Colman Domingo isn’t looking to perpetuate stereotypes onscreen, especially when it comes to selecting projects to produce.
Domingo told GQ that his production company Edith predominantly receives scripts about “slavery and being queer.” As a queer Black-Latin filmmaker, Domingo doesn’t need to feel pigeonholed by his identity.
“The two things that I constantly get sent are about slavery and being queer,” Domingo said. “And I always think, ‘So why are you sending me this, if this isn’t even any of my interests, really?'”
Instead, Domingo added he wants to be writing and producing projects that “have a lot of light in them.”
Domingo even added a line to his upcoming film “Sing Sing,” saying, “Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.” And that comedy is what he’s striving for, while still being an Oscar-nominated dramatic actor.
“I like that I’m known for gravitas. If, at the end of the day,...

Not all dreams are meant to come true.
Peacock’s straight-to-series order of “Field of Dreams” is no longer moving forward.
The 1989 baseball classic starring Kevin Costner was being adapted for the small and streaming screen by writer and executive producer Michael Schur. TheWrap has learned Universal Television is now talking to other interested buyers.
Schur’s “Field of Dreams” series was planned as a loose retelling of the feature film, which starred Costner as Ray Kinsella, a farmer in Iowa who, encouraged by an unknown, ethereal voice, builds a baseball diamond in the middle of his cornfield.

Although it had been in the works for a while, today’s virtual upfront presentation by Fox Sports packed uncanny punch after Thursday’s big mask news.
The Centers for Disease Control dramatically shifted its guidance, saying those vaccinated against Covid-19 could ditch their masks in most situations. Fox’s 45-minute pitch almost completely avoided any mention of the pandemic, instead reveling in what the network expects will be a total return to sports normal. That means tailgate parties, cheers, jeers and capacity crowds.
“It’s meaningful when you have full stadiums,” Fox Sports CEO Eric Shanks told lead play-by-play announcer Joe Buck. “You feel it. It makes you broadcast differently. … And I’m sure it makes the players more amped-up.” Agreed Buck, “I can’t wait for these stadiums to be jam-packed.”
