Reportedly, Sebastian Stan clocks in at 6 feet tall, comparable with 6-foot-2 Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, whom the actor plays in Pam & Tommy. Co-star Lily James hits 5-foot-7 in flats, which corresponds with Pamela Anderson. But, via extensive research, Pam & Tommy costume designer Kameron Lennox determined that Anderson’s documented height may be with her trademark 4-inch heels on.
In the Hulu limited series (nominated for an Emmy for outstanding contemporary costumes), James often wore Anderson-style high heels, such as for an incognito trip to the library to access the nascent internet, where her Christian Louboutin boots (a take on Uggs) brought James near Stan’s height. But, in the preceding scene, shot from the waist up, James actually stood flat-foot for a tension-filled conversation with Stan as the hotheaded Tommy. “It was so important that [Pam] felt smaller, like she’s vulnerable,...

To get the right look for “Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty,” airing every Sunday at 9 p.m. Et on HBO, practice really did make perfect.
For the series, which traces the professional and personal lives of the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson-led team that won five NBA championships during the 1980s, costume designer Emma Potter started breaking down the squad’s look by studying its practice uniforms.
“What was exciting was seeing how the purples didn’t match, or in one session someone would be wearing shorts from two seasons back, and another had his number written on with a Sharpie,” says Potter, who aimed to capture that energy and fun in her designs. “In a way, it felt like things were more hands-on and thrown together.”
Unlike today, when uniform lists for the season are available online in a regimented system, the ’80s were more free-form.

HBO contends at the 2021 Emmy Awards with their reboot of “Perry Mason” that features Emmy Award winner Matthew Rhys from “The Americans” portraying the iconic defense attorney, opposite other Emmy-winning actors starring in single-season roles. The legal drama from the Team Downey production company was a commercial hit upon its debut last summer and its premium cable broadcaster quickly renewed the eight-episode serial beyond its initial “limited series” order.
SEEthe Emmy track record of the original.
Rhys received Best Drama Actor nominations at the Critics Choice, Golden Globe and Satellite Awards early this year, with Critics Choice also citing the show itself in their Best Drama Series lineup. The period piece picked up industry-voted nominations from the American Society of Cinematographers, Art Directors Guild and Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Guild, as well as its first win courtesy of the Location Managers Guild International.

HBO’s thoughtful “Perry Mason” smoothly reimagined the titular gumshoe amid a 1930s Los Angeles backdrop but also smartly configured the women in his universe as a vital force in the narrative and in many cases set the various revelations in motion.
Perry’s (Matthew Rhys) dogged pursuit of the truth, with his sharp cohort Della (Juliet Rylance) by his side, is centered on a landmark child-kidnapping trial in which a young mother (Gayle Rankin) finds herself at the heart of a Los Angeles-based tug-of-war involving politicians, police and even a mother-daughter pair of evangelicals (Lili Taylor and Tatiana Maslany).
“Women didn’t have the same kind of luxury in this essentially man’s world of the 1930s and struggled to be taken seriously,” said series costumer designer Emma Potter, who also worked on the same network’s anthology series “True Detective,” a show with similar themes. “I remembered reading...

There were “two things that struck” costume designer Emma Potter about the “Perry Mason” reboot on HBO, she reveals in her exclusive interview with Gold Derby about working on the Los Angeles period piece (watch the video above). She continues, “This idea that he’s somewhat disheveled all the time was something that I was interested in and also the idea that the city really needed to be its own character and we would need to go in with these background moments and really kind of pick out people and pay attention to them in almost a heightened way, so that you could go through and see what this person is that’s walking by on the street or in the crowd at the courtroom and get a sense of who they are, where they’re from and why they might have ended up here.”

Curated by the IndieWire Crafts team, Craft Considerations is a platform for filmmakers to talk about recent work that we believe is worthy of awards consideration. In partnership with HBO, for this edition we look at the creation of “Perry Mason” with executive producer and director Tim Van Patten, costume designer Emma Potter, and composer Terence Blanchard.
Terence Blanchard grew up watching the original “Perry Mason” series with his father. When the composer began working on HBO’s “Perry Mason” reboot, he was struck by creators Ron Fitzgerald and Rolin Jones’ new origin story for Perry (Matthew Rhys).
“I remember when I finally started to see something from the show, I was just totally blown away,” said Blanchard. “Immediately, I started telling people, ‘This is not your daddy’s ‘Perry Mason,’ this is something else.’”
From exploring how a downtrodden Perry was haunted by the war, or showing how a...

On HBO’s new miniseries Perry Mason, wildly contrasting aspects of 1930s Los Angeles are spotlighted by differences in costume. “With the Great Depression happening and also with the movie industry happening, there was this strange juxtaposition in the city,” says Emma Potter, costume designer of the series, which stars Matthew Rhys as the famed private investigator. “We capture all of that, from a New Year’s Eve gala in a Hollywood studio to seeing people with nothing who migrating to the city from other states looking for work.”

Stephen Dorff admits that when he first auditioned for the third season of “True Detective,” he “didn’t know what the part really was.” What at first seemed to be a straight-forwarded cop character quickly became so much more as the anthology crime story moved between three different decades, requiring some of the actors, including Dorff and his on-screen partner in policing, Mahershala Ali, to sit in the hair and makeup chair for hours to be turned into older versions of themselves.
But because Dorff says he got a “natural feeling” for who is Detective Roland West was supposed to be internally from those first few scenes, he quickly realized “what a great role I had.” And as the months since the show wrapped went on, Dorff realized he loved Roland so much, he didn’t want to fully shake the man. His next small screen series, “Deputy,” also sees him playing a “horseman lawman,...

Creed continues to be a box office success and a favorite with audiences and critics. Globally Ryan Coogler’s film has passed the $100 million mark since its initial opening this fall.
The film reunites Coogler with his Fruitvale Station star Michael B. Jordan as the son of Apollo Creed, and explores a new chapter in the Rocky story, starring Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone in his iconic role.
For the director, there was no question that Creed would be set in Philadelphia, where it all began. And for the filmmakers, there was no doubt that principal photography would be accomplished there as well. In order to bridge the two films artistically, Coogler brought together the talented creative team of costume designers Emma Potter (“Song One”) and Antoinette Messam (“Orphan”) and his “Fruitvale Station” team: editors Michael P. Shawver and Claudia Castello; production designer Hannah Beachler; and composer Ludwig Goransson.

While at the 2013 SXSW Film Festival, Dread Central had the opportunity to sit down and chat with You're Next filmmaker Adam Wingard the day after the film's hugely successful first screening in Austin.
Written by Simon Barrett, You're Next (review) centers around a family reunion gone horribly awry after the family becomes targeted by masked murderers who crash the party. As it turns out, their only hope to make it out alive is Erin (Sharni Vinson), the Australian girlfriend to one of the family's sons whose experience living as a survivalist in the Outback turns out to be very handy against the mysterious killers who will stop at nothing until everyone is dead.
You're Next also stars Aj Bowen, Barbara Crampton, Joe Swanberg, Wendy Glenn, Ti West and Amy Seimetz and will be arriving in theaters August 23rd courtesy of Lionsgate.
