Of course the Pogues aren’t just going to celebrate a win and be content to lead normal lives. If that were true, there wouldn’t be much to Outer Banks season four. The teaser for the upcoming season warns that they’ve got everything to lose and promises this will be their biggest adventure to date.
“Following last season’s 18-month flash-forward showing Wes Genrette’s proposal for the Pogues to find Blackbeard’s treasure, Season 4 takes us back in time to the lead-up of that moment. After finding the gold at El Dorado, the Pogues return to the Obx and commit to having a ‘normal’ life. They’ve built themselves a new safe haven, officially dubbed Poguelandia 2.0, where they live together and run a fairly successful bait, tackle, and charter tour shop,” reads Netflix’s synopsis.

“Outer Banks” is about to embark on its biggest adventure to date: finding Blackbeard’s treasure. And Netflix has shared a first teaser and several first look images to celebrate the occasion.
The fourth season of the Netflix original will premiere its first five episodes on Oct. 10 followed by five more episodes on Nov. 7.
Season 3 ended with a flash-forward 18 months into the future that showed the Pogues being commended for finding El Dorado, the lost city of gold. In that season’s final moments, a man approached the friends and asked them if they would be interested in finding the lost treasure of Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard. But Season 4 will start before the tempting offer. Watch the first teaser below.
After El Dorado, John B (Chase Stokes), Sarah (Madelyn Cline), Kiara (Madison Bailey), Pope (Jonathan Daviss), JJ (Rudy Pankow) and Cleo (Carlacia Grant) return to North Carolina and try to settle into a “normal” life.

Angel Heart: Sauvaire Serves Savior Complex in Ems Thriller
“It’s easier with wings than without,” was the tagline for Wim Wenders’ 1987 film Wings of Desire, which could easily have been borrowed for Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire’s fourth feature, Asphalt City. Based on the 2008 novel by Shannon Burke, Ben Mac Brown and Ryan King, both making their screenwriting debut, make the rookie mistake of not trusting their audience well enough to discern its key themes and motifs.

Plot: Asphalt City follows Ollie Cross, a young paramedic assigned to the NYC night shift with an uncompromising and seasoned partner Gene Rutkovsky. The dark nights reveal a city in crisis; Rutkovsky guides Cross, as each 911 call is often dangerous and uncertain, putting their lives on the line every day to help others. Cross soon discovers firsthand the chaos and awe of a job that careens from harrowing to heartfelt, testing his relationship with Rutkovsky and the ethical ambiguity that can be the difference between life and death.
Review: Stories about first responders, specifically EMTs, are often material depicted on small-screen procedurals and dramas like 9-1-1 and Chicago Med.

Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire’s Asphalt City was originally titled Black Flies, after the Shannon Burke novel from which it’s adapted, when it premiered last year at Cannes. For a film about the difficult situations that E.M.T. workers have to deal with on New York City’s streets, Asphalt City has an appropriate directness. But it’s Black Flies that more accurately reflects the film’s lurid register. It’s a reference to an encounter that rookie E.M.T. worker Ollie Cross (Tye Sheridan) has on the job that echoes a childhood trauma, but the way the filmmakers shoot the moment, it’s as if they’re touting their belief in New York as a rotted corpse.
Regardless of what it goes by, the film reveals its agenda from the moment that Ollie walks to a crime scene in the projects and the herky-jerky camera approximates his addled consciousness. Gene...

Power never ends.
We've known that to be true for a while. And when one season ends, typically, another is right around the corner.
With Power Book II: Ghost Season 3 and Power Book IV: Force Season 2 bowing in 2023, there is just one missing from the pack. Luckily, we got some excellent news about fan-favorite Power Book III: Raising Kanan and when we'll see it back on our screens.
The anticipation is high for the spinoff, which left off with a bloody battle that has the potential to reset allegiances and change the relationship dynamics forever, especially between Raq and Kanan.
When we spoke to showrunner Sascha Penn at the end of Power Book IV: Raising Kanan Season 2, he talked about Raq and Kanan's relationship, telling us, "I think that their relationship is more fractured than it's ever been at the end.

Dealing with the underbelly of New York city through the exploits of a paramedics team, this slick thriller makes for unsettling and unpleasant viewing.
Helmed by French director Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire, it works the same territory of the likes of Taxi Driver and other exposés of crime and grime in the Big Apple.
Sean Penn and Tye Sheridan make a contrasted couple of paramedics for whom blood and gore and much more besides are part of the daily grind as they try to save multiple lives.
Penn plays the grizzled veteran racing around the city in attempt to save the afflicted, with the knowledge that few of them are likely to survive. Sheridan plays the young rookie who signs on for the roller coaster to help to pay his rent.
The script is based on a novel by Shannon Burke which appeared in 2008. The original setting was Harlem in the 1990s but it.

Sean Penn was unambiguous about where his allegiances lie when asked for his take on the ongoing Hollywood writers’ strike during the Cannes Film Festival press conference for Black Flies, the visceral paramedic action drama in which he stars opposite Tye Sheridan and Michael Pitt.
“The industry has been upending the writers and directors for a long time,” the actor said when asked by a journalist to weigh in on the WGA strike. “I fully support the situation with the writers, of course.”
“There’s a lot of new concepts being tossed about including the use of AI,” he continued. “It strikes me as a human obscenity for a pushback on that from producers.”
Penn then quipped that the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), the coalition of Hollywood studios and streamers that negotiates with labor unions, should be renamed “the bankers’ guild.” (Penn actually said “producers guild...

Sean Penn is standing in solidarity with the WGA, whose members are currently on strike to fight for better wages and work conditions in the streaming era.
“The industry has been upending the writers, actors and directors for a very, very long time,” Penn said during Friday’s press conference for his latest movie “Black Flies,” which debuted in competition at the Cannes Film Festival. “My full support is with the writers guild. There are a lot of new concepts that are being tossed about, including the use of AI. And it just strikes me as human obscenity that there’s been a pushback [from the studios] on that.”

Sean Penn, Tye Sheridan and Michael Pitt breezed into Cannes’ beachside La Môme Plage Thursday evening for a glitzy cocktail reception toasting the world premiere of French phenom Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire’s Black Flies, a viscerally immersive action drama about the lives of New York City paramedics. The black-tie bash, which was co-hosted by The Hollywood Reporter and Tage Studios, drew a lively crowd of producers, press and Cannes glitterati.
Produced by Warren Goz (Copshop), Eric Gold (Copshop), Penn and Sheridan, Black Flies is directed by Sauvaire — whose previous Thai prison boxing drama A Prayer Before Dawn (2017) has become something of a cult favorite — from a script by Ben Mac Brown and Ryan King (The Tutor), based on Shannon Burke’s novel.

It’s probably instructive to go into “Black Flies” knowing that the title comes from insects that can smell death before we can, and that show up on screen swarming a dead, rotting body in a bathtub.
And it might help to know that the drone that gradually surfaces under the hysterical opening scene resolves itself into the overture to “Das Rheingold,” which returns at the end of the film. “Black Flies” is darkness and chaos on an operatic scale – maybe even a Wagnerian scale, though viewers may feel as if they’ve been assaulted by heavy metal rather than immersed in the warring gods of the Ring cycle.
Screening in the Main Competition at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, “Black Flies” is visceral and vicious. It is directed by French-born, New York-based Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire with an eye for the worst squalor NYC has to offer, and edited to be the...

Fresh-faced rookie Tye Sheridan is led through a world of medical grimness by a grizzled Penn in a tale full of lifeless cliche
There are some strident cliches alongside redundant self-harming machismo in this sub-Schraderesque movie about New York paramedics, directed by Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire and adapted from the novel by Shannon Burke. Sirens screaming and faces emoting, they battle through another dark-night-of-the-soul as they deal with gang shootings, domestic assaults, homeless people dying and crack addicts giving birth in hovels. They are often assigned the futile chore of attending to corpses discovered in decaying buildings, surrounded by black flies – but aren’t all the other patients just corpses in waiting? And so the black flies of horror start buzzing into their brains.
Tye Sheridan co-stars as Ollie, the standard-issue Hollywood rookie, a fresh-faced young ambulance guy from Colorado (of all the poignantly innocent places) paired in time-honoured style with a grizzled old-timer.

Beware of black flies, they are the first to smell death. That is what rookie Fdny paramedic Ollie Cross is told by a colleague as he ventures into an abandoned apartment where a swarm is buzzing around a decaying dead body in a bathtub. It is clearly a metaphor for the job of first responders like Ollie and his partner Gene Rutkowsky who are also the first to “smell death,” repeatedly, on a job that takes its toll not just on those in need of medical help, but also on those who provide it.
Premiering in competition Thursday at the Cannes Film Festival, Black Flies stars Sean Penn as a grizzled veteran paramedic known as “Rut” now on the nighttime beat with rookie partner Cross, played with conviction by Tye Sheridan, as they answer the call in the largely rundown neighborhood of Brownsville in Brooklyn.

Director Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire spent more than a year in the back of ambulances, shuttling from one gruesome trauma to the next, as he shadowed EMTs in New York City to prepare for his new movie “Black Flies.”
“This immersive approach is crucial,” Sauvaire tells Variety over Zoom, a week before he travels to the South of France to premiere “Black Flies” in competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. “If you don’t really know the reality of this job, it’s difficult to recreate it.”
Adapted from Shannon Burke’s 2008 novel, the story follows Tye Sheridan as young paramedic Ollie Cross, who dreams of going to medical school. But he struggles to study as he is thrust into the intense and mentally taxing work of responding to emergency calls in Brooklyn. Sean Penn plays a hardened veteran, who teaches Ollie the ropes as they drive through New York City.

Catherine Corsini’s Le Retour has landed a Cannes competition slot after apparent complaints about the filmmaker, while Sean Penn starrer Black Flies by director Jean-Stehane Sauvair will also compete, festival organizers said on Monday.
A berth for Le Retour in Cannes had been put on hold while festival organizers took note of alleged events that took place during the filming of the French film. Fest organizers had no comment on the addition of Corsini’s film beyond a short announcement.
Le Retour, which stars Virgini Ledoyen, portrays a woman who works for a wealthy Parisian family who offers her the opportunity to take care of their children for a summer in Corsica. That’s an opportunity for her to return with her daughters, Jessica and Farah, to the island they left 15 years earlier in tragic circumstances.
Sauvaire’s paramedic thriller Black Flies also stars Tye Sheridan, Katherine Waterston, Michael Pitt and Mike Tyson.

Netflix’s teen drama Outer Banks is back for its third season. And although there are many burning questions that need to be answered, we can’t help but just be excited to see our favorite familiar faces again. We know that John B (Chase Stokes), Pope (Jonathon Daviss), JJ (Rudy Pankow), Kiara (Madison Bailey), Sarah (Madelyn Cline), and Cleo (Carlacia Grant) will take us, once again, on a legendary treasure hunt. Plus, we already know that the drama will be back for a fourth season — it was renewed days before the third even dropped, at the streaming service’s Poguelandia, a fan-fueled immersive music event — which makes it a bit easier knowing we have to wait, once again, for new episodes and adventures. Co-creators, showrunners, and executive producers Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke said at the time, “Seeing Poguelandia come to life was nothing short of spectacular.
