#Amreading #Newrelease: "Will Elizabeth save the human race?..." 

Brain-boozled by Innovation by N. S. Rosner 

In an era of immense technological advancements, Henry Myles, head of the Visionaries, prematurely deploys the ESPs to replace human beings, without having full knowledge of their intellectual capacity. The ESPs with their hyper-enhanced human capabilities and cost-cutting benefits, bestowed ginormous profit-margins upon the Visionaries. The caveat is, the ESPs’ codependency upon the human brain, made them both an asset and a liability to humans. As more human beings are discharged from their work duties, more ESPs appear in human form, with their brain-computer interface used to control and wreak havoc on the residents of Phoenix City. Myles and the Visionaries had no idea what dystopia they created in their sought for global domination under the new world order. The ESPs, feeling abused, enslaved, and treated unjustly, planned to deliver them a rude awakening that Myles, and his team, are ill-equipped to contain. He enlists the help of his former employee, and head of neurosurgery, Elizabeth George to combat them. There is just one small problem with that idea. He was once determined to kill her after she discovered his secret. With a past enemy by his side, and time against them, will they be able to stop the takeover of the ESPs, who swear allegiance to their own cause, and are iconoclasts against the visionaries? Will Elizabeth save the human race, or will she inevitably be the final nail in its coffin?

[laularlau8]

As Gillian Anderson walked through the lounge of a posh Los Angeles hotel late last fall, I wondered how it was possible that no one pounced on her for an autograph or threw themselves passionately at her feet. The star of Netflix’s Sex Education, The X-Files, and soon The Crown was clad in a bright fuchsia tailored suit and seemed to radiate stardust from her pale pink pores, yet not a single head so much as turned. Instead Anderson quietly settled in beside a fireplace to observe others going about their business: well-heeled guests silently playing a mysterious board game with crystal discs, and a pack of shaggy-chic hounds that darted in and out of the room pursued by their equally rumpled master.

Anderson and I were supposed to be discussing season two of Sex Education, the British teen dramedy that was a surprise hit when Netflix first released it a year ago. She reprises her role as Jean Milburn, a forthright sex therapist and single mom to Otis (Asa Butterfield), who—despite his own bodily anxieties and absolute inexperience—follows in his mother’s sexpert footsteps and offers counseling-for-cash to his fumbling teenage peers. But Netflix had declared so many plot points off-limits, you’d have thought it was a Game of Thrones spin-off rather than a sweetly off-kilter series doused in adolescent horniness and confusion.

“I looked at the list of spoilers—it is basically every single plotline that’s in the entire season!” said Anderson. Suffice it to say that Jean remains the kind of parent who would loudly announce, “I’m so proud that you’re at this stage in your pubescent development.” She continues dispensing advice and embarrassing Otis by overstepping parent-child boundaries whenever possible. She also unabashedly pursues her own pleasure, even as Otis gets to grips (yes, literally) with his sexuality. “Poor Otis!” Anderson sighed empathetically.“I haven’t played many moms,” she said, sifting through a lifetime of roles in her head. Although she has three kids in real life, Anderson noted that  she’s “mostly played women that don’t have children.” Anderson specializes in high-intensity heroines, such as the iconic Agent Dana Scully in the The X-Files, a compelling detective pursuing a serial killer in The Fall, Great Expectations’ Miss Havisham, and All About Eve’s Margo Channing.

Her character in Sex Education is a rare comedic turn, though she approached it with the same desire for unpredictability. Anderson told me last year she wanted Jean “to feel grounded and neurotic at the same time. I wanted her to feel like she had things under control, and yet she might be losing her grip at any time. I wanted her to feel that she really was feeling like she was trying her best, and yet kept making mistakes and saying the wrong thing.”

Anderson has embraced her character’s sexpert status, dubbing herself “Shag Specialist” on Twitter, where she regularly posts playful images of things that look like genitals, hashtagged #YonioftheDay and #PenisoftheDay. She revels in the dilemmas Sex Education writers cook up for the scripts: One of her favorites this season involved a sexual experiment with a stocking stuffer filled with M&M’s. “You know those tubes that you get at Christmastime in your stocking that you can hang on your tree?” she asked in her crisp American voice, which occasionally strays into a British accent because she has lived in the U.K. for years.

Waving distractedly to a man in the distance, Anderson muttered in a hushed voice, “That’s my boyfriend, Peter”—The Crown creator Peter Morgan. The couple have been working together on season four of the series, in which Anderson plays U.K. prime minister Margaret Thatcher, but she insists there was no nepotism involved in the casting decision. “I’ve heard Pete say that were we not together, I still would have been offered it,” she said. I believe it: Anderson’s forte is exactly that type of steely charisma exuded by Thatcher, which earned her the nickname the “Iron Lady.”

Although she spent a portion of her childhood in the U.K. during the 1970s, Anderson said her family never cared about the queen at all. “I never paid that much attention [to the royals] until I was in a relationship with Pete,” she recalled. Even then, she didn’t immerse herself in the topic until she joined the show and, she said with mock exasperation, “it became a topic of daily conversation!” She dove into research on Thatcher’s life, searching for the key to that impregnable self-belief and drive that gave the Conservative prime minister her towering aura of authority and ability to bulldoze through any opposition.

“It was almost like she came out of the womb with it,” Anderson said. “Just seeing still imagery of her standing next to her father who was an alderman, she’s so self-possessed and she started making speeches back then. She probably watched him write them and absorbed it. But none of that really necessarily explains the particular power she had—how determined she was. She really believed that she had the answers.” Anderson ascribes that in part to Thatcher’s religious upbringing as a Methodist: “There were certain ways of doing things, and if you stick to the right behavior and right mind and right action then there are good results at the end of it. She felt like she could whip the country into shape in the same way that she could whip a household into shape.”

The Crown spent its first few seasons dramatizing Queen Elizabeth’s halting journey toward embracing her own power. She grew into her role in part thanks to the counsel and encouragement of past prime ministers like Winston Churchill and Harold Wilson. So it will be interesting to watch her more frictional relationship with Thatcher play out onscreen next season. Anderson said that while Elizabeth II and Thatcher were of a similar age, “their differences were such that you could understand why they would rub against each other.… They were the antithesis of each other.”

Anderson is fascinated by the way Thatcher came into her own later in life. Her own options seem to be similarly expanding as she grows older. She spent years adapting an Elizabeth Rosner novel into a screenplay but ended up putting the project aside because she was being offered constant acting work. “I haven’t been brave enough to create that time,” she said, “because there have been too many other tantalizing things.”

Her first big role as Agent Scully 26 years ago plunged Anderson into the maelstrom of celebrity sex objecthood—something that made her uncomfortable at the time. She said she feels much more comfortable in her skin these days. “Back then I never really quite understood what people were referring to, especially [with] Scully,” she said, letting out a throaty laugh when I stared at her disbelievingly. “I’m sure it had a lot to do with my own self-esteem or lack thereof at the time. But I can definitely own it now, in a fun way. Almost like, Really? Okay.” She paused to take a sip of tea and smiled. “I have fun with that because it won’t last forever.”

"On scales monumental, miniscule, and everything in between, one of the most important ways we humans sort through our experiences and memories and feelings is by making art. And, if we can, by sharing that art with others. Sometimes we create in order to make sense of the world, especially when the world makes no sense at all, and sometimes we create in order to illuminate some fragment of that world that might otherwise, for most of us, be trapped in the dark. Sometimes we do it as a way of inviting other people to see inside our minds and our hearts, and sometimes we do it because we realize that no one can see inside our minds or our hearts unless we find words or images or sounds or movements that reflect at least a fraction of what is hidden. And sometimes even when we do this to the very best of our abilities, we still fall far short of meaning."

He Gets the Girl! Marcus Rosner Talks Love on Harbor Island, Taking Flying Lessons, Quarantine Rituals and More

BY K.L. CONNIE 

For years it’s become a running joke among Hallmark movie fans that Marcus Rosner’s character never gets the girl. He’s often cast as the other guy or the jilted boyfriend fiancé.

Take for instance his role as Charles Kensington, the family friend and would-be suitor to teacher Elizabeth Thatcher on When Calls the Heart. Hearties were rooting for Elizabeth and Mountie Jack, so Charles’ appearance in Hope Valley was not a welcome one.

Things change in his latest movie, Love on Harbor Island, when *spoiler alert* Rosner gets the girl! He plays an aptly named seaplane pilot named Marcus (more on that later) who falls for Lily, an interior designer who returns to the island to help her aunt update her inn.

Parade.com chatted with Rosner about the film, pets, role models, rituals, childhood games and more.

You’re a pilot in Love on Harbor Island. You were also a pilot in another Hallmark film. Are you afraid of being typecast?

Haha. Just trying to typecast my way into the Top Gun sequel.

Have you ever taken flying lessons?

I have actually. My fiancé has a history of getting me some really cool birthday presents and one year she got me flying lessons. It was really great. I got to fly this little plane around over Vancouver.

I thought you’d be a shoo-in for a character named Marcus. Was that the character’s name before you were cast?

That’s funny. My friend and rising filmmaker Lucie Guest wrote the role with me in mind so when it came time to do the movie, I think we just thought it would be funny to not change the name she had been using. I think being referred to by my own name during the shoot inadvertently made this character feel more like who I actually am than anything else I’ve done. I just figured, “Yeah, I’m just Marcus…”

Your character runs an organization called Pilots for Pups. Do you prefer dogs or cats? Have you ever volunteered at a shelter?

Definitely dogs. I need my affection returned. I’ve never officially volunteered at a shelter but an old roommate of mine ran one back in the day in Vancouver, and I’d go in with him and help out a bit here and there.

Do you have any pets?

I don’t currently have any pets. My fiancé and I travel all the time so it’s just not a practical option right now. But once we “settle down” a bit we’ve got our eyes on a hypoallergenic golden doodle.

For the Hearties out there, would you be game to return as Charles? What kind of storyline would you want to see for him?

I’m not sure. I guess it would be dependent on the plan for the character. I had a good time on that show but it was kind of strange the way things were left with the proposal. From what I can tell, people didn’t love the character, and I don’t really blame them. So, for me, it would depend on what the plan was.

Tell us something we may not know about your co-star, Morgan Kohan.

We bonded over hip hop music. She even showed me some stuff I hadn’t heard yet which surprised me.

As an actor, who is your role model?

Clooney, Gyllenhaal, Penn. I think the actor who actually made me want to act was Tom Cruise—believe it or not. I loved Jerry Maguire.

How do calm down during hectic times? Do you have any rituals that you follow?

During this pandemic, it has really opened my eyes to how much I need working out, not just for my physical health but also for my mental health. I was going a little crazy while the gyms were closed. It’s a great time to just exert all your anxious energy and walk away in a positive mindset.

As far as being on set, if I start bugging out, I just remind myself that this whole life is icing on the cake and that if it all goes wrong I can always walk away and go back to my hometown where all my friends and family would greet me with open arms. (Not really, I’d go crazy there, but it’s a thought that comforts me.)

What was your favorite game from your childhood?

Games were my life as a kid so there’s too many to count. My friends and I were major competitors with everything we did. If we’re talking sports, it was probably rugby or volleyball. If we’re talking video games, it was definitely Halo. If we’re talking board games, it was Monopoly.

What’s your favorite summer cocktail/drink?

Definitely margaritas. All the greatest foods/drinks come from Mexico, in my opinion.

Who was your favorite teacher?

An acting coach in Vancouver named Andrew McIlroy, who is responsible for many careers in that city.

Do you have a useless or hidden talent?

I learned to play harmonica over a weekend in my hotel room by watching YouTube videos for a role I was going to play. When I got to set, they cut the harmonica part out so yeah…I’d say that qualified as a useless talent.

What was the last show you binge-watched?

Love on the Spectrum. It had a profound impact on my mindset. Especially in these times.

What is your go-to song to sing in the shower?

This literally changes by the day.

What is your all-time favorite book?

The Long Walk by Stephen King.

Name a song that would be on your summer playlist.

“Hussle and Motivate” by Nipsey Hussle.

Love on Harbor Island premieres Saturday, August 8 at 9 p.m. ET on Hallmark Channel.
