Juno Temple Grabs a Spiked Bat in First “Fargo” Season 5 Teaser
Juno Temple has taken on a vastly different role from her lovable Ted Lasso character in Keeley Jones in the upcoming fifth season of Fargo. FX has revealed a new teaser for their deliciously demented anthology series, and it reveals Temple as Dorothy “Dot” Lyon, a seemingly typical Midwestern housewife who’s made some questionable decisions in her past, a past she’s tried to outrun. This being Fargo, her past is bound to not only catch up with her but surround her in the most intrusive way possible.
Talking to Emmy-Nominated Ewan McGregor About Splitting Himself for his Fargo Dual Roles
For years, Ewan McGregor yearned to play a role that required complete physical transformation, but the timing couldn’t have been worse when Fargo creator Noah Hawley asked the svelte actor to grow a beer belly. “I had a jawline that you could cut paper on and I’d never been so fit in my life,” laughs McGregor, who remembers returning to Los Angeles in top physical condition after shooting “Trainspotting 2” in his native Scotland.
Extreme Contrast: DP Shoots FX’s Fargo and Legion
Calgary-based cinematographer Craig Wrobleski happened to be in the right place at the right time four years ago when the makers of FX series Fargo came calling with an urgent request. "At the end of their first season, it was an intense schedule and they needed someone to help shoot some second unit stuff in Alberta," he says. "I live south of Calgary and had just finished another show, so they asked me to do some establishing shots."
Fargo Song Picker Finds Obscure Gems to Underscore Quirky Criminality
It was weird enough that bleakly funny Minnesota noir series Fargo (Wednesdays on FX through June) kicked off its third season last month with an eight-minute interrogation set in Cold War East Berlin. Adding to the strangeness was the spooky recording of of an ancient Russian folk song performed by the Ural Cossacks Choir, which played throughout the scene. Maggie Phillips, the artist-turned song picker who supervises music selections for the series,
Ewan McGregor Sees Double in First Trailer for Fargo Season 3
We’ve been waiting for a glimpse of Fargo Season 3 ever since we got a load of this season’s sensational cast. The marquee addition was Ewan McGregor, who will be playing twin brothers Ray and Emimitt Stussy (each with different accents and having lead very different lives). Then there’s Scoot McNairy, playing a sketchy pal of Ray’s. Finally, we were super pumped about the inclusion of David Thewlis, playing the dentally challenged villain V.
Emmy Watch: How Fargo Production Designer Re-Created ’70s Prairie Noir
Coming off 18 Emmy nominations and three wins in 2014, Fargo posed a frosty challenge to production designer Warren Alan Young as he tackled the limited series' second season. (They announce the nominees for this year’s Emmy Awards at 11:30 a.m. EST.) For the show, set in wintry 1979 Minnesota and filmed in Calgary, Young needed to conjure period-perfect storefronts, kitchens, cars and diners tailored precisely to creator Noah Hawley’s prairie noir vision. "Noah wanted us to create a world that looked,
“People are Losing Their Minds” in the New Fargo Season 2 Trailer
Welcome to Luverne, Minnesota, in 1979, where the folksy accent and winter hats with ear flaps makes everyone seem nice; but don’t trust their bright, friendly patter or their puffy winter gear, because Luverne is the setting for season two of Fargo. The first full length trailer is here and there is a whole lot going on, including an insanely promising cast, a murder in a diner, and a surprisingly excellent Richard Nixon impression. (For an in-depth looking on how the show is scored,
Feeling the Music of Fargo With Composer Jeff Russo
You would have been excused for wondering how in the world the folks behind FX's Fargo were going to take a classic Coen Brothers film and turn it into a viable television series. The challenge of adapting something beloved is hard enough when what you're adapting is a book, but to take an award winning and critically acclaimed film and turn it into a television series? That takes guts.

Polar Vortex Film List: Behind-the-Chill of Some Seriously Cold Films
It's been stupidly, horrendously cold outside. It was 5 degrees in New York yesterday morning. It’s a balmy 9 degrees at the moment. And New York has it easy. You need a Tauntuan and several layers of Gortex to get around if you live in the Midwest. Around 500 people got stuck on three Amtrak trains in Illinois on Monday thanks to the polar vortex. And what a name—the polar vortex included a The Day After Tomorrow–
