How Chadwick Boseman Brought 'Grace and Grit' to His Final Film Roles


*As part of its Oscar Nominations Preview 2021 digital issue, TheWrap magazine published a piece on how
Chadwick Boseman brought ‘grace and grit’ to his final film roles. In the piece Spike Lee, Colman Domingo, Delroy Lindo and others pay tribute to the charismatic actor who is picking up posthumous nominations and awards.
Less than six months after dying unexpectedly of colon cancer, a disease he’d hidden from almost everybody since he received the diagnosis in 2016, Boseman’s remarkable performances in “Ma Rainey “and “Da 5 Bloods” won him the Actors Tribute at this year’s Gotham Awards, along with an array of critics’ prizes and the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for “Ma Rainey.”

'The Croods: A New Age's' Big Challenge: Creating a New World During a Global Pandemic

‘The Croods: A New Age’s’ Big Challenge: Creating a New World During a Global Pandemic
TheWrap awards magazine: “We had great momentum and chemistry, and then it was like, Wait — we’re going to have to do all of this separately in our homes?” says first-time director Joel Crawford
By Steve Pond | March 5, 2021 @ 3:53 PM
A version of this story about “The Croods: A New Age” first appeared in the Oscar Nominations Preview issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
The original “Croods” movie came out in 2013, made almost $600 million worldwide and was nominated for an Oscar, so it’s no surprise that DreamWorks Animation announced a sequel that same year. What is unusual is that it took the company seven years to complete “The Croods: A New Age,” since the company’s history has been to space its sequels at intervals of three or occasionally four years.

‘Onward’ Director ‘Heartened’ That His Film Became a Refuge for Families During Lockdown
TheWrap awards magazine: Dan Scanlon’s Pixar film went from the No. 1 film at the box office to one of the first family films released during the pandemic

This story about “Onward” first appeared in the Oscar Nominations Preview issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine
Dan Scanlon now holds a rather strange place in movie history. His Pixar film, “Onward,” was the last film standing at No. 1 at the box office before movie theaters across the nation were forced to close by the pandemic. But even though his film was only in theaters for a couple of weeks, he was heartened by how families embraced “Onward” in quarantine.

Why Glen Keane Brought a Touch of Pink Floyd to Chinese Folk Tale 'Over the Moon'


Two of Glen Keane’s “Over the Moon” sketches:
“Over the Moon,” Keane’s first film for Netflix and also surprisingly his feature directorial debut, starts out in a small town in China, where a young girl named Fei Fei decides to build a rocket to travel to the moon and prove that Chang’e is real. Wary of being a Westerner telling a story from a culture he knew little about, Keane traveled through China with his sketchbook, going into homes in small towns and drawing everything he saw.
“Everything I smelled, I tasted, I heard, I saw, I touched is in this movie,” he said. “There’s this wonderful thing I’ve found in my career, that when you create something from the point of discovery, you are so passionate and you can’t wait to share it.”
