The post Apple TV+ drop trailer for season 2 of ‘For All Mankind’ appeared first on HeyUGuys.

For all the internet, Apple TV+ has released the Season 2 “For All Mankind” trailer. Bad news: our revised past continues to look pretty bleak.

Watch the trailer above.

Season 2 of the Ronald D. Moore revised history drama premieres on Apple’s SVOD (subscriber video on-demand) platform on Friday, Feb. 19. The next nine episodes will roll out one at a time each subsequent Friday.

“For All Mankind” explores what would have happened if the global space race had never ended. The series presents an aspirational world where NASA astronauts, engineers and their families find themselves in the center of extraordinary events seen through the prism of an alternate history timeline — a world in which the Ussr beat the U.S. to the Moon.

Season 2 of the space drama picks up a decade later in 1983. It’s the height of the Cold War and tensions between the United States and the Ussr are at their peak.

Laverne Cox has dropped out of a documentary about sex workers following public backlash to the project.  Director Sarah Jones announced on Jan. 5 she would be working with executive producers Meryl Streep, Rashida Jones and Cox on the film adaptation of her off-Broadway show, Sell/Buy/Date. In 2016, Jones played multiple characters inspired by real people during her one-woman show about the sex industry.  However, several social media users criticized Jones, a Tony Award winner, for potentially contributing to the stigma around sex work. One person wrote, "Just what the world needs. Another movie where non SWers debate whether sex...

Laverne Cox announced on Wednesday that she will no longer be involved in Sarah Jones’ upcoming sex industry documentary, Sell/Buy/Date, following backlash on social media.

“I am not in an emotional place to deal with the outrage by some around my participation in this project. So I have decided to pull out,” she wrote in a statement posted on Twitter. “To be clear I am no longer involved in any capacity in “Sell. Buy, Date.””

Based on Jones’ 2016 Off Broadway stage production of the same name Sell/Buy/Date explores how the sex industry sits at the intersection of race, feminism, power and economics in our current cultural climate. The documentary will tackle themes of inequality of criminal justice, race, sexism and poverty through the lens of the debate around the sex industry.

Laverne Cox has dropped out of the sex work documentary “Sell/Buy/Date” based on the play by Tony Award winner Sarah Jones, saying she’s “not in an emotional place to deal with the outrage” generated by the film adaptation.

As announced earlier this week, Cox was set to executive produce the documentary alongside Meryl Streep and Rashida Jones, with Sarah Jones making her feature directorial debut. Following the announcement, sex workers on social media were quick to decry the project, saying Sarah Jones had co-opted their stories in her one-woman play, in which she inhabited several multicultural characters to explore issues like prostitution and female sexual exploitation.

In a tweet late Wednesday night, Cox said she loves Sarah Jones’ “brilliant play,” but is no longer involved in the documentary.

“I am not in an emotional place to deal with the outrage by some around my participation in this project.

On Tuesday, Sarah Jones announced that she was moving forward with a documentary titled Sell/Buy/Date that would examine the sex industry, much like her critically acclaimed one-woman show of the same name.

For the feature project, which will mark the Tony Award-winning creator’s directorial debut, Jones revealed that she had enlisted longtime supporter Meryl Streep, Rashida Jones and Laverne Cox as executive producers along with the Ford Foundation, Sffilm Invest and the Harnisch Foundation.

Sarah Jones is about to take a look at the world of the sex industry from a different angle.

In the one-woman show Sell/Buy/Date, Tony Award-winning creator and performer Sarah Jones inhabited more than a dozen multicultural characters as a way to explore people’s relationships to and with the sex industry.

The production debuted off-Broadway in 2016 and received rave reviews. The New York Times dubbed it “absorbing” and The Hollywood Reporter called Sarah Jones a “chameleonic performer” who dazzles. Sarah Jones took her show on the road, posting up in Los Angeles in 2018 for separate runs at both the Geffen Playhouse and the Los Angeles LGBT Center.

Julie Delpy’s first TV drama, “On the Verge,” is one of the rare shows that managed to shoot in Los Angeles between the first and second waves of the pandemic.

Produced by Michael Gentile and Lauraine Heftler at The Film TV for France’s Canal Plus and Netflix, the 12-episode series endured a three-month delay and then filmed from late August until Thanksgiving.

Covid-safe protocols cost approximately $2 million but proved effective: There wasn’t a single coronavirus case during production. In addition to creator and co-director Delpy, the series — set to debut next fall — stars Elisabeth Shue, Sarah Jones and Giovanni Ribisi.

Congrats on pulling off this shoot under very unique circumstances! How did the pandemic impact the casting process and production?

Exclusive: For All Mankind is getting another early renewal. Apple TV+ has ordered a third season of the alt-history Space Race drama from Ronald D. Moore and Sony Pictures Television. The renewal comes more than two months before the series’ Season 2 global premiere on February 19. Production on the new season is slated to begin next spring.

For All Mankind‘s second season was picked up ahead of the show’s November 2019 series debut. It recently wrapped production, which had been interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. The sci-fi drama had two episodes left to shoot from its ten-episode Season 2 order when filming shut down industrywide in mid-March. For All Mankind was among the first scripted series to resume production in August.

This is the third Apple TV+ original series to receive an early Season 3 renewal, joining Dickinson and Ted Lasso.

J.D. Vance’s best-selling autobiography “Hillbilly Elegy” isn’t the most natural fit for the big-screen treatment, an often unwieldy mix of heartbreaking memoir, personal observations couched in sociological chatter, and cherry-picked factoids. In trying to understand how and why his Appalachian family faced hardships like domestic abuse, drug addiction, and poverty, critics noted that Vance’s perspective often revealed, at best, the limitations of his experience.

At worst, other critics said that Vance’s story was rife with racist and sexist ideology, a reliance on easily dispelled fallacies, and a resistance to blaming any of it on government and culture. As Sarah Jones put it in a searing “New Republic” piece, the book is “little more than a list of myths about welfare queens repackaged as a primer on the white working class.” It was also a bestseller, and one that many hoped might shine a light on segments of an increasingly divided America.

Will the first season of the For All Mankind TV show on Apple TV+ hit new heights? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like For All Mankind is cancelled or renewed for season two. Apple TV+ and other streaming platforms, however, collect their own data. If you've been watching this TV series, we'd love to know how you feel about the first season episodes of For All Mankind here. *Status Update Below.

Director Randall Miller has asked a Georgia judge to once again delay his probation hearing, noting that he recently tested positive for Covid-19.

Miller is on probation for involuntary manslaughter in connection with the 2014 death of Sarah Jones, a camera assistant who was killed in a train crash on the set of the film “Midnight Rider.” Under the terms of his sentence, Miller was not to serve as a director for a period of 10 years.

However, Miller directed a film called “Higher Grounds” in Serbia in 2019. When officials were alerted to the project last spring, they accused Miller of violating his probation.

The hearing was originally scheduled for June but has been repeatedly delayed. It is now set for Nov. 30. On Monday afternoon, Miller’s attorneys informed Judge Anthony Harrison that Miller had tested positive for Covid-19 and could not travel for at least three weeks.

Apple TV+ shared the first teaser for Season 2 of “For All Mankind” following the show’s Comic-Con@Home panel on Saturday.

The teaser gives a brief glimpse at what’s to come from “Battlestar Galactica” creator Ronald D. Moore’s alternate-history drama as the series moves into the 1980s and the tension between the U.S. and the Soviet Union reaches new heights.

“For All Mankind,” one of the first original series to premiere at the Apple streaming service last year, presents an aspirational world where NASA astronauts, engineers and their families find themselves in the center of extraordinary events seen through the prism of an alternate history timeline — a world in which the Ussr beats the US to the moon.

What would have happened if the space race had never ended? In Season 2 of For All Mankind, we’re about to find out.

Apple TV+ released a first look at the space drama’s sophomore season Saturday following a Comic-Con @ Home virtual panel. The action-packed clip (embedded above) shows flashes of fighter jets racing across the sky, rockets blasting off into the atmosphere and astronauts bouncing on the moon, all while President Ronald Reagan provides a stern, but steady voiceover: “Let me state as plainly as I can: The greatest threat the United States faces is posed by the Soviet Union.

This year’s virtual Comic-Con@Home has announced its schedule for Saturday, July 25. The highlights are below.

The virtual event replaces the annual San Diego Comic-Con, the largest fan convention in North America, which was to be held July 22–26 at the San Diego Convention Center, until the Covid-19 pandemic forced its cancellation.

In June, Comic-Con International — the non-profit organization that oversees Sdcc and its sister event, WonderCon in Anaheim, Calif. — announced it was moving forward with the virtual event on the same dates. This time, however, the event is free and open to all.

The Comic-Con@Home schedule — including Wednesday, July 22, Thursday, July 23, and Friday, July 24 — is being announced daily through Sunday.

Known for her one-woman multi-character stage shows, the Tony award-winning writer and performer is bringing her favorite characters to life to discuss what it means to be Black in America on her new Instagram Live series “#YesImSarahJones.” New episodes of the show are released every Wednesday on Sarah’s Instagram @yesimsarahjones.

“I hope Hollywood wakes up to the reality that it has been an engine of white supremacist ideology since D.W. Griffith,” Jones told WrapWomen, referring to the early-20th-century director of films like “Birth of a Nation.” “If the industry really wants to show it believes that Black Lives Matter, studios are going to have to reckon with the voices they’ve been marginalizing, including all of mine.”

During a recent interview with WrapWomen, Jones — who has performed several times for Barack and...

Exclusive: Update, 12:45 Pm: Looks like both Randall Miller and the family of Sarah Jones will have to wait a while longer to discover if the Midnight Rider director could be going back to jail or not.

A hearing (exclusively revealed by Deadline last week) on the possible probation violation by the once again working filmmaker that was scheduled for June 17 at the at the Wayne County Courthouse in Jesup, Georgia and online has been moved to July 22.

“Technical issues” was the reason given for the more than a month long delay.

This postponement comes as prosectors and lawyers for Miller have already de facto clashed outside the courthouse on whether a warrant should be issued for the Californian-based director. However, the shift today from the court clerk’s office does give Miller some significant breathing room over if his helming of the comedy Higher Grounds overseas last year was out of bounds or not.

Exclusive: One week after Georgia prosecutors sought a new arrest warrant for Midnight Rider director Randall Miller over probation violations stemming from the 2014 on-set death of Sarah Jones, the filmmaker’s lawyers are fighting back to stop potential return to jail for their client.

“The defense urges the court to deny the application for a warrant,” proclaims a June 2 memorandum from the Atlanta firm of Garland, Samuel & Loeb that was made public by the Peach State courts today.

As exclusively reported by Deadline on May 27, last year Miller was the director of the independent feature comedy Higher Grounds in Serbia, UK and Columbia. On the surface, the DGA sanctioned gig seems to be in contradiction to the terms of Miller’s 2016 probation from his involuntary manslaughter conviction that appeared to not allow him to direct anything for 10 years.

Miller’s attorneys have argued that he was well within the rules...

Randall Miller, the “Midnight Rider” director serving probation for his role in the 2014 death of camera assistant Sarah Jones, will be summoned to court for allegedly violating his probation by directing a new film last year, Variety reported.

As part of a 2015 plea deal in Georgia, Miller pleaded guilty to criminal trespassing and involuntary manslaughter in connection to Jones’ death. She was killed and several others injured when a train plowed through a “Midnight Rider” set that was set up on a Georgia train trestle.

He was released after serving a year in prison and is now subject to a 10-year probation in which he is “prohibited from serving as director, first assistant director or supervisor with responsibility for safety in any film production.”

Miller’s lawyers understood that to mean that Miller was allowed to shoot his latest film, “Higher Grounds,” in Serbia, Colombia, and the UK last year,...

Midnight Rider will forever be a cautionary tale for moviemakers, but after the death of camera assistant Sarah Jones during the infamous production, can the film's director, Randall Miller, ever be absolved of ultimate responsibility? That question is now surfacing as Miller pursues new projects.

Jones died on a railway trestle bridge in Georgia on Feb. 20, 2014. The following year, Miller pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter as part of a deal with prosecutors for charges against his wife, producer Jody Savin, to be dismissed. Now out of jail, Miller has pursued vindication in various forms. He also found time ...

“Midnight Rider” director Randall Miller violated his probation by shooting a new independent film overseas, Georgia officials from the Department of Community Supervision told TheWrap Friday.

“After a thorough review of the case and collaboration with our partners in law enforcement, it has been determined that Mr. Miller’s actions result in a violation of his probation, and appropriate action will be taken,” Brian Tukes, a spokesman for the department, said in a statement.

Local prosecutors can now seek a warrant for Miller’s arrest, though a representative for the Superior Criminal department in Wayne County told TheWrap that no violation has been filed as of Friday.

Exclusive: Six years after Sarah Jones was killed on the Georgia set of Midnight Rider, director Randall Miller is facing being arrested again.

Law enforcement authorities in the Peach State today requested that Department of Community Supervision issue a warrant for Miller for violating the conditions of his probation, we have learned. The effort arises from Deadline’s exclusive earlier this week that Miller had directed the DGA sanctioned film Higher Grounds last summer in Serbia, Colombia and the UK.

“I have requested Wayne County probation to issue a warrant for his arrest,” Assistant District Attorney John Johnson told Deadline on Friday. “Randall Miller has violated the terms of his probation,” the Georgia prosecutor added of Miller getting behind the camera on the Kate Nash-starring Higher Grounds. “As a director, he’s in violation.”

If after a hearing before a judge, Miller is found to have violated his probation,...
