y mom had this wonderful observation when I met her for lunch the other day. She asked me if I’d lost weight. The gym scale dryly said nope. Either way, it’s hard not eating out when Oklahoma City’s dining scene gives me so many reasons to break up with my slow cooker. Blame Dave Cathey’s LOOKatOKC story about Aurora and Doug Hoke’s awesome photos for making me peckish. I hear the Plaza District breakfast spot makes pancakes so fluffy and airy that they have their own weather. They’re worth the wait. Anyway, here’s a few tasty diversions if you’re hungry. Also, I’m sorry if you are. Sorrier if you’re not. The Hall’s Pizza Kitchen I don’t know who Quinn is, but that human has great taste. Quinn’s Burrata
Wheeze The Juice This juice and smoothie bar quietly opened a new location in Leadership Square, and I’m glad to see more unique options pop up in the heart of the business side of downtown. Now, I know Nathan from 10 years ago would laugh at current Nathan for dropping $9 on a smoothie, but I’d tell that kid to look at the ingredients and find me something more delicious that isn’t just ice and sugar. I win! Leaf + Bean I walked into this Deep Deuce coffee shop at 9:30 a.m. on a Wednesday and it was like Bjork song. The “It’s Oh So Quiet” one. I had no idea why because the coffee was dandy. Plus, the barista was extra friendly and started a conversation just from looking at my coffee cup. I sorta wanna keep this gem of a place to myself, but it shouldn’t be the best kept coffee secret in OKC. Check them out. Big Truck Tacos I don’t know of a better breakfast taco in the metro. I challenge you to find me a better one. However, my world got slapped right in the queso hole when I tried a Dirty Bowl. It’s basically the KFC Famous Bowl with a Mexican twist. Chip crumbles, beans, beef peccadillo, guacamole, roasted jalapeno and pico de gallo swimming in melted cheese. Thank goodness for concerts, so I can take photos and burn off some calories. Speaking of shows, make sure to read Becky Carman’s seaworthy interview with Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee. The songwriter will headline a Tower Theatre gig at the end of them month. Carman crafted a very thoughtful piece that was so good that I didn’t want to put pancakes on the cover anymore. Aurora Breakfast Bar and Backyard, 1704 NW 16th St., in the Plaza District.

and most of those are full-time hourly employees, according to Walmart spokeswoman Anne Hatfield. The average hourly wage increase in Oklahoma will improve from $13.15 to $13.66. Tschoepe, who has been with Walmart for 19 years, said the starting salary is being increased, which has employees excited. “The starting wage was $9 and now it will be $11 an hour,” Tschoepe said. “People are pretty pumped up, that is just awesome. I’m really so proud of the company, of what they’re doing to take care of the most important part of the company — our associates,” Tschoepe said. “(Walmart founder) Sam Walton always said that was our most valued asset.” The improved wages helps retain employees and recruit new ones.

Walmart employees in Oklahoma are poised to benefit from wage increases and improved benefits packages as part of several changes being made within the company. The positive news comes alongside a recent announcement Walmart would close 63 Sam’s Club warehouses nationwide, none of which are in Oklahoma. Employees of the 13 Oklahoma Sam’s Club locations, as well as Walmart employees across the state, will see increases in starting wage, average hourly wage and parental benefit increases. The news is welcome among for Terry Tschoepe, store manager for the Oklahoma City Belle Isle Walmart location. “We have well over 300 associates that will be impacted,” Tschoepe said. “To have every one of those employees get a bonus or pay increase is pretty exciting.” Walmart employs 33,335 total across Oklahoma,
Another benefit Walmart is improving is its parental and maternal leave times, as well as introducing an adoption credit program, according to Hatfield. Maternity leave for full-time hourly and salaried employees will be provided for 10 weeks at full pay. Previously, only salaried employees received that amount, while full-time hourly employees received six to eight weeks with partial pay. Six weeks of full-pay parental leave will now be given for both full-time hourly and salaried positions. The full-time hourly employees were not given this benefit in the past, and salaried employees received two weeks. The adoption credit program allows employees to seek out a $5,000 credit to help cover costs of adoption. This can be sought for two children, allowing an employee to receive up to $10,000 in assistance. This adoption policy is especially important for Tschoepe. A father of an adopted child, he said he is glad Walmart is working to help potential parents find homes for children. “Any time we can take care of our associates when it comes to having a child ... that means a ton,” Tschoepe said. “Not only that, but we are offering $5,000 to help pay for adoption. I can’t tell you how much that means as someone with an adopted child. “If you go through adoption it can get expensive, and that meant a lot to me personally,” Tschoepe said. “There are kids out there that need a home, and Walmart is working to help that happen.”

Operators are sought for Scissortail Park cafe BY STEVE LACKMEYER For LOOKatOKC

estaurant operators are being sought for a cafe already under construction in the future Scissortail Park that will front the Oklahoma City Boulevard and will be across from a streetcar stop. Maureen Heffernan, who is overseeing the new Scissortail Park Foundation, is issuing a request for proposals this week and hopes to have an operator chosen this spring. Unlike the
LOOKATOKC.COM
Park House restaurant at the Myriad Botanical Gardens, which was fully designed and built without consulting local restaurant operators, the new park cafe has had input and is believed to be in a more visible location. “The cafe is situated in a highly viable and accessible area of the park and is adjacent to a streetcar stop, Chesapeake Arena, Omni Hotel and Convention Center,” Heffernan said. “Several restaurant operators reviewed the working plans, and designers made a number of adjustments to it so it will work efficiently and
be flexible for whomever the new operator will be when selected.” The cafe will be 5,747 square feet and will open up to the park and to the boulevard. The modern design by Butzer Architects and Urbanism includes a lantern or beacon cropping up into the air that is intended to make the cafe a landmark day and night. “The park cafe building is the sweet spot, the most important of the park buildings we SEE CAFE, 8

CAFE CONTINUED FROM 7 designed,” lead architect Hans Butzer said. “It’s the one that directly engages this 1889 Harpers Weekly story we uncovered years ago. A student came across the description in 1889 of the dark sky and the campfires that lit the sky. It was a beautiful image of the open landscape.” The lantern, Butzer said, attempts to reflect and recreate that moment.
WHAT WILL AND WON’T WORK As part of the design work, Butzer said his team studied park cafes in the United States and Europe, and went with measuring tape to the cafe at Guthrie Greens in downtown Tulsa to look at its operation. Butzer and Heffernan say they tried to learn from challenges that occurred when the Park House restaurant was built a few years ago at the Myriad Gardens and designed for white linen tablecloth dining without input from local restaurant operators. Several prominent operators advised the concept would not work. The building is now used as an event center. This time around, Heffernan said, designers consulted with local restaurant operators throughout the planning, and two operators are interested in submitting bids. The operators are being encouraged to submit proposals that will cater to the diversity of visitors expected at the park. The park is expected to open in June 2019, about a year before the opening of the 605-room Omni Hotel and the new convention center across the street. The streetcar is expected to start service later this year, while the boulevard should be completed in 2020. “I’m looking for proposals that think outside the box,” Heffernan said. “For the first year, 2019, the convention center and Omni won’t be online. We’re looking for creative ways for the operator to deal with that situation. Maybe they can be open on a seasonal basis but not year round the first year or two.” Other options might include operating the cafe as an event center on slower days or nights, she said. For that reason, an operator will be encouraged to seek a liquor permit for the cafe. City officials, Heffernan said, decided to start construction of the cafe before an operator is chosen. But she believes the selection will be made early enough that the operator might still make some changes if needed, especially when it comes to equipping the kitchen. “If they want to serve more ice cream, we can add machines,” Heffernan said. “There is wiggle room for the operator.”

LOOKATOKC.COM
hile the rest of us are sleeping, chef Henry Boudreaux and his kitchen brigade at Aurora Breakfast Bar and Backyard, 1704 NW 16, are awake and very likely engaged in a thankless task. “We are up very early in the morning here since we open at 7,” Boudreaux said. “And if you come by before the sun comes up, we’re probably plucking thyme leaves.” That’s because fresh thyme is a key ingredient to the house-made biscuits. “I’ve tried dried thyme leaves, and it’s just not the same, so it’s fresh thyme. And the only one way to get fresh thyme leaves is to pluck them by hand.” That kind of uncompromising approach goes into the entire menu and ensures what comes out of the kitchen Tuesday through
Sunday is distinctive despite being familiar. “It starts with quality ingredients,” said owner Aimee Struble, who along with her husband, Jeff, owns the property. They renovated the space into the breezy, elegant restaurant that’s been drawing large crowds for weekend brunch since it opened. “It really does make a difference. And so does having a great chef.” The good news for the Strubles was once time came to hire that chef, they were able to get one whom they’d known since he was a kid. “Aimee and my mom are like best friends,” Boudreaux said. “So, I was getting hints from pretty early on, but I wasn’t really too interested at first.” Lucky for the Strubles, the Plaza and those of us who like good food, that changed and the rest is an unfolding history SEE AURORA, 10

AURORA CONTINUED FROM 9 of quality food prepared with style and aplomb in a casual setting.
SLAB TO TABLE The only restaurant experience Aimee and Jeff Struble had before embarking on Aurora was in the founding of the original Two Frogs Grill. If you’ve driven through Ardmore in the last 30 years, you’re familiar with Two Frogs. That’s the only remaining vestige of the concept Struble helped found in Stillwater. The one in Ardmore belongs to one of Struble’s college roommates. But business experience they had in spades. The Strubles built a strong portfolio of investments and businesses as real estate developers. To become developers, Jeff found success as a general contractor while Aimee opened a hair salon in Shepherd Mall back in the early 1990s. Flipping properties followed, leading them to a home a couple of blocks from the Plaza in the Gatewood neighborhood. SEE AURORA, 12

The property they owned along the south side of NW 16 in the district became home to a number of businesses, including retail, art galleries and collective spaces. All along, they recognized a need for a good breakfast place. “We like to eat good food,” Struble said. “We’re the kind of people who like to find the best places to eat when we travel and thought it would fill a niche in the neighborhood.” Jeff did the build-out, Aimee concentrated on design, coffee and cuisine. Initially conceived as a concept called Yoke, Aimee targeted Trey Woods, of Hoboken Coffee Roasters in Guthrie. “Originally, I was thinking we would just do a coffee shop,” Struble said. “I offered Trey the chance to come down here and basically do here what he does at his place.” Woods declined the offer, but they did forge a deal to make Hoboken the exclusive coffee of Aurora. Meanwhile, the chef destiny had in mind for Aurora was just starting a new job at Ludivine.
FATE’S FOOTBALL In retrospect, Henry Boudreaux was always going to be executive chef at Aurora. After Boudreaux left his longtime job at The Museum Cafe to join a dream job at Ludivine, he had plans to head an even more ambitious project in Edmond for chefs Russ Johnson and Jonathon Stranger. When Boudreaux learned from he and his wife were expecting their first child, he remained committed to the long hours ahead to see the project through. “That was gonna be 16-hour days, one day off a week if you’re lucky,” Boudreaux said. “But I was still into it.” But the Edmond project was scuttled when Stranger left the Ludivine/R&J Supper Club partnership with Johnson and partner Chip Fudge, leaving the door open for Boudreaux to take the Aurora job. Any concerns about culinary compro-
PAGE 12

mise were quickly dispelled by Aimee Struble, who made it clear Aurora wasn’t interested in opening an ordinary breakfast diner. And just like his experience at Ludivine, local is king at Aurora. Current partners include Destiny Ranch in Asher, Hoboken Coffee Roasters, Grandma Nellie FreeRange All Natural Chicken, Farrell Family Bread, Andrew’s Honey, Torilleria y Tienda de Leon’s, Snider Farm Peanut Butter, Schwab Meat Co., Scissortail Farms, Prairie Earth Gardens, Wheeze the Juice, Urban Tea House, Holy Kombucha, Vanessa House Brewery and Lovera’s cheese from Krebs. With that arsenal, Boudreaux has built an approachable, straightforward menu of breakfast, lunch and brunch items that often transcend their reputations thanks to those local ingredients and a refusal to compromise quality on behalf of a little extra sleep. The biscuits and gravy at Aurora are sublime. The biscuits aren’t the size of a cat’s head and you won’t find any crumbled sausage in the gravy. Nevertheless, they’re my favorite in town. And don’t tell anyone, but the dish is actually vegetarian. Instead of using pork fat or butter to flavor the batter, Boudreaux uses a mushroom powder common in Asian cooking. (I can confirm the same seasoning, available at the Super Cao Nguyen Market, is used in the kitchens at Chae, Nonesuch and Gogi Go — probably Vast, too, but I’m just guessing now.) Banana pancakes reminded me what I once loved about pancakes: big, fluffy cakes like Mom wished she had the time SEE AURORA, 13

AURORA CONTINUED FROM 12 to make on Sunday mornings. Pristine sliced bananas, house-made granola, cinnamon-honey butter and pure maple syrup very likely will inspire a pregnant pause after the first bite for posterity. If every place that sold pancakes made pancakes this good, we’d all be eating little else. Bananas aren’t the law on the buttermilk pancakes, which can be ordered with toasted pecans or without accompaniment. My next pancake order at Aurora will be the Tiramisu version, which is served with Hoboken creme anglaise, almond cream, toasted walnuts, shaved chocolate and citrus zest.

Fans of gourmet hamburgers will be happy to spread the gospel of the Aurora Burger, which includes Destiny Ranch beef, a toasted challah bun, Boudreaux’s bacon jam, fresh spinach, soft-cooked egg, pesto aioli and Lovera’s cheese. As good as that burger is, Boudreaux says his favorite burger on the menu is one that doesn’t get enough love. “Our veggie burger is the best in town, and we barely sell them,” Boudreaux said. “I’m not a vegetarian, but I try to be as much as I can so I eat a lot of veggie burgers. I know why people ignore them at most restaurants, but ours is made from scratch daily. Come eat a veggie burger!” Lunch choices also include a pulled pork sandwich and the open-faced lox works any time of day. You also can take a bag of the house-made granola home with you.

WHAT’S NEXT The backyard currently is home to a full bar, teepee for children and a stage for live music, but it hasn’t yet fully blossomed, according to the owners. “The backyard is going to undergo expansion,” Struble said. “The area beyond the fence (to the west) is going
to be developed, which will give us some flexibility and lead to new opportunities.” Look for special evening wine and beer dinners from Boudreaux this year, and Aurora already has hosted a number of private events. Struble said dinner service is inevitable for the restaurant, but not in the immediate future and probably only a few nights a week when it does happen. If dinner means there’s no longer time to pluck those thyme leaves, it can wait.

BY BECKY CARMAN For LOOKatOKC
Nearly regardless of who you ask, Waxahatchee, also known as 29-year-old songwriter Katie Crutchfield, put out one of 2017’s best albums. Seminal rock critic Rob Sheffield wrote about “Out in the Storm,” which landed at #14 on the year-end best-of list for “Rolling Stone,” calling it a “punk rock answer to Carole King’s ‘Tapestry.’ ” “That made my day,” Crutchfield said. “I feel pretty fortunate because even when all else is going wrong in my life, usually record critics will like my records for the most part. I do feel very blessed in that. It’s not super frequent that it’s a horrible review, at least — knock on wood — not yet.” It’s this silver lining outlook that makes “Out in the Storm” unusual for, as Crutchfield calls it, “a breakup record.” What sets it apart is its laser focus on honest reflection, two-party blame and moving forward. There’s no painful wallowing (see: Ryan Adams’ “Heartbreaker”) or that other, less tactful trope of breakup songs, revenge (see: Beyonce’s “Lemonade” or any other woman taking a “Louisville slugger to both headlights”). Instead, Crutchfield’s songs focus on the other side of what Sheffield called “gnarly emotional wreckage.” “I wanted it to be hopeful. It’s about heartbreak, and it’s about picking yourself back up,” Crutchfield said. “It’s not really about longing or missing the relationship. It’s kind of about the frustration, the relief, but also having a lot of anger to get out. I want people to, as they take the record off the turntable, to be like, OK, now I can move on.” In other words, it’s just over a half-hour of the feeling you get for the first time after the hard part of a breakup, the first morning where you wake up and realize you’ll be fine. And when you take the record off the turntable and feel a little better, Crutchfield does, too. “Long before I ever made money writing songs, the big reason that I did it was to process emotions,” Crutchfield said. “I’ve always used it as this tool to kind of get my feelings out; it’s always been cathartic. This record is a big example of me needing a vehicle to get through this hard thing.” Songs already in hand, Crutchfield called on her longtime live band (twin sister, Allison Crutchfield, drummer Ashley Arnwine and bassist Katherine Simonetti), percussionist Joey Doubek and old friend and indie rock go-to guitarist Katie Harkin, known for her work with Sleater-Kinney and Flock of Dimes in addition to her own projects. “Typically, I’m sort of like a sheepdog, herding everybody into the direction I want, but with this one, I worked with my live band and Katie Harkin and wanted to lean on their personal styles of playing,” Crutchfield said. “Me and the rhythm section of my band have been playing together for a long time, and we’ve turned a lot of old songs into a new thing and have a specific energy I wanted to capture.” Producer John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile) also lent his expertise, and, all hands on deck, “Out in the Storm” ended up becoming the record Crutchfield secretly wanted to make in the first place.

argo Price was watching a herd of third-graders sing “This Land Is Your Land.” The Nashville-based singer-songwriter’s son was among the voices at a holiday program, which was obviously cute, but Price also was impressed by the bulk of Woody Guthrie’s lyrics and verses. She said she was amazed at how youngsters could have the capacity to learn the nearly 80-year-old song. And then the performance sunk deeper. “What we have going on with people trying to redevelop national parks, especially in Utah, hit me hard that day,” she said. “There’s such a disregard for beauty in the world.”

MARGO PRICE
MUSIC Q&A
PRICE CONTINUED FROM 18 Price has a knack for turning pain into poetry. In her music and on the phone, she doesn’t shy away from sticking to her guns. Like Guthrie, music doesn’t go out of style if the message sticks. “Playing music and making art is one way to cheat mortality,” she said. “At least for a couple centuries.” Her 2016 breakthrough album “Midwest Farmers Daughter” detailed divorce, death and a drunken driving incident that led to a weekend in county jail. Her honesty, paired with a push from Jack White’s Third Man Records, netted a modest commercial win — and a huge critical hit — which is all the more impressive when you consider how relatively unknown Price was just two years ago. On Price’s 2017 follow-up “All American Made,” her stories peered less inward and painted a modern portrait of a country that’s far from great again. The title’s less patriotic than the surface suggests. The sophomore effort never settles on a single mood but starts off with a bang, offers plenty of clever turns of phrases, a Tex-Mex protest song about equal wages and a somber closing ballad. Price slyly draws critiques rather than simply pointing fingers — making the most out of the worst. Here are a few highlights from our phone conversation.
Q: Two of my favorite songs
on your new record, the title track and “Pay Gap,” also ended up being the most political cuts on “All American Made.” I like how clever and direct they were. Do you consider yourself a protest singer? Margo Price: That’s a good question. No one’s ever asked me that. I just consider myself to be an honest songwriter. I’ve been

I don’t plan on doing it forever, but I think that we’re at a very unique moment in history. It’s important to say what’s on my mind.
Q:
When you’re writing, do you need solitude or are you able to write on the road? Price: I enjoy both environments, but it depends on how grueling the travel is. I try to write a little bit here and there during flights or when I’m watching TV and I hear an interesting story. I try to soak up those little bits of wisdom. I’ve had a really bad ear infection the last couple of weeks. I was taking a lot of flights, and it was not helpful.
Q:
I’m sorry to hear that. How have you been dealing with balancing such a busy album cycle and staying healthy? Price: I shut down when I get home. I tend to not go out anymore. I try to make time for it, but I wanna relax, rest and watch TV. I’ll sit on the couch, fold laundry, try to get back into being domestic and being a mother.
Q: I sometimes forget the
people I talk to are just normal people. It shouldn’t surprise me, but I was surprised to hear that you picked up your son from school. Price: Exactly! It was my first day
back home, and so it was important that I go get him. My husband was actually in the studio working on an album of his own that I’ve been helping produce. He’s busy doing that, too. I had to go get my son and make dinner. It’s been fun to be back home.
Q:
What’s it like collaborating with your husband? Price: He’s helped co-produce “All American Made” with me. ... It was fun to go in and work on a bunch of songs he’d written by himself and songs I helped co-write. We did a lot of harmonies, and I told him which songs to put on there. I enjoy being SEE PRICE, 20

PRICE CONTINUED FROM 19 in the studio. It’s something I hope to do more of over the next few years, but you gotta make your money touring. People don’t buy records like they used to. Where we make our money is being on the road. I’d love to be able to stay home more and have more of an output. Most people want to do these 18-month album cycles. I want to put out a new record or two every year.
Q:
Your solo debut was recorded at Sun Studio in Memphis. What made you move down the street to Sam Phillips Recording for the follow-up? Price: As soon as I saw Sam Phillips Recording, I knew I wanted to make something in there. It’s an amazing space. After Sam Phillips made his millions at Sun, he made his dream studio. Sun

might be more famous, but when it comes to space and having all the bells and whistles, Sam Phillips is a lot bigger and more high-tech. He had a jukebox built into his desk, which is still in his office. He could play 45’s at the touch of a button. We had so much fun in there. They’ve kept it to the specifications when it started. It’s the same pink colors. Same carpet. Everything looks like it did back in the day.
Q:
Q:
How was Willie Nelson in the studio setting? Price: He went through “Learning to Lose” so many times. We had all these different guitar solos of his to pick from. It was really hard when we listened back to everything later to decide what the guitar solo was going to be because every single one of them was thoughtful and unique.
Q:
I enjoyed your duet with Willie Nelson on “Learning to Lose.” Did you write that track specifically with him in mind?
I read you had to sell your car and pawn your wedding ring to finance “Midwest Farmers Daughter.” Was it a huge comfort recording with more time and money?
Price: My husband and I wrote that song. We were in our bedroom, and we’d been listening to loads of Willie Nelson records. I hadn’t even met Willie at that point. After he invited me to play at a couple of his events, like the Fourth of July Picnic and Farm Aid, we asked him for real if he wanted to sing and play on it. We went to his studio in Spicewood, Texas. He was so sweet and complimentary.
Price: It was definitely stressful to have the financial constraints on the first album. I ran out of money. I was running into problems left and right. It definitively felt good to go in there and stay in Memphis for 11 days. Me and the boys went back home, and I kept working on the record on my own in Nashville at a couple of studios. We took our time mixing. We had Bob Ludwig master it. It doesn’t get any better than that.

CONCERT REVIEW
MARTY PARTY Stuart shows his love of both kinds of music — country and western BY NATHAN POPPE LOOKatOKC Editor
F
rom the silk scarf around his neck to the fringe on his jacket, Marty Stuart clearly advertised his connection to classic country and western music on Jan. 21. But it’s the inside that counts — the inside of a venue that is — and the five-time Grammy winner still puts on an incredible display of musicianship. Backed by his Fabulous Superlatives, there wasn’t a sour note during Stuart’s hour-plus performance at the Tower Theatre. Roughly 500 seated patrons filled the venue to catch Stuart, 59, who was just in Oklahoma last November opening for Chris Stapleton at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Stuart and Co. put just as much energy into the show as they did in front of an arena-sized crowd. The band cruised through decades of material, touching on tracks from 2017’s sensational “Way Out West” and stretching back to play covers of Johnny Cash and Oklahoma’s own Woody Guthrie. Drummer Harry Stinson handled lead vocal duties

“The Ballad of Pretty Boy Floyd.” My evening’s highlight was the cover of Marty Robbins’ “El Paso,” a song with more than 400 lyrics. The quartet, which included guitarist Kenny Vaughan and bassist Chris Scruggs, did justice to the supremely catchy number. They’re an incredibly tight band and can comfortably switch between Tex-Mex numbers to surfy guitar riffs in minutes. They know how to rock and aren’t afraid to. If you were a big fan of Stuart then there was a lot to love and — as a recent convert myself — a lot to
learn. Stuart strikes me as a music lifer who seems at home onstage and probably wouldn’t hesitate calling himself a luminary to old-school stylings. After all, his crew followed up the Oklahoma City performance with a stop in Tulsa, which coincided with an opening celebration of the “Marty Stuart’s Way Out West: A Country Music Odyssey” exhibit at the Woody Guthrie Cultural Center.

That’ll be on display until May 6. Tulsa’s Travis Linville opened up the concert with a confident solo set. The singer-songwriter, who was born in Chickasha, has been performing original music for nearly 20 years and flexes his seasoned playing and laid-back lyrics like it’s second nature. There was no way of telling he’d been up since 3 a.m. traveling back to Oklahoma from the Sundance Film Festival. After that, Marty started the party, and it was a blast.

10 MOVIES WORTH CHECKING OUT IN
2018 LOOKATOKC.COM
M OV I E S
BY GENE TRIPLETT | For LOOKatOKC Some of 2018’s coming attractions show great promise for the popcorn-munching crowds who’ll be venturing to the multiplexes, seeking temporary escape from reality’s routines to experience other worlds imagined by filmmakers and projected on big screens in 2D, 3D or IMAX formats. In the coming year, we’ll hope for intelligent signs of life at the movies along the way. The following is a list of intriguing possibilities, with release dates that — as always — are subject to change.
FEB. 16 The first superhero of African descent in mainstream comics finally takes center stage in his own full-length, live-action feature film, “Black Panther,” with star Chadwick Boseman reprising the role he first took on in “Captain America: Civil War” (2016). This latest cinematic offering from the Marvel Comics Universe is touted as the second most anticipated movie of 2018 behind another Marvel production, “Avengers: Infinity War.” Ryan Coogler directed and co-wrote the effort.
FEB. 23 British writer-director Alex Garland (“Ex Machina,” “28 Days Later,” “Never Let Me Go”) helms “Annihilation,” an adventure-drama-fantasy — with some horror thrown in for good measure — about a biologist (Natalie Portman) who goes in search of her missing husband (Oscar Isaac) on SEE MOVIES, 24

MARCH 9 In the sci-fi fantasy “A Wrinkle in Time,” Meg Murry (Storm Reid) learns her astrophysical father is being held prisoner on a distant planet by an evil force and works with her highly intelligent brother, her classmate, and three astral travelers to rescue him. A remake of an earlier film, and based on a 1962 novel by Madeleine L’Engle, this one’s directed by Zva DuVernay from a screenplay by Jennifer Lee, and also

the Jaegers, gigantic humanoid mechas, each controlled by at least two pilots, whose minds are joined by a mental link. No telling what’ll happen this time. The cast includes John Boyega, Scott Eastwood, Cailee Spaeny and Jing Tian.
MARCH 23 Although writer-director Guillermo del Toro’s sci-fi monster epic “Pacific Rim” barely treaded water at the U.S. box office in 2013, it did swimmingly in China and other foreign markets, which may explain why a sequel called “Pacific Rim Uprising” was ordered. Del Toro coproduces with six other people on this one, but hands the directing reins to Steven S. DeKnight (TV’s “Spartacus”) this time out. As in the first “Rim” shot, the screenplay was written by Travis Beacham and del Toro from a story by Beacham. The film is set in the future, when Earth is at war with the Kaiju, and huge sea monsters emerge from an interdimensional portal on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. To combat the monsters, humanity unites to create
Wes Anderson, Oscar-nominated writer-director of such eccentric comedy gems as “The Royal Tenenbaums,” “Moonrise Kingdom,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel” and the animated “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” tries his hand at stop-motion realism with “Isle of Dogs,” a fantasy set in a dystopian future Japan in which dogs have been quarantined to an island due to a “canine flu.” The dogs are then set loose by a small boy in search of his lost canine friend. An illustrious cast of actors lend their familiar voices to the four- and two-legged characters, including Bryan Cranston, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Scarlett Johansson, Liev Schreiber and Edward Norton, among others.

MARCH 30 Steven Spielberg directs and co-produces “Ready Player One,” a sci-fi thriller written by Zak Penn and Ernest Cline, based on Cline’s novel set in the year 2045, when much of Earth’s population centers have become slum-like due to overpopulation, pollution, corruption, and climate change. To escape their desolation, people use the virtual reality world of the OASIS (Ontologically Anthropocentric Sensory Immersive Simulation), where they can engage in numerous activities of work, education, and entertainment. When the founder of OASIS dies, he wills ownership of OASIS to the first person who can find a hidden treasure within OASIS by playing its games and solving its puzzles. A race ensues between a young man and his friends, and a large corporate entity that wants to control OASIS for themselves. Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn, T.J. Miller, Simon Pegg and Mark Rylance star.
Oklahoma’s native son Ron Howard (Fun fact: He was born in Duncan) directs “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” which follows a young Han Solo and Chewbacca’s adventures before joining the Rebellion, including their early encounters with Lando Calrissian, as imagined in a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan (“The Big Chill, “Silverado”) and his son, Jon Kasdan. Alden Ehrenreich (“Hail, Caesar!”) stars as Solo, with Donald Glover as Calrissian, and Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, with Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca rounding out the cast.

AUG . 17 Set in 1980s Detroit at the height of the crack epidemic, “White Boy Rick” is based on the true story of teenager Richard Wershe Jr. (Richie Merritt), who became a police informant and a drug dealer before he was abandoned by his handlers and sentenced to life in prison. Matthew McConaughey stars as Richard’s angry blue-collar father, with a cast that also includes Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bruce Dern, Bel Powley and Piper Laurie. Award-winning filmmaker Yann Demange directs.
APRIL 6 The affable John Krasinski (TV’s “The Office”) is the unlikely director and star, along with his co-star and real-life wife Emily Blunt, of the horror/sci-fi thriller “A Quiet Place,” where a family is stuck on a remote farm and challenged with communicating only by sign language, keeping utterly silent so as not to attract an evil force which is summoned by the slightest of vocal sounds. Deaf actor Millicent Simmonds plays the family member who coaches her hearing family in mute communication, in this tale of terror from Bryan Woods, Scott Beck and Krasinski.
