“Call Jane” Tale Supporting the Legalization of Abortion

Phyllis Nagy directed Call Jane, a married woman, played by Elizabeth Banks, with an unwanted pregnancy. She lives in a time in America when she can’t get a legal abortion and works with a group of suburban women to find help.

Nagy wrote the screenplay for Carol, directed by Todd Haynes, starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara.

Sigourney Weaver, Kate Mara and Rupert Friend also star in Call Jane.

“The Good House,” Starring Weaver and Kline

Co-written and directed by Maya Forbes and Wally Wolodarsky, The Good House follows Hildy Good, played by Sigourney Weaver. Hildy is a wry New England realtor and descendant of the Salem witches.

Thomas Bezucha also co-wrote the script with the directors. Bezucha’s credits include writing and directing Let Him Go and six episodes of the Secret Invasion mini-series. 

 She loves her wine and secrets, yet her compartmentalized life unravels as she rekindles a romance with her old high-school flame, Frank Getchell, played by Kevin Kline. She becomes dangerously entwined in one person’s reckless behavior. 

The situations ignite long-buried emotions and family secrets, propelling Hildy toward a reckoning with the one person she’s been avoiding for decades — herself.

The Good House additionally stars Morena Baccarin and Rob Delaney.

 “Avatar: The Way of Water” Trailers and Images

Directed by James Cameron, Avatar: The Way of Water first trailer arrived 13 years after the first Avatar appeared on the screen, and we experienced the glowing vistas of Pandora.

Jake, played by Sam Worthington, and Neytiri, played by Zoe Saldana, have their own family now, involving Na’vi kids Lo’ak, played by Britain Dalton, Neteyam, played by Jamie Flatters and Tuktirey, played by Trinity Bliss. But there is also a human child, Mile Socorro, nicknamed Spider, played by Jack Champion.

The sequel offers adventures with deep dives into Pandora’s oceans and epic combats, typical of Cameron’s movies.

Producer Jon Landau told Empire, “This time around, we’re taking Jake and Neytiri and building the most universal theme of all around. Which is family. Jake comes from the human world, and Neytiri from the Na’vi world. So, they’re like a modern mixed-race couple, raising kids who perhaps feel they don’t belong to one world or another.”

The rest of the cast includes Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, Van Diesel and Giovanni Ribisi.

Avatar 2 arrives in movie theaters in December 2022.
