Atlanta season 2 is confirmed for 2018 and production is now underway. Atlanta fans eager for news on the much-anticipated second season of the FX hit will have to settle for Donald Glover’s vagueness. In a long and really great profile piece in THR, the only details Glover would spill on season two was that it needs to be “better” than the critically acclaimed season one. He then offered up this gem of a quote: “I don’t want to go into season two [with the mindset of] ‘Enough people liked it so just keep those people,’ ” he says, “because then you begin to give your audience a methadone drip of bullshit that keeps them happy as opposed to, ‘We did something controversial and more people were interested.'” The busy actor/rapper/writer/creator (let’s just call him artist, maybe?) is still shooting the Star Wars Han Solo spinoff, in which he plays a young Lando Calrissian, but production on Atlanta season 2 is reportedly set to begin in September. The decision to pick up Atlanta for a sophomore season was an easy one for FX. After developing the show for nearly three years, FX is clearly relieved to see that critics and fans agree: Atlanta is a hit. The series premiered to three million total viewers, making it FX’s highest comedy debut since 2011.

CANNES – ‘THE RACE OF LOVE’ arrives at the Marché du Film of the Cannes Film Festival. The film, a romance, is produced by Enrico Pinocci and directed by Alfio D’Agata, with an international cast: Ciara Hanna ( ‘Stars Fell On Alabama’, ‘Stars Fell Again’, ‘Power Rangers Megaforce’), Thomas Gipson (‘Love’s Fast Lane’, ‘Burning Little Lies’), Blanca Blanco (‘Eye for Eye’, ‘Betrayed’), Letizia Pinocci (‘Mission Possible’, ‘6 Children & 1 Grandfather’) and Harmony McElligott (‘You Can Do Better’,’ Life Whack’).

The protagonists of the film are James, who’s single by choice, and Judy, whose work makes her relationships difficult and complicated. After a series of coincidences that bring them together, and more than a few twists and turns, their hearts start to open to each other.

It was shot in Los Angeles and around the evocative racetracks of Vallelunga (the main location), Misano, Rio and Monte Carlo.

Thomas Gipson, Blanca Blanco, Letizia Pinocci, Vincenzo Bocciarelli and Romano Pigliacelli will be at the screening.
