#TheMediaFront: As “Predators” — which is now playing in select theaters — makes clear, while it’s difficult to have even an ounce of sympathy toward the men involved, there’s nevertheless something unsettling about positioning those encounters as entertainment — capturing people at the moment they realize their lives are going to be irrevocably ruined.

#TheMediaFront: If there’s a bright side, Coker sees it in Coogler and “Get Out” Oscar winner Jordan Peele having joined an elite club of filmmakers who have earned creative freedom through their commercial clout, which will potentially benefit other Black talent.
“They’ll stop second, third and fourth-guessing his instincts about things,” Coker said. “In the current parlance, let him cook. What it means for Black filmmakers is it’s going to give some hope and influence to really try and go for it. When you see the success of Ryan and Jordan Peele, it makes you want to try different things.”

#TheMediaFront: Writer-director Ryan Coogler’s period horror film has provided a welcome spring surge for Hollywood. Yet the tentative responses to its initial results missed the enthusiasm that greeted its arrival, particularly within the Black community, which both over-indexes in terms of movie attendance and is underrepresented in media jobs.

#TheMediaFront: When “Sinners” opened to very good if not overwhelming box office numbers, the film’s performance elicited several skeptical reactions from the entertainment press. In doing so, those outlets and their industry sources might have made a case for the value of diversity, at a time when DEI efforts at media companies have come under siege by the Trump administration.

#TheMediaFront: Is it possible to interview Trump well? Perhaps not, and Shafer was right about his style “destroying” a TV institution. Yet there are strategies, some dos and don’ts, that provide guardrails in seeking to rein in Trump’s barrage of verbiage.

#TheMediaFront: ABC News’ Terry Moran was the latest to attempt to puncture that bubble, in a special broadcast Tuesday night, amid a series of interviews with Time, The Atlantic and NewsNation. Despite efforts to keep the interview on course, he succeeded fitfully at best, and fell victim to one common Trump-interviewing misstep.

#TheMediaFront: President Trump’s media blitz for the 100-day mark in his second term punctuates what has been true for some time: Interviewing Trump remains among the toughest gigs in media, one that has flummoxed TV journalists for years.

#TheMediaFront: The journalists operating under the umbrella of studios, meanwhile, face a more basic set of concerns, fueling apprehensions about the hoops through which they might be forced to jump to satisfy Trump, the impact that will have on their already dwindling jobs and the lengths to which their corporate bosses will go to make that happen — precisely the scenario playing out practically in plain view regarding CBS News and “60 Minutes.”

#TheMediaFront: MSNBC and CNN have been frequent targets of such all-caps tirades, and Trump expressed his belief during a speech at the Justice Department in March that negative reporting about him by those networks is “totally illegal” and “corrupt.”

#TheMediaFront: Days after President #DonaldTrump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav expressed enthusiasm about a new administration potentially creating greater “opportunity for consolidation” that would “provide a real positive and accelerated impact on this industry that’s needed.”

#TheMediaFront: In the weeks since Trump began to actually pursue his tariff agenda, others have wondered aloud about Lucas having seen the future, with headlines like “How ‘The Phantom Menace’s’ Trade Wars Can Help You Understand Our Political Moment” and “Trade Wars, Episode I: The Phantom Menace” in The Guardian and National Review, respectively — the latter of which asked, “How did George Lucas of all people see this one coming?”

#TheMediaFront: In one podcast interview, Lucas cited having observed Richard Nixon during the Vietnam era as inspiration, which “got me to thinking about how democracies turn into dictatorships — not how they’re taken over … but how the democracy turns itself over to a tyrant.”

#TheMediaFront: Yet as the 20th anniversary of climactic chapter “Revenge of the Sith” nears (marked by its return to theaters), those aspects resonate differently amid President Donald Trump’s tariff-induced trade crisis and rising authoritarianism — cause to wonder whether everyone owes George Lucas an apology for turning “Star Wars” into “Trade Wars.”

#TheMediaFront: Critics weren’t kind when the “Star Wars” prequel trilogy first hit theaters, deriding not just the silliness of Jar Jar Binks but a plot that constructed a science-fiction epic around, of all things, an intergalactic trade dispute and the political mechanics of a republic imploding from within.
