Sky and HBO Max haves revealed the full trailer for “The Staircase,” starring Colin Firth as Michael Peterson and Toni Collette as Kathleen Peterson. Based on a true story, the eight-episode limited series further explores the life of Michael Peterson, his sprawling North Carolina family, and the suspicious death of his wife, Kathleen Peterson. Starring alongside Firth and Collette are Michael Stuhlbarg, Juliette Binoche, Dane DeHaan, Olivia DeJonge, Rosemarie DeWitt, Tim Guinee, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sophie Turner, Vincent Vermignon, Odessa Young and Parker Posey. The series will premiere on 5 May exclusively on Sky and streaming service NOW as well as on HBO Max in the United States.

Screencaptures from the second episode of “Pieces of Her” have been added to the photo gallery as well.

Andy goes to Carrolltown to find the storage facility and car her mother has told her about, while Laura and her ex husband Gordon need to take care of the intruder who broke into Laura’s home and has been taken hostage by her. As Andy connects with a mysterious guy named Jake during her stay in the motel, Laura agrees to give a televised interview, so long as they promise not to edit anything and ensure it is broadcasted nationally. It sounds like she wants to send a message to whoever is watching her.

With many thanks to my friend Jess, screencaptures from the first two episodes of “Pieces of Her” have been added to the photo gallery. I’ll post each update with a synopsis of the episode, so be aware there might be spoilers in case you haven’t watched “Pieces of Her” by now (which you should, in its entirety, on Netflix).

Andy is a 30-year-old 911 operative living with her mother, Laura, a recovering breast cancer survivor. On her birthday, Andy and her mom go into town to have lunch. At the restaurant, things take a decidedly dark turn as an angry gunman opens fire. Seeing Andy’s police uniform, he assumes she is a cop. Laura throws herself between Andy and the gunman, and as he attacks her with a knife, Laura flips her hand with the blade and kills the man. Someone happens to record the entire incident, and within a few hours, Andy and Laura have gone viral. As soon as Laura leaves the hospital, she appears unnerved by her face being all over the news and tells Andy to move out immediately.

Guillermo del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley”, a deserving 2021 Oscar nominee for Best Picture – has been released on demand and Blu-Ray during the last couple of weeks. I thoroughly enjoyed the film for its stunning visuals and wonderful acting. If you haven’t seen it by now, make sure to rent or stream it. Screencaptures from the Blu-Ray have been added to the photo gallery and most of the other film-related albums have been updated as well. Enjoy.
