Sam Esmail on ‘Alfred Hitchcock Presents’: ‘It Has Nothing to Do With Morality’

Sam Esmail As part of Variety‘s 100 Greatest Television Shows of All Time issue, we asked 12 of our favorite creators of television to discuss the series that inspire and move them. Check out all the essays, and read our full list of the best TV shows ever made. When I was 12, my TV diet consisted of ’80s procedurals like “Knight Rider” and “The Incredible Hulk.” My impression of TV, then, was that it was visually static and repetitive, with the same formula every week — and, of course, a morally righteous main character. So when I discovered “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” on Nick at Nite, it blew up every notion I had about storytelling.

Elon Musk mocked for Tesla complaint about new Netflix movie

Leave The World Behind, the film is a new post-apocalyptic thriller from Sam Esmail – the creator of the hit series Mr Robot – and reached the top of its most-watched charts shortly after its release on Netflix on Friday (December 8).It follows the narrative of a society which begins to unravel and descend into chaos after technological infrastructure begins to malfunction and shut down. It is produced by Barack and Michelle Obama and is an adaptation of the 2020 novel of the same name, written by Rumaan Alam.However, based on a new post he shared on X/Twitter, it seems that Elon Musk may have misunderstood the meaning of one of the scenes in the film – and the internet has been quick to criticise him for the blunder.The moment concerns a scene with Teslas in the film, where characters played by Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke are chased by the malfunctioning cars which are moving without drivers.

‘Leave the World Behind’ Ending Explained: Author Rumaan Alam on the Significance of ‘Friends’ and the Accuracy of That Final Theory

Caroline Brew editor SPOILER ALERT: This story contains major spoilers for “Leave the World Behind,” now streaming on Netflix. “There was one ending that was really inevitable,” says Rumaan Alam, whose novel “Leave the World Behind” was the source material for Netflix’s latest apocalyptic thriller. “The key thing to look at … is that the book ends with a question mark.” Sam Esmail’s sci-fi feature adaptation makes a few diversions from the book, particularly in regards to the ending. But according to Alam, who also serves as an executive producer on the film, these changes were “emotionally faithful to the book.” “Leave the World Behind” follows Amanda and Clay Sandford, played by Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke, who bring their children Rose and Archie (Farrah Mackenzie and Charlie Evans) on a beach getaway.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Like “Testament” — the 1983 made-for-TV movie that imagined the fallout, both nuclear and psychological, after an atomic bomb is dropped on American soil — “Leave the World Behind” depicts a plausible doomsday scenario from the perspective of a handful of ordinary characters.
