Exclusive: Tyler Thompson’s Cross Creek Pictures has teamed with Jay Kinra’s Jkin Films to produce Dig. Black List scribe Cody Brotter has been set to write a geopolitical thriller inspired by the true events of Tunnel 29, the famous escape route built under the Berlin Wall during the height of the Cold War.
The film will offer a rare first-hand account of what really happened during the construction of the tunnel, which was built in 1962 by a culturally diverse group of International college students from Italy, Germany & India. They met while attending The University of West Berlin and living in the same college dorm. The students were secretly aided by NBC News, which provided funding in exchange for exclusive access to capture footage of the escape. There were twists and turns that went into freeing 29 people who risked their lives to venture through the leaky tunnel to get under the wall,...

Matt Drudge, the founder and former editor of the Drudge Report, has largely retreated from the public eye in recent years. Once a prominent figure in the world of conservative news, Drudge became known for his influential news aggregation website, which gained significant popularity and influence during the late 1990s and early 2000s. However, in […]

This is a dark moment for frazzled members of the writing fraternity.
Picketers in Hollywood and New York fear a prolonged standoff gripping film and TV. Also troubling, their colleagues in digital media are patching together their résumés as Vice Media and BuzzFeed prepare for crash landings. Will others follow?
Even a digital zealot like Ben Smith sees the moment as “a humbling experience.” His new book, titled Traffic, vividly revisits the picaresque adventures of the “muckrakers, dweebs and wing nuts” who set out to revolutionize legacy journalism. Some became at once rich and unemployed.
The New York Times liked Smith’s book, even though he quit that paper to start yet another digital adventure called Semafor — its fate still to be determined.
Here’s the irony: While Smith and his social media colleagues are making lots of noise for their next adventures, their colleagues in film and TV are frozen in silence.

Billy Eichner is not fucking around. He is a creative, comic dynamo who has played loud, proud TV characters (in Parks & Recreation, Bob’s Burgers, the vastly underrated Difficult People), voiced animated characters (The Angry Birds Movie; Timon in the live-action Lion King) and slayed all haters via 240 characters (Twitter). He has hosted the world’s greatest man-on-the-street/full-frontal assault game show (Billy on the Street). He is the only living human being to have portrayed both Walt Whitman and Matt Drudge.
And now, the 44-year-old writer-producer-actor would like to be a movie star.

When they started working on “Impeachment: American Crime Story,” makeup department head Robin Beauchesne and prosthetics designer Justin Raleigh both found themselves having to look up a lot of information. “A lot of research goes into it, watching a lot of documentaries, talking within the department and figuring out all the different ways that we can do it and also talking to the actors and seeing how they feel and how far they want to go,” Beauchesne tells Gold Derby during our recent webchat (watch the exclusive video interview above).
Raleigh emphasized that they also needed to be mindful of how long it would take to get in and out of the makeup, especially for someone like Sarah Paulson. “She was in that makeup well over a hundred times, so we had to make sure that this was a very efficient process from prosthetics to hair to Robin.

A biopic called “Back to Black” about the life of the late singer Amy Winehouse is finally moving forward at Studiocanal, and the producers have set “Fifty Shades of Grey” director Sam Taylor-Johnson to direct the feature.
Matt Greenhalgh wrote the script, and “Back to Black” is being made with the full support of the Winehouse estate. No casting has been set.
Studiocanal is producing with Alison Owen and Debra Hayward alongside Tracey Seaward. The project was first announced in partnership with Winehouse’s family and the producing team back in 2018, but it seems to finally be moving forward with Taylor-Johnson now in tow. Another project that once had Noomi Rapace attached to star never got off the ground, and Hollywood has attempted to make a biopic about Winehouse’s life and career for years.

Billy Eichner had one lesson he wanted to impart to Nick Stoller as they attempted to write what would become the first gay romantic comedy release by a major studio: Love is, in fact, not love. “I knew it was such a huge opportunity,” says Eichner, the star and co-writer of Bros, due out Sept. 30. “But what I told him right off the bat is, ‘If we’re going to do this, you have to understand that this is not as simple as doing When Harry Met Sally and swapping in two men.

In order to convey the claustrophobic feeling of Monica Lewinsky being trapped in her DC apartment in “Impeachment: American Crime Story,” cinematographer Simon Dennis played around with the windows on the set. “Obviously it gives you much more an exposure of an outside but it also feel a little bit more down and kind of restrictive in that way,” he tells Gold Derby during our recent webchat (watch the exclusive video interview above). The same method was also used to convey the same sort of feeling in the scenes when Lewinsky is being held at the Ritz Carlton by members of the Office of the Independent Counsel. “Again, you have the big bank of windows but you never really get any detail of what’s out there. It’s a bit more abstract and, in a funny way, can feel more like a bad dream.”

Days after Cross Creek Pictures acquired a spec script about the life and career of conservative news mogul Matt Drudge, another Drudge biopic appears to be in the works.
Jeff Kwatinetz’s Prospect Park has acquired the rights to “The Drudge Revolution” from author and journalist Matthew Lysiak and intends to develop it into a feature film, according to CNN. Lysiak also wrote the script for the film based on his book about the Drudge Report founder.
Ben Hurwitz is overseeing the project.

Sarah Paulson believes to her core that playing Linda Tripp on “Impeachment: American Crime Story” is the biggest challenge she’s ever had as an actress. “It was a whole lot of fun because she was a really complicated character where nobody felt the need to dull her edges,” she tells Gold Derby during our recent webchat (watch the exclusive video interview above). She adds that she relished that opportunity specifically because of its complexity. “I sort of feel the minute you start to get very comfortable and complacent in your work, that’s just not really an interesting place for me.”
“Impeachment,” which can currently be streamed on FX on Hulu, explores the affair between President Bill Clinton (Clive Owen) and White House intern Monica Lewinsky (Beanie Feldstein), how Tripp taped conversations between her and Lewinsky when they worked at the Pentagon and Ken Starr’s investigation that led to the titular punishment.

Spoiler alert: The below contains details about “The Wilderness,” the final episode of “Impeachment: American Crime Story.”
“Impeachment: American Crime Story” promised a glimpse into a tawdry affair between an intern and a married president but in the end delivered a sharp message about scorned women and the class divide in this country.
Tuesday night’s finale on FX pulled no punches in depicting how the fates of Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones and Hillary Clinton hinged on their social class, with Linda Tripp, a divorced bureaucrat with an abrasive personality and ridiculed physical appearance, the recipient of the most censure by her peers. After a media flurry surrounding the release of the Starr Report, rife with sordid details about President Bill Clinton (played Clive Owen), the episode ended with cheated-upon Hillary (Edie Falco) running for Senate, Lewinsky (Beanie Feldstein) simultaneously hounded by the media and embraced by fans, Jones (Annaleigh Ashford...

It’s September 1998, and Monica lands a book deal with the author who co-wrote Princess Diana’s tell-all. (She needs the money, since she still has a lot of legal bills to pay.) Kenneth Starr’s staff scrambles to get the final report ready, and suddenly, it’s being released, with boxes of the report dropped on the steps of Congress.

Fox News’ Dan Bongino added to the growing catalogue of recorded taping mishaps this week when he shared a video of himself swatting away a “bastard” fly.
The “Unfiltered” host aired a montage of his bug battle Saturday and crossposted it to social media. He warned viewers that “during commercial breaks, things happen” and the clips included “gruesome violence.”
The clips showed him saying he was going to “kill this freakin’ fly,” calling it a “little bastard” and questioning whether it was “a far-left fly” or “a Biden bug.” He said he was “ready to fumigate the whole house with deadly chemicals just to kill these things, just to prove a point.”
Bongino is neither the first host to face technical difficulties — especially while working and broadcasting from home, as so many have done during the coronavirus pandemic — nor the first public figure to deal specifically with bugs while cameras were rolling.

Initial Nielsen ratings for FX’s Sept. 7 debut of “Impeachment: American Crime Story” dropped significantly from earlier premieres of Ryan Murphy’s “American Crime Story” anthology five and three years ago, respectively.
According to Nielsen Live+Same Day ratings, the “Impeachment” launch drew 916,000 viewers and a rating of 0.24 in the key adults 18-49 demographic.
The series failed to come close to the record-setting numbers achieved by the first season of the show “The People v. O.J. Simpson” in 2016 and the respectable premiere scores of “The Assassination of Gianni Versace” in 2018. The former garnered over 5 million viewers and a rating of 2.0 in the key demo, while the second obtained 2.22 million viewers and a 0.72 rating in the key demo. Both previous debuts topped all other cable telecasts the night they aired, while “Impeachment” was in the fourth slot.

Hulu customers expecting to stream “Impeachment: American Crime Story” today — or anytime soon — will be disappointed: The FX limited series isn’t on the Disney-controlled streaming platform’s on-demand streaming tiers.
Instead, “Impeachment,” a retelling of the notorious Monica Lewinsky-Bill Clinton saga from more than two decades ago, will be headed to Netflix sometime in 2022. The first episode of the series aired Tuesday night on FX.
Ordinarily, episodes of new FX original series and new seasons of existing series that premiere on FX and Fxx are available the day after on Hulu (starting at 3:01 a.m. Pt) streaming packages with ads and without ads. Hulu just announced a $1-per-month price hike for the two on-demand plans, starting next month.

It’s been so long since FX’s American Crime Story debuted (Obama was still president!) that it’s easy to forget how much trepidation surrounded that first season, The People v. O.J. Simpson. The O.J. trial was a circus at the time it unfolded. Producer Ryan Murphy’s track record seemed even more fragile in 2016 than it does now, circa the death rattle of Glee and misfires like Scream Queens.

Spoiler Alert: This review contains details of FX’s Impeachment: American Crime Story which debuts on September 7.
Ultimately David Geffen said it best and worst of Bill and Hillary Clinton: “Everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it’s troubling.”
Debuting on September 7, FX’s Impeachment: American Crime Story is an indictment of those lies, their corresponding hypocrisies and the people often treated as cannon fodder by the ruthlessly ambitious First Couple.
Penned by playwright Sarah Burgess and based on Jeffrey Toobin’s 1999 book A Vast Conspiracy, the latest 10-episode installment of the Acs franchise executive produced by Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson strives to keep the spotlight away from the Clintons. Instead, the focus is on the trials and tribulations of the once infamous Paula Jones, Linda Tripp and Monica Lewinsky, with the latter serving as a producer on the pandemic-delayed project.

When a story seems too hyperbolic or prescient to be true, we call it “stranger than fiction.” We marvel that “you couldn’t script” the kind of twists that make up our wildest tales, or else that no one would believe them for embodying every cliché they possibly could. The wisdom then becomes that “seeing is believing”: that the only real way to believe a supposedly unbelievable melodrama is to watch it unfold with your own eyes and feel your skepticism calcify into an understanding. Then, maybe, the story that once seemed unfathomable evolves into something more layered and recognizably real.
Such is the mission of “Impeachment: American Crime Story,” which follows in the footsteps of the FX anthology series’ previous installments (“The People v.

“Impeachment: American Crime Story” is empty. Season 3 of FX’s anthology series, following 2016’s lauded debut “The People vs. O.J. Simpson” and 2018’s divisive follow-up “The Assassination of Gianni Versace,” is stark in its tomb-like depiction of Washington D.C., from the desolate corridors of the White House to a lonely residence at the Watergate. But the series, which dramatizes the investigation into Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky in the lead up to his impeachment, is also obsessed with its own recreation; tawdry character reveals and nostalgia traps overwhelm the exigent reframing of a well-known story, now seen (in part) from the victim’s point of view. Better appreciating America’s past abuses of power — by the president, by the media, by anyone who can benefit from punching down — is a compelling ambition, but “Impeachment” is far more beguiled by the trappings of history than excavating telling angles for today.

“No one, as far as we know, from the Clinton camp has seen this series,” Impeachment: American Crime Story executive producer Brad Simpson said today of the former First Couple who loom large in the FX limited series.
“Of course, I’m curious what they would think,” Simpson added at Friday’s virtual TCA panel of media savvy and sensitive ex-President Bill Clinton and almost Potus Hillary Clinton. “I don’t imagine she will watch, no matter how emphatic we are to her,” the EP noted of the role played by Sopranos vet Eddie Falco to Clive Owen’s 42nd Commander-in-Chief in the show debuting on September 7.
Neither of the Clintons, nor the likes of Matt Drudge and Anne Coulter, were consulted on the Simpson, Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson and Brad Falchuk EP’d 10-parter, like Monica Lewinsky was, as a producer herself. However, for Simpson on Friday, the legacy...

Ryan Murphy’s “Impeachment: American Crime Story” tells the story of the infamous affair between President Bill Clinton and former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. While the upcoming FX anthology will dive into many details surrounding the scandal, it will not include depictions of sexual acts that occurred between Lewinsky (played by Beanie Feldstein) and Clinton (Clive Owen).
In fact, the most intimate interaction you’ll see the two share over the first few episodes of “Impeachment,” which premieres Sept. 7, is a kiss. The more explicit elements of the relationship are revealed during Lewinsky’s phone calls with former White House employee Linda Tripp (played by Sarah Paulson).
And the reason for that decision, according to writer Sarah Burgess, is because enough of the public already knows the “graphic sexual detail” of the 90s scandal — like the blue dress Lewinsky kept that was stained with Clinton’s semen after she performed oral sex on him.

‘American Crime Story: Impeachment’: Sarah Paulson Teases First Look At Her Portrayal Of Linda Tripp
Sarah Paulson has offered the first glimpse of her portrait of Linda Tripp, the woman whose recordings of conversations with President Bill Clinton’s mistress, Monica Lewinsky, almost ended his administration.
Paulson said on social media that filming has begun on the Impeachment series of episodes on American Crime Story. Paulson plays the frumpy Tripp in the episodes, which examine how Tripp, a coworker of Lewinsky’s at the Defense Department, began secretly recording their conversations.
