ALEC BALDWIN’S
New Gig Has An Old-School Feel By Kellie Freeze
Alec Baldwin’s new series takes a decidedly old-school approach to the chat show category by doing something that’s been lacking in the genre for quite some time — talking. Unlike modern late-night or talk shows that rely on skits and gimmicks, Baldwin proposes a more cerebral and conversation-centric series in the vein of The Dick Cavett Show and Tom Snyder’s The Tomorrow Show. “It’s a unique opportunity to do a thoughtful, smart talk show, without a lot of bells and whistles,” says executive producer Jason Schrift. “It’s less of an interview, and more of eavesdropping on a conversation.” The series — originally called Sundays With Alec Baldwin — had a test run in March in the post-Oscars time slot, where Baldwin interviewed comedian Jerry Seinfeld and SNL standout Kate McKinnon and tackled topics ranging from their careers and shared histories to cufflinks and the #MeToo movement. “Alec’s a curious guy, and he really brings it out in people with the way we shoot the show,” says Schrift. “It’s one where he’s able to just do a long, deep dive. We don’t interrupt him; we don’t give him commercial breaks. He’s able to really just talk and extract whatever he can.” The approach to the series is high-brow and low-tech. Schrift
explains, “We keep our cameras far back. There is no audience on the show. When the guest is brought out on the stage, that’s exactly when the show starts. So there’s no stage manager saying ‘action’ or no one coming over the loudspeaker. It is how a conversation would start in normal life, except with a microphone.” The Alec Baldwin Show airs on ABC Sundays beginning Oct. 14.

Terrifyi ELI ROTH’S: HISTORY OF HORROR

In your opinion, who are the modern masters of horror? Eli Roth: I look at George Romero, [John] Carpenter, you know, they have that long history, but the directors that I’ve seen recently that I go “wow” are definitely John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place, Jordan Peele’s Get Out, André Øvredal, who did Trollhunter, and also his second film, The

Eli Roth has directed some of the scariest cult-horror movies of the past 15 years, including Cabin Fever and the Hostel franchise. Up next, the actor/director/producer acts as curator in AMC Visionaries: Eli Roth’s History of Horror, which premieres late-night Oct. 14. This is the third time that AMC has taken a deep dive into a topic under its AMC Visionaries banner. In the episodes steered by Roth, he and his fellow horror luminaries gather and conduct salon-like discussions about horror films that have impacted pop culture. Roth will be joined by stars and storytellers including Stephen King, Quentin Tarantino, Jordan Peele, Robert Englund, Linda Blair, Tippi Hedren, Rob Zombie, John Landis and Jamie Lee Curtis. “I wanted a really good balance, a lot of different voices,” Roth shares. “But people that I knew would be super enthusiastic and great — a mix of historians, mix of actors, mix of directors — so you get lots of really fun perspectives. And I want to hear their perspectives on other movies. I love Robert [Englund] telling stories about Freddy [Krueger], but I’d love to hear what he thinks about King Kong and Frankenstein.”
ing TV Autopsy of Jane Doe, is fantastic. … So there are really, really exciting new directors. If you had the opportunity to remake a horror classic, which one would you want to redo and why? Caddyshack II. I was so hugely disappointed that it was an unintentional horror movie. That or The Fly II. I remember being profoundly let down by that movie. It deserved a better sequel. I have some other films I want to remake, but I can’t list them or someone else will think of it and maybe get the rights before I do. When have you snuck an homage to a horror classic into one of your films? When have I not? Cabin Fever is a series of homages. But I am very proud that I snuck in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre reference into The House With a Clock in Its Walls that adult fans will notice but that kids will see as a PG-rated joke.

What horror movie first made you lose sleep? The Exorcist. Age 6. I don’t know if a movie has ever affected me quite like that. I’ve probably been chasing that high ever since. In your opinion, which is Lon Chaney’s finest horror role? The Phantom of the Opera. That image terrified me as a kid. What Chaney did was so revolutionary and iconic. I love so many of his films, but Phantom for me will always be the top. Tell us about The House With a Clock in Its Walls, produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin
Entertainment; is this a new era of your filmmaking? For me it was really that exercise in creativity, trying to be scary in a child-friendly kind of way but still with that bit of Amblin mischief like Gremlins. I really wanted to make a movie that felt like Gremlins or E.T. or Raiders of the Lost Ark or Poltergeist, because as much as I love Maniac and A Nightmare on Elm Street, the movies I saw in the theater were those scary PG Amblin movies. So really, it’s a dream to get to carry the torch. What early horror movies inspire you? You look at Carl Dreyer’s Vampyr, Nosferatu and Frankenstein — those are still terrifying. Also, Quentin [Tarantino] and I go very deep in the show talking about Abbott and Costello — Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein — wow! As a kid, the stuff that was on TV, the horror movies, when they got into Abbott and Costello, you’re like, “Oh my gosh, I’m seeing what Abbott and Costello would do!” Those two worlds merging completely blew my mind as a kid because they were mixing horror and comedy, and the monsters would still kill people in those movies. They weren’t funny monsters. The monsters were always monsters. – Kellie Freeze 5

et up your pup tent and plop yourself in front of your TV: Jennifer Garner returns to television in HBO’s Camping, premiering Oct. 14. “I always said I’d come back to TV,” the dimpled actress grins, but since Garner’s high-octane spy drama Alias ended in 2006, she has been in big demand on the big screen. She’s starred in Hollywood blockbusters ranging from charming rom-coms like 13 Going on 30 and Oscarwinning dramas like Dallas Buyers Club to family flicks like The Odd Life of Timothy Green and butt-kicking action flicks like September’s Peppermint. “I love the ongoing nature of TV,” she tells us. “I love

the familial feeling on set. I love getting a new script every week. But it has to be something that is written well, and Camping is.” The eight-episode comedy is based on Julia Davis’ British series of the same name, but with a fresh Americanized twist, courtesy of the writing/ producing team of Lena 6

Dunham and Jenni Konner. “I didn’t hesitate because the writing was so smart, and because it was Jenni Konner directing, and because I laughed my head off when I read it,” Garner reveals. “And it was shot in L.A. — I’m a mom, I have to figure that stuff out.” The satire follows uptight suburban mom Kathryn (Garner) as she leads an illfated group camping trip to celebrate the 45th birthday of her husband, Walt (David Tennant). They are joined by a ragtag group that includes Kathryn’s meek sister (Ione Skye), her drug-addicted boyfriend (Chris Sullivan), a married couple consisting of Walt’s best friend and Kathryn’s ex-best friend (played by real-life couple Brett Gelman and Janicza Bravo), the group’s recently separated pal (Arturo del Puerto), and a bizarre free spirit (Juliette Lewis) who has crashed the party and is along for the adventure. “It’s definitely a group of fish out of water,” Garner laughs. “These people do not really belong in the woods, and they’re part enjoying it, part tolerating it for Walt, and also just breathing through the fact that Kathryn has insisted on this weekend. I mean, it’s one thing to go camping with your friends for a night or two, but it’s four days. At the Groupon rate!” Garner describes her character as “a lot to handle” and admits that when she watched the U.K. version of
Camping, she was intimidated by her. “The British version is unflinching, and she is relentlessly shrill and controlling,” Garner shares. “The British are unafraid in this way. They don’t give her a moment where you see why, or who she is underneath, or any sense of humanity.” Garner recalls that she told Dunham and Konner that she didn’t know if the role was right for her. She told them, “I don’t know that I can play that. I appreciate her bravery in her unlikability, and I think it is funny, but I don’t know if an American audience would get that.” But when Garner saw the satirical but sensitive scripts delivered by Konner and Dunham that were filled with biting wit but also with depth and humanity, she was overjoyed. “They are so facile in their use of language to expose the emotions of a person,” she gushes. “Jenni’s ability just to articulate the emotion of a moment is just so ... oh, it’s just so fun, and so rich.” And while Dunham spent most of the L.A.-based shoot on the opposite coast, Garner tells that her presence infused the production. “Lena’s just funny. She was in New York for a lot of it, but everything she sent our way, it was just so incredibly funny, and they’re also just not afraid to turn over the rock and see what’s underneath.” And under Kathryn’s rock of pseudo-perfection and aplomb hides a seething pile
of ill will. “Kathryn’s one of those people who, when she’s doing something for you, it’s aggressive,” explains Garner. “It has nothing to do with what you want. It has nothing to do with the group dynamic. It is what she’s decided, and she’s aggressively making you do it, and then making you feel like @#$% for not being as appreciative as she thinks you should be at all times.”
While recalling the vitriol that she got to spew as Kathryn, Garner shares, “It was fun to play someone who was so complicated, and who said such hateful and ridiculous things. And to commit to them, I mean, I can’t tell you how often I would try to soften it, and Jenni [Konner] would say, ‘No, no. Go hard! She is not apologizing. This is really how she feels about it,’ and then to look for the moment where you see why she is the way she is, and what is going on in her mind, and who she was back when she was fun. To find those moments, it just made it really a rich experience.” 7

Think of what our world has accomplished in just 60 years through NASA — we’ve walked on the moon, roved on Mars, discovered new galaxies, built an international space station, monitored and learned about our Mother Earth, and so much more. This film is from Oscar-nominated director Rory Kennedy, who shares: “I felt that now coming upon its 60th anniversary, there had been less attention for the accomplishments of NASA, and now that we had all these years behind us, we had the opportunity to look back and to revisit these extraordinary things NASA has done to help us understand who we are.” Premieres on Discovery Channel & Science Channel Oct. 13
