The Royals : Season 3


E! NEWS EXCLUSIVE: Elizabeth Hurley Teases Son Damian's ''Obnoxious'' Role in The Royals Season 3: ''It Was Quite a Challenging Part''
Watch the season 3 premiere of The Royals Sunday at 10 p.m., only on E!
Elizabeth Hurley's son has also caught the acting bug.
In this exclusive interview with E! News, the mother-son duo chats about Damian Hurley's debut role on The Royals in the upcoming third season. The 14-year-old, who will play a spoiled German prince turned reality star, admits he's been anxious for this opportunity for a while.
"I was behind the scenes for the first two years, so I was sort of on the sidelines hovering," he explains. "So, it's really good to be in front of the camera…I loved it."
But how does mom feel about it?
"It's been interesting because as he said for the first two seasons he was always on the set because we shot right over his summer vacation from school," Elizabeth says. "He was always there—he was assisting, he was running lines with actors and everybody always said, 'You'll be in it one day, Damian.' And then suddenly it came that they'd written this part."
The 51-year-old actress reveals she initially thought it was "challenging" because of the foreign accent.
"You know, he was this big, huge character," she explains. "And as I said, he's a very good boy in real life and not obnoxious and suddenly he had this part where he had to be outrageously obnoxious, rude to everyone. He had his own man servant...and it was just fabulous for him to have his time to step up."
Watch the clip above to get Damian's opinion on the incredible experience!

E! NEWS EXCLUSIVE: Gigi Hadid Feels Less Pressure About 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Praises "Amazing Girls" - WATCH NOW!

http://www.eonline.com/news/812695/gigi-hadid-feels-less-pressure-about-2016-victoria-s-secret-fashion-show-praises-amazing-girls 

The 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show isn't Gigi Hadid's first rodeo and this time, she feels less pressure and will get to share the stage with more special people in her life.

The 21-year-old model will showcase gorgeous lingerie from the popular brand on the runway for the second time, following her 2015 debut.

Gigi told E! News exclusively that making the show "less about pressure and more about positivity and excitement" has resulted in a "calmer year" for her.

"I just am trying to have the best time and enjoy every second," she said. 

Lady Gaga is performing at the 2016 show, which takes place Wednesday in Paris.

"She is an amazing person that has been such a great friend to me and kind of a big sister and has given me so much great advice in my life, so I'm always excited to be anywhere with her and especially tonight, to be in her section," Gigi told E! News exclusively backstage. "I don't know if I'm allowed to say that but we will be on stage together tonight and I'm so excited."

Gigi will also be joined at the show by her real sister and fellow model Bella Hadid, 20, who will appear on the Victoria's Secret catwalk for the first time.

"Can't believe I get to experience all of this with my best friend!" Bella wrote on InstagramTuesday, alongside a pic of the two backstage. "I LOVE you!"

The Hadid sisters will be joined by the likes of friend and model Kendall Jenner, who is also walking the Victoria's Secret runway for the second time, as well as veteran Victoria's Secret Angels such as Adriana Lima, 35, Alessandra Ambrosio, 35, Lily Aldridge, 31, and Martha Hunt, 27, and other familiar VS faces and newcomers.

"I couldn't be more excited," Gigi told E! News. "This is my second year and I don't ever think it will stop feeling like the biggest dream come true every year. To be able to be with so many amazing girls and to see all of their dreams coming true is one of the most touching, amazing experiences ever. So I'm very excited to be in the show but also to experience it with everyone else is a beautiful thing."

The 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will air Dec. 5 at 10/9c on CBS.

E! News Exclusive: Irina Shayk Is Pregnant!

E! News Exclusive: Irina Shayk Is Pregnant! Victoria’s Secret Model Expecting First Child With Bradley Cooper

 http://www.eonline.com/news/812766/irina-shayk-is-pregnant-victoria-s-secret-model-expecting-first-child-with-bradley-cooper

It looks like this Victoria's Secret model just let the cat out of the bag!

Multiple sources tell E! News that Irina Shayk is expecting her first child with Bradley Cooper. According to one insider, the pregnant star is in her second trimester and is "so excited" about becoming a mother for the very first time. Bradley's rep did not respond to requests for comment on the happy news, however, Irina's rep had no comment.

The 30-year-old Russian model strut her stuff at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Paris earlier this evening, where she made her runway debut for the lingerie giant in a range of barely-there bras and see-through panties. The mama-to-be also donned a trench coat with one of her runway looks and a red fringe robe with another one of her sexy ensembles. Backstage, she kept her midriff covered up while in a signature pink Victoria's Secret silk robe while she got runway ready.

Even though Irina was joined by a bevy of angels for the actual show today, she was noticeably absent from the plane ride to the City of Light with the other famous ladies earlier this week.

However, just one day later, Irina was seen leaving a Paris airport en route to her hotel solo.

The Oscar nominee and model were first romantically linked back in May of 2015 when they were spotted strolling around New York City kissing and holding hands.

And while the two have managed to keep most of their personal lives out of the public eye, with neither side speaking about their romance to the press, these two have made no secret of their love for one another.

E! News reported back in July 2015 that the two were going strong and that "everyone that is close to the couple really thinks this is it for the two of them."

Our insider further dished that the two "just work really well together and want to spend every minute they have free together. Both families love seeing them so happy."

The source also shared that starting a family together was already something that they were seriously considering, saying, "They both want kids one day and that's been discussed between them. They have a huge attraction to each other between them and their personalities and their sexual energies.

"You see them in a room and you immediately are in love with them as a couple."

Congratulations to both Irina and Bradley on their exciting baby news!

E! NEWS BREAKS: LEAH REMINI REVEALS

E! NEWS BREAKS: Leah Remini Reveals If Tom Cruise and John Travolta Have Reached Out Following Her Scientology Claims

 http://eonline.com/news/812498/leah-remini-reveals-if-tom-cruise-and-john-travolta-have-reached-out-following-her-scientology-claims

To hear more from Leah Remini and her experience in the Church of Scientology, watch E! News tonight at 7 p.m. and 11 p.m.

Leah Remini doesn't expect a call from some of Hollywood's most famous Scientologists anytime soon.

As the actress continues sharing her past experiences in the church, a few familiar faces are being brought into the dialogue.

When asked if prominent members John Travolta and Tom Cruisehave recently reached out to her, Leah claimed they are not permitted to do so.

"They will not reach out to me. They are not allowed to reach out to me," she shared with E! News before the series premiere of Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath. "John Travolta by the way is one of the nicest, sweetest people you're ever going to meet.

She continued, "They wouldn't want to reach out to me because what they've been taught is that I mean them harm, that I am an anti-social personality that means them harm, that I literally wake up in the morning and want them to fail in life. That is the mentality."

One celebrity Leah tries to keep out of the discussion is her close friend Jennifer Lopez. Because the singer's dad is a Scientologist, Leah doesn't want to interfere with their family dynamic.

"She's very loving and very supportive but I don't want to put Jennifer in a position where she has to promote this show. I don't want to hurt her relationship with her dad and that's the difference," the author of Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology shared with E! News. "I'm okay with people being Scientologists. I will still be there friend. I will still be the godmother to your daughter. It's you who will not talk to me because I don't believe in Scientology and that's the point."

The Church of Scientology has repeatedly denied Leah's claims and allegations. In response to her A&E docu-series, a spokesperson for the church recently issued a statement to Today.

"Leah Remini's ‘reality' show, like her last one, is nothing more than a scripted, rehearsed, acted and dramatized work of fiction," the statement read in part. "She and the other anti-Scientologists in her program have been expelled from the Church for unethical conduct."

The spokesperson also encouraged people to learn more about Scientology by visiting its website.

For Leah's part, she assures viewers that she feels safe and doesn't regret giving "brave" people the opportunity to speak out.

"The people who are just average people who dedicated their lives to this organization and are willing to tell me their stories, these are the brave people of the world," Leah shared with E! News. "With the series, they will hopefully get the acknowledgement they deserve."

Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath airs Tuesday night at 10 p.m. on A&E.

What John Legend Really Thinks

E! Live From The Red Carpet Exclusive: This Is What John Legend Really Thinks About Chrissy Teigen Volunteering to Be Kim Kardashian's Surrogate

E! LIVE FROM THE RED CARPET http://www.eonline.com/news/810809/this-is-what-john-legend-really-thinks-about-chrissy-teigen-volunteering-to-be-kim-kardashian-s-surrogate

Catch an all new Fashion Policewith special guest Teyana Taylor TOMORROW, MONDAY NOVEMBER 21ST AT 8P ET/PT

John Legend isn't going to let a little tardiness keep him from E!'s Live From the Red Carpet. 

The singer was one of the last to strut that hallowed walkway into the American Music Awards, but he made sure to track down Jason Kennedyand Tinashe to get a little face time before the award show. "I saw the credits rolling and I was like hey, wait a minute!" Legend joked after he made sure to get his interview slot. 

Legend confessed to watching the red carpet broadcast from his hotel room while he got ready (presumably with wife Chrissy Teigen) and also took a moment to praise his upcoming performance of "Love Me Now" with collaborator Meghan Trainor. "It's going to be a great night! There are no surprises, we're just going to give them a really good show," he gushed. 

"We're going to feature some of the music video in the performance tonight," he continued, alluding to Chrissy and Baby Luna's appearance in the video. "We wanted to show love all around the world from our family to different families, no matter where they live. We wanted to show it's universal, that music is universal." 

Then, naturally, the conversation turned to that much-talked-about rumor that Chrissy offered to the a surrogate for BFF Kim Kardashian. To refresh you, Kardashian has been vocal about the difficulties she's endured getting pregnant and carrying her two children, North and Saint. On a recent episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, she admitted that her doctors have warned her that attempting a third pregnancy could be quite dangerous for the reality star. 

So what did Chrissy Teigen do? She came out saying that she would step up "in a heartbeat" if need be. But when Jason Kennedy brought up the topic to John, things seemed like they might go a little differently. 

"Umm, we haven't discussed this," John said of the surrogacy as he let out a chuckle. "We'll talk about it later," he joked. 

You heard it here first!

E! NEWS EXCLUSIVE:  Jon Gosselin's Lawyer

E! NEWS EXCLUSIVE: 
Jon Gosselin's Lawyer Says Kate Gosselin Isn't Telling the Whole Truth About Their Son Colin

E! NEWS www.eonline.com/news/811012/jon-gosselin-s-lawyer-says-kate-gosselin-isn-t-telling-the-whole-truth-about-their-son-colin

Kate Gosselin and Jon Gosselin still can't find themselves on the same page.

The mother-of-eight spoke out on Good Morning America in a pre-taped interview that aired on Monday morning. She opened up about her son, Colin, who has moved out of the house to take part in a special program that teaches him how to deal with his "educational and social challenges." In the interview, she denied Jon's claims that she had left him in the dark regarding the situation.

"We're both court-ordered not the speak about the care and custody of our children in detail," she told host Amy Robach onGMA. "I have known all along where he is. The world doesn't know. And, I'll leave it at that."

Kate—who has full legal custody of twins Cara Gosselin and Mady Gosselin, 16, and sextuplets Colin, Aaden GosselinAlexis Gosselinand Hannah GosselinJoel Gosselin and Leah Gosselin, 12—is also unfazed by any plans Jon has to take her back to court for custody.

"I've lost track how many times he has said that," she said, point-blank. "I'm really focused less on what he has to say."

However, Jon's attorney Kristen Doleva-Lecher spoke to E! News exclusively and said Kate isn't telling the whole truth.

"There is a court order and Jon is strictly abiding by it. The public doesn't know the whole story," she explained. "Jon is absolutely hurt by statements made about Colin and Jon's role as his father. I can assure you that Jon is very concerned about all of his children. He is a loving father and he is acting in accordance with the law to do what's right for the kids."

Meanwhile, Kate also spoke to People magazine about her son's treatment. 

"This is all new to me, and to our family," she said of Colin living away from home. "I don't know what the road ahead entails, but I'm very happy with the care that he's getting, and am still completely comforted by the fact that he is so clearly exactly where he needs to be, getting precisely what he needs — it comforts me as a mother, because when you, as a mom, can't give your kids what they need, it is a huge comfort to find people who can."

Despite missing Colin at home, Kate says, "He's where he needs to be right now, and I can feel good about that."

It's time to find out who the real winners are.

While Sunday night's 2016 American Music Awards ceremony celebrated artists' performances and achievements, tonight's all-new Fashion Police is honoring those who rocked the red carpet!

Melissa RiversBrad GoreskiGiuliana RancicNeNe Leakes and Margaret Cho are joined by special guest Teyana Taylor to discuss the sky-high slits and barely-there ensembles at this year's AMA's festivities. From Chrissy Teigen and Selena Gomez to Lady Gaga and Heidi Klum, no one's look is safe from the Fashion Police.

But first, here's a hilarious sneak peek of Brad explaining how he likes to pretend he's Teyana while dancing to Kanye West's "Fade." LOL!

"Do you know how you sometimes feel you're a really good singer when you're singing along to Adele in the car?" he asks the talented musician. "I feel like when this song comes on the dance floor everybody thinks that they're Teyana Taylor!"

"That's the most important thing!" Teyana responds. "That's what we want! That's what we want!"

"I sometimes want to pull my car over to the side of the road and lay on my stomach and pound on the freeway!" Brad adds.

The 25-year-old dancer (and her bangin' figure) made headlines at the AMAs when she arrived on the red carpet in a sultry Steven Khalil gown that flaunted all her curves.

And even though she took a minor slip on stage with presenting an award alongside pro athlete Bryce Harper, she still recovered like a champ and played it off quickly by busting out one of her signature moves!

You'll definitely want to tune in to tonight's episode to hear Teyana dish behind-the-scenes details about her memorable performance in Kanye's music video!

Watch the Fashion Police 2016 American Music Awards special Monday, Nov. 21 at 8 p.m., only on E!



The hostess with the mostess has officially arrived!

Gigi Hadid caught up with E! News moments before taking the stage at the 2016 American Music Awards, where she dished on all things pre-show rituals and whether or not she's caught up with boyfriend Zayn Malik ahead of the show.

As for setting the perfect mood, the supermodel told Jason Kennedyand Tinashe it's all about keeping cool, calm and collected.

"Today I had a humidifier with some eucalyptus, otherwise everyone that came in felt that very mellow vibe," Gigi, dressed in a stunning off-the-shoulder Robert Cavalli gown, shared. The 21-year-old added that she spent the morning snacking on Fruit Loops, and indulging in candles and "soft things."


Gigi wasn't shy in revealing that she's definitely nervous to host (especially with hilarious co-host Jay Pharoah by her side), but as she explained, "[I'm] more calm after dress rehearsal. I feel like if I just have fun and let myself be a little weird, then it's all good."

Hadid also couldn't help but gush about her leading man, who just so happens to be nominated in the New Artist of the Year category. She called the "Pillowtalk" crooner "wise and creative" (Swoon!), but revealed the two are focused on their respective tasks for the night. 

"I haven't been on my phone. I've been at rehearsal. I should be checking in probably; I'm trying to do my host duties and, like not be the annoying girlfriend," Gigi explained. 

Good luck Gigi! We can't wait to see you shine. 



Kanye West Cancels Saint Pablo Tour



E! NEWS EXCLUSIVE
 Kanye West Cancels Saint Pablo Tour Over Exhaustion: 
How His Workaholic Personality Has Taken a Toll





Kanye West is worn out. 

On the heels of news that the Grammy-winning rapper has cancelled the remainder of his Saint Pablo Tour, E! News has learned exhaustion is to blame. 

According to a source, the star has been working around the clock on fashion design, both on his own line and his adidas line. As a notable workaholic, balancing his projects and the demands of the tour every night has been a challenge for the star.  

Since the tour began in late August, the father of two has been traveling around the country and Canada to bring his music to fans.


However, being on the road and away from his young children and wife Kim Kardashian—particularly after the reality star's robbery in Paris in early October—has taken a toll.  E! News has learned all the time spent away from his family has been a stress on West as he considers them the most important. 

As a second source told E! News, sales are not to blame for the cancellation. "Sales have been amazing," the insider added. 

Sales were so good that fans may recall the rapper originally extended the North American tour into late October with five extra dates due to initial high demand. He later added an additional leg through December.

However, on the night Kardashian was bound, gagged and robbed during Paris Fashion Week, West abruptly ended his performance that night and rescheduled two more shows that month to be with his partner. 

In early November, West cut his Inglewood performance short after 45 minutes. 

"My voice is so hoarse," West explained at the time. "I can't finish the show...I can't let y'all have a show where I can't perform for you." The crowd initially booed before chanting the rapper's name. "I'm very sorry. I love you," he said. "I'll give everyone a refund. I'll do better next time." 

Then, during Saturday's make-up date, West arrived late, performed for 30 minutes and ranted about Beyoncé and Jay Z before leaving the stage early. The rapper's performance scheduled for Sunday was subsequently canceled.  

By Monday, the rapper surprised fans when the rest of the tour was called off, too. According to the original schedule, the tour would have taken West to a handful of major American cities, including Dallas, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia before concluding in Brooklyn at the Barclay's Center on New Year's Eve. 

"The remaining dates on the Saint Pablo Tour have been canceled," a rep for West told E! News in a statement. "Tickets will be fully refunded at point of purchase."

Tuesday, August 2, 2016


The event will take place on Saturday, August 6th from 6:00PM to 11:00PM at the Campbell Stables, West Pond Drive, Bridgehampton, NY 11932.
Not only will you be supporting fantastic organizations and their selfless causes by attending, but you will also meet & mingle with celebrities, enjoy a Fashion Show featuring New York Designers, an art auction, an exotic classic car show and much more!

DADDY DON'T GO --- Premiering on Vimeo this Father's Day, June 19th



   
Daddy Don't Go from Pureland Pictures on Vimeo.

DADDY DON'T GO
A Film by Emily Abt

Executive Produced by Omar Epps (Resurrection) & Malik Yoba (Empire)


DADDY DON'T GO follows the lives of four young fathers - Alex, Nelson, Roy and Omar - as they struggle to navigate parenthood.  For disadvantaged men, parenting is a daily decision.  Filmed over the course of two years by acclaimed filmmaker Emily Abt, DADDY DON'T GO illuminates the various socioeconomic pressures low-income fathers face and provides compelling portraits of men who persevere.  Epic in scale but intimate in focus, the film shows viewers how men can still be present fathers despite having limited means and facing certain obstacles.  By allowing the viewer extraordinary access into the daily lives of its subjects, DADDY DON'T GO removes the negative lens through which underprivileged fathers are currently viewed and offer audiences a new image of the American family.  

Filmmaker Emily Abt was one of Variety Magazine's "Top 10 Directors to Watch," and has produced and directed documentaries for PBS, OWN, MTV, Showtime and the Sundance Channel.  Abt earned her MFA from Columbia University, receiving a Fulbright fellowship for her thesis film.  Her documentary features include TAKE IT FROM ME (2001 POV) and ALL OF US (Showtime's 2008 World AIDS Day film).  Abt's first narrative feature, TOE TO TOE, premiered at Sundance 2009 and was released in 2010 by Strand Releasing.  AUDREY'S RUN, Abt's most recent narrative feature which she wrote and will direct, is currently in development with Paula Patton (Duncan Jones' WARCRAFT), Mike Epps (Lee Daniels' RICHARD PRIOR: IS IT SOMETHING I SAID?) and Pablo Schreiber (ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK) starring.  Abt's latest documentary DADDY DON'T GO will have its world premiere at the 2015 DOC NYC.

Josh Duhamel/Military 360 Video



The film is part of the #EnlistMe campaign -- a Military Appreciation Month partnership with Josh Duhamel, Building for America’s Bravest (BFAB) and automaker GMC. The goal of the campaign is to raise funds and awareness to build smart-homes that meet the needs of severely injured veterans, like Marine Sgt. Ben Tomlinson.

In this documentary-style film, Josh meets Marine Sergeant Ben Tomlinson at his specially designed smart-home in Jacksonville, Alabama, to speak with Ben and his family about their journey and the positive impact this home has had on his life. On his second tour of duty Ben was shot by enemy fire while providing rooftop security for his team. As a result, Ben was paralyzed with limited mobility below his chest.

Duhamel’s connection to the military began a long time ago. He grew up near an Air Force base in North Dakota, has an aunt who completed a number of tours with the National Guard and his grandfather was a proud Marine. In fact, Josh’s emotional visit with Ben and his family took place just after his grandfather was honored in a military funeral service.

About Building for America’s Bravest
Building for America’s Bravest, a program of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, aims to raise funds to build custom-designed, specially adapted homes for the most catastrophically injured American service members. To date, BFAB has delivered, started construction or is in the design stage of 44 smart homes for veterans and their families.

Todd Love, MARINE CORPS Hometown: Douglasville, GA  Third generation Marine, Cpl. Todd Love was on patrol in Afghanistan on the morning of Oct. 25, 2010, when he triggered an improvised explosive device (IED).  He lost both his legs and his left arm.  After the injury, Todd says, “I’ve gained more than I’ve lost. People praying for me have been carrying my life. I’m not sure they realize the power of their prayers, but I feel honored and humbled that people can be closer to God because of me.” Despite his unique tenacity, his loss has carried irreversible consequences: “I’ve had to grow up. At the same time I have had to be like a little child. I’ve had to relearn everything and rely on others.”  Todd’s struggles have not stopped him.  He is currently working on his sky diving certification and is already a fully certified scuba diver.  Todd says he is grateful that with one limb left he can still surf and play Bach’s Solfeggietto on the piano.  Todd received his smart home in Douglasville, GA in the summer of 2014. Todd recently married Amanda Sullivan Love, on April 16th. The two met at physical therapy, and are both very athletic and regularly participate in the Spartan Race. Earlier this year they went hiking in El Yunque National Rainforest in Puerto Rico and said he didn’t think he’d be able to do it so well.

Stephen K. Valyou, ARMY Hometown: Millerton, NY  After September 11, 2001, Stephen Valyou felt compelled to leave his duty as a firefighter and enlist in the US Army. He served two tours of duty, each time gaining new skills and passion for the work.  In March 2007, while deployed in Iraq, Staff Sergeant Valyou was conducting Explosive Ordnance Disposal operations.  While responding to a report of an IED, he was shot by a sniper.  As a result, Stephen suffered a laceration to his liver, lung damage and is paralyzed from the waist down. Stephen is a loving husband and proud dad of two children. He enjoys helping out on his in-law’s farm, and hunting and fishing with his son.  A smart home is currently being built for Stephen in Millerton, NY.

Hill Harper Talks Role in 1982 & New TV Series Limitless



Out Now & on DEMAND
1982 




Hill Harper Portrays "Tim Brown"  Father/Husband
1982 


Published author, and actor  Hill Harper is no stranger to deep roles, however, after speaking with him he told me this one was a challenge. Mr. Harper has never worked with a child before plus not being a father, he really had to learn his character and the role from fresh eye's and perspective.  He told me he hopes people watch the movie not the  race, they see a fathers love for his daughter and fight for his family not a black man and but a man. Granted, once you watch this film you'll notice how devoted his character really is to protecting his daughter, and while fighting for his family even when  falling apart would have been easier.  It's almost impossible to miss how devoted his character really is to maintain his family, but the struggling, conflict for his wife in trying to help her and the protective nature of fatherhood trying to keep his daughter out of harms ways, the movie is a constant roller coaster of emotion from joy, to sadness even a slight hint of anger just to resolve the peaceful feeling of the film coming together.

1982 tackles a family, not from the addict's view, but the family left behind, and fighting for each other and this movie tackles a single father because once addiction hits "Tim Brown" was on his own to raise his daughter. Mr. Harper tells me about the experience of working with the late legendary actress Ruby Dee, he said it was an experience he was fortunate to have before her passing, plus the honor working with her husband the late legend Ossie Davis.  He also talks about the fact that films like this don't make it to the academy awards due to the fact it's not about slavery or civil rights, he expressed the need to understand there are better roles, movies, stories to tell outside of slavery and civil rights, not always about jail or criminals. Furthermore roles like  "Tim Brown" who he considers a hero and an honor for him to portray in the film, a man who is hardworking, devoted, loving, among fighting for his family. He also talked about how it was an honor to work with director Tommy Oliver and the cast, the whole movie will have you rethinking addiction and hopefully the film will show how fathers especially for daughters are essential! 

1982 being an emotional roller coaster with a packed cast of actors, Mr. Harper discussed with me that the movie has it's moments from scene to scene without being rushed or forced. The movie owed each emotion for the scenes you were watching, if you don't tear up that means you're not paying attention. We both focused on how this movie isn't about race nor should you concentrate on race, but the family and fight for love. I asked him what does he want the people to walk away with from watching 1982, and he told me "1st this movie isn't about race, but a man fighting for his family, 2nd that this role of a hardworking man, devoted father are roles we don't see often. Not in jail or a criminal, but a father holding it down providing for his family, with a regular job" and then added "3rd I'd like for you to walk away with a different understanding about addition, we all know someone who has been addicted to something so this film should be easy to relate to, because it's not about race or focused on race but a family. 1982 is available now with a must see demanding endorsement, we also discussed the need for more roles, showing the positive father role in films, the Oscars are looking for that nomination for a slavery film but were much more than that with more stories to tell.
