Widows (2018 Steve McQueen & co-scr)

Based on Lynda La Plante's 80s TV series, also written by Gone Girl Gillian Flynn. Viola Davis has to pull off robbery or an extremely unpleasant Brian Tyree Henry (Paper Boi again) and Daniel Kaluuya will do 'er. She enlists the help of other widows Elizabeth Debicki, Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Erivo (we're now big fans of hers) to pull off heist; Robert Duvall and Colin Ferrell are also involved. And Liam Neeson.

Sean Bobbit's team responsible for some very smooth filming, such as the single take where Kaluuya shoots two gang members, or where we follow Farrell into his car and into the traffic; Bobbit operated, David Chameides did the Steadicam. It's shot on 35mm film in widescreen. Joe Walker edited, Hans Zimmer wrote the music.

Erivo plays Aretha Franklin in TV's Genius, season three, on Disney Plus.
