Carl Goodman is making his exit from Museum of the Moving Image — the New York cultural institution where he’s spent 34 years, most recently as Executive Director. Goodman will step down from his post on March 3, then going on to assume the role of President and CEO of The Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg. MoMI’s Board of Trustees, led by Co-Chairs Ivan Lustig and Michael Barker, has formed a committee to begin the search for his replacement. Goodman joined the Museum as an educator in 1989 and served in capacities including Curator of Digital Media and Senior Deputy Director before his appointment as Executive Director in 2011.

MoMi has also, under his leadership, secured millions in funding from government and individuals for capital projects. Most recently, with the support of New York State Senate Deputy Leader Michael … [Read more...] about Carl Goodman Departing As Museum Of The Moving Image’s Executive Director After 34 Years With NY Institution

The WGA is gearing up for upcoming contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers, arguably its most important in over a decade. This has prompted a group of top writers to look back at the lessons learned from the 2007-08 writers’ strike to see what can be applied to this year’s talks.

Historically, The WGA Is Overdue For A Strike, With Residuals Again A Key Issue Of Upcoming Talks
Disputes over residuals that flow from new revenue streams have been at the center of every major film and TV strike in Hollywood’s history. And as the WGA , SAG-AFTRA and the DGA all preparing for contract talks early in 2023 with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers, residuals could again be the flashpoint for the first industry-wide strike in 15 years. With inflation at over 7% this year, raising minimum pay rates also is expected to be a major issue for all three guilds. The WGA West, for instance, saw significant declines in total earnings for film and TV writers in 2020 and 2021, in part due to smaller episode orders and ubiquitous mini writers rooms, so the usual 3% annual pay hikes may not cut it this time. The WGA’s current contract expires May 1, and the DGA and SAG-AFTRA contracts both expire June 30, and all three guilds have said they want more streaming residuals and higher minimum pay rates for their members. And though strike … [Read more...] about Historically, The WGA Is Overdue For A Strike, With Residuals Again A Key Issue Of Upcoming Talks
‘Till’ Star Tosin Cole: From Larking About In The ‘House Party’ Reboot To Portraying A Civil Rights Legend
Tosin Cole was larking about on the set of the Warner Bros House Party reboot in Los Angeles when an email dropped from casting director Kim Coleman ( BlacKkKlansman ) about Emmett Till ’s story. “I was like, ‘I’m filming for months non stop, I want to go home,’ ” he recalls thinking. “They wanted me to go for Medgar Evers , and I was like, ‘I don’t know who that is. Let me think about it.’ “ His agent brought him up short telling him, “No, you got to do it. At least send a tape.” “I was like, ‘I’m doing night shifts in LA. I don’t know when I’ll have time,’ ” he worried. That’s when Barbara Broccoli, an executive producer of UAR’s Till , zinged him a message saying, “We’d love to have you on board, if you can.” That missive sharpened Cole’s mind. Besides overseeing the James Bond universe with Michael G. Wilson, Broccoli’s active in theater and independent film production.

Alec Baldwin to Be Charged with Involuntary Manslaughter in Fatal ‘Rust’ Shooting
TMZ.com UPDATE 10:17 AM PT -- Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies says Alec Baldwin is being charged as both an actor and a producer on the movie ... she says he pulled the trigger as the actor, and had a duty to make sure the set was safe as a producer. UPDATE UPDATE The D.A. says Alec definitely pulled the trigger, despite what he says, because she trusts the FBI's analysis ... and she says one of the reasons the investigation took so long was because prosecutors were waiting to see what the FBI concluded about the gun. UPDATE 8:48 AM PT -- Alec Baldwin's attorney, Luke Nikas , released a statement saying, "This decision distorts Halyna Hutchins’ tragic death and represents a terrible miscarriage of justice. Mr. Baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun – or anywhere on the movie set. He relied on the professionals with whom he worked, who assured him the gun did not have live rounds. We will … [Read more...] about Alec Baldwin to Be Charged with Involuntary Manslaughter in Fatal ‘Rust’ Shooting
Laura Luhn Files New Lawsuit Against Fox News Claiming Sexual Abuse, Blackmail By Roger Ailes
UPDATED: Laura Luhn , a former executive at Fox News , filed a new lawsuit against the network and its then-parent company over claims that ex-network head Roger Ailes abused her and attempted to blackmail her. The lawsuit also names Bill Shine, the former co-president of Fox News. In the filing in the New York Supreme Court, Luhn claimed that Ailes, who died in 2017, used his position to trap her in a “decades-long cycle of sexual abuse.” “To ensure her compliance and public silence, Ailes photographed and videotaped Luhn in compromising positions—blackmail material that he explicitly described as his ‘insurance policy’—and made clear to Luhn that any attempt to speak out or stop the abuse would result in severe personal humiliation and career ruin,” the suit claims. The lawsuit claims that Fox’s corporate leadership, at the network and parent company, knew of Ailes’ conduct “yet did nothing to stop it.” Luhn filed her lawsuit under the state’s Adult … [Read more...] about Laura Luhn Files New Lawsuit Against Fox News Claiming Sexual Abuse, Blackmail By Roger Ailes
