Mindy Kaling loves romantic comedies and she is rebooting a classic — her version of “Four Weddings and a Funeral” is coming to Hulu on July 31, 2019. Complete with a running through the airport scene AND Andie MacDowell!
“Queen & Slim” is coming in November from writer Lena Waithe (Netflix’s “Master of None”) and director Melina Matsoukas (Beyonce’s “Formation” and the Nike “Equality” campaign).
A first date goes very wrong when a black man (“Get Out’s” Daniel Kaluuya) and a black woman (Jodie Turner-Smith) are pulled over for a minor traffic infraction. The situation escalates, with sudden and tragic results, when the man kills the police officer in self-defense. Terrified and in fear for their lives, the man, a retail employee, and the woman, a criminal defense lawyer, are forced to go on the run. But the incident is captured on video and goes viral, and the couple unwittingly become a symbol of trauma, terror, grief and pain for people across the country.
“Leto” is set in Leningrad’s underground rock scene in the early 1980’s. It premiered at Cannes, where it won the soundtrack award, and it features music from Kino and other Russian bands as well as T-Rex, David Bowie and The Velvet Underground. In the Village Voice, critic Bilge Ebiri called it an “explosive pop musical” and said “with its languid, freewheeling narrative, its constant blurring of fantasy and reality, its mixing of Soviet garage rock with better-known pieces from around the world, Summer proves… an ode to a world without boundaries. “
