In a report from The Playlist, Steven Soderbergh spoke at an event at The Nitehawk theatre in New York City and discussed The Knick season 3 and the future of auteur television. He said, “I’m chasing stories and want to work with people that aren’t scared…So right now, as we all know, there’s some really interesting stuff happening in the TV space. What I would like to see happen is what we did on ‘The Girlfriend Experience’ and what we did on ‘The Knick’ which is auteur driven TV. Filmmakers and directors that really take on a whole show and do the whole thing. I just think you get a better result, you get something that’s more unified and more specific, as opposed to having multiple directors coming in.” Kathy Bates, The Oscar and Emmy-winning actress, is teaming up with TV uber-producer Chuck Lorre for a new Netflix comedy, Disjointed. Netflix has made an initial order of 20 episodes straight to series of the cannabis fueled half-hour multi-camera comedy, which will star Bates as a lifelong marijuana advocate who’s living the dream as the owner of her own Los Angeles cannabis dispensary.

Sasha, thoughts on the Luke Cage art? Last week The CW released first pictures of Wally West as Kid Flash. In a post on the DC Comics website, it’s noted that Wally’s costume is very similar to that of the comics, with the yellow and red design, as well as the exposed hair. The yellow design also looks a lot like Reverse Flash although the red pants differentiate it. David, thoughts on the Kid Flash images?
