It's magazine day at THR, with Fences stars Denzel Washington and Viola Davis sitting for an expansive talk with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on race and family in the Trump era. Plus: An in-depth look at the President-elect's Treasury secretary pick Steven Mnuchin, Jamie Foxx plans a Marvin Gaye limited series, and is Amazon TV going global? — Matthew Belloni, Erik Hayden and Jennifer Konerman.

On the cover: NBA legend and cultural commentator Kareem Abdul-Jabbar gets a byline for his discussion with Fences' Denzel Washington and Viola Davis. A few quotes:

► Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on August Wilson's play: "Here we are 30 years after that first production, 60 years after the play's setting, still frustratingly aware that black Americans are stuck on the social and political treadmill."

► Denzel Washington on directing Fences: "Scorsese probably could have directed Schindler's List and Spielberg probably could have directed Goodfellas. But it's as much to do with the difference in culture as it is with race."

► Viola Davis on "black life" in the film: "I think sometimes what people miss about black people is that we’re complicated, that we are indeed messy, that we do our best with what we’ve been given. We come into the world exactly like you. It’s just that there are circumstances in the culture that are dictated and put on our lives that we have to fight against."

'Rogue One' Writer's Reshoot $$$

Tony Gilroy, who was brought in to rewrite and help oversee reshoots for the Gareth Edwards-directed Star Wars film, will pocket north of $5 million for his efforts, Borys Kit finds:

Gilroy, writer of several Bourne movies and director of best picture Oscar nominee Michael Clayton, first was brought in to help write dialogue and scenes for Rogue’s reshoots and was being paid $200,000 a week, according to several sources.

That figure is fairly normal for a top-tier writer on a big-budget studio film. But as the workload (and the reshoots) expanded, so did Gilroy's time and paycheck.

Gilroy started on Rogue One in June, and by August, he was taking a leading role with Edwards in postproduction, which lasted well into the fall. The reshoots are said to have tackled several issues in the film, including the ending.

Lucasfilm has no plans for Rogue One sequel. President Kathleen Kennedy broke the news in Empire mag, explaining that no matter how well the first standalone Star Wars performs at the box office, there won't be a follow-up. ↲
