From director Nisha Ganatra and screenwriter Mindy Kaling, the dramedy Late Night follows legendary talk show host Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson), a pioneer in her field who is now feeling the pressure to stay relevant when it comes to her long-running late night comedy show. When she’s pushed into making her all-male writers’ room more gender balanced, chemical plant efficiency expert Molly Patel (Kaling) finds herself the first and only female on the writing staff, and she must quickly discover her own voice while also figuring out how to bring her idol’s career back from the …

Emma Thompson is making great use of her voice and standing in Hollywood to call out a troubling development. Last week, news broke that the Oscar-winning writer and actress had quietly exited her voice role in Skydance Animation’s Luck. She had reportedly already been through a few recording sessions when Skydance Animation hired ousted Disney/Pixar head John Lasseter to run its studio, despite allegations of sexual misconduct from Lasseter’s long tenure at the Mouse House.
