Exclusive: T-Street filmmakers Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman have set Katie McNeill to become a producer at their independent studio. McNeill joins the film side of the company alongside producers Ben LeClair, Leopold Hughes and Nikos Karamigios.
McNeill joins T-Street on the heels of a big year for the company in both film and TV, where they produced the highly acclaimed films American Fiction and Fair Play, from first time writer/directors Cord Jefferson and Chloe Domont, respectively. American Fiction this week got five Oscar nominations including Best Picture. MRC/T-Street collaborated on the film, which was acquired by Orion and released by Amazon MGM.
Fair Play was acquired by Netflix in a bidding war at last year’s Sundance Film Festival launching the breakout writer/director Domont.

No bullshit here: Poker Face is returning for a second season.
The Peacock series created by Rian Johnson and starring Natasha Lyonne has been renewed at the streamer. The renewal comes as the first season of the T-Street and MRC Television series is rolling out, heading toward its March 9 finale. A season two premiere date has yet to be announced.
The murder mystery drama follows Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a Columbo-inspired murder-solving fugitive who, thanks to her special ability of being able to identify when someone is lying, is consistently calling “bullshit” on the homicidal liars she encounters.
The series experimented with the release format by dropping four episodes at once, followed by a weekly Thursday release of its 10-episode first season. Each episode functions as a stand-alone murder mystery — complete with a new location and cast — with Charlie (Lyonne) anchoring the series as it follows her on the...

During the premiere of Rian Johnson’s “Poker Face” at the Hollywood Legion Theater on Tuesday evening, the cast and crew had nostalgia on the brain.
Viewers who have been longing for a good old-fashioned episodic mystery series like “Columbo” and “The Rockford Files” may finally have their wishes granted by the “Glass Onion” director’s new murder mystery series, starring Natasha Lyonne.
The Peacock series follows a 10-episode mystery-of-the-week template that puts Lyonne’s Charlie on the road with the help of her Plymouth Barracuda, as she solves various crimes from one stop to the next. Lyonne’s character, a “human lie detector,” uses her ability to sniff out the truth in a series of strange situations. Joining Lyonne is a strong cast of guest stars including Adrien Brody, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Chloë Sevigny, Tim Meadows, Benjamin Bratt, Hong Chau, Ron Perlman, Stephanie Hsu, Lil Rel Howery and Luis Guzmán.

In today's slightly-terrifying new era of Peak TV, it can be harder than ever for a fully realized project to see the light of day. Even without Hollywood's new habit of culling their most promising shows, there's still so much that can work against a new series — especially for Lucasfilm's latest, "Willow."
The legacy sequel was 20 years in the making, and a massive labor of love for its creator, Jon Kasdan. The "Solo: A Star Wars Story" alum worked tirelessly to revive the world that had enthralled him so much in his younger days. But even once the green light had been bestowed, there were no shortage of hurdles to overcome.
After seven weeks on the air — or whatever the streaming equivalent is — "Willow" has premiered to warm reviews and a seriously dedicated new fanbase. And Kasdan himself was involved at nearly every turn, interacting with the fans and his cast on social media,...

‘Glass Onion’ Star Kate Hudson on Why Her Character’s Narcissism Isn’t “The Evil Kind of Narcissism”
In Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Kate Hudson plays the eccentric, over-the-top fashion entrepreneur Birdie Jay, who, at the beginning of the film, seems supremely flawed in every way possible. But just like a true whodunit murder mystery, there is more to Birdie than meets the eye — she’s just someone who has “a desperate need to be loved,” Hudson tells THR.
The second installment in the Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) murder mystery series, Glass Onion also stars Janelle Monáe, Dave Bautista, Leslie Odom Jr., Kathryn Hahn and Edward Norton, with the latter playing tech billionaire Miles Bron. Set in the early months of the pandemic, the film begins when Bron invites a group of friends (whom he calls “the disrupters”) to his private island for a murder-mystery party, which naturally devolves into an actual mystery when one member of the group suddenly drops dead.

“We’ve been working on this movie for the last couple years and it’d kind of a giddy feeling to finally get it out in the wild and to let people start responding to it,” reveals Nathan Johnson, the composer of “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” on Netflix. His soundtrack is one of only 15 that made it onto the Oscar shortlist for Best Score, which means he’s one step closer to a potential nomination. He continues on, “In a way, just seeing people’s response to the movie kind of feels like when [director Rian Johnson] first sent me the script and I just read it by myself here. I was so excited about it, so it’s really fun to see other people responding in that way as well.”
We talked with Johnson as a part of Gold Derby’s Film Composers Oscar Shortlist Panel Q&a event.

Like its film, Glass Onion’s score understands the power of characters.
Inspired by Italian composers like Nino Rota and the work of famed author Agatha Christie — with easter eggs to the fugue technique tucked in for eagled-eared listeners — Nathan Johnson’s score represents a type of composing he says has gone out of style, but that helped him unfold the film’s mystery and, more significantly, its equally mysterious characters.
Themes for Andi (Janelle Monáe), Birdie (Kate Hudson) and Miles (Edward Norton) lay bare what’s underneath the duplicity among a tech billionaire’s group of barely friends, as pieces like “Dinner Is Served,” “Snoop,” and “The Puzzle Box” engage in a careful tip-toe as musical embodiments of curiousity and intrigue. Meanwhile, tracks like “Ransacking,” “The Center of the Onion” and “Lights Out!” capture the increasing tension, stakes and danger of Rian Johnson’s latest Knives Out mystery.

“It was at a party,” she said of the kiss. “We were friends. It was ‘Chris wants to kiss you,’ and I was like, ‘Oh great.’ And then we did, and it was really sweet. We kissed, we hung out, and then I was like—maybe I’m not ready for this. Maybe I need to be alone and independent. I think it foreshadowed the rest of my life.”

Kate Hudson’s latest character is “actually quite sad.”
“She’s being held onto by this billionaire that she probably doesn’t like very much but feels tied to,” Hudson says. “She deeply needs to be validated and seen and heard to the point where it’s self-destructive. She always gets in her own way.”
No, Hudson is not in some new movie you haven’t heard about yet. She’s talking about Birdie Jay, the delightful comic confection she brings to life in “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.” Hudson says that when you analyze the flighty Birdie, her problems seem quite heavy but on screen, she flits through as comic relief.
“She’s an absolutely fabulous character with hilarious lines any comedic actor would love,” says Hudson, who rose to stardom with her Oscar-nominated turn in “Almost Famous” and became a rom-com staple with hits such as “Bride Wars,...

As I haven’t had time to check out Glass Onion for myself yet, I’m not sure if these cameos could be considered spoilers, but… we’ll keep the relevant information under the trailer to be safe. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is now streaming on Netflix, and audiences have been flocking to the latest star-studded Benoit Blanc mystery, but the surprises aren’t just limited to plot twists, as there are also a few fun cameos.

It’s perhaps not surprising that a renowned fictional detective like Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc has a circle of famous friends with whom he plays murder-mystery games. But who director Rian Johnson was able to secure as part of the famed sleuth’s inner (gaming) circle for his Knives Out follow-up was a shock to even him.
The Glass Onion director recently revealed how he scored two of the movie’s most notable cameos — late and greats Stephen Sondheim and Angela Lansbury — while speaking to The New York Times. Serving as tributes to two of Johnson’s favorite artists, the cameos were filmed during the movie’s editing process and are featured alongside cameos from Natasha Lyonne and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

With the exception of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," every Rian Johnson film released thus far has been scored by composer Nathan Johnson. As cousins, the two have collaborated on movies since they were children, giving Rian's films an extra personal touch. From the found instrument-fueled sounds on their first feature-length collaboration, "Brick," to the futuristic noir score for "Looper," Nathan Johnson has helped to make the director's films even more distinct than they already are. The composer got a chance to work with an orchestra for the first time when creating the score for Rian's 2019 whodunnit "Knives Out," and the result was a movie that had the most classical feel of any of their collaborations. Aside from Rian's movies, Nathan has also worked on films like Guillermo del Toro's "Nightmare Alley" and video games like "inFamous: Second Son."

Rian Johnson's latest "Knives Out" movie, "Glass Onion," had a week-long stint in movie theaters last month, but it's hitting Netflix tomorrow. The film comes after 2019's very popular first "Knives Out" feature, where we were all introduced to Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc, a famous detective who is extremely good at uncovering the truth in messy situations.
I had the chance to talk with Craig and Johnson about their second film together and what it was like returning to the role of Benoit Blanc. Read on for that spoiler-free discussion, which includes talk about cravats, how directing in a pool made Johnson "chuffed," and how "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" gives Craig "endless joy."
This interview has been lightly edited for clarity and brevity.

So Daniel, I've seen "Glass Onion." It's fantastic — I already told Rian this, so he's heard my praise already.

It is unlikely any movie ever made will recapture the straight-up fever that engulfed so many of us in the lead up to "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." It can be so hard to remember now, but there was a time where it felt like we were never going to get any more "Star Wars" movies and the prequels were going to be it. Then Disney purchased Lucasfilm and J.J. Abrams crafted a bona fide crowd-pleaser that, though nostalgic, also introduced us to brand new characters that a new generation of fans could care for. "Star Wars" was back and it felt bigger than ever.

Rian Johnson’s “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” is almost as famous for Mark Hamill’s controversial press tour as it is for the film itself. Hamill famously objected to certain creative decisions in the film, namely the revelation that Luke Skywalker essentially quit the rebellion after a painful failure and had spent years living a hermit-like existence by himself.
“I said to Rian, ‘Jedis don’t give up.’ I mean, even if [Luke] had a problem, he would maybe take a year to try and regroup, but if he made a mistake, he would try to right that wrong, so right there, we had a fundamental difference,” Hamill said at the time. “But it’s not my story anymore, it’s somebody else’s story and Rian needed me to be a certain way to make the ending effective. That’s the crux of my problem. Luke would never say that.

Having worked together for literal decades (they are cousins after all), composer Nathan Johnson and filmmaker Rian Johnson have forged a fruitful working relationship, and Nathan says the “Glass Onion” director’s secret is in his methodical approach to storytelling.
“Honestly, the secret to Rian’s movies is that he’s never asking the music to fix something,” Nathan Johnson told TheWrap during a recent interview. “Rian scripts are so tight that thankfully he’s never coming to me and saying, ‘We didn’t quite get it in the scene, can you help us across the line with the music?’”
When it came to tackling the score for the “Knives Out” sequel “Glass Onion,” Nathan (who has scored all of Rian’s films aside from “The Last Jedi”) says his early conversations with Rian were about leaning into the “fun, romantic nature” of the follow-up film, pointing to Nino Rota...

The struggle to make United Artists’ Till began, for producer Beauchamp, decades before the cameras started rolling. The film chronicles the life of Mamie Till-Mobley, mother of Emmett Till, the 14-year-old Black boy who was brutally tortured and murdered by white supremacists in 1955 Mississippi. After his killers went unpunished, Till-Mobley became a major voice of the civil rights movement.
“[She] was my mentor and friend,” explains Beauchamp, who directed the 2005 documentary The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till. “My whole career is literally based off of my work with Emmett Till.
