“Wild Style,” Charlie Ahearn needed a fresh way to brand his indie film to appeal to a world that wasn’t yet hip to the cultural movement, born in the South Bronx 50 years ago.So, one summer night in 1983, three graffiti artists created the “Wild Style” mural in Riverside Park — a clever piece of guerrilla marketing that would become the defining symbol of early hip-hop.“I remember being there watching them [paint], and I look over — there’s a cop car about 100 feet away from us,” Ahearn told The Post. “Like everything we did in the movie, it was totally illegal.”And for then 17-year-old graffiti artist Aaron “Sharp” Goodstone, the dusk-till-dawn assignment was more like a walk in the park, compared to his more daring spray-paint sprees.“Painting on [subway] trains, which was our principal direction, was always illegal, obviously — and it was extremely dangerous,” he said.
“You know, the 600 volts of electricity, running around in the tunnels in the dark. So in comparison, I wasn’t nervous.”On Friday, that iconic “Wild Style” logo created by Goodstone and fellow graffiti artists Zephyr and Revolt will be tagged somewhere they most likely never expected — on a special-edition New York Public Library card marking half a century of the culture New York gave the world.
Five decades after the art form was fathered by DJ Kool Herc on Aug. 11, 1973 — at a Bronx birthday party for his sister in the recreation room of his apartment building at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue — the beat of the street is getting loud in the library, with a limited issue of 50,000 cards.“At our Schomburg Center [for Research in Black Culture], we had the original ‘Wild Style’ soundtrack cassette,” said Brandy McNeil, NYPL deputy director of branch programs and

Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer Jeff Zucker is not shopping for CNN, according to one of the backing partners of his new media venture. Gerry Cardinale, the private equity player and founder of RedBird Capital, partnered with International Media Investments last year to launch a $1 billion media acquisitions engine run by Zucker. Reports were rampant in June that Zucker was looking to take CNN off the hands of Warner Bros. Discovery, after running the news network for decades before resigning in 2022 over a consensual workplace affair. “No,” Cardinale said on Thursday when asked if he and Zucker were looking to buy CNN, speaking on stage at the Variety and Sportico Sports and Entertainment Summit in West Hollywood. “I would not have the longevity that I’ve had if I ran my business running around town talking about deals in a way that’s, frankly, disrespectful to David Zaslav.

AMPTP from the June 30 deadline through July 12, the actors guild formally called for a strike during a press conference on July 13 led by SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher and lead negotiator Duncan Crabtree. With Hollywood already largely shut down this summer by the writers strike, which has been ongoing since May 2, the actors strike will complicate things even further. First and foremost, all production will now be forced to shut down completely. Prior to this, some projects had managed to stay up and running by working off of already completed scripts and simply not having any writers on set — including big-budget productions like the second season of HBO’s “House of the Dragon.” Amazon just recently wrapped filming on Season 2 of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” in the U.K., making it one of the priciest shows to come in under the wire. Variety has confirmed that “House of the Dragon” will remain in production, however.
