New Trailer: Wyeth

Posted on by

WYETH tells the story of one of America’s most popular, but least understood, artists – Andrew Wyeth. Son of the famous illustrator N.C. Wyeth, Andrew had his first exhibition at age 20, and his painting “Christina’s World” was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in 1948. While Wyeth’s exhibitions routinely broke attendance records, art world critics continually assaulted his work.

Detailing the stunning drawings and powerful portraits he created in Chadds Ford, Pa. and on the coast of Cushing, Maine, WYETH explores his inspirations, including neighbor Christina Olsen and his hidden muse, the German model Helga Testorf, who he painted secretly for 15 years.

Through unprecedented access to Wyeth’s family members, including sons Jamie and Nicholas Wyeth, and never-before-seen archival materials from the family’s personal collection and hundreds of Wyeth’s studies, drawings and paintings, American Masters presents the most complete portrait of the artist yet — bearing witness to a legacy just at the moment it is evolving.

Directed by Glenn Holsten, the film will be available on Digital HD on September 8 and on DVD September 11 via PBS Distribution.

Eerie First Trailer For Netflix’s “Maniac” Released

Posted on by

By Creative Media Times

Netflix

Emma Stone and Jonah Hill has come a long way since they last starred together in the raunchy coming-of-age teen comedy hit film “Superbad.” The two are reuniting in an upcoming dark comedy series from Netflix “Maniac,” and now we finally have its first full trailer.

The trailer shows Stone and Hill’s characters Annie Landsberg and Owen Milgrim, being interrogated by
Justin Theroux’s Dr. James Mantleray. “Do you know where you are, right now? What do you think is wrong with you” Mantleray says.

“Is this therapy now?” Annie asks back during the interrogation which quickly turned bizarre. “It’s not therapy, it’s science,” Mantleray responds. “Once you begin to appreciate the structure of the mind, there’s no reason to believe anything about us can’t be changed. Pain can be destroyed. The mind can be solved.”

The series is based on the Norwegian television series of the same name by Hakon Bast Mossige and Espen PA Lervaag which aired in 2014. Written by Patrick Somerville and directed by Cary Fukunaga, “Maniac” is set to premiere on Netflix on Sep. 15.

Here’s the series logline:

“Annie’s disaffected and aimless, fixated on broken relationships with her mother and her sister; Owen, the fifth son of wealthy New York industrialists, has struggled his whole life with a disputed diagnosis of schizophrenia. Neither of their lives have turned out quite right, and the promise of a new, radical kind of pharmaceutical treatment—a sequence of pills its inventor, Dr. James K. Mantleray (Justin Theroux), claims can repair anything about the mind, be it mental illness or heartbreak—draws them and ten other strangers to the facilities of Neberdine Pharmaceutical and Biotech for a three-day drug trial that will, they’re assured, with no complications or side-effects whatsoever, solve all of their problems, permanently. Things do not go as planned.”

Posted on by

By Creative Media Times

Warner Bros. Pictures

Initially slated for a October 19 theatrical release, Warner Bros film “Mowgli” is now coming to Netflix in 2019, Variety is reporting.

Netflix has done similar acquisitions of high profile films in the past, including “Mudbound, which premiered on the streaming service as well as in New York City and Los Angeles last November, and Paramount Pictures films “The Cloverfield Paradox” which was release immediately after the Super Bowl LII and “Annihilation,” which was released both on Netflix and theatrically earlier this year.

The film is directed by Andy Serkis, who is best known for his performance capture roles in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.

The story is based on The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, thought the film’s trailers seem to show a more grittier take on the classic story. “Witness the darkest retelling of the beloved masterpiece,” the tagline appears on the trailer.

Rohan Chand is the titular character while Serkis plays Baloo. They are joined by Cate Blanchett as Kaa, Christian Bale as Bagheera, Matthew Rhys as John Lockwood, and Benedict Cumberbatch who plays fearsome tiger Shere Khan, the main antagonist in the book.

Here is the synopsis for the film:

“The story follows the upbringing of the human child Mowgli, raised by a wolf pack in the jungles of India. As he learns the often harsh rules of the jungle, under the tutelage of a bear named Baloo and a panther named Bagheera, Mowgli becomes accepted by the animals of the jungle as one of their own. All but one: the fearsome tiger Shere Khan. But there may be greater dangers lurking in the jungle, as Mowgli comes face to face with his human origins.”

“Spock is linked to these signals, and he needs help,” Michael says in the trailer.

“I love Jesse, I love that guy so much, I miss him!” Paul said of his Jesse Pinkman, cooking partner and former student to Bryan Cranston’s Walter White during a 10th anniversary panel for “Breaking Bad” at Thursday’s Comic-con.

It was ten years ago that audiences were introduced to the two characters which went on to become one of the biggest pop culture icons in TV history.

And on Thursday, that chemistry between the two and the whole cast is as fresh and palpable as if time has not passed since. And there’s added bonus of course of Aaron Paul bringing his adorable baby to the panel.

Fans were understandably ecstatic to see the cast in panel to mark the neo-western crime television series’ 10th anniversay, which included Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Giancarlo Esposito, Bob Odenkirk, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte and show creator Vince Gilligan.

Set and filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico andran from January 20, 2008 through September 29, 2013 on AMC, the series was a huge hit and widely regarded as one of the bet ever.

And even after the show has ended, the show’s spirit is kept alive by “Better Call Saul”, a prequel which explodes that same world. In fact, just before this panel was the cast and creators of ‘Saul’ which discussed Season 4 and answer fan questions, and which also received a very warm reception.

“You will not see Walt or Jesse in Season 4,” Gilligan said, referring to fan speculation about the characters appearing in Better Call Saul, which is set to premiere August 6 on AMC. “I would suspect we would be sorely remiss if these characters didn’t appear on this show before it ended.”

“There’s definitely a chance Bob Odenkirk is going to be on ‘Better Call Saul,’” Cranston joked.
