A Hollywood super couple has to compete against each other.
12.5. 10:45
Hollywood’s famous super couple will wed this Friday, May 12. In an awkward situation where they have to compete with each other for the attention of the world. Both new movies will have their streaming premieres on the same day, but on competing services.
Ben Affleck’s new feature is Air, a lighthearted drama about the evolution of Nike’s famous Air Jordan basketball shoes, which premiered in theaters only five weeks ago. Affleck directed the film and plays himself as Nike founder Phil Knight.
Lopez, on the other hand, stars in her new film The Mother as a former professional killer who has to leave her hiding place to protect her daughter.
Married couples hardly feel that they are competing with each other. Quite the contrary: While making Air, his wife helped Affleck refine the script and understand the importance Air Jordan shoes once had in American culture — and how much the country’s black culture shaped it. Is. The story tells how Nike recruited Michael Jordan, who was just starting out in his career, as the advertising face of their new basketball shoes, who later became one of the legends of the basketball court.
— she’s incredibly aware of how fashion evolves in culture at the intersection of music, sports, entertainment and dance, Affleck praised his wife in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
– In the case of Nike, a company run by whites was starting a business with African-American athletes to generate sales with a personal brand.
Lopez’s film is more famous. In a TV interview, Lopez referred to the action sequences in The Mother and the training they required.
To be able to take on a role like this at this stage in life is incredible, Lopez said on the Today program.

Fri 12.5. from Apple TV+
Michael J. Fox, star of the famous 1980s Back to the Future movies, talks about both his films and his life with Parkinson’s disease in a heartwarming new documentary. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1991, Fox was only 29 and at the height of his popularity.
One clever man came up with a solution: By activating his left hand even during the filming of his movies, he managed to hide his hand tremor from almost everyone for seven years. Davis Guggenheim’s documentary shows how it was done.

Confess, Fletch
Mon 15.5. from skyshowtime
Do you remember Fletch, the private detective who hit the headlines in two comedies in the 1980s played by comedian Chevy Chase? In the new film, the character will be brought to life by Mad Men star Jon Hamm.
In the comedy based on the crime novel by Gregory McDonald, Fletch Confesses, a detective who often gets into trouble while searching for a stolen art collection, but finds himself a murder suspect. Of course, he can only prove his innocence in one way: by tracking down the real culprit from a long list of special suspects.
The comedy stars Kyle MacLachlan, Marcia Gay Harden and John Slattery in supporting roles. Director Greg Mottola is best known as the creator of the comedy Superbad (2007).
The film did poorly in US theaters last fall: a production run of 20 million only made a return of one million. However, critics and audiences loved it, and Mottola is currently slated to write a new adventure for the Fletch character.

The documentary, directed by Ursula McFarlane, is based on the staged life of Smith, aka Vicki Lynn Hogan, who was involved with oil millionaire J. Howard Marshall, who was 63 years her senior.
