  • THEM Season One
    THEM Season One Prime Video Release Date: April 9, 2021 FEATURES EMBARGOED UNTIL FRIDAY, MARCH 26th AT 9:00AM PT REVIEWS EMBARGOED UNTIL FRIDAY APRIL 2nd AT 9:00AM PT Created and executive produced by Little Marvin, along with executive producers Lena Waithe, Miri Yoon and Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment, David Matthews, Don Kurt and a co-production from Sony Pictures Television and Amazon Studios, THEM is a limited anthology that explores terror in America. The 1950s set first season centers on a Black family who moves from North Carolina to an all-white Los Angeles neighborhood during the period known as The Great Migration. The family’s idyllic home becomes ground zero where malevolent forces, next-door and otherworldly, threaten to taunt, ravage and destroy them. Conceiving THEM Season One Creator and executive producer Little Marvin began writing the show a few summers ago, during a period where he says he felt like he was waking up every morning to the same thing. “I’d go through my social media feeds and I would see iPhone video after iPhone video of Blacks folks—women, men, children, families—being terrorized in some way,” he says. “Watched. Harassed. Surveilled. Threatened by the police, or with the police.” Little Marvin says the incidents made him think about terror in a very specific way: the weaponization of public and private space against Black folks in America. “The last four years also had me thinking a lot about the American Dream—who gets their keys to it and who has to fight for their keys,” he says.

  • The LEGO ® Movie
    “The LEGO® Movie,” the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures, opens in theaters February 7, 2014. Directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller (“21 Jump Street,” “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”), it stars Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie and Charlie Day, with Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman. The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. Chris Pratt (“Moneyball”) stars as the voice of Emmet. Will Ferrell (“The Campaign”) stars as the voice of his primary adversary, President Business, an uptight CEO who has a hard time balancing world domination with micro-managing his own life; while Liam Neeson (“Taken” and “Taken 2,” Oscar nominee for “Schindler’s List”) voices the president’s powerful henchman, known as Bad Cop/Good Cop, who will stop at nothing to catch Emmet. Starring as Emmet’s fellow travelers are Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman (“Million Dollar Baby”), as Vitruvius, an old mystic; Elizabeth Banks (“The Hunger Games,” Emmy nominee for “30 Rock”), as tough-as-nails Wyldstyle, who mistakes Emmet for the savior of the world and guides him on his quest; Will Arnett (Emmy nominee, “30 Rock”), as the mysterious Batman, a LEGO minifigure with whom Wyldstyle shares a history; Nick Offerman (NBC’s “Parks and Recreation”) as a craggy, swaggering pirate obsessed with revenge on President 1 Business; Alison Brie (NBC’s “Community”) as a sweet, loveable member of the team, with a powerful secret, and Charlie Day as the spaceman Benny.
