Set visit

Season Two of Queen Sugar, the series created and produced by Golden Globe-nominee Ava DuVernay – part I of the premiere aired yesterday, with part II coming up today – was shot in New Orleans where the story of the Bordelon family takes place. In May they were filming the midseason finale - and what a day to be on the set! One rarely gets to see such highly emotional scenes being filmed, much less reading the sides (pages being shot on a particular day), but in the interest of the unwritten ‘no spoilers, please!’-rule, we will not divulge details.

Come with us on an exclusive tour of the House of Cards sets in Baltimore, Maryland, guided by the expert knowledge of creator and showrunner Beau Willimon.  More House of Cards! The style of Claire Underwood - and how it defines and expresses Robin Wright's key HOC character - CLICK HERE.

“I suspect when we come back we'll be in the middle of a presidential election”, Kevin Spacey told us back in November. The cameras were still rolling back then on Season Four of House of Cards as a group of HFPA journalists visited the usually closed set.

(more…).

As Harry Connick jr talks about the film, Winter and her trainer Abby show us how the dolphin swims with her prosthetic tail.

HFPA members were the guests of Sony Pictures Television on the set of the new Charlie’s Angels television show  in Miami, where they were greeted by the director and executive producer, Marcos Siega, who walked them through the set and described the show. “The mysterious Charlie sets up a mission and then sends the Angels to resolve it,” he says.

Visiting the set of the upcoming movie Dolphin Tale in the marine hospital in Clearwater, Florida, HFPA members were introduced to the star and the protagonist of the movie, Winter, the Dolphin whose tail had to be amputated and be replaced with a prosthetic one after sustaining an incurable injury in 2007. Dolphins swim by fluttering their tails vertically, up and down, but after losing her tail, Winter started to swim by wiggling her body horizontally in order to propel herself forward, which resulted in damaging her spine.
