Queue Issue 19 is here to spotlight two formidable cover stars in Danielle Deadwyler and Keira Knightley.
Deadwyler delivers her latest mesmerizing turn in Malcolm Washington's adaptation of August Wilson's famed play, The Piano Lesson, and her powerhouse work in the film is simply transfixing. The drama turns on a fight over an heirloom piano, passed down to Deadwyler's Berniece and her sharecropper brother Boy Willie (John David Washington). The actor sat down with Queue contributor Jazmine Hughes to discuss how she prepared for the role and the experience of bringing a part of Wilson's canon to the screen. I've had a couple of divine experiences, and that was one of them, she says. I'm wanting to be taught by the things that I do and the opportunities that I'm able to have.
Queue Issue 19's other cover star Knightley brings an equal command of character to her latest project, the unconventional London-set series Black Doves. A spy thriller that gamely treads into action comedy and deadly romance, the series sees the two-time Oscar nominee step into the role of Helen Webb, a woman who, after a decade in the employ of a top-secret organization, is grappling with who she really is and what she wants from life. When you think about all those John le Carr spy novels, the characters are often going through some sort of identity crisis, struggling with living multiple lives and what's true and what isn't. Helen sits very much within that framework, Knightley says.
Additionally, Queue Issue 19 goes behind the scenes on some of the most anticipated films of the season to explore the impeccable performances that drive them and the peerless artistry that helps bring them to life. Case in point: The issue features a detailed exploration of the making of Emilia P rez, French auteur Jacques Audiard's musical crime drama starring Karla Sof a Gasc n, Zoe Salda a, and Selena Gomez. From casting, makeup, hairstyling, and costumes to production design, cinematography, and beyond, Queue offers a deep dive into how Audiard partnered with key collaborators to create a masterful and wholly unique cinematic epic.
And while we're on the subject of artistry, our latest issue features an in-depth conversation with Angelina Jolie, who transforms into legendary opera singer Maria Callas in director Pablo Larra n's latest film, Maria. The Oscar-winning actor shares what it was like to inhabit the soprano's life and the aspect of working on set that she likes best. I like the moment when you're deeply in the trenches trying to fix something or fight for something or push yourself to a limit to see if you can, Jolie tells Queue. I like it when work is hard, and I like being a part of a crew. I like being a part of a team of artists. That's a wonderful feeling to be a part of a collective.
For fans of international cinema and series, Queue Issue 19 includes a special section devoted to storytelling. We preview the highly anticipated second season of Korean blockbuster Squid Game, as well as the new limited series Senna, which follows the life of the iconic Brazilian motorsports driver. We travel to Australia for a look at the Kaitlyn Dever-led miniseries Apple Cider Vinegar, and we visit Italy for the lowdown on the six-episode epic, The Leopard, based on the classic Sicily-set novel by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa.
Additionally, the section highlights two upcoming literary adaptations: One Hundred Years of Solitude, which brings Gabriel Garc a M rquez's landmark novel to the screen, and Pedro P ramo, adapted for the screen by Oscar-nominated cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto for his feature directorial debut.
Head to the Netflix shop and order the latest issue of Queue to sample these stories and much, much more.
