On Wednesday, Apple TV+ announced the premiere date and shared a first-look photo from “Lady in the Lake,” a seven-episode limited drama series starring and executive produced by Academy Award winner Natalie Portman the streamer describes as “a feverish noir thriller and an unexpected tale of the price women pay for their dreams.”
The series is based on a 2019 novel by bestselling mystery author Laura Lippman. It’s set in late-1960s Baltimore and follows two women from different communities who become linked by a missing girl.
Portman plays Maddie Schwartz, a Jewish housewife seeking to shed a secret past and reinvent herself as an investigative journalist. Moses Ingram (Emmy nominee for “The Queen’s Gambit”) is Cleo Sherwood, a mother navigating the political underbelly of Black Baltimore while struggling to provide for her family.
In Maddie’s timeline, Cleo is deceased, and Maddie becomes obsessed with untangling the strange circumstances of her death.

Apple TV+’s highly anticipated adaptation of Laura Lippman’s mystery novel “Lady in the Lake” — starring Natalie Portman — will premiere with the first two episodes on July 19, the streamer announced Wednesday.
The seven-part limited series follows a bored Jewish housewife (Portman) in the 1960s, who divorces her husband and moves to Baltimore to work as an investigative journalist. She soon becomes fixated on the perplexing death of Cleo Johnson (Moses Ingram), a mother who struggled to provide for her family while navigating the political underbelly of Black Baltimore.
The book was brought to famed director Alma Har’el by the late Jean-Marc Vallée and his producing partner, Nathan Ross; she jumped at the chance to adapt the complex novel, which has made headlines since its straight-to-series pickup three years ago.

WME Adaptation Authorities on the IP Frenzy, a Department Shift and What’s In (and Out) in Hollywood
Hilary Zaitz Michael was Sylvie Rabineau’s first hire once her literary agency, Rabineau Wachter Sanford & Gillett, was acquired by WME eight years ago. In the years since, the two, along with partner Jill Holwager Gillett and a department that’s since expanded to 11 agents, have had a front row seat to Hollywood’s intellectual property boom, which only accelerated during the pandemic.
In fact, in the last year alone, their roster has kept them inordinately busy, from Laura Lippman’s Prom Mom and Rebecca Serle’s One Italian Summer being optioned by Universal and Paramount, respectively, to Laura Dave (The Last Thing He Told Me) and Bryan Lee O’Malley (Scott Pilgrim Takes Off) adapting their own material. The breadth of their work also prompted a rebranding of what was formerly the literary packaging department, and now is the literary media one.

UCP has optioned Laura Lippman’s new upcoming novel “Prom Mom,” Variety has learned exclusively.
“It’s exciting to know that readers already are responding so enthusiastically to ‘Prom Mom,’ which was partly inspired by and very much formed by the strange, dark early days of the pandemic,” said Lippman. “I’ve always been fascinated by — and terrified of — people who believe absolutely in their own goodness, and ‘Prom Mom’ gave me a chance to explore just how far such people might go in pursuit of their own happiness, no matter the cost to others.”
The news comes one day ahead of the novel’s release on July 25. No network or streamer is currently attached, nor is there currently a writer set to adapt the book due to the ongoing writers’ strike.

Ah! There’s the cork. The tour through Chez Goodman that began Season 6 rounded out with a lingering shot of a wayward Zafiro Añejo bottle topper, tantalizingly vague about how that hunk of metal tied into the fates of Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) and Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn). In “Axe and Grind,” we get a tiny hint about whether that cork was one already kept in triumph or one kept as a reminder of a massive regret. While Jimmy’s purchase of celebratory tequila is undoubtedly premature, it is a nice full-circle moment as we head toward next week’s midseason finale. Kim and Jimmy aren’t the only ones who’ve been working to lay the groundwork for a big day.

In the wake of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ announcement of a slate of award nominees for this year’s Oscars that is once again overwhelmingly Caucasian and significantly male – a decision that inspired the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag just five years ago – one of the biggest names in popular literature is drawing criticism for defending the homogeneity of this year’s nominees.
In a pair of tweets shared yesterday morning, horror novelist Stephen King, whose own works have been adapted to film with varying degrees of success, said:
“As a writer, I am allowed to nominate in just 3 categories: Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Screenplay. For me, the diversity issue–as it applies to individual actors and directors, anyway–did not come up. That said… / I would never consider diversity in matters of art. Only quality. It seems to me that to do otherwise would be wrong.

His goal, he explained, was "to write in Kitchenese, the secret language of cooks, instantly recognizable to anyone who has ever dunked french fries for a summer job or suffered the despotic rule of a tyrannical chef or boobish owner."
He was a terrific chef but not a generational talent like many of his celebrity chef peers – "I have...
