Michaela (Melissa Roxburg) and Ben Stone (Josh Dallas), Jared Vasquez (J.R. Ramirez) and more are back in action and chasing down any and all leads to figure out how to beat their expiration date in the trailer for “Manifest” Season 4, which Netflix dropped Saturday. (You can watch it above)

The passengers of Montego Air Flight 828, who went missing five and a half years ago, only to return like no time had passed, have an expiration date of June 2, 2024.

“I had a calling, it was awful,” Ben says to his sister Michaela at the beginning of the trailer. “Everything was swallowed by ash.”

The trailer follows Ben as he swipes his finger across a dusty (or ashy) desktop, before cutting to a shot of a volcano looking ready to erupt.

“828 wasn’t an accident,” Michaela says to her brother.

Vance wasn't lying when he referred to the Nsa's 828 investigation room as "eureka."

Much of Manifest Season 3 Episode 4 focused on the mystery surrounding what happened to Flight 828 and the tailfin, and it was a lot to process. 

We were bombarded with plenty of information, but as usual, with every answer, several new questions arose. 

It's almost like we can't ever get ahead of the mystery; we're always two steps behind as we try to piece together all the clues. 

Ben, Saanvi, and Mic have been trying to figure this out on their own, but it's evident that there's so much at play here that even a robust team of government researchers and scientists has been struggling to come up with any plausible theories. 

Mic: Are you saying that you felt what Beverly was feeling?

Zeke: I think I did.

Mic: That is next-level.

To make the death-row drama Clemency, stars Alfre Woodard and Aldis Hodge and writer-director Chinonye Chukwu immersed themselves in the prison community.

Chukwu was initially inspired by the 2011 execution of death-row inmate Troy Davis and wondered about the toll overseeing such events took on the prison wardens. She moved to Ohio, volunteered on 14 clemency cases and interviewed "dozens and dozens and dozens," as Chukwu told The Hollywood Reporter, of wardens, lawyers, corrections staff and people who were incarcerated, with many of those she consulted reading and offering feedback on her script....

“Clemency” writer-director Chinonye Chukwu is weighing in on the HFPA’s failure to nominated a female director for the 2020 Golden Globes.

“It’s part of the systemic oppressions that we’re all apart of and that’s internalized in many,” Chukwu told Variety in response to Monday morning’s announcement. “We need to get people in positions of power who want to dismantle it, who see women of color as talented with ability, and who see our films and see us.”

On Monday night, the filmmaker was in New York City to celebrate her upcoming film “Clemency” with a special screening held at the Whitby Hotel. For the film, which she began heavily researching and writing after the execution of Troy Davis in 2011 (even volunteering on an Ohio clemency case), Chukwu won the Sundance Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize and was the first black woman to do so.

Neon brought the films Parasite and Clemency to The Contenders Los Angeles on Saturday. Parasite is a Korean con artist film that won the Palme d’Or at Cannes this year. Clemency is an American drama about a death row warden that won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance this year. The connection is that both filmmakers were inspired by the past to tell modern fictional tales.

In Parasite, the Kim family sabotages the wealthy Park family’s help so they can live in their luxurious house. Writer-director Bong Joon Ho said he got the idea from one of his own college jobs.

“I taught a middle school boy and he would take me to every corner of the house to show me around and he would talk about his parents, although I never asked,” Bong said through an interpreter. “So I was fired only after two months. If I hadn’t been fired,...
