William Earl administrator SPOILER ALERT: This article discusses plot twists from the premiere episode of “Manhunt.” The assassination of Abraham Lincoln was one of the biggest turning points in American history, and the new Apple TV+ series “Manhunt” examines the behind-the-scenes drama of a wartime government thrown into further chaos. Edwin Stanton (Tobias Menzies) leads the series as Lincoln’s close confidant and secretary of war, who goes on a mission to track down John Wilkes Booth (Anthony Boyle) after he shoots President Lincoln (Hamish Linklater). The seven-episode series is based on executive producer James L.
Swanson’s nonfiction book “Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer,” and episodes will be released weekly after the first two debuted on March 15. Variety spoke with “Manhunt” creator, executive producer and writer Monica Beletsky about striving for accuracy while still telling a thrilling story, the importance of showing Lincoln’s violent death and bringing period-appropriate hygiene to television. What was your initial research process for “Manhunt”? First, I stumbled upon the figure of Edwin Stanton, and that was my way in.
I thought it was such a fascinating dramatic situation for a lead character to essentially fill in for the president between the assassination and Andrew Johnson the next day. For those 12 hours, we had no conscious president, so it fell upon his shoulders. When I learned he also was this close colleague of Lincoln, that they shared the loss of children, and he had asthma at a time before medicine, I just thought this is just such a rich figure for a lead role.

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has revealed how much money Disney has made from Star Wars.According to the financial breakdown, the company has made approximately $12billion from the sci-fi franchise, almost three times the amount Disney bought it for ($4.05billion) in 2012.This comes on the back of the latest Star Wars trilogy – The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise Of Skywalker – as well as five Disney+ series, including The Mandalorian, The Book Of Boba Fett, Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka.Despite widespread criticism of the new films and TV shows, the franchise has still proven to be extremely profitable, with merchandise and theme park attractions largely contributing to the huge revenue.However, even with the $12billion intake, Star Wars is still not the most profitable intellectual property for Disney.

William Earl administrator Sydney Sweeney is one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, but fans are sure to be shocked by her wild new horror movie that pushes her creativity in front of and behind the camera to new extremes. “Immaculate” is the third project that director Michael Mohan and Sweeney have collaborated on, after the 2018 series “Everything Sucks!” and the 2021 thriller “The Voyeurs.” Their newest creative vision is a project filled with twists, blood and a surprising amount of horniness for a movie set at an Italian convent.
