Ask production designer Maria Djurkovic how she researched period-accurate sets for the late 1970s-set espionage miniseries “The Little Drummer Girl,” which airs on AMC, and she answers: books, the internet, some personal experience. But then she brings up her secret weapon: Philip Clark.
“Phil is something like a detective,” she says. “He can respond to a very specific brief, and my inbox will soon be filled with thousands of images that are appropriate. He has a skill of tracking everything down.”
It may take a village to shoot a TV series, but historically based shows such as “Drummer Girl,” Starz’s “The Spanish Princess,” FX’s “Fosse/Verdon,” History’s “Vikings,” Amazon’s “The Man in the High Castle” and PBS Masterpiece’s “Victoria” rarely get very far without some added know-how.
It’s these outside experts who make the shows historically believable. But even though their work is invaluable, their...

Brianna has arguably the best and worst days of her life, and both happen in the same 24-hour period, in this week’s Outlander.
“Wilmington” is a heartbreaking hour that finds Bree reunited with Roger — albeit briefly — and then mercilessly raped by Stephen Bonnet, who formally tosses his hat into the running for the BlackJack Randall A-Hole of the Year Award.

If you've read Diana Gabaldon's fourth book, Drums of Autumn, you know there are some great moments headed our way. But even if you're in the dark about what's to come, there's a lot to be excited about.
Here are our top twelve picks to get you hyped for Outlander Season 4.
1. Aunt Jocasta Jocasta (Maria Kennedy Doyle) may have never met her sister's son, but that doesn't mean she won't greet him with open arms. Like all the MacKenzies, though, she has her own agenda for Jamie's future. Maria Kennedy Doyle is a perfect fit for the role. She has a history of playing independent women and with wearing corseted gowns. 2. Captain Bonnet Ed Speelers joins the cast as Captain Stephen Bonnet. He just keeps turning up like a bad penny, interacting with all of our main characters at one point or another. Speelers...

Season three of “Outlander” may have been torture for its fans since it separated soulmates Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe) for the first six episodes. However, their separation has improved the show’s Emmy prospects. It is the front-runner to win Best Period Costumes for designer Terry Dresbach, who previously won an Emmy in 2004 for costuming the HBO series “Carnivale.”
“Outlander” has scored three Emmy nominations to date. For its inaugural season it contended for Best Music Composition (for the episode “Sassenach”) in 2015. And for its second season it received a pair of bids in 2016: Best Period/Fantasy Costumes (for the episode “Not in Scotland Anymore”) and Best Period Production Design.
While it didn’t win any of those the show’s prospects, I can think of three good reasons why “Outlander” will win Best Period Costumes.

Droughtlander begins with the airing of the Season 2 finale, “Dragonfly in Amber.” Somehow millions of fans around the world must satisfy their continuing hunger for the Starz adaptation of author Diana Gabaldon’s book series that started with Outlander, first published way back in 1991.
Centering on the love story between 20th century Royal Army nurse Claire Beauchamp Randall Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) and 18th century Scottish Highlander James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser, it encompassed the lead-up and beginning of the 1745 Jacobite Rising which climaxed in the final defeat of the Stewart claim to the British throne at Culloden Moor and the end of the Highland clan culture.
Interjection: Prime Minister David Cameron delayed the premiere of Outlander before the referendum on Scottish independence, so worried was he over its influence.

“The Times They Are a Changin'” pretty well sums up this year’s Emmy craft contenders for production and costume design. The series all deal with social, political and cultural upheaval, which provided creative opportunities in designing and dressing characters on the cusp of change.
Production Design
In the race for production design (fantasy or contemporary), Amazon’s adaptation of Philip K.Dick’s “The Man in the High Castle” is building buzz for its retro-future vision, in which the Nazis and Japanese won World War II.
For production designer Drew Boughton, that meant three distinct looks for New York City (run by the Nazis), San Francisco (occupied by the Japanese) and Canon City, Colorado (the neutral zone). New York offered an austere, concrete, gray vibe reminiscent of the Eastern block, San Francisco went more wood and aqua blue and Canon City was rural, like a Western.

There’s good reason newcomers “The People v. O.J. Simpson,” “Mr. Robot” and “The Man in the High Castle” distinguished themselves with Emmy craft noms: they brought authenticity to stories that tap into the racial divisiveness, violence and alienation that are weighing heavily on our minds this Presidential election season. And riding the surge of female empowerment, impeccably produced “Outlander” and “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” also landed craft recognition.
FX’s “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story” grabbed 22 noms (including cinematography, costumes, makeup and editing), second only to Emmy leader “Game of Thrones” with 23. What they achieved with recreating “the trial of the century” in the ’90s was bringing it eerily full-circle today.
Verisimilitude, of course, was crucial. For cinematographer Nelson Cragg, the Bundy Drive crime scene where Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered provided one challenge. Since the Brentwood condo no longer exits, they had to...

The scenes set in Outlander‘s grimy, emotionally gutted Jacobite army encampment in last Saturday’s episode drove home an important visual point: Paris, with all of its stunning silks and satins, is very far away indeed.
Much has been made of the dazzling looks — particularly that showstopper of a red dress — that series costume designer Terry Dresbach and her team put together for the Frasers’ sojourn in France. But equally important (and just as stringently researched) are the clothes that Claire, Jamie and the rest of the cast wear at the season’s end in Scotland.

Ronald D. Moore envisioned a season of premium television, broken into one-hour segments, as soon as he read Diana Gabaldon’s first book in the historical fantasy romance series “Outlander.” It’s how his mind works. He saw the world, respected Gabaldon’s attention to research and detail — and her ability to write a bodice-ripping romance (more than 25 million copies sold worldwide) that’s packed with unexpected plots twists. Having worked in the “Star Trek” and “Battlestar Galactica” universes, Moore knows how to create a grounded, immersive world with engaging characters who carry you through the narrative. (Eight Season One episodes are on available on Netflix.) “Outlander” may be a fantasy, but it’s believable. And sexy as hell.
We spoke as “Outlander” Season 2 was unspooling on Starz, leaving behind the rugged Scottish highlands for Jacobean intrigue in Versailles. “It was great to do something fresh and completely different,” Moore said.

Last of the Mohicans, by James Feinmore Cooper, is a great American classic. My parents had a Book-of-the-Month copy in their bookcase with illustrations by Newell Wyeth, Andrew’s father, and I first read it at about age 8. Today (Sunday), I watched the 1992 Last of the Mohicans, the one starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeline Stowe, and Wes Studi. Great, great movie, also a favorite of my buddy and fellow columnist Johnny O’s; in fact, it was John and Kim who turned me on to this particular cinema adaption, oh, those so many years ago at their home in Norfolk, Connecticut. I was familiar with the 1936 version, which starred Randolph Scott, Bruce Cabot, and Binnie Barnes, which was pretty good, but director Michael Mann’s adaptation is a gothic work of art, boasting beautiful cinematography and a romantic and haunting soundtrack.

You may have noticed that Outlander looks a little bit different this season, costume-wise. Gone are the darker colors and rougher textures of the Scottish highlands, because now, it's all about detail. For the first half of season two, the cast will be decked out in the finest fashions that the 18th century French court had to offer—except none of the clothes are actually coming from 1700s France. Costume designer Terry Dresbach and her team designed and constructed all of the costumes you'll see on screen, from the coats to the corsets to the intricate bits of embroidery. It was a lot of work, and that fact was not lost on stars Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan. E! News' Kristin Dos...

Paris is for lovers, which makes it the perfect setting for the sophisticated — and ultimately successful — return of Mr. and Mrs. James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser.
Sure, Outlander‘s Claire and Jamie clean up nice in the Starz drama’s second season, which moves the action from the rough highlands of 1700s Scotland to the genteel salons of pre-revolutionary France. But the core of the Frasers’ relationship is a deep passion for one another, expressed lustily and often, and the chemistry between stars Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan only amplifies as Season 2 kicks off.

Fans of Ronald D. Moore's TV series adaptation of Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" novels have been foaming at the mouth in anticipation of that show's second season due to kick off in Spring next year on Starz.
Today, EW has released a new photo of the leads Catriona Balfe and Sam Heughan as WWII English combat nurse Claire Randall and 18th century Scottish clansman Jamie Fraser respectively.
This season is based on the second novel "Dragonfly in Amber" and sees the pair head to the French Royal Court where they become embroiled in the politics of the time as they attempt to thwart the Battle of Culloden.
The show's costume designer Terry Dresbach also spoke with the mag about how the style of the new season differs:
"We figured out recently that we've made over 10,000 items for season 2 and acquired another 5,000 shoes. Knowing that was in front of us.

If only history class looked like Outlander, then we would have done so much better in school. (Although if our professor looked like Sam Heughan, we probably would have failed. Because we'd just be staring at him and daydreaming and generally not paying attention. Can you blame us?!) But when executive producer Ron D. Moore and his wife, Emmy Award-winning costume designer Terry Dresbach, sat down to start creating all of the amazingly authentic looks of Outlander's characters, they had no idea they were in for the lesson of their lives...because what they thought they were going to dress their cast in was actually historically inaccurate! "When Terry started doing research into what they actually wore,...

Good news, "Outlander" fans and TV academy members: You don't need to travel back in time 270 years to see the costumes being entered by Starz for Emmy consideration in 2015. If you live in Los Angeles, you can visit the Grove shopping center where they're on display till May 31 in the Grand Lobby and fountain area. The fine threads created for "The Wedding" episode by designer Terry Dresbach (Emmy winner for HBO's "Carnivale") are being entered in the race for Outstanding Costumes for a Period/Fantasy Series, Limited Series or Movie. Two most notable costumes on display include the resplendent duds worn by both bride Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and groom Jamie (Sam Heughan) in episode 107 when they tied the knot in order to protect her from the fiendish grasp of British military mad dog "Black Jack" Russell. -Break- Claire's wedding dress is richly embroidered with foliage and falling leaves, trimmed with la.

“Outlander” is almost upon us. The hit show returns to Starz on Sunday, April 4th. As the first season continues, Claire and Jamie's relationship will be tested as the 18th century world clashes with Claire’s modern morals. External forces such as redcoats and clan politics will force the newly minted Mr. and Mrs. Fraser to escape to a new home. But more importantly, into new fashion! HitFix Harpy spoke with “Outlander” costume designer Terry Dresbach about Claire’s mix-n-match style, Jamie’s brand-new look, and the serendipity of Geillis’ ruby-red slippers. Image Credit: Starz Hitfix: For the back half of the first season, “Outlander” is getting more female characters. Do they each get their own fashion personality? How do you go about deciding who’s wearing what? Terry Dresbach: Oh, that’s the fun of the characters. I started reading the books when they first came out. I...

Here’s why sci-fi fans have something to look forward to in Ron D. Moore’s Outlander, arriving on Amazon Prime in the UK today…
24 years after publication of Diana Gabaldon’s beloved novel Cross-Stitch/Outlander (depending if you’re in the UK or Us), the first of 8 books in the Outlander series, comes the TV adaptation, which in itself is a project several years in the making. It’s been feverishly anticipated by the book fans, and with Battlestar Galactica mastermind Ronald D. Moore at the helm, it also spiked the interest of many who probably wouldn’t have watched a historical-fantasy-romance under normal circumstances.
Outlander is the story of Claire Randall, a World War II combat nurse who, when on a post war second honeymoon with her husband Frank, is mysteriously flung back in time to Eighteenth Century Scotland, where she finds herself under the protection of clansman...

One of the biggest influences on Outlander's much-anticipated wedding-night episode was an actual marriage: the one between showrunner Ronald D. Moore and the Starz drama's costume designer Terry Dresbach. Not only is their real-life romance echoed in some of the dialogue, but the structure of the episode was determined in part at Dresbach's suggestion. "I do have a little sway with my husband," she said in a recent interview with Vulture. Dresbach said that she made a few suggestions to her husband "probably when we were sitting in bed" as he started mapping out the episode. "We could start talking at 10 at night," she recalled, "and then by 1 a.m., the lights are out and we might still be arguing, with one of us going, 'No, Jack Randall wouldn't do that!'" For this particular episode, their argument centered on how much non-wedding plot to pack in, because Moore...

'Very Bad' Sets a Nightmare Scenario / Grisly tale of Vegas bachelor party turning to disaster reveals thin plot
By Duane Byrge
TORONTO -- Boys will be boys -- especially in Vegas -- in this acerbic, savage comedy about a bachelor-party weekend that turns into a nightmare. With an appealing and talented cast including Christian Slater and Cameron Diaz, this PolyGram Filmed Entertainment release, playing the Toronto International Film Festival, should draw some initial appeal among males, but its grisly nature will likely turn off mainstreamers. This is a love-it-or-hate-it type of outing.
In this dark escapade, square suburban dude Kyle Fisher (Jon Favreau) is set to marry Laura Diaz), the girl of his dreams, despite her high-maintenance nature. Kyle's favorite bad-apple buddy, Boyd (Slater), arranges one last bash in Las Vegas for his bashful pal, including, of course, a stripper who supplements her earnings with other talents. These middle-class squares head from their suburban Southern California neighborhood for a wild weekend on the Strip. Things get quickly rowdy and out of control, and in a delirious fit of passion, Kyle accidentally impales the stripper on a bathroom fixture. Good-boy Kyle has just killed a young woman. But for bad-boy Boyd, it's a simple question of situational ethics: Bury the stripper in the desert. Why should they ruin their lives for one crazy action? He convinces them of this wisdom.
Essentially, you've got "Lord of the Flies" hurled into "Animal House". Screenwriter-director Peter Berg undeniably fires off some lethal and decadently funny salvos, but the plot soon wears thin. It becomes an exercise in ghoulishness as the fellows, owing to their own craziness and sense of doom, escalate the killings, getting in deeper and deeper.
The film's best feature is the choice casting, with Slater shining as the wily leader of this debauchery. Diaz is hilarious as a very anal bride-to-be, and Daniel Stern, with all his twitches and tics, is sympathetic as the guy who is downright paranoid about getting caught. Favreau is also well-chosen, projecting a naivete and weakness intrinsic to the role.
While there are indeed some thoughtful, provocative moral quandaries in Berg's script, the film is played mainly for noisy, low-level farce; after a while, it wears repetitively thin. Praise to the production crew; they've stoked it with some very funny stuff, most prominently costume designer Terry Dresbach's loud outfits, perfect for the raucous mayhem that ensues.
