“I thought I was fly. I acted like I was fly and got what I wanted.” Apple TV has unveiled an official trailer for a two-part documentary film titled Number One on the Call Sheet, arriving for streaming in March. Two doc films celebrate the achievements of Black actors in Hollywood. Insightful, funny, emotional, these stories of trailblazing men & women reveal what it takes to find success in the film industry. Number One on the Call Sheet: Black Leading Men In Hollywood (directed by Reginald Hudlin) and Number One on the Call Sheet: Black Leading Women In Hollywood (directed by Shola Lynch) deliver an in-depth look at some of Hollywood’s biggest stars as they reveal their journeys to game-changing leading roles. The films are produced for Apple by Jamie Foxx, Kevin Hart, Datari Turner and Dan Cogan. Both of these seem to be interview docs – featuring chats with and anecdotes and more from some of the greatest talent of today. “We don’t have this kind of collective testimonial from any period of film history… The audience [can] experience what it was like to be in the room & in conversation with unvarnished ambition, excellence, and beauty and to feel their awe, joy, frustration, love, triumph. I’ve truly been surprised how much their stories transcend celebrity and have meaning for us mere mortals. I can only hope the audience feels the same.” Take a look.
