"Le's play." "Double it this time." Gravitas has unveiled an official trailer for an indie pool hall thriller titled Break, which is a rather obvious pool reference when you "break" the game at the start. This will be getting a limited theatrical release later in April, though it hasn't played at any festivals. In the film, Eli learns that his absent father was a Detroit pool hall legend. He journeys into the Detroit Pool scene, and must confront the realities and dangers of the game, along with his own demons. Michigan-native actor Darren Weiss stars as Eli, joined by Braedyn Bruner as Millie, Victor Rasuk, Jeff Kober, Patricia Belcher, Caleb Emery, Suzen Baraka, Uriah Shelton, Wendy Braun, and Rick Fitts. This looks pretty rough, but it's nice to see a pool movie again, feels like it has been a while since there was one out in theaters. Check it out.

The Baker and the Beauty may be canceled, but Nathalie Kelley has released a new statement on the matter, conceding that the decision to end the drama is "extremely tone deaf."
"We are seeing now more than ever that representation is important for Black and brown people of color. How we are represented on our television shows determines how society sees us, and the empathy and support they will grant our communities," Kelley said.
"When we are constantly depicted as narcos and maids, we can’t expect to find favor with voters when they go to the polls and elect leaders who will decide on the fate of immigrants."
“Baker and the Beauty is a show that depicts Latin families as warm, lovable, full of joy and compassion and humor,” Kelley adds.
“A cancellation by ABC means that there are now no shows on the networks with a Latinx cast.

Don't count The Baker and the Beauty out just yet.
Despite ABC canceling the series after a single season earlier this week, fans are ready to find the series a new home.
But before we get to that, we finally have some insight into why the series was canceled prematurely.
ABC boss Karey Burke revealed to Deadline that the primary issue was the ratings.
“The Baker and the Beauty is a show I was personally very fond of, it’s a very sweet and hopeful and inspired and optimistic show that I wish we had been able to find a bigger audience for,” she told the outlet.
The Baker and the Beauty Season 1 averaged 2.5 million total viewers and a 0.5 rating in the demo, making it ABC's lowest-rated drama.
The series did get a bump in delayed viewing, but it was not enough for the show to continue at ABC.

ABC on Monday opted not to renew The Baker and the Beauty two weeks after the romantic comedy-drama based on an Israeli format finished its nine-episode freshman run.
While the original series has been one of the highest-rated scripted series ever in Israel, its U.S. adaptation did not fair as well, ranking as one of ABC’s lowest rated series this past season. But it developed a passionate core fanbase who have mounted a Save the Show campaign with a petition that has been trending and has already crossed the 60K signatures mark, as well as a fundraiser to support the effort.
Meanwhile, I hear that there are plans in the works at the company behind the series, Keshet Studios, to shop it. The Baker and the Beauty star Nathalie Kelley got fans’ hopes up following the cancellation news on Monday, tweeting that “their loss will be someone else’s gain.

ABC on Monday night announced the status of its remaining bubble series, and while it was good news for one of them, it was bad news for the other.
The Baker and the Beauty has been canceled after a nine-episode freshman season.
Based on the Israeli series, the series starred Victor Rasuk as Daniel Garcia, a regular Joe who works at his parents’ Cuban bakery in Miami.
On the night that his girlfriend Vanessa proposes to him by singing Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” in the middle of a fancy restaurant, Daniel bumps into the beautiful Noa Hamilton (Dynasty‘s Nathalie Kelley), a model-turned-fashion mogul who is coming off a highly publicized split with her cheating actor boyfriend.
An unlikely romance between the baker and the beauty kicks off, but unfortunately, the series went largely ignored in traditional ratings.
It averaged around 2.5 million viewers and a 0.5 rating in the all-important 18-49 demographic.

ABC has canceled The Baker and the Beauty. The hourlong romantic comedy-drama, based on the hit Israeli format, was one of two freshman series left on the bubble by ABC after it made the bulk of its renewals and cancellations last month. The other, drama For Life, has been renewed.
Tipped as comfort-food fare that could be a good programming fit during the pandemic, The Baker and the Beauty had a tough time connecting with viewers, ranking as one of the ABC’s lowest-rated series. Its nine-episode freshman season run wrapped on June 1.
Starring Victor Rasuk and Nathalie Kelley in the title roles, the Notting Hill-esque Baker and the Beauty hails from The Brave creator Dean Georgaris, David Frankel, Keshet Studios, Universal TV and ABC Studios.

“For Life” has been renewed for a second season at ABC, Variety has learned, while “The Baker and the Beauty” has been canceled after one season.
Inspired by the life of Isaac Wright Jr., “For Life” is a fictional serialized drama about an imprisoned man, Aaron Wallace (Nicholas Pinnock), who becomes a lawyer litigating cases for other inmates while fighting to overturn his own life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit.
“It has been a profound honor working with Isaac Wright, Jr. and Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson to create a show that, through the prism of Isaac’s experience in our broken criminal justice system, has been able to highlight the racial inequality that plagues this country,” said series creator Hank Steinberg. “The show’s renewal will allow us to continue to do that and I am extremely grateful to Sony Pictures Television and ABC for all of their support.

The Beauty and the Baker is your new summer fling.
You know, the one that likely won't last, but you hope it does, so you take a chance on it anyway.
It's so intoxicating and exciting that you can't help but get attached after just one date, which is The Baker and the Beauty Season 1 Episode 1.
The series, adapted from a hit Israeli romantic comedy of the same name, is a modernized take on your classic "average guy falls in love with a famous, rich girl."
Set in Miami, the series is injected with a little Latin flair to fill the gaping hole left behind by the premature cancellation of Grand Hotel (we're still mad about it) and the end of our favorite telenovela, Jane the Virgin.
It's a "tale as old as time" hinged on forbidden love that both parties will quickly realize is worth fighting for.

ABC’s “The Baker and the Beauty” is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: An archetype-heavy story of Daniel, an industrious young man (Victor Rasuk) and Noa, a starlet (Nathalie Kelley). After a chance meeting in Daniel’s home city of Miami, the pair engage in a romance so whirlwind that it leaves Noa’s publicist and Daniel’s ex (Michelle Veintimilla) angry at the pair for their own respective reasons. They represent the obstacles, as Daniel’s Cuban-American family generally leaves the door open to Noa, at least before certain differences of viewpoint rear their heads.
It’s all done with charm and a relatively light touch. There are enough credible reasons why this pair might actually click — among them Daniel’s relatable indecision. Bucatinsky is reliably great in the part of a nasty entertainment-biz alpha, carrying all the Hollywood baggage so Noa’s free to be lighthearted.
