The Forty-Year-Old Version marks musician Benjamin’s acting debut, and he connects with Radha’s journey of being talented and overlooked. “I’ve been in the studio with people who are amazing and no one gives them a chance,” he says, adding that giving people the benefit of the doubt is something seldom practiced in this industry — especially for Black artists. … [Read more...] about ‘The Forty-Year-Old Version’s Radha Blank Says Adversity Pushed Her To Tell Her Story – Contenders Film

Whannell also considered the camera itself to be another character, and he consulted his cinematographer Stefan Duscio even as he was still writing the script about ways to move the camera around as if it had its own mind. “I really think of this as a chamber piece and a collaboration between Stefan and I, and Elisabeth and I as a group effort,” he says. … [Read more...] about Elisabeth Moss And Leigh Whannell Talk Legacy And Muscles Behind ‘The Invisible Man’ – Contenders Film

The cost of a 30-second ad slot during Super Bowl LIV, which saw the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the San Francisco 49ers, was said to run about $5.6 million. Many movies were advertised during the game, with studios hoping to parlay that ad money into box office dollars. And yet, only The Invisible Man, Disney's live-action Mulan, Sonic the Hedgehog and The Spongebob Movie: Sponge on the Run have been released, just shy of a year later. And Spongebob is even kind of a technicality, as the movie debuted on Netflix internationally and in theaters in Canada. It will get a streaming release on CBS All Access, soon to be Paramount+, later this year in the U.S. Bill & Ted Face the Music had a Super Bowl presence with a Walmart commercial and social teaser but no official footage or TV spot was released during the game. … [Read more...] about Only 4 Movies Promoted During Last Year’s Super Bowl Have Been Released

Steve Wiebe: Well, I think just growing up at a - some of the footage showed me and my brother playing football in the backyard so, growing up with my brother, we always competing in basketball and football. So that competitive drive came from there. Donkey Kong was something I picked up in college actually, when I was growing up, I was twelve years old and playing it when it came out. But in college, I got my own machine, had it in my fraternity and there was a group of guys that would always come in there and play. And that's when I got to this kill screen that I didn't know existed 'cause I thought it was a bug, that I just had a bad machine, 'cause it got to this screen and I just died for no reason. So I was always thinking, what's happening. So I played again, got to the kill screen one more time and it did it again. And I was like, I'm done playing this game, I can't get past this screen. So ten years later is where I thought of looking up the record and then I read something … [Read more...] about Steve Wiebe and Ed Cunningham Discuss The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

Could Freaks and Geeks have been a hit if NBC had treated it more enthusiastically? You can see a lot of shared DNA between the series and the movies made by its alums. (Just as you can between The West Wing and many of the popular films written by Sorkin, most obviously The American President.) There are scenes in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Superbad, and Bridesmaids just as uncomfortable to sit through as Nick trying to seduce a displeased Lindsay with the lyrics to Styx’s “Lady,” or Neal responding to his father’s infidelity by throwing himself into ventriloquism. But those movies are much heavier on the comedy, where Freaks and Geeks lingered on its characters’ suffering. (The films are also mostly about adults; it’s much easier to laugh at Steve Carell making a fool of himself than poor Sam walking through school wearing a ridiculous, sky-blue “Parisian night suit” in a misguided attempt to look cool.) Even if NBC’s bosses had … [Read more...] about ‘The West Wing’ vs. ‘Freaks and Geeks’: TV at a Crossroad in 1999
