Podcasts about Miramax

Courtroom battles are reshaping the film industry in ways that affect everyone from A-list stars to streaming subscribers. When Scarlett Johansson sued Disney over Black Widow's simultaneous streaming release, she wasn't just fighting for her paycheck—she was challenging how talent gets compensated in the digital age. The resulting alleged $40 million settlement forced studios everywhere to rewrite contracts with streaming contingencies.Meanwhile, across the globe, Nigerian filmmaker Femi Adebayo made history with a judgment against digital pirates who cleverly misused his film's promotional materials. His three-year legal fight established crucial precedent for Nollywood creators and signaled that copyright protection extends beyond Hollywood's borders.Technology continues to create fascinating legal disruptions. When Quentin Tarantino announced plans to auction Pulp Fiction NFTs, Miramax quickly filed suit, arguing his 1993 contract never contemplated blockchain tokens. Though they settled privately, the dispute highlighted how decades-old agreements struggle to address technologies that didn't exist when the ink dried.The most provocative developments involve artificial intelligence. Buenos Aires prosecutors are challenging their own government for failing to regulate AI systems that clone faces and voices without consent, framing digital identity as a constitutional right. Simultaneously, Chinese courts ruled that images created with AI tools can receive copyright protection—but only when significant human creativity guides the process.From Japanese courts imposing record penalties against "fast movie" channels that condense films into unauthorized summaries to European judges limiting what information YouTube must share about copyright infringers, these cases collectively demonstrate that intellectual property law isn't just legal background noise—it's the script determining who controls the stories we love.Whether you're creating content, distributing it, or simply enjoying it as a fan, understanding these shifting legal frameworks provides a fascinating new lens through which to view your favorite films.

Welcome to Following Films, the show where we go behind the scenes with the people who make the movies we love. I'm your host, Chris Maynard, and today I'm joined by a filmmaker whose new film is both a gritty Boston drama and a deeply personal debut.Eric Aronson is a Boston-based writer and director with over 22 years of experience as a Hollywood screenwriter. He's written for major studios like Warner Bros., Disney, Miramax, and Lionsgate, and collaborated with creative forces like Sacha Baron Cohen. Now, with his directorial debut Any Day Now, Aronson brings a raw, heartfelt story to the screen — and back home to Boston.The film stars Boston native Paul Guilfoyle, best known for CSI, L.A. Confidential, and Spotlight. He plays Marty Lyons, a streetwise hustler who pulls a drifting young night watchman — played by Taylor Gray — into a murky world of misfits, regret, and second chances.Featuring an outstanding cast including Alexandra Templer, Thomas Kee, and Armando Rivera, Any Day Now is a love letter to the city and a story about finding meaning when everything feels lost.

Margaux Amant is radiohost bij Studio Brussel en de stem van ‘Man Bijt Hond'. Gevraagd naar haar favoriete Disneyfilms als kind, dropt ze een titel die ik nooit eerder hoorde: ‘Ella Enchanted'. Nochtans een sprookjesfilm met Anne Hathaway (die zélf zingt), post ‘The Princess Diaries'. Technisch gesproken een Disneyfilm, uitgebracht onder de Miramax-vlag. Helaas is die vandaag wel nergens legaal te bekijken en zijn de user-generated duidelijk geschreven door mensen die het verhaal niet hebben begrepen. In feite is dit een gemoderniseerde versie van Assepoester: Ella krijgt bij haar geboorte de ‘gave' van gehoorzaamheid, waardoor ze alles moet doen wat haar wordt opgedragen. En uiteraard wordt daar gretig misbruik van gemaakt, onder meer door haar stiefzussen. Het is een film met Joanna Lumley als stiefmoeder en Eric Idle als verteller, met een vette knipoog naar ‘Monty Python' en naar een middelleeuwen dat nooit heeft bestaan. Met een geweldige nummerkeuze van onder meer Elton John, Queen en Aretha Franklin. Maar we hebben het ook over je het opdringen van Disneyfilms aan je jongere broer of zus, over de zin en onzin van musical en over de Sissi-trilogie.

In the second of five special episodes to celebrate this podcast's 300th episode, focused on J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings, Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings was 18-years-old by the time Peter Jackson started considering making his own version in live action. Jackson and his partner Fran Walsh wanted to make something high fantasy, but kept coming back to Tolkien's stories.Acquiring the rights from Saul Zaentz took a while, and at the time Jackson was contracted to Miramax, so Harvey Weinstein took charge.With a planned two-film adaptation, filmed back-to-back, this The Lord of the Rings adaptation was worked on under Miramax. Then the budget started to balloon, but parent company Disney refused to help.Jackson was given an ultimatum by Weinstein - either reduce the number of films to one, continue with two on a heavily reduced budget, or abandon the project entirely and find another studio willing to take it on within four weeks.Jackson and his "fellowship" would choose their own quest to find a new studio, and they ended up at New Line Cinema, where something incredible happened... This episode is Part 1 of a three-part story, as well as Part 2 of a five-part group of episodes.

We've got unicorns on the brain!

In speaking with my two guests, they shared stories of the three generations of writers in the family including, Irene's mother, Wilma, followed by my guest, Irene and her son Brendan. Brendan is an award winning graphic novel/picture book author and acquiring editor at Blackstone Publishing where he also runs the TV and Film Division even made notice of having his maternal grandmothers published books on his desk. Brendan shares that he was always supported and encouraged by his family with his passion for comic books which he started writing and drawing caricatures at a young age.In time, Irene expressed "that the family was moving in a different direction and the divorce was almost inevitable." Irene continues, "I'm highly emotionally intelligent and I finally found my tribe. I found people who spoke my language." This all occurred once she went back to school for her Masters Degree in Counseling, and later on became a social worker. Brendan raves about his childhood as a latch key kid. He loved growing up in Connecticut. And now as a father, he appreciates even more what it takes for parents to raise their children. And now he's learned even more about what his mother was going through raising the four Deneen children.Both Irene and Brendan claim to be emotionally intelligent-they are very good at listening to others, which Brendan feels that "not many people listen to one another these days." Brendan has always been there for his mom as a sounding board. Irene says " Brendan was my listening post." When she needed to talk, she call Brendan.They have a special bond for sure. They respect one another.Irene Deneen Murray: Irene Deneen Murray grew up in the 50's, an era when a woman could be a nurse, teacher or secretary. She chose teacher because it pleased her mother. In truth the first half of her life was devoted to taking care of or pleasing her mother. At age 50 having raised 4 kids in a Hollywood -worthy suburb, Irene became a divorcee and learned to love being more adventurous than she had previously ever imagined. By then she was working as a social worker having recently earned a Master's Degree in Counseling. Irene loves the natural world and has been a devoted hiker and later a biker, paddler and pretty consistently a practitioner of yoga. She continues these pastimes presently sometimes to the chagrin of her children since they may picture her falling off a cliff, rolling over in her kayak or some other catastrophe. Her children and grandchildren are her greatest achievement. She is a good observer and has insight galore but is sometimes amazed at how each of her children has developed so uniquely. Brendan Deneen is the author of the novelsThe Ninth Circle andThe Chrysalis, as well as the bestselling four-volume Night Night, Groot picture book series for Marvel/Disney. He's also the author of the middle-grade graphic novelGreen Arrow: Stranded for DC Comics; the novels Morbius: Blood Ties and Guardians of the Galaxy: Annihilation:Conquest from Marvel/Titan, and Alien: Uncivil War from 20th Century Studios/Titan. His other graphic novel work includes multiple volumes of Flash Gordon, an original Island of Misfit Toys book, and the original graphic novel Scatterbrain. In addition to his writing, Brendan has been working in the publishing and film/TV industries for twenty-five years, including development jobs with Scott Rudin Productions and Miramax, as well as editorial and book-to-film jobs with St. Martin's Press and Tor Books. He currently works at Blackstone Publishing, where he's an acquiring editor in addition to running the company's film/TV division, which he created, and where he has dozens of literary projects set up at movie studios, streamers, and networks. His short stories and essays have been published by St. Martin's Press, Reader's Digest Books, 13Thirty Press, and Necro Publications.  Brendan Deneen's Written Works:NOVELS                                                                    The Ninth CircleThe ChrysalisMorbius: Blood TiesGuardians of the Galaxy: Annihilation--ConquestAlien: Uncivil WarTracer GRAPHIC NOVELSScatterbrainFlash Gordon: The Mercy WarsFlash Gordon: Invasion of the Red Sword Flash Gordon: The Vengeance of MingThe Island of Misfit Toys Green Arrow: Stranded PICTURE BOOKSNight Night, Groot First Day of Groot!Snow Day for Groot!Summer Adventure for Groot!

¿De qué trata este episodio?Harvey Weinstein era uno de los hombres más poderosos de Hollywood. Su productora, Miramax, lanzó películas icónicas y definió una era del cine. Pero todo cambió cuando las acusaciones en su contra destaparon uno de los mayores escándalos de la industria y dieron origen al movimiento #MeToo.Hoy te contamos cómo Weinstein pasó de ser el rey de Hollywood a un criminal condenado, los detalles de su juicio y qué cambió realmente en la industria tras este escándalo.

Steven Soderbergh's first feature, sex, lies, and videotape put him on the map hard. It won the Palme d'Or, made the Sundance Film Festival into an industry unto itself, and helped turn Miramax into a major player - to say nothing of its actual content. Join us as we dig into the film that made Soderbergh an overnight sensation and try to act normal about intimacy. Good ep!   Further Reading: Sex, Lies, and Videotape by Steven Soderbergh Down and Dirty Pictures by Peter Biskind Rebels on the Backlot by Sharon Waxman Further Viewing: FIVE EASY PIECES (Rafelson, 1970) CARNAL KNOWLEDGE (Nichols, 1971)   Follow Pod Casty For Me: https://www.podcastyforme.com/ https://twitter.com/podcastyforme https://www.instagram.com/podcastyforme/ https://www.youtube.com/@podcastyforme Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PodCastyForMe Artwork by Jeremy Allison: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyallisonart  

Kevin Patrick Allen and Eric Frith sit down with me to talk about their fatherhood journey. We talk about how their kids teach them life lessons. In addition, the share the values they look to instill into their kids. After that we talk about their documentary, Beneath the Shadow. They share their filming and writing process. We also talk about how this film encapsulates family, love and strength. Lastly, we finish the interview with the Fatherhood Quick Five.  About Kevin Patrick Allen Kevin Patrick Allen is a veteran journalist turned documentary filmmaker. He's been recognized for his research, his eye for identifying the unique qualities in characters and stories and his prioritization of critical thinking and empathy. His films have influenced federal legislation, earned praise from mental health professionals and encouraged resilience-building in communities large and small. He's earned honors coast to coast from organizations including the California Associated Press Radio-Television Association, NorCal RTNDA, the New York International News Festival and the Chesapeake AP Broadcasters Association.  About Eric Frith Working in both non-fiction and fiction, Eric Frith's Emmy Award storytelling has appeared everywhere. Hid work is on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple TV. It has been distributed by Miramax and heralded as "an Oscar level piece of work" by film critics Ebert and Roeper.

His films have screened at top festivals: Sundance, Toronto, SXSW, Tribeca, SIFF and literally hundreds of others around the world.  About Beneath the Shadow  Jim Tyrer is known in football circles as the greatest player not in the Professional Football Hall of Fame. He's also known as the man who inexplicably killed his wife and himself. For Tina, Brad, Stef and Jason, he's remembered simply as “Dad”—even though he left them orphans with a tarnished legacy when he murdered their mom before killing himself. Beneath the Shadow follows the children from their idyllic early lives to the night of the crime. In addition, you see decades into the future as they refused to succumb to despair and anger. That is because of the grandparents (parents to Martha). They raised them to forgive and move forward—with or without answers. Grandpa and Grandma Cline moved into the room where the murder/suicide took place. They raised the children and refused to disparage their son-in-law, Jim. The children excelled. Still, any understanding of the tragedy would elude them for decades. Make sure you follow Kevin on Instagram over at @kevpatrickallen. Go to the kppllc.net to learn more about Beneath the Shadow.

I 1994 snudde regissør Ole Bornedal dansk film på hodet når han beviste at det var fullt mulig å lage sjangerfilm på dansk. Nattevakten er den aller første kommersielle danske grøsseren eller "gyseren" som våre skandinaviske naboer kaller det. Martin tar seg en jobb som nattevakt på Rettsmedisinsk institutt fordi han ser på det som en gylden mulighet til å studere samtidig som han tjener litt penger. Ingen dum idé, hadde det ikke vært for at Martin synes det er ubehagelig å være alene med en haug med lik på natta. Det hjelper heller ikke at en seriemorder går løs i Københavns gater. Nattevakten satte dansk film på kartet og Ole Bornedal ble hentet til Hollywood av Miramax for å lage en versjon tilpasset det amerikanske markedet. Men kan den stå opp i mot den danske originalen? Det er her vi kommer inn i bildet, for vi har nemlig svaret! Med: Chris og KurtVignett fremført av: Filmjunkiene v/Ivar Nikolai Fallet & Aleksander U. Serigstad 

Charlie joins Caitlin to cover Strange Darling, a recent erotic thriller from JT Mollner. We talk about the production (specifically that it was beautifully shot on 35mm), the editing, the acting, and the score. We both really loved the movie, and we enjoyed taking a closer look at the gender themes throughout. Tangents include: Top Chef (skippers, jump to minute 11 to get to the movie review), favorite months, pet names, balloons, feral cats, horror universes to live in, horror soundtracks, and Jennifer Tilly.

Es enero, la temporada de premios ha iniciado y la estatuilla más codiciada es el Óscar. A lo largo de la historia ha habido personas que han logrado encontrar la fórmula para ganar este reconocimiento, aunque no necesariamente por la calidad de sus películas o sus historias, y el caso más reciente parece ser el de cierta señorita Emilia Pérez. ¿Qué está haciendo Netflix para acaparar la atención mientras busca agregar estatuillas a su colección? De eso y más hablaremos en esta entrega de The Dailies.Notas completas del episodio en Patreon. ¿Tienes cuenta de Amazon Prime? ¡Puedes apoyar este proyecto donando el dinero de Jeff Bezos y a ti no te cuesta nada! Instrucciones aquí.Lo que ha logrado construir Netflix con su más reciente intento por comprarse un Óscar a mejor película, es una narrativa. La cinta es conocida, y los malos comentarios de críticos o mexicanos son diluidos por la pauta mediática que han comprado, desde con figuras públicas, pasando por personas que no pueden hablar mal de la cinta (recordemos que eso es una de las viejas reglas del juego), o incluso con la pauta promocional para medios especializados y votantes de la academia, en donde en su momento, se notaba que invirtieron hasta 4 veces más que otras cintas, como lo reporté en X.Algo que tiene en su contra este intento de Netflix por obtener premios, es que ellos no son vistos como el pequeño competidor, como pasó con Miramax. Ellos son la empresa disruptora que hizo que los salarios e ingresos en el cine se redujeran, afectando a la industria, y ahora buscan legitimarse con estatuillas. Varios talentos se han alejado de ofertas de este estudio con tal de tener presencia en salas de cine para apoyar a la industria y la exhibición. Por otro lado, hay cintas que deberían tener mejor presencia, como Conclave (posible ganadora por ser la menos ofensiva), Anora o el Brutalista (las cuales han mostrado malos manejos de promoción por parte de A24 y Neon, y son sucesores espirituales de la Miramax de los 90s), pero que no han logrado construir esa narrativa que, de momento, Netflix tiene a su favor.Lo importante no es que tu película sea la mejor, sino que la gente crea que lo es. Y si además manda un mensaje en favor de la política del momento, como pasó con The Green Book, la cual ganó sin mérito suficiente, incrementas tus probabilidades de premios, aunque tu cinta pase al olvido al año siguiente. Eso es algo que favorecen los liberales hollywoodenses más por encima de lo que deberían reconocer con las estatuillas.Y con eso terminamos esta entrega.

Creativity through the lens of a screen writer, Emmy nominated producer and podcaster"Creativity is just creating something that wasn't there."Adam “Tex” Davis graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in 1993. A scant three years later he'd achieved great success -- as the night manager of Shaun's Bagels in Manhattan. But soon after, "Tex" sold his first screenplay, Sunburned, to Miramax and his second screenplay Just Friends to New Line Cinema. Just Friends went on to become a cult, rom-com classic starring Ryan Reynolds and Anna Farris. Other produced credits soon followed including Spring Break Lawyer, a made-for-cable comedy for MTV; and Gardener of Eden, a dark indie-comedy produced by Leonardo Dicaprio's Appian Way and directed by Entourage's Kevin Connolly.For nearly 20 years, Adam has written, rewritten, or punched-up over 25 feature film scripts for every major studio in Hollywood... and Bachelor Party 2. In addition, Adam has sold original comedy television series to the WB Network, CBS, and Comedy Central.Adam served as Co-Executive Producer and Head Writer for the Emmy nominated, genre-defining, global hit series Brain Games, for the National Geographic Channel. The success of Brain Games led Adam to co-form Atomic Entertainment, a full-service film & TV production company, for which Adam oversees creative content. Along with long-time friend, fellow NYU graduate, and collaborator Jerry Kolber, Atomic created the darkly-comic docu-series, The Internet Ruined My Life (SyFy) and Brainchild, a high-concept, kids' science/variety show, co-produced by Pharrell Williams for Netflix. Adam has also produced/ directed branded projects for Google, GE, IBM, Drone Racing League, Top Golf, Headspace & Conde Nast.With dozens of original projects airing or in the works, including What's Your Problem? and Making Magic -- Atomic continues its quest for global dominance.In his spare time, Adam continues to write original screenplays and create series ideas. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, daughter, dog, cat, and fish.https://www.linkedin.com/company/atomic-entertainment-group/https://www.instagram.com/atomicent/https://www.atomicentertainment.com/Send us a text

As 2024 comes to a close, we couldn't end the year without one final episode drop. This one is especially fitting for New Year's Eve, as today's guest is none other than Alexandra Loewy, EP of Coralie Fargeat's critically acclaimed film, “The Substance.” No spoilers, but NYE plays a special role in the third act! Ali began as an assistant at Miramax and eventually worked her way up to President of US film operations at Working Title before pursuing her current endeavor of independent producing. "The Substance" was one of my favorite films this year. I couldn't imagine a better way to close out the year than with a fellow badass who also happen to have a son named Theo. Join us as we discuss the evolving definition of a producer's role in Hollywood, the power of women in their 40s, and how the making of this film changed Ali's life.

After seven years, he's about to leave the CEO role at Sony Pictures (although he will stay on as chairman for one more year) and attributes much of his success to luck: “I've been in the right place at the right time a lot of times.” That said, he also encourages his children to proactively be curious, something that has served Tony well across his whole career. “I don't have as deep an education as many of the people that [I] compete with,” he says. “So I try to make up for that by knowing what's going on and being more curious ... working harder at it and being more — I don't know what the right word is, but sucking more information in, all the time.”Chapters:(00:54) - The perks of being a studio boss (03:38) - Hulu and Peter Chernin (06:41) - Fox Television (10:03) - Building relationships (13:37) - Not retiring (15:34) - Fixing Sony (23:29) - Intellectual property (26:58) - Juggling and baseball (29:30) - Setbacks and cable networks (34:58) - The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes (37:22) - AI and replacing writers (39:46) - Adapting to new tech (44:38) - Changing consumer behavior (49:25) - Sports media and live TV (55:31) - Bad days (58:57) - Tony's family (01:02:47) - Looking back (01:05:04) - Proactive curiosity (01:07:33) - What “grit” means to Tony Mentioned in this episode: Jason Kilar and Warner Bros., Jeff Zucker, John Waldron and Goldman Sachs, FX, Drayton McLane, Netflix, Variety, PlayStation, Spider-Man, Tom Rothman, CBS and Paramount, Comcast and NBC, Disney, Mike Hopkins, Amazon Prime, Funimation, Crunchyroll, Breaking Bad, The Last of Us, HBO, Uncharted, WBZ-TV, the Game Show Network, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, Joker: Folie à Deux, Miramax, Here, Tom Hanks, Venom: The Last Dance, Michael Ovitz, Sam Altman and OpenAI, Pixomondo, Neal Mohan and YouTube, Susan Wojcicki, DirecTV and AT&T, NFL Sunday Ticket, Qualcomm, the New York Knicks, the Golden State Warriors, Larry Baer and the San Francisco Giants, Major League Baseball, Walmart and Vizio, Madame Web, Capital Cities, Mark McLaughlin, and Mark Fields and Ford.Links:Connect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

Subsequently, he moved to Los Angeles and segued into film and television production, first as Sr. Vice President of Development and Production, for Dodi Fayed, who later lost his life in an automobile crash with Princess Diana, and then for Albert S. Ruddy, legendary film producer of Oscar-winning films such as The Godfather and Million Dollar Baby. He later founded his own company, RoadDog Industries, Inc., and in late 2022 was the Executive Producer of Miramax's new Fletch film, Confess, Fletch, starring Jon Hamm.

He is currently working on his second novel, The Whale Hunter.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes. Last week, mere minutes after our Tuesday evening recording session, we were both delighted and disheartened when Marvel Studios dropped its “Look Ahead | Disney Plus'' trailer, which not only provided release dates, but showcased our first official look at footage, for a whopping 8 streaming projects. Here's what we learned: Box office juggernaut Deadpool & Wolverine will be available to stream on the platform beginning November 12, 2024. We already knew Daredevil: Born Again is set to begin streaming March 4, 2025, but the trailer, which was intercut with footage from the other shows, gave us our first look at the villain Muse, the return of Jon Bernthal's Punisher, as well as Bullseye, and perhaps most surprisingly the inclusion of Ms. Marvel's dad, Yusuf Khan What If Season 3 will begin streaming this December 22nd, with no word as to whether that will be a weekly or daily release, like last year. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will begin airing January 29th, 2025 Riri William's Ironheart makes her return beginning June 24th, 2025 Eyes of Wakanda, the animated anthology series is set for an August 6th, 2025 debut Marvel Zombies will premiere sometime in October 2025, with the live action Wonder Man series starring Yahya Abdul Mateen II arriving later that December. In a final marketing push ahead of its December 3 premiere, Lucasfilm released final art, a poster, and a new trailer for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. The series, which is helmed by Spider-Man filmmaker Jon Watts, is an Amblin Entertainment-inspired coming of age tale that follows four youths who embark on a swashbuckling adventure with unexpected revelations. The trailer is in keeping with what we've seen from the series thus far, which is to say it feels tonally divergent from anything we've seen in Star Wars before, including new species, planets, and a synth-pop heavy score. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros is gearing up to bring the world of George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones to the silver screen with at least one film in early development. And that's pretty much all we know – there's no creative talent attached yet, meaning no writer or director, much less any word regarding a potential time, setting, or characters that might be involved. Amazon MGM Studios is testing actors for the role of Lara Croft in Phoebe Waller-Bridge's upcoming Tomb Raider series. Sophie Turner and Lucy Boynton top Amazon's wish list, according to Deadline. Scary Movie creators Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Ivory Wayans are reuniting after 18 years to develop a new film in the franchise for Paramount and Miramax. Kelly Macdonald, known for Boardwalk Empire and No Country for Old Men, has joined the cast of DC Studios' Lanterns. Amazon MGM Studios is developing a Jack Ryan film, continuing the series storyline with John Krasinski, Wendell Pierce, and Michael Kelly. Andrew Bernstein will direct. Early box office projections show Wicked opening at over $80 million domestically and Gladiator 2 at $65 million, both debuting on November 22. Universal Pictures and LEGO have partnered to develop three live-action LEGO films, directed by Jake Kasdan, Patty Jenkins, and Joe Cornish. Toho has officially greenlit a new Godzilla movie from the director of last year's Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One. Amazon MGM Studios has acquired American Speed, starring Tom Holland and Austin Butler as the scandal-ridden Whittington Brothers, with Oscar-winning producer Charles Roven attached. Ridley Scott revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that he's working on a new Alien movie for 20th Century Studios, though it's unclear if it's connected to the Alien: Romulus follow-up or a standalone project. Tom Cruise is in early talks with Paramount for a Days of Thunder sequel, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Lou Diamond Phillips is currently starring in the FOX series “Prodigal Son,” having recently starred on the acclaimed Netflix series, “Longmire,” based on the Walt Longmire mystery novels by Craig Johnson. Other recent credits include Amazon's “Goliath,” SyFy's “Stargate Universe,” CBS' “Blue Bloods,” and recurring roles on Fox's “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and Netflix's “The Ranch.” He received an Emmy nomination for “Outstanding Actor in a Short Form Drama or Comedy” for his roles in both Amazon's “Conversations in LA” and History Channel's “Crossroads of History.” Recent film credits include Warner Brothers' “The 33,” “Created Equal” directed by Bill Duke, and Sundance Festival favorite “Filly Brown,” for which he was named Best Actor at the Imagen Awards.  As a director, Phillips recently helmed episodes of AMC's hit series “Fear the Walking Dead,” “Longmire,” and ABC's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. As a writer, Phillips has co-written the screenplays for ‘Trespasses,' and HBO's ‘Dangerous Touch.' He wrote the Miramax feature ‘Ambition.' He recently produced his play ‘Burning Desire,' a romantic comedy in two acts, which received it's world premiere at The Seven Angels Theatre in Waterbury, Connecticut. Phillips was also asked by his good friend, novelist Craig Johnson, to write the forward to his collection of short stories ‘Wait For Signs.'  Originally born in the Philippines, Phillips was raised in Texas and is a graduate of University of Texas at Arlington with a BFA in Drama.  Drawing from a lifetime of work in the film industry, Lou used his screenwriting experience in order to write an original science fiction novel called The Tinderbox: Soldier of Indira. It is his first novel, inspired by a reading of the famed fable of the same title by Hans Christian Andersen.

In the wake of Disney’s big night at the Emmys, Kim Masters and Matt Belloni take a look at the New York Times article chronicling the chaotic succession endeavors at Disney. Plus, Masters speaks with writer-director J.T. Mollner and producer Roy Lee about their cat-and-mouse thriller Strange Darling. The film currently sits at 95% on Rotten Tomatoes and was called a “clever masterpiece” by Stephen King. But the road to such acclaim was not an easy one for the filmmakers. Mollner and his producers faced constant pushback from studio executives at Miramax, including having production shut down two days into shooting. Plus, the pair tells us about editorial clashes in post-production that would ultimately result in Mollner being given final cut.

There are an infinite number of stories to tell, an infinite number or worlds to explore. But sometimes one just burrows into your brain and won't let go, squirming into every daydream and idle conversation, demanding to be brought to life. And writer-producer Pete Jones believes those are the ones worth pursuing. An up and coming filmmaker who got his big break thanks to the Miramax sponsored competition "Project Greenlight," Peter Jones went from production assistant and insurance salesman to director and screenwriter almost overnight when he was awarded $1 million with which to produce his debut feature "Stolen Summer' (2002). He's since gone on to write multiple successful comedy films, including "Ricky Stanicky," "The Greatest Beer Run Ever," and "Hall Pass." Pete Jones IMDB Alex Keledjian Alex Keledjian is the creator of Project Greenlight, a documentary television series where executive producers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck gave first-time filmmakers a chance to direct their first feature film.   In 2018, Alex wrote and directed the film High Voltage starring David Arquette and Luke Wilson.

We review The Disruptors: How 15 Successful Businesses Defied the Norm by Sally Percy. Sally Percy is a business journalist and editor, specialising in leadership and management. The Disruptors: How 15 Successful Businesses Defied the Norm, reviewed This is a good book in some ways, as it is always interesting when you get to learn about some companies that you perhaps have heard less about. At the same time, while reading the 15 case studies, we did wonder if there is some degree of confirmation bias going on. Is the common element that these companies are, or at have had success, rather than that they did anything particularly well. As Bill Gates said, to paraphrase, success is a lousy teacher. It makes you assume that the choices you made were awesome and, looking back, you did everything right. Some of the examples may age less well too. Elon Musk is included, which is, or rather would have been no surprise perhaps five years ago, whereas now it is hard to understand how relentlessly he is destroying his own reputation and actively turning people off buying his Tesla products among others. With the A24 example, it seemed like a narrative of a company growing, but how different is this arc of growth to that of Miramax? And we know that didn't turn out so well. We would have liked longer side bars, with a clearer exposition and explanation of why and what these particular people did that was disruptive or innovative, rather than simply growing and trying new sectors in which to make media content. It is an interesting and thought provoking read, but it is always a challenge to ensure that the profiles are not mere hagiography to the people featured. Was Elon really fearless, innovation, driven and daring, or merely a trustafarian tech bro, who is revealing his true, more insidious nature as time goes by. It would have been nice to have had a more critical analysis of how company X performed better than company Y for our tastes. Sally Percy is the author of new book The Disruptors: How 15 Successful Businesses Defied the Norm, published by Kogan Page on 03 September. Sally Percy is a business journalist and editor, specialising in leadership and management. She is also a leadership contributor to Forbes.com and a commercial copywriter, speechwriter and ghostwriter. She is author of The Disruptors: How 15 Successful Businesses Defied the Norm (Kogan Page), 21st Century Business Icons: The Leaders Who Are Changing our World (Kogan Page) and Reach the Top in Finance: The Ambitious Accountant's Guide to Career Success (Bloomsbury). The Disruptors Fearless, innovative, driven and daring. These are the qualities of a disruptor: a business that is willing to take risks to achieve incredible success. In The Disruptors, leading business journalist Sally Percy investigates the stories behind some of the world's most innovative businesses, who took unconventional and trailblazing approaches to overcome the competition and achieve success. Spotify, Nintendo, TikTok and A24. These are all businesses that have taken disruptive pathways to success and have redefined their industries. The Disruptors dives into the strategies behind these stories, offering valuable insights into innovative and daring entrepreneurship. See more book reviews here.

"The Crow" remake starring Bill Skaarsgaard is on the horizon, so Gabe and Connor look at the last theatrical movie in the franchise: "The Crow: City of Angels." Forced to become an anthology series after the tragic loss of Brandon Lee, The Crow franchise flopped so hard with this second effort that the series went straight-to-video afterwards. That's largely thanks to meddling from everyone's favorite guy, Harvey Weinstein, who butchered the original vision by director Tim Pope and screenwriter David S. Goyer.Still, after the mediocore-to-spectacularly awful sequels that came afterwards, some fans appreciate this flick's style and consider it a worthy successor to the beloved original. So Gabe and Connor ask if COA was DOA, or if there's something to be salvaged in this strange concoction of BDSM, Nu Metal, and smog. Oh, and Iggy Pop.Website: https://thatbadmedia.com/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/33D4bKj...Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Twitter: https://x.com/ThatBadMediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thatbadmedia...Patreon: /thatbadmediaBe sure to check out our recent collab with Cody Leach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsgQbhNoUPc&t=580s

Back in the early days of the comic book movies, it was rare to see one released to theaters which was not only financially successful but also generally beloved by fans.  There were the Batman films....and then everything else including The Rocketeer, The Shadow, and Dick Tracy.  But just under thirty years, one came out which not only proved to be both financially successful and hugely influential for so many other subgenre films which were to follow up but also was being released under unusually tragic circumstances.  This was the final on-screen appearance of Brandon Lee who unfortunately died during production as the result of an on-set accident involving the use of a prop gun.  It was a shocking turn of events for some one who seemed to have enormous promise as a potential movie star and who also happened to be the son of a legendary movie star (Bruce Lee) who also died under mysterious circumstances almost three decades prior. :( Under the sure hand of director Alex Proyas, this supernatural revenge thriller turned out better than any one could have expected.  It tells the story of Eric Draven, the front man for a local goth rock band in Detroit who is brutally murdered alongside his fiance....but then is brought back temporarily to bring justice to those who wronged him and his lost love.  Also co-starring Ernie Hudson, Michael Wincott, and Bai Ling, it's time to revisit one of the more beloved comic book adaptations of the '90's...or any decade for that matter. Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
