Goliath | Credits | 3 SYNOPSIS Goliath zeigt den ultimativen Kampf David gegen Goliath im ameri- kanischen Rechtssystem des 21. Jahrhunderts. In den Hauptrollen: Billy Bob Thornton, William Hurt, Olivia Thirlby und Maria Bello. Die Serie folgt einem heruntergekommenen Anwalt (Thornton), der Er- lösung sucht. Dabei ist seine einzige Chance, seinen Ruf wiederher- zustellen, Gerechtigkeit zu finden – in einem System, in dem Wahr- heit längst nur noch eine Ware ist und sich die Waage der Justiz immer mehr zur Seite der Reichen und Mächtigen neigt. Goliath | Synopsis | 4 DARSTELLER & ROLLEN B I L LY B O B T H O R N T O N A L S B I L LY M C B R I D E Billy McBride (Billy Bob Thornton) war einst einer der mächtigsten Anwälte in L.A., doch jetzt ist er nicht mehr als eine Hülle seiner selbst, ein Alkoholiker im zerknitterten Anzug. Seine Sucht kostete ihn seine Frau, Michelle, und seinen Job, nachdem sein langjähriger Partner, Donald Cooperman, ihn fallengelassen und aus der Kanzlei geworfen hat. Doch Billy verfügt immer noch über sein trockenes Charisma und seine Cleverness, als ihm überraschend eine zweite Chance gegeben wird und er für einen neuen Fall den Kampf gegen seinen alten Partner aufnehmen muss. Oscar-Preisträger, Schriftsteller, Schauspieler, Regisseur und Musiker – Billy Bob Thornton kann auf eine umfangreiche und beeindruckende Karriere in Film, Fernsehen und Theater zurückblicken. Charismatisch und mit einzigartigem Talent ausgestattet, hat sich Thornton als einer der gefragtes- ten Schauspieler und Filmemacher seiner Generation etabliert. Zuletzt trat Thornton – als einer der Höhepunkte seiner Karriere – in der von der Kritik gefeierten Fernsehserie Fargo auf, für die er mit dem Golden Globe und dem Broadcast Television Critics Award als bester Schauspieler in einer Mini-Serie oder einem Film ausgezeichnet, sowie mit Nomi- nierungen bei den Emmy Awards und SAG-Awards in der gleichen Kategorie geehrt wurde. Thornton ist demnächst in Bad Santa 2 zu sehen, wo er seine ikonische und mit dem Golden Globe nominierte Performance aus dem Kino-Hit von 2003 wiederaufleben lässt. Zu seinen jüngsten Projekten zählen das Warner Bros. Politdrama Our Brand Is Crisis neben Sandra Bullock; The Judge neben Robert Downey, Jr. und Robert Duvall; sowie das Ensembledrama Jayne Mansfield’s Car, basierend auf einem Original-Drehbuch von Thornton und seinem langjährigen Partner Tom Epperson, für das er noch einmal hinter die Kamera trat. Weitere Hauptrollen spielten Robert Duvall, John Hurt und Kevin Bacon. Thornton war auch neben Paul Giamatti und Marcia Gay Harden in dem Ensembledrama Parkland für Playtone Pictures zu sehen; dem Drama London Fields, basierend auf dem Roman von Martin Amis; dem Action-Thriller Faster mit Co-Star Dwayne Johnson; der Verfilmung von Bret Easton Ellis’ Bestseller The Informers; der schwarzen Komödie Manure der Polish Brothers; Paramount Pictures' Eagle Eye; der New Line Cinema-Komödie Mr. Woodcock; Warner Bros. Pictures' The Astronaut Farmer, unter der Regie der Polish Brothers; School for Scoundrels, dem Remake von The Bad News Bears für Paramount Pictures; und Friday Night Lights für Universal Pictures. Außerdem führte er Regie bei The King of Luck, einer Dokumentation über die Country-Musik-Legende und seinen langjährigen Freund Willie Nelson. Goliath | Darsteller & Rollen | 6 2003 wurde Thornton für seine Rolle in dem von der Kritik gefeierten Kino-Hit Bad Santa für einen Golden Globe als bester Schauspieler in einem Musical oder einer Komödie nominiert. 2004 erhielt er begeisterte Kritiken für seine Darstellung des legendären Pioniers Davy Crockett in Touchstone Pictures' Film The Alamo. Die Vielseitigkeit Thorntons darstellerischer Fähigkeiten zeigte sich im Jahr 2001 in der Komödie Bandits von Regisseur Barry Levinson mit Co-Stars Bruce Willis und Cate Blanchett; dem Noir-Film The Man Who Wasn’t There der Coen-Brüder; und dem bewegenden Drama Monster’s Ball, mit Halle Berry, Peter Boyle und Heath Ledger. Für jede der drei genannten Performances sammelte Thornton beispielloses Kritikerlob ein. Das Resultat war eine Auszeichnung als bester Schauspieler des Jahres 2001 vom National Board of Review, sowie Golden Globe-Nominierungen für den besten Schauspieler in einem Drama für The Man Who Wasn’t There, als bester Schauspieler in einem Musical oder einer Komödie für Bandits, und eine American Film Institute Award-Nominierung als bester Schauspieler für The Man Who Wasn’t There. Seinen Status als herausragender Filmemacher sicherte sich Thornton 1996 mit dem von Kritikern gefeierten und phänomenal erfolgreichen Spielfilm Sling Blade, in dem er ebenfalls mitspielte und für den er das Originaldrehbuch verfasste. Für seine Leistung wurde er sowohl mit einem Oscar für das beste adaptierte Drehbuch ausgezeichnet und für den Oscar als bester Schauspieler nominiert. Der von The Shooting Gallery produzierte und von Miramax herausgegebene Film brachte darüber hinaus auch Robert Duvall, JT Walsh, Dwight Yoakum und John Ritter auf die Leinwand. Vor Sling Blade hatte Thornton bereits an einer umfangreichen Reihe von Filmen mitgearbeitet. Er schrieb und spielte in dem spannenden Charakterstück One False Move, das ihm sofort das Lob der Kritiker einbrachte. Thorntons beeindruckendes Drehbuch, das er gemeinsam mit Tom Epper- son verfasste, wurde durch Thorntons herausragende Darstellung eines gejagten Verbrechers noch weiter aufgewertet. Der Film unter der Regie von Carl Franklin, war ein absoluter Überraschungs- erfolg. Darüber hinaus hat Thornton in Filmen wie The Winner von Regisseur Alex Cox, Paramount Pictures’ Indecent Proposal unter der Regie von Adrian Lyne, Deadman von Regisseur Jim Jarmusch für Mira- max und in Tombstone unter der Regie von George Cosmatos für Buena Vista Pictures mitgewirkt. Außerdem hatte Thornton Rollen in On Deadly Ground, Bound By Honor, For the Boys und The Stars Fell on Henrietta. Goliath | Darsteller & Rollen | 7 Als Autor hat Thornton an zahlreichen Projekten für United Artists, Miramax, Universal Studios, Warner Bros., Touchstone Pictures, Island Bilder, David Geffen Productions und HBO gearbeitet. Er schrieb das Drehbuch zu A Family Thing, dem hochgelobten Film mit Robert Duvall und James Earl Jones, für United Artists. Thornton war Co-Star in dem Action-Abenteuer-Blockbuster Armageddon mit Bruce Willis für Pro- duzent Jerry Bruckheimer, und spielte neben Sean Penn und Nick Nolte in U-Turn unter der Regie von Oliver Stone und in Primary Colors neben John Travolta und Emma Thompson für Regisseur Mike Nichols. Er wirkte darüber hinaus auch in der schwarzen Komödie Pushing Tin neben John Cusack mit. Thornton erhielt eine Oscar- und Golden-Globe-Nominierung als bester Nebendarsteller für seine herausragende Leistung in dem Drama A Simple Plan von Regisseur Sam Raimi, sowie einen Best Supporting Actor Award der Los Angeles Film Critics Association und und eine Nominierung als bester Nebendarsteller von der Screen Actors Guild. Seine zweite und dritte Regiearbeit waren die Komödie Daddy and Them, in der er auch als Autor und Darsteller mitwirkte, sowie die Verfilmung des Bestsellerromans von Cormac McCarthy, All The Pretty Horses, mit Matt Damon, Penélope Cruz und Henry Thomas. Thornton war außerdem Co-Autor von The Gift mit Cate Blanchett, Giovanni Ribisi und Hillary Swank. Zu Thorntons weiteren Arbeiten gehören die Komödie Waking Up in Reno mit Co-Stars Charlize Theron, Patrick Swayze und Natasha Richardson für

Born in the town of Cuckfield in West Sussex, Jonathan spent much of his early life on the road, moving first to Stockholm and Copenhagen, and later to Clearwater, Florida, where he soon developed a passion for sailing. After an extended stay in Mexico City, recently ravaged by the devastating 1985 earthquake, he left school in the United States and headed for the Caribbean, where he became a radar operator on board a cruise-liner sailing out of Curacao in the Netherlands Antilles. Jonathan returned to the United Kingdom the following year, but was soon off again, this time to Eastern Europe, where the post-communist era was only just beginning to reshape the region following several decades of political and economic deprivation. Despite having completed little formal education, he obtained his teaching credentials from the University of Cambridge and spent the next several years teaching English in both Hungary and the Czech Republic. On his return to the United Kingdom at the turn of the millennium, Jonathan enrolled in the British Army, first as an infantryman in the Parachute Regiment, and later as a member of the Royal Military Police, where he completed a tour of the former Yugoslavia as part of operation Palatine.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 21, 2013 MEDIA CONTACT: Susan Yannetti Public Relations Manager [email protected] Phone: 941.351.9010 ext. 4800 Mobile: 941.735.1131 STEAMY NEW COMEDY VENUS IN FUR HEATS UP THE STAGE AT ASOLO REPERTORY THEATRE (SARASOTA, March 21, 2013) — It’s more than just the Florida sun that’s sizzling at Asolo Rep this spring. The must-see hit of the recent Broadway season, Venus in Fur, written by theatrical mastermind David Ives opens in the Historic Asolo Theater Friday, April 5 and runs through April 28, 2013. Two preview performances are scheduled for April 3 and 4. Tea Alagić, an exciting new talent originally from the Czech Republic, directs this wickedly entertaining comedy that explores the complex relationship between an aspiring stage actress and her playwright/director. Venus in Fur is a hot ticket in every sense. This alluring tale of love, lust, and literature illuminates the ultimate battle of the sexes. Vanda is the far-from-typical young actress who arrives to audition for the lead in playwright Thomas’ adaptation of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s 1870 erotic novel, “Venus in Furs.” As her audition proceeds, Vanda’s continually shifting personas, accents, moods, expressions and apparent (and not-so-apparent) intentions engage Thomas in an emotionally charged game of cat and mouse. Is art imitating life? Or is it the other way around? As the lines between reality and fantasy become blurred the audience is swept up in Thomas’ seduction. The Broadway production made an instant star of its leading actress, Nina Arianda, who won the Tony Award for Best Actress in 2012.

  • THE NATURAL Her Director
    out for an Off Broadway production of a BACKSTAGE CHRONICLES new play by David Ives, “Venus in Fur,” the story of a fierce and funny psychosex- ual power struggle between an actress and THE NATURAL her director. Arianda had fallen in love with the heroine of the play, Vanda, an Nina Arianda: Broadway’s new star. aspiring actress, who—in a scenario fa- miliar to Arianda—arrives at a rehearsal BY JOHN LAHR hall to audition for a part she has no chance of getting. In Vanda’s case, it was a part in an adaptation of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s classic about the erotic forms of hate, “Venus in Furs.” “Am I too late? I’m too late, right? Fuck. Fuck!” Vanda says as she arrives onstage, hoping to read for the role of Vanda von Dunayev, an emancipated nineteenth-century Con- tinental woman. The dramatic pitch of Vanda’s opening line captured Arianda’s imagination. “I’d never read something and been so enthralled by where a charac- ter could go,” she told me recently. “The humor is what always gets me. The com- mitment she has to what she’s doing or saying. There’s no comment. She lives it.” The actress who plays Vanda is re- quired to metamorphose from a twenty- first-century street-smart New Yorker into the nineteenth-century European cosmopolitan of the Sacher-Masoch play- within-the-play, and even have the emo- tional extravagance to suggest the goddess Aphrodite, who emerges as a sort of fab- ulous eleven-o’clock number.

    BATTLE OF THE SEXES: (left to right) Hugh Dancy & the phenomenal Nina Arianda in the psycho-sexual thriller, Venus in Fur. Photo: Joan Marcus Theater Review Venus in Fur: S&M power play, mind games VENUS IN FUR Written by David Ives Directed by Walter Bobbie Samuel J. Friedman Theatre 261 West 47th Street (212-239-6200),www.ManahattanTheatreClub.com By David NouNou Control, power, dominance all play major factors in David Ives’ provocative new dramedy, Venus In Fur. Who offers it and who uses it? Who ultimately has that power and control; the submissive who is giving you the power or the master who has been given that power? Until ultimately the lines become so blurred and, thus, the power struggle begins. Set in a rehearsal hall, Thomas (Hugh Dancy), a director and playwright, has auditioned some 35 actresses for the female lead in the play he has written, based on the classic 1870 erotic Austrian novella Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (the namesake of the term “sadomasochism"). Not one of the actresses Thomas has auditioned has the qualities for which he is searching: beauty, grace, strength, power, and a great command of the English language. As Thomas is calling it a day, and conversing with his girlfriend on his cell phone, in bursts Vanda (Nina Arianda), an actress, totally disheveled from the rainstorm outside, late for her audition, and the last person you would expect to qualify for the role. Dismissive he is, persistent she is, until finally he allows her to read three pages of the play just to appease her.
