See New Trailer From Jeff Buckley Documentary ‘It's Never Over'
'I mean, he was literally the best singer I ever heard,' singer/songwriter Aimee Mann enthuses in a new trailer about Buckley, who accidentally drowned in Memphis at the age of 30 in 1997 while recording the follow-up to his acclaimed 1994 debut, Grace.

It's Never Over premiered at Sundance in January after years in the making. Among the subjects interviewed for it are Buckley's mother, Mary Guibert, bandmates Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred, ex-partners Rebecca Moore and Joan Wasser and musicians such as Mann and Ben Harper.
Several clips in the trailer show Buckley bristling when asked questions about his late father, British folk legend Tim Buckley, whom he barely knew as a child. 'My main influences: love, anger, depression and Zeppelin,' he says with a smile at one point.
While reminding viewers of Buckley's immense musical talents, the trailer also reveals a tortured and fatalistic edge to his personality. 'I've been wrong, I've been completely ugly, I've been beautiful, I've been totally in love, I've been hideous, but I've never been dead,' he tells one journalist. Wasser recalls in another excerpt, 'he said, I have to tell you something about me. I'm not gonna last that long.'
It's Never Over is produced by director Amy Berg in tandem with Ryan Heller, Christine Connor, Mandy Chang, Matthew Roozen and Jennie Bedusa. Among the executive producers is Brad Pitt, who first approached Guibert years ago about starring in a biopic about her son.

'And Just Like That': Sarah Jessica Parker says goodbye to Carrie Bradshaw
Sarah Jessica Parker is saying goodbye to her iconic character, Carrie Bradshaw. After the show's co-creator Michael Patrick King announced that 'And Just Like That' wouldn't be returning for a fourth season, Parker took to Instagram to share a clip montage of her playing Bradshaw over the years along with a heartfelt poem to mark the end of the 'Sex and the City' franchise. 'She has made the hardest, worst and best decisions. Traveled near and far for the new, the vintage, friends and love. Changed homes, time zones, boyfriends, her mind, her shoes, her hair, but never her love and devotion to New York City,' Parker wrote, referencing the character she's portrayed for over two decades on HBO's 'Sex and the City,' 'And Just Like That' and in two feature films. After noting her Carrie has 'hailed cabs,' 'ran in heels,' 'danced with Stanford' (played by late actor Willie Garson) and more, she then shouted out her 'Sex and the City' co-stars Cynthia Nixon (Miranda), Kim Cattrall (Samantha), Kristin Davis (Charlotte), followed by Sarita Choudhury (Seema) and Nicole Ari Parker (LTW), who both starred on 'And Just Like That.' 'Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte, there will never be better friends and what great fortune for Carrie to come to know and love Seema and LTW, most divine new connections,' she shared. Parker also shared what her legendary character has meant to her over the years. 'Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all,' she continued. 'I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion.' Parker than began to conclude her message by saying that her and King 'recognized, as we have in the past, this chapter complete.' ''AJLT' was all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380 that includes all the brilliant actors who joined us. I am better for every single day I spent with you. It will be forever before I forget the whole thing,' she wrote, before adding a 'Thank you' to fans. 'I love you so. I hope you love these final two episodes as much as we all do,' she added. Fans were quick to flood the 'Hocus Pocus 2' star's post with supportive comments. 'this is so devastating and liberating at the same time,' one fan noted. Another added, 'I will love these characters forever. THANK YOU SJP" Meanwhile, Parker's co-star Davis also responded to the post, writing, 'Beautiful.' She later shared her own reaction to the ending of the series on Instagram, writing she was 'profoundly sad' about the news. 'I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working so hard on our show with deep love. And to our loyal fans, we love you forever and ever.' she said. King announced that 'AJLT' will be ending with a statement that was shared on the show's social media accounts on Friday. He noted that the series will conclude at the end of Season 3 with a two-part finale. 'SJP and I held off announcing the news until now because we didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season,' he wrote. 'It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years.'

‘And Just Like That…' the internet wants to make background actor Christopher Clark a star
Technically, Christopher Clark was a background performer on a recent episode of 'And Just Like That…,' but he doesn't mind if you refer to him as 'the extra extra.' That's because the actor – who is a superfan of the HBO Max series and the original that spurred it, 'Sex and the City' – is getting tons of online love thanks to his decision to go big and not go home with his performance. (HBO Max and CNN are owned by the same parent company.) He couldn't be more delighted about it. 'It's funny because we shot this a year ago,' he told CNN in an interview on Thursday. 'And I've had the pleasure of working on this show a few times and it is always a dream.' Clark appears in the final scene of Season 3, episode 9 of 'And Just Like That…,' titled 'Present Tense,' in which Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) meets with her beloved girlfriends at a busy bar-restaurant after an intense interaction with Aidan Shaw (John Corbett). A clip focusing on Clark in the scene, posted to Instagram on Wednesday, was captioned 'The Meryl Streep of background actors steps into her light' and co-shared by influential 'Sex and the City'-focused social media account @everyoutfitonsatc. The post, which features Clark acting head to toe, has already garnered over 20,000 likes. 'This character needs to keep popping up at bars and restaurants the girls frequent,' one person wrote on the Instagram post. 'Coincidentally.' The official social media account for HBO Max commented, 'I couldn't help but wonder: Did I just see a star be born?' (HBO declined to comment further for this story when contacted.) Some even lip read what Clark was saying during the scene, especially enjoying his telling another background actor, 'You're bad! You're so bad!' Ordinarily, background actors are not supposed to audibly speak in such scenes, and are instead instructed to pantomime, but those present for that particular shoot were made aware that this one would have a voice over so the actors were free to do and say what they wanted as long as they stayed in character. The scene was eventually overlaid with Parker's lines along with a moody soundtrack courtesy of Taylor Swift (the track is 'How Did It End?' off her most recent album). 'At one point they said, 'Big events have just happened in the show and the girls are getting together,' but I had no idea there'd be this sad Taylor Swift song and it'd be this emotional moment,' Clark said. 'So I'm just there sitting perched at the end of the bar, kiki-ing, having the time of my life.' If he looks familiar to viewers of the show, that's because Clark, who works as a realtor in his day job, has not only been in a few 'And Just Like That…' episodes, but also in the feature-length 2010 film 'Sex and the City 2.' On 'And Just Like That…,' he's repeatedly popped up in the same room with Carrie, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker) and was a cater waiter in a scene in Charlotte's home. The characters now feel like family to him. 'In my own (delusional) mind I am there with them because these characters mean so, so much to me,' said Clark, whose late dog was named Bradshaw for Parker's character and whose current pup, Truman Jones, is named in honor of legacy 'Sex and the City' character Samantha Jones played by Kim Cattrall. Understandably, Clark would not be unhappy if this unexpected star turn led to more work. Commentors suggested that they would enjoy seeing him in a spinoff of some type, and he has some ideas. Since the character Seema Patel played by Sarita Choudhury is a realtor on the show and Clark is one in real life, he envisions being part of her storyline. 'Maybe we have a falling out, but the girls take my side,' he suggested by way of some TV-ready drama. Until then, Clark hopes to keep working on the show and watching episodes with a Cosmopolitan cocktail in hand and his beloved pup at his side.

'Sex and the City' spinoff 'And Just Like That' to end with Season 3 just like that
"And Just Like That" is over, just like that. Michael Patrick King – an executive producer of the "Sex and the City" spinoff, which airs on HBO Max – revealed the show will abruptly end at the end of the current season, in a note posted to the show's social media pages Aug. 1. "And just like that... the ongoing storytelling of the 'Sex And The City' universe is coming to an end," King wrote. "While I was writing the last episode of 'And Just Like That...' season 3, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop." He said that he and franchise star Sarah Jessica Parker "held off announcing the news until now because we didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season." King said, "It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years." 'And Just Like That' Season 3: Date, time, how to watch new episodes The "SATC" revival premiered on HBO Max in late 2021, featuring three out of the four original stars, minus Kim Cattrall's promiscuous Samantha Jones. However, the fan favorite Manhattanite made an offscreen appearance through a text conversation with Parker's lead character, Carrie Bradshaw. In the spinoff, Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) were back on the New York City streets and fans' TV screens. 'And Just Like That' finale to end Season 3 The show is set to end with a two-part finale on Aug. 7 and Aug. 14 on HBO Max. Sarah Jessica Parker speaks out on 'AJLT' ending In an Instagram post after the news broke, Parker said a heartfelt goodbye to a character she's loved for nearly 30 years. "Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all. I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her," Parker wrote. "The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore the most sentimental and profound gratitude and lifetime of debt. To you all." She echoed King's earlier message, writing,"MPK and I together recognized, as we have in the past, this chapter complete." "AJLT was all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380 that includes all the brilliant actors who joined us," Parker said. "I am better for every single day I spent with you." Davis added in her own Instagram post: "I am profoundly sad. I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working so hard on our show with deep love. And to our loyal fans, we love you forever and ever." Despite a loyal following of "SATC" fans and new viewers, the show has drawn criticism for its confusing plotlines and character development since Season 1.
