“We have a lot of stories that are set late Victorian or World War II,” remarks costume designer Jane Petrie about the most common period pieces made in England. While “The Essex Serpent” on Apple TV+ is indubitably another nineteenth-century tale, she admits she wanted to “push” the conventional design of the Victorian era with her work on the show. The six episodes move back and forth between London and Essex, and the designer shares, “We really wanted modernity in London,” whereas Essex was “unrecognizable as a village in England at that time.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
“The Essex Serpent” centers on widowed naturalist Cora Seaborne (Claire Danes), who leaves London for Essex in order to look into the news of a mythical sea creature that has been terrorizing a small fishing community. Cora is able to pursue her inquiry only because of the death of her controlling husband,...

The Essex Serpent” production designer Alice Normington and costume designer Jane Petrie centered their work on the journey of the show’s protagonist Cora Seaborne, played by Claire Danes.
Based on the Sarah Perry novel, the six-part series, now stream- ing on Apple TV+, takes place in Victorian London and in a sea- side village plagued by rumors of a mythical beast. Newly widowed Cora has just moved to the Essex village, intrigued by the story of the serpent and ready to follow her passion to look for fossils.
Normington’s designs touched on the idea of Heaven, Hell and Earth to portray Cora’s turmoil. When the character is at her London house, red tones are a reflection of her past as viewers learn about the abuse she suffered there. “That home is her hell, and the bedroom where she was abused is the mouth of hell,” explains the production designer.

The barest bones of “The Essex Serpent” make up a familiar enough story, whether taking place today or, as this new limited series does, in the late nineteenth century. An ambitious and attractive woman, seeking answers about what she should do next with her life, leaves the big city for a small town, where she meets an equally attractive man and finds that everything is more complicated than it seems. It’s a narrative with huge potential to bore, but Anna Symon’s adaptation of the Sarah Perry novel (premiering May 13 on Apple TV+) carefully layers it with more probing questions about love, loss, and faith. In its most distinctive moments, “The Essex Serpent” is far richer than skimming along its briny surface might otherwise suggest. In its weaker ones, it indulges a vein of melodrama that doesn’t quite suit it.

It’s snowing in Budapest, and production designer Fiona Crombie is on a recce — the British term for a reconnaissance mission. She’s looking for the perfect location to recreate the Battle of Agincourt for David Michod’s “The King,” starring Timothée Chalamet as King Henry V of England. Loosely based on Shakespeare’s plays, the film follows Hal as he ascends to the throne and faces political threats from neighboring France. For Crombie, it meant not only did she have to find locations for the muddy battles we see on-screen.
For the interior scenes, Crombie scouted the U.K. to find the ideal location for her royal court. “We shot in Haddon Hall and Berkeley Hall. I built some sets in Wales.”
Crombie is no stranger to recreating royal courts and working with medieval households; she created Queen Anne’s court in “The Favourite,” as well as the medieval settings of “Macbeth.

Timothee Chalamet was determined not to be typecast after his breakout, Oscar-nominated performance in “Call Me By Your Name” two years ago. Since then he has appeared in an eclectic mix of films, each different from the last. His latest, David Michod‘s “The King,” is based on on several plays from William Shakespeare‘s historical plays, collectively referred to as the “Henriad.” It recently screened as part of the BFI London Film Festival and will be released stateside by Netflix on October 11 before it streams starting on November 1.
As Henry V, Chalamet shows a steely brutality mixed with measured strength in a physical role that presents him as a leader amongst much more experienced men. He redeems himself in a part played on-screen previously by Laurence Olivier and Kenneth Branagh. Those knighted actors headlined straightforward adaptations of Shakespeare’s play “Henry V.” This new film, which was written by...

This season’s period costume design was marked by a striking blend of authenticity and artistry in such Oscar contenders as “Black Panther,” “The Favourite,” “Mary Queen of Scots,” “Colette,” and “Outlaw King.”
And the secret weapons were denim and wool, the Pan-African flag, and going black-and-white. How’s that for evoking a sense of modernism?

Ruth Carter’s colorful costume designs for “Black Panther” represented a diverse celebration of African cultures — past and present — and elevated the Marvel superhero genre to a new aesthetic realm per director Ryan Coogler’s mandate. She mixed a panoply of tribal influences along with Afropunk for the fictional Wakanda in making a beautiful and positive cultural statement about Africa. And in keeping with the indigenous direction, she stayed true to the authenticity of fabrics in adapting them for a superhero aura.

In 1995 “Braveheart” won five Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director for Mel Gibson. It’s since been cemented as one of cinema’s best and most beloved movies thanks to film’s greatest and truest critic: time. It’s curious, then, that it has taken 23 years to continue the story started by William Wallace in Gibson’s “Braveheart.” Yep, that’s right. There’s more to the story.
David Mackenzie‘s “Outlaw King” tells it with a humor, energy, and a trio of great performances from Chris Pine (terrific Scottish accent), Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Stephen Dillane. The latter is best known as Stannis Baratheon in “Game of Thrones. He is one of five ‘GoT’ actors to pop up during this picture. Florence Pugh manages to make an impact, despite not featuring as much as her clear and obvious talent demands.

The HBO juggernaut also won for period/fantasy production design, fantasy/sci-fi costume design, sound mixing, prosthetic makeup, and stunt coordination.
FX’s “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” followed right behind with four craft Emmys.

More than 20 minutes into Friday’s “The Crown” panel, it seemed the cast would never address the royal elephant in the room. But then Vanity Fair’s Krista Smith asked her final question: What about the pay gap?
Amid a media storm surrounding reports that Matt Smith, who plays Prince Philip, received a higher salary on the series than Claire Foy, who plays Queen Elizabeth, Netflix canceled red carpet interviews for the event in North Hollywood on Friday. However, during the panel with Foy, Vanessa Kirby, show creator Peter Morgan, and costume designer Jane Petrie, Foy shared her thoughts on the controversy.
“I have had the most extraordinary revelation about myself and womankind,” Foy said. “It’s sort of amazing that the conversations people are having now, people think we’ve always been able to have, but we haven’t. You asking me that question is probably the first time...

Low-key is the phrase which comes to mind when attending the 2018 BAFTA TV Craft Awards on April 22, especially when compared to the BAFTA Film Awards several months back. Low-key, undoubtedly more relaxed but yet, just as classy. It’s also looser, so to speak.
It’s currently 22 degrees Celsius here in a rather sticky in London – that’s roughly 72 Fahrenheit to you guys over in America. And it is not a good day to be wearing a suit. We’re used to complaining about rain, so it’s tricky for us Brits to adjust and complain about heat. But we manage.

The Oscar frontrunner for Best Costume Design, “Phantom Thread,” stumbled at the guild awards on Feb. 20, losing the Best Period Film category to one of its Oscar rivals, “The Shape of Water.” Another Oscar nominee, “Beauty and the Beast,” lost the Fantasy Film race to “Wonder Woman.” The other two Academy Awards contenders — “Darkest Hour” and “Victoria and Abdul” — were snubbed by the Costume Designers Guild at its 20th annual awards, which took place at the Beverly Hilton .
But don’t rule out “Phantom Thread” for the Oscar just yet. Remember, only nine of the most recent 19 Oscar champs for Best Costume Design came into the evening with a Cdg award on their mantle. Indeed, just last year the academy went with the fantasy film “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” which had lost at the guild to “Doctor Strange.”

In the battle of period costume design, “The Shape of Water’s” Luis Sequeira upset “Phantom Thread’s” Mark Bridges at the 20th annual Costume Designer Guild Awards at the Beverly Hilton.
In a further victory for the Best Picture Oscar frontrunner, DGA winner Guillermo del Toro was honored with the Distinguished Collaborator Award. While Bridges remains the Oscar favorite for Paul Thomas Anderson’s love poem to London fashion statements of the 1950s, the race has just tightened for Sequeira’s Cold War meets movie fashion statements of the 1960s.
The sci-fi/fantasy award surprisingly went to “Wonder Woman’s” Lindy Hemming over Oscar-nominated Jacqueline Durran for “Beauty and the Beast.” The contemporary award, meanwhile, went to “I, Tonya’s” Jennifer Johnson, beating the much flashier “Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” designed by Arianne Phillips.

The Costume Designers Guild nominees for the 20th annual Cdg Awards in film, TV, and shortform costume design have landed. Three costume categories separate contemporary, period, and fantasy/sci-fi, so there’s room for more contemporary titles such as “I, Tonya” and “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” which are less likely to make it to the big Oscar show. Period films like “Phantom Thread” and “The Shape of Water” and big-scale fantasies like “Thor: Ragnarok” tend to make the Oscar grade. Given the number of slots, among the notable snubs are period films “Darkest Hour” (which boasts more showy costumes than nominated “Dunkirk”), “The Post,” “The Beguiled,” “Victoria & Abdul,” and “Mudbound.”
On the television side, a number of popular picks emerged with nods, including “Game of Thrones,” “Black Mirror,” “The Crown,” and “Stranger Things.” Like the film nods, each category is divided by contemporary, period, and fantasy/sci-fi designations.

The fight for women's equality in early 20th century Britain offered a different kind of costume design aesthetic in Oscar contender "Suffragette." Looking to ordinary people for inspiration, designer Jane Petrie conveyed dressing for survival and empowerment in the gritty drama of factory worker-turned activist Maud (Carey Mulligan). Read More: "How Sarah Gavron Picked Her 'Suffragette'" "I wanted to find early images of clothes in motion, relaxed, real people going about their daily business," recalled Petrie ("Moon," "28 Weeks Later"). "No gloves, open jackets, not following the rules of a period costume drama, basically. It was important to me to get away from anything theatrical or contrived so I wanted as many images as I could find of ordinary daily life.

Telluride – There is a lot about “Suffragette” that shouldn’t be rare in the movie business. A film with a female director (Sarah Gavron), a female screenwriter (Abi Morgan) and two female producers (Alison Owen, Faye Ward) should be the norm and not the exception. Unfortunately, it’s not. As star Meryl Streep noted during the film’s Q&A on Saturday, in 2014 women directed just 1% of movies released by Hollywood studios. That fact, along with a recent resurgence equal rights for women in the either has made “Suffragette” something of a cause célèbre at Telluride this year. If only the actually movie was something to celebrate as well. Set in 1912, the film takes place at a key moment in British history. After 50 years of peaceful protest Suffrage societies led by the Women’s Social and Political Union (Wspu) decide only more aggressive action can spur the government to grant women the right to vote.

I haven't forgotten about the Oscar charts. This first installment is the most time-consuming is all, as it sets the templates up for an entire years worth of handwringing and hiearchy juggling. With this latest update we only have the "big eight" categories left to do (minus actor & supporting actress which we've already surveyed). But here are a few thoughts on new charts that are up...

I perhaps overstate the music branch's love for their favorite sons each year. It's not that that love isn't evident each year (stop to consider how many composers, for example, have 8 or more nominations and how rare that is in many other fields) it's that Hollywood's favorite composers are quite prolific so, John Williams & Alexandre Desplat aside (who never miss for a nomination) aside, there's no guarantee that any...

Studiocanal and Working Title Films have announced the start of principal photography on October 18th for the untitled Cycling Project, reuniting Academy Award nominated director Stephen Frears (Philomena, The Queen) and Working Title Films.
The cast is led by Ben Foster (Kill Your Darlings, Ain’T Them Bodies Saints) as Lance Armstrong, and Chris O’Dowd (Bridesmaids) as journalist David Walsh, with Guillaume Canet (Tell No One) and Jesse Plemons (TV’s Breaking Bad) in key supporting roles.
The film charts the thrilling rise of pro-cyclist Lance Armstrong through the 90s and early 2000s, battling cancer, as he and his fellow American teammates dominate and change the quintessentially European sport of cycling. Winning the Tour de France an unprecedented seven times, Lance retires as one of the great sporting heroes of our time, and worth millions of dollars.

Moon (2009) is a love letter to the science fiction movies that director Duncan Jones grew up watching. He stated his intention was, “to create something which felt comfortable within that canon of those science fiction films from the sort of late seventies to the early eighties”*. Jones’ eerie story of a moon base worker who discovers uncomfortable truths about himself during a three year solo mission certainly achieved that. One of the central reasons the film succeeds, attests blogger Dallas King is its subtly readable costume design by Jane Petrie.
Petrie’s only previous science fiction credit was in the costume department for Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (1999). With Moon, however, she avoided the fantastical elements of sci-fi to create a look that felt more science fact rather than fiction, while still evoking the spirit of genre classics such as 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Solaris (1972), Outland (1981) and...
