Where is newsroom filmed




















I try to balance that with just enough realism so that it feels like whatever romantic ideal is in there is somewhat attainable. It's not a cartoon. It's not animated… These are people who are trying to do the news well when market forces work against them.

As the Tribeca event was happening on the same day as the Boston Marathon, Sorkin told the audience that an episode of The Newsroom was filming in California about the bombing at last year's marathon. The creator also said it was the first time he was ever not on the set of something he's written.

I'm not sophisticated when it comes to politics, when it comes to journalism. I'm not as smart as the characters are or, as you can see, as articulate," he said, stumbling over his words. It's so fast We have airdates. We're working backwards. There are airdates that have to be hit and you have to write when you're not writing well and then you have to point a camera at it. Lemmon's character has just quit his job to get married, but gets drawn back to his old beat when a convict escapes death row.

The convict is innocent, but a case of yellow journalism from a pack of manipulative tabloid journalists has swayed sentiment against him.

Also involved: Lemmon's unsympathetic editor, played by Walter Matthau , who will do whatever it takes to keep Lemmon on the job. The bulk of the reporters on display in The Front Page are ruthless and have no trouble bending the truth to make a story sound better, but Lemmon's Hildy is out to do the right thing.

The Front Page is so popular it's been adapted several times, including an earlier film in , and another movie which will pop up on this list very soon. Next, in fact. But director Howard Hawks and writer Charles Lederer put an interesting new spin on the material: the character of Hildy is a woman here, played by Rosalind Russell , and her editor Cary Grant is her ex-husband.

The film crackles, bustling with life as characters spit out rapid-fire dialogue faster than typewriter keys can keep up. Hawks changed the game by trying something other films of the era avoided: overlapping dialogue. Most movies of the time, and before, have actors patiently waiting to deliver their lines, but in His Girl Friday , they banter and try to out-talk each other, which makes everything seem a lot more energetic and lot more realistic.

The Coen Brothers found themselves working on a big studio picture with 's The Hudsucker Proxy , and things didn't turn out so well. I don't mean quality-wise — The Hudsucker Proxy is great. The the film had trouble finding an audience, and was a box office bomb. No matter — it's an absolutely delight. The film finds Tim Robbins playing a sweet-natured but not exactly bright mail room clerk who finds himself named head of Hudsucker Industries in a scheme by the board of directors to buy controlling interest of the company.

Enter Amy Archer, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. Amy assumes a fake identity to gain access to Robbins' character and figure out what's going on a Hudsucker Industries.

Through it all, a romance blossoms. Hudsucker isn't really interested in journalism, but I felt like I'd be remiss if I left it off the list. Amy Archer is played to perfection by Jennifer Jason Leigh , who is channeling Rosalind Russell's His Girl Friday performance but also bringing her own manic spin to it all.

Leigh's rapid-fire dialogue delivery is an absolutely delight, and the scenes where she putters around the newsroom with fellow reporter Bruce Campbell are among the film's best. People like to call Ron Howard a workman director, but Howard has made a handful of legitimately wonderful movies. Keaton plays the editor of a New York City rag who can't get enough of his job. Unfortunately, budget cutbacks and marital problems are getting in the way. Things get even more complicated when reporters at Keaton's paper uncover a police cover-up which could either turn into a career-making story or end their careers forever.

The Paper is a bit over-stuffed, and it happily dabbles in cliches. Yet it's a whiplash inducing journey through the world of high-stakes, low-pay journalism, and it's one of the few movies on this list that actually features a scene where a character gets to yell "Stop the presses! The film that inspired this list! While some may wish Steven Spielberg would go back to making straight-up popcorn films, I'd argue that Spielberg's 21st-century output is among the most interesting of his career.

The Post is another civics lesson film from the directory, forming a third entry in the lose trilogy that also includes Lincoln and Bridge of Spies. Spielberg has assembled an all-star cast, but put Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep front and center in the true story of the Washington Post 's battle to publish the Pentagon Papers. The Post may be dabbling in the past, but it's very much a film about today, with Spielberg striving to defend a free press that frequently finds itself criticized against the current presidential administration.

The Post isn't precisely the best film of the year, but it is the most important. User reviews Review. Top review. I signed up for IMDb solely to give this show 10 stars. I have never felt as driven to make sure other people understood just how perfect a show was. But this show changed that! This show boils down everything that is wrong with America and puts out a simple answer to solving that. Jeff Daniels is perfect in his role as the tired beaten down journalist that just doesn't give a damn about anything anymore, but used too.

And we can see the spark that ignites him to become great again. Why aren't real reporters like this? Why oh why? If this show get's cancelled I will camp out in front of HBO HQ and not leave till the last Game of Thrones series comes out because I have to get on with my life at some point. This was my first review ever on IMDb, all because of this amazing show!

You better watch it as well! FAQ 2. How did Aaron Sorkin research for this series? Does The Newsroom cover important news and political events?
