After watching The Capture, you'll never look at surveillance the same way. The stars of the Peacock original made this very point on Friday as they opened up about the British crime-drama for Comic-Con@Home. For those unfamiliar with the plot, The Capture stars Holliday Grainger as Detective Inspector Rachel Carey, who is tasked with arresting Lance Corporal Shaun Emery (Callum Turner) for a crime that was allegedly captured on camera. "I've definitely started noticing cameras more than I did before," Famke Janssen, who plays Jessica Mallory, said during the panel. "And I'm incredibly private as a person! I don't do social media or anything…just to protect my...

The Capture is fundamentally a show about screens. Screens are the first things viewers see as the series heads behind the scenes at a CCTV control center where workers remotely take in something horrific happening on the streets of London.
Those same CCTV cameras and the screens they broadcast to are ever-present throughout the show’s six episodes, which tell the story of U.K. Special Forces Lance Corporal Shaun Emery (Callum Turner) who was failed by video surveillance technology once before and may be on the verge of being failed by it once again. The Capture wrapped up its compelling run in October of last year on BBC One. Now it’s set to thrill American audiences when it is included with new NBCUniversal streaming service Peacock at launch.
Given The Capture’s preoccupation with screens, four of the show’s stars spoke with Den of Geek about their own respective relationships with television.

The Hamptons International Film Festival said today that First Man will be its Saturday centerpiece film, Roma will screen Sunday in the Spotlight section and Alan Alda is the recipient of its 2018 Dick Cavett Artistic Champion Award.
First Man, which just had its world premiere in Venice, stars Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong, the first human being to set foot on the moon. Claire Foy and Corey Stoll co-star in the film helmed by Damien Chazelle from Josh Singer’s script; the latter two will be in attendance, festival organizers said.
Roma is Alfonso Cuarón’s first feature since 2013’s Gravity, for which he earned the Academy Award for directing. Inspired by the early 1970s Mexico City, it’s a semi-autobiographical look at a middle-class family making a life for itself amongst political turbulence and patriarchal rule. Producer Gabriela Rodriguez will be in attendance.
