Based on true events and adapted from Justin Fenton’s non-fiction book of the same name, “We Own This City” is developed by “The Wire” creator David Simon and George Pelecanos, also a producer and writer on that series. The limited series, directed by “King Richard” filmmaker Reinaldo Marcus Green, premieres April 25 on HBO. The cast includes Jon Bernthal, Jamie Hector, Josh Charles, and Wunmi Mosaku. “We Own This City” chronicles the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department’s Gun Trace Task Force (GTTF), where corruption ran rampant amid policies of drug prohibition and celebrated mass arrests in lieu of detective work....

The dance in Spielberg’s “West Side Story” is different from what we’ve seen in movie musicals in the last half century. The film marks a stunning retrieval of a relationship between Hollywood, Broadway, and the ballet world not really seen since, well, the original Jerome Robbins-Robert Wise “West Side Story.” For his update, Spielberg turned to the person who currently holds Robbins’ old position as resident choreographer at the New York City Ballet, 34-year-old phenom Justin Peck....

Commuting less definitely reduces your carbon footprint, but have you looked into building an environmentally conscious home office? There are plenty of great companies that prioritize the reduction of waste and emissions, to make sustainable furniture and office supplies....

Yet Alicia Vikander recalled to Harper’s Bazaar UK that she didn’t always have that experience during productions. Vikander, who next stars in Olivier Assayas’ “Irma Vep” TV series, said coordinators “should have existed at the beginning of my career” to hopefully curb uncomfortable encounters. “I’ve been in situations that were not fine, where I didn’t feel I was protected,” Vikander said. The “Tomb Raider” star described one instance of being on set where “everyone was busy doing their own thing and, in the middle, you have an actor who sits there naked for a couple of hours....

It’s like an absurd 2D cross between “Archer” and “Clone High,” which isn’t surprising, since it’s directed by “Archer” producer Matt Thompson and produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who are rebooting “Clone High” for HBO Max, while writing and producing “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2,” which is co-written by “America” scribe Dave Callaham (Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”). “Dave showed us this crazy [live-action] script he had written 10 years ago to just to blow off some steam, never thinking that anything would come of it, and when we read it, we thought it would be a crazy idea to make it,” said Miller during a recent interview with IndieWire....

Once the motive behind this act of generosity is questioned, though, things get muddled, and people around him start to question whether he’s actually deserving of plaudits.
