Ron Nyswaner will soon be traveling to New York to reunite with his Writers Guild of America East fellows for a grand occasion. The Oscar-nominated screenwriter, producer and showrunner has been selected to receive the Walter Bernstein Award at the 76th Writers Guild Awards at New York’s Edison Ballroom on April 14.
The honor — named after the late screenwriter who was blacklisted for his political views only to persevere and get his career back on track with such credits as Fail-Safe, Semi-Tough and Yanks — is presented to writers “who have demonstrated with creativity, grace and bravery a willingness to confront social injustice in the face of adversity,” per the organization.
Nyswaner has been doing that for pretty much his entire career. A prime example is Jonathan Demme’s 1993 film Philadelphia. Penned by Nyswaner, the Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington-starrer was the first major Hollywood film to dramatize the real-world...

Liev Schreiber wouldn’t be opposed to revisiting “Ray Donovan,” he told the audience at Karlovy Vary Intl. Film Festival on Sunday. The beloved Showtime series, created by Ann Biderman, was canceled in 2020 after seven seasons. Following the fans’ outcry, “Ray Donovan: The Movie” premiered in 2022.
“I would consider it,” he said during a masterclass.
“It was always [longtime Showtime chief] David Nevins’ baby. I know he loves this character and this story, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear more from David.”
Schreiber admitted he was both “disappointed and relieved” by the show’s cancellation, but the outpouring of love and support touched him deeply.
“Naomi [Watts, his ex-partner] was a bigger star than me and we were flying all over the world with our children. But they were getting bigger and they needed to go to school and live in one place. She wanted to live in L.A.

Exclusive: Rhys Ifans (Spider-Man: No Way Home) has signed on to star alongside Annette Bening and Jodie Foster in the Netflix film Nyad, which marks the narrative directorial debut of Oscar, BAFTA and Emmy winners Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin.
Pic is based on Diana Nyad’s bestselling autobiography Find A Way. It follows the remarkable true story of the marathon swimmer, who, at the age of 64, became the first person to complete the “Everest of swims”—executing a 53-hour, 110-mile swim from Cuba to Florida, through dangerous open ocean, without a shark cage.
Ifans is playing John Bartlett, the Florida-based boat designer and captain of the catamaran that accompanied Diana as she swam. Bartlett strategically and meticulously planned and navigated Nyad’s swim though the Florida Straits, keenly aware of the impact of weather and ocean currents on her journey.

Jodie Foster has joined the cast of the Netflix biopic on marathon swimmer Diana Nyad, ‘Nyad.’
Foster joins Annette Bening who takes on the role of Nyad. Foster will play Bonnie Stoll, her coach and longtime friend.
At the age of 64, in 2013, Nyad, a long-distance swimmer became the first person to swim the 110-mile distance from Cuba to Florida without the aid of a shark cage. It was her fifth attempt, and she executed it by undertaking a 53-hour journey through the dangerous open ocean that included overcoming not just sharks but poisonous jellyfish.
Documentary filmmakers Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin – who won an Oscar for the doc ‘Free Solo’ – will be making their feature directorial debut on the project.

Like the Emmys’ Best Drama Directing category, there have not been a lot of individual female winners in Best Drama Writing. Only five solo women have ever won before — slightly better than the three female drama directing champs — but just like the directing race this year, there are three chances for another woman to join the drama writing winner’s circle.
Yahlin Chang (“Home” from “The Handmaid’s Tale“), Misha Green (“Sundown” from “Lovecraft Country”) and Rebecca Sonnenshine (“What I Know” from “The Boys”) are all individually nominated this year for their scripts. There are other two female nominees, Janet Mock and Our Lady J, but they share their bid for the “Pose” series finale with co-writers Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuck and Steve Canals. The other nominees are solo dudes: Peter Morgan (“War” from “The Crown”), Jon Favreau (“Chapter 16: The Rescue” from “The Mandalorian”) and Dave Filoni (“Chapter 13: The...

On Monday, Liev Schreiber posted a photo from the set of his upcoming Ray Donovan film, teasing his reunion with four longtime co-stars.
“I will miss this particular gaggle of actors very very much,” the actor wrote on his official Instagram account. “@raydonovan #comingsoon.”
In the photo, Schreiber is seen huddling up with Kerris Dorsey, Dash Mihok, Pooch Hall and Eddie Marsan. On Ray Donovan, Dorsey played Ray’s daughter, Bridget; Mihok played his younger brother, Bunchy. Hall played Ray’s younger half-brother Daryll, while Marsan played his older brother, Terry.
The acclaimed crime drama created by Ann Biderman aired for seven seasons on Showtime between 2013 and 2019. It centered on Schreiber’s professional “fixer” of the same name, watching as he arranged bribes, payoffs, threats, crime-scene clean-up, and other illegal activities on behalf of his (usually) celebrity clients.
While the series was officially canceled in February of 2020, the follow-up film was announced a year later.

A “Ray Donovan” movie is in the works from Showtime, the network announced on Wednesday. Series star Liev Schreiber will return to his role as the titular antihero, a professional “fixer” who trades in all sorts of illegal activity to protect his high profile clients. Series favorite Jon Voigt will reprise his role as Ray’s father Mickey Donovan, as will Kerris Dorsey as Ray’s daughter Bridget. In an intriguing turn, Schreiber will co-write the script along with series showrunner David Hollander, who will also serve as director.
The new film will pick up where the seventh and final season left off, with Mickey in the wind and Ray determined to find and stop him before he can cause any more carnage. It will also take a page from “The Godfather Part II” by marrying the present-day fallout from the Donovan/Sullivan feud with Ray and Mickey’s origin story of 30 years ago.

The Donovan character is Irish-American, and “sláinte” translates to “cheers” in Irish and “health” in Scottish Gaelic. Schreiber sometimes used it during the series’ seven-season run.
His actor brother Pablo Schreiber added a heartfelt response to the post: “Congratulations on a tremendous run! Your talent, intelligence and leadership shine brightly. On to the next!”

Ray Donovan’s time fixing other people’s problems may be coming to a close as Showtime’s Gary Levine admits that the drama is “nearing the end of its run”.
Showtime’s Co-President of Entertainment Levine told Deadline that it is expected to make a decision on the future of the Liev Schreiber-fronted show “in the next few weeks” and hinted that it is set to return for an eighth and final season.
With Shameless being handed an eleventh and final season this morning, this means the ViacomCBS premium network’s top two dramas could find themselves with one further season each.

Emerald Fennell replaced Phoebe Waller-Bridge as showrunner for the second season of “Killing Eve,” and now she can do what her predecessor was unable to: become just the sixth solo woman to win the Best Drama Writing Emmy.
Fennell, who will cede showrunner duties to Suzanne Heathcote for Season 3, is nominated for penning the second episode of Season 2, “Nice and Neat.” She is the only woman nominated by herself; Kira Snyder shares her nomination with Bruce Miller for “The Handmaid’s Tale.” The other nominees are Peter Gould and Thomas Schnauz (“Better Call Saul”), David Benioff and D.B. Weiss (“Game of Thrones”), Jed Mercurio (“Bodyguard”) and Jesse Armstrong (“Succession”).
First given out at the 7th Primetime Emmy Awards in 1955, Best Drama Writing has long skewed male. It took 19 years before the category crowned its first individual female champ, Joanna Lee, for “The Waltons” in 1974. Five years later, Michele Gallery (“Lou Grant”) prevailed,...

The clan of Ray Donovan is going to get to stick together thanks to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office.
In a plea deal unveiled in La Superior Court today in Pasadena, Marion “Pooch” Hall won’t be facing a potential six-years behind bars for charges of driving under the influence and endangering his two-year old son last fall.
Instead, the actor who has played half-brother Daryll Donovan on Showtime’s Liev Schreiber-led Hollywood fixer series since its first season saw his child endangerment felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor. That move from prosecutor Deputy D.A. Lisa Tanner resulted in Hall receiving three years probation and having his driver’s license suspended for six months. Add to that and his no-contest plea Tuesday, Hall has to enter into a three-month alcohol abuse seminar and complete a one-year parenting class.

Ray Donovan season 7 will stay in a New York frame of mind.
Ray Donovan is not the kind of guy you fire. More than a few of his friends have woken up to a dead body next to them, and even more than that count themselves lucky to wake up at all. Showtime knows this as Ray Donovan season 7 got the go-ahead, will according to Deadline.
The series, which stars Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominee Liev Schreiber as Ray Donovan, saw its setting change from Los Angeles to New York state in season 6. Season 7 will remain in New York.
Donovan moved to New York after his life was saved by a Staten Island cop named Mac, played by Domenick Lombardozzi. The former Boston mobster stayed for the pizza, and got friendly with media mogul Sam Winslow (Susan Sarandon), who wants Anita Novak (Lola Glaudini) to be the next mayor.

Ahead of Ray Donovan’s Season 6 finale, Showtime has ordered a seventh season of the hit drama series starring Liev Schreiber and Jon Voight. Production will begin this spring in New York.
As season six progresses, Ray’s (Schreiber) journey in New York has been fueled by his subconscious need for help. After his life was saved by a Staten Island cop named Mac (Domenick Lombardozzi), Ray must navigate the complicated debts and emotions that grew out of that relationship while also trying to save the mayoral campaign of Anita Novak (Lola Glaudini), the favored candidate of Sam Winslow (Susan Sarandon). On the family front, Mickey (Voight) is on a mission to hunt down Ray to seek revenge and Ray struggles to cope after Bridget (Kerris Dorsey) tells him that she must break away from her father and the havoc his life has brought.

Phoebe Waller-Bridges (“Killing Eve”) is the only female nominee in the Best Drama Writing Emmy field of six. And “six” will also be associated with her should she win because only five other solo women have won the category before.
Since Best Drama Writing was added at the 7th Primetime Emmys in 1955, undergoing various name changes, the category has almost exclusively been a boys’ club. It took 19 years before Joanna Lee became the first individual woman to win, prevailing for “The Waltons.” In 1979, Michele Gallery (“Lou Grant”) joined her, followed by Patricia Green (“Cagney & Lacey”) and Ann Biderman (“NYPD Blue”) in 1994. Twenty long years later, Moira Walley-Beckett ended the drought with a statuette for penning “Ozymandias,” the best episode of “Breaking Bad.”
There were female winners in between Biderman’s and Walley-Beckett’s triumphs, but they all co-wrote their winning scripts with men. Robin Green (“The Sopranos”) shared her 2001 win with Mitchell Burgess,...

Showtime’s Ray Donovan returns for its sixth season on Sunday, October 28 at 9 pm Et/Pt, and judging by the trailer released today during the network’s TCA presentation, the Liev Schreiber fixer drama has lost none of its punch – or its Susan Sarandon, who is back as a series regular.
“I wanted it all to stop,” narrates Schreiber’s Ray at the start of the trailer, after moving from L.A. to New York City and just before he takes what looks to be an end-it-all plunge into the East River. Within milliseconds, though, he’s rescued by one of New York’s finest, who Ray then tries to knock silly, try being the operative word.

Liev Schreiber has never been better. Four years (plus season 5 now) into Ray Donovan, and he’s still giving us a reason to watch, the very same reasons we tuned in to the show back in 2013. The crime drama actually broke pilot viewership records for Showtime, and majority of that probably came from Schreiber’s celebrity pull. After the first few episodes, though, we quickly realize that the pull of Donovan comes from its ensemble. Ann Biderman, creator, writer, and producer, has given us a few good works to feast on. Her resume may be short, but it includes TV

Liev Schreiber’s illustrious fixer Ray Donovan may have spent the majority of last season at odds with the Armenian mafia – collecting more than a few physical scars to prove it – but the show’s upcoming season 4 finds our no-nonsense protagonist attempting to reconnect with his estranged daughter.
Set for premiere on June 26, Schreiber’s battle-worn hitman has been through the wringer at this point in Ann Biderman’s acclaimed series, though the first trailer proves more than anything that Ray Donovan has no intent of slowing up anytime soon – even after asking for forgiveness for his unspeakable sins.
Among the cast returning for season 4 are Paula Malcomson, Eddie Marsan, Dash Mihok, Steven Bauer, Katherine Moennig, while fans of Liev Schreiber’s elusive fixer can look forward to guest appearances from Lisa Bonet, Embeth Davidtz, Ted Levine, Gabriel Mann, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Chris Coppola and Billy Lush.

In a report from The La Times (via ComingSoon) about a recent summit held by Women in Film and the Sundance Institute to discuss the issue of gender inequality in Hollywood, Wme partner and agent Adriana Alberghetti said that as a result of the two-day summit, she secured meetings with four female directors and three female writers for upcoming Star Wars movies. That's great news for not only the industry itself, but for the audience watching these films, too. It's important to have different perspectives out there, and it's especially important when those perspectives are involved with what's likely to become the biggest film franchise in the world.

In the episode’s closing minutes, Liev Schreiber’s titular fixer at long last opened up about the childhood sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of Father O’Connor (the fact that his sounding board was also a man of the cloth and the setting of his emotional breakthrough was a church heightened the sequence’s potency).

"Ray Donovan" continues to attract notable guest stars, this season bringing in both Ian McShane and Katie Holmes. David Hollander (creator of CBS' "The Guardian") has replaced "Ray" creator Ann Biderman as showrunner. ("Masters of Sex" timeline spoilers coming in 3... 2... 1...) "Masters," meanwhile, will jump the narrative ahead all the way to 1966 (last year ended circa the JFK inauguration), as the new season "finds the famed duo of Masters (Michael Sheen) and Johnson (Lizzy Caplan) dealing with the glare of the national spotlight as their sex study is finally unveiled." (At the end of season 2, I spoke with creator Michelle Ashford about why big time jumps would become more and more necessary for the series as it continued.

McShane will play the recurring role of Malcolm Finney, a prominent movie producer and billionaire who hires Ray (Liev Schreiber) to get his family out of a potentially catastrophic situation.

When Ray Donovan concluded its debut season I had lovingly likened the new crime series to be a combination of Entourage and The Sopranos. Now that season two has wrapped up I see the series heading into completely new and stranger territory, especially after an open-ended finale that seems to have simultaneously wrapped up every single season two subplot while shattering all notion of anything long-term being any closer to resolution. Creator and showrunner Ann Biderman (Southland) stepped down from her role this year as we head into a third season of Ray Donovan and I'm not sure if that's a death sentence or if we needed a fresh set of eyes in order to get this beast moving along. As exciting as season two was, by the time we found ourselves rushing to the finishing line, it felt like...
