Exclusive: Kirby Howell-Baptiste (The Sandman), Darrell Britt-Gibson (We Own This City) and Taissa Farmiga (The Gilded Age) will star in the upcoming romance She Taught Love, which music video helmer Nate Edwards is directing for Marginal Mediaworks, in his feature debut.
The film written by Britt-Gibson—in his feature screenwriting debut—is billed as the love story of this generation, between a guy on a self-destructive path and a girl with an expiration date. What a perfect time to meet and fall in love…
Marginal MediaWorks’ founder Sanjay Sharma and Head of Film Milan Chakraborty will produce alongside Hadley Klein and Pete Van Auker, with Britt-Gibson and Howell-Baptiste serving as executive producers.
“Making a film like She Taught Love feels like a revolutionary act, but it shouldn’t. Hollywood loves to turn out stories of Black trauma, but we’re so much more than that. In fact, we are everything,...

“The Oscars need to change their name to the Debbies — as in Debbie Downer. Because judging by this year’s Best Picture nominees, you couldn’t have a worse time at the movies if there was an active shooter in the theater,” fumed Bill Maher Friday. HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher hit all the week’s hot spots, from the trial of George Floyd’s murder, to immigration, voter repression and embattled Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, but he bookended the show with two major California rants — at the recall of Gov. Gavin Newson and what he called the literally sad state of Hollywood movies. On Newsom: “We’ve got to stop. We should not be recalling this governor. It’s one of those stupid things California does. It’s going to be a circus. Every unemployed actor in the state is gong to be running. Caitlyn Jenner is running!

At the Oscars, there is no such thing as a lock. Remember “La La Land”? However, the closest thing we have to a safe bet this year might be Daniel Kaluuya (“Judas and the Black Messiah”) for Best Supporting Actor. The previous nominee for “Get Out” (2017) now plays Fred Hampton, chairman of Chicago’s Black Panther chapter in the 1960s, in Warner Bros’ late-breaking biopic. According to Gold Derby odds, Kaluuya has nearly unanimous support to win the Oscar on April 25. Scroll down to see four reasons why you should probably predict him, too.

All eight Oscar nominees for Best Picture had at least one nomination at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, which were handed out on Sunday night, April 4. So now that we know the results, let’s take a look at who I think was helped and hurt in the Oscar race for Best Picture. Check out the complete list of SAG Award winners here.
Seesag Awards 2021: Clayton Davis, Tariq Khan, Susan King, Claudia Puig, Jazz Tangcay top Experts predicting film winners Up
“The Trial of the Chicago 7” — It won the top award for its ensemble cast. That’s not necessarily a sign of how the Oscars will go — only 12 of the last 25 SAG ensemble winners matched the Oscar champ for Best Picture. But after losses at the Golden Globe, Critics Choice, Writers Guild and Producers Guild Awards, this was an important feather in “Trial’s” cap. And the SAG...

Fox has given a script commitment plus penalty to Move, a one-hour dance drama from Ugly Betty creator Silvio Horta, Mary J. Blige and Gail Berman’s The Jackal Group.
Written by Horta, Move is inspired by the life of famed choreographer and creative director Laurieann Gibson. Move is a music-fueled dramedy that follows an accomplished choreographer who, in order to redeem her damaged reputation in the cutthroat music/dance world, sets her sights on creating a flawless tour for a diva pop singer. To get the coveted gig, though, she’ll have to fend off competition from her arch rival…who happens to be her former assistant. At the same time, she must act as mother hen to her talented, but often difficult, team of dancers who depend on her.
Horta executive produces with Blige, Gibson, and Jackal Group’s Berman and Joe Earley. The Jackal Group is producing.

Mary J. Blige and “Ugly Betty” co-creator Silvio Horta are bringing the story of dancing queen Laurieann Gibson to the small screen — or at least a story inspired by her life.
Fox has given a script plus penalty commitment to “Move,” a one-hour dramedy about an accomplished choreographer, not unlike Gibson.
Here’s the project’s official logline: Inspired by the life of famed choreographer and creative director Laurieann Gibson, “Move” is a music-fueled dramedy that follows an accomplished choreographer who, in order to redeem her damaged reputation in the cutthroat music/dance world, sets her sights on creating a flawless tour for a diva pop singer.

NBC’s live production of “Jesus Christ Superstar” broadcast on Easter Sunday, April 1, to excellent reviews (with a current MetaCritic score of 81). In recent years these live theatrical shows have become more popular on broadcast TV, and a few of them have gone on to win Emmys, like Fox’s “Grease Live” and NBC’s own “Hairspray.” But they haven’t broken through in movie/limited series acting categories yet. That could change this year with standout performers Sara Bareilles, Brandon Victor Dixon and Alice Cooper entering wide-open supporting races.
It’s true that John Legend could be nominated for and win Best Movie/Mini Actor for his leading role as Jesus, and he would gain Egot status in the process, but that race is stacked with admired A-list actors like Al Pacino (“Paterno”), Kyle MacLachlan (“Twin Peaks”), Benedict Cumberbatch (“Patrick Melrose” and “The Child in Time“), Antonio Banderas (“Genius:...

Tim Matheson is turning his work as a television director and producer into a full-time job. The actor, who has been active as a director in television during the past few years, has joined the CBS/Warner Bros. TV drama series Cold Case as a producer. He also is set to direct multiple episodes during the police drama's upcoming sophomore season. Matheson directed one episode of the Jerry Bruckheimer TV-produced Cold Case last season, when the show established itself as a solid performer for CBS in the Sunday 8 p.m. time slot. Matheson previously directed episodes of another Jerry Bruckheimer TV/WBTV procedural drama for CBS, Without a Trace, as well as episodes of NBC's Third Watch and Ed and telefilms In the Company of Spies and Buried Alive 2. Onscreen, Matheson was most recently seen on NBC's The West Wing, in which he had a recurring role as vice president John Hoynes. He also co-starred last season in the ABC telefilm Judas. Matheson is repped by Beth Cannon at Invision Entertainment.

Monday wasn't much of a night for disciples or angels in primetime. ABC had little pull with its long-awaited Biblical telefilm Judas, nor did NBC generate much heat with its campy Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Charlie's Angels. In fact, it was repeats that carried the night for CBS in both total viewers (13.9 million) and the adults 18-49 demographic (4.9 rating/13 share), according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research. ABC's 9-11 p.m. airing of Judas, starring Jonathan Scarfe in the story of Jesus' duplicitous disciple, averaged 9.1 million viewers and 2.6/7 in adults 18-49. NBC's Charlie's Angels (7.9 million, 3.6/9) did only a little bit better in the same time slot despite a huge lead-in from the peacock's 8 p.m. Fear Factor (15.2 million, 6.5/18).
