As Americans race to get their Covid-19 vaccinations, Jeremy Strong will star in a timely film called “Splendid Solution” as Jonas Salk, the man who researched and developed one of the first successful polio vaccines.
Bron Studios and 21 Laps are teaming on the film that’s based on Jeffrey Kluger’s New York Times best-selling book, “Splendid Solution: Jonas Salk and the Conquest of Polio.” The book was first published in 2006 and tells the true story of Dr. Salk’s quest to create the polio vaccine as the illness ravaged the country. It charts the seven years up until April 1955 when he announced the successful serum and was hailed a miracle-worker by many.
Gillian Weeks will write the screenplay for “Splendid Solution,” with Shawn Levy and Dan Levine producing for 21 Laps, with Aaron L. Gilbert producing for Bron. Becca Edelman and Emily Feher are managing the project.

Succession Emmy winner and The Trial of the Chicago 7 star Jeremy Strong is set to play Dr. Jonas Salk, the inventor of the polio vaccine, in the Bron and 21 Laps feature production Splendid Solution.
The project will be adapted by Gillian Weeks from Jeffrey Kluger’s New York Times bestseller, which tells the true story of Salk’s triumphant quest to create the vaccine as polio ravaged the U.S.
Salk’s battle against the virus, his perseverance and eventual triumph made him a cultural hero and icon for a generation.
Splendid Solution will be the second film adaptation of Kluger’s work, the author’s Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13 having served as the inspiration for Ron Howard’s double-Oscar-winning 1995 blockbuster Apollo 13 ($355.2M WW box office).
Shawn Levy (Free Guy) and Dan Levine (Arrival) will produce on behalf of 21 Laps Entertainment, with Becca Edelman and Emily Feher managing the project.

In this edition of Canon Of Film, we take a look back at Ron Howard‘s ‘Apollo 13’ in honor of ‘Solo‘ and ‘Arrested Development‘ season 5.
Apollo 13 (1995)
Director: Ron Howard
Screenplay: William Broyles Jr. and Al Reinert based on the book “Lost Moon,” by Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger
For some reason, certain films are almost too familiar for me to talk about well. Even great films. ‘Apollo 13‘, in America anyway, is one of those films for a lot of people, me included. A few films are like this, that they ingrain so much of the best of Americana that they almost exist outside of their greatness as a film. In fact, when they are so ingrained, the greatness of a film, sometimes gets overshadowed. It’s almost impossible to see the amazing technical achievements now, partially because they’re hidden in plain sight so brilliantly, recreating images and of 1970 space technology,...

Interstellar just got the cover of Time magazine. Was it because Warner Bros., which spun off Time Inc this year, is a co-partner with Paramount Pictures? Maybe, so. Regardless, it’s still a really nice piece of marketing for the Christopher Nolan-directed sci-fi action/drama which is bowing next Tuesday on 250 locals. It rolls out wide November 7.
The last time the news magazine put a movie on its cover was for Zero Dark Thirty on February 4, 2013 when it featured director Kathryn Bigelow. Before that, it was Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln on November 5, 2012. The reach of the magazine is 3.3 million in print circulation … so that’s a lot of eyes.
Time editor at large Jeffrey Kluger, who co-authored Apollo 13 with astronaut Jim Lovell, penned the cover story.

She used to be known as a beautiful blonde actress but these days Jenny McCarthy is more of a punching bag for both sides of the vaccine debate.
The “View” babe published an op-ed in the Chicago Sun Times in which she lamented her false “anti-vaccine” classification, insisting that she’s actually pro-vaccine.
McCarthy pleaded, "This is not a change in my stance nor is it a new position I have recently adopted. I've never told anyone to not vaccinate. My beautiful son, Evan, inspired this mother to question the 'one size fits all' philosophy of the recommended vaccine schedule.”
“I embarked on this quest not only for myself and my family, but for countless parents who shared my desire for knowledge that could lead to options and alternate schedules, but never to eliminate the vaccines. I believe in the importance of a vaccine program, and I believe parents have...

Angelina Jolie has landed on the cover of Time magazine. "This week, when a woman known for her powerfully iconic beauty announced that she had undergone an elective double mastectomy to reduce her genetically high risk of breast cancer, it was a cultural and medical earthquake -- a revelation so arresting it became the subject of Time’s newest cover story," writes senior editor Jeffrey Kluger. Titled "The Angelina Effect," the story examines how Jolie's revelation puts genetic testing -- which found she carried the cancer-related BRCA1 gene -- in the spotlight.

[Update: We spoke with Time science editor Jeffrey Kluger about the cover -- check below for his comments.]
Time magazine — which, like EW, is published by Time Inc. — is making waves with its latest issue, which features a photo of Jamie Lynne Grumet breast-feeding her 3-year-old son. Grumet practices “attachment parenting,” a growing movement that advocates extended breast-feeding, co-sleeping (that’s sharing a bed), and physically carrying one’s children via sling whenever possible.
Twitter users and bloggers have been hotly debating the cover since it debuted yesterday, arguing over whether it’s admirably bold or inappropriate.
Time managing editor Rick Stengel has stood by his magazine’s photo: “I think it’s provocative,” he said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe this week.

London, Sept 28: 95 per cent of parents have a favourite child, but few mothers and fathers would dream of admitting it, a new book has claimed.
Writer Jeffrey Kluger, who dedicates a chapter of The Sibling Effect to favouritism, believes those who don't admit to loving one child more are lying, reports the Daily Mail.
"'It is my belief that 95 percent of the parents in the world have a favourite child, and the other five percent are lying," he writes.
Kluger, however, plays safe so as to not upset his own daughters, aged eight and ten, adding: "The only exceptions are my wife and me."e says studies show.
