Dimitri Logothetis knows a thing or two about movies. Dimitri acted in a few movies as a child, including The Choirboys, New York, New York, and Victory at Entebbe. Dimitri has worn many hats in the entertainment industry, including producer, writer, and director. We had the incredible opportunity to interview the busy director about his movies Kickboxer and his latest film Jiu Jitsu which stars, Nicolas Cage and is now streaming at #4 on Netflix. AOTN: What is it like working with a major studio? DIMITRI LOGOTHETIS: You know, the majority of my work is independent. 75% independent? And I do about 25% of major studio stuff. Which is a longer road because you need to, you know, build your resume. You need to work at the studio, and the studio needs to agree. You get an actor, and maybe there not available. So you go through a lot of development. You know, you have to fly by the seat of your pants when you’re ready to go. And most of the time, what I tell everybody is, you know, …
Michael Connelly knows a thing or two about justice and murder. The writer/creator has been writing about those very things for decades and is showing no signs of slowing down. Connelly is probably best known as the creator of the hit show Bosch, which is in its seventh season. The films Blood Work and The Lincoln Lawyer are based on Connelly’s books. It was recently announced that Netflix had ordered a series based on The Lincoln Lawyer with famed television showrunner David E. Kelly. With all that going on, Connelly has still found time to write and make podcasts (Murder Book), and now The Wonderland Murders & The Secret History of Hollywood, which is available on Audible. AOTN: What got you into writing about crime and mystery? MICHAEL CONNELLY: It’s almost like all these dominoes of faith had to fall. And then again, but one of the key things was when I was 16, I witnessed a witness in a case where I saw a guy hiding a gun and using it to shoot somebody. And so I spent a …
Season seven of of SeriesFest is underway. One of the highlights was a behind the scenes talk between cast and creators for the upcoming show Dr. Death which will be premiering on Peacock. The show will star Joshua Jackson, Christian Slater, and AnnaSophia Robb. Based on Wondery’s hit podcast, DR. DEATH is inspired by the terrifying true story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch (Joshua Jackson), a rising star in the Dallas medical community. Young, charismatic and ostensibly brilliant, Dr. Duntsch was building a flourishing neurosurgery practice when everything suddenly changed. Patients entered his operating room for complex but routine spinal surgeries and left permanently maimed or dead. As victims piled up, two fellow physicians, neurosurgeon Robert Henderson (Alec Baldwin) and vascular surgeon Randall Kirby (Christian Slater), as well as Dallas prosecutor Michelle Shughart (AnnaSophia Robb), set out to stop him. DR. DEATH explores the twisted mind of Dr. Duntsch and the failures of the system designed to protect the most defenseless among us. The show will be released on Peacock on July 15th on Peacock.

Season One of Kevin Can F Himself is underway on AMC, and it is a precious gem of a show. The show is unlike anything I’ve ever seen on television, and I love it. The show stars Annie Murphy as Allison (Schitt’s Creek) and Eric Peterson as Allison’s very annoying husband, Kevin. The show follows Allison McRoberts, a sitcom wife who escapes the prerecorded laughs and multi-camera setup famous in many American sitcoms and starts leading her own life. Every time she is away from her husband, the viewers look at what Allison feels more realistically by using a single camera setup. For everybody who has ever watched a sitcom show and thought that the characters were annoying and fake, this show is for you. Just the concept alone was enough to keep me watching. The show was created by Valerie Armstrong, who also serves as an executive producer. Check out new episodes of Kevin Can F Himself on AMC on Sunday nights.
