The nice thing with a streaming film such as this is you don't have to pay to watch it. I'm looking forward to seeing it because I still think this is something I'm going to like. But I get the movie because my family subscribes to Prime. So if it does end up being bad, all I've lost is the...

My local theater does not appear to be playing this, so I will see it when it arrives on Prime. Watching a movie about the making of a TV show on television should be fine.

Fandango is listing this as playing at my local theater this weekend. But the actual website for my theater is not listing it at all. So that is confusing.

They've been doing this for a while now. It is important to note that Amazon Studios has had executive changes in the past couple years. In 2019, The Aeronauts with Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones played in theaters for a week before dropping on Prime. More recently, Annette with Adam...

Cinemark also has a deal with Netflix to screen their movies now on a limited basis. Being the Ricardos is an Amazon movie, and Amazon has been friendly with the chains in the past pre-pandemic when a lot of movies from them got exclusive theatrical windows. But I think the pandemic has...

Does anybody actually know which theaters will be booking this? I haven't seen it listed on the schedule of coming attractions at any of my normal places yet.

Lots of new cast additions today: Tony Hale, Alia Shawkat, Jake Lacy, Clark Gregg, Nelson Franklin, John Rubinstein, Linda Lavin, Robert Pine and Christopher Denham. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/tony-hale-alia-shawkat-jake-lacy-join-aaron-sorkins-being-the-ricardos/

Perhaps Sorkin simply felt that she is the best person he saw for the role. That makes sense to me. Because they do have name actors (as well as a name writer) in the other roles, it's not like they need Vivian Vance to be played by a famous person in order to sell the movie. He could cast...

I looked her up on IMDb and she has been in several things I've seen over the years, but never in a big enough role that you would associate the movie with her presence. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3616206/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 The combination of names in other roles, plus the fact that everyone...

Nice clip, but her theater work won't make her a familiar name to movie audiences necessarily. Blanchett, Bardem and Simmons carry much more name recognition. I don't mean to disparage her work at all by this remark, just to observe that she is much less of a name in the business as the other...

Deadline has updated their story I originally linked above. I thought this deserved its own post because they've now heard that Nina Arianda will play Vivian Vance, although her deal is not yet closed. It sounds like it is her role but they're just working out the contractual details. Nina...

J.K. Simmons is playing William Frawley. I think this is a perfect choice. Also, the movie's title is "Being the Ricardos." https://deadline.com/2021/02/j-k-simmons-william-frawley-amazons-lucille-ball-desi-arnaz-pic-being-the-ricardos-1234690543/

I don't know as I never saw that movie either. But I don't think Aaron Sorkin will be making a comedy. If anything, she might have to reenact a scene being taped, but the main part of the movie will be a behind-the-scenes drama about Lucy and Desi's life. That would be on brand for Sorkin. A...

Nicole Kidman is not the first person I would have thought of to play Lucy. But she is a tremendous talent and has done a lot of great work. I don't see any reason that we shouldn't give her the benefit of the doubt here. If the movie comes out and she doesn't work, I'll say so. But I don't...
