Steven Soderbergh Says ‘The Knick’ Followup Is In The Works From André Holland & Barry Jenkins
Steven Soderbergh has revealed a sequel to The Knick is in the works centered on André Holland’s Dr. Algernon C. Edwards character. The original series ended after two seasons on Cinemax in 2015, but was not officially canceled until two years later, in 2017. There had long been speculation about a possible new installment. Clive Owen, who headlined the first two seasons of the medical drama, had said that he was done at the end of the second season, though the network had left the door slightly open for a new season with a new lead actor. (Owen’s character died at the end of Season 2.)

Now in an interview with The Playlist, Soderbergh confirmed a pilot script has been written by The Knick creators Jack Amiel and Michael Begler, with input from The Knick co-star Holland, who would reprise his role, and filmmaker Barry Jenkins.

From The Coen Brothers, A Lesson For The Times: Don’t Get Rattled

From The Coen Brothers, A Lesson For The Times: Don’t Get Rattled
We take our lessons where we find them. Too many of mine, I find at the movies. Maybe it’s a generational fault; like others who came of age in the ’60s and early ’70s, I learned to think and talk in film lines. “I know it was you, Fredo.” “Who are those guys?” “Hey, I’m walkin’ here!” That sort of thing.

Lately, I’ve been hung up on not a line, but a title. That is, The Gal Who Got Rattled, which was one of six segments in the Coen brothers’ off-center 2018 Western anthology, The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs.

The 15 Best Movie Scenes of 2018

  • Indiewire
2018 was a year of tumult, of wild emotional swings from tragedy to triumph. The movies released this year seemed exceptionally well-tuned to the current moment — as IndieWire’s Chief Film Critic Eric Kohn noted in his picks for the best films of 2018, this year’s films were the first largely to be greenlit or developed following the geopolitical upheavals of 2016.

To that end, a lot of the moments that stand out from movies of the past 12 months could be called twists — but “twist” feels too sleight to convey the horror of the ending of the Gal Who Got Rattled segment of “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs” or the sadness of the birth scene in “Roma.” It’s more a feeling of anything bad that we fear might happen might really happen, that when we think life is going to zig it just might zag in the worst way possible.

Movie Review – The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, 2018.

Directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen.

Starring Tim Blake Nelson, James Franco, Liam Neeson, Tom Waits, Brendan Gleeson. Bill Heck, Zoe Kazan, Tyne Daly, Willie Watson, Harry Melling, Grainger Hines, Jonjo O’Neill, Saul Rubinek, Chelcie Ross, Stephen Root, David Krumholtz, and Clancy Brown.

Synopsis:

An anthology film comprised of six stories, each dealing with a different aspect of life in the Old West.

The wild west was rough. Structuring an anthology film around such a controversial but uproariously entertaining period in time is also challenging and is both the greatest strength and most glaring flaw of renowned filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen’s The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.

Forget the anxiety of being shot within an unsuspecting blink of an eye like so many legendary figures have met their demise in the era, a blink of an eye is actually about how fast

“The Ballad of Buster Scruggs” offers something for every type of Coen Brothers fan

Brace yourself for something chilling. I, a supposedly serious film critic, run hot and cold on the Coen Brothers. Yes, despite their reputation as masters of their craft, I only occasionally fall for their work. It’s incredibly hard to predict too. I love Inside Llewyn Davis more than almost anyone, but have shrugged off some of their classics. All of this is to say that their latest effort, the western anthology tale The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, actually worked for me, so that should mean something. By having so many tones, it makes it almost impossible for anyone who even sometimes digs the Coens to resist. It hits Netflix this weekend and has been in a few theaters since the weekend. You’d do well to check it out. The movie is an anthology of sorts, told in six separate chapters. Chapter One is literally called The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

Movie Review – The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, 2018.

Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen.

Starring Tim Blake Nelson, Liam Neeson, Brendan Gleeson, Tom Waits, Harry Melling, Zoe Kazan, James Franco, Bill Heck, Grainger Hines, Chelcie Ross, and Jonjo O’Neill.

Synopsis:

Six stories make up Joel and Ethan Coen’s Western anthology epic, taking in everything from singing cowboys, gold in them there hills, a wagon train, and even a hint of Wild West Horror.

The Coen Brothers return to the dusty plains of America, a landscape that served them well with True Grit, to weave this six shooter tale of American morality, which unsurprisingly is inconsistent, but because it’s filtered through their own inimitable lens, always remains a fascinating watch.

It doesn’t help when you swing open the saloon doors with your strongest section. Using that classic genre trope of a book being opened, our first chapter is ‘The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

Starring Tim Blake Nelson, Liam Neeson, Brendan Gleeson, Tom Waits, Harry Melling, Zoe Kazan, James Franco, Bill Heck, Grainger Hines, Chelcie Ross, and Jonjo O’Neill.

Synopsis:

A collection of six Western-style shorts set out on the frontier, taking in stories of a singing gunslinger, a bank robber, a travelling impresario, a gold prospector, a young woman on the Oregon Trail and a stagecoach journey.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs sees the Coen brothers teaming up with Netflix, and it’s sure to be a hit. Returning to Western territory, last successfully mined by them for 2010’s stellar True Grit re-make, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is some of their finest work. Eschewing the standard narrative format, Joel and Ethan Coen have instead written six shorts, told one after the other, all revolving around a different frontier experience – be it a robbery,

‘The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs’ Trailer: James Franco Hangs Out In Coen Bros’ Netflix Western Anthology

‘The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs’ Trailer: James Franco Hangs Out In Coen Bros’ Netflix Western Anthology
Joel and Ethan Coen’s Netflix six-parter The Ballad of Buster Scruggs took the Best Screenplay award at the Venice Film Festival last weekend, and this new trailer shows what the buzz was about.

“First time?” asks an about-to-be-hanged James Franco (at his glib and goofy best) to the doomed, sobbing prisoner next to him.

The Western anthology is a series of tales about the American frontier, each chapter offering a distinct story about the West. As one character says in the trailer, people love to be distracted with stories – “so long as people in the story are us, but not us.”

Thackery (Clive Owen), a physician who works at the Knickerbocker Hospital in New York in the early 1900s.

Why Steven Soderbergh's 'The Knick' Is More Timely, and Better, Than Ever

As she picks at her food in her parents' New York dining room near the end of the Gilded Age, the camera closes in on Cornelia Showalter (Juliet Rylance) as if to impart a secret. Reeling from the news that her onetime lover, Dr. Algernon Edwards (André Holland), is married, her downcast eyes are at the center of the image, but another, expressly political narrative is afoot just beyond the frame.  "What the [Eiffel] Tower shows to me is progress, that even the impossible is possible," proclaims Cornelia's father, shipping magnate August Robertson (Grainger Hines).  "I certainly benefitted from your progressive thinking," replies Edwards, the lone black surgeon at Robertson's Knickerbocker Hospital.  "If that's the case, then why are [Algernon's] parents not invited to this lunch?" Edwards' wife, Opal (Zaraah Abrahams), asks pointedly, as the scene finally cuts away from Cornelia's face. "I suppose we have different...

Review & Recap: ’The Knick’ Season 2, Episode 5, ‘Whiplash’

Not to get too political or even too sensitive, but on Friday night, just a few days after bombings in Beirut and during bloody and gruesome terrorist attacks on Paris, it was a little difficult to watch Cinemax’s “The Knick.” When a subway explosion went off in the New York City of 1901, the Knickbocker hospital was littered and overflowed with a continuous stream of bloodied bodies. It’s drama of course, and nothing to do with terrorist acts, but the maimed body count, and extreme level of panic and chaos certainly added an extra chilling layer to the evening’s episode. The accidental subway explosion is of course the same subway plan that Henry Robertson (Charles Aitken) has secretly invested into without his father, Captain August Robertson’s (Grainger Hines), knowledge. There’s something percolating here too with the Robertson’s and their money. Henry wants to sell a
