Stunt Coordinator/Stunt Person

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. Creating the stunts for 68 Whiskey, the Paramount Network comedy/drama about a team of medics battling to save lives while keeping their sanity in the midst of constant carnage and danger, is giving her an opportunity to use the range of skills she’s developed over her long career.

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 Watchmenwhich 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.

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 Batmanand 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 ManChazelle 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).

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.

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.

See How a Novel Technology Helped Create The Mandalorian’s Hyper-Realistic Worlds

Disney+’s The Mandalorian looked so ravishingly good it was easy to forget it wasn’t a Star Wars feature film sliced and diced into a series. The feature film-level look was achieved primarily through a new technology called StageCraft. What StageCraft does is create a hyper-realistic, reactive environment that moves with the camera. In a new behind-the-scenes video from Industrial Light & Magic, you’ll see how The Mandalorian used this tech to create the many worlds our titular bounty hunter plied his trade on.

Future Man’s Cinematographer Sylvaine Dufaux on Hulu’s Hilarious Time Tripper

In Hulu‘s Future Man, a gent by the unimprovable name of Josh Futturman (The Hunger Games‘ Josh Hutcherson) finds himself in a fairly extreme circumstance. Josh is a janitor by day and a bigtime gamer by night, and his life is reasonable and normal until it’s suddenly very unreasonable and abnormal. He’s recruited by a pair of time travelers (played by Derek Wilson and Eliza Coupe) and tasked with traveling through time himself to save humanity.

HBO’s Beforeigners Trailer Imagines Vikings in Modern-Day Oslo

Any new HBO series is worthy of notice, especially when that series has a grand, ambitious conceit that sounds a little crazy on first blush. That’s the case for the premium channel’s new show Beforeigners, which imagines Vikings (and folks from the Stone Age, as well as the 1800s) appearing all over the world.

Beforeigners is mainly set in modern-day Oslo, with drama centered around a police investigation.

A new Stranger Things Season 4 Teaser Reveals That Hopper’s Alive

At the end of Stranger Things‘ epic third season, it appeared that Hawkins Sheriff Jim Hopper (David Harbour) had paid the ultimate price in order to save his beloved Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) and the rest of Hawkins from a nefarious Russian plot. Granted, Harbour’s one of the series most beloved characters and a mid-credits scene seemed to imply the courageous grump might still be alive. Yet we couldn’t be certain—until now.
