“The Deuce” actor Gary Carr will star opposite Chloë Grace Moretz in Amazon’s sci-fi series “The Peripheral” from “Westworld” creators Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, an individual with knowledge tells TheWrap.
Based on William Gibson’s novel of the same name, “The Peripheral” is a “hallucinatory glimpse into the fate of mankind — and what lies beyond.”
Carr will star on the Amazon Prime Video drama as Wilf, a publicist living in the 22nd century. The show alternates between his perspective and that of Flynne (played by Moretz), “a woman trying to hold together the pieces of her broken family in a forgotten corner of tomorrow’s America. Flynne is smart, ambitious, and doomed. She has no future. Until the future comes calling for her.”
Scott B. Smith (“A Simple Plan”) created the series and will executive produce and serve as co-showrunner with Greg Plageman. Other executive producers on “The Peripheral” include Nolan,...

Co-writer and director Dan Pritzker's long-in-the-works biopic Bolden is an ostentatious production with an enigma at its center. An opening title card admits to there being little information about its subject, African American cornetist Buddy Bolden. It then goes on in a second text crawl to claim him as the prime inventor, during the early 20th century, of the New Orleans style of music that became Jazz.
That's some primo mythmongering, though Bolden was a crucial figure in the genre's development whose work was lost to time for a variety of reasons. These include such tragic-artist perennials as drug ...

“It’s self-explanatory,” Wynton Marsalis says, pointing toward the papers in front of him. “Basically, if you look at what I wrote, that says everything you need to know.”
The trumpeter had entered only about 30 seconds before, walking into a small conference room at the New York offices of Jazz at Lincoln Center. Impeccably dressed in a gray suit, he leaned in for a quick hug by way of a greeting. If Marsalis seemed a tad impatient, he had a point: The document he’d prepped did in fact speak for itself.

To celebrate, Smithsonian Folkways will release Jazz Fest, a five-disc box set of live recordings from the iconic fest, spanning 1974 through 2016. You can preview the set now with Trombone Shorty’s hard-grooving 2010 version of “One Night Only (The March),” a track from his album Backatown, which came out that same year.
The set’s 53 tracks span the various genres represented at Jazz Fest, while putting the focus on local artists rather than big-name headliners. Disc...

"Little is known about the life of musician Buddy Bolden: He was born on September 6th, 1877. At the age of 30, he was committed to an asylum where he died in 1931. His only known recording has never been found. He invented Jazz." How's that for an intro? Abramorama has debuted the official trailer for an indie biopic titled Bolden, about the legendary musician named Buddy Bolden - a cornetist who is regarded as one of the key figures in the development of a New Orleans-style of ragtime music, called "jass", which later came to be known as jazz. Gary Carr stars as Bolden, with Erik Laray Harvey, Yaya DaCosta, Ian McShane, and Michael Rooker. Featuring music written, arranged, & performed by Wynton Marsalis. Seems to be a ravishing retelling of his life's story, perhaps not the most polished, but full of passion & zeal. Here's the first official trailer (+ original poster) for Dan Pritzker's Bolden,...

Oscar-nominated actor Jackie Earle Haley continues his comeback, booking a trio of projects in both the comedy and dramatic arenas.
First up is a role in the Will Ferrell basketball comedy Semi-Pro, which Kent Alterman is directing for New Line Cinema. Haley is playing a fan who wins a basketball-throwing contest.
Haley then will segue to the all-star ensemble drama Winged Creatures, being directed by Rowan Woods. Haley will join Kate Beckinsale, Forest Whitaker, Dakota Fanning and Guy Pearce, portraying an abusive husband and angry father.
Lastly, Haley will shoot Bolden! an indie drama directed by Dan Pritzker and produced by Wynton Marsalis, Ed Arrendell, Jon Cornick and Michele Tayler. The period biopic stars Anthony Mackie as Buddy Bolden, the first man of New Orleans jazz. Haley will portray a judge at the center of most of the lucrative but corrupt activities in New Orleans -- notably brothels and Battles Royale, when black men were drugged and forced to fight one another before an all-white male audience.
