Over the last half-decade, Laura Linney's character, Wendy Byrde, has undergone quite a journey on Netflix's "Ozark." When the show first launched in 2017, it was anchored more to the perspective of Wendy's husband, Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman), as he cast off his civilian life as a mild-mannered financial advisor and uprooted his family from Chicago to launder money for a Mexican drug cartel in Missouri. Comparisons between "Ozark" and "Breaking Bad" abounded, which initially seemed to leave Linney in the unenviable position of playing second fiddle to Marty as the mere "wife" in a show that was framed more from a male, "Walter White Collar" perspective.

The family of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins has demanded that the Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office retract the trove of video footage it released showing the aftermath of the on-set shooting, saying it violated their right to decide what’s made public.

Hours of bodycam footage released Monday show multiple scenarios from the chaotic aftermath, including paramedics working on Hutchins as she lay dying from a gunshot wound.

The lawyer representing Hutchins’ husband and son, Brian Parish, said in a letter sent to the sheriff that the video violated their rights, calling for the Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office to retract it.

“The first time Mr. Hutchins saw the disturbing and unsettling video footage of his dying wife lying on the church floor was on Radar Online, an internet website,” Panish said in the letter, which was obtained Thursday by TheWrap.

He continued: “The potential consequences are disturbing given how...

Ukrainian media companies have launched a 20M fund to help sustain the embattled nation’s ailing TV industry and are seeking investment from the biggest global networks and streamers.

Kateryna Vyshnevska, a leading industry exec who oversees co-productions for Film.UA, told Deadline she has briefed major content associations with plans including NATPE, Mip TV and the European Broadcasting Union, and she is now heading out on a funding drive.

The plan is to have global behemoths such a the BBC, Netflix and Disney put money into the fund, for which Vyshnevska has set a 20M target, which will be used to pre-buy or co-produce Ukrainian content early in the production process so that these shows can be sustained and make it to greenlight and beyond before being sold around the world, showcasing the best of Ukrainian TV.

Exclusive: Neve Campbell has inked with new representation including The Gersh Agency, Anonymous Content for Management and attorneys Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole.

The news comes in the wake of Campbell’s success with Paramount/Spyglass Media’s relaunch of Scream, one of the bright spots at the box office, grossing over $135M WW to date and sending the five-picture genre franchise’s tally to $739M-plus.

Upcoming, the Party of Five vet will star in the Netflix drama series The Lincoln Lawyer which is based on Michael Connelly’s second book, The Brass Verdict, in the legal thriller novel series.

In 2020, Campbell starred in the Disney+ film Clouds in which she plays Laura Sobiech, the author whose memoir Fly A Little Higher: How God Answered a Mom’s Small Prayer in a Big Way the film is based on. Campbell was also seen opposite Steve Coogan in Hot Air and...

Jeff Zucker’s abrupt exit from his role as CNN president on Wednesday is the result of a high-stakes game of grudges among media power players, including ousted network anchor Chris Cuomo and WarnerMedia chief Jason Kilar, multiple media insiders have told TheWrap. “This is Chris Cuomo’s revenge, and it worked,” one media veteran told TheWrap. “It was done deliberately.” While the gossip mill is churning around whether Cuomo planted a story about Zucker’s romantic relationship with CNN chief marketing officer Allison Gollust in Radar last month, Zucker himself said Wednesday that the information came out because of an investigation into Cuomo over his ouster in December and a dispute over an $18 million payout to the fired anchor. “As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague,” Zucker said in his statement. “I acknowledged...

Get in touch to send in cinephile news and discoveries. For daily updates follow us @NotebookMUBI.NEWSWerner Herzog is set to publish his first novel, a semi-fictional retelling of the story of Hiroo Onda. A friend of Herzog, Onda is a former Japanese soldier known for spending 29 years in the jungle on an island in the Philippines, refusing to surrender at the end of World War II. Penguin Random House states that the novel is written in "an inimitable, hypnotic style—part documentary, part poem, and part dream." Following his erotic nunsploitation film Benedetta, Paul Verhoeven is making the erotic political thriller Young Sinner. The film, according to Verhoeven and RoboCop co-writer Edward Neumeier, will take place in Washington DC and focus on a young staffer "drawn into a web of international intrigue and danger." As this is a Verhoeven film, Neumeir promises that there will be "also be a little sex.

If 2021 has been a calvacade of bad decisions, dashed hopes, and warning signs for cinema’s strength, the Criterion Channel’s monthly programming has at least buttressed our hopes for something like a better tomorrow. Anyway. The Channel will let us ride out distended (holi)days in the family home with an extensive Alfred Hitchcock series to bring the family together—from the established Rear Window and Vertigo to the (let’s just guess) lesser-seen Downhill and Young and Innocent—Johnnie To’s Throw Down and Orson Welles’ The Magnificent Ambersons in their Criterion editions, and some streaming premieres: Ste. Anne, Lydia Lunch: The War is Never Over, and The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love.

Music is a universal language. You don’t have to understand the lyrics to feel the joys, the heartbreaks, and the frustrations expressed in a melody. You don’t have to pinpoint musical styles to feel the nostalgia a beat can invoke. For the likes of Bratty in Mexico to Anatomy Rabbit in Thailand, the gentle exploration of love is a palpable and common through line. For Sleepy Hallow in Brooklyn and PinkPantheress in the UK, their nods to ’90s production and expansion of classic international genres, respectively, both hold...

“Radar2021,” Telemundo’s English-language news and commentary YouTube series hosted and executive produced by Gabriela Fresquez and Grace González respectively, is back for a new season with an episode dropping on Thursday at 5 p.m. Et and every Thursday thereafter.

Launched last October as part of Telemundo’s “Decision 2020” initiative, a nonpartisan civic engagement effort aimed at providing Latinos with comprehensive information and resources on the 2020 election, and supported by the Google News Initiative, “Radar2021” explores politics and culture for a bicultural and bilingual Latinx audience. The show, which labels itself as “not your abuela’s show” on its Twitter profile, has thus far delved into the use of the term Latinx, queer Latinx identity, racism and colorism in the Latino community, among other issues — usually with a conversational and sometimes irreverent tone in a blend of reporting and documentary-style stories. Though still small in subscribership, the digital show is...

Old director has an idea for a sequel to his most recent twisted thriller...though he isn't sure if he ever wants to actually make it. The divisive director discussed the idea of a sequel to Old, revealing that, while he does know what he would do with a return, he's ready to move onto something new. At least, for now.

"You know me, I'm the opposite of franchise. The excitement is to do something original. However, I did think of another idea. I said to the guy at my work, 'I just thought of another thing' [but] we're never going to do that. Let's just move on to the other movies."

Inspired by the French graphic novel Sandcastle by, Pierre Oscar Levy and artist Frederik Peeters, Old begins with a family on a tropical vacation on a perfect beach day, or so they thought. The family, who are joined by several others,...

The path to global music stardom used to be pockmarked with potholes. Artists would have to scratch out regular radio play in their home countries before having a shot at international recognition, and even then, finding your way into the ears of fans from Argentina to Zambia wasn’t a guarantee. You needed to be discovered, and that wasn’t always easy.

Spotify’s Radar program is changing all that. The streaming service’s international emerging artist program aims to introduce a global community of fans to breakout artists that...

One of the fascinating things about the modern-day music industry is that an artist in one small corner of the world can find global success overnight. When it comes to music discovery, curation is crucial, and platforms like Spotify’s international emerging artist program, Radar, keep eager fans plugged into what’s hot and who’s up next in every genre around the world.

For Australian native, The Kid Laroi, his pop-rock hit “Without You,” remixed with a guest appearance from Miley Cyrus, underscores why he’s a major streaming success right now.

Following Johnny Depp's departure from the role of Gellert Grindelwald in the upcoming Fantastic Beasts 3, many questions remain over how exactly Mads Mikkelsen will be brought in to replace him. Currently, audiences have no idea how exactly the changeover will work. Will Depp transform in Mikkelsen Doctor Who style? Or will Grindelwald now just look like Mikkelsen with zero explanation? Well, while praising the Fantastic Beasts 3 script, Mikkelsen revealed that the villain won't be in the movie as much as fans are likely expecting.

"We've wrapped it up. Obviously I have only been part of it for half the time that the rest of the gang has. It was a lovely experience. I think they had a really great script; a great, solid story. So, if that is anything to measure on, I think the film will be... you know, as magical as it has to be, with all the wonderful creatures,...

Back in 2018, celebrated MCU filmmaker James Gunn was unceremoniously fired from the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise by Disney, due to some recently unearthed controversial tweets Gunn had made years ago. You might think the firing would have resulted in a period of uncertainty regarding his career, but Gunn revealed in an interview that he barely had time to focus on the firing before Warner Bros. swooped in with an offer for him to join the Dceu.

"Warner came a-calling pretty immediately upon the news. I think everything kind of went down [with Disney] on like a Friday, and I think by Monday, Warners were trying to get a hold of me to talk to me about Superman and a bunch of other stuff. But it took me a little while to decide what I was going to do - I really just needed to take care of myself from an emotional and spiritual place.

Zack Snyder says Justice League was supposed to be the first of a trilogy, as the director had hoped at the time that the movie would launch a new franchise similar to The Lord of the Rings. This month, the four-hour cut dubbed Zack Snyder's Justice League will premiere on HBO Max. It's the end result of a popular fan campaign for Warner Bros. to #ReleaseTheSnyderCut.

Speaking about the new movie in the latest issue of Total Film, Zack Snyder addressed how his Justice League relates to the other movies in the Dceu. The filmmaker clarifies that he sees the four-hour cut as a story that stands on its own - not necessarily sharing the same universe as Wonder Woman and Aquaman, despite featuring some of the same characters.

"In a lot of ways, I view this movie on its own. I love [Wonder Woman director] Patty [Jenkins] and I think she's done an amazing job,...

Directors Joe Dante (1984’s Gremlins) and Allan Arkush (1979’s Rock ‘n’ Roll High School) cut their teeth in Hollywood putting together trailers for Roger Corman films in the early 1970s and got the idea to make their own film by piecing together stock footage from other Corman pics and shooting a story around the clips. Armed with $55,000 from Mr. Corman, Hollywood Boulevard is the result. Released in 1976 on a smattering of screens, Hollywood Boulevard is a charming and entertaining send-up of Hollywood filmmaking which stars the incomparable (and sadly, the late) Candice Rialson as Candy Wednesday, a fresh-off-the-bus naïve blonde who, at the ripe old age of twenty-four, wants to be an actress and walks straight into the office of agent Walter Paisley (Dick Miller). His advice to just go out and walk the streets and be seen is taken quite literally, and she finds herself suckered...

Happy 9oth Birthday to a legend! Roger Corman has directed more than 50 low-budget drive-in classics, produced and/or distributed 450 more, and helped the careers of hundreds of young people breaking into the industry. A partial list: Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Irvin Kershner, Monte Hellman, Peter Bogdanovich, Gail Ann Hurd, James Cameron, Jonathan Kaplan, Joe Dante, Robert Towne. Considering Corman’s own films, Jonathan Demme has stated. “Roger is arguably the greatest independent filmmaker the American film industry has seen and probably ever will see.” And he’s still going strong, currently producing the upcoming actioner Death Race 2050. We Are Movie Geeks has taken a look at Corman’s career and here are what we think are the ten best films that he has directed:

Honorable Mention. The Premature Burial

The Premature Burial (1962) is the ‘odd man out’ among the...

Though producer Roger Corman’s contributions to independent cinema are arguably unparalleled, the enduring quality of his directorial efforts is another story. By the end of the 1950s, Corman had directed about two dozen of his own films in roughly five years, many of these derivative genre efforts rivaling the quality of Ed Wood. But 1959 found Corman trying to switch things up a bit, and he delivered two of his more flavorful works. Besides unleashing the Susan Cabot headliner The Wasp Woman (which remains a fun, eccentric commentary on feminine standards of beauty), Corman would skewer the pretentiousness of self-important artists and the hypocrisy of what defines art in A Bucket of Blood, a much more salacious title than the material warrants. Written by Charles B. Griffith, (who would go uncredited next to Corman on his The Little Shop of Horrors a year later), the film is an early lead...

Impeach My Bush: Menon’s Debut a Spirited Period Road Trip

Exploring a provocative dark chapter in the voting tendencies of the United States general public by revisiting the 2004 presidential elections, where incumbent George W. Bush defeated Senator John Kerry for a second term, director Meera Menon’s debut, Farah Goes Bang is clearly not meant to appease denizens of those red states. Instead, it perhaps recalls a distinct moment in time for those that valiantly fought against a tide of regression to support an unlikely candidate, as seen through the eyes of a woman of Iranian heritage on a spirited road trip to garner last minute votes in the swing state of Ohio. Much more than a mere political statement, Menon crafts a low-key character arc around an impressionable two week period that feels much less detrimental in retrospect.

Three friends drop what they’re doing to go on...

Currently in set up mode with her sophomore feature, after having premiered at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival and winning the inaugural Nora Ephron Award, Meera Menon’s Farah Goes Bang finally drops on iTunes and VOD next week (April 10th). Set during the pre 2014 United States presidential election era, Nikohl Boosheri (of Maryam Keshavarz’s Circumstance fame) stars in the titular role of Farah. In the exclusive clip below, she meets an enlightened Walter (Lyman Ward) who offers philosophical front porch insight on family, lineage and hope.

Written by Dana Olsen (Going Berserk) and directed by Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Howling), The ‘Burbs is a comedy-horror hybrid that, for me, was a staple film of my childhood, a movie I was probably too young to be watching, yet couldn’t get enough of. I was very excited to hear that Arrow, a company I am a fan of, were bringing out The ‘Burbs on Blu-ray, for the first time in the UK, with a director’s cut, and a smorgasbord of extras.

A stellar cast, featuring heavyweight acting talent like Tom Hanks, Bruce Dern, Carrie Fisher, Corey Feldman and Henry Gibson, this is a beautifully dark, hilarious and addictive film that deals with themes like cannibalism,...

Here’s another gem from the Tfh Vault. From September 27, 2007, it’s Allan Arkush on Bucket of Blood.

“Life is an obscure hobo, bumming a ride on the omnibus of art.” The wit and wisdom of writer Charles B. Griffith, Roger Corman’s hipper-than-thou alter-ego, is in even fuller flower here than in his classic followup, “Little Shop of Horrors”, aided immeasurably by Dick Miller’s indelible performance as psychotic busboy Walter Paisley.

A talentless would-be artist finds sudden success after accidentally covering his landlady's cat in clay - and wants more.

What do you want to be when you grow up? Many people have dreams that outstrip their abilities. Walter (Dick Miller) wants to be an artist. He hangs out in a popular beatnik café. He works hard to ingratiate himself with all the right people. But somehow it just doesn't happen - perhaps due to his complete lack of talent. Though he whines, he seems like a nice guy and we can empathise with his plight. But when he accidentally covers his landlady's cat in clay,...

Celebrated producer and director Roger Corman will be in St. Louis this weekend to help kick off the Vincentennial Vincent Price Film Festival. We Are Movie Geeks has decided to take a look at the directing career of the man known as .King of the B.s’, a Hollywood legend who.s discovered so much talent and gave so many future directors and actors their starts, that he has to be considered a one-man movie industry. Since we just posted the Top Ten Best of Vincent Price last week and included three of the eight Corman/Price collaborations in that list, we decided to leave off the films he made with Price this week and focus on other films that he directed. Roger Corman will be at the Hi-Pointe Theater at 1005 McCausland Ave. in St. Louis on Saturday May 21 to speak...

Actor and author Chris Lemmon.

Chris Lemmon Sheds Light On Jack Lemmon: The Man Behind The Magic

By

Alex Simon

Contrary to popular belief, not all movie stars’ offspring had dysfunctional lives filled with drug abuse, domestic violence and self-destruction. Some children of stars have even gone on to live “normal” lives outside of La-la land, and hold their famous parents in high esteem. Take the case of Chris Lemmon. Born June 22, 1954 in L.A., Chris is the son of two-time Oscar winning actor Jack Lemmon and actress Cynthia Stone. Although his parents divorced when he was young, Chris remained close to both throughout their lives and penned a tribute to his father, (who passed in 2001) called A Twist of Lemmon in 2006, published by Algonquin Books.

A successful actor in his own right and a graduate of Cal Arts, Chris Lemmon most recently has collaborated with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment...
