Deadline:
Claire Danes hasn’t done much TV since making an all-too-brief but memorable splash in 1994-1995 as the precocious teen star of the ABC drama My So-Called Life. Several dozen feature film roles have followed. But the 31-year-old Danes came back to TV and received rave reviews for her starring role as the autistic title character in the HBO biopic Temple Grandin that premiered in February. Her competition in the Primetime Emmy category as lead made-for-TV-movie/miniseries actress is formidable: Maggie Smith (Capturing Mary), Joan Allen (Georgia O’Keefe), Dame Judi Dench (Return to Cranford) and Hope Davis (The Special Relationship). Media see Danes as the favorite to cart off the trophy on August 29th for the film which generated 15 Emmy nominations in all. Danes spoke this week with Deadline Hollywood contributor Ray Richmond about the difficulty of portraying a living person -- yet how rewarding the experience turned out to be.
The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep Review: At least it wasn't horrifically ugly, but still very forgettable in the wider Witcher saga.
TNS: Captain America: Brave New World isn't the disaster a lot of people expected, but its shoddy script keeps it firmly on the ground.
Bogotá: City of the Lost Review: The movie offers a fresh take on the gangster genre by exploring the experiences of Korean immigrants in Colombia’s criminal underworld. The first half is engaging, but as the movie progresses, it falls into predictable storytelling that lacks emotional depth and excitement.
