Some screen icons don't need an introduction. Hulu's new crime thriller “Furious” opens with a familiar image that instantly says “New York”: the original blue-and-white Anthora coffee cup. With its distinctive Greek-inspired design, the cup has become Hollywood's favorite visual shortcut for the city, appearing in countless films and television productions over the decades. Starring Emmy Rossum as FBI agent Alice Black, “Furious” follows a gripping investigation into a calculating serial killer, with early reviews praising its sharp writing, compelling performances, and gritty New York atmosphere.
For us, one of the real stars of the opening scene is the Anthora cup itself.
