While Season 2 of “Wheel of Time” concluded Friday, filming on the Prime Video fantasy series’ third season had already started filming prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
“I am speaking to you a day after filming it. We are in the midst of it. We are all energized by everything that’s going on in Season 3,” star Rosamund Pike told TheWrap in a June 28 interview, days before the onset of actors’ guild strike. “We feel like we’ve established the rules of our world, we can explore them and push the boundaries, we can do more experimental camera work and we can try and get a visual language for these incredible concepts that [author] Robert Jordan came up with.”
She said that casting for Season 3 has been shaping up “really, really, really well.”

Prime Video has shared a first look at “The Wheel of Time” Season 2, which will premiere on the streamer on Sept. 1.
Based on the best-selling Robert Jordan fantasy series, a humble farm boy, Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski), learns he is The Dragon Reborn — a dangerous figure from history destined to save the world … or break it. Desperate to protect him from the Dark One, an army of powerful sorceresses must reckon with his burgeoning power and encroaching madness. In the second season, threats new and very old seek out the young friends from the Two Rivers, now scattered over the world. The woman who found and guided them is now powerless to help and they must find other sources of strength.
Ahead of the Season 2 premiere, the first season of the show will stream on Amazon Freevee for free starting July 14.

Bring Me the Horizon has released a new song, “Obey,” featuring fellow British rocker Yungblud.
The single arrives with a vintage monster-movie music video, featuring Yungblud and Bmth frontman Oli Sykes duking it out inside of giant robots, Neon Genesis Evangelion-style. Although “Obey” is a battle-ready anthem with plenty of guttural screaming from its two leads, the music video takes a less antagonistic route in how the two robots end up settling their differences.

Award-winning filmmaker Liam Saint-Pierre has embarked on a project to encourage Britons to share what they have and haven’t missed during the lockdown via a free anonymous phone line known as The Missing Line. Selected caller confessions will form the basis of “Missed Calls,” a short documentary film sketching 24 hours of life in lockdown in the U.K.
The motivation for the project stems from a survey conducted in May by the U.K.’s Office for National Statistics, which concluded that millions of people across the country had their wellbeing affected by loneliness during the lockdown. Mental health charity Mind states that talking is an effective way to combat loneliness.
The U.K. was in lockdown from March 23, and began limping back to some semblance of normality from June 15, when non-essential businesses began to reopen. For many, the 80 days of lockdown meant 80 days of silence. The documentary aims...

South Korean cinematographer Kim Ji-yong won the EnergaCamerimage fest top prize, the Golden Frog, on Saturday for the sweeping imagery of his Renaissance-era war story “The Fortress” by director Hwang Dong-Hyuk. Juror David Gropman, a production designer, praised the film’s “staggering beauty and epic scale.”
Poland’s own rising-star Dp Lukasz Zal won the Silver Frog for the crisp, monochrome look of period love story “Cold War” by Pawel Pawlikowski while Alfonso Cuaron, who wrote, directed and filmed the richly atmospheric black-and-white film “Roma,” named for the Mexico City neighborhood where he grew up, scored the Bronze Frog.
The prizes, handed out at the Opera Nova music hall in Bydgoszcz, Poland, capped a week of top cinematography work in 10 competitions, an experience fest director Marek Zydowicz described as a great success despite “crisis situations” during the week, which included the brief arrest of cinematographer Matthew Libatique on suspicion of assault.

Yorgos Lanthimos’ acclaimed period drama “The Favourite,” and Bart Layton’s heist movie “American Animals,” have landed the most British Independent Film Award nominations this year, with 13 and 11 apiece. “You Were Never Really Here” also put in a strong showing with 8 noms.
Bifa has made strides to ensure its voters for its awards are mindful of their influences and this year instigated a BFI-backed unconscious bias program for its voting members, juries, committees, and board.
In a record year for female representation – over 40% of nominations in the individual categories are women – Olivia Colman is nominated for best actress for her role as Queen Anne in “The Favourite.” Her co-stars Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz are both up for best supporting actress. The latter also landed a best actress nom for her performance in “Disobedience.”

In 1988, John Carpenter released one of his best films, a sci-fi action movie designed to comment on the sociopolitical landscape of the 1980s. Little did Carpenter know back then that the movie would only become more and more prescient over the next 30 years. Though released in 1988, They Live is a movie about right now.
I see a lot of people online complaining that they want their movies and their politics kept separate. I hope those people have never seen They Live. The two cannot be separated. The film, based on Ray Nelson’s 1963 short story “Eight O’Clock in the Morning,” is Carpenter’s shot across the bow: a howl of rage about the Lie of the American Dream disguised as a violent B-movie. To think that one can watch They Live—most movies, for that matter—divorced of any and all political context is to willfully ignore the message.
