This week we have a 'TWO Part' affair for you EchoChamberFP fans!!!
'Part ONE' has two new Netflix joints, the first from AGC Studios, Confluential Films is an adaption of a popular romance novel, the second is a documentary about cloning! We step back to look at the third instalment of a boxing franchise from Amazon Studios, MGM Studios. AND, checkout a new documentary from Proximity Media, Onyx Collective & Hulu about creating a modern inclusive American Anthem!
'The Perfect Find' is directed by Numa Perrier and written by Leigh Davenport. Based on Tia Williams's 2016 book of the same name. After a messy public breakup and a high-profile firing, Jenna (Gabrielle Union) returns to New York to resurrect her fashion career. Knowing she'll only get one chance to rebuild her reputation, Jenna swallows her pride and goes to work for cutthroat mogul Darcy (Gina Torres). But her comeback attempt gets complicated when she falls for her charming, much younger coworker Eric (Keith Powers) - who just so happens to be Darcy's son. After putting everything on the line for her career, Jenna must decide if she'll risk it all on a secret romance, and find out if she can have a future with Eric despite their generational divide.
'Creed III' is the directorial feature debut from Michael B. Jordan and written by Keenan Coogler & Zach Baylin. After dominating the boxing world, Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) has been thriving in both his career and family (Tessa Thompson & Mila Davis Kent) life. When childhood friend and former boxing prodigy Damian (Jonathan Majors) resurfaces after serving a long sentence in prison, he is eager to prove that he deserves his shot in the ring. The face off between former friends is more than just a fight. To settle the score, Adonis must put his future on the line to battle Damian--a fighter who has nothing to lose.
'King of Clones' is directed by Aditya Thayi. After rocking the world with his work in human cloning, a scientist falls from grace. Now, he's back -- this time with pets and extinct species.
'Anthem' is directed by Peter Nicks. Reflecting upon “The Star-Spangled Banner,” “Anthem” follows acclaimed composer Kris Bowers and GRAMMY®-winning music producer DJ Dahi as they take a musical journey traveling across America to create a new sound, inspired by what our country’s national anthem might be if written in today’s time.
