“We’re almost done with the writing for Season 4, here in London, with the American writers coming over,” Armstrong said (via Variety). “They’re a really great group of people to talk about the nuances of character and the world and what we’re doing on the show.” “Succession” continues to be a massive hit for HBO with ratings improving each year, and it remains a favorite at the Emmy race this fall....
“Daddy Longlegs” The brothers Safdie are, by now, an indie household name — but a decade ago, they burst onto the map with this captivating dramedy. The movie revolves around the reckless Lenny (Ronald Bronstein), an irresponsible dad to two young boys in New York City.

But after the handmade fur and felt vibe for the “Trolls” films, DreamWorks was ready to double down on 2D stylization for “The Bad Guys.” Best described as “Zootopia” meets “Oceans 11,” “The Bad Guys” features a crew of animal outlaws attempting to go straight — until they’re framed for the heist of a rare meteorite....

George and Bertha represent a more modern, non-traditional marriage as Bertha is both George’s equal and co-conspirator in business and their machinations to conquer New York high society....
Speaking to IndieWire on the NYFF red carpet, Bratton explained why he hopes the film’s success will create a diverse slate of opportunities for him. “I hope people in this big, bad business know that I can shoot action movies,” Bratton said. “I can shoot horror movies. I can tell stories about history. I personally have cinematic dyslexia where I don’t see a difference between documentary and fiction films. So I hope I get an opportunity to further blur that line....
