2016-02-24
A loss at Leyland High School is mourned; Leslie’s job is on the line; Curt thinks his estranged wife has taken their son, Peter; Becca makes a surprising confession to Dan; Sebastian tries to help Anne.
After a stint on the sets of the WGN series Manhattan, Kimberly Peirce directed her second TV episode of the 2015-2016 season with American Crime 2×08, written by playwright & television scribe Keith Huff, known for his work as a writer/producer on House of Cards & Mad Men.
Revealed by the critically acclaimed feature Boys Don’t Cry in 1999, she kickstarted the career of Chloe Sevigny, who landed an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, and crowned Hilary Swank, who won the golden prize for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
After developping an adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke’s epic Childhood’s End at Universal Pictures in the early 2000’s, she made her return in 2006 with The L Word episode “Lifeline” and released her second feature Stop-Loss in 2008, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Abbie Cornish & Channing Tatum.
In 2013, she followed the footsteps of Stephen King by directing a remake of Carrie, who went on to become, with Jennifer Lee’s Frozen, one of the highest-grossing films directed by a woman that year.
All the American Crime season 2 episodes are shot by cinematographer Lisa Wiegand, DP for Dollhouse/Chicago Fire and winner of the 1999 American Society of Cinematographers Heritage Award.

Arrow 4x15 (CW) Co-written by Keto Shimizu
2016-02-24
Oliver realizes he needs help battling Darhk so he calls in an old friend – Vixen. Using her magical ability to summon animal powers, Vixen gets a lock on Darhk’s location and the team goes to war. Meanwhile, Thea has a heart-to-heart talk with Malcolm.
Vixen comes to life and arrives in Star City!
The DC Comics heroine created by Gerry Conway and Bob Oksner in 1981 made her Arrowverse debut as an animated character on the 6 part webseries Vixen in late August, directed by James Tucker and created by Wendy Mericle, Keto Shimizu, Brian Ford Sullivan & Lauren Certo.
The limited animated series, featuring the voices of Stephen Amell, Grant Gustin and Megalyn Echikunwoke as the titular character, was expected to become a stapple in the Arrow universe if the series were to be successful. It didn’t took long, given the positive reception: her arrival as a live action character was confirmed in December, still incarnated by Megalyn Echikunwoke.
Having played Isabelle Tyler in The 4400, Echikunwoke is no stranger to superpowers, which is a good thing as Vixen -also known Mari McCabe- has the power to mimic the abilities of any animal that has ever lived on Earth.
The animated series has already been renewed for a second season, and it woulnd’t be a surprise if the live action heroine went on to get her own spin-off series or join the Legends of Tomorrow…
