I am really curious about Algernon’s background, and particularly his rise through medical school and his time in Paris. Are we going to see more of that going forward?I think that as we continue this season and maybe even into the next season, we will find out more about what his life was like when he was in Paris. But so far, what I know about it, he says he was accepted and treated like an equal there. [Algernon] has more knowledge of recent medical advances than any man in New York. He really is on the cutting edge of medicine and is one of the best surgeons around. So I think that it’s really interesting to me that this black man who was raised in New York goes away, grows up, becomes the best he could be, and comes back to the place that’s meant to be his home, and is sent to the basement. I think we’re going to explore more as the season goes on, about his relationship with his parents, which is interesting. And obviously we see early on, he doesn’t … [Read more...] about André Holland on

Oscar winner 1917 got its one-shot approach because of James Bond
The credits listed a weather manager or chief meteorologist. What was his role? And how did weather play a role with lighting and continuity?Mendes: We couldn't shoot in the sun and we couldn't shoot in the rain. We needed cloud cover for the majority of the film until it went to night, and so we did spend a lot of time second-guessing the weather. When the weather was bad, we'd rehearse and rehearse and rehearse and perfected the shot, and soon as the weather cloud came over, we went. And sometimes that was a good thing because it adrenalized everybody. We knew we had a limited window of time in which we could get the shot. But we did have a lot of discussions, not me personally, with weather gurus. There are a lot of people studying apps telling us when the clouds were coming over, all that sort of stuff. And I believe he was our chief weather guru. I can't claim to have ever met him personally, I'm not sure whether Roger did either. … [Read more...] about Oscar winner 1917 got its one-shot approach because of James Bond
