News about Jeffrey Wright

Spike Lee's English-language reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa's crime thriller of the same name from 1963 is currently in production. And on Friday, a couple of the film's lead actors - Denzel Washington and Jeffrey Wright - were caught in action shooting a scene on the streets of New York City . All the action appeared to revolve around a blue and silver car that's parked along the side of a street that has caught Washington's interest. The two-time Academy Award winner, 69, looks dapper in a blue three-piece suit that's matched with a white dress shirt and tie, blue sneakers, and cool dark sunglasses. Eventually, after making a short walk to the car, the actor gets into the back seat for a conversation with someone, which could be Wright, who was also shot in another scene getting out of the front driver's seat of that same vehicle.

BRIAN VINER: I hear a lot about the complaint that "nothing worth going to the theater for" is something I hear a lot, and it's often impossible to refute, but it has no water at all this week, as we welcome two of the Academy Award contenders. I don't think either of them will be contaminated with the Oscar, which, according to sports analysts, would be Oppenheimer's to lose. Both of them will be worthy winners, especially The Zone Of Interest, a disturbing movie about the Holocaust. Unique, since the mass extermination of Jews, Hitler's abhorrent 'Final Solution,' is shown as a glowering yet mostly distant backdrop, while an ostensibly positive story of family life unfolds in the foreground. The film, shot in 1943, focuses on Rudolf Hoss (Christian Friedel), his materialistic wife Hedwig (Sandra Huller), and their five children. They live in a great deal of confidence, just over the wall from the concentration camp where he works with icy efficiency.

Despite the fact that it aims to mock white liberals and the restrictions they wield over black art, left leaning critics have praised American fiction. Cord Jefferson's debut tells the tale of a black professor Thelonious 'Monk' Ellison, who is fed up with his snowflake students and struggling to find any genuine interest in his work, so jokingly drafts a book that is only going to be a overnight success. The Washington Post has raved about it, as have Rolling Stone and Washington Post.

HBO has pulled the plug on its long-running sci-fi series "Westworld." The announcement comes just three months after its season four finale aired on August 14th. Longtime viewers of the dystopian drama were transported to a future in which consciousness, both human and artificial, can be harnessed and moved to other planes of existence where reality is more vivid, more realistic, and deadlier than ever imagined. For several people, HBO's decision to end the series abruptly, particularly after cliffhangers in season four left the plot line open for a final season. "I'm gonna miss all the badass women of Westworld."
