HBO Max will debut all six-parts of Ethan Hawke’s documentary “The Last Movie Stars,” which premiered at SXSW and the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, on July 21. The series explores the personal lives and careers of actors Joanna Woodward and Paul Newman. Hawke, who previously helmed the documentary “Seymour: An Introduction,” directs all six entries in the CNN Films docuseries while Martin Scorsese serves as executive producer.
Central to “The Last Movie Stars” is a long-abandoned project that Newman commissioned from friend and screenwriter Stewart Stern. At Newman’s request, Stern interviewed close friends, family and artistic collaborators like Elia Kazan, Sidney Lumet, Karl Malden, Sydney Pollack, Gore Vidal, Jackie Witte, Woodward for a planned memoir. Newman was also interviewed by Stern to discuss his youth, his first marriage with Witte, his romance and life with Woodward, his personal demons, and the loss of his son, Scott.

CNN, which created the 24-hour news cycle, was also the first to know that it wasn’t enough. Facing increasing competition in real-time news, CNN executives confronted the new reality a decade ago: It needed to evolve or face obsolescence.
It all came down to one question: “What can you give viewers that makes CNN essential?,” Amy Entelis, executive VP for talent and content development at CNN Worldwide, told IndieWire in an interview at SXSW. The answer was more original, exclusive reporting, plus not-news programming from CNN Original Series and CNN Films to offer deeper takes on the people, places, and events that commanded appointment viewing.
Today, CNN faces another pivot. It ranks last place in the cable news ratings, well behind Fox News, but the 40-year-old company is betting that the March 29 launch of CNN+ will reinvigorate the brand. News delivered by boldface talent is of supreme importance; Wolf Blitzer,...

If you haven’t yet made it to the National Media Museum in Bradford, Yorkshire, for its exhibit “Doctor Who and Me: 50 Years of Doctor Who Fans” (which I’ve mentioned before), you’ve got less than two weeks: the exhibit closes on February 9th.
I was at the opening night of the exhibit back in November, and I figure it’s time to share some thoughts and images from the exhibit. So I’m doing that all this week.
Today: fan crafts.
Is it because knitting and crocheting became a geeky thing in recent years that there’s so much yarncraft on display?
Theses are by German fan Lotta Groeger. Click here for a larger version with more detail.
Yarn Dalek by American fan Amy Ricci.
Yarn Tenth Doctor — complete with crazy hair! — by British fan Joanna Woodward.
I love this Dalek hat by British fan Colleen Whyatt.

Alec Baldwin, Marisa Tomei, Thomas Haden Church and Allison Janney are all joining the cast of indie feature “Lucky Them” reports Variety.
Huck Botko and Emily Wachtel penned the script which follows a female rock journalist who sets out to find her ex-boyfriend.
The project was initially planned as a television series almost a decade ago called “Off The Record” and the late Paul Newman was set to produce.
Re-conceived as a feature, Joanna Woodward will serve as executive producer on the film and shooting kicks off later this year.
