The American Film Institute is teaming up with Universal Studios for a week-long series entitled “Black Stories Matter,” offering viewers the chance to watch African-American centered films for free across a variety of platforms like Amazon, Apple, and Comcast.

The American Film Institute has canceled a previously planned screening for writer-director Nate Parker’s upcoming Nat Turner slave epic Birth of a Nation as controversy involving a nearly two-decade-old rape case continues to swirl around Parker and the film’s co-writer.

Johnny Depp has played an endlessly diverse set of characters over a decades-long acting career: a swashbuckling pirate, a murderous mob boss, a loopy chocolate-factory owner, a nefarious barber — but according to the actor himself, all of his characters have one thing in common: they’re all gay.

After being selected to receive the American Film Institute’s 43rd Life Achievement Award, actor and comedian Steve Martin sat down with the Hollywood Reporter to discuss his success and look back at a nearly 50-year career.
