Andie MacDowell and Laura San Giacomo set to star in Sex, Lies, and Videotape sequel

Jennifer Maas TV Business WriterShowtime’s upcoming “The First Lady” anthology series is described as “a revelatory reframing of American leadership, told through the lens of the women at the heart of the White House.” While the first season focuses on icons Michelle Obama (played by Viola Davis), Betty Ford (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Eleanor Roosevelt (Gillian Anderson), the executive producers are not opposed to a potential future season including possibly the most divisive first lady: Melania Trump.During a virtual panel promoting the show at the Television Critics Association’s press tour Wednesday, “The First Lady” showrunner Cathy Schulman and director and executive producer Susanne Bier playfully tossed a reporter’s question about featuring President Donald Trump’s wife as subject before Bier answered definitively, but with a laugh: “Look, I do think that the series could do with a fun season — so let’s talk about that.” Star Anderson, who was sitting on the panel alongside co-star Davis, added: “I think the hope is that there’s going to be future seasons and there will be the opportunity to have many, many more first ladies represented. So maybe not just four — but maybe 104.”But Bier says that no matter how many seasons they do, she’d like to keep the number of first ladies to three per installment for a very specific reason.“Three is a great number for a season because you can do in-depth contrasts, but it’s also incredibly interesting how the three ladies reflect upon each other,” Bier said.

From what we understand, this is just part of the Bar Exam in the state of Florida… LOLz!

While exploring deep space as an actor in Solaris and Gravity, George Clooney presumably was also a close observer of how two top directors, Steven Soderbergh and Alfonso Cuarón, respectively, handled the challenges of sci-fi for grownups. Judging by the distinctive design elements of Netflix's The Midnight Sky, he also appears to have absorbed lessons from Tomorrowland, not letting busy CG fakery supplant solid storytelling.

Steven Soderbergh is a workhorse. I can’t begin to speak for him, as I have no personal connection to the filmmaker.
