Spoiler Alert: This recap contains spoilers for Season 2, Episode 3 of “Blindspotting,” now streaming on Starz.
The latest episode of Starz’s “Blindspotting” forces Ashley (Jasmine Cephas Jones) and Miles (Rafael Casal) into parenting mode after their young son Sean, played by Atticus Woodward, uses the N-word.
Titled “N*ggaz and Jesus,” Ashley takes Sean to visit Miles (Rafael Casal) who is serving a five-year sentence at San Quentin State Prison. It’s a tough but necessary conversation as they teach Sean why using the word is wrong.
The moment comes during a conversation when Sean unexpectedly blurts the word out, but Sean presses and they are forced to discuss it with the boy.
Producer Jess Wu Calder stepped in to make her directorial debut with the episode and says it was “the most terrifying thing I’ve ever done.” In the script, Calder explains the line said, “Sean learns about...

Michael Yezerski composed the music for the film “Blindspotting” and was invited back for the series currently airing on Starz, this time collaborating with fellow musician Ambrose Akinmusire. Dance and music play a key role in the series alongside the spoken word, with sequences meant to be evocative and used to enhance the characters’ emotions.
The Starz adaptation was created by Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs, who wrote, produced and starred in the original film, and picks up six months after the movie’s timeline. Ashley, played by Jasmine Cephas Jones, and her partner of 12 years and father of their son, Miles, played by Casal, grapple with incarceration as mother and child are forced to move in with Miles’ mother and half-sister.

At the “Blindspotting” premiere at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Sunday, cast member Candace Nicholas-Lippman highlighted the significance of television programming about communities of color.
“I want young girls, Black and brown, biracial girls, I want them to be able to see themselves when they look at us on screen, to know that someone that looks like Janelle, you look like her, you can do this, too,” Nicholas-Lippman, who plays Janelle, told Variety.
The new series from Starz is based on the 2018 movie of the same name, written by Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal. The TV show pivots to focus on Ashley, played by Jasmine Cephas Jones, who is left to grapple with the sudden incarceration of longtime boyfriend Miles (Casal). She and their son (Atticus Woodward) move in with Miles’ free-spirited mom Rainey (Helen Hunt) and sex worker half-sister Trish (Jaylen Barron).

“Blindspotting” moves like a song: from opening verse to swelling chorus, emotional bridge and back again. Sometimes, this manifests quite literally, as the characters turn to the camera and burst into emphatic spoken word, turn on their heels and break into a staccato dance, or dream up an entire music video starring themselves. Other times, scenes just rock back and forth between banter and mood swings as everyone grapples with a new twist in their ever-complicating lives. It’s a lyrical series with so much to say that it sometimes stumbles over its words, but always with style.
The new Starz show acts less as an adaptation of Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal’s 2018 film of the same name than a continuation of it. Set six months later, the show picks up with Diggs’ character Collin building a new life somewhere offscreen in Montana as his best friend Miles (Casal...

Conceived just a smidge over two centuries ago, E.T.A. Hoffmann’s 1816 short story “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” has been told and retold so many times over the years — as a ballet by Tchaikovsky, as a novel by Dumas, as a Christmas cartoon by Barbie — that we can reasonably conclude there’s no one right way to reinterpret the beloved classic. That said, there are certainly wrong answers, and Disney’s dazzlingly hollow, superficially PC live-action adaptation, “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms,” veers dangerously close to blowing it, squandering a talented cast and some of the most spectacular design work this side of “My Fair Lady” on a version with precious little dance and even less chemistry.
Conceptually speaking, who better than Disney to make a definitive big-screen version of “The Nutcracker”? And yet, both the film’s title and the peculiar circumstances that led co-helmers Lasse Hallström...

Misty Copeland made history as the American Ballet Theater’s first African-American principal dancer, and now she’s bringing her legacy to the big screen in the new holiday film “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.”
“[‘The Nutcracker’] is the perfect platform for people to be able to step into a movie theater and learn about ballet and maybe see it for the first time,” Copeland told Variety at Monday’s premiere at the Dolby Theater ballroom in Hollywood. “And the fact that it’s a black ballerina in this film is even crazier; this next generation will be able to see me up there and think that’s normal, that’s what a ballerina looks like, and that’s progress.”
Copeland plays the central dancer of the film’s first ballet sequence, which tells the story of how the four realms in the movie were discovered via dance. Watching...

Cinephiles will probably want to sit down for this news: Terrence Malick and Jonny Greenwood are teaming up. The director is executive producing the virtual reality project “Evolver,” which is set to feature original music from Greenwood. The project was originally announced to be included at the upcoming Vr Days Europe, in collaboration with the Rotterdam International Film Festival (via ScreenDaily), but it has since been confirmed not to be heading there next year.
“Evolver” allows users to experience the lifespan of the human condition, from birth to death. The project is produced by House of Secrets, an animation and Vr studio located in the Netherlands, and features new music not only from Greenwood but also from Wu-Tang Clan and more. Greenwood earned an Oscar nomination earlier this year for his work on Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Phantom Thread,” and handled score duties on Lynne Ramsay’s “You Were Never Really Here.

The Tribeca Film Festival again did a top-notch job in programming their Immersive section, with an impressive collection of premieres along with a well-curated collection of some of the best boundary-pushing work in virtual reality, augmented reality, and immersive installations. Nonetheless, for a movie fan wanting to carve out a couple hours to keep abreast of the new technology, a lineup like Tribeca’s can be overwhelming. It’s natural to gravitate toward a Vr experience by Terrence Malick — a familiar director with an well-established two-dimensional visual language, who might help a viewer decode an unfamiliar 360-degree story world.
From a two-dimensional perspective, Malick’s “Together” is similar to a modern-dance performance. For this six-minute 360 degree Vr experience, Facebook teamed the legendary director with Movement Art Is co-founders Jon Boogz and Lil Buck. In “Together,” the two dancers perform in an open black space, their stage defined by flowing white...

Terrence Malick in Virtual Reality: Experience the Director’s Gorgeous First Vr Installation — Watch
For any Terrence Malick fan desperately waiting for release information about the director’s historical drama “Radegund” (which could follow “The Tree of Life” and premiere at Cannes in May), allow the virtual reality project “Together” to be a temporary reprieve. The auteur premiered his first Vr installation at the SXSW Film Festival this year and will bring it to the Tribeca Film Festival next month.
“Together” is a collaboration between Malick and cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, best known for shooting “Brokeback Mountain” and Martin Scorsese films such as “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “Silence.” Prieto earned Oscar nominations for “Brokeback” and “Silence.” The installation was produced by Framestore and Facebook and is described as an intimate look at the “power of human connection.”
The official “Together” synopsis reads: “The piece fuses dance and technology, putting the viewer in the middle of an emotional narrative about breaking down barriers and bringing people closer.

Following last year’s debut of Song to Song at South by Southwest Film Festival, a new project from Terrence Malick premiered at this year’s edition. The Vr experience Together, which is directed by Malick and shot by cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto (Silence, The Wolf of Wall Street, Brokeback Mountain), is a movement piece that incorporates the visuals of the director. If you couldn’t make it to Austin (or Tribeca, where it’ll be shown next, and one can see a new synopsis from them below), a video walkthrough has now been posted by Framestore.
Together fuses storytelling, dance and technology, placing the viewer in the center of a stirring, emotional narrative that explores the power of human connection. Working with Movement Art Is co-founders Jon Boogz and Lil Buck, Palme d’Or winning director Terrence Malick has crafted an immersive experience about breaking down barriers that is brilliantly brought to life through choreography.

After experimenting with his form of boundary-pushing, cinema-as-memory films to great, succesful lengths with his last three narrative features–not to mention Voyage of Time, which we’re still awaiting an actual U.S. release for–Terrence Malick will return to more of a traditional script with his WWII drama Radegund, hopefully releasing later this year. But first, after splicing in avant-garde and experiential touches with his last few films, he’s making the natural step into virtual reality.
Premiering at South by Southwest Festival–where he gave a rare public talk last year–on March 13 is the Vr experience Together, which is directed by Malick and shot by cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto (Silence, The Wolf of Wall Street, Brokeback Mountain). Clocking in at 5 minutes and 46 seconds and featuring music by Simon Franglen, see the synopsis below, as well as the first look above.

At its 2017 Brandcast, YouTube shared statistic about its audience and announced new programming it plans to produce in the coming year. As I exited the annual presentation that evening, the world’s top video site hit me with another intriguing update: It handed out the YouTube Cultural Review, a magazine that featured articles about some members of its creative community.
Rather than focusing on the top 1% of online video channels, the first issue of the YouTube Cultural Review dug deep to offer profiles of creators worth watching in categories like music, gaming, and fashion. Each article included several gorgeous images, and several shorter segments offered lists of channels that YouTube is “keeping an eye on.” Dancer Lil Buck served as the magazine’s cover boy and received a full profile within its pages.
The magazine’s masthead reveals that YouTube devised it in partnership with media company Ace Content and the designers at Siskin Studio.

When it was announced in early 2013 that Benjamin Millepied would take over the Paris Opera Ballet from longtime director Brigitte Lefebvre, something like a seismic wave hit the ballet world: Millepied was an accomplished choreographer, a former principal at New York City Ballet, and had founded a small troupe, the L.A. Dance Project, but he hardly seemed a shoo-in for one of the most visible and intimidating jobs in dance. Now, a year into his directorship, Millepied is choreographing a new ballet for the company and pushing it in new directions. On September 15, he’ll debut a “third stage” for the company — a digital one, showcasing original films inspired by the Opera Garnier and its inhabitants. Millepied spoke to Vulture about surviving year one and creating the new project, and he let us debut one of the films, starring Lil Buck.You’re coming up on the end of...
