Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaCameras are set to roll in the Big Apple again. Film and television production in New York City can resume on July 20, Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a news conference on Friday.

The restrictions of shooting were part of a city-wide shutdown in March — a period of time in which the city became the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic.

Cases have since dropped dramatically. Hospitalizations from COVID-19 dropped to their lowest levels in four months this week.

The resumption of film production is part of New York City’s Phase 4 re-opening. As part of that loosening of restrictions, the city can host professional sports events provided there are no fans, as well as higher education classes.

‘Radioactive’ Director Marjane Satrapi on Hollywood Sexism: ‘I’m Allowed to Be Pissed’

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaMarie Curie’s barrier-breaking work as a physicist and chemist has inspired countless movies, plays and books over the years. But Marjane Satrapi, the director of “Radioactive,” a new film about Curie’s life and career, wasn’t interested in telling a conventional story of birth-to-death hagiography. Satrapi, Oscar nominated for her 2007 animated film “Persepolis,” has made a movie that’s equally engaged with the consequences of Curie’s pioneering work in isolating radioactive isotopes and her discovery of polonium and radium.

‘Tenet’ Likely to Be Delayed Again Because of Coronavirus Surge, Analyst Predicts

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaIf movie theaters are banking on Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” to ride to their rescue, they may have to wait a lot longer for help.That’s the takeaway from a new note by Eric Handler, a leading exhibition industry analyst with MKM Partners, who predicts that there’s a “low likelihood” that “Tenet” will open on Aug. 12 as planned because of the rising number of COVID-19 cases in such major markets as Texas, Florida, and California.Handler also cites the “slowed re-opening of the New York City economy” as another reason Nolan’s latest epic will likely be delayed again (it has already moved twice).
