Queens Supreme

overview:
Queens Supreme is an American courtroom dramedy television series which aired on CBS in January 2003. The series starred Oliver Platt in his first major television role as New York judge Jack Moran who, with his equally eccentric and colorful as colleagues, preside over court cases as the real-life Queens Supreme Court in Long Island City, Queens. The series had a strong cast and considerable financial backing, especially from Julia Roberts's Shoelace Productions, Spelling Television and Revolution Studios, however poor ratings forced its cancellation after three episodes.

The idea for the series came about when two New York attorneys, twin brothers Dan and Peter Thomas, were discussing courtroom stories based on their shared experiences in Queens while on a plane flight to California in 2001. One of the passengers, a Hollywood producer, was sitting next to them and mentioned that they could be the basis for a television series. Indeed, the producer brought the idea to screenwriter Kevin Fox who later successfully pitched it to CBS. Fox was initially hesitant in becoming involved, feeling there were too many courtroom dramas already, but agreed after spending time at the New York Supreme Court himself.

Carlo Varini

biography:
Carlo Varini, né le 16 août 1946 à Ascona en Suisse et mort accidentellement le 18 mai 2014 à Cathervielle, est un directeur de la photographie (chef opérateur) de longs et courts métrages, de téléfilms et de documentaires. Il est nommé au César de la meilleure photographie pour Subway et pour Le Grand bleu.

Il est né dans le Tessin, en Suisse italienne, où il a grandi et découvert à l'adolescence les ciné-clubs et avec eux les films de Rossellini, de Godard et de Cocteau, qui l'a impressionné par son incroyable travail sur la lumière. Il fréquente en jeune spectateur le festival de Locarno dont il aimait l'ambiance euphorique.

Carlo Varini débute au cinéma en 1964 par une formation d’étalonneur dans le laboratoire Schwarz-Film à Ostermundigen (Berne). Puis il effectue des études au Filmarbeitskurs III-69 de la Kunstgewerbeschule à Zurich (1969-1970).

En 1971, il est cameraman/reporter aux actualités cinématographiques Suisses (Ciné Journal Suisse). Il est ensuite assistant, puis cadreur du directeur de la photographie Renato Berta. Ils feront ensemble une vingtaine de longs métrages.

Il est chef opérateur pour notamment Francis Reusser, Thomas Koerfer, Simon Edlestein, René Allio, Gabriel Auer, Villi Hermann et Claude Faraldo. En même temps, il tourne des courts-métrages comme chef opérateur.

Lors d’une coproduction avec la France, il rencontre Luc Besson, qui est stagiaire régisseur, et qui lui propose, quelque temps plus tard, de tourner son premier long métrage: Le Dernier Combat sorti en 1983. Ils feront trois longs métrages ensemble.

Carlo Varini quitte la Suisse pour s'installer à Paris depuis 1978, il obtient la nationalité française. Il enseigne dans des ateliers à La Fémis l'utilisation de la lumière. Il intervient également à Ciné-Sup, au lycée Guist'Hau de Nantes. Il est membre de l'Association française des directeurs de la photographie cinématographique (AFC).

Il meurt dans la nuit du 18 mai 2014 à Cathervielle (Haute-Garonne) en sautant d’une maison en proie aux flammes. Le film Repas de famille de Pierre-Henry Salfati avec les Chevaliers du Fiel sur lequel il était directeur de la photographie lui est dédié.
