Award Winning Music Documentary THE DEFIANT ONES Debuts on Netflix on 3/23 • A mini-series about the relationship between music producer Jimmy Iovine and rapper Dr. Dre is coming to Netflix around the globe (excluding the USA and CANADA). “The Defiant Ones”, a 4-episode documentary that previously aired on HBO in America and Canada, examines their surprising partnership and how it has affected modern culture. • Set amid many of the defining events of the past four decades, The Defiant Ones tells the stories of Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre — one the son of a Brooklyn longshoreman, the other straight out of Compton — and their improbable partnership and surprising leading roles in a series of transformative events in contemporary culture. This revealing, compelling and often-gritty story takes place in recording studios, in humble homes and massive mansions, in criminal courts and in the highest corridors of corporate power. • The series includes interviews with such music icons as #Bono, #DavidGeffen, #Eminem, #Nas, #StevieNicks, #IceCube, #GwenStefani, #JonLandau, #TomPetty, #TrentReznor, #SnoopDogg, #BruceSpringsteen, #Diddy and #will.i.am., as well as #Dre and #JimmyIovine themselves, and is essential viewing for anyone interested in the history of hip-hop and modern pop. • Jimmy was pivotal to Stevie’s solo career when she initially went solo producing her first release Bella Donna. • @defiantones #thedefiantones

I do enjoy the TCL Chinese Hand And Foot Ceremonies. Previously, I’d covered Lily Tomlin ceremony with Jane Fonda. This occasion was to honor Director James Cameron and Producer Jon Landau for their years of great filmmaking and the sensational success of Avatar: The Way of Water which is hurtling quickly to the 2 billion dollar mark in box office receipts making one of the top grossing films of all time. I joined 20 or so other photographers to shot the event that Sigourney Weaver joined in honoring both men. The Chinese theatre had recently cleansed by the rain and we were enveloped in the shade of El Capitan and other building on the south side of Hollywood Boulevard for the hours plus king ceremony. The first time we shot the whole event in shade. Ellen K opened with a speech then the others followed. Everyone had an interesting story or two to tell about James or Jon as well as Titanic or Avatar. It offers an insiders view on how film come together sprinkled with personal insight and antidotal stories about their work as creatives. It’s always enjoyable and unforgettable. It’s nice to be a part of Hollywood entertainment history in the making. #tclchinesetheatre #avatar #avatarthewayofwater #jamescameron #jonlandau #handandfootceremony #hollywoodandhighland #moviemakers #titanic #hollywoodhistory (at TCL Chinese Theatres) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cna2aNOL_YH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
