Paapa Essiedu addressed reactions to his casting in the upcoming Harry Potter television series. He discussed his role as Severus Snape and the attention surrounding the project.
Paapa Essiedu on controversy surrounding his casting in Harry Potter TV show
Paapa Essiedu said he has received race-fuelled abuse and death threats following his casting as Professor Severus Snape in the upcoming Harry Potter television series. He told The Sunday Times, “I’ve been told, ‘Quit or I’ll murder you,’” and added, “If I look at Instagram I will see somebody saying, ‘I’m going to come to your house and kill you.’” He stated, “Nobody should have to encounter this for doing their job.”
Essiedu acknowledged the emotional impact of the abuse, saying, “I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t affect me emotionally.” He added that despite the threats, “while I hope I’ll be OK, nobody should have to encounter this.” The actor emphasised that the backlash followed his casting in a role previously portrayed by Alan Rickman.
Essiedu said the response has also motivated him in his approach to the role. He stated, “The abuse fuels me,” and explained it has made him “more passionate about making this character my own.” He added that representation was significant, saying he thought about “the idea that a kid like me can see themselves represented in that world.”
The actor also spoke about his connection to the Harry Potter books, stating, “I was an avid reader as a kid.” He said, “My mum couldn’t afford a babysitter in the holidays, so she would take me to the library,” and added, “I loved ‘Harry Potter.’” He confirmed he had not watched the original films but described the books as “escapism when other things were less easy for me.”
The studio will launch the series in 2027 with a new cast, including Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout. Essiedu has signed a ten-year contract and said, “It was a big commitment,” adding, “I’ll be 45 by the time I finish.”

Here’s everything you need to know about the future of When Calls the Heart.
Has Hallmark canceled When Calls the Heart or renewed it for Season 14?
When Calls the Heart has been renewed for Season 14, and its production is set to begin next year, with the series currently expected to return in 2027.
As reported by Variety, the show has been officially renewed, meaning When Calls the Heart will be back for Season 14.

While Richard Linklater’s ambitious adaptation of Merrily We Roll Along is still two decades away, fans can at least enjoy a wonderfully filmed version of the 2023 Broadway revival. Featuring a star-studded cast of Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff, and Lindsay Mendez, the unique musical is charmingly performed. Now available to own at home, the Merrily We Roll Along Blu-ray allows fans to rewatch Maria Friedman’s revival any time they want.
“Spanning two decades, Merrily We Roll Along traces the complex, often heartbreaking unravelling of a once-unbreakable friendship between composer Franklin Shepard (Jonathan Groff) and his two closest friends playwright-lyricist Charley (Daniel Radcliffe) and writer Mary (Lindsay Mendez) . But this is no ordinary story. Told in reverse, the film winds backwards through time, beginning in fractured adulthood and journeying back to the bright-eyed optimism of youth when everything still seemed possible. Long considered a cult classic ahead of its time, Merrily We Roll Along features some of Stephen Sondheim’s most personal and piercing songs. Now, in a bold new cinematic interpretation of the Tony Award-winning musical, the film invites audiences into the heart of the story not just watching it unfold but inhabiting it. Shot with intimacy and immediacy, it places viewers on stage and inside the action, offering a deeply immersive experience that reveals the emotional truth of the piece in a way no theatre seat ever could,” says the official description.
The core conceit of Merrily We Roll Along is that it’s told in reverse. The film begins with a celebration of a hit film release that soon turns sour after a fractured friendship is brought up. The film is then a series of flashbacks, with a story of ambitious artists coming together and then falling apart due to the business side of the industry and personal shortcomings. However, due to its reverse nature, it winds up ending at a happy, inspiring note rather than the bummer it’d be if told chronologically.
I saw the filmed version in theaters last year, and thankfully, it holds up on rewatch. All three of the leads are stellar, with Radcliffe really shining when performing “Franklin Shepard, Inc.” Groff’s transformation over the course of the story is also great to see, as his wide-eyed optimism at the end is a far cry from what we see in the beginning. The Merrily We Roll Along Blu-ray does these performances justice as the proshot has great detail and sounds incredible with a DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track.
The only bummer about the Merrily We Roll Along Blu-ray is the sparse bonus features. All that is there is a theatrical trailer. A commentary track with the cast would’ve been great, especially with how charming they all are, but nothing additional is included.
Merrily We Roll Along Blu-ray Review: Final Verdict
The Merrily We Roll Along Blu-ray is a great way to enjoy the Broadway musical at home. Looking great and sounding even better, the filmed version of the stage production is charming and filled with catchy songs. The performances of Radcliffe and Groff really stand out, and it will be fun to compare them to the Linklater film in … well, 20 years or so.

Warner Archive Collection’s latest genre-themed compilation collects six classic movies based on Broadway musicals. Wonderful stars, such as Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra, Natalie Wood, Gene Kelly, and Twiggy appear in this assortment of musicals. The six musicals are: Guys and Dolls, Gypsy, The Pajama Game, Damn Yankees, Briagadoon, and The Boy Friend.
“6 big stage musical favorites are brought together for this dazzling collection of musical favorites. Frank Loesser’s Guys and Dolls starring Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra, Rosalind Russell and Natalie Wood star in Gypsy, the dynamic choreography of Bob Fosse adds zing to Doris Day in The Pajama Game and Gwen Verdon in Damn Yankees, Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse shine in Lerner and Loewe’s Brigadoon, and Ken Russell’s wild imagination creates an homage to the genre as Twiggy stars in The Boy Friend,” says the official description.
The earliest film included is 1954’s Brigadoon, which stars Gene Kelly, and while it isn’t my favorite Kelly performance, him and Cyd Charisse are still charming throughout. 1955’s Guys and Dolls is the most famous of the films included, and for good reason, as it’s a classic with a stacked cast and “Luck Be a Lady” is still quite catchy. The biggest surprise for me was 1957’s The Pajama Game, which features most of the original Broadway cast (similar to the Rent film) but adds in Doris Day. Interestingly, it was planned to be remade by John Hughes in the 90s, but it sadly never happened, although the original holds up well and can still be enjoyed.
1958’s Damn Yankees is also iconic and is quite unique as a supernatural sports musical (can you think of a more niche genre?). It is still fun to revisit with “Whatever Lola Wants” being a great song and its cast largely being the Broadway cast besides Tab Hunter. I wasn’t very familiar with the Rosalind Russell and Natalie Wood-led Gypsy, but it has lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and is quite funny. Finally, 1971’s The Boy Friend, which stars Twiggy, is the most modern film of the bunch. One of director Ken Russell’s most underrated movies, it really showcases Twiggy as a star throughout and has aged quite well.
Each film is included on its own disc in the Broadway on the Big Screen collection, which means we get several bonus features included, just like the original stand-alone releases. Brigadoon features four deleted scenes and a trailer, while The Pajama Game has one unused song, a song selection, and a trailer. Guys and Dolls has pretty extensive bonus features as it has two length featurettes titling to 50 minutes on the film’s creation, plus several interviews, musical performances, and its trailer. Damn Yankees is the weakest of the bunch, with two trailers and a song selection. Finally, Gypsy has two thought-to-be-lost songs and a trailer, while The Boy Friend has a nine-minute featurette that has Twiggy and Russell discussing the film and its trailer.
Broadway on the Big Screen Collection Blu-ray Review: Final Verdict
A strong and varied collection of musical movies that were based on Broadway hits, the Broadway on the Big Screen Collection Blu-ray is an easy recommendation for any fans of the genre. Not only does it feature plenty of star power, but the transfers are strong with each of the six films looking sharp and sounding great.

Fortunately, the box office predictions for The Devil Wears Prada 2 are not moving at a glacial pace. An early projection has the upcoming comedy drama sequel, which reunites Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, making a breakout debut when it arrives on Friday, May 1, 2026. Anticipation for a follow-up to the original 2006 film remains high, with a February trailer for the Disney and 20th Century Studios movie amassing over 14 million views on YouTube. Because of this, fans think that this prediction is relatively low for the level of hype behind The Devil Wears Prada 2, though there’s still a month for the movie to continue building momentum before its release.
The Devil Wears Prada sequel has strong early projections at the box office
An early box office projection for The Devil Wears Prada 2 believes that it will earn more than $55 million in its domestic opening weekend. As a comparison to the domestic openers for other movies, this puts the sequel behind the $76 million projection for Project Hail Mary, but above the $22 million for Lee Cronin’s The Mummy and the $27 million the original 2006 movie earned.
This $55+ million figure comes from a March 20 report from BoxOfficeTheory, which provides several reasons why the prediction is so starting out high. The report notes that fans of the first The Devil Wears Prada have been waiting two decades for a sequel. Not only will the original cast return, alongside new members Justin Theroux as Emily Charlton’s husband and Kenneth Branagh as Miranda Priestly’s husband, but the original director David Frankel and original writer Aline Brosh McKenna are making a comeback too.
An October report from Variety confirms that mega star Lady Gaga will be making an appearance in the movie in an role that is not yet known. Other notable actors for the film include Sydney Sweeney, Lucy Liu, Donatella Versace, and Rachel Bloom.
More importantly, The Devil Wears Prada 2 serves a demographic that is not as frequently represented: female audiences over the age of 35. The sequel will kick off the summer season with a bang and will benefit from its release date being so close to Mother’s Day, which is on May 10 in 2026. Along with the impressive trailer, the pre-sales for the movie have kept up with the report’s expectations, with early trends and social media activity marking the sequel as among the best of the year, alongside Project Hail Mary and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
Better yet, the film is releasing during a relatively light period for theatrical releases. Its main competition will be Mortal Kombat II on May 8, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu on May 22, and Masters of the Universe on June 5, but the genres and demographics for these three higher-profile movies are markedly different from The Devil Wears Prada 2’s.
That said, fans are generally unhappy with the $55+ million prediction based on comments in a thread on the Box Office Reddit, in a similar manner to the prediction for the Michael biopic. Several users are predicting the movie to hit the $80 million mark for its domestic opener and possibly achieving $100 million. They point to the broad appeal of the sequel and how its nostalgic draw will pull casual audiences to theaters. While some believe the early projection is a lowball, others view it as more of a starting point and that future projections will likely increase as presales for the film continue to be tracked and 20th Century Studios pushes The Devil Wears Prada 2 more aggressively in the final weeks before its debut.
One of 20th Century Studios‘ acclaimed sci-fi action movies has finally found a new streaming home, more than two years after its theatrical debut. From Rogue One: A Star Wars Story director Gareth Edwards, 2023’s John David Washington-led film The Creator is now officially available to stream on Netflix.
What do we know about Star Wars director Gareth Edwards’ The Creator movie?
The Creator was also led by Gemma Chan, Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson, Madeleine Yuna Voyles, Allison Janney, Ralph Ineson, and more. It currently holds a Popcornmeter rating of 75% on Rotten Tomatoes. The epic sci-fi movie also received two Academy Award nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Sound in 2024.
“Amidst a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, Joshua, a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife, is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war. . . and mankind itself,” reads the official synopsis. “Joshua and his team of elite operatives journey across enemy lines, into the dark heart of AI-occupied territory . . . only to discover the world-ending weapon he’s been instructed to destroy is an AI in the form of a young child.”
The Creator was directed and produced by Edwards, who co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Weitz. It was produced by Kiri Hart, Jim Spencer, and Arnon Milchan, with Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Natalie Lehmann, Nick Meyer, and Zev Foreman serving as executive producers. The film also featured music composed by award-winning composer Hans Zimmer.
Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Nosferatu, Nocturnal Animals) has officially signed on to star in his first major TV show with Netflix. It will be based on André Aciman’s bestselling 2017 novel, Enigma Variations.
What do we know about Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s new Netflix show?
Taylor-Johnson is set to play a man named Paul as he embarks on a globe-trotting tour of passion and romance spanning from his childhood in Italy to his adulthood in New York. The series adaptation of Enigma Variations will be written and executive-produced by A.K. Shuman (The Wheel of Time), with Oliver Hermanus (The History of Sound, Living) serving as its director. Executive producers are Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer for Media Res, alongside Aciman and Monica Levinson.
“It tells the story of a man remade by the lovers who ignite and undo him over the course of ten transformative years,” reads the synopsis. “It’s an intimate yet sweeping portrait of masculinity, sexuality, and modern love — and in a world of endless choices, it asks the question: will we know when we’ve found the one?”
This marks Taylor-Johnson’s first major TV project in nearly two decades, after starring in the drama miniseries Nearly Famous and in the TV film Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars. The Kraven the Hunter star is no stranger to the romance genre, having previously appearing in 2008’s Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging and 2012’s Anna Karenina. He recently starred in last year’s horror thriller sequel 28 Years Later and the heist movie Fuze. Taylor-Johnson will next be seen in Robert Eggers’ Werwulf movie and Cary Joji Fukunaga’s crime thriller Blood on Snow.
Peacock has finally announced the release date for The Five Star Weekend, its newest limited drama based on Elin Hilderbrand’s 2023 novel of the same name. In addition, the streamer has also shared the first photos from the show, featuring a first look at its main cast led by Golden Globe winner Jennifer Garner and Scary Movie star Regina Hall.
When is the release date for Peacock’s The Five Star Weekend series?
The Five Star Weekend is scheduled to make its debut on July 16, 2026, exclusively on Peacock.

“The series is centered on Hollis Shaw, a famed cook and best-selling author known for her delicious recipes, impeccable taste, and warm demeanor, who suffers a devastating loss. Unable to move forward, the death starts to expose the cracks in Hollis’s picture-perfect life—her strained marriage, her complicated relationship with her daughter, and her growing pursuit of validation from her fans,” reads the official synopsis. “In an effort to overcome grief and find herself again, Hollis gets the idea to host a weekend away at her house on Nantucket with three friends from different stages in her life: her childhood, her twenties, her thirties, and one surprise fifth star. Set against a luxurious and coastal backdrop, the stars will mature in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.”
The 8-episode show is created, written, and executive-produced by Bekah Brunstetter. Executive producers are writer Beth Schacter, director Minkie Spiro, Hilderbrand, and Merri Howard, alongside Sue Naegle and Ali Krug for Dinner Party Productions. It hails from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group.
ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke with Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man director Tom Harper about the new film that serves as a conclusion to the television show. Harper discussed the reasoning for making a film, the spiritual side of Tommy Shelby that gets explored, and working with Barry Keoghan. The film begins streaming on Netflix on March 20.
“Birmingham, 1940. Amidst the chaos of WWII, Tommy Shelby is driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet. With the future of the family and the country at stake, Tommy must face his own demons, and choose whether to confront his legacy, or burn it to the ground. By order of the Peaky Blinders…” reads the official synopsis.
Tyler Treese: Tom, a lot of TV shows that get film adaptations usually lean into fan service, but I don’t think anybody expected that from you and Stephen. This is definitely not that type of film. Instead, there’s meaningful character development. There’s a lot of finality. There are some deaths. Can you speak to your point of view coming into this? Because it seems like the whole creative team didn’t want to do this unless you really had something to add, since we already had a very good series finale.
Tom Harper: Yeah, I think that it felt like there was something else to say about the life of Tommy Shelby. I think that Steve always from the very beginning wanted to tell the story of Tommy Shelby between the two World Wars. Between the First World War, where Tommy’s life is fundamentally thrown off course, and to stretch through the period of time as he starts to take back control over his life and try and fight for his family and his people. He wanted to take that up to the Second World War. So that was almost the bookend because the history repeating itself. So I think it was always in Steve’s mind that he wanted to take it to this point, and to tell this chapter in the life of Tommy Shelby.
Cillian Murphy gets so much to work with in this film. We’ve always seen this spiritual side of Thomas Shelby, but we see a lot more of his gypsy beliefs explored in this film. There’s also this seeking for atonement, which is relatively new for Tommy. What was most interesting about exploring those two themes for you?
I think Tommy’s obviously always had a connection with ghosts and with the other side, with the spiritual world. But I think that as he has got older, as Kaulo says to him in one of the scenes, “You live in a house full of ghosts that died because of you.” He’s more deeply affected. He’s had more loss. He’s lost his daughter, he’s lost Polly, he’s lost family members. I think he’s now in this place where he feels very close and where it would be almost a relief for him to pass over himself.
So he’s sort of he’s interested in the afterlife. He’s almost studying the afterlife. As we find it. He thinks he’s onto something. He’s sort of twisted and living with the ghosts until Kaulo comes and almost takes him back in a seance to help him bring him back to the world so that he can save his son and Britain in one combined act.
Tyler Treese: The Peaky Blinders movie focuses a lot on Duke, Tommy’s son. Can you speak to the recasting and getting Barry in for this role? Because what really impresses me about Barry is that he’s always able to show that he can snap at any moment, but he also feels overwhelmed. You feel the pressure in his performance, where you never know which way he’s going to go. So, can you speak to why Barry was the right choice for this role?
Tom Harper: Yeah, I mean, I think there’s an unpredictability to Barry that is that is really interesting, isn’t it? But I think the thing that I always thought would be great for Barry about this role is that he is a very powerful, has great strength, and is very charismatic. So he has that power, but at the same time, he’s just under the surface. There’s this vulnerability, and you can feel that vulnerability in everything he does.
That is essentially what this story is about. It’s about a son that’s been abandoned or feels abandoned by his father. This is a story about a father and a son. I think that there’s not very many people in the world that have that strength, but with that vulnerability so close to the surface.
You’ve directed fantastic episodes of the show, so what did it mean for you to be the one who was approached to wrap up this series with the Peaky Blinders movie?
It felt really lovely, you know, like having enjoyed my time working on Season 1, building relationships with Steve and Cillian and with many other people. I’ve worked with the cinematographer, George Steel ever since, and obviously a lot of the other cast members, Sophie, Packy, Ned. There’s plenty of people who I really loved working with.
So to come back felt like a really lovely, it felt like coming full circle. It felt like we started something off, and then it took off to become this amazing thing that we never really dreamed it would become. Then to come off and tell this part of the story felt a really lovely thing to be able to do.
How was it filming the shootout in the stables? I thought that was such a perfect experience, especially for Tommy and his connection to horses, to finally have a shootout there.
It was great. It feels like a proper Western. It’s actually got one of my favorite shots in it when Tim Roth turns up as Beckett, and it just takes its time. There’s a sort of a slow burn to it, but it’s full of tension because you know that it’s all going to go off. Then to have it in a mortuary with the horses and the funeral wagon, and then just to shoot the shit out of it is, it was really… it was really fun, but also like it’s two worthy adversaries.
That’s actually what makes it. A fight when one person is so clearly going to win. I don’t think it’s particularly interesting. But when you have, you’re not quite sure what’s going to happen. And particularly, the additional element of that, it’s not just in terms of the action, but also in terms of the conversation. They’re sparring both as characters as well as with the gunfight.
Thanks to Tom Harper for taking the time to talk about Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.
The first details on Glen Powell’s newest project have been unveiled.
What do we know about Glen Powell’s crocodile horror movie?
Lionsgate has landed screenwriters Kas Graham and Rebecca Pollock’s horror-thriller project, The Death Roll. Powell is set to produce the movie via his Barnstorm banner, alongside Dan Cohen. The Order producer Bryan Haas will also produce The Death Roll via Chasing Epic Pictures. Barnstorm’s Ryan Schwartz will executive produce.
The Death Roll will center on a saltwater crocodile turning a supposedly lovely vacation into a night of survival. According to the plot details, the movie “follows a couple whose dream vacation turns into a nightmare when they encounter the unexpected: an invasive 15-foot saltwater crocodile.”
Other details about the movie, including the cast, remain under wraps. It wasn’t revealed yet if Powell will also star in the project in addition to sitting in the producer’s chair. The Death Roll won’t be Powell’s first project as a producer, having previously co-produced Netflix’s rom-com crime movie Hit Man and Columbia Pictures’ biographical war movie Devotion. Powell also starred in both projects.
Powell recently produced the 2024 documentary film The Blue Angels. Earlier this year, it was reported that the actor will be starring alongside Jenna Ortega (Wednesday) in J.J. Abrams’ new feature, The Great Beyond, set for theatrical release on November 13, 2026.
Best known for his roles in Top Gun: Maverick and Twisters, Powell’s other movie credits include The Expendables 3, Hidden Figures, Anyone but You, Set It Up, The Running Man, and — most recently — How to Make a Killing.
On television, Powell starred as Chad Radwell in the satirical dark comedy Scream Queens. He also played the titular Chad Powers in Hulu’s sports comedy, in which he also served as co-creator, writer, and executive producer.
Netflix has officially announced the Season 2 renewal of one of its latest comedy series, which had just made its debut last January. Titled Free Bert, the show was led by stand-up comedian Bert Kreischer, who plays a meta version of himself.
“In Season 1, Bert Kreischer—shirtless comedian, party legend, perpetual wildcard—finds himself in uncharted territory when his daughters are accepted to an elite Beverly Hills private school. When his unbridled antics turn his family into outcasts, he decides to “put on a shirt” and stifle his true nature to better fit in,” reads the logline for its debut season.
What do we know about Netflix’s Free Bert Season 2?
Just like with the first installment, production on Free Bert Season 2 is also expected to take place in Atlanta, GA. Further details about the new season’s plot and characters are still under wraps. The show is created by Kreischer, Jarrad Paul, and Andy Mogel, with Paul and Mogel also serving as the showrunners, writers, and directors. The cast also includes Arden Myrin and Chris Witaske, along with newcomers Lilou Lang and Ava Ryan. It currently holds a Tomatometer rating 67% on Rotten Tomatoes.
“We’re incredibly grateful to Netflix for believing in this show and giving us the chance to continue the freeing of Bert,” Paul and Mogel said in a statement.
The renewal comes ahead of Kreischer’s appearance at the Netflix is a Joke Festival 2026, where he’ll be performing the Bert and Shaq’s Crowd Work Show at The Comedy Store on May 8. He is also set to host the 2 Bears 5K with Tom Segura and Jelly Roll at The Rose Bowl on May 9.

Villains in the game include iconic Batman characters like The Joker, The Penguin, Poison Ivy, Ra’s al Ghul, Bane, and more.
Legacy of the Dark Knight also sports a new combat system, that aims to capture the feel of Batman’s fighting style. The game can be played in local cooperative mode as well.
“The game takes place against the backdrop of Gotham City, an open-world LEGO playground full of crimes to stop, puzzles to solve, rewards to collect, and surprises to discover around every corner, down every alleyway, and on every rooftop,” reads the game’s official description. “Players can grapple, glide, or drive through the environment, zipping from building to building with Batman’s grapple launcher, soaring over the city with the Batglider, or cruising around in style with a range of Batmobiles and Batcycles. The Batcave can also be customized to display vehicles, trophies, and collectibles, plus an assortment of wearable Batsuits based on past Batman related media.”

In 2024, Sony released Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip in 4K. It was a real treat, as it was very well shot, and the set itself was hilarious. Now we have another special getting the 4K treatment with Richard Pryor: Here and Now. While it’s not as famous as Live on the Sunset Strip, it’s still a hilarious time, even if it doesn’t look nearly as good as the previous release.
“This high-voltage concert film shot in New Orleans, features the sensational Richard Pryor in his prime,” says the official description. “Doing some of his most innovative material, Pryor takes charge on stage with an electrifying style and an unequaled comedic genius, in an incredibly funny performance guaranteed to rock you with side-splitting laughter!”
Richard Pryor: Here and Now was released just a year after the success of Live on the Sunset Strip, and it speaks to how great Pryor was that he was able to do a completely different set that is this funny that soon after. The beginning is of the film is padded with crowdwork and some rough on-the-street interviews with fans. Things pick up when the comedian is able to get into his set, and there are some all-time great moments, such as Pryor impersonating a heroin user, recounting a trip to Zimbabwe, and his experience meeting Ronald Reagan (“I met the president. We in trouble.”).
Despite coming out after Live on the Sunset Strip, Richard Pryor: Here and Now looks and sounds much worse. It was originally shot on videotape, so there’s not nearly as much detail as the prior special despite Dolby Vision being deployed. Sound quality also isn’t as clear as you’d want, particularly during the crowd work segments, and the audio levels can feel uneven at times. While it seems the team at Sony did the best they could with the source material, it doesn’t seem like this special was as well-suited for a 4K release as one would like.
Somehow, Here and Now managed to not even live up to Live on the Sunset Strip’s bonus content, which only had a trailer. This time, it has absolutely nothing besides the feature film. It is worth noting, though, that the 4K release does come with a digital copy, so at least you can stream it at home as well. Still, it’s disappointing to not even get a trailer or any retrospective.
Richard Pryor: Here and Now 4K Review: Final Verdict
While it’s a fun special worth revisiting, the Richard Pryor: Here and Now 4K release doesn’t take full advantage of the format. A regular Blu-ray release probably would’ve worked just fine, as the source material lacks the fine detail of Live on the Sunset Strip. As a result, it’s a less funny and worse-looking comedy special, meaning it’s for fans of Pryor only.
Disclosure: ComingSoon received product from the distributor for our Richard Pryor: Here and Now 4K review.
