Self Esteem Edition: Bits & Pieces

Self Esteem Edition: Bits & Pieces – Today, Apple TV+ unveiled the trailer for “Murderbot,” the highly anticipated comedic thriller series starring and executive produced by Emmy Award winner Alexander Skarsgård and hailing from Academy Award nominees Chris and Paul Weitz. The ten-episode series will premiere globally on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on Friday, May 16, 2025, followed by new episodes every Friday through July 11.

IN CAMERA follows Aden – played by Rizwan – a young actor who is in a cycle of nightmarish auditions. After he receives multiple rejections, Aden takes it upon himself to find a new part to play. Rizwan was previously named as a Screen Star of Tomorrow in 2019; recognition shared by BAFTA-winning Amir El-Masry (2021)  who also stars in the film, and writer-director Naqqash Khalid (2020). Formally playful and fiercely charged, Naqqash Khalid’s debut about a struggling British Asian actor confronts film industry prejudice and social hypocrisy head-on.

Apple TV+ is thrilled to share a sneak peek clip from the series premiere of “Your Friends & Neighbours,” starring and executive produced by Jon Hamm. The highly anticipated drama series, which has received an early season two renewal, will premiere globally on Friday, April 11 on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes, followed by one episode weekly through May 30.



Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award®-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later, a terrifying new story set in the world created by 28 Days Later. It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.

Coastal takes you on an intimate journey with maverick musician Neil Young. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker and Young’s wife, Daryl Hannah, Coastal offers a behind the curtain glimpse of this unguarded iconoclast, as he navigates a return to the stage post-Covid. Join Neil Young in his private refuge, his silver eagle tour bus, where his impromptu observations on the bus naturally evolve into his candid, wry banter with his audience. The illuminating film also features songs rarely, if ever played live, performed in breathtakingly beautiful theaters.

Based on the true story of Mildred Burke. In a time when pro wrestling for women was illegal all over the country, a small town single mother embraces the danger to change culture as she dominates America’s most masculine sport to become the first million dollar female athlete in history.

That They May Face the Rising Sun is set in the late 1970s in rural Ireland, just before the communications revolution vastly changed the dynamics of these small, close knit communities.  Joe and Kate Ruttledge, having returned from London five years earlier to set up home near where Joe grew up, are now deeply embedded in their small, lakeside community. To a great extent this film is a portrait of a community and a way of life in rural Ireland that remained largely unchanged for many decades until the coming of radio, television and phones. In that society, neighbours helped each other with all the big jobs of the farming calendar – lambing, shearing, saving hay, cutting turf, etc – and visited each other’s houses to share news and talk by the fire. Complex, but mutually understood codes of manners determined people’s obligations to each other.

Following their celebrated release of The VIXEN Trilogy from Severin Films – in collaboration with The Russ Meyer Charitable Trust – the company is bringing two more landmark films from the vaults of iconic American auteur Russ Meyer: 1965’s action-and-violence saga MOTORPSYCHO and the erotic comedy RUSS MEYER’S UP! co-written by Roger Ebert.
