Feature: Austin Cross Talks To Jude Law About His Transformation For New Film ‘Firebrand’
In the new film ‘Firebrand,’ viewers are transported to a more than 500-year-old story, at a time when King Henry VIII ruled England and kept that authoritative approach to his marriages as well. In the case of ‘Firebrand’ we find an older King Henry VIII in his marriage to his sixth wife, Katherine Parr; Parr endures the loss of a friend at the hands of Henry VIII and fights to have control in her relationship. Given the tyrannical nature of King Henry VII, it meant that actor Jude Law had a lot to consider when portraying the royal on the silver screen. So today on FilmWeek, guest host Austin Cross talks to Law about what went into the transformation.

Feature: Director Ron Howard Talks Latest Documentary ‘Jim Henson: Idea Man’
From his puppeteering days to viewers of a local D.C. TV station to global audiences theatrically, if you weren’t able to remember Jim Henson’s face you certainly recognized his zany muppets. A new documentary from Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard, titled “Jim Henson: Idea Man,” chronologically goes through Henson’s life’s work and how closely tied his loved ones were to projects like “Sesame Street” and his 1986 feature “Labyrinth.” For this week’s FilmWeek feature, Larry talks to Howard about his new documentary and how he looked to capture Henson’s life by talking to those closest to him still living.
‘Jim Henson: Idea Man’ is now available to stream on Disney+.
