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.
