Exclusive: Alec Baldwin is to explore the fall of the one of the oldest, and most revered, galleries in New York City in a new true-crime podcast series.
Baldwin will narrate Art Fraud, an eight-part series from his El Dorado Pictures and Cavalry Audio in partnership with iHeartRadio, that tells the story of The Knoedler.
It marks the first major project for the actor since the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed in October in on-set shooting of a prop gun being held by Baldwin, the film’s star and producer.
Art Fraud is written by Michael Shnayerson and based on his Vanity Fair article that chronicles the fall The Knoedler Gallery. In operation since 1846 and home to some of the city’s greatest artists, the gallery’s fortune changed the moment an unassuming woman walked through the door with a canvas under her arm allegedly painted...

“Since studios keep making remakes, why don’t they at least remake them better?” Billy Wilder had a right to ask me that question 20 years ago, since the many remakes of his movies never matched the originals.
The Wilder conundrum seems relevant today when the studios and streamers are announcing more and more remakes. Paramount says it’s developing Love Story, Flashdance and The Parallax View, among others. It is not remaking The Godfather, which went into production 50 years ago. But there are two projects in the works about the making of the movie, and there also is Francis Coppola’s refreshed Godfather III, made in 1990 and re-edited by Coppola now out under his preferred title Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone.
While I share Wilder’s skepticism about the remake business, a case could be made that the entire gangster genre deserves a revisit.

Michael Shnayerson investigates the Knoedler gallery’s David Herbert collection forgery scandal in the May issue of Vanity Fair. Touted as one of the great troves of unknown Abstract Expressionist works, the collection instead brought scandal to Knoedler, one of the world’s best-known art galleries and a New York institution, which shut its doors last November amid allegations it sold forgeries, including the threat of a lawsuit from Pierre Lagrange, a London hedge-fund executive.

Featuring: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Bo Webb, Maria Gunnoe, Michael Shnayerson, Joe Lovett, Bill Raney, Dr. Allen Hershkowitz, Jennifer Hall-Massey, Ed Wiley, Chuck Nelson and Don Blankenship
Director Bill Haney’s trenchant, impassioned documentary “The Last Mountain” chronicles a David and Goliath-like confrontation in Appalachia’s Coal River Valley precipitated by the 2000 election of President Bush. Since then, Coal River Valley has been ground zero in the battle between ordinary West Virginia citizens and the rapacious ploys of Massey Energy, the nation’s third-largest coal-mining corporation.
The documentary examines how, after the Bush administration altered the wording in the Clean Water Act, Massey Energy proceeded with a campaign to dynamite and raze the ecologically fragile Appalachian ranges for the extraction of coal. Over the ensuing decade, the company racked up 60,000 health and environmental violations.

The nightmare began in August with Blaster, a new kind of virus, which infected computers through their Internet connections, without e-mails or attachments, replicated on its own, and may have played a role in the recent blackout in the U.S. Northeast. A week later, things got worse: the sixth version of SoBig,a virus more sophisticated and cunning each time it appeared, was programming innocentcomputers to an unknown sinister end. In Finland, Michael Shnayerson learns how a ponytailed virus hunter, Mikko Hypponen, raced to defuse the threat—and how lethal these cyber-plagues can be.

Wall Street bonuses, those annual astronomical bounties, are a thing of the past for a new breed of banker called the Zero, a name chosen for the amount of money, in addition to their salary, these employees will be receiving. “Even though employees will receive roughly the same amount of money, the psychological blow of not getting a bonus is substantial, especially in a Wall Street culture that has long equated success and prestige with bonus size,” The New York Times reports. “It’s a real headache,” an unidentified senior banker told the Times. “We’ll throw $20,000 or $25,000 at each of the Zeros so they’re not discouraged.” As typical pre-financial-crisis bonuses for even mid-level employees were often in the $200,000 range, this means the Zeros will still endure tens of thousands of dollars of emotional trauma. Relief will surely come as soon as Republican lawmakers figure out a way to...
