Part political history, part cultural record, each of “Pride’s” six episodes follow a single decade, beginning with the McCarthyism of the 1950s and ending with the growing mainstream acceptance of the 2000s. Produced by FX, Vice, and Killer Films, each episode is directed by different queer filmmakers who were given full creative license on what to feature. They include mainstays of the New Queer Cinema Tom Kalin and Cheryl Dunye alongside younger up-and-comers Andrew Ahn, Ro Haber, and Anthony Caronna & Alex Smith....

“We are thrilled to have ‘Atlanta’ back with a new season on March 24th,” said Eric Schrier, President, FX Entertainment in a statement. “Once again, Donald Glover, the producers and stellar cast have delivered another signature season synonymous with the excellence that makes ‘Atlanta’ so great.” Here’s the synopsis from FX: “Taking place almost entirely in Europe, Season 3 finds Earn (Donald Glover), Alfred / Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry), Darius (LaKeith Stanfield) and Van (Zazie Beetz) in the midst of a successful European tour, as the group navigates their new surroundings as outsiders, and struggle to adjust to the newfound success they had aspired to....

Efron gives his all to the depiction of a deadly waiting game, delivering a stark, staggering performance in a film peppered with several moments of genuine intrigue. Overall, however, “Gold,” like its title, does little to stand out in a crowd (it’s the 25th film to use the word as its title, according to IMDb), so committed to its stripped-down style of storytelling and monotonous sepia color scheme that there’s little left for the audience to connect with, leaving us parched for something to focus on besides the purulent third-degree sunburn on Efron’s face....

While answers to these questions will pour in over the coming months, the tea leaves started to take shape early Monday morning when the 2023 nominations were announced. With the industry paying particular attention to the voters’ choices, we’ve gathered the notable snubs and curious surprises across film and television. Check out the list below, and prepare for the January 10 telecast. Snubs Women Directors It is one thing for the Golden Globes to once again have a year where the Best Director – Motion Picture category has “all male nominees,” as Natalie Portman would retort, but the awards body is making its telecast return showing very little love for women-directed films in general....

“The Lost Daughter” cleared the competition during the ceremony, winning prizes for Best Feature, Breakthrough Director, and Outstanding Lead Performance, which Olivia Colman shared with “The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain” star Frankie Faison. Netflix’s Elena Ferrante adaptation directed and written by Maggie Gyllenhaal looks poised to take on more awards ceremonies this season, ahead of opening in theaters on December 17 and then streaming on the platform December 31. Kristen Stewart received this year’s Performer Tribute thanks to her performance in “Spencer....

But the exposure from del Toro’s masterful version of Carlo Collodi’s fable — which the Oscar-winning director of “The Shape of Water” recasts as a tale of rebellion set against the backdrop of Mussolini’s Fascist Italy — could finally point the Academy’s interest toward stop-motion achievements in production design, costume design, cinematography, sound, and original song. That’s important to del Toro, who endeavored to make “Pinocchio” like a live-action movie, by following the puppets with the camera and lighting the way he would actors....

“It’s the perfect way to tell the story,” del Toro told IndieWire, following a sneak peek of the first 38 minutes of his Netflix movie (premiering this weekend at the London Film Festival ahead of its closing-night special presentation at L.A.’s Animation Is Film Festival on October 29). “Everyone is a puppet. Being animated makes the existence of Pinocchio completely naturalistic the way you’re telling the tale. I’m surprised, happy, that it hasn’t been tackled like that before....

It’s the final curtain call for the most famous final girl. Iconic scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis confirmed that filming on her part on the production of “Halloween Ends” has wrapped, marking the end of her turn as Laurie Strode. “A bittersweet END for me on the Halloween movies,” Curtis captioned on Instagram February 22. “I’ve made great friends and have collaborated with wonderful artists on these three movies and today my part in the film has been completed and with it the END for me of this trilogy....

Ford is set to play General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross in “Captain America: New World Order,” opposite Anthony Mackie as the superhero following the events of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” Disney+ series. Shira Haas, Tim Blake Nelson, and Carl Lumbly are also starring in the Phase 5 MCU film. Deadline first reported the casting. Ford’s role of General Ross is a top-ranking military official who comes to lead the team of antiheroes known as the Thunderbolts....

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Styles gave himself away in more ways than one when discussing his upcoming film “My Policeman.” His comments not only revealed a lack of awareness around contemporary LGBTQ issues, but he also made bold claims about gay sex in film that are just patently untrue. Set in 1950s Britain, “My Policeman” sees Styles playing a closeted gay cop navigating two romances, one with a man and the other with a woman....

Hasbro says that even with a sale of these particular TV and film pieces, it will “maintain the capability to develop and produce animation, digital shorts, scripted TV and theatrical films for audiences related to core Hasbro IP.” Put simply, Hasbro wants to sell the parts of eOne that produces “The Woman King,” “Yellowjackets,” “The Rookie,” and “Naked & Afraid,” but keep the Transformers and Peppa Pig stuff. As a matter of fact, Hasbro plans to “significantly increase” its investment in its key brands, which also include Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, My Little Pony, Power Rangers, Play-Doh, Monopoly, and Clue....

Digital filmmaking was mostly resigned to DSLR, until RED digital came into the picture. The camera company quickly became a favorite among directors and cinematographers, including Steven Soderbergh, one of the earliest to use a RED camera when he shot both installments of “Che” in 2008. Given the hefty price tag, RED cameras are too pricey to buy for some indie filmmakers — other than the RED Komodo, which are geared for indie productions, most indie filmmakers would rent these cameras rather than buy them unless they’re big studio productions....

On October 23, 2020, the former MTV VJ heard from Sean Baker, a director he did not know, who wanted Rex to send in an iPhone audition for the lead role in his upcoming movie. Baker was ready to shoot “Red Rocket” (December 10, A24), his follow-up to “The Florida Project” (which landed a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Willem Dafoe), and wanted Rex to read for down-on-his-luck porn star Mikey Saber....

Billie Eilish has been announced as a special guest star of the upcoming “The Nightmare Before Christmas Live Concert Experience.” The shows will take place on October 29 and October 31 at the Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles. The 19-year-old Grammy winning recording artist will perform “Sally’s Song,” Billboard reports. Eilish will be joined by Danny Elfman, who voiced all of the movie’s singing parts for Jack Skellington, and will reprise his role for the live production....

Each episode takes a cue from its title, promising the viewer a better understanding of how to tackle a particular task. These range from having a bit of small talk to covering furniture to improving memory. All of these journeys are pieced together from Wilson’s home videos and excursions into various parts of New York. They begin from a humble starting point, branching out further and further as Wilson interviews experts and passersby, trying to get at some deeper understanding buried in each episode’s premise....

The program will open with Netflix’s “Descendant,” a film produced by the Obamas’ company Higher Ground Productions. The documentary sees director Margaret Brown return to her hometown of Mobile, Alabama to document the search for The Clotilda, the last known ship to arrive in the United States, illegally carrying enslaved Africans, and the ramifications its discovery has on the community. What will follow is a showcase of 43 feature-length documentary films that are eligible for consideration for the upcoming Academy Awards; 20 films will be screened both in-person and online, and 35 will be available for virtual viewing only....

Here’s the synopsis from HBO: “‘In the Same Breath’ recounts the experiences of people on the ground in the earliest days of the novel coronavirus and the way two countries dealt with its initial spread, from the first days of the outbreak in Wuhan to its rampage across the United States. Directed with a deeply personal approach by Wang, who was born in China and now lives in the United States, the film explores the early confusion and parallel campaigns by authorities to try to contain the virus as well as shape the public narrative through misinformation, resulting in a devastating impact on citizens of both countries....

Transplanting his dazzling showmanship as the proudly out frontman of Brit pop group Years & Years to the decidedly more modest stage of the small screen, Olly Alexander brings an infectious energy and enthusiasm to the role of Ritchie Tozer. A wiry teen all but bursting out of the closet, Ritchie dreams of more than a quaint life on the Isle of Wright with his out-of-touch mum and dad. So he flees to London to study drama, where he sparks an instant connection with Jill Baxter (Lydia West), a fellow aspiring thespian who at first serves as the “bisexual” Ritchie’s beard before introducing him to the tall drink of water Ash (Nathaniel Curtis) at a local pub bubbling with queer kids....

“I think it was Truffaut who said that our current films are always working against the previous films we’ve made,” Audiard said in a recent interview with IndieWire. “I’m not sure I agree with that.” Earlier this year, Audiard went to Mexico to scout for “Emilia Perez,” a Spanish-language musical-comedy written with French singer-songwriter Camille about a drug mule who changes their gender. That may sound like a big gamble for the director of muscular redemption stories like “A Prophet,” “Rust and Bone,” and “Dheepan....
