In 2018, Bill Murray joined famous cellist, Jan Vogler, on stage at the historic Acropolis in Athens, Greece, for a night of timeless poetry and music. Captured on film by director Andrew Muscato, the magical performance will soon become a feature film, premiering in July at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.
Spanning from Bach to Van Morrison, Walt Whitman to “West Side Story,” “New Worlds: The Cradle of Civilization” showcases the range of art that has influenced American and European culture and helped bridge the gap between the two.
The trailer opens with Murray reading Whitman’s poem “Song of the Open Road, 9” before launching into “I Feel Pretty” from “West Side Story,” all behind a sweeping classical music trio led by world-renowned cellist Vogler and featuring Mira Wang on violin and Vanessa Perez on piano.
“New Worlds: The Cradle of Civilization” captures the final performance of Murray and Vogler’s European “New Worlds” tour.

Should Hollywood talent managers remain in danger of losing their hard-earned commissions if they are found to have improperly "procured" employment for clients? That issue, long one of the most sensitive in the entertainment representation community, is coming to the foreground again in the form of a new appeal by legal crusader Rick Siegel that is finding broad if not overwhelming support within the talent management community. Siegel, as you might recall, is the manager (now former manager--he left the business) whose case against actress Rosa Blasi (Lifetime's Strong Medicine) challenged the Talent Agencies Act, the California law

The latest battle between managers and the application of California's Talent Agencies Act involves the daughter of a former president.
Patti Davis claims her former manager Judy Coppage acted as an unlicensed agent when she allegedly tried to procure screenwriting work for Davis.
Coppage, who is based in Studio City, responded to Davis' complaint with the state's labor commissioner Thursday, claiming her former client's effort to void their contract is unconstitutional.
The dispute arose from Coppage's attempt to collect $4,355.31 in small claims court after Davis allegedly refused to pay commissions for TV movie script "Sacrifices of the Heart."
Davis responded by filing a complaint with the labor commissioner.
"Ms. Davis' reaction is far from unique: though the legislature's original intention was to rightly shield those who needed statutory protection, the act is now almost uniformly used as a sword by those utilizing the statutes only to avoid paying otherwise owed and deserved commissions,...
