‘Y: The Last Man’ makes this a woman’s world, literally BY JAY BOBBIN
Imagine a world from which almost every man is eliminated. A new FX on Hulu drama series based on a DC comic visualizes it. Premiering Monday, Sept. 13, “Y: The Last Man” makes virtually every mammal with a Y chromosome extinct ... one extremely rare exception being the son (Ben Schnetzer) of a politician (Diane Lane) with White House aspirations. She tries to hide his continued existence while building a team of female allies, though others conspire against her, notably a political rival (played by Amber Tamblyn). Olivia Thirlby, Ashley Romans, Diana Bang, Missi Pyle, Juliana Canfield, Marin Ireland and Elliot Fletcher also are featured in the sci-fi saga for executive producer and writer Eliza Clark (“Rubicon”). “I read this comic book 10 years ago and fell in love with it,” Clark recalls. “I think it is a beautiful story about survival, and
it examines characters in a landscape that is constantly pressing on really interesting ideas about power and systems of oppression.” Still, Clark was compelled to update the story. “Our show is gender-diverse,” she says, “We’ve made the representation of this world, in some ways, very different from the way it is in the comic book. Yorick’s (the son) maleness is not what sets him apart in this world; it’s his Y chromosome that sets him apart. We used the comic book as a blueprint, and I think fans of the book are going to love (this).” Though actress Lane has continued to get strong movie roles (i.e. “Let Him Go”), she explains of her “Y: The Last Man” involvement, “I wanted this opportunity to work with an ensemble that was going to bring an iconic piece of writing to life. I was always so surprised at who was a fan of the graphic novel, so I found that
intriguing. It made me want to lean in and take the risk on a new type of format. “I’ve only ever done one other series (the final season of ‘House of Cards’),” adds Lane, “but this was much more of an ensemble, and my part in it was certainly very interesting to me. (And) who knew that we were going to be faced with the experience as it laid out for all of us in the period of time we were filming?” Indeed, fellow executive producer Nina Jacobson (“The Hunger Games”) reflects, “I don’t think anybody could have imagined some of what we have learned, even in this last year or so, about how hard it is to hold it together in a crisis. And I think that the show does
#1
reflect a lot of the 2020 ‘moment’ in a way that none of us could have anticipated.”

Professionally, changes will prove quite profitable if you can overcome your fear of change. GEMINI You need to make changes in your relationships, both at home and at work. Wait a few days for your emotions to calm down before you take action. Some decisions need time; acting on a whim isn’t always the best approach. CANCER You may be influenced by those closest to you to spoil yourself. You’ll decide to give yourself a makeover and follow the advice of a specialist. By reducing your anxiety, you’ll automatically find yourself in better health. LEO You’ll find yourself in the spotlight for one reason or another. You’ll be in charge of a group that might well pay tribute to you, or at least offer you warm congratulations. A promotion isn’t too far off.

From the moment that I was cast to the first table read I was a part of to the first time I was on the set, “Billions” always has felt collaborative. Brian (Koppelman) and David (Levien), the co-creators of the show, had an idea of the character and brought their half of the vision. Then, the job they trust me to do is to bring the other half. I just feel very lucky and very grateful. “Billions” has set the highest standard of excellence of what a show can be, for the work itself and for the people I’m working with.
Do you know... That you can be a part of the solution, not the problem. Spay or neuter your pet.

Jason Statham’s Top 10 Movies

“The Fate of the Furious” (2017): Though he had appeared in earlier chapters of the action franchise, Statham’s potent teamwork with Dwayne Johnson in this edition launched discussions about the two getting their own spinoff – which they ultimately did. “Spy” (2015): Statham uses his rugged image in a different way as a CIA agent skeptical of getting an analyst (Melissa McCarthy) as an in-thefield colleague. “Parker” (2013): A typically tough Statham has the title role of a thief bent on getting even for his crew’s betrayal of him. “Safe” (2012): A paternal aspect is added to Statham’s role as a former cage fighter protecting a special youngster (Catherine Chan) from various forces. “Killer Elite” (2011): Though it shares the title of an earlier movie, this thriller

I’d lived with it as an actor going in and sitting in waiting rooms against people from Yale and Juilliard and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. I understand those people and that person.” Del’s relationship with Grace is reflective of that. He clearly cares for her but she seems on the fence about him, and when he sees her with her ex, he backs off. But Daniels’ working relationship with Tierney is theopposite. He praises his co-star for being a smart actress, a worthy acting partner and someone who “jumped off the cliff with me” in terms of making acting choices.

In recent years, there’s been a real renaissance of that format, especially with ABC getting back into the (forgive us) game by reviving numerous contests for its “Summer Fun & Games” concept. Syndication also has been a big market for such revivals, and it’s about to offer another example proving what’s old is new again.

“You Bet Your Life” nominally was a game, but it also was a showcase for host Groucho Marx to bounce wisecracks off contestants (and, sometimes, off announcer George Fenneman as well). The show’s television rebirth in weekday syndication Monday, Sept. 13, will service another comedy star known for humorous interactions: Jay Leno is taking the reins of the new “You Bet Your Life,” reportedly incorporating some elements from his “Tonight Show,” with his former “Tonight” bandleader Kevin Eubanks by his side again.

“THE WIZARDING WORLD 10-FILM COLLECTION” Given its umbrella name, fans of a certain author should be able to guess without much trouble what’s in this release ... J.K Rowling being the writer in question. The eight “Harry Potter” movies certainly have had solid workouts on home video via a number of editions, but this is the first time they’ve been combined with the two films to date in the Rowlinginspired “Fantastic Beasts” franchise. This is a complete set at least for the moment, since work has been going on in and around the coronavirus pandemic on a third “Beasts” movie. Daniel Radcliffe toplines the “Potter” pictures, of course, while Eddie Redmayne gets first billing in the “Beasts” offerings. A Blu-ray edition of this collection is slated to be released in October. ››› (PG and PG-13, varying by title: AS, V)

The title perfectly describes what the two central characters feel in this tale that’s currently airing on the PBS anthology series – and will have just wrapped up the broadcasts of its four episodes when this set goes on sale. Mark Bonnar and Jamie Sives play brothers who are driving home from a wedding when they become involved in a hit-and-run accident in Edinburgh. Rather than tell authorities just what happened, they try to cover up the incident, something that becomes increasingly complicated to do as things evolve. Ruth Bradley and Bill Paterson also star. ››› (Not rated: AS, P, V)
