New iPhone-Filmed Conan Episodes Will Return on March 30
We’ll take all the good news we can get at this point. We all know that with the spread of COVID-19, productions are shutting down throughout the entertainment industry. That has included every late-night talk show. Late night hosts are still producing content, mind you, often in an effort to help viewers understand the importance of social distancing and to offer a little levity in this time of crisis. Now we’ve got the very welcome news that one late-night host,
The Below-the-Line Talent Who Make the Films & Shows we Love
With the spread of COVID-19 affecting the entertainment industry in unprecedented ways, below-the-line filmmakers are facing the prospect of weeks, or months, without income, some without health insurance or paid sick leave. These are the folks who make the films and television shows we love possible. They’re costume designers and assistant directors, gaffers, grips, and animators. They’re makeup artists and hairstylists, they’re art directors and location scouts, they’re the people who design the sets,
Studios & Stars Offer Social Distancing Education & Entertainment
Comedians, musicians, actors, and film and television studios have begun stepping up to try and add a little levity, light, and a sense of much-needed solidarity as we all deal with COVID-19.

Westworld Cinematographer & Director Paul Cameron on Season 3’s Big Time Ambitions
“As a DP,” says director of photography Paul Cameron, ASC, “you tend to walk into a location and visualize it and pitch it to a director.” But what happens if you are the director? Well, he allows, “I may have been a little stronger in pitching my ideas” back to the cinematographer.

How Coronavirus is Affecting Below the Line Filmmakers
As COVID-19 has spread across the globe, hundreds of governments are attempting to deal with the rapidly spreading pandemic. The first and most important factor in assessing the damage that coronavirus has caused is measured in human lives.

Stunt Coordinator Kathy Jarvis Drives the Action in Paramount’s TV Series 68 Whiskey
A television series set on a military base during the height of the Afghan war is where you’ll find one of the best stunt coordinators currently working on television—Kathy Jarvis.

Jude Law Stars in 1st Trailer for HBO’s Intriguing, Creepy new Limited Series The Third Day
The post-Game of Thrones HBO has been a very interesting place. When the premium channel said goodbye to its flagship series, it had a slew of well-crafted new series primed and ready to go. We loved Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen, which pulled off the remarkable feat of creating a show worthy of its iconic source material by giving us something entirely new. Another excellent adaptation, The Outsider (based on a Stephen King novel),
Chernobyl Creator Tackling Adaptation of Post-Apocalyptic Video Game The Last of Us for HBO
Well, this is interesting. Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin will be developing the adaptation of the popular post-apocalyptic video game The Last of Us for HBO. Mazin, who of course knows a thing or two about real-life dystopias (Chernobyl was, among many other things, one of the most convincing portrayals of what an actual apocalypse might look like), will be taking on the adaptation with the game’s writer,
The Byrde Family Doubles Down in the Ozark Season Three Trailer
Netflix‘s Ozark, created by Bill Dubuque and Mark Williams, and starring Jason Bateman and Laura Linney as the perpetually stressed, incredibly competent Marty and Wendy Byrde, has just released its season three trailer. For the past two seasons, Ozark has been one of TV’s most reliably panic attack-inducing series. For those of you who haven’t dipped your toe into this deliciously diabolical crime drama, this series is certainly binge-worthy.
Watch the Stranger Things Season 4 Table Read
Watching the Stranger Things cast sit down for a season four table read is a great way to spend a minute. Sure, this is the briefest of glimpses and doesn’t really give us much new information, but, we’re still feeling appreciative after their Valentine’s Day gift. You remember the gift, the one where the Duffer Brothers revealed that Chief Hopper is still alive. In this new video, you’ll see David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown,
James Lipton, Longtime Host of Inside the Actors Studio, Has Passed Away
If The Credits were to have a patron saint, we couldn’t do better than Inside the Actors Studios host James Lipton. The thoughtful, probing interviewer of some of film’s most talented directors, screenwriters, and, as the show’s title suggests, performers passed away on Monday at the age of 93. Lipton’s knowledge about the craft of filmmaking, and his focus on craft over gossip, made him one of the most trusted and insightful interviewers of the past two decades.
The Cast of Gentefied on Netflix’s Glorious New Series

It follows them as they confront the gentrification of their neighborhood, and what it means to them as individuals,
Here’s the Trailer For The Batman Director’s new Sci-Fi Series Tales of the Loop
The new trailer for Amazon Studios Tales From the Loop is a gem. It’s surprisingly low on dark visions of some future apocalypse or robots run amok. Instead, this understated but visually arresting 97-second glimpse gives us a taste of a show the streaming service is hailing as a “groundbreaking drama series.” Tales From The Loop comes from Matt Reeves, director of the upcoming The Batman, and is inspired by the art of Simon Stålenhag.
Netflix Reveals the First Teaser for Damien Chazelle’s The Eddy
We know by now that writer/director Damien Chazelle is one of our most music-obsessed filmmakers. His breakout film Whiplash and his follow-up La La Land proved Chazelle is deeply passionate about music. While he went on to make the thrilling space epic First Man, Chazelle is back with a music-centered limited series for Netflix, The Eddy. Chazelle created the series (and directs a few episodes) in which we follow a jazz pianist and Paris club owner named Elliot Udo (André Holland).

This Hidden Westworld Season 3 Trailer Reveals Totally Different Footage
Remember how last Thursday, HBO dropped this sensational new Westworld trailer? It turns out, there’s an entirely different trailer for season three that reveals entirely different footage.

Your Definitive Star Wars Timeline is Here
With Star Wars: The Clone Wars returning for its final season on Disney+, now’s a good time to get a definitive timeline on exactly when each of our major Star Wars sagas took place. Sure, you can always Google to find out where each new Star Wars installment fits, but getting something official obviates that need. To that end, we can thank Disney+ for tweeting out an official timeline that situates all the feature films,
Here’s Everything New on HBO This March
March is going to be a big month for HBO. Not that the premium cable channel doesn’t try to make every month big; it hasn’t slowed down—at all—since Game of Thrones bowed. Ever since the flagship series ended its run, HBO launched the epic fantasy His Dark Materials, and Damon Lindelof’s spectacular Watchmen, just to name two major new series. This March will see some of the most eagerly anticipated series bowing or returning to HBO.
Westworld’s Season Three Trailer is Thrilling
HBO has just released Westworld‘s season three trailer, and we are enthused. One of TV’s most ambitious sci-fi series returns, and it appears to be bigger and bolder than ever.
“I was born into this world,” Evan Rachel Wood’s Dolores says at the opening of the trailer. “And my first memories of it are pain. For my kind, there was one place we were never allowed to go,
