    • COVID TESTING NOVEMBER 21ST OR 22ND (TBD)

     

    That’s when we can expect to see Season 3 episodes, according to comments from FX executive John Landgraf.

    He said in a recent interview that the comedy-drama’s third season just wrapped filming. That means Season 4 has begun shooting in earnest.

    Landgraf, speaking during the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, said, “We haven’t locked down the scheduling for Season 3 yet as it just finished shooting. It was shot primarily in Europe. It’s in post-production and it’s a lengthy post-production process and part of that is because they’re currently in production of Season 4 in Atlanta. All of the scripts for that season have been written.”

    Atlanta was a top-rated show featuring Donald Glover and Lakeith Stanfield. But filming never resumed after Glover lost his father.

    The series production team along with actors all are set to travel to Europe, where both Seasons 3 and 4 will reportedly be shot. Filming is expected to begin on April 5.

    When Will Atlanta FX Return? Read This

    So when will Atlanta return? Glover took to social media in April 2021 to say:

    “Atlanta Season 3 comes out probably the beginning of next year.”

    Glover made the comments in a random musing released on audio.

    The popular show began production in March 2021. Glover signed an eight-figure deal with Amazon that includes his own content channel on Prime.

    Both of the next two seasons are being filmed one after the next, which is something that they had planned to do even before the pandemic began.

    In early 2020, John Landgraf, chairman of FX Networks, spoke at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, California.

    Landgraf said that the next two seasons will debut in 2021. But not only, that he indicated that Seasons 3 and 4 will be linked as a “Part 1 & 2” arrangement.

    What we also know is that Season 3 will be 10 episodes and Season 4 will be eight episodes. If it’s going to be all part of one story arch, it makes sense that the seasons will be all shot in sequence.

    According to Esquire magazine, the show’s new seasons hint that they will focus on the music career of Paper Boi, played by the magnificent Brian Tyree Henry.

    Landgraf also tipped his hand to let us know that a large part of Seasons 3, 4 or both will be shot in a foreign country.

    What Has The AtlantaFX Cast Been Doing?

    It’s not like the cast members of AtlantaFX have been sitting on their thumbs. They have been getting busy, taking one project after another on the big and small screen.

  • She-Hulk movie: trailer, cast, release date

    She-Hulk Movie: Everything You Need To Know

    3 Min Read

    The new She-Hulk movie has wrapped production in Atlanta and a new trailer has been released. Over the past several months, we’ve been keeping you up to date with filming on the project, but there’s a lot more you should know.

    In this article, we’re going to go over everything we know about the She-Hulk movie, especially any Atlanta ties to it.

    When Will She-Hulk Be Released?

    The movie will stream on Disney+, but as for a release date, the company has not officially released a timeline other than to say it will be in 2022.

    Aside from She-Hulk, Disney+ is rounding out its offerings for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so you can expect some delays along the way.

    Where Was The She-Hulk Movie Filmed?

    She-Hulk was primarily filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, and Los Angeles, California. Both locations offered producers and actors a smorgasbord of options and resources for top-notch filmmaking.

    Disney+ prefers many of its projects to be produced in moviemaking hubs, so the locations made sense.

    Who Is Playing She-Hulk?

    The title role will be helmed by Tatiana Maslany, who will make for a lovely Jennifer Walters, an attorney with the mind of a scientist.

    What Cast Members Are In She-Hulk?

    Actresses Renée Elise Goldsberry and Ginger Gonzaga will also star in the MCU series.

    Mark Ruffalo, who has been The Hulk in the MCU, is confirmed to have an appearance in the series as well, although few details are known.

    Jessica Gao has signed on as writer of the series, while Anu Valia will direct and executive produce.

    Here is the trailer for the film,.

    Final Word

    She-Hulk figures to be a big part of Marvel’s Phase 4 production. If you live in Atlanta, you can literally get in on the action.

  • 4 Easy Steps To Become A Screenwriter In Atlanta

    4 Easy Steps To Become A Screenwriter

    5 Min Read

    One of the most important jobs in all of movies and TV is the screenwriter. The best films and TV shows come from great screenplays.

    Do you want to be a screenwriter? This article will show you the steps you need to take to become one.

    How To Become A Screenwriter

    In this article, we’re going to show you how to become a screenwriter in Atlanta so that your storytelling can make it to the big and small screen.

    AtlantaFi.com enlisted an expert, Tequoia Urbina, an Atlanta-based screenwriter and producer to help us break down the steps. She said she’s been doing video production since age 12 and has worked on various projects throughout her career.

    “I create stories with strong female protagonists and diverse characters,” she said. “I believe in weaving current events and global issues that will provoke discourse and inspire change.”

    If you want to do the same and become a screenwriter in Atlanta, here is a step-by-step process to make it happen:

    1. Get The Skills, Education & Know-How

    If you’re serious about becoming a screenwriter, you’ll want to devote the time, energy (and money) it takes to go to school for it.
    Urbina attended a performing and visual arts magnet school in Savannah, Georgia from the sixth through 11th grade. She then went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in film from Georgia State University in downtown Atlanta.

    She then earned her M.S. in Communications from Northeastern University.

    Once you graduate or have amassed the experience you think you need to be successful in screenwriting, it’s time to start coming up with a project to write.

    2. Write Your Project

    Make sure your storytelling skills express something you think is either sellable or you’re passionate about. Also, make sure you stick with a genre you’ve researched and are able to do well.

    Urbina said the #1 way to make your project a success is to make it unique.

    “BE ORIGINAL, the more unique your script, the more difficult to steal.”

    3. Make Connections / Network

    Your work is going to stand on its own merits, but it always helps to make some helpful connections along the way. Urbina said you should use your social media accounts to try to reach people that can help your project take off.

    “I use social media platforms to make industry connections,” she said. “I have found LinkedIn to be the most effective platform for connecting with people in the industry and forming businesses relationships. I also highly recommend joining industry groups and attending local networking events.”

    4. Get Your Screenplay Seen

    Now that you have this awesome screenplay, you may be wondering how the right person will read it. This is where you find ways to get it out there.

    “The best way to have screenplays read is to submit them to competitions,” Urbina said. “I advise that you use recognized sites like Blacklist and Coverfly for details on legitimate contests.”

    Of course, you can always go the DIY route to get your film before the masses. Here’s what Urbina said about that:

    “If you have a budget, film your project and promote it on social media.”

    Urbina said that many contests offer critique on submissions for an extra fee. “It is a great way to get objective feedback on your scripts and possibly the attention of industry professionals.”

    If you follow these steps, you will have a great chance of becoming a successful screenwriting career in Atlanta. But don’t think it happens overnight.

    Urbina said the process can be long or relatively short, depending on many factors. “There is no specific time frame. All contests have their own processing rate.”

    #1 Thing To Remember As You Submit Screenplays

    Urbina said the #1 thing you can do is protect your original work.

    “The best advice that I can offer is to always copyright your work before submitting or sharing,” she said. “Also, don’t be afraid to send off your work for fear of someone stealing your idea. Yes, it is a risk but it is worth it if it lands in the right hands.”

    Atlanta has become a movie mecca in recent years and Georgia has been a favorite location for TV productions since the state instituted generous tax breaks for film companies that agree to shoot locally. Projects from CBS, NBC, HBO, BET and more are slated to shoot in the metro area in 2018-19 and the foreseeable future.

    With more than 700 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.

    Marvel’s Phase 4 Production Schedule: What You Need To Know

    6 Min Read

    Are you ready for Black Panther 2 and the other superhero movies coming soon? Marvel Studios has previewed its production schedule through the next couple years, with many of the big-name projects expected to be filmed in Atlanta.

    Disney and its streaming service Disney+ figures to play a key role in many of the productions, which have already been spotted filming around Atlanta.

    Disney’s plans also involve Fox and Pixar, but a whole lot of Marvel. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic happened, pushing back mostly everything.

    To understand how production schedules coincide with Atlanta, we first have to gather a keen knowledge of Marvel’s “Phase 4.”

    What Is Marvel’s Phase 4?

    Marvel’s Phase 4 refers to all of the Marvel Studios productions that will be released in the three-year period beginning with 2021 and ending in 2023.

    Here’s a video Marvel Studios released on May 3 that previews what’s coming down the pike over the next couple years.

    Phase 4 began on the small screen with the release of WandaVision and will start on the big screen with Black Widow in summer 2021.

    Marvel Studios’ Phase 4 comes on the heels of the most successful run in the company’s history: Phase 3. That phase saw such tentpole titles of Endgame, Thor: Ragnorok, Captain American: Civil War and Black Panther.

    Here’s What To Know About Marvel Production Dates In Atlanta

    The success of WandaVision has shown Disney that it can score with a tentpole title in the streaming space, but the cinematic experience continues to be the ideal way to show a movie.

    The beloved Marvel franchise was perhaps hardest hit because many of the movies are dependent on others. We’ll have to see how it pans out.

    Disney as well as Marvel is making a concerted effort to include more representations of people of color. And it will only get better through the years.

    Right on the heels of WandaVision, the MCU jumps right back into the action with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which follows the events in Endgame.

    The majority of the scenes from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier were filmed in metro Atlanta, specifically at Trilith Studios in Fayetteville just outside Georgia’s largest city.

    If you remember, 2020 was supposed to kick off with “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” But it, like most titles, was delayed. when it does debut, it will be Marvel’s first Asian-American led superhero film.

    With more than 700 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.
