Exclusive: New Regency and Tko Studios are developing a television series based on graphic novel The Banks, created by Roxane Gay and artist Ming Doyle. Gay is set to pen the adaptation, which stems from the exclusive development and production partnership New Regency and Tko Studios entered last year.
The Banks focuses on the women of the Banks family who are the most successful thieves in Chicago. During the heist of a lifetime, they must band together to avenge a loved one taken too soon.
Gay is the author of the books “Ayiti,” “An Untamed State,” the New York Times bestselling “Bad Feminist,” the nationally bestselling “Difficult Women,” and the New York Times bestselling “Hunger.” She is also the author of “World of Wakanda” for Marvel. She is repped by WME, Massie&McQuilkin and Lev Ginsburg.

In August of 2019, Warner Bros released an adaptation of the Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle comic of the same name, The Kitchen, which stars Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elizabeth Moss. The film focuses on the three mob wives whose life takes a dramatic turn when their husbands are sent to prison. The three women decide to get their hands dirty and take over the business, which ends up complicating their situation even further. On paper, The Kitchen had all the potential to be the female version of Goodfellas thanks to its top-notch cast and a director who’s writing

The Kitchen, God’s Wife: Berloff Doesn’t Bring the Heat in Halting Melodrama
Hell may as yet have no fury like a woman scorned, but the alchemy of Andrea Berloff’s directorial debut The Kitchen rarely raises above a simmer despite the tense elements and meaty narrative at its disposal. Based on a 2015 comic series by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle, Berloff, who was notably one of the scribes behind F. Gary Gray’s Straight Outta Compton, the pulpy source material certainly lands squarely in the ‘female of the species is more deadly than the male’ scenario. In a set-up which compares unfavorably to Steve McQueen’s 2018 slow burn genre piece Widows, itself based on a 1980s UK mini-series, three wives of Irish mobsters in 1978 Hell’s Kitchen are forced to scrabble together resources when their husbands get locked up for four years following a failed robbery.…

In “The Kitchen,” writer-director Andrea Berloff’s three women anti-heroes flip the mob-movie script when they take control of the criminal racket that runs the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood in ’70s New York. But one gangster-film hallmark remains omnipresent: violence.
While Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss participate in dismemberment, blood, and graphic gun violence, Berloff said she took lengths to portray those brutal acts in a less-glorified light.
“I was very conscious about how I was creating the violence,” she said at a post-screening Q&a in Los Angeles this week. “I did not let the women go to firearms training because I wanted them, when they held the guns, to look awkward. I didn’t want the guns to look cool.”
Berloff also opted to crank the volume of the gunshot sound effects, which she hoped would make the audience jump.

Oh, what a movie The Kitchen could have been. It seems impossible to screw up a crime thriller starring Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish and Elisabeth Moss as mob wives who turn the tables on the men who done them wrong. On paper, it’s a great idea to have Andrea Berloff, the Oscar-nominated co-writer of Straight Outta Compton, make her feature directing debut with this adaptation of DC Vertigo comic book series by writer Ollie Masters and artist Ming Doyle.

Across the long history of gangster movies, women have usually been relegated to molls, mothers, or voices of conscience; sometimes tough, but never in control. “The Kitchen,” a violent gender corrective set in an Irish mafia-run ’70s New York, has other plans, eager to present its trio of Hell’s Kitchen wives — Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish and Elisabeth Moss — as badass, bloodthirsty bosses in their own right.
It’s an exploitation flip whose time has surely come, but what writer-director Andrea Berloff has cobbled together around this concept (based on a DC/Vertigo comic book series by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle) is little more than another tone-challenged stumble through mob clichés as prevalent as the trash, graffiti and flared threads dominating the period design.

Kathy is good at it. Claire relishes the violence. Ruby wants to control her own destiny. Drawn together by circumstance — or, more appropriately, because their individually unsatisfying husbands all worked together, badly enough that the cops busted them and now their women need to pick up the pieces — the trio at the center of Andrea Berloff’s “The Kitchen” sets about building their own criminal empire with surprising results.
Set in the grit and grime of ’70s-era New York City, mostly in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of its title, Berloff’s feature directorial debut adds a vivid, and yes, very violent new twist on the mob genre, swapping in scrappy ladies in a typically male-dominated world.
That’s the hook of both the film and the story that plays out within it, as Berloff’s film opens with an ill-fated mob job that throws Jimmy (Brian d’Arcy James...

Actress Melissa McCarthy is impressed with director Andrea Berloff, and says her writing has the power to move people.
"There's an economy to her writing that's really impressive. Andrea can put a lot into a very succinct shot and that's the right way to tell a story like this. It really moves," McCarthy said.

"When we first met she was very clear about the tone and the look, the strength and the unapologetic violence. And it's always good when you can give audiences something they don't necessarily see coming," she added.
McCarthy worked with Berloff on thriller "The Kitchen", which will release in India on August 23. Berloff has written and directed the Warner Bros. Pictures production, which is based on the DC/Vertigo comic book series by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle.

New York City, 1978. The 20 blocks of pawnshops, porn palaces and dive bars between 8th Avenue and the Hudson River owned by the Irish mafia and known as Hell’s Kitchen was never the easiest place to live. Or the safest. But for mob wives Kathy, Ruby and Claire–played by Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss–things are about to take a radical, dramatic turn. When their husbands are sent to prison by the FBI the women take business into their own hands, running the rackets and taking out the competition…literally. Now they own the neighborhood. The gritty, female-driven mob drama “The Kitchen,” from New Line Cinema and Bron Creative, is written and directed by Andrea Berloff, who was nominated for an Oscar for Original Screenplay for “Straight Outta Compton.”

Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss star in this adaptation of Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle's The Kitchen.
With The Kitchen, Andrea Berloff makes her directorial debut for Warner Bros. and New Line. Berloff has previously found success penning screenplays for Straight Outta Compton and World Trade Center, but this is the first time she's stepped behind the camera, and what a project she's chosen to break in (and out) with.
It's hard to imagine how anyone could go wrong with this feature film, given the source material. The Kitchen is an incredible 2015 comic book series from Vertigo by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle, with the story revolving around three mob wives - Kath, Raven, and Angie - who take over their imprisoned husbands' organized crime business back in the scorching '70s. It turns out they're really, really good at running rackets. Maybe too good.

Exclusive: It was a female director who gave the industry and Warner Bros the highest overall summer film last year with $412.5 million at the domestic box office and provided the studio the wind to sail past Disney as the first to win the $2 billion domestic box office race. Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman made the industry sit up and take notice when the Superhero origin film opened to $103.2M domestically and $228M internationally. It was one of only three films last year the studio released from female directors. The others were Denise Di Novi’s Unforgettable and Stella Meghie’s Everything, Everything (an MGM co-production). New Line had zero, but these numbers are changing, and for the better.

Even after enjoying a thirteen-episode run of his own series and putting in various Arrowverse guest shots to follow, there’s still much to be explored when it comes to Matt Ryan’s John Constantine. But to his credit, many DC fans believe his portrayal to be the definitive one – and, to be honest, this writer has to agree with them.
But one aspect that we haven’t really seen fleshed out is that of his bisexuality. I mean, he did technically hit on Citizen Cold months back, but the only person with which we’ve seen him engage in sexual congress on Legends of Tomorrow has been that of Sara Lance – who actually happens to be bisexual herself.
Well, as it turns out, we’ll soon learn of a time when the demonologist caught the scent of a man when season 4 picks up. Revealed to TV Line by executive producer and showrunner Phil Klemmer,...
