LOS ANGELES -- Editor Patrick J. Don Vito’s latest collaboration with director/writer/producer Peter Farrelly is quite a departure from what’s been their comedic norm. But this new turn in some respects wasn’t all that surprising to Don Vito who recalled telling his wife when he was working on the Farrelly TV pilot for Cuckoo that he’d love to see the director get a chance to tackle drama. “ Cuckoo was a crazy comedy but Peter’s conversations in the cutting room showed a real depth and understanding of...

NEW YORK (AP) -- Despite widespread attention and protest over gender inequality in film, a new study finds that the number of female directors in the top 250 domestic grossing films last year dipped to 8 percent. That was down 3 percentage points from 2017, according to the 21st annual Celluloid Ceiling report released Thursday by the Center for the Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University. It was even below the 9 percent level achieved 20 years earlier in 1998. Researchers found slight gains...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- To misquote "A Star Is Born," awards shows were far from shallow in 2018. Many confronted sexual misconduct in the entertainment industry head on, but as a new year kicks off with the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday one question lingers: Will it continue for another year? For an event that's more known for its boozy moments than promoting social causes, the Golden Globe Awards went all in as the first major show of the #MeToo era last year. It embraced the newly formed Time's Up Legal Defense...

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) -- Bradley Cooper, Spike Lee, Olivia Colman and other Oscar contenders kicked off Hollywood’s 2019 awards season with an emotional trip to the desert city of Palm Springs. The Palm Springs International Film Festival gala was a familiar setting for Cooper, who received director of the year honors on Thursday. He had presented the same trophy to his “Silver Linings Playbook” director David O. Russell six years ago, and filmed key “A Star is Born” scenes in the area. First-time director Cooper...

NEW YORK (AP) -- For so long, movies around the holidays have been merry and bright. Lately, more and more seem murderous and designed to fright. Take this winter, where, of course, sugary options abounded, such as "Mary Poppins Returns" on the big screen and "A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding" on TV. Then there's the post-apocalyptic survival story "Bird Box." Released just days before Christmas on Netflix, the Sandra Bullock-led thriller is about monstrous entities that compel any human who sees them to...

NEW YORK (AP) -- Fans of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" know that the show's clothes deliver eye-popping color and to-die-for style, but they might not know the costumes represent more than 1950's couture. They also meticulously reflect each character's mood and development. Costume designer Donna Zakowska said she thought about how each character changed from season one of the hit show to season two, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video earlier this month. Zakowska started out studying painting at Ecole des...

LOS ANGELES & WESTPORT, CT -- The most viewed videos of 2018 posted to the SHOOT Publicity Wire (SPW) span comedy, drama, a sensory trip, and food for thought relative to breaking away from our insular glued to the smartphone and TV screen existence. The most viewed SPW video of 2018 was furniture retailer Haverty’s “Hashtag” directed by Robb Pritts of Lucky 21 for agencies Unbound and Three Headed Monster. The comedy spot introduces us to an ultra-enthused worker who awkwardly brings social media conventions into her daily...

NEW YORK (AP) -- They are fighting, yes, but the fight crackles with the enticing electricity that only Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn could deliver. He is storming out the door. She is throwing his golf clubs after him. The music is jaunty. He is charmingly irritated. Then: He strides up to her, throws a fake punch in the air at her, opens his fist and shoves his palm into her face, slamming her onto the ground. She looks up at him with what appears to be mild exasperation. She rubs her injured neck. The rom...

Eighteen years ago, a man named Mark Hogencamp was brutally beaten by five men outside of a bar in Kingston, New York. The assault put him in a coma for over a week and left him with permanent brain damage and little memory of his previous life. To cope, he constructed an elaborate miniature World War II-era Belgian town where he would create fantasy sequences with dolls representing himself, his friends and even his assailants, and photographed them. He called the town Marwencol and the...

In retrospect, it's actually kind of surprising that there hasn't been an escape room-themed horror movie until now. The popular interactive mystery games are kind of mini films. There's a built-in set, stakes, opportunities for conflict and teamwork and a logical start and finish. It's certainly a more obvious fit for a movie than a board game or theme park ride. So, from the imaginations of "Fast & Furious" producer Neal H. Moritz and "Insidious: The Last Key" director Adam Robitel comes...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Actress Sandra Oh wants to bring a lighter tone to the Golden Globes after last year's awards show took a much serious approach centered on the "MeToo" movement. Oh said Wednesday that she and fellow host Andy Samberg will provide a "moment of joy" at the 76th annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, California, on Sunday night. She and Samberg were first paired as award presenters during a comical set at the Emmys last year when Oh ripped up the winner's envelope, referencing the 2017...

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Elvis Presley wanted an honest answer. Steve Binder gave him one. Presley was meeting Binder for the first time in Binder's office in Los Angeles in 1968. A music and television producer, Binder had been asked to put together an NBC television special featuring Presley, who had become more of a movie actor than a rock 'n' roll singer in the 1960s when the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were dominating the rock world. Presley and Binder talked for about an hour about music and established a...

NEW YORK (AP) -- Netflix faced criticism Wednesday from human rights groups for pulling an episode in Saudi Arabia of comedian Hasan Minhaj's "Patriot Act" series that criticized the kingdom's powerful crown prince. The American comedian used his second episode, released Oct. 28, to criticize Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the killing of writer Jamal Khashoggi and the Saudi-led coalition at war in Yemen. Human rights group Amnesty International said Saudi Arabia's censorship of Netflix is "further proof...
Read More, Comment LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The current season of Neil deGrasse Tyson's "StarTalk" series is on hold amid sexual misconduct claims against the prominent astrophysicist. The National Geographic channel said Thursday new episodes of the science-based talk show won't air until an investigation involving Tyson is completed, which could be within the next few weeks. Last December, National Geographic Networks and Fox said they would examine claims that Tyson behaved in a sexually inappropriate manner toward two women. Tyson...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Apple acknowledged that demand for iPhones is waning, confirming investor fears that the company's most profitable product has lost some of its luster. The reckoning came in a letter from Apple CEO Tim Cook to the company's shareholders released after the stock market closed Wednesday. Cook said Apple's revenue for the October-December quarter — including the crucial holiday shopping season — will fall well below the company's earlier projections and those of analysts, whose estimates sway the...

NEW YORK (AP) -- Television ratings for New Year’s Eve celebrations took a tumble this year — and you can probably partly blame the weather. Contrary to what the soggy celebrants in New York’s Times Square might think, it is because of good weather. Last year’s ABC’s “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” had its biggest audience since at least 1991 with much of the country locked in a deep freeze and potential partygoers wanting to stay home and keep warm. This year, viewership for ABC’s primetime New Year’s show with Ryan...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- In the final weekend of 2018, "Aquaman" still led the pack at the box office, but other films like "Mary Poppins Returns," ''The Mule" and "Second Act" enjoyed post-holiday bumps too, even amid an onslaught of new Christmas offerings like "Vice," ''Holmes and Watson," ''On the Basis of Sex" and the Netflix phenomenon "Bird Box." Warner Bros. said Sunday that "Aquaman" added an estimated $51.6 million in North American ticket sales over the weekend to take first place again. Down just 24 percent...

Centerpiece of the campaign is this moving film that tells the story of parents who try to make every day a unique moment of wonder for their seriously ill child. Mom and dad make every day a birthday for their son. Jens Mortier, creative director at mortierbrigade, explained, “The idea came from the... Read More, Comment The creative idea of this corporate social responsibility campaign :90 created by BBH China for Anheuser-Busch InBev-owned beer brand Harbin revolves around a young driver’s “future self” persuading him to safeguard his future by exercising caution when it comes to getting behind the wheel after having consumed alcohol. The film starts off with a birthday celebration of a youngster who’s had a few drinks and is on his way home. Walking towards his car, he encounters a stranger who grabs his... Read More, Comment The new “Connections Build Us” campaign from American Greetings and MullenLowe involves a workout that plumbs depths both physical and emotional. Directed by Variable’s Kevan Funk and edited by Sloane Klevin of bicoastal Union (with :30 and :15s cut by Christopher Huth), the campaign’s centerpiece film “A True Test of Strength” shifts gears dramatically, from the intensity of the gym to one-on-one meetings with Harvard psychiatrist and wellness researcher Dr. Robert Waldinger. There, each... Read More, Comment The new AT&T network campaign from BBDO demonstrates real-life situations where just okay is not good enough. It shows how settling for anything less than the best in critical moments can lead to some serious consequences--like in this spot, “Surgeon,” in which the doctor about to operate hardly inspires a patient’s confidence by being “just OK.” Similarly, you can't settle for a "just OK" wireless network. Martin Granger of Moxie Pictures directed the package of spots, including “Surgeon.” Read More, Comment Supercell’s highly anticipated game Brawl Stars has launched worldwide on both the App store and Google Play. To ignite excitement in the gaming community, agency Barton F. Graf, New York, created a film titled “No Time to Explain” introducing players to an entirely new cast of characters in the world of Brawl Stars. This continues a campaign strategy of building and telling the stories of the in-game characters, creating content that feels like an extension of the game. This :60 captures what...

So far, the initiative has celebrated over 50 reunions between people and their beloved horses. This film celebrates Richard, who has fourth stage cancer, reuniting with his horse Dusty after 15 years. The Martin Agency helped launch the Find Your Old Friend initiative back in May 2018 with a film April & Dixie that told the story of a girl and a horse born days of each other, growing into...
