Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom follows twelve-year-old outsiders Sam and Suzy, as the pair run away together into the wilderness in order to escape the mundane. Featuring Anderson’s signature whimsical themes and strange humour, the film’s soundtrack expertly mirrors the plot, almost transporting the listener into the film and creating a deeply immersive experience.
The two protagonists first meet at a church production of Benjamin Britten’s childrens’ opera Noye’s Fludde, and the music of Britten features prominently throughout the film. The composer’s seminal childrens’ piece entitled ‘A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra’ is also used to great effect, as Suzy’s three younger brothers huddle around their battery-operated record player.
This record player goes on to play a starring role in Sam and Suzy’s adventures, being one of the only material goods which she deems important enough to bring with her on the journey, such is the importance of music in the childrens’ lives.
While classical music surrounds the character of Suzy, Sam is a keen outdoorsman, and as such brings more tribal, western and campfire music to the film soundtrack’s narrative. ‘Camp Ivanhoe Cadence March’ features regimented drums and military precision, and acts as a reminder that the children are alone against the elements.
Of the popular songs and non-original recordings used in the film are several hand-picked gems, which work perfectly with the underlying classical themes and sense of childhood nostalgia that the film creates.
‘Kaw-Liga’, a country song written by the godfathers of the genre Hank Williams and Fred Rose tells the tale of a young American Indian works in harmony with Anderson’s idyllic shots of the New England wilderness, while Francoise Hardy’s haunting French pop song ‘Le Temps De l’Amour’ evokes the childrens’ sense of longing for a more interesting and beautiful life, away from their families and guardians who instil a sense of order.
Moonrise Kingdom is ultimately a story of total escapism and a search for freedom. The soundtrack compliments this message, and plays a vital part in getting across the underlying messages contained within the film.

K-2SO will be portrayed in motion capture by Alan Tudyk!
Did you know that K-2SO will be portrayed in motion capture by Alan Tudyk in the upcoming Star Wars stand-alone film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story? His name was first revealed in a preview of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: The Official Visual Story Guide, though the source listed him as both K-2SO and incorrectly as K-250. Because of this error we first thought that the real name was K-250 and were planning an entire website around the name. Luckily we were notified by a reader of another Star Wars Universe blog, to change to the correct name, just in time to register a new domain name and build this site.
We loved Alan Tudyk in the film Serenity, derived from the cult television series Firefly. His performance in I, Robot as the emotional robot Sonny was exceptional as well! All of us are getting more and more excited to see what unfolds in Rogue One as we write the copy for this site!

New Plant With Purpose Video!
Written by Plant With Purpose on October 5, 2010 in General
Wednesday through Sunday last week the San Diego Film Festival promoted, pitched, plugged, and partnered with Plant With Purpose to make sure all of their film goers knew just who we were! A long time in the making, we are happy to report that this collaboration between the San Diego Film Festival (SDFF) and Plant With Purpose was a huge success! Thousands of people who had never heard of Plant With Purpose, or known about how we empower individuals to support their families and engage in their communities, learned and became excited about the great work being done through all of our international staff.
It was actually impossible for people to come to the film festival and miss learning about Plant With Purpose. When they entered the Gaslamp Theater doors they saw 15 foot trees scattered throughout the lobby, decorated by individual farmers’ testimonies from each of our programs. When they sat down in the theater, the SDFF staff, who was responsible to introduce the films, would plug Plant With Purpose and share how excited they were to be supporting Plant With Purpose and to make sure to stop by and see us in the lobby. Even if a film goer was running a tinge late and rushed past the Plant With Purpose booth in the lobby and managed to miss the introduction, they would settle into their seat to catch the previews and just before their film would start, they would see the Plant With Purpose promo video. This videa is gives a powerful, quick, and effective message about who Plant With Purpose works with and what they can do to help.
I wanted to share the newest version of the Trees Please video that was premiered at the San Diego Film Festival last week. Thousands of people saw it, and not only did they see it once… it was screened before a majority of the films at the festival, so people really got the point! Countless numbers of people stopped by our table to support our work, learn more, or just say thank you. Here’s a look at the newest video!


This spring I am teaching two online classes at Brave Writer, both related to the study of Shakespeare and his works.
The first one, which started April 11 and finishes May 6, is a high school analysis course of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. In this class, students will study Shakespeare and his life and works, the Elizabethan Theatre scene of his time, and Shakespeare’s language before delving into the background sources for Macbeth. Then we’ll read and discuss the play act by act as I provide a summary of each act and discussion questions that will allow the students and I to interact freely as we analyze aspects of the characters, plot, language, and themes. We’ll finish the class by watching a film version of Macbeth and writing an expository analysis of Macbeth; the students will have several essay topics to choose from. I will offer constructive criticism while the students will also interact with one anothers’ posted essays. And all of this online interaction occurs in the safe and brand new Brave Writer Classroom.
The second online course is a Family Shakespeare Workshop. Designed for moms to then teach their kids of differing ages, this class will involve a study of Shakespeare’s life and times, offer a hands-on exploration of the Elizabethan Theatre (specifically the Old Globe), recognize the differences between Shakespeare’s language and our own, and then will cover Shakespeare’s sonnets and some famous scenes and soliloquys from several plays with accompanying discussion and family activities. This class starts May 9 and ends June 3 and also takes place in the new and private Brave Writer Classroom.
So check into one or both of these fun and instructive online courses! It’s spring, and Shakespeare is a-blooming all over!!


Coffee at the cinema? The most beautiful films of all time
29 April 2018
Coffee is culture and this is demonstrated by the fact that cinematography is full of references to the magnificent drink whose origins are mixed between myths and legends.
The classic par excellence is "La banda degli onesti", a 1956 film directed by Camillo Mastrocinque with the mythical couple Totò and Peppino De Filippo. The cult scene is the one in which Totò, playing the part of a porter in a Roman building about to be replaced by an accountant, meets Peppino, a typographer, in a bar, and while they are having a coffee, he tries to explain to him the capitalist system that is leading to his "ruin", through the metaphor of coffee without sugar.
In "Vieni avanti cretino" of 1982, an Italian comedy with Lino Banfi, coffee is ordered in the most disparate and fun ways.
Now let's go over the ocean with "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and the scene in which Audrey Hepburn stops in front of the Tiffany's window with a coffee in her hand. Although she is so elegant and it is early morning in New York and everyone is still asleep, she is not giving up her coffee.
And "Pulp Fiction"? Shall we talk about it? Sensational scene in which Vincent and Jules, stained with blood, argue in Jimmie's kitchen about what to do with a dead body in the garage, while sipping a great coffee. Tarantino, never gets it wrong!
We conclude this short series of films in which the scenes on coffee have become legend, with a film, which already has its essence in the title, we are talking about "Coffee & Cigarettes" of 2003, an independent film, written and directed by Jim Jarmusch, composed of 11 short films, shot in different periods. In short, a real tribute to the ritual of coffee and a cigarette, especially in the short Strano Conoscersi, in which two men, an Italian (Roberto Benigni) and an American (Tom Waits) who apparently do not know each other, sit together in a bar, drinking huge quantities of coffee, talking about nothing in a surreal dialogue, exchanging seats, impressions and opinions on coffee and cigarettes, and finally even their respective dates.


Donald Trump's film music for the 2016 election
The US presidential election 2016 between opponents Clinton and Trump has been all over the news for some time now. After months of fights, scandals and accusations, Donald Trump has been declared the 45th president of the United States two days ago.
Trump vs Copyright
One aspect, generally overlooked by the masses so far has been Trump using film music to solidify his image. Almost all of his entrances to various stages have featured the main theme of the film “Air Force One” as an audio backdrop for the now-president’s appearances on stage. Both the film’s star, Harrison Ford and its producer Gail Katz have asked Trump to stop doing so, as the candidate’s campaign headquarters seems to have failed to ask permission before using copyright-protected material.
“The music for Air Force One was composed and conducted by the legendary Oscar-winning film composer Jerry Goldsmith,” writes Katz in a IMDB lists Jerry Goldsmith as the composer of 150 film scores before his death in 2004. Among them such classics as “Planet of the Apes”(1968), “Chinatown”(1974), “ALIEN”(1979) and five films of the “Star Trek”-franchise. Goldsmith’s agent Richard Kraft said, the composer would have been appalled by Trump’s use of his music.
An alternate filmscore
Lesser known, however, is the fact that Goldsmith was indeed the second composer to tackle the material. Randy Newman, famous composer of such Pixar films as “Toy Story” and “Monsters, Inc.” had already begun composing for the film.
His music was, however, ultimately rejected by the studio and director Wolfgang Petersen, mainly because this was had been Newman’s first large-scale action-score. In an article, published by the LA Times, “Das Boot”-director Petersen is quoted as follows:
"[I thought,] 'Maybe we'll get something that's a little different, more daring.' Finally, it didn't really go together.”
A side-by-side comparison makes it clear how Newman’s music comes largely from the animated genre, while Goldsmith’s music (he had composed “Rambo” and “Patton” among many others) is much more action-oriented.
Jerry Goldsmith's original film-version
The technique Newman uses here is often called mickey-mousing where - like in a Mickey-Mouse cartoon - every action in the film-frame gets an according musical accent.
Obviously, that this can get pretty tiring after a film production of 120 minutes.
The preceding video in which one of our referenz-team has switched the Goldsmith music for the rejected Newman version during Donald Trump’s election speech makes it clear how immense and at the same time subtle the variations between two compositions for the same film can be.
Rejection - film composers have to deal with it
While “Air Force One” certainly benefitted from a change of composer, there are numerous examples throughout film history, where the opposite has been the case.
Alfred Hitchcock has had some of his most brilliant successes while cooperating with his go-to-composer Bernard Herrmann. One will agree, that “Psycho”’s shower scene has become a milestone of film history thanks in large part to Herrmann’s iconical music. The composer is said to have attempted to translate fear and terror into music.
The two however broke up over Herrmann’s composition for Hitchcock’s “Torn Curtain” and were never to work together again. At the same time, Herrmann’s score remains superior to the one that replaced it, composed by John Addison).
While Petersen’s choice apparently worked for “Air Force One”, the director has had bad luck with switching composers at the eleventh hour, as well:
For his historical epic “Troy”, Israeli composer Gabriel Yared had composed a broad and sweeping score over the course of more than a year.
“My overall concept was to create a classic-yet-modern score, epic and yet subtle and emotional.”
The production company, however rejected Yared’s work after a test audience had claimed the music would be "overpowering and too big, old fashioned and dated the film."
As a replacement, “Titanic” composer James Horner was hired to finish the film in only nine days.
The following comparison will hold the opening scene, that introduces the hero Achilles, side by side. One important aspect becomes apparent - the use (or lack) of music: while Horner’s music sets in, as the action begins, Yared’s score sets in much earlier, tying several scenes together emotionally
James Horner's theatrical version
Gabriel Yared's rejected version
Nine days work can hardly match a year’s labor of love. That had also come to the attention of film music fans and so “Troy” quickly became one of the most popular rejected film scores in cinema history.

The local production teams behind hit drama series “Castaway Diva” and the third season of reality s
The local production teams behind hit drama series “Castaway Diva” and the third season of reality show “Unexpected Business" recently issued official apologies for lack of caution while shooting their projects.
Controversy erupted Monday afternoon when a resident of Jeju Island shared that the production team of “Castaway Diva” had left a pile of stones near Hwanguji Coast in Seogwipo, in the south of the island.
The props were used to shoot a scene in which the female lead makes an SOS emergency sign with stones.
The “Castaway Diva” production team admitted its fault and lack of respect for Jeju Island’s nature on Tuesday.
“We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. The team was informed that the drama shooting would take place at areas around the beach. But, we were not careful enough to consider our actions amid and after the shoot. We promise to restore everything in order as soon as possible,” the drama production team said in an apology statement.

A catastrophic event sparks a young Norwegian woman's memories of the five people who loved her most, in the visually stunning feature debut of West Coast musician and filmmaker Andrew Huculiak. The feature debut of Andrew Huculiak (drummer for the West Coast rock band We Are the City) had a unique provenance: intrigued by the films of Norwegian directors like Joachim Trier and Jens Lien, Huculiak shot the film in Norway with his bandmates/collaborators and a skeleton crew, few of whom spoke Norwegian. Violent is the tale of Dagne, a young Norwegian girl who attempts to escape her small-town life. She soon finds herself hanging out with other assorted outcasts, including a comically suicidal young man who hasn't slept in weeks, and the lovelorn owner of the small store where she finds work. An evocative slice of life with a remarkably distinctive tone and a sometimes surreal visual sensibility, Violent establishes Huculiak and company as young filmmakers to watch. http://tiff.net/festivals/ctt14/features/violent

We like to think about our work. Reflect on how we do things. Throughout June we led a workshop on devised theatre at the library@esplanade. It was great to meet and get to work with a really diverse group of people. Some of them were already professionals, some others were drama JC students, and yet some others attending a theatre workshop for the first time.
One of our central interests in doing this workshop was to think through the history of devised theatre. Devising is not a new way of making a play. It has been around for some decades now and it is so very much embedded into our theatre culture that the Ministry of Education (Singapore) contemplates it in its syllabus for extracurricular activities in the primary education sector. Some even say that devising has been around as a strategy for making plays since centuries ago. They argue that it is simply the way theatre is done: A group of people expressing an idea...? Well, yes. That IS how theatre has been made since who knows how many years ago. So what exactly can devising bring into the picture today, now, almost two decades into the XXI century?
We think that devising - as a methodology and as a work ethics - did mean something important when it first appeared. It meant empowering the rehearsal space as a place of authorship and not anymore as a mere place of repetition. We would like to rescue this idea and we would like to add another thought: Devising should not be a pretext for stage bluff. When we devise we should aim to articulate an idea, collectively.
Next week we will be co-leading a one-day workshop at NUS on purpose of the visit of Dr Simon Jones from the University of Bristol. The workshop is only open for graduate students at the Theatre Studies Program there, so we very are sorry that we can't invite you! However, we will be sharing our thoughts on that activity too as it will be a research session on...yes you guessed it right... devising! Our entry question is this: How is meaning made in a devised process? Let's see where that takes us. More soon.
The Art of Strangers


Sucker punches are commonly performed using either a hook -type punch, or a haymaker -type punch, as these are more damaging than straight shots due to the increased distance traveled thus enabling more time for acceleration.
Because sucker punches come unexpectedly, people at risk of such blows must be alert to the proximity of potential opponents. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This article is about the fighting technique. For other uses, see Sucker punch disambiguation. Type of punch. Village Voice. The Daily Telegraph. Retrieved 17 January I think that in some ways, that's what the sucker punch is. But also you, the audience, have like a preconceived idea when you look at Babydoll. You think she's innocent and sweet, that she's capable of only a certain amount of things.
But I think that's a mistake. So that has something to do with the title, too. Andrew O'Hehir, writing in Salon , sees the film's title as its essential theme: . If you want to understand Snyder's central narrative gambit, it's right there in the title. He gives us what we want or what we think we want, or what he thinks we think we want : Absurdly fetishized women in teeny little skirts, gloriously repetitious fight sequences loaded with plot coupons, pseudo-feminist fantasies of escape and revenge.
Then he yanks it all back and stabs us through the eyeball. Snyder has stated one interpretation of the film is that it is a critique of geek culture 's sexism and objectification of women.
Marius de Vries . Music plays an integral role in the film. They used actual songs for Sucker Punch that would create suitable moods. It plays an important factor in the film and is used as it was in Moulin Rouge! He did mention that for the home media release of the film's "director's cut", the dance scenes will be re-inserted. In September , Chung reported that they had begun recording tracks for Sucker Punch. Tyler Bates who composed all of Snyder's previous live-action films and Marius de Vries who composed the score for the film Moulin Rouge!
The album was praised by music and film critics, as were Browning's vocals. The trailer was released on July 27 on Apple Trailers. The film received a PG rating. To avoid an R rating, a scene that implied sex was cut. I think it's great for this young girl to actually take control of her own sexuality. And Zack said he edited it down to the point where it looked like he was taking advantage of her.
That's the only way he could get a PG [rating] and he said, 'I don't want to send that message. In the United Kingdom, the film received a 12A certificate for "moderate violence, threat, language and sexual references". The film was passed with no additional cuts required. Sucker Punch was negatively reviewed by most film critics. Although Snyder had claimed that he wanted the film to "be a cool story and not just like a video game where you're just loose and going nuts",  some critics compared the film unfavorably to a video game in their reviews.
Club ' s Nathan Rabin wrote, "with its quests to retrieve magical totems, clearly demarcated levels, and non-stop action, Snyder's clattering concoction sometimes feels less like a movie than an extended, elaborate trailer for its redundant videogame adaptation. British film critic Mark Kermode described the film as "the most boring, ploddingly put together, infantile, crass, adolescent, stupid, chauvinistic twaddle that I've sat through in a very, very long time.
Legendary Pictures reportedly attributed the movie's failure to become a box office hit to movie audiences not accepting a female action hero.
Not all reviews were negative, however. Keith Uhlich of Time Out New York named Sucker Punch the tenth-best title of "This excessive digi-satire spits in the face of fanboys-'n'-their-franchises.
Sucker Punch also drew criticism for its depiction of women. Several critics described the film as misogynistic and others expressed concern over its treatment of sexual violence.
Though they are given vicious snarls, swords and guns, the leading ladies of Snyder's latest are nothing more than cinematic figures of enslavement given only the most minimal fight. Their rebellion is one of imaginative whimsy in a heavily misogynistic world that is barely questioned or truly challenged.
Petersburg Times critic Steve Persall found that the most offensive fact about the film was that it "suggests that all this objectification of women makes them stronger.
It's supposed to be reassuring that men who beat, berate, molest and kill these women will get what's coming to them. Just wait, Snyder says, but in the meantime here's another femininity insult to keep you occupied.
Scott of The New York Times described the film as a "fantasia of misogyny" that pretends to be a " feminist fable of empowerment" and found that the film's treatment of sexual violence was problematic and believes the target audience as a whole is in favour of it. Writing in a separate piece for The A. Club months after giving the film a "C-" grade, Nathan Rabin concluded, "Depending on whom you ask, Snyder set out to make either the ultimate sexist masturbatory fanboy fantasy or the ultimate critique of sexist masturbatory fanboy fantasies.
He failed spectacularly on both counts, but in true Fiasco form, there's something fascinating and even strangely majestic about that failure. Scott Mendelsohn of The Huffington Post called the film a "bitterly sad and angrily feminist mini-epic", and said that while it presents scenes of "matter-of-fact lechery from men towards women that is an accepted norm in our society, both then and now", it "earns kudos for daring to actually be about something relevant and interesting.
It is actually very much about the sexualization of women in popular culture, rather than just using those tools to make pointless exploitation fare. Bromley further judged that the film is "about fighting a losing battle. About using every tool at your disposal, be it sexuality or physical strength or wit or the ability to band together to fight a common enemy—the tool of Sisterhood—and about how that still isn't enough.
I always said that it was a commentary on sexism and geek culture. Though the film's content was derided, the film received some recognition for the visual effects of the fantasy sequences. The film reached 1 best-selling DVD for four weeks in a row, selling over a million copies in America on its premiere day. An R-rated  extended cut was included on the Blu-ray release, which adds 18 minutes to the film.

Alternative Take Blue adds that he's thinking about the High Roller's hands sliding all over her body. He says that she thinks about all the men who will look at her and want her. When he says that she might think that this is fun for him, this in the theatrical version is spoken off-screen while you see a shot of Baby Doll; in the extended cut he says it onscreen.
Theatrical Version: Extended Cut: Baby Doll slaps Blue in the face and the latter reacts by saying that this is good. Baby Doll slowly wakes up and sits up; the girls who just looked after her step aside. The "High Roller" is sitting around in the background and tells her that they're going to have sex.
However he doesn't just want the "physiological thing" but something that even he a wealthy man can't buy. Baby Doll thinks that he's talking about love but the "High Roller" says that he wants a moment of truth. While he gets up and slowly walks towards the bed 2 women take off his jacket he says that he can only have such a moment from a person who doesn't fake it. Baby Doll still doesn't know what he's talking about. The "High Roller" sits down next to her and adds that he spent a fortune to get her in this room and now would be able to have her body but he wouldn't really know who she is, which actually is what he wants.
After all, he wants her to have sex with him of her own free will. Baby Doll slowly unbends, gets a little closer to him and says that she's sorry and that he really seems to be a nice guy. Then she asks him if she really shouldn't just lie to him.
The "High Roller" says no and whispers that he only wants this moment where he doesn't force her to have sex but where she really wants it; Baby is really keen on his engaging manner. He then explains that he will give her something back. While he explains all the liberties she will be granted, Baby Doll obviously aroused slowly takes the "High Roller's" clothes off.
The two of them fall on the bad and start to kiss. The "High Roller" asks her not to close her eyes and then moves forward again to kiss her passionately. Then the extended cut also shows the lobotomy. Needles to say, the penetration with the long hot needle as well as the doctor's explanations that she looked at him as if she WANTED him to to it have a completely different touch than in the theatrical version, now that they follow right after Baby Doll's final figment of her imagination.

Creative Writing Prompts Inspired by a Mix of Tennessee Williams and Elizabeth Taylor
Prompt 1: A line from the show spoken by the character Mae is "It was the punch bowl, Honey, the cut-glass punch bowl."
Write from the prompt: Cut-glass punch bowl.
Prompt 2: The character Dr. Baugh says, " Sometimes I wish I had a pill to make people disappear."
If you had a pill that could make anything you wanted to disappear, what would it be and why? Write about it.
Prompt 3: Here is a quote by Tennessee Williams:
Start a story where a character finds some kind of good luck charm and write how good luck comes along to help your character solve the conflict her or she is facing.
One of my favorite quotes by Williams is from his play STREET CAR NAMED DESIRE. It is spoken by Blanche, and Elizabeth Taylor played Blanche in the movie version of this famous show.
"I have always depended on the kindness of strangers."
Write a poem in third person about an act of kindness.


VCE Theatre Studies Unit 1-4 is a combined MacRob and MHS performing arts subject. In the first half of the year the students produce a play from the script to the stage for an audience, taking on an acting and a design role. The students also attend two professional productions during the year and write analysis pieces about each one. The second half of the year is the development of a monologue to perform as part of the end of year exams. In 2021 the large cast of MacRob and MHS students put on the successful recontextualization of Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’.

Macbeth murders King Duncan, but panics and leaves Lady Macbeth to finish the plan. The next morning the kings sons flee in order to stay alive, believing they will be next.
Macbeth sends thugs out to murder Banquo and his son, Fleance. Macbeth holds a banquet during which he sees the ghost of Banquo. Macbeth begins to rant and rave, while Lady Macbeth tries to salvage their image.
Macbeth becomes obsessed with power and asks the witches for more prophecies. Malcolm hatches a plan to kill Macbeth and become the rightful King.
Lady Macbeth begins to go insane, and kills herself. Macbeth continues fighting, believing the witches’ prophecies will protect him. He is then confronted by Macduff.

HBO's Lovecraft Country
When I saw the trailer for HBO's Lovecraft Country I got the same sense of anticipation that I got when I saw the trailer for the HBO Watchmen series. The series will premiere on August 16, 2020, and will consist of ten episodes. The official Lovecraft Country website describes the series this way-
"The one-hour drama series based on the 2016 novel by Matt Ruff, follows Atticus Black as he joins his friend Letitia and his Uncle George to embark on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father. What follows is a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the terrifying monsters that could be ripped from an H.P. Lovecraft paperback."
While the trailer and the series description seem to give me an idea of what the series is about, it feels like there is so much more to Lovecraft Country than I'm being led to believe. I can't help but think of how HBO's the Watchmen series wove racism into the plot in such an artful manner and hope Lovecraft Country can pull off the same thing.
One of the compelling things about this series is not only is it horror, but it there's also has magic and the supernatural. From what I've read there's also a sci-fi episode. I love this idea of mixing or jumping back and forth between genres.
Interestingly enough, Lovecraft Country was originally a book written by New Yorker Matt Ruff who is of German ancestry. It says something about how racism and horror is being viewed when we have a white writer who tackles a subject like this. I think there's always that concern that a white writer just won't get it and what they will produce will miss the nuances of racism that only someone who has experienced it all their lives can deliver. I haven't read the book yet, so I can't say much about Matt Ruff's delivery. But the idea that this could become a sub genre of horror (maybe Peele Horror?) that is explored artistically by everyone is exciting.
The cast is full of familiar faces like Jurnee Smollett-Bell (Birds of Prey, Eve's Bayou, True Blood), Courtney B. Vance (The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, American Crime Story), and Jonathan Majors(Da 5 Bloods, The Last Black Man in San Francisco). Being a fan of the Wire, it was especially cool to see Michael Kenneth Williams was casted in this series. All in all the, it looks like a solid cast.
As time goes on, I'll be updating this page with more information and hopefully get time to read the book before the series premiere.
The executive producers of the show are:
- Misha Green, who also serves as show-runner, co-created Underground, a series about the Underground Railroad in Antebellum Georgia.
- J.J. Abrams, known for producing and writing Star Trek, Lost, Alias, and Fringe.
- Jordan Peele, known for Us and Get Out
- Bill Carraro, executive producer of American History X, The Tuskegee Airmen, and Blade Runner 2049
- Yann Demange, directed episodes of Top Boy, and the movie White Boy Rick
- Daniel Sackheim, produced episodes of True Detective, Night Stalkers, and the X-Files.
- David Knoller, director, producer and writer, known for Power, Big Love and Freaks & Geeks.
