Director Jon Erwin Shares a Message of Hope in True Story “Jesus Revolution”

Clashing ideals and collective soul-searching led many Americans to both destructive and hopeful paths in the 1970s. Among Christian churches, opinions were divided over who was permitted to preach the gospel – and who was worthy of listening. A surprising partnership between establishment pastor Chuck Smith (Kelsey Grammer) and hippie preacher Lonnie Frisbee (Jonathan Roumie) created such a feverish following that the movement landed on TIME Magazine and was dubbed a Jesus Revolution.

Director and writer Jon Erwin picked up a copy of the article more than 40 years later and instantly recognized the power of the story...

Chris Hemsworth is Back as Tyler Rake in Thrilling “Extraction 2” Trailer

“A Good Person” Costume Designer Tere Duncan on Dressing Florence Pugh’s Woman in Crisis

Costume designer Tere Duncan leaped into the fray of Zach Braff’s A Good Person with the challenge of crafting the looks for a character in crisis without relying on the usual tropes—baggy sweatpants, mismatched socks, visible stains.

With a name like Ellis Dragon, you know the man is going to have some personality.

“Shrinking” Production Designer Cabot McMullen on Laughing & Crying in Pasadena

Shrinking is that rare hybrid; a laugh-out-loud comedy that turns on a dime into a lump-in-your-throat drama. Created by star Jason Segel, Ted Lasso co-creator Bill Lawrence, and writer (and Ted Lasso star) Brett Goldstein, Shrinking follows Segel’s therapist Jimmy the year after his wife, Tia (Lilan Bowden), has tragically died. Because Jimmy is played by Segel, he’s naturally funny, but we also find him in a personal and professional tailspin, failing his daughter,...
