SHOWBIZ NOTES
The original Amazon Prime
series Modern Love is now
streaming. The eight-episode
series is “inspired by” true love
stories originally published in
the New York Times column by
the same name. Julia Garner,
25, stars in episode 5. Directed
by actress Emmy Rossum, 33,
the episode is about a “sort
of” May-December romance.
Garner won a 2019 Emmy for
best supporting actress in a TV
drama (Ozark).
A Marriage Story, a Netflix
film, opens in limited release
Nov. 6 and begins streaming
on Dec. 6. Capsule plot: A
stage director (Adam Driver)
and an actress (Scarlett
Johansson, 34) struggle
through a grueling, coast-
to-coast divorce that pushes
them to their personal and
creative extremes. Wallace
Shawn, 75, has a supporting
role. The film was direct-
ed and written by Noah
Baumbach, 50.
The original Hulu program,
“I Love You, America” star-
ring Sarah Silverman, was
canceled last January. It
was an Emmy nominee, but
never found a big audience.
Now, HBO, which hosted a hit
Silverman stand-up special in
2013, is offering a new home.
She’
ll do a new HBO stand-
up special (date uncertain)
and do a pilot for a late night
talk show.
She described her proposed
talk show: [I’
ll be] weighing in
on the mishigas of the week
and taking live video calls ...
Nothing’
s off the table and
nothing’
s too high or low brow
for me. I mean — look at my
face — I’
m literally all brow.”
The number of Jews playing
superheroes based on comic
book characters continues to
rise. It was recently announced
Zoe Kravitz, 30, will play
Catwoman in The Batman,
a big feature to open in
2021 (Robert Pattinson plays
Batman). Others playing super-
heroes include Gal Gadot, 34,
as Wonder Woman; Natalie
Portman, 38, as Jane Foster
(who often can wield Thor’
s
powers); Scarlett Johansson as
Black Widow; and Ezra Miller,
27, as the Flash.
Next February, you can
catch Kravitz in High Fidelity, a
10-episode series on Hulu. It’
s
based on the hit 2000 movie of
the same name about people
working in a hip little record
store. Also, last week it was
announced Gadot will produce
and star in Irena Sendler.
This bio-pic is about the
Polish Jewish heroine
who saved thousands of
Jewish children during the
Holocaust.
