Moviegoers have a challenge ahead of them whenever they finally get to watch Alex Ross Perry’s mock rock doc Her Smell: Try not to see Courtney Love in Elisabeth Moss’s performance as spiraling ’90s alternarocker Becky Something. In a recent interview with IndieWire, Moss pointedly did not mention Love as inspiration…
Ever since Jordan Peele released his Academy Award-winning Get Out (and, frankly, set off 2017's incredible horror renaissance in the process), he’s had a slew of projects lined up.
The teaser trailer for Season 2 of The Handmaid’s Tale is here and, shockingly, Drake is nowhere to be found in it.
Elisabeth Moss will play Rosemary Kennedy in A Letter From Rosemary Kennedy. She’ll also produce and Ritesh Batra (The Lunchbox) is set to direct the biopic, according to Deadline.
Think about it—I might be right.
It’s Emmys press season, and Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath is up for two trophies at this year’s ceremony, so this week has been a particularly active one for Remini’s crusade against her former church. Earlier this week, she argued on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that Scientology isn’t a religion…
In its 10-episode first season, Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale expanded far beyond the bleak dystopia first laid bare in Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel of the same name. (This post includes Handmaid’s Tale spoilers for the book and television show.)
It’s crazy to think that we once lived in a time before television. People wanted to make shows, of course, but just didn’t know how. Who would star in them? Who would produce them?
Elisabeth Moss and Nicole Kidman continue to take over 2017, with Kidman right off Big Little Lies and debuting four new projects at Cannes and Moss starring in The Handmaid’s Tale. And now the universe has gifted us the trailer for the new season of the Jane Campion-directed crime drama Top of the Lake in which…
The Handmaid’s Tale is one of the finest dystopian novels ever written, and it is, inescapably and fundamentally, about women’s oppression under an ultra-conservative regime. The much-anticipated Hulu series based on the book doesn’t shy away from the original subject matter; it couldn’t, really, and remain the …
In the first couple episodes of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, there are two aerial shots depicting the handmaids, dressed in vibrant scarlet, flocking together in an animalistic swarm. The first is when they murder an accused rapist at the behest of their totalitarian government. The second is when one of their own has…
Margaret Atwood fans, rejoice! According to the Hollywood Reporter, Elisabeth Moss will star in a made-for-Hulu adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s dystopic novel The Handmaid’s Tale. The ten-episode series is scheduled to air in 2017; Atwood will serve as a consulting producer, and the script was written by The 100's…
We were vaguely aware that there would be a season 2 for Top of the Lake, the bizarre, gorgeous Jane Campion -directed mystery-thriller that nabbed 8 Emmy nominations and briefly made me both terrified of men and desperate to live in New Zealand.
We can all agree that Mad Men has had its share of intense episodes, as it’s explored every hellish crevice of the virulently unscrupulous and morally bankrupt. But last night’s episode, with its escalating depiction of women at the cusp of feminism yet not close enough to save them, was in my mind the most…
Elisabeth Moss is starring as art historian Heidi Holland in a revival of the The Heidi Chronicles on Broadway. The play tells Holland's story through several eras, from the '60s through the '80s, and it also takes on the tiresome idea of women "having it all."
America's most upscale tabloid People held its annual awards show last night, acknowledging the most influential people of its 2014 or whatever-whatever. People being People, its red carpet attracted quite the coterie of A-listers, wearing a range of ensembles from wonderful to disastrous, and a nice little preview as…
In true True Detective form, HBO has released a mysterious unmarked PDF on the internet announcing its two new stars for season two of the ostensibly philosophical/somewhat visually grody mindfuck of a series.
Fresh off wrapping the final season of Mad Men, Peggy Olson herself floated the idea of giving Joan and Peggy their own show because she digs Christina Hendricks and thinks it would be interesting to see Joan and Peggy head into the 1970's. Yes, please.
Mad Men might be ending, but Peggy Olson is not done breaking glass ceilings. Elisabeth Moss, who plays Olson on the show, is rumored to be the top pick for the lone female lead in season two of True Detective. Advertising, law enforcement — is there any profession that Peggy can't conquer?
Apparently rumors have been flying (I hadn't heard them, but okey dokey) that Jon Hamm is cheating on Jennifer Westfeldt by secret-dating Elisabeth Moss. Hamm responded today with a resounding, "Whut?"
