No one ever said filming in New York City was easy, especially during a pandemic. Just ask the showrunners behind Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” or the producer of Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming HBO Max limited series “Full Circle.”
“We had an incident yesterday on our set in Queens: a crazy person grabbed a grip by the hair and was trying to take a swing at her. Thank God she got away and he ran off,” “Circle” producer Jonathan Filley said in late September. “And we just had a car rear-end another car, which ran into our electric truck. … There’s a lot of mental instability in the city these days.”
This wouldn’t be a shock to “Maisel” creator Amy Sherman-Palladino or her fellow showrunner, Daniel Palladino. who had a hazardous Washington Square Park shoot in spring 2021. “There had been a lot of anti-police protests, and weirdos were encroaching on our set,...

Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne passed through the Toronto Film Festival Monday morning where they discussed their true-crime thriller The Good Nurse.
The film centers on Amy Loughren (Chastain), a nurse who starts to believe that her colleague Charlie Cullen (Redmayne) is responsible for a series of mysterious patient deaths and risks her own life to uncover the truth.
“The thing I liked so much about the film is that we see so often films about a serial killer or a story and its fetishized,” Chastain said while discussing why she joined the project. “You’d see him injecting the bags and I’ve always felt a little dirty watching that stuff. I don’t wanna celebrate or have the media glorify what happened to another human being. I wanna celebrate humanity, which is why I was excited about this.”
Discussing her collaboration with Redmayne, she added: “I’ve always...

Netflix has a knack for getting a lot of very talented people together in movies that seemingly just wouldn't get made at a traditional studio anymore. Case in point, "The Good Nurse" is a movie that features two Oscar winners in the form of Jessica Chastain ("It Chapter Two") and Eddie Redmayne ("The Theory of Everything") front-and-center in a thriller that is based on true events.
As the title implies, they are nurses working at a hospital but, as it turns out, only one of them is good and the other might actually be very bad. For a movie with such a seemingly innocuous title, the body count certainly stacks up in a hurry here. Let's take a gander, shall we?
The Good Nurse Trailer Is Full Of Murder And Intrigue
Things don't take long to get a little twisted as Chastain's character Amy meets up with Redmayne's Charlie at a coffee shop.

"When I think of 'Jaws' I think about courage and stupidity. And I think of both of those things existing underwater." That's a quote from Steven Spielberg on his time directing the 1975 horror classic, which turns 40 this Saturday. Proving that sometimes greatness can spring from unimaginable misery, the film was famously a nightmare to shoot, with numerous production problems including the frequent malfunctioning of "Bruce," the collective name given to the film's trio of animatronic sharks. But don't take my word for it. Below are ten hellish behind-the-scenes straight from the mouths of those involved that will make you wonder how they managed to finish the film at all. 1. This is what happens when you hire a stuntman with no diving experience When husband-and-wife shark experts Ron and Valerie Taylor were commissioned to get footage of actual Great Whites attacking a cage (for the famous Richard Dreyfuss underwater sequence), the...

NEW YORK -- A capable, clear and highly accessible version of Shakespeare's most-performed play, this new version of "Hamlet" might seem extraneous considering the plethora of cinematic adaptations in recent years. Originally shown on television on the new Odyssey cable channel, the film recently received its U.S. theatrical premiere at New York's enterprising the Screening Room. Still, despite the film's qualities, the small screen would seem to be its natural home.
The film is co-directed by Eric Simonson and actor Campbell Scott and stars the latter, who essayed the role in stage productions at San Diego's Old Globe in 1990 and Boston's Huntington Theatre in 1996. Running a bit under three hours, it is a faithful but abridged version of the text, unlike the full-length Kenneth Branagh film of a few years back. It is seemingly set in the latter part of the last century, on a vaguely Southern-style plantation (it was actually filmed at a mansion on Long Island).
The film was presumably made to preserve Scott's performance, and a fine one it is. The actor delivers an impassioned rendition that stresses the character's deep anger, cunning intelligence and highly developed sense of comic irony, while not playing him as overtly mad. His line readings are utterly clear and intelligible, and he wisely avoids overly declamatory renditions of the more famous speeches.
The rest of the cast matches his tastefulness. Best of the supporting players is Blair Brown, who offers a complex and fascinating performance as Gertrude. Among the other standouts are Jamey Sheridan as an impressively masculine and forceful Claudius; Lisa Gay Hamilton as a less vulnerable than usual Ophelia; Roscoe Lee Browne, who uses his deep, resonant voice to excellent effect as Polonious; and Marcus Giamatti and an unlikely Michael Imperioli as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
The film, which uses extensive close-ups of its leading actor, is capably directed, with the major set pieces staged in brisk and efficient fashion and little stylistic excess. While it offers no particularly revelatory interpretation of the classic text, its faithfulness and straightforwardness will make it particularly valuable to any number of students who will no doubt use it as a video version of Cliffs Notes.
