If any doubts existed about the project’s film nature, they were wiped away during a visit to “The Night Of’s” post-production facilities in New York. The scripts were also all finished before a single moment was shot - unlike much of television, in which writers often stay just an episode or two ahead of production. Every episode was directed by Zallian - highly atypical for a TV show. “The Night Of” was co-written by Steven Zallian, an Oscar winner, and stars John Turturro neither has ever been a key figure on a TV series. The upcoming crime drama “The Night Of” would seem like a prototypical cable show - commissioned by HBO, airing for eight episodes, designed as summer appointment viewing.

Is it a movie or TV? Will it win an Emmy? An Oscar? Both? To help sort out the viewing experiences, we asked TV critic MARY McNAMARA and film critic KENNETH TURAN to review “Made in America” from their different perspectives.Īnd with the once-clear lines between movies and TV getting ever-fuzzier, TURAN, McNAMARA, ROBERT LLOYD, STEVEN ZEITCHIK, JOSH ROTTENBERG and TODD MARTENS weigh in on The Blur. On June 11, the first of five episodes debuts on ABC. The trigger? ESPN’s 7 ½-hour documentary “O.J.: Made in America.” It premieres Friday in theaters for filmgoers who want to experience all 464 minutes in one sitting.
So what do we call these talkies on our screens? Movies? TV shows? Please, not “content.” In The Blur, a Los Angeles Times special series, we examine why the medium is no longer the message. Then there’s that comedy webisode you catch between meetings on your office laptop. “Lawrence of Arabia” appears on our mobile phones.
The way we watch movies and TV keeps changing.
