Stone Canyon Entertainment has announced the start of production on “Who Are the Marcuses,” a feature documentary about a mysterious couple who donated half a billion dollars to Israel, the largest single gift in the history of the state.
Matthew Mishory is directing, with Stone Canyon’s Bradford Schlei and Alvaro Fernandez producing, and executive producers Marc Bennett and Rhino Films’ Stephen Nemeth. Filming is set to begin in Israel and in Austin, Texas in the first quarter of the year for a 2022 release. The film pieces together the lives of Holocaust refugees Lottie and Howard Marcus (pictured), who lived in a modest San Diego apartment and bequeathed half a billion dollars to Ben-Gurion University of the Negev to study water management.
The couple hoped their gift would help bring about regional conflict resolution in Israel and peace through water. The film will explore how they invested their nest egg...

A batch of new images from Gotham‘s strangely-titled upcoming episode, “Everyone Has A Cobblepot,” have appeared online, showing the return of young Assistant District Attorney Harvey Dent – played by Masters of Sex alum Nicholas D’Agosto – and the debut of the creepy serial killer known as the Dollmaker.
The Borgias and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 actor Colm Feore was cast as the Dollmaker (or in this case, Dr. Dulmacher) late last month, and based on the episode’s synopsis, he’s the one behind the creepy organ donation ring that Fish Mooney was recently caught up in, which makes sense considering he was attached to child smuggling earlier in the season as well.
Check out the new Gotham episode synopsis below, and be sure to tune in when “Everyone Has a Cobblepot” airs on March 2nd, 2015.

A little more than 15 years ago, Douglas Gorenstein was sitting at lunch with a friend, the actor Ellen Burstyn, when he told her he was dissatisfied with the direction his professional life was taking."I used to own a vintage-clothing company and was on the verge of opening a Manhattan store, but for some reason it wasn't feeling quite right," Gorenstein says. "I told her of my plans and doubts, to which she made a simple comment that changed the direction of my life: 'Doug, at heart you are a creative person, and creative people need creative ways to make a living.' Ellen's poignant advice led me to photography, and the rest, I guess you can say, is headshot history."Gorenstein has photographed actors such as Josh Sussman, Mindy Kaling, Michael J. Burg, Alana De La Garza, Seth Gabel, Jason Tam, Troy Metcalf, Jeff McCarthy, Tina Maddigan, and Natalie Cortez.

Here is the trailer and two posters for upcoming drama film The Good Heart, which stars Brian Cox (Adaptation., Troy, Zodiac, The Escapist) and Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood, Little Miss Sunshine).
Brian Cox stars as Jacques, the curmudgeonly owner of a gritty New York dive bar that serves as home to a motley assortment of professional drinkers. Jacques is determinedly drinking and smoking himself to death when he meets Lucas (Paul Dano), a homeless young man who has already given up on life. In the hopes of keeping his legacy alive, Jacques deems Lucas is a fitting heir and takes him under his wing, schooling him in the male—centric laws of his alcoholic clubhouse: no new customers, no fraternizing with customers and, absolutely no women. Lucas is a quick study, but their friendship is put to the test when the distraught and beautiful April (Isild Le Besco...
