Below, check out the best moments from IndieWire’s night on the town. Kaitlyn Dever Dishes If ‘Dopesick’ Will Land a Second Season The “Dopesick” Emmy nominee noted that author Beth Macy’s follow-up book “Raising Lazarus” could provide context for a second season of the Hulu series, which landed lead actor Michael Keaton his first Emmy win. “Beth Macy who wrote ‘Dopesick,’ she’s also writing a new book, titled ‘Raising Lazarus’ and it talks about what we do now moving forward,” Dever said....

Will they stay together? Will they break up again? Will they harbor minor or major regrets over whatever decision they ultimately make, only to look back on it in 20 years and wonder, “What if…?” Stop me if you’ve heard this before — actually, don’t. Yes, “Bridge and Tunnel” dwells heavily on the common coming-of-age choice between professional dreams and personal happiness; the first four episodes repeatedly consider whether it’s best to stick with what’s working and live a happy, simple life, or run blindly toward your unexplored passions, not knowing where you’ll end up (or with whom)....

He became a director a long time ago — he made “Chelsea Walls” in 2001 — and two decades later, his identity lies in being a creator as much as an actor. Showtime series “The Good Lord Bird” made Hawke a showrunner in 2020 and in his new HBO Max docuseries, “The Last Movie Stars,” Hawke turns his focus to the elusive careers and romance of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward — although the subject may as well be himself....

SXSW hit “Everything Everywhere All at Once” was originally conceived as a vehicle for martial arts icon Chan, according to directing duo Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan (aka Daniels) via The Hollywood Reporter. Yet the duo eventually decided to cast Michelle Yeoh in the lead role as a person who grapples with the ripple effects of (multiple) twisted multiverses while being audited by the IRS. “At first we were like, ‘Action movie, going to star a dude,’” Scheinert said....

“Pearl” is a prequel set in 1919, starring Mia Goth in one of the two roles she originated in “X” — but the form of the film changes to suit its titular character’s origin story. It’s one that’s much more tied to old styles of shooting, where composition, framing, and lighting can tell us everything about how Pearl finds herself trapped on her parents’ farm without the camera having to move an inch....

Timoner’s goal was to make the cameras as invisible as possible, and even she forgot they were there most of the time. “It felt like for the first time, after all of these years of making films, filmmaking was there for me,” she said. “It was there as a safety blanket. I knew that I wouldn’t lose Daddy totally.” No one was operating the DSLR cameras but Timoner, who placed them at vantage points where they could capture the drama without interfering with it....

Andrew Garfield, Tom Holland, and Tobey Maguire rekindled their MCU “brotherhood” to recreate the iconic Spider-Man pointing meme in honor of the official “Spider-Man: No Way Home” digital release date. See below. Though you can still catch the film in theaters, Sony Pictures announced that the record-breaking blockbuster will arrive on digital March 22 and on 4K UHD and Blu-ray April 12. The film placed all three iterations of Spider-Man side by side thanks to a glitch in the multiverse....

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “The Walking Dead” focused on averting the apocalypse. Other shows, like “Ghost Whisperer,” zeroed in on the spooky. But in today’s TV landscape, death is something we’re far more comfortable with, and the no longer living aren’t treated as monsters or even as metaphors. Instead, they’re used as tools to investigate a wide array of topics as varied as feminism, political disenfranchisement, and trauma. And in the case of “The Good Place,” all of the above and more....

First created in 2005, the “God of War” franchise focuses on Kratos, a Spartan warrior who becomes the god of war after taking revenge on the original god Ares for the death of his family, and eventually battles the entire Greek pantheon. The Prime Video series will be based on the two most recent games in the franchise: 2018’s “God of War” and last month’s “God of War: Ragnarök,” which saw Kratos leave Greece for the Norse realm of Midgard....

Former schoolteacher Nancy Stokes (Emma Thompson) is about as comfortable with her sexuality as she is with the aging body that has been forced to suppress it her entire life. So when this recent widow splurges a chunk of her savings on a night in a hotel with London’s finest male escort — hoping that he might introduce her to the elusive orgasm that her late husband never bothered to look for, and that she’s always been too ashamed to find on her own — a part of her is naturally repulsed by how well things turn out....

It’s a sentence only a few Hollywood couples could believably say. But for Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, who indeed co-wrote Warner Bros. and Mattel’s upcoming “Barbie” adventure starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken, it was a talk that needed having. “I had met Margot a long time ago,” Gerwig explains of her journey to the “Barbie” director’s chair on a new episode of Dua Lipa’s podcast, “At Your Service....

The “Indiana Jones” icon is officially joining the Apple TV+ comedy “Shrinking” as a series regular. The 10-episode series is written by Jason Segel, who also executive-produces alongside Emmy Award-winning “Ted Lasso” co-creator Bill Lawrence and Emmy Award-winning “Ted Lasso” star, writer, and co-executive producer Brett Goldstein. “Shrinking” follows grieving therapist Jimmy (Segel), who starts telling his clients what he really thinks about them. “Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge, tumultuous changes to people’s lives…including his own,” the official series description reads....

The “My Policeman” director required stars Styles, Emma Corrin, and David Dawson to view a slew of films to prepare for queer love scenes onscreen. “As a gay man, I thought, if I’m going to direct this film, I do at least want to somehow make sure that — if I’m lucky enough to carry on living in another 10, 15, 20 years or so — I want to be able to look at the film constantly and go, ‘I did what I set out to do in terms of intimacy,’” Grandage told Entertainment Weekly....

“When Heath wanted to sell you on something, you could tell in a second,” Helgeland said. “He would assume this kind of boyishness to him; he’d become nine years old, like out of a Dickens story, like the Artful Dodger.” Ledger’s pitch to use “Golden Years” instead of “Get Down Tonight” was hard to resist. As the director remembered, “Heath got this big grin on his face. He goes, ‘It’s the same tempo....

Yes, beginning in 2023, you will be able to host your Zoom meetings at an AMC, renting out 75 to 150-seat theaters so that everyone in your company can gather in one spot and admire the view from your boss’ underlit bedroom, now shown in AMC’s state-of-the-art picture and sound technology. You can even have multiple Zoom Rooms at different theater locations across several cities, all connected into the meeting and can rent out the space for three hours at a time (just make sure the free version of the meeting doesn’t automatically time out after 40 minutes)....

This frenetic pace stems from a 13-year partnership with McKay, first as a producer through McKay and Will Ferrell’s Gary Sanchez Productions and now through Hyperobject Industries, McKay’s three-year-old company in which Messick is a partner. McKay’s latest film, comedy/crisis allegory “Don’t Look Up,” landed four nominations for Picture, Original Screenplay (McKay), Original Score (Nicholas Britell), and Editing (Hank Corwin). Oscars often ignore comedies, but as evidenced by “Broadcast News,” “Dr....

“I was 100 perfect working on a specific lens for each feeling,” Peters said. “So we have three sets of lenses and two or three separate special lenses that radiates throughout the series.” For the opening of the show, where we meet Ptolemy puttering around his cluttered apartment, Peters used a set of “Falcon” lenses from L.A. shop Camtec, which Peters explained retain a high level of sharpness but don’t pop a lot of color....

Space fans will be able to watch the historic event from the comfort of their homes via NASA’s official YouTube page. (NASA will also offer a Spanish-language stream here.) Though the Perseverance rover is equipped with cameras and microphones, NASA will not be able to offer a live feed of the rover’s actual landing due to data delays during its descent. That said, NASA will still offer live feeds of its mission control room from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif....

Iger has long been a fan of the service; he’s the guy that bought Fox’s one-third (and thus, controlling interest) as part of the studio’s mega-acquisition in early 2019, about a year before Bob Chapek succeeded Iger. One former Hulu insider told IndieWire that during his final months as CEO, Iger indicated the streaming service (a key part of the Disney Bundle alongside Disney+ and ESPN+) had his full support as a standalone entity....

In agreement with SAG-AFTRA and GLAAD, IMDb users can now hide their birth dates, birth names, and more from both IMDb and IMDbPro for free. SAG-AFTRA sponsored a California State bill in 2017 asking sites like IMDb to remove or not post actors’ ages or birthdays upon request. The bill was signed into law by then-Governor Jerry Brown but was later struck down by a federal judge. GLAAD stated that publishing transgender people’s birth names without permission is an invasion of privacy and could lead to discrimination....
