Serie

Apple TV+ har 6. august premiere på en ny komedieserie af og med Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Titlen på serien er Mr. Corman og serien er på 10 episoder.

De første tre afsnit frigives på premieredatoen, mens de resterende følger ugentligt derefter.

Det handler Mr. Corman om

Apple beskriver serien således: “Mr. Corman” follows the days and nights of Josh Corman, played by Gordon-Levitt, an artist at heart but not by trade. A career in music hasn’t panned out, and he teaches fifth grade at a public school in the San Fernando Valley. His ex-fiancé Megan has moved out and his high school buddy Victor has moved in. He knows he has a lot to be thankful for, but finds himself struggling nevertheless through anxiety, loneliness and a sinking suspicion that he sucks as a person. Darkly funny, oddly beautiful and deeply heartfelt, this relatable dramedy speaks for our contemporary generation of 30-somethings – rich with good intentions, poor with student loans and yearning to become real grown-ups sometime before they die.

Udover Joseph Gordon-Levitt, så medvirker Arturo Castro, Debra Winger, Bobby Hall a.k.a. Logic, Alexander Jo, Juno Temple, Jamie Chung, Shannon Woodward og Hector Hernandez.

En brudgom forsvinder under sin polterabend. Kriminalkommissær Roy Grace kontaktes af sin ven og kollega Branson, som efterforsker sagen. Noget føles forkert, og Branson har brug for hjælp. Grace har været gennem en hård tid. Hans kone forsvandt for seks år siden, og hans uortodokse arbejdsmetoder har givet ham problemer. Men den erfarne strømers instinkter fejler ikke noget, og Branson håber, at han kan få hul på sagen.
’Grace: Dødenkelt’ er baseret på den første roman i krimiforfatteren Peter James’ populære serie om Roy Grace. Der er yderligere en film på vej om den stædige politimand og formentlig følger der flere. Hovedrollen spilles af John Simm, mens filmen har manuskript af Russell Lewis, hovedmanden bag serien ’Unge Morse’.

The War of the Worlds er produceret af FOX – og bygger på H.G. Wells’ novelle fra 1898 om en invasion fra rummet. Xee har sendt 1. sæson eksklusivt og det samme gælder sæson 2, der får premiere 30. maj kort efter den amerikanske premiere.

I sæson 1 opfangede astronomer en transmission fra en anden galakse, og det blev det endegyldigt bevis på intelligent liv i rummet. Verdens befolkning ventede i åndeløs spænding på yderligere kontakt. Og det kom vi til at fortryde, for få dage efter blev menneskeheden udslettet; kun smågrupper af mennesker var efterladt i en skræmmende og tom verden.

I sæson 1 episke afslutning så vi de overlevendes forsøg på at vende slaget mod deres angribere en gang for alle, hvor hovederpsoner som Mokrani og Catherine forberedte sig på deres livs kamp, mens Emily fik syner af fremtiden.

I sæson 2, der starter med afsnit 9, kommer vi ind i historien flere måneder efter Emilys forsvinden. De overlevende i London planlægger at gå til kamp mod rumvæsnerne, der af en eller anden grund ligner dem på en prik. Der er lettelse at spore, da Tom finder en svækket Emily ombord på et af rumvæsnernes skibe, men efter det lange fravær opdager Emily hurtigt, at ikke alle er sikre på, at hun er på deres side. I mellemtiden når Chloe, Sacha og Jonathan til London, mens gruppen i observatoriet bliver chokeret, da et af rumvæsnerne ankommer, døden nær og i en desperat søgen efter nogen. Men hvorfor er dens søgen efter én mand så vigtig?

I aftenens andet afsnit på Xee, som er seriens afsnit 10, bliver Bill mere og mere bekymret over lighederne mellem Emily og rumvæsnerne, mens Zoe fornemmer, at det kan bruges til deres fordel. Det står dog hurtigt klart, at Adina ikke lod Emily vende tilbage til hendes familie uden nogle alvorlige forventninger til hende. Micah afslører mere om, hvordan rumvæsnerne har rejst gennem rummet, men inden han bliver helt rask igen, rammer et angreb på observatoriet Catherine hårdt. Jonathan genforenes endelig med sin familie, men de får ikke en rolig stund, da Emily retter et rystende angreb mod Bill.

Serien er en nyfortolkning af War Of The Worlds med blandt andre Gabriel Byrne og Elizabeth McGovern i hoverollerne sammen med Daisy Edgar-Jones og Bayo Gbadamosi. Denne tredje tv-fortolkning af den berømte novelle fra 1898 er skrevet af Howard Overman.

(Copenhagen, Denmark – 28th April, 2021) Today Disney+ revealed that the highly anticipated, multiple Emmy award-winning anthology series ‘Genius: Aretha’ starring Cynthia Erivo (“Harriet”, “The Color Purple”) will premiere in Denmark on Friday 4th June on Disney+.

“Genius” is National Geographic’s critically acclaimed anthology series that dramatises the fascinating stories of the world’s most brilliant innovators and their extraordinary achievements with their volatile, passionate and complex personal relationships. This third season will explore Aretha Franklin’s musical genius and incomparable career, as well as the immeasurable impact and lasting influence she has had on music and culture around the world.

Without knowing how to read music, Franklin taught herself to play the piano; at the young age of 12, she began to record songs and sing on gospel tours with her father. She signed her first record deal at age 18 with Columbia Records. In 1966, she moved to Atlantic Records, where she recorded many of her most iconic songs. In 1979, she began a 40-year friendship and partnership with Clive Davis, which produced a number of hit songs, including the highest charting and bestselling song of her career, “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me),” a duet with George Michael. The legendary singer is one of the world’s bestselling musical artists of all time, with more than 75 million records sold globally during her career. Her voice was identified as a “natural resource” by her home state of Michigan.

The previously announced cast includes triple threat Tony®-, Emmy®- and GRAMMY®Award-winning Cynthia Erivo as Aretha Franklin who will be performing many songs from Franklin’s rich catalogue; the Emmy-winning Courtney B Vance(“The People V. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story”) as Aretha’s father, CL Franklin; Malcolm Barrett (“Timeless,” “Preacher”) as Ted White, Franklin’s first husband and business manager; David Cross (“Mr. Show,” “Arrested Development”) as legendary music producer Jerry Wexler, who guided Franklin as she developed into a confident singer and commercial success; Patrice Covington (“The Color Purple”, “Ain’t Misbehavin’”) and Rebecca Naomi Jones (“Oklahoma!,” “The Big Sick”) portray Erma and Carolyn Franklin, respectively, as Aretha’s sisters and frequent background singers, who supported and collaborated with their famous sibling; Steven Norfleet(“Watchmen,” “Dynasty”) as older brother Cecil Franklin, who stepped in as Aretha’s manager following her divorce from Ted White; veteran actress Pauletta Washington (“Beloved,” “She’s Gotta Have It”) as Aretha’s nurturing and loving paternal grandmother, Rachel; Omar J.
