CULVER CITY, Calif. -- Hidden Figures , a theatrical feature directed by Theodore Melfi and slated for release next year, tells the story of three African-American female mathematicians--Katherine Johnson (portrayed by Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughn (Oscar winner Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae)--who were integral to the success of NASA.

For Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, creators, showrunners, writers and EPs on Cinemax’s The Knick , the second season of the series presented some daunting challenges in that the creative bar was set so high in season one, contributed to in large part by the yeoman efforts of its director, cinematographer, editor and EP Steven Soderbergh. That high standard was further reflected this week when The Knick was one of six programs to be recognized at the Ninth Annual Television Academy Honors...

NEW YORK (AP) -- Michael Grandage, the noted theater director, has made his first movie. And it's about another world of the arts entirely — books. "Genius" is a biopic about literary editor Max Perkins and his client Thomas Wolfe, who wrote "Look Homeward, Angel" and "Of Time and the River." The screenwriter is John Logan, the playwright of "Red." Grandage has enlisted some big stars with his debut: Jude Law plays Wolfe and Colin Firth portrays the man with the red pencil. The cast also includes Laura Linney,... By Lindsey Bahr, Film Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- "Bridesmaids" was supposed to change the game for the female-driven comedy. But each new movie is still treated like a beta test for the genre and the next unwitting subjects are "Ghostbusters," out July 15, and "Bad Moms," out July 29. Isn't it supposed to be summer? "Let's wait and see how Ghostbusters does" has become a common phrase in the press and the industry - as if the future of female-led comedic blockbusters depends on Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon... NEW YORK (AP) -- Sony Pictures Entertainment has named Sanford Panitch president of Columbia Pictures, replacing Doug Belgrad. The announcement was made Friday by Sony Pictures Entertainment chairman Tom Rothman, who took over as studio chief from Amy Pascal last year following the computer hack of Sony. Panitch has overseen international production at the studio since last June. Rothman praises Panitch's film background and says his international expertise fits exactly with the company's "expanded global... 4A's discredits report as one-sided and fraught with shortcomings
NEW YORK -- Numerous non-transparent business practices, including cash rebates to media agencies, were found to be pervasive in a sample of the U.S. media ad-buying ecosystem, according to a study commissioned by the ANA (Association of National Advertisers). However, the 4A’s (American Association of Advertising Agencies) has taken issue with the report, calling it one-sided, anonymous and full of immense shortcomings while painting the entire industry with the same negative brush. Results of the study... Their Animated Short "Taking the Plunge" garners coveted Black Cube
NEW YORK -- For the first time in ADC Annual Awards history--which spans some 95 years--the top honor, the ADC Black Cube signifying Best in Show, went to a group of students. The young coterie of talent consists of Thadaeus Andreades, Marie Raoult, Nicholas Manfredi and Elizabeth Ku-Herrero, students from the School of Visual Arts Computer Art, Animation and Visual Effects curriculum. Under thesis advisor Joe Burrascano, these students created Taking the Plunge , an animated short about a marriage... New venture is a business unit within Project-owned Spinifex
LOS ANGELES -- Bill Wadsworth has exited MindOverEye, the creative content studio he founded 15 years ago, to launch a business unit within Los Angeles-based Spinifex Group called Synchrony Studios that is a state-of- the-art concept-to- completion content agency able to deliver new and relevant ideas to clients.

NEW YORK (AP) -- What more is there is to say about O.J. Simpson and the age of race relations he helped define? Turns out there's at least 7 1/2 hours more as crafted by filmmaker Ezra Edelman in his breathtaking documentary, "O.J.: Made in America." Arriving two decades after Simpson was acquitted of murder charges for the death of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman, this epic exploration covers the slayings and the ensuing Trial of the Century in you-ain't-seen-nothing-yet detail. But it goes... Other honored films include "Beyond The Gates," "Political Animals," "Namour"

CANTON, Mass. (AP) -- A battery of lawyers argued in court Tuesday over whether media mogul Sumner Redstone had the mental competence to remove two trustees of entities that control Viacom Inc. and CBS Corp. Twenty-two lawyers descended on a probate court in Canton to spar over whether the 93-year-old Redstone decided on his own to remove Viacom chief executive Philippe Dauman and board member George Abrams or whether he is being manipulated by his once-estranged daughter, Shari Redstone. Dauman and Abrams sued... NORWOOD, Mass. (AP) -- In a move that further undermines Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman, the company's controlling shareholder said Monday it amended Viacom's bylaws to require unanimous board approval for any full or partial sale of movie studio Paramount Pictures. The action further consolidates control in the hands of ailing media mogul Sumner Redstone and his daughter, Shari Redstone. The elder Redstone has said he's against the Paramount sale. Dauman said in February he was aiming to take on a strategic minority... Only later in life did sponsorship opportunities bloom for "The Greatest"

NEW YORK (AP) -- Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest athletes of all time, but he didn't cash in during his prime the way you'd expect today. Product endorsements deals for the boxer were scarce, and in fact his most notable commercial during his earlier years was for a roach trap . In the turbulent 1960s and 1970s, his political activism and racial pride made many advertisers wary. But it was also a different era in which athletes weren't generally rich role models and advertising itself focused largely on... NEW YORK (AP) -- A Norwalk, Connecticut, advertising company has sued PepsiCo Inc. in New York over a Super Bowl commercial, saying its design ideas were stolen. Betty Advertising filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Manhattan federal court. It accuses the beverage company of stealing its human jukebox concept of a hero character going from room to room, with the style of music changing in each. PepsiCo is based in Purchase, New York. It says it plans to "vigorously defend" itself against a meritless lawsuit. The... ATLANTA -- Pogo Pictures has added to its directorial roster the team of Benjamin Lowy and Marvi Lacar who work under the moniker Lowy + Lacar. This marks their first representation agreement for ad content. Furthermore the Atlanta-based Pogo has launched a division to create original programming for broadcast, cable and streaming channels. Lowy + Lacar bring an atypical background to their work with agencies and brands. Working both as a team and individually, they hail from journalistic and documentary...

NEW YORK (AP) -- You could make a dandy drinking game out of "Angie Tribeca" : a tequila shot for every silly gag. Except you'd never make it past the first commercial break. Consider: An unofficial count of sight gags and silly wordplay in the season premiere (airing on TBS Monday at 9 p.m. EDT) tops four dozen in its 22 minutes. But "Angie Tribeca" is more than incessant funny business. This is a show that stands on the shoulders of such comedy treasures as Monty Python, "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun." And... Former NBC, ESPN executive to focus on servicing the changing needs of global media creators and providers
LOS ANGELES -- Deluxe Entertainment Services Group Inc. (Deluxe) has named former NBC and ESPN marketing executive Brad Soroca its chief marketing officer.

Soroca is based in New York. “Brad’s expertise is in building... By Jake Coyle, Film Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Sure things in Hollywood are beginning to look like an endangered species. Sequels, for years the industry's most "can't miss" assets, are struggling at the box office this year. The downturn, which continued over the weekend with the low turnout for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows," calls into question one of the industry's bedrocks of bankability. Roughly two decades ago, the sequel — once largely seen as a blatant and disrespected cash grab — threw off its stigma. Comic-... By David Bauder, Television Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- The second straight NBA Finals matchup between Golden State and Cleveland got off to a promising start for ABC, but the network has to be hoping the series becomes more competitive in a hurry. The first two games averaged 18.3 million viewers, the Nielsen company said on Tuesday. Except for last year’s two-game average of 18.5 million, it’s the best start for the NBA Finals for viewers since the 2001 series between Philadelphia and Los Angeles. But the trend line isn’t good: while the first... By Lindsey Bahr, Film Writer
If "The Conjuring" was a chilling whisper, the sequel is a deafening shriek. That might not be a bad thing for some, but the shock jumps and cheesy-looking demons in "The Conjuring 2 " were a definite departure from the first, and not necessarily for the better. The brilliance of director James Wan's elegant original film was how it used our own horror savvy against us. He'd allow for a long take of a terrified girl peering under her bed and let it stay there long enough to the point where your... By Lindsey Bahr, Film Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Turtle power isn't all that strong the second time around, according to comScore estimates Sunday, but not all is bleak at the box office. While many of the season's sequels continue to struggle, the healthy debut of the romantic drama "Me Before You" proved that there is room for more than superheroes in the summer. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" won the box office, but its estimated $35.3 million debut is not exactly cause for a celebratory pizza party. The $135 million... This two-minute film for U.K. charity Women’s Aid is poignant and powerful, conveying the fear that a woman experiences in an abusive relationship. Viewers not only feel this palpable fear but also see that domestic abuse can extend to older women, in this case a grandmother portrayed by actress Tessa Peake-Jones whose abuser husband is chillingly played by Phil Davis. Supporting cast includes their adult daughter (portrayed by Ann-Marie Duff) and their grandchildren (Maddie Bates, James Bates... Seed Matters, an initiative of the Clif Bar Family Foundation, has rolled out “Mr. Seed,” an animated short conceived by The Butler Bros., a brand design studio in Austin, Texas, and directed by L.A.-based animation company Buck. Mr. Seed is also the protagonist in this short. He’s a clean-living organic seed who at times has a potty mouth (voiced by comedian Pete Holmes), calling out the big agrichemical companies that are feeding the world with unhealthy fare. The film opens with an animated... Sandwick Media’s Joanna Bailey, in conjunction with her UK production company Bare Films, has directed this charming spot for Amazon’s internal advertising team. The piece showcases how Amazon PrimeNow’s new two-hour delivery service helps kindle a friendship between two kids, one a little girl who just moved into the neighborhood. Bailey said of the project, “It was the opportunity to explore lovely little expressions of hope and wariness and inhibition that really intrigued me with this spot... This spot titled “Get In The Game”--directed by Martin Krejci of Stink for Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam--kicks off the next chapter of the “Passions” campaign for Booking.com. The :60 captures the passion of those who travel to support and experience their favorite sport. With upcoming major sports events in France and Rio de Janeiro, this summer will see numerous fans and would-be athletes watching their heroes from afar. But with the right hotel room or accommodation, these sports enthusiasts can... Earlier this year, SNICKERS launched its Super Bowl 50 commercial which goes back to 1955 and features a hungry Marilyn Monroe on the set of the classic film The Seven Year Itch. Now, in honor of what would have been Monroe’s 90th birthday, SNICKERS is launching an online video of an OOH interactive experience. The experience is an installation that displays a continuously animated image of Marilyn Monroe’s skirt blowing in the breeze, an iconic scene from the classic film. When a digital...
