( September 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The system of reservation in India comprises a series of action measures , such as reserving access to seats in the various legislatures , to government jobs , and to enrollment in higher educational institutions . The societal inequality in India is represented by the grossly inadequate representation of Scheduled Castes , Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Castes in employment and education due to historic , societal and cultural reasons . The reservation nourishes the historically disadvantaged castes and tribes , listed as Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes by the Government of India . The reservation is undertaken to address the historic oppression , inequality and discrimination faced by those communities and to give these communities a place . It is intended to realize the promise of equality enshrined in the Constitution . However , there has been a serious debate about reservation . The Constitution prohibits untouchability under its Article 17 , and obligates the state to make special provision for the betterment of the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes , also questions whether such special provisions of reservation would not be considered discriminatory , as it would encourage caste - discrimination and caste based politics . Over the years , the categories for affirmative action have been expanded beyond the lists of Scheduled castes and tribes to include a special category of Other Backward Classes ( OBC ) . Consideration has also been given to economically backward within the community itself in providing reservations . Reservation is governed by the Constitution of India , statutory laws , and local rules and regulations . The Scheduled Castes ( SC ) , Scheduled Tribes ( ST ) and Other Backward Classes ( OBC ) , and in some states Backward Classes among Muslims under a category called BC ( M ) , are the primary beneficiaries of the reservation policies under the Constitution , the objective of which is to ensure a level playing field . There have been protests from groups outside the system who feel that it is inequitable .

Before independence ( edit ) Quota systems favouring certain castes and other communities existed before independence in several areas of British India . Demands for various forms of positive discrimination had been made , for example , in 1882 and 1891 . Shahu , the Maharaja of the princely state of Kolhapur , introduced reservation in favour of non-Brahmin and backward classes , much of which came into force in 1902 . He provided free education to everyone and opened several hostels to make it easier for them to receive it . He also tried to ensure that people thus educated were suitably employed , and he appealed both for a class - free India and the abolition of untouchability . His 1902 measures created 50 per cent reservation for backward communities . The British Raj introduced elements of reservation in the Government of India Act of 1909 and there were many other measures put in place prior to independence . A significant one emerged from the Round Table Conference of June 1932 , when the Prime Minister of Britain , Ramsay Macdonald , proposed the Communal Award , according to which separate representation was to be provided for Muslims , Sikhs , Indian Christians , Anglo - Indians , and Europeans . The depressed classes were assigned a number of seats to be filled by election from constituencies in which only they could vote , although they could also vote in other seats . The proposal was controversial : Mahatma Gandhi fasted in protest against it but many among the depressed classes , including their leader , B.R. Ambedkar , favoured it . After negotiations , Gandhi reached an agreement with Ambedkar to have a single Hindu electorate , with Dalits having seats reserved within it . Electorates for other religions , such as Islam and Sikhism , remained separate . This became known as the Poona Pact ( September 1932 ) . After independence ( edit ) India 's affirmative action programme was launched in 1950 and is the oldest such programme in the world . After the independence of India in 1947 there were some major initiatives in favour of the Scheduled Tribes ( ST ) , Scheduled Castes ( SC ) and Other Backward Classes ( OBC ) . A common form of caste discrimination in India was the practice of untouchability . SCs were the primary targets of the practice , which was outlawed by the new Constitution of India . In 1954 , the Ministry of Education suggested that 20 per cent of places should be reserved for the SCs and STs in educational institutions with a provision to relax minimum qualifying marks for admission by 5 per cent wherever required . In 1982 , it was specified that 15 per cent and 7.5 per cent of vacancies in public sector and government - aided educational institutes should be reserved for the SC and ST candidates , respectively . A significant change began in 1978 when the Mandal Commission was established to assess the situation of the socially and educationally backward classes . The commission did not have exact population figures for the OBCs and so used data from the 1931 census , thus estimating the group 's population at 52 per cent . In 1980 the commission 's report recommended that a reserved quota for OBCs of 27 per cent should apply in respect of services and public sector bodies operated by the Union Government . It called for a similar change to admissions to institutes of higher education , except where states already had more generous requirements . It was not until the 1990s that the recommendations were implemented in Union Government jobs . The Constitution of India states in article 15 ( 4 ) : `` Nothing in ( article 15 ) or in clause ( 2 ) of article 29 shall prevent the State from making any special provision for the advancement of any socially and educationally backward classes of citizens of or for the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes . '' Article 46 of the Constitution states that `` The State shall promote with special care the educational and economic interests of the weaker sections of the people , and , in particular , of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes , and shall protect them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation . '' The Supreme Court of India ruled in 1992 that reservations could not exceed 50 per cent , anything above which it judged would violate equal access as guaranteed by the Constitution . It thus put a cap on reservations . However , there are state laws that exceed this 50 per cent limit and these are under litigation in the Supreme Court . For example , in the State of Tamil Nadu the caste - based reservation stands at 69 per cent and applies to about 87 per cent of the population . Reservations in elected bodies ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( September 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In parliament , caste and tribe based reservations are provided to make it more representative ... Today , out of 543 seats in India 's parliament , 84 ( 15.47 % ) are reserved for SC / Dalits and 47 ( 8.66 % ) for ST / Tribes . Allocation of seats for Scheduled Castes and Tribes in the Lok Sabha are made on the basis of proportion of Scheduled Castes and Tribes in the State concerned to that of the total population . A similar percentage of exclusive seats has been provided for members of designated castes and tribes in each state legislature . Local self - governments have caste , tribe and gender based reservation system in place . Reservations in employment ( edit ) A fixed percentage of India 's government and public sector jobs are made exclusive for categories of people largely based on their caste or tribe . The 1992 Supreme Court ruling in the Indra Sawhney case said that reservations in job promotions are `` unconstitutional '' but allowed its continuation for five years . In 1995 , the 77th amendment to the Constitution was made to amend Article 16 before the five - year period expired to continue with reservations for SC / STs in promotions . It was further modified through the 85th amendment to give the benefit of consequential seniority to SC / ST candidates promoted by reservation . The 81st amendment was made to the Constitution to permit the government to treat the backlog of reserved vacancies as a separate and distinct group , to which the ceiling of 50 per cent did not apply . The 82nd amendment inserted a provision in Article 335 to enable states to give concessions to SC / ST candidates in promotion . The validity of all the above four amendments was challenged in the Supreme Court through various petitions clubbed together in M. Nagaraj & Others vs. Union of India & Others , mainly on the ground that these altered the Basic Structure of the Constitution . In 2006 , the Supreme Court upheld the amendments but stipulated that the concerned state will have to show , in each case , the existence of `` compelling reasons '' - which include `` backwardness '' , `` inadequacy of representation '' and overall `` administrative efficiency - before making provisions for reservation . The court further held that these provisions are merely enabling provisions . If a state government wishes to make provisions for reservation to SC / STs in promotion , the state has to collect quantifiable data showing backwardness of the class and inadequacy of representation of that class . In 2007 , the Government of Uttar Pradesh introduced reservation in job promotions . However , citing the Supreme Court decision , the policy was ruled to be unconstitutional by the Allahabad High Court in 2011 . The decision was challenged in the Supreme Court , which upheld it in 2012 by rejecting the government 's argument because it failed to furnish sufficient valid data to justify the move to promote employees on a caste basis . Reservations in education ( edit ) In India scholarships or student aid is available for -- SCs , STs , BCs , OBCs , women , Muslims , and other minorities . Only about 0.6 % of scholarships or student aid in India is based on merit , given the grossly inadequate representation of above mentioned categories in employment and education due to historic , societal and cultural reasons . The University Grants Commission ( UGC ) provides financial assistance to universities for the establishment of Special Cells for SC / STs . The cells help universities implement the reservation policy in student admission and staff recruitment processes for teaching and non-teaching jobs . They also help the SC / ST categories integrate with the university community and help remove the difficulties SC / ST individuals may have experienced . New rules implementation of UPA Government do not provide scholarship scheme and reservation quota of students and employees of colleges under central University and State University approved by the UGC . Beneficiary groups of the reservation system ( edit ) The quota system sets aside a proportion of all possible positions for members of a specific group . Those not belonging to the designated communities can compete only for the remaining positions , while members of the designated communities can compete for either reserved or open position . Seats are reserved for people under the following criteria : Caste ( edit ) In central - government funded higher education institutions , 22.5 % of available seats are reserved for Scheduled Caste ( SC ) and Scheduled Tribe ( ST ) students ( 7.5 % for STs , 15 % for SCs ) . This reservation percentage has been raised to 49.5 % by including an additional 27 % reservation for OBCs . This ratio is followed even in Parliament and all elections where a few constituencies are earmarked for those from certain communities ( which will next rotate in 2026 per the Delimitation Commission ) . The exact percentages vary from state to state : In Haryana , the reservation is 18 % for SCs and 1 % for OBCs and 0 % for STs , based on local demographics . In Tamil Nadu , the reservation is 18 % for SCs and 1 % for STs , based on local demographics . In Northeast India , especially in Arunachal Pradesh , Meghalaya , Nagaland and Mizoram , reservation for ST in State Govt . jobs is 80 % with only 20 % unreserved . In the Central Universities of NEHU ( shillong ) and Rajiv Gandhi University , 60 % of seats are reserved for ST students . In Andhra Pradesh , 29 % of educational institutes and government jobs are reserved for OBCs , 15 % for SCs , 6 % for STs . In West Bengal , 35 % of educational institute seats and government jobs are reserved for SC , ST , and OBC ( 22 % SC , 6 % ST , 7 % for OBC A & B ) . In West Bengal there is no reservation on religious basis but some economically and educationally backward Muslim castes ( basis surnames pertaining to different profession e.g. cobbler , weaver etc . ) have been included along with their Hindu counterparts in OBC list namely OBC A and OBC B , in both lists caste from both communities are there . But in higher educational institutes , till now there is no reservation for the OBC community but there is reservation in regard to admission in primary , secondary and higher secondary studies . Gender ( edit ) The Women 's Reservation Bill was passed by the Rajya Sabha on 9 March 2010 by a majority vote of 186 members in favour and 1 against . As of March 2013 , the Lok Sabha has not voted on the bill . Critics say gender can not be held as a basis for reservation alone other factors should also be considered e.g. economic , social conditions of woman candidate especially when applying reservation for educated women . There also is a growing demand for women reservation in pre-existing reservations like OBC , SC / ST , physically handicapped etc . Some groups still demand that reservation for women should be at least 50 per cent as they comprise 50 per cent of the population . In Gujarat , 33 % of posts are reserved for females in all government departments and services , such as police , health , education and general administration . Religion ( edit ) There is no reservation granted on the basis of religion in the Central educational institutions at the national level , although reservation has been extended to religious minorities in some states . The Tamil Nadu government has allotted 3.5 % of seats each to Muslims and Christians , thereby altering the OBC reservation to 23 % from 30 % ( since it excludes persons belonging to Other Backward Castes who are either Muslims or Christians ) . The Government of Andhra Pradesh introduced a law enabling 4 per cent reservations for Muslims in 2004 . This law was upheld by the Supreme Court in an interim order in 2010 but it constituted a Constitution bench to look further into the issue . The referral was to examine the constitutional validity of quotas based on religion . Kerala Public Service Commission has a quota of 12 % for Muslims . Religious minority ( Muslim or Christian ) educational institutes also have 50 % reservation for Muslim or Christian religions . The Central government has listed a number of Muslim communities as backward Muslims , making them eligible for reservation . Controversy ( edit ) The Union Government on 22 December 2011 announced establishment of a sub-quota of 4.5 % for religious minorities within the existing 27 % reservation for Other Backward Classes . The reasoning given was that Muslim communities that have been granted OBC status are unable to compete with Hindu OBC communities . It was alleged that the decision was announced as the Election Commission announced Assembly elections in five states on 24 December 2011 . The government would not have been able to announce this due to the model code of conduct . On 12 January 2012 , the Election Commission stayed implementation of this decision for violation of the model code of conduct . Later , Justice Sachar , head of the Sachar Committee that was commissioned to prepare a report on the latest social , economic and educational condition of the Muslim community of India , criticised the government decision , saying `` Such promises will not help the backward section of minorities . It is like befooling them . These people are making tall claims just to win elections '' . He suggested that instead of promising to give reservations , the government should focus on basic issues of improving administration and governance . On 28 May 2012 , the Andhra Pradesh High Court quashed the sub-quota . The court said that the sub-quota has been carved out only on religious lines and not on any other intelligible basis . The court criticised the decision : `` In fact , we must express our anguish at the rather casual manner in which the entire issue has been taken up by the central government .

( September 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Some reservations are also made for : Terrorist victims from Kashmir , e.g. in Punjab Single girl child ( in Punjab ) Migrants from the state of Jammu and Kashmir Sons / daughters / grandsons / granddaughters of Freedom Fighters Physically handicapped Sports personalities Non-Resident Indians ( NRIs ) have a small percentage of reserved seats in educational institutions . ( Note : NRI reservations were removed from IIT in 2003 ) Candidates sponsored by various organisations Those who have served in the armed forces ( ' ex-serviceman ' quota -- because the age of superannuation in the military is much shorter than that in the civil posts ; more so , certain intakes are tenure - based , e.g. the contract for Short - Service Commission is eight years ) Dependents of armed forces personnel killed - in - action Repatriates Reservation in special schools of Government Undertakings / PSUs , for the children of their own employees ( e.g. Army schools , PSU schools , etc . ) Paid pathway reservations in places of worship ( e.g. , Tirumala Venkateswara Temple , Tiruthani Murugan temple ) Seat reservation for Senior citizens and physically handicapped in public ( bus ) transport . Reservations in Andhra Pradesh ( edit ) Andhra Pradesh state percentage of reservation is = 50 % approx . 66.66 % reservations including women are applicable in Andhra Pradesh in Education and Government jobs . Scheduled Castes ( A , B , C , D ) -- 15 % Scheduled Tribes -- 6 % Backward Classes ( A , B , C , D ) -- 25 % Physically Handicapped ( Blind , Deaf & Dumb and OPH ) -- 3 % ( 1 per cent each ) Ex-servicemen ( APMS only ) -- 1 % ( 0.5 % in general ) Women - 33.33 % ( in all categories , means 16.66 % in general category ) Total % of reservations 46 % < 50 % based on caste It is quite compliant with the supreme court word of keeping caste based reservations under 50 % cap Addition of disabled , ex-serviceman , women in general category 16.66 % makes it 66.66 % School Admissions Under RTE : Though Andhra Pradesh Govt says economically backward children are admitted in to private schools under Right To Education ( RTE ) Act , but the fact is children are admitted in to private schools based on caste based reservations . check page 9 and Point no 4 of this below document The reservation for women cuts across all classes and communities and is a horizontal and not vertical reservation . As such the total % of reservations has to be counted at 50 % only ; and that is in consonance with the Supreme Court dicta that reservations in general ought not to exceed 50 % of the posts / seats if the right to equal opportunity to all without discrimination guaranteed under Article 16 is to be vindicated and respected . Reservations in Maharashtra ( edit ) Reservations in Maharashtra as of 5 March 2015 . Scheduled Castes ( SC ) ( 13 % ) Scheduled Tribes ( ST ) ( 7 % ) Other Backward Classes ( OBC ) ( 19 % ) Special Backward Classes ( SBC ) ( 2 % ) Vimukta Jati - A ( 3 % ) Nomadic Tribes - B ( 2.5 % ) Nomadic Tribes - C ( 3.5 % ) Nomadic Tribes - D ( 2 % ) General ( 48 % ) Maharashtra has 52 % reservation in educational institutions and government jobs . The government of Maharashtra added Marathas ( 16 % ) and some Muslim subcastes ( 5 % ) to the reservation in 2014 but the move was rejected by the Mumbai High Court later . If this reservation to Maratha implemented , it will leave the remaining 23 % to General / Open category . Excluded from the reservation system ( edit ) People in the following categories are not entitled to take advantage of the reservation system for OBCs : Categories for Rule of Exclusion Rule of Exclusion Applies to the following : Constitutional posts The sons and daughters of the President of India , the Vice-President of India , Judges of the Supreme Court of India , the High Courts chairman , the members of Union Public Service Commission , members of the State Public Service Commission , Chief Election Commissioner , Comptroller Auditor - General of India or any person holding positions of a constitutional nature . Service Category : Those who are considered Group ' A ' / Class I officers of the All India Central and State Services ( Direct Recruits ) or those who are considered Group ' B ' / Class II officers of The Central and State Services ( Direct Recruitment ) or those who are employees in the Public Sector . Those who have parent ( s ) that are Class I or Class II officers , or both parents are Class I or Class II officers but one of them dies or suffers permanent incapacitation . The criteria used for sons and daughters of Group A and B are the same for the employees of the Public sector . Armed forces including Paramilitary Forces ( Persons holding civil posts are not included ) . The sons and daughters of parents either or both of whom is or are in the rank of colonel and above in the army or in equivalent posts in the Navy , the Air Force , and the Paramilitary Force . But that will hold true provided that - `` the wife of an armed forces officer is herself in the armed forces ( i.e. , the category under consideration ) the rule of exclusion will apply only when she herself has reached the rank of Colonel . '' `` the service ranks below Colonel of husband and wife shall not be clubbed together '' `` if the wife of an officer in the armed forces is in civil employment , this will not be taken into account for applying the rule of exclusion unless she falls in the service category under item No. II in which case the criteria and conditions '' Professional class and those engaged in Trade and Industry If a person has a high paying job such as physician , lawyer , chartered accountant , income tax consultant , financial or management consultant , dental surgeon , engineer , architect , computer specialist , film artist or other film professional , author , playwright , sports person , sports professional , media professional or any other vocations of like status . If the husband holds one of the above jobs and the wife does n't then the husband 's income will be taken into consideration and if the wife holds one of the above jobs then the wife 's income will be taken into consideration. The income of the family as a whole will be taken into account because the whole point of the reservation system is to raise the social status of the people that belong to the SC 's , ST 's and OBCs and if a family 's income is high already it is considered that it raises their social status as well . Property owners - agricultural , plantations ( coffee , tea , rubber , etc . ) , vacant land and / or buildings in urban areas Sons and daughters of those who have irrigated land area which is equal to or more than 85 % of the statutory ceiling area will be excluded from reservation . They would only be under reservation if the land is exclusively unirrigated . Those with vacant buildings can use them for residential , industrial or commercial purposes , hence they are not covered under reservations . Creamy layer Son ( s ) / daughter ( s ) of those who earn ₹ 8 lakh ( ₹ 800,000 ) or more annually for three consecutive years are excluded from reservation . Creamy layer ( edit ) The term creamy layer was first coined in 1975 in the State of Kerala vs N.M. Thomas case when a judge said that the `` benefits of the reservation shall be snatched away by the top creamy layer of the backward class , thus leaving the weakest among the weak and leaving the fortunate layers to consume the whole cake '' . The 1992 Indra Sawhney vs Union of India judgement laid down the limits of the state 's powers : it upheld the ceiling of 50 per cent quotas , emphasised the concept of `` social backwardness '' , and prescribed 11 indicators to ascertain backwardness . The judgement also established the concept of qualitative exclusion , such as `` creamy layer '' . The creamy layer applies only to OBCs . The creamy layer criteria was introduced at Rs 1 lakh in 1993 , and revised to Rs 2.5 lakh in 2004 , Rs 4.5 lakh in 2008 and Rs 6 lakh in 2013 , but now the ceiling has been raised to ₹ 8 lakh ( in Sep. , 2017 ) . In October 2015 , the National Commission for Backward Classes ( NCBC ) proposed that a person belonging to OBC with an annual family income of up to Rs 15 lakh should be considered as minimum ceiling for OBC . The NCBC also recommended sub-division of OBCs into `` backward '' , `` more backward '' and `` extremely backward '' groups and to divide the 27 per cent quota amongst them in proportion to their population , to ensure that stronger OBCs do not corner the quota benefits . Institutions exempted from reservation ( edit ) The following institutions have been kept out of the purview of Central Educational Institutions ( Reservation in Admission ) Act , 2006 : , Homi Bhabha National Institute , Mumbai and its ten constituent units , namely : Bhabha Atomic Research Centre , Trombay Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research , Kalpakkam Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology , Indore Institute for Plasma Research , Gandhinagar Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre , Kolkata Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics , Kolkata ; Institute of Physics , Bhubaneshwar Institute of Mathematical Sciences , Chennai Harish - Chandra Research Institute , Allahabad Tata Memorial Centre , Mumbai Tata Institute of Fundamental Research , Mumbai North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences , Shillong Physical Research Laboratory , Ahmedabad Space Physics Laboratory , Thiruvananthapuram Indian Institute of Remote Sensing , Dehradun The following institutions though not specified in the Central Educational Institutions ( Reservation in Admission ) Act , 2006 : , do not have reservation in admission . Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University , Katra Birla Institute of Technology and Science , Pilani LNM Institute of Information Technology , Jaipur On 27 October 2015 the Supreme Court directed the state and the Central governments to end the regional quota and to ensure that super-speciality medical courses are kept `` unreserved , open and free '' from any domicile status after the court had allowed petitions files by some MBBS doctors . Advances under the reservations system ( edit ) The public sector jobs are divided into 4 categories : Class I ( or Group A ) , Class II ( or Group B ) , Class III ( or Group C ) and Class IV ( or Group D ) . The Class I employees take up 2.2 % of the public sector workforce , the Class II employees take up 3.3 % of the public sector workforce , the Class III employees take up 66.8 % of the public sector workforce , and the Class IV employees take up 27.2 % of the public sector workforce . Below are the percentages of the SC employees in the Central government : Class 1959 1965 1984 1995 1.18 1.64 3.2 6.92 10.12 II 2.38 2.82 4.6 10.36 12.67 III 6.95 8.88 10.3 13.98 16.15 IV 17.24 17.75 18.6 20.2 21.26 excludes sweepers The above table shows that over time as the new laws for the reservation systems were passed employment of SC 's in Class I , II , III , and IV public sectors increased substantially .

Beyond the Sea ( film ) - wikipedia Beyond the Sea ( film ) Jump to : navigation , search Beyond the Sea Theatrical release poster Directed by Kevin Spacey Produced by Kevin Spacey Phillip Barry Dana Brunetti Arthur Friedman Jan Fantl Andy Paterson Written by Lewis Colick Kevin Spacey Starring Kevin Spacey Kate Bosworth Bob Hoskins John Goodman Music by Bobby Darin Cinematography Eduardo Serra Edited by Trevor Waite Production company Trigger Street Productions Distributed by Lions Gate Films ( USA ) Entertainment Film Distributors ( UK ) GAGA ( Japan ) Maple Pictures ( Canada ) Release date December 17 , 2004 ( 2004 - 12 - 17 ) Running time 118 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $25 million Box office $8.4 million Beyond the Sea is a 2004 American musical drama film based on the life of singer / actor Bobby Darin . Starring in the lead role and using his own singing voice for the musical numbers , Kevin Spacey co-wrote , directed , and co-produced the film , which takes its title from Darin 's hit version of the song of the same name . Beyond the Sea depicts Darin 's rise to success in both the music and film industry during the 1950s and 1960s , as well as his marriage to Sandra Dee , portrayed by Kate Bosworth . As early as 1986 , Barry Levinson intended to direct a film based on the life of Darin , and he began pre-production on the project in early 1997 . When he eventually vacated the director 's position , Spacey , along with Darin 's son Dodd , acquired the film rights . Beyond the Sea was released in December 2004 to mixed reviews from critics and bombed at the box office . Dodd Darin , Sandra Dee and former Darin manager Steve Blauner responded with enthusiastic feedback to Spacey 's work on the film . Despite a number of negative reviews , some critics praised Spacey 's performance , largely due to his decision to use his own singing voice . He received a Golden Globe nomination .

It chronicles his determination to rise from his working class roots as Walden Robert Cassotto , a frail Bronx boy plagued by multiple bouts of rheumatic fever , and become a singer more famous than Frank Sinatra . To achieve that goal , he forms a band and struggles to find gigs at any nightclub that will hire him . His agent gets Darin a recording contract with Atlantic Records , where the singer enjoys teen idol success with `` Splish Splash '' . Not wanting to limit his appeal to rock and roll audiences , he changes his niche to big band singing and records major hits , such as `` Mack the Knife . '' To capitalize on his popularity with teenage and young adult audiences , Darin is cast in Come September opposite Sandra Dee . He falls in love with the eighteen - year - old actress and , determined to marry her , he romantically seduces and enchants her with songs like `` Beyond the Sea '' and `` Dream Lover . '' The two elope , angering her mother . Darin finally realizes his own mother 's dream when he is signed to appear at the famed Copacabana nightclub in Manhattan . As success takes him on the road and away from home , Dee begins to drink heavily , and the couple fights frequently . Eventually they separate , then reconcile . She gives birth to a son , Dodd . To his actress wife 's chagrin , Darin is nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as a shell shocked soldier in Captain Newman , M.D. . In the late 1960s , Darin becomes involved in the campaign to elect Robert F. Kennedy for President and contemplates a political career of his own . His sister Nina , knowing his past will be investigated closely if Bobby opts to enter the political arena , shocks him with the news his beloved mother actually was his grandmother and he is Nina 's illegitimate child , the son of a father she can not identify . Devastated , Darin becomes a recluse living in a trailer on the Big Sur coast in California . He finds himself out of step with changing music trends , and when he tries to adapt by incorporating folk music and protest songs into his repertoire , he finds himself rejected by the audience that once embraced him . Undaunted , he stages a show , complete with a gospel choir , at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas , and against all odds it is a huge success . But his triumph is short - lived . Suffering from blood poisoning following surgery to repair his mechanical heart valve , Darin is rushed to the hospital , where he dies at the age of thirty - seven . Following his death , he meets the younger counterpart of himself once again , and the two duet with `` As Long As I 'm Singing . '' Cast ( edit ) Kevin Spacey as Bobby Darin , who rises from his lower class roots to become one of the most popular rock and roll and big band performers of all time . Kate Bosworth as Sandra Dee , the popular actress who marries Bobby . Although they divorced in 1967 , Sandra said she has always truly and deeply loved him , and that she always will , and thus never remarried . Bob Hoskins as Charlie Maffia , who serves as a father figure and considers Bobby to be his son . John Goodman as Stephen Blauner , Bobby 's dedicated talent manager . Blauner later becomes a successful film producer with movies such as The King of Marvin Gardens ( 1972 ) and Drive , He Said ( 1971 ) . Brenda Blethyn as Polly Cassotto , Bobby 's biological maternal grandmother , who teaches him the art of music as a child . Caroline Aaron as Nina Cassotto Maffia , Bobby 's biological mother , whom he believed to be his older sister . Nina tells him the shocking truth when he is thirty - three years old . Greta Scacchi as Mary Douvan , Sandra 's overprotective mother . Peter Cincotti as Dick Behrke , Bobby 's arranger and pianist . Matt Rippy as David Gershenson , Bobby 's publicist . William Ullrich as young Bobby . Cathy Moriarty - Gentile and Vanessa Redgrave were originally cast in Beyond the Sea , but both actresses dropped out for unspecified reasons . Development ( edit ) Barry Levinson ( edit ) Beginning in 1986 , Barry Levinson intended to produce and direct a biopic based on the life of Bobby Darin with funding from his own production company , Baltimore Pictures . With writer Lewis Colick , Levinson pitched the idea to Warner Bros. Pictures , who agreed to co-finance The Bobby Darin Story and cover distribution duties . Producer Arthur Friedman , a fan of Darin 's work , began to laboriously negotiate for crucial music licensing rights with Darin 's ex-wife , Sandra Dee ; his son , Dodd ; and former manager Steve Blauner . Colick wrote the first draft in 1987 before Warner Bros. and Levinson commissioned rewrites from Paul Attanasio and Paul Schrader . Their scripts , which kept The Bobby Darin Story title , concentrated on Sandra Dee 's alcoholism and childhood molestation by her stepfather . David Gershenson , Darin 's longtime friend , publicist and manager , joined the project as a historical consultant . Tom Cruise was reportedly under consideration to portray Darin . Meanwhile , in May 1994 , Warner Bros. optioned Dodd Darin 's book , Dream Lovers ( ISBN 0 - 446 - 51768 - 2 ) . James Toback and Lorenzo Carcaterra were hired to rewrite Attanasio 's The Bobby Darin Story , which they re-titled Dreamer , in an attempt to incorporate the information present in Dodd Darin 's Dream Lovers . Toback 's script heavily focused on Darin 's childhood rheumatic fever and lifelong struggle with heart disease . It also followed the previous Attanasio and Schrader scripts . Carcaterra 's detailed research included Darin 's music records , home videos , early television clips , authorized and unauthorized biographies , newspaper articles and magazine interviews . `` I decided to meet with a lot of real - life people associated with Bobby Darin until ( Levinson ) said it was taking the focus off of Bobby , '' Carcaterra explained . As a result , some of the writer 's favorite scenes , including a Las Vegas confrontation with Elvis Presley , were omitted from his third and final draft , which came in at a lengthy 164 pages . Beginning in 1994 , Kevin Spacey first offered his services to portray Bobby Darin , but the filmmakers believed the actor was too old . Around this time , Spacey coincidentally performed the cover version of Darin 's `` That Old Black Magic '' for the soundtrack of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil . The actor explained that after 1994 , `` at least three times a year , my manager would call over to Warner Bros. and say , ' Hey , what 's happening with that Bobby Darin movie ? You guys ever going to make it ? ' '' With filming to originally begin in late 1997 , pre-production for Dreamer was commencing , and Levinson began to discuss the film with various actors . This included Johnny Depp as Bobby Darin , Drew Barrymore as Sandra Dee , Bette Midler as Darin 's birth mother Nina and Bruno Kirby as Nina 's husband / Darin 's right - hand man , Charlie Mafia . Levinson eventually vacated the director 's position in favor of Liberty Heights ( 1999 ) ; because he was unable to get Dreamer into production , Warner Bros. lost the music licensing rights , which reverted to the Darin estate . Kevin Spacey ( edit ) In March 1999 , Dick Clark Productions announced their teaming with Dodd Darin on a biopic , with collaboration from producer Arthur Friedman , who had been developing both The Bobby Darin Story and Dreamer with Levinson at Warner Bros. since 1986 . Shortly afterwards , Spacey was in discussions with Dodd Darin to star in the lead role . Spacey was able to acquire the film rights from Warner Bros. in early 2000 . With the help of Dodd Darin , the actor also received exclusive music rights for no charge . With his Academy Award - winning performance in American Beauty ( 1999 ) , Paramount Pictures became interested in distributing / financing Beyond the Sea . The deal fell apart when Paramount told Spacey was that he was too old for the role and instead wanted Leonardo DiCaprio . Beginning in October 2000 , Spacey took vocal training lessons from Darin collaborator Roger Kellaway to give an accurate portrayal of the singer . `` Bobby was a man I found very compelling , driven , ambitious and complicated . He challenged himself and never sat back on his laurels . It 's sad that he did n't live longer , but I do n't think his life was tragic . I view his life as inspiring . '' -- Kevin Spacey Spacey also kept close relations with the Darin family as a means to know he would treat the film `` with respect '' . He sent letters to that effect to Sandra Dee and son Dodd . Steve Blauner ( who is portrayed by John Goodman in the film ) also served as a historical consultant . Dodd originally considered Spacey 's plan to sing his father 's material a sacrilege , but eventually fell into sync with Spacey 's deeply empathetic approach to Darin 's life . Tom Epperson , who had struck up a friendship with Spacey while writing an early screenplay draft of The Shipping News , was hired to write a new draft for Beyond the Sea . Epperson 's script included Darin 's penchant for orgies after his divorce with Sandra Dee . Spacey , finding the Epperson script to be overtly dark and morbid , began to rewrite Beyond the Sea , incorporating info from the 1987 Lewis Colick script . Spacey acknowledged he portrayed Darin in an exaggeratedly sympathetic way , and decided not to centrally depict the darker side of Darin 's life . `` The other scripts made Bobby ( Darin ) a rather unlikable figure , '' he explained . `` I was not interested in making a conventional biopic , as you can see from the results . I was interested in making an exuberant celebration of an entertainer in a way that would be uplifting for an audience . '' By making the biopic , Dodd Darin and Spacey acknowledged the similar career experiences between Darin and Spacey . `` A lot of people doubted my dad 's abilities , and Kevin 's had doubters and naysayers , '' Dodd commented . `` But both ( men ) were willing to take risks , and both were very resilient . My dad would always try new things . You could never pin him down . Kevin 's career is similar . '' David Evanier , author of Roman Candle : The Life of Bobby Darin ( ISBN 978 - 1 - 59486 - 010 - 2 ) , said `` You can put Kevin 's obsessiveness about getting the film made right up there with Bobby 's obsessiveness . He 's also the ideal person to play Bobby . He has an uncanny physical resemblance to him , and he also has Bobby 's intensity and dark side . Also , there 's the connection with his mother . Bobby 's mother 's belief in him sent him soaring . Kevin 's mother wanted him to make this film . Kevin sees the film as an act of devotion to his mother . '' `` I think the movie is about mothers and sons , '' Spacey said , referring to Darin 's relationship with his mother Polly and sister Nina . Spacey 's mother , Kathleen Fowler , died of brain cancer just before production started . `` I made the movie for all mothers , but especially for my mother . She introduced me to Bobby Darin . When she got very ill in 2002 , I stopped everything and took care of her . We constantly played Bobby Darin records , and I 'd let her listen to the tracks I was recording . I 'm glad she passed knowing this was the movie I was going to make . '' After his award - winning performances in The Usual Suspects and American Beauty , Spacey `` chose to move away from dark , sarcastic characters , and instead play damaged but good - hearted men '' in films like Pay It Forward , K - PAX and The Shipping News . The actor was criticized for his career move ; Spacey acknowledged the similarities when Darin integrated into folk music and protest songs . Production ( edit ) In February 2003 , it was announced that production for Beyond the Sea was becoming fast tracked with Spacey as lead actor , co-writer , producer and director , and Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer ( MGM ) agreed to cover distribution duties in North America . The following August , with principal photography to begin in just weeks , MGM dropped out as distributor and main financier over scheduling conflicts . To accumulate financing of the film 's $25 million budget , which came from foreign production companies , Spacey performed six songs at the November 2003 American Film Market . Lions Gate Entertainment quickly picked up the distribution duties and Spacey found enough investors from England and Germany to continue to move forward on production . In addition , Spacey declined to be paid for his work as actor , director , co-writer and producer on Beyond the Sea . A portion of the $25 million budget came from his own Trigger Street Productions . Producer Arthur Friedman , who had shepherded the biopic since 1987 , commented that he and Spacey experienced creative differences during pre-production . Friedman remarked that he was not involved with Beyond the Sea once production began in Germany . Filming was originally set to begin in June 2003 before it was pushed to November 7 , 2003 , lasting until late - January 2004 . 80 % of Beyond the Sea was shot using sound stages at Babelsberg Studios in Germany and Pinewood Studios in England . Lulworth Cove , Dorset , South West England doubled for Darin 's setting of reclusiveness in Big Sur , California . In an attempt to convincingly portray Darin , particularly during the early stages of the singer 's life depicted in the film , Spacey hired prosthetic makeup designer Peter King from The Lord of the Rings film trilogy . Music ( edit ) Soundtrack ( edit ) The soundtrack album features 18 tracks performed by Kevin Spacey . Release ( edit ) Marketing ( edit ) To promote Beyond the Sea , Spacey and Phil Ramone devised a 12 - city United States concert tour titled An Evening Celebrating the Music of Bobby Darin , which consisted of Spacey performing with a 19 - piece band . `` It 's me singing Bobby and talking about Bobby and talking a little bit about the movie , '' Spacey explained in June 2004 . Spacey dressed in costumes from the movie for the tour , which started in San Francisco and traveled through Los Angeles , New York City , Boston , Chicago , Miami and Atlantic City before ending in the Wayne Newton Theatre at the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas . Spacey 's performance at the Waldorf - Astoria Hotel on December 11 , 2004 received a standing ovation . Dodd Darin commented , `` It was said about my dad that he had some big brass ones . To do a film about my dad is one thing , but it 's another thing to go out and attempt to work a nightclub . Kevin 's got a lot of courage . I think he sounds good . '' The film was shown and promoted at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11 , 2004 . WGA arbitration ( edit ) Beginning in October 2004 , the Writers Guild of America , west conducted arbitration through the scripts that had been written since Barry Levinson developed the film at Warner Bros. in 1987 . Lewis Colick , James Toback and Tom Epperson disassociated themselves for credit by the WGA . The Guild justified credit to Lewis Colick , who wrote the first draft of The Bobby Darin Story in 1987 , and Kevin Spacey . Actor - writer Jeffrey Meek believed he should have deserved credit ; he was paid $85,000 of a promised $125,000 to settle his claim to have performed writing services . Spacey said Meek was `` not a hired writer '' on Beyond the Sea . `` He turned in a draft , but it was a draft based on earlier material based on my own screenplays , '' Spacey commented . Meek said he was hired by producer Harvey Friedman , a friend who stood up at his wedding and helped connect him with Spacey , with whom he claims to have produced 12 drafts , including one that was reported by Variety to have received a greenlight from MGM in early 2003 . `` He bought my material and then acted like I did n't exist , '' Meek explained . `` I 'm not saying I 'm Rembrandt , but it 's like someone buying a painting and then scratching the name off of it and putting their own there . '' Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) Beyond the Sea received mixed reviews from critics . Based on 147 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes , 42 % of the critics gave the film a positive review , with an average score of 5.2 / 10 . Metacritic calculated a weighted average score of 46 / 100 , based on 35 reviews . `` I 'm very happy with the way the film turned out . Kevin loves my dad , and he wanted to do a tribute . My mother ( who never remarried after her split from Darin ) was speechless for a while after she saw it . It was emotional for her . There was a lot of truth and grit . But she could n't be happier . '' -- Dodd Darin Sandra Dee , Dodd Darin , Jimmy Scalia and Steve Blauner responded enthusiastically to Spacey 's work on the film . Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle felt Spacey looked too old to portray Darin convincingly and called the film `` one of the most embarrassing spectacles of 2004 '' and `` jaw - droppingly awful , a misbegotten and ill - conceived vanity project . '' Desson Thomson from The Washington Post praised the actor 's work , but also felt Spacey did not convincingly portray Darin in his early music career . Internet reviewer James Berardinelli found the storyline to be overtly clichéd , but added , `` Despite the choppy narrative and inappropriate casting of Spacey , Beyond the Sea managed to keep me entertained . '' Roger Ebert gave a largely positive review , stating that , `` Kevin Spacey believes he was born to play Bobby Darin . I believe he was born to play more interesting characters ... In his own best work , Spacey has achieved genius ; he is better as an actor than Darin ever was as a singer . '' Stephen Holden of The New York Times felt that `` with Beyond the Sea , Spacey crawls back from his doomed quest to be a Tom Hanks - like everyman to his niche on the underbelly of Hollywood 's pantheon . The movie 's a mess , and at 45 , Spacey is far too old to play Darin . Yet the star captures his desperation , his braggadocio , and yes , his magnetism . '' Peter Travers , writing in Rolling Stone magazine , believed Spacey could not prevent `` the movie from groaning under the weight of biopic clichés . But the actor forges a bond with his subject that rights all wrongs . Doing his own singing ( an uncanny imitation ) , Spacey is a marvel . '' Box office ( edit ) The film opened in limited release in the United States on December 17 , 2004 and went into wider release on December 29 . It grossed $6,318,709 in the US and $2,128,906 in international markets for a total worldwide box office of $8,447,615 . It was declared a box office bomb because it did not make back its $25 million budget . Accolades ( edit ) Spacey was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy but lost to Jamie Foxx for Ray . He and Phil Ramone were also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture , Television or Other Visual Media , but lost to the producers of Ray . Home Media ( edit ) On June 7 , 2005 , the film was released on DVD in widescreen anamorphic format for Region 1 markets . It features two Dolby Digital English audio tracks ( one in 2.0 Stereo and the other in 5.1 Surround Sound ) , director 's commentary by Spacey , and a making - of featurette .

A woman pushes a child toward the surface and disappears below . Sheriff Jude Ellis is called to the beach to investigate a body that washed ashore . Upon arriving , he and his deputy discover more bodies on the beach and hundreds more in the water . There are a total of 47 survivors , all claiming to be fleeing a war 180 years in the future . They heard of a way to bend time to get to `` The Long Peace '' . They were running from Apex , a race of more evolved humans with extraordinary abilities that took over all governments and began exterminating normal humans . FBI Agent Emma Ren takes charge and restricts the sheriff 's access . The woman shown previously is rescued by fishermen , sees a televised report of only dead washing ashore ( an FBI cover story ) , ambushes Jude and orders him to take her to the dead . She does not find the girl she tried to help . Jude tells her the child is alive . When armed security agents close in , the woman overpowers both of them and Jude and escapes , revealing herself to be an Apex by her incredible physical abilities . She later appears in Jude 's home , where he learns that her name is Reece and that she is looking for her daughter , Leah . Thomas , a survivor , claims that their group was not the first to cross . He meets Ren 's boss , Craig Lindauer , the deputy head of Homeland Security , but to his horror recognizes Lindauer as part of the earlier migration . `` A Shadow Out of Time '' David Von Ancken Dan Dworkin & Jay Beattie April 9 , 2018 ( 2018 - 04 - 09 ) 4.48 Reece and Leah 's backstory is told in a series of flashbacks . In 2187 , Reece and another armed Apex agent search a building for `` Commons '' , non-mutated humans . Inside they find a dead man , killed by the incurable disease Apex created to wipe out normal humanity . They also discover a healthy baby . Reece 's partner prepares to shoot the infant , per standard procedure , but Reece kills him and raises the baby in secret . When Leah is a young girl , she contracts the disease . Reece buys black market medical help ; the man gives Leah some of Reece 's blood in the hope that Reece 's Apex immunity can help Leah fight the disease . When Reece 's superiors find out about Leah and confront Reece , she shoots them and flees . In the present , Jude makes a bargain with her : he will help her find Leah in exchange for her leaving town . He tries to arrange a meeting between Reece and Ren , but Ren notifies Lindauer , who sends heavily armed men . Reece is shot , but gets away . Meanwhile , Leah is found to have the disease and is quickly quarantined . `` Pax Americana '' Ken Girotti Michael Narducci April 16 , 2018 ( 2018 - 04 - 16 ) 4.09 Reece is tracked in the forest by Lindauer 's heavily armed men , but she easily neutralizes them . She kills the head of the search team when he , thinking he has her incapacitated , reveals he is an earlier migrant . Roy , a guard , is attracted to survivor Hannah . Luke threatens to expose Hannah 's past to the others unless she cooperates with him . She sneaks out of camp in the back of Roy 's pickup truck . At a concert , part of the town 's `` Harborfest '' celebration , Hannah meets Marshall . After a while , she spots a young man who looks exactly like the guy in the photo in her lost locket . Roy finds Hannah and takes her back , with Jude 's help . Jude is enjoying Harborfest with his son Oliver , who was dropped off by Oliver 's mother . When Jude is called away to check out a dead body ( Reece 's victim ) , Oliver disappears . Lindauer recruits Thomas , then sends virologist Dr. Sophie Forbin to find out all she can about the disease , but states that saving Leah 's life is not a priority . After speaking with Forbin , Ren starts to suspect that Lindauer has a hidden agenda . She reaches out to Jude , but he no longer trusts her . `` The Face of Oblivion '' Tara Nicole Weyr Evan Bleiweiss April 23 , 2018 ( 2018 - 04 - 23 ) 4.08 When Jude calls Oliver 's phone , Reece answers . She wants to exchange his child for hers in four hours . Jude contacts Ren , who informs him that Leah is dying of a highly infectious disease . Jude pressures Forbin to go with him to the exchange point . After they apprise Reece of the situation , Forbin offers to take Oliver 's place . Jude returns home to find his son alive and well . Meanwhile , Hannah 's dark secret comes to light : she became an Apex collaborator after they caught and tortured her father . A survivor named Paul asks a guard to locate a woman from the earlier migration : his wife . The guard turns over his drawing over to Ren , who identifies and goes to question the woman . The woman claims Paul joined a cult , but when Ren sees a photograph on the wall showing a gathering in which Lindauer is present , the woman shoots her . 5 `` Ten Years Gone '' Jeffrey Hunt Rebecca Sonnenshine April 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 04 - 30 ) TBD 6 `` LKA '' Hanelle Culpepper Vivian Tse May 7 , 2018 ( 2018 - 05 - 07 ) TBD 7 `` Some Dreamers of the Golden Dream '' TBA TBA May 14 , 2018 ( 2018 - 05 - 14 ) TBD Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , the series has an approval rating of 69 % based on 16 reviews , with an average rating of 6.1 / 10 .
