Here’s the official synopsis: “Set in the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic, ‘Social Distance’ is an eight-part anthology series that showcases the power of the human spirit in the face of uncertainty and isolation. Each standalone episode is told through a virtual lens and captures the unique emotional experience of being forced apart by circumstance and having no choice but to communicate remotely and rely on technology to maintain any sense of connection....

As “No Way Home” nears the $800 million mark, it would be shocking if the Marvel movie didn’t debut at #1 on PVOD across the board. It’s likely to remain there for a long time, in part because “Uncharted” (also Sony, still #3 in its fifth box-office weekend) won’t appear for a while. The PVOD future for “The Batman” is uncertain, although the Warner Bros. title is expected to land on HBO Max April 19....

Cheadle and Del Toro will star alongside Jon Hamm, David Harbour, Amy Seimetz, Ray Liotta, Kieran Culkin, Brendan Fraser, Noah Jupe, Bill Duke, Frankie Shaw, and Julia Fox. The script was written by Ed Solomon, and Casey Silver is attached to produce. Soderbergh is producing the film as part of his overall deal with HBO Max. Soderbergh and Solomon previously collaborated on recently-released feature “Bill & Ted Face the Music” and HBO limited series “Mosaic....

Christian Blauvelt, Jude Dry, David Ehrlich, Tambay Obenson, and Zack Sharf contributed to this article. “At the Ready” “At the Ready” is a riveting piece of journalism — its director, Maisie Crow, is the editor of a weekly newspaper in west Texas — and one of the most eye-opening accounts of teen life that’s been put onscreen in years. Three high schoolers in Horizon, Texas participate in their school’s Criminal Justice Club, where they train on fake guns and learn proper procedure for disarming an active shooter, conducting a drug raid, and how to deal with a hostage situation....

The film opens with a shot that shouldn’t be so radical, but is: Sam (Firth) and Tusker (Tucci) are asleep, and naked, spooning amid tangled bedsheets, and the way Sam hangs clings to his partner telegraphs a gulf ahead. It’s so tender a moment you almost don’t want the camera to flinch. Sam, we learn, is a decorated composer, and Tusker a celebrated novelist, and to mark 20 years of being together, they’re embarking on a road trip across England to a destination that will prove devastating....

The news comes on the heels of announcements confirming Sweeney’s involvement in two other Sony films. She’ll play an undisclosed role opposite Dakota Johnson in “Madame Web” and both star in and executive produce an adaptation of Madison Lawson’s thriller novel “The Registration.” As with the original sci-fi flick, the early-stages “Barbarella” remake would reportedly adapt Jean-Claude Forest’s comic series, which ran as a serialized strip for the French publication V Magazine in early 1962 before getting published as a book in 1964....

The winners were determined by votes cast by the TCA’s network of more than 250 professional TV critics and journalists in the United States and Canada. Three wins was the ceiling for any contender at the TCA Awards, with Apple TV+, Netflix, and HBO all winning three awards, though with one victory for HBO Max, it would appear that the biggest winner of day is the Warner Media empire. While “Ted Lasso” made up all of the Apple TV+ TCA wins, Netflix’s three wins came in the form of “The Babysitters Club” in Outstanding Achievement in Youth Programming, “The Crown” in Outstanding Achievement in Drama, and “Deaf U,” which tied with Showtime’s “Couples Therapy” for Outstanding Achievement in Reality Programming....
