A League of Their Own Reimagining Gets Series Order at Amazon
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
OK, we’ll allow a little bit of crying in baseball. Just this once.
Amazon announced today that it has officially picked up to series its previously announced reboot of A League of Their Own. The project was created by Abbi Jacobson (Broad City) and Will Graham (Mozart in the Jungle) and will “reimagine” the 1992 baseball film directed by Penny Marshall. Jacobson will also star. The announcement came along with a first look at some new characters.
“Will and Abbi have taken a classic movie, reimagining it for a new generation with new characters and their own fresh, modern vision on a timeless story of big dreams, friendship, love, and, of course, baseball,” said Vernon Sanders, Co-Head of Television, Amazon Studios. We’re so excited to partner with Sony to bring this emotional, exciting new series to our Prime Video customers around the world.”
1992’s A League of Their Own told a fictionalized account of a real all-women baseball league. The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) was founded in 1943 when America’s involvement in World War II meant that male professional baseball players were drafted or volunteered to serve in the war effort. The film starred Geena Davis, Madonna, Rosie O’Donnell, and Lori Petty as baseball players, and Tom Hanks as their reluctant manager. In 2012, the Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry.
Amazon’s reboot will be an hour-long series and will take a fresh approach to the original film’s concept. The series will take place in the AAGPBL but will feature a new cast of characters. The show will also take a deeper look at race and sexuality, per the streamer.
“28 years ago, Penny Marshall told us a story about women playing professional baseball that up until then had been largely overlooked,” said Graham and Jacobson. “We grew up obsessed with the film, like everyone else. Three years ago, we approached Sony with the idea of telling a new, still overlooked set of those stories. With the help of an enormously talented team of collaborators, an amazing cast, and the devoted support of Amazon to this project, we feel beyond lucky and excited to get to bring these characters to life. It took grit, fire, authenticity, wild imagination and a crackling sense of humor for these players to achieve their dreams. We’re hoping to bring audiences a story with all of those qualities.”
In addition to Jacobson, the cast of A League of Their Own will be made up of Chanté Adams, D’Arcy Carden, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Kelly McCormack, Roberta Colindrez, and Priscilla Delgado. Molly Ephraim, Kate Berlant, and Melanie Field are set to recur.
No release date has been announced yet for A League of Their Own but fingers-crossed it arrives in time for a (full) baseball season.

PENTA DAILY How Grandparents Wisely Pay Their Family’s Education Fidelity Investments, Wells Fargo Private Bank offer advice on how not to bungle a well-intended educational gift. ByAbby Schultz June 6, 2017 12:56 p.m. ET ILLUSTRATION: GETTY IMAGES If you are a grandparent, chances are you want to help your sons or daughters shoulder their children’s tuition costs that can easily reach $250,000 for each child, just for four years of college. If your children are being honest, they often need the help, but too often parents and grandparents shyly wait for the other to initiate the conversation. It’s understandable. Grandparents don’t want to intrude and children don’t want to beg. Kevin Ruth, head of wealth planning and personal trust at Fidelity Investments’ Private Wealth Management, suggests that the naming ceremony of an infant grandchild, or some other rite-of-passage occasion, is the ideal time to bring up funding education in addition to gifting that $1,400 Bugaboo stroller. Complex or potentially fraught discussions go over best at happy times, and that’s when you can easily slip in, “So, there was another present I want to talk with you about.” But, before you do, get clear in your own mind what you are prepared to offer. Do you want to pay for everything, just room and board, or something in between? Also be sensitive to how you might inadvertently trigger dormant rivalries better left slumbering. If, for example, your son has one child but your daughter has three, how can you be fair to both families? Ruth says its best to be upfront about the issue and invite your children, at the right time, to say what they think. One solution? Give the same amount, say $500,000, to each family,for the parents to disperse for education and related expenses – as they see fit. This effort to invite your children’s input into the gifting process is no small thing. Money can be used as a tool of control, especially in wealthier families. Ruth recalls a client who set up a $10 million trust to pay for secondary education through graduate school for his own grandchildren as well as the grandchildren of his two brothers. It was an extraordinary offer, made humbly, at a family gathering. The problem: One brother was deeply insulted by the implication he wasn’t successful enough to pay for his own grandchildren’s education, and curtly said, “No thanks.” The other brother was thrilled – and accepted the generous gift as it was intended. There are other ways tone-deaf grandparents can inadvertently bungle their generously-intended gifts. In particular, grandparents who don’t bring the topic up when the grandchildren are young have to recognize that as college approaches, their children will probably have put money aside to pay for the schooling themselves. They may even have a plan, say, to pay 75% of all expenses and to require their children to work or take out loans to cover the rest. “That could be core to what they are trying to teach their children,” says Katherine Dean, national director of family dynamics at Wells Fargo Private Bank. “You have to collaborate, so there’s not a miss.” One way to ensure this doesn’t happen is to open a discussion with your children around shared values. Recently Dean worked with a grandmother who wanted to pay tuition for her six grandchildren. With Dean’s guidance, the grandmother first contacted her sons and their wives separately to give them an idea of what she was thinking. Then Dean brought the families together for a “values experiences” talk that gave everyone a chance to reveal their key values, and allowed the grandmother to share why education topped her list. The session allowed her to take the time to step back and explain, Dean says, “not just write a check.” Of course, on a more practical note, gifting large sums for education is also a useful way to reduce the value (and taxes) of your estate. Federal law allows you to give $14,000 to each of your children a year, $28,000 for a couple, before a federal gift tax of 40% kicks in. But 529 college-savings plans allow you to front-load five years of annual gifts at once, which comes to a total of $140,000 per couple. Rules for 529 plans differ by state, but generally, they provide flexibility, tax advantages, and control. You can, for example, decide when the proceeds are disbursed. There are other savings vehicles to consider, including custodial accounts via the Uniform Gift to Minors Act or Uniform Transfer to Minors Act, although funds saved in these investment accounts become the child’s at age 18 or 21 and don’t have to be used for college. The ultra-wealthy often use an irrevocable trust with generation-skipping provisions, known as a dynasty trust. That’s the structure the generous brother used with Fidelity’s guidance to create an educational fund for his extended family. The taxes on distributions from these trusts are paid by the beneficiary. You can also dispense with setting up trusts by paying the tuition bill directly to the university. A $50,000 check written to Stanford instead of your grandchild isn’t considered a gift, so you won’t trigger a transfer tax, but be warned that the gift exclusion doesn’t apply to room and board. Our point: The best strategy is always to have the college-tuition conversation early on, as your grandchildren first embark on life. If your intent is to invest in college-savings vehicles, for example, getting an early start gives your funds more time to grow tax free, and early talks allow you to get a jump on flagging education as an important family value. And what better family gift is there than that? EDUCATION FAMILIES FINANCE WEALTH MANAGEMENT Please sign up to comment on Barron's blogs. MOST POPULAR General Electric: A Fantastic Asset?
