We Are Who We Are is the best type of film experience, says the HBO limited series’ star Jack Dylan Grazer: voyeuristic. “[The] ignorance of any cameras anywhere or any equipment. It’s just spying on lives. You [can] capture it realistically. It’s that type of approach which allowed Oscar-nominated director Luca Guadagnino to document real human interactions and authentic expressions of love.
In that sense, Guadagnino said during the show’s panel at the virtual PaleyFest Fall TV Previews event, he hopes the audience can see themselves in the characters conducting their lives when the eight-part series premieres September 14 on HBO and HBO Max.
The coming-of-age story, from HBO and Sky Atlantic, centers on two American teenagers who, along with their military and civilian parents, are living on an American military base in Italy.

Updated: Academy Award-nominated “Call Me By Your Name” director Luca Guadagnino’s new series “We Are Who We Are” is heading to youth-skewing channel BBC Three in the U.K.
The HBO/Sky Italia co-production, which was acquired from distributor Fremantle, tells the story of two American kids who live on a U.S. military base in Italy. Jack Dylan Grazer stars as shy 14-year-old Fraser, who moves from New York to Veneto with his mothers, Sarah (Chloë Sevigny) and Maggie (Alice Braga), who are both in the U.S. Army.
Further cast includes Jordan Kristine Seamón, Spence Moore II, Kid Cudi, Faith Alabi, Francesca Scorsese, Ben Taylor, Corey Knight, Tom Mercier and Sebastiano Pigazzi.
Variety understands that while the project is technically a co-production with Sky, the pay TV operator only has exclusive rights for Italy. As such, BBC has picked up the exclusive U.K. premiere rights. The series premieres on HBO on Sept.

“Call Me By Your Name” filmmaker Luca Guadagnino is finally taking his talents to television with HBO’s “We Are Who We Are.” And based on the show’s first teaser, which dropped Monday, it’s going to be another untraditional love story told in Guadagnino’s beautiful fashion.
The eight-episode series is a story about two American kids who live on a U.S. military base in Italy and “explores friendship, first-love, identity, and immerses the audience in all the messy exhilaration and anguish of being a teenager – a story which could happen anywhere in the world, but in this case, happens in this little slice of America in Italy.”

Exclusive: Mum producer Big Talk and Ray Donovan writer Sean Conway are to adapt Tade Thompson’s African noir novel Making Wolf for television.
The ITV-owned producer and the British writer are working on a drama adaptation of the book, which will be published by Constable in paperback in May 2020.
The book, from Rosewater author Thompson, tells the story of Weston Kogi, a London security guard, who returns to his West African home country and thinks telling people he works as a homicide detective is harmless hyperbole. However, he is kidnapped and forced by two separate rebel factions to investigate the murder of a local hero, Papa Busi. Solving the crime may tip a country on the brink into civil war and cost Weston his life.

For over ninety years cinema has been catering to and exerting two of the five senses. Well mainly, since gimmicks like “Smell-o-Vision” and “Odorama”, used with the films Scent Of A Mystery and Polyester, never really connected with the film going public. They were cards that emitted aromas when a number was scratched (after prompting by seeing the number flash on-screen). I’m guessing certain fragrances didn’t mix well with concession treats. Well before that, The Jazz Singer introduced movie audiences to sound, allowing them to hear actors reciting lines rather than reading “title cards’ (along with sound effects and music). Now, instead of those cards, subtitles are run at the frame’s lower part for most foreign films (the subtitles help the “hearing impaired” watching films on home video). But how do film makers simulate the “point of view” of those “impaired’ or “challenged”? The wizards of sound mixing can manipulate the audio,...

Why do James (Jason Clarke) and his visually impaired wife Gina (Blake Lively) live in Bangkok? It’s a question that hangs over “All I See Is You,” begging to be asked. We know that James does insurance work somewhere in the Thai capital, but the way he brings it up in conversation makes it sound like an alibi. Usually film characters take jobs in far-flung destinations towards the end of the story, not before it starts. In truth the answer couldn’t be more obvious; it’s there the whole time, right in front of our faces, visible to everyone but Gina. Or maybe she sees it too, and — like us — simply doesn’t want to accept the fact that her doting husband moved her to a foreign city because of her debilitating blindness, and not in spite of it.

For a few years now, Blake Lively has been quietly doing really strong work. She’s quickly becoming incredibly underrated in Hollywood. Lively is just waiting for the right project to really break out, and her latest work in the independent film All I See Is You showcases her best performance to date. It opens this week and could even present her as a dark horse Best Actress candidate. The field is probably far too stacked to realistically get her in, but this is another hint that she’s going to be a force in the industry. A well deserved nomination could easily be in Lively’s future. The film is a character study with some thriller elements thrown in as well. Gina (Lively) lives with her husband James (Jason Clarke) in Bangkok. They’re there due to James’ work, though the experience is far different Gina. After all, she’s blind.

Blake Lively and Jason Clarke are already at the top of the cast, and now All I See Is You has another confirmed cast member. Yvonne Strahovski (24: Live Another Day, Dexter, Chuck) has joined Marc Forster's psychological drama.Forster wrote the script for this one with Sean Conway and it finds him back in the sort of brain-tickling thriller territory he explored with 2005’s Stay, rather than the blockbuster terrain of World War Z. All I See Is You involves Lively as a blind woman whose sight is restored. But while that would surely count as a reason for celebration, her repaired vision means she can now see all the undiscovered details about herself, her husband (Clarke), her marriage and their lives together. Strahovski will be playing Lively's best friend. She's probably best known at the moment for the TV credits we mentioned above, but she's also had feature experience in Killer Elite,...

This year we'll see Blake Lively stay perpetually young in The Age of Adaline, and Jason Clarke fight and army of machines in Terminator: Genisys. And next, the two will unite for something completely different for both of them. Deadline reports Lively and Clarke will star in All I See is You, a new psychological drama from World War Z and Quantum of Solace director Marc Forster. The filmmaker also wrote the script with Sean Conway and will produce along with Michael Shelby and Sc International Pictures along with Ron Perlman, by way of his own Wing and a Prayer productions, Jillian Kugler and Brian Wilkins. The story certainly sounds intriguing as it follows a blind woman and her husband who upon restoration of her sight begins to discover previously unseen and disturbing details about themselves, their marriage and their lives. That's a fairly vague conflict, but maybe it become a bit of a thriller?...

Having helmed the giant box office success of World War Z, the next big screen adventure for director Marc Forster is set to be something a little smaller, with independent film All I See Is You scheduled as his upcoming project. Characterized as a psychological thriller, the script has been written by Forster and Sean Conway (Ray Donovan), and has now attracted Blake Lively and Jason Clarke for the lead roles.
The film centres on a married couple – played by Lively and Clarke. The wife of the pair is visually impaired, but when her sight is restored, she and her husband begin to spot a variety of disturbing things about each other, themselves, their relationship and the life they built together.
Writer-director Marc Forster detailed his excitement to Variety in a recent statement:

Blake Lively and Jason Clarke are set to star in “World War Z” filmmaker Marc Forster‘s next film “All I See Is You,” it was announced Thursday by Michael Selby, president of Sc International Pictures, which is financing and producing the project.

He decided a while ago not to come back for another bout against the undead hordes with the World War Z sequel, but despite having several irons in the development fire, it would appear Marc Forster has locked in his next film. He’s signed up Blake Lively and Jason Clarke to star in All I See Is You.Forster wrote the script for this one with Sean Conway and it finds him back in the sort of brain-tickling thriller territory he explored with 2005’s Stay. All I See Is You will star Lively as a blind woman whose sight is restored. But while that would surely count as a reason for celebration, her repaired vision means she can now see all the undiscovered details about herself, her husband (Clarke), her marriage and their lives together. If she thinks that’s a problem, wait until he explains about the force...

A Boston transit police officer is credited with saving the life of a suicidal man by grabbing his arm and pulling him to safety just as he was about to teeter from a subway station platform onto the tracks. Detective Sean Conway says he saw the man, drinking from a bottle and yelling incoherently, at the platform's edge at the Park Street Station at about 2 p.m. Wednesday. Conway ran up one set of stairs and down another before snatching the man to safety and holding him down. Related: Authorities Use Social Media to Prevent N.Y.C. Bridge SuicideThe...

Ray Donovan, Season 1, Episode 10: “Fite Nite”
Written by: Sean Conway
Directed by: Tucker Gates
Airs Sundays at 10 Pm (Et) on Showtime
Few things are more frustrating than seeing a series make the same mistakes, week in and week out. Ray Donovan chugs along towards its eventual conclusion, and what plagued those early episodes continues to plague “Fite Nite.” There’s been no improvements on the weak characterization, poor pacing, poor plotting and the total absence of believable actions taken by these characters.
Sadly, it spells certain doom for the season’s last two episodes.
“Fite Nite,” ideally, contains the perfect way to mesh all these myriad stories together. Every Donovan is supposed to show up and support Daryll, and bringing them all into the same place gives us a simple physical bridge for all these deviating plots.

Ray Donovan, Season 1, Episode 5: “The Golem”
Written by: Sean Conway
Directed by: Dan Attias
Airs Sundays at 10 Pm (Et) on Showtime
This week’s Ray Donovan is dark, dismal and ultimately useless. For the past four episodes, the show has been two completely separate entities, but as the season creeps towards its eventual conclusion (we’re one episode from the halfway point) those two entities will be escalating in vastly different ways. Ray Donovan‘s thriller angle needs to push its pieces in place to set up big reveals, plot twists and dramatic payoffs. Its comedic side needs none of this. Comedies can (and often do) establish season-long arcs, but rarely do they need the kinds of intricacies inherent in a crime story.
“The Golem” is an episode that shoves the laughs bluntly out of the way to advance the story forward. In doing so, it makes it painfully...

"The lead character is a transsexual contract killer!"
This sounds like a movie pitch that would automatically be snapped up and subsequently made into one of the worst films of all time. The broadcast-network TV series that would be made from the same story idea doesn't even bear contemplating: The potential for leering exploitation and cheesy melodrama is just too extreme.
The accomplishment of the interesting "Hit and Miss" (premieres Wednesday, July 11 at 10 p.m. Et on DirecTV's Audience Network) is that it deftly navigates its minefield of a premise. The lead character, Mia (Chloe Sevigny) is indeed a coldly efficient killer, and she's also transgender, but first and foremost, she's a human being with flaws, an agenda and complex emotions that creator Paul Abbott ("Shameless," "State of Play") and writer Sean Conway spend a lot of time exploring. This show isn't about the premise, it's about the difficult person at the heart of it.

"It's a man's world" as the song goes, though Mia, played by Chloë Sevigny in the British series "Hit & Miss," is looking to change that. Sevigny (as you may guess from the way she adjusts her tuck) plays a pre-op transsexual hit person in the six-part show, which heads exclusively to DirecTV's Audience Network next month after premiering on Sky Atlantic. Created and written by Paul Abbott ("Shameless") and Sean Conway, "Hit & Miss" premieres in the U.S. on July 11 at 10pm Et/Pt, after the premiere of the final season of "Damages."...

Certainly, Chloe Sevigny -- who has movies like "Kids" and "The Brown Bunny" on her resumé -- has never shied away from risky or challenging roles, but unlike those aforementioned films, this latest endeavor might be for her most mainstream audience yet.
The actress will star in this summer's ambitious and somewhat odd "Hit & Miss" where she'll be playing a hitman who also happens to be a pre-op trans woman. Okay, then. Written by Sean Conway and directed by Hettie Macdolany, the story revolves around a transgender assassin who suddenly finds out that in her previous life, she has fathered several children. The show includes people who were behind the original U.K. versions of "Shameless" and "Skins," so they have a firm handle on how to be provocative, but "Hit & Miss," despite the somewhat out there premise, will apparently have much more accessible core about family and love.

Actress Chloë Sevigny is nothing if not a chameleon. A former New York club kid turned actress, Sevigny has shown a fondness for offbeat indie projects, such as Gummo and Demonlover, and mainstream fare like Shattered Glass and Big Love. But almost everything she's done so far has an edge to it, and her latest project is no different.
In the upcoming British series Hit and Miss, Sevigny plays a pre-op transsexual hitman…or is it hitwoman? Whatever. The series comes from Paul Abbott, creator of Shameless, the British series recently Americanized for Showtime. Variety reports that Hit and Miss "embraces such themes as family, sexual identity and murder" and was written by "short-film writer and director Sean Conway." The series, which is already filming in Manchester, England, will be directed by Hettie McDonald, a British television veteran who previously worked on shows including Doctor Who and Law & Order: UK.
