Synopsis:
Set in the early 1950s, “Lessons in Chemistry” follows Elizabeth Zott (played by Larson), whose dream of being a scientist is put on hold in a society deeming that women belong in the domestic sphere, not the professional one. When Elizabeth finds herself pregnant, alone and fired from her lab, she musters the ingenuity only a single mother has. She accepts a job as a host on a TV cooking show, and sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives – and the men who are suddenly listening – a lot more than recipes… all the while craving a return to her true love: science.
Hailing from Apple Studios, “Lessons in Chemistry” is produced by Aggregate Films. Six-time Emmy Award-nominee Lee Eisenberg (“WeCrashed,” “Little America”) serves as showrunner. The series is executive produced by Academy Award-winner Brie Larson and co-executive producer Elijah Allan-Blitz of their The Great Unknown Productions; Emmy Award-winner Jason Bateman and Michael Costigan (“Ozark,” “A Teacher”) executive produce for Aggregate Films; and, Academy Award-nominee Susannah Grant (“Unbelievable,” “Erin Brockovich”).

September
September 8 – “Growing Up” (Disney+ Day Premiere)
Created by Brie Larson and Culture.House, “Growing Up” is an innovative hybrid docu-series that explores the challenges, triumphs, and complexities of adolescence through ten compelling coming of age stories. The series uses narrative, experimental, and documentary filmmaking to follow one casted individual, ages 18-22, as they tell their story. They represent a wide range of lived experiences, giving audiences emotionally powerful narratives that offer an engaging look at teenage-hood and the diverse social, familial, and internal obstacles young people face on their path to self-discovery and acceptance. Each 30-minute episode features one young person, or “hero,” and their experience growing up. Each episode is anchored by a deeply personal interview that allows our heroes to walk us through their childhood and teenage years. Alongside these interviews, creative cinematic reenactments help bring their major inflection points to life.
September 8 – “Epic Adventures with Bertie Gregory” (Disney+ Day Premiere)
The face of a new generation of aspirational adventurers and natural history filmmakers, 29-year-old National Geographic Explorer Bertie Gregory takes viewers on epic and nail-biting journeys that push into the most spectacular and secretive corners of our wild world.

For weeks at a time, the charismatic BAFTA Award-winning cinematographer immerses himself into the animals’ lives to capture the untold stories of iconic creatures living in some of the harshest environments on our planet. This season, we will see Bertie braving the icy worlds of Antarctica in search of the biggest gathering of whales ever filmed and coming face-to-face with specialist buffalo-hunting lions in Zambia. In this multipart adventure series, he will take audiences on an ambitious odyssey across the globe, showcasing the natural world at a time when it faces its greatest challenges.

Synopsis:
Michael B. Jordan and Oscar winners Jamie Foxx (“Ray,” “Baby Driver,” “Django: Unchained”) and Brie Larson (“Room,” “Short Term 12,” “Captain Marvel”) star in “Just Mercy,” an inspiring drama that brings one of the most important stories of our time to the big screen.
Award-winning filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton (“The Glass Castle,” “Short Term 12”) directed the film from a screenplay he co-wrote, based on Bryan Stevenson’s bestselling memoir.
“Just Mercy” is based on the powerful and thought-provoking true story of young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Jordan) and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or who were not afforded proper representation, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Larson). One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Foxx), who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the main testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political maneuverings, as well as overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter, and others like him, with the odds—and the system— stacked against them.
The main cast also includes Rob Morgan (“Mudbound”) as Herbert Richardson, a fellow prisoner who also sits on death row awaiting his fate; Tim Blake Nelson (“Wormwood”) as Ralph Myers, whose pivotal testimony against Walter McMillian is called into question; Rafe Spall (“The Big Short”) as Tommy Chapman, the DA who is fighting to uphold Walter’s conviction and sentence; O’Shea Jackson Jr. (“Straight Outta Compton”) as Anthony Ray Hinton, another wrongly convicted death row inmate whose cause is taken up by Bryan; and Karan Kendrick (“The Hate U Give”) as Walter’s wife, Minnie McMillian, who stands by her husband.
The film was produced by two-time Oscar nominee Gil Netter (“Life of Pi,” “The Blind Side”), Asher Goldstein (“Short Term 12”) and Michael B. Jordan. Bryan Stevenson, Mike Drake, Niija Kuykendall, Gabriel Hammond, Daniel Hammond, Scott Budnick, Jeff Skoll and Charles D. King served as executive producers.
Cretton co-wrote the screenplay with Andrew Lanham (“The Glass Castle”), based on Stevenson’s book Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption. Published in 2014 by Spiegel & Grau, the book has spent more than 180 weeks on The New York Times Best Sellers List and counting. It was also named one of the year’s best books by a number of top publications, including TIME Magazine. For the book, Stevenson also won the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence, an NAACP Image Award, and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize for Nonfiction.\
Cretton’s behind-the-scenes creative team included director of photography Brett Pawlak, production designer Sharon Seymour, editor Nat Sanders and composer Joel P West, all of whom previously collaborated with the director on “The Glass Castle.” They are joined by costume designer Francine Jamison-Tanchuck (“Detroit,” “Roman J. Israel, Esq.”).
Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in Association with Endeavor Content/One Community/Participant Media/Macro, a Gil Netter Production, an Outlier Society Production,
“Just Mercy.” The film is slated for limited release on December 25, 2019 and will go wide on January 10, 2020. “Just Mercy” will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and has been rated PG-13 for thematic content, including some racial epithets.

For the first time ever in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we get not only a female-led Film, but also one set in the ’90s. Captain Marvel stars Academy Award winner Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, centering on her journey as one of the most powerful superheroes in the universe. She realizes her true self amidst a war between two races of aliens, a galactic battle which reaches earth.
The Film directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck stars Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, Rune Temte, Algenis Perez Soto, Mckenna Grace, with Annette Bening, with Clark Gregg, and Jude Law.
British Actress Lashana Lynch graced the Red Carpet at Toronto’s Scotiabank Theatre tonight, a beauty in black, speaking to local press at the Canadian Premiere of Captain Marvel. Known best stateside for her work on Shonda Rhimes’ Still Star-Crossed, Lynch for several years has been auditioning for roles in the MCU. Finally the right role had surfaced for her and she stars as Maria Rambeau, best friend and Co-Pilot to Larson’s Danvers, a prominent role particularly late in the Film.
Joining her on the Carpet were Canadian athletes including Paralympian Sprinter Marissa Papaconstantinou, Halfpipe Snowboarder Calynn Irwin and CTV‘s Ben Mulroney. Lynch‘s proud best friend Adoma who lives in Toronto, also was at her side posing for a photo op.
The tagline for Captain Marvel is “higher, further and faster.” . We ask both Papaconstantinou and Irwin about this philosophy in their disciplines and also about their favourite MCU superheroes.
Marissa Papaconstantinou
“‘Higher, further and faster’ makes me want to further push the limits. I’ve been in Track & Field for a really long time and I’ve experienced a lot of things at a very young age, but I guess the main goal this year is to get on the podium. That’s definitely what I’m gonna be looking for this year.”.
On her favourite Marvel superheroes, she reveals, “I love Black Panther and Captain America!”.
Calynn Irwin
“As a Halfpipe Snowboarder, we’re constantly striving to go ‘higher, further and faster’, so that goes to the core for my discipline in Snowboarding. ‘Higher’ means pushing yourself that little bit more ‘further’ and that little bit ‘faster’, so at the end of the day you can achieve whatever you put your mind to.”.
Like Papaconstantinou, she says “I loved Captain America“. She also divulges her not-so-secret crush, “Thor… gotta love Chris Hemsworth!”.
Lashana Lynch
We ask Lynch about the toughest thing about her role, which saw her working closely with mothers who also are pilots, and airmen. She recalls, “The greatest challenge was making sure I honour and respect the military. They don’t often get the light shone on them and I just wanted to do them justice. Treat their world well and that they get their chance to shine! Maria and Carol are two very strong women and I thinking they represent the military well.”.
Lynch also is a huge Marvel fan, listing for us her personal favourites. “Black Widow, Shuri, Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man is cool. Let’s just say all the women!”.
It’s not every day one gets a breakout role alongside an Oscar winner. We ask her about building that chemistry with her on and off-screen buddy Larson. “Oh, it was natural, we didn’t really have to really work to create a friendship on screen or anything like that. We both want to represent women in Cinema in the best form and we both want to shine a light on how representation needs to take a shift in 2019. We had the chance to connect together, hang-out and have a one-on-one conversation as women on-screen. It felt really special and really organic.”.
