Anthony Mackie, the star of “Falcon and the Winter Soldier” and the next Captain America, is planning to open his own film production studio in his home town of New Orleans.
News of the facility on a 20-acre lot in East New Orleans was first reported over the weekend by local outlets in New Orleans and confirmed by the city’s mayor Latoya Cantrell, as well as official land records in the city.

Sutton died on Thursday at the Touro Infirmary in her native New Orleans, where she was being treated for the disease. The news was announced in a statement from New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell on Saturday, recognizing Sutton as a fixture in the local theater community for decades.
“The world may recognize her from her performances in movies and on TV — whether it’s ‘Treme’ or ‘Claws,’ or ‘Runaway Jury’ or ‘Queen Sugar’ — but we will always remember her commanding stage presence, her richly portrayed characters, and the warm heart she shared with her fellow cast and crew in productions such as ‘4000 Miles’ and ‘A Raisin in the Sun,'” Cantrell said. “May she rest in God’s perfect peace.”
As a TV actress, Sutton most recently appeared on HBO’s “Lovecraft County” and OWN’s “Queen Sugar.

Though Covid-19 may be complicating celebrations and gatherings for this upcoming holiday season, the City of New Orleans is taking safety precautions into 2021.
Beau Tidwell, Communications director for New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell, stated during a press conference on Tuesday that while Mardi Gras celebrations aren’t necessarily cancelled, the traditional practices are sure to look different next year. The city can’t exactly cancel all celebrations of Mardi Gras, given that it is a religious holiday, but those looking to don their beads for the large crowds may have to modify their plans for the February event.
According to the official New Orleans website, Mardi Gras celebrations in 2021 will not feature the typical crowded parades.
“Parades of any kind will not be permitted this year because large gatherings have proven to be super spreader events of the Covid-19 virus,” the city’s Faq reads.
In addition to modifying their Mardi Gras plans,...

Thinking back to when the pandemic shut down all TV and film productions in mid-March, NCIS: New Orleans cast member Cch Pounder, who plays Loretta, tells TVLine, “We were working, when everybody got called to a central location on set; I thought it was somebody’s birthday, nothing more than that!

When Goldenvoice, the concert promoter behind Coachella, postponed the giant music festival until October over coronavirus fears, many fans understandably assumed that it meant the pandemic would be a crippling, but temporary, speed bump for the live music industry. As other major festivals like Bonnaroo and Summerfest followed suit and announced their push toward the fall, the feeling that normality would return after the summer intensified.
