Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
Yann Demange And Daniel Sackheim Are Directing The First Three Episodes
Although everything around the show has been kept pretty quiet, they have revealed that directors Yann Demange and Daniel Sackheim are directing the first few episodes of the show.
Yann Demange is best known for his work on the British series Top Boy, for which he was nominated a BAFTA, and his feature film, '71. He is directing the pilot, while Emmy-Award Winning director Daniel Sackheim is behind episodes two and three. Sackheim has been involved in the world of TV since the early 80s and has worked on a variety of popular shows, like The X-Files, The Americans, and Game of Thrones.
Artist Afua Richardson Will Have Work Featured On The Show
Illustrator and artist Afua Richardson is best known for her work on the comic book series, Black Panther: World Of Wakanda, which won the 2018 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comic Book.
Late last year, she tweeted that some of her work will be prominently featured in the show's first season and explained why she had stopped posting a lot on social media, as she had to keep everything about the show under wraps.
Actress Elizabeth Debicki Was Replaced By Abbey Lee
Australian actress Elizabeth Debicki was originally cast in the role of Christina Braithwhite, the daughter of the head of a secret order called the "Sons of Adam" who desperately wants to get her father's respect and has no problem using Atticus and his family to get it.
Unfortunately, due to a scheduling conflict, she had to leave the series and fellow Australian actress and model Abbey Lee was cast in her place. While Debicki won't be appearing on the show, she will be starring in Christopher Nolan's much anticipated new spy film, Tenet, which is set for release later this year.
A Stunt Car Flipped During Filming And Injured A Cameraman
Lovecraft Country also filmed in Elburn, Illinois. In July 2018, while filming a chase scene, a stunt car flipped over. There were four people inside the car, but the cameraman was propped on top of the car in a pod. Therefore, he was injured when the car tippled over.
The cameraman was immediately rushed to a hospital and, thankfully, didn't sustain any life-threatening injuries.
Production Of Lovecraft Country Almost Cost Smollett-Bell Her Role In Birds Of Prey
This is a pretty successful year for actress Jurnee Smollett-Bell. Besides, Lovecraft Country, she also starred in one of the biggest films of the year, Birds of Prey as the Black Canary. Yet, Smollett-Bell almost never got the chance to take on the role of the crime-fighting songstress. At first, those working on the film weren't even interested in her auditioning for the movie because of her commitment to Lovecraft Country.
Thankfully, after some encouragement from Misha Green, Smollett-Bell went ahead and sent in an audition tape, which eventually led to her being cast as Dinah Lance.
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
