeks in a row, isn’t even the only “Bridgerton” book that’s currently a bestseller — its sequel, “The Viscount Who Loved Me,” sits at No....

The documentary is directed by Erin Lee Carr, who has made a name for herself through her directorial work on high-profile topics in titles such as “How to Fix a Drug Scandal” and “I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth v. Michelle Carter,” which premiered on Netflix and HBO, respectively. Netflix published the trailer for the documentary one day after dropping a Twitter teaser for the project that featured an audio snippet of a voicemail Spears sent to a lawyer in 2009....
