It feels like it's only a matter of time before all the creatives in Hollywood (and outside of it) find a project to work with for Apple Studios and Apple TV+. Ewan McGregor is actually not new to the experience, having launched Long Way Up late last year. And now he's back, teaming up with Ethan Hawke (Sinister, Boyhood) for a new drama feature film.
The Velvet Underground is considered one of the most revered rock 'n' roll bands to ever do it. And now it's getting the feature documentary treatment, which is coming soon to Apple's original video streaming service, Apple TV+. This one has been a longtime coming, with news first breaking on the documentary back in October of last year.
“Ghosted” is allegedly the official title of an upcoming Apple TV+ romantic action-adventure that will reportedly reunite Marvel stars Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson.
Apple's video streaming service Apple TV+ has earned a lot of nominations for its content ever since it debuted. And while it hasn't picked up nearly as many wins, the amount of awards the shows and creators and actors have won is still admirable. And today the company is confirming it has picked up a couple of new awards to add to the list.
Another day, another series order from Apple for its video streaming service, Apple TV+. This time around it's another drama series based on a novel. And this is just the tip of the iceberg, as usual, as we're nowhere near a release date announcement just yet.
In May of this year, it was confirmed that Apple TV+ had secured the premiere for the upcoming drama The Drama of Macbeth from director and writer Joel Coen (No Country for Old Men, Hail, Caesar!), based on the original play written by William Shakespeare. At the time, Apple confirmed that it was once again tapping into its partnership with production outfit A24 to bring the film to not only the small screen via Apple TV+, but also some big screens, too.
It has been a long time coming, and a long time in the works, but we're finally about to see the second season of one of Apple TV+'s launch shows. And in an effort to help build up some attention for the upcoming premiere of the sophomore season of the drama, Apple today has shared the first official trailer. And unlike the first teaser trailer, we get a better feel for the stories that will unfold this season.
Ted Lasso can be described in a lot of different ways, like the fact the Apple TV+ series is aggressively optimistic. Which means to say that while there are plenty of jokes thrown around in the writing, nothing about the show is particularly "scathing." Especially not when it comes to real-world celebrities -- or the football clubs they might own. But apparently the comedy crossed the line in a recent episode, and now Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool, Free Guy) and Rob McElhenney (Mythic Quest, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) are looking for compensation.
The majority of TV-related announcements that get covered here at iDB relate to Apple's effort, Apple TV+. However, sometimes there's an Apple-related announcement that's attached to a different streaming service altogether. Today, for instance, we hear that a legendary actor is going to play Apple's current CEO, Tim Cook, in an upcoming show on Showtime.
Apple just released the first official trailer for the inaugural season of “Foundation,” an upcoming sci-fi series based on the novels written by legendary author Isaac Asimov.
Last we heard about the upcoming Apple TV+ series Wool, it would be starring Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible Fallout, Dune), and that it would be based on the dystopian sci-fi novel of the same name written by Hugh Howey. And that was about it! But now we've got some good news to share on that front.
