I love the quote in the tweets that said Parenthood unlocks a love you never know you could have. Blinding love...so so true.
It's a great quote but I think Chris already played that in Gifted. I'm not sure how Frank could have loved Mary any more if she was his biological daughter. I wish they never cut that scene out with him fighting with his mother when she tells him he doesn't know what it's like to lose a child and he says he does - Mary is his child (even though that */* Evelyn denies him that)
Filmed in Leominster and Worcester, ‘Defending Jacob’ with Chris Evans due for April premiere
Chris Evans wowed us as Captain America in “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame,” kept us guessing as a spoiled playboy hated by his own family in “Knives Out,” and had us howling on Super Bowl Sunday in Hyundai’s “Smaht Pahk” television spot.
And in April, he will show off another side of his acting chops, playing an assistant district attorney dealing with his teenage son being accused of murder, in “Defending Jacob.”
Besides featuring the acting talents of Evans, Michelle Dockery (of “Downton Abbey” fame playing Evans’ wife and mother of the accused) and Jaeden Martell (of “It” fame playing their son), “Defending Jacob” was shot in Worcester and Leominster, as well as other locations in Massachusetts.
Apple has announced that the eight-episode series “Defending Jacob” will premiere its first three episodes exclusively on Apple TV+ starting April 24, with new episodes premiering weekly thereafter, on Fridays.
In April, a bearded Evans was spotted on a closed set in Worcester, shooting a scene coming out of the archway of the old Come Play Products building on Suffolk Street and chilling between scenes at Vincent’s, across the street. Another scene, minus Evans, was shot the same day at 7 Ingleside Ave.
Reportedly, in June, film crews also shot scenes for “Defending Jacob” in the Richmond Avenue neighborhood of Worcester.
And Evans was spotted again in July in the Monument Square area of downtown Leominster, reportedly shooting a scene at C&M Pizza.
It has been a good run for Evans in recent years.
Best known for playing Captain America in three Captain America movies and four Avengers movies, Evans was also in the 2019 whodunit sleeper hit “Knives Out” (which has grossed $293 million worldwide to date against a $40 million budget) and the Sudbury native was also in the hilarious Boston-centric Super Bowl commercial with Lexington native Rachel Dratch, both marveling at Boston native John Krasinski’s ability to “smarht pahk” his Hyundai Sonata in a tight spot without even being in it.
“Defending Jacob” is based on the 2012 New York Times best-selling novel of the same name by William Landay.
"The movie came to life every time you were on the screen." Stan Lee to Chris Evans.
Apple TV+ will be backing “Defending Jacob,” relying on stars Michelle Dockery and Chris Evans to draw extra attention to their latest original. Predicted Nominees: 1. “Watchmen” (HBO) 2. “Unbelievable” (Netflix) 3. “Fargo” (FX) 4. “Little Fires Everywhere” (Hulu) 5. “Mrs. America” (FX on Hulu) Spoilers: “Hollywood,” “I Know This Much Is True,” “Devs,” “The Eddy,” “Belgravia,” “Genius: Aretha,” “Defending Jacob,” “The Undoing,” “The Plot Against America,” “The Terror: Infamy”
Last but certainly not least, Apple TV+ will be backing “Defending Jacob,” relying on stars Michelle Dockery and Chris Evans to draw extra attention to their latest original.
Screeners were sent out of at least the first 3 episodes. I wonder if he's seen it.
This is all we get? Really Apple TV? I've got covid 19 personality disorder ( I made this up). I'm tired, I'm bitchy and I can't find any extra water. And all I get is this? Ugh

It's just a teaser. Apparently there is a proper trailer, I'm hoping within the next week.
Apple have confirmed the show will debut on 24 April as planed, however the press event/premiere has been cancelled.

That wasn't even worth putting out as a teaser. But I guess we should be happy we even got that. Thank God they are going on with the series. Thank goodness for streaming services

I don't know if they have any BIG LOTS, OLLIES, or SHEETZ where you are, but I've had good luck getting water from them. Worst part for me, has been finding distilled water for my mom's medical equipment (did find smaller bottles at a craft store!!!).
Does anyone know if people with dial up speed internet, who also lacks any apple products, will be able to watch DEFENDING JACOB on some other platform? Say good old fashioned DVD or such?

You don't need an Apple product to watch - you can do that on your PC with an app. Sorry but no other platform as of now will be playing it. Once in a very rare while Netflix puts a film on DVD/Blu ray and I assume Apple could be the same - but maybe even less b/c they have so little comparative content that they need to keep it exclusive,
