Antonio Cipriano addressed how Off Campus adapted — and changed details from Logan’s story in the book series — before his season of the show was delayed. “What’s so great about the show and the adaptation is that all the writers had so much freedom to add so much more to these characters. The books are so POV driven between whoever is in their love story and there was so much more to play with,” Cipriano exclusively told Us Weekly in May about the vision for the shakeups. “You’re rooting for all of these characters.” Cipriano expressed excitement at getting…
When the topic of studio interference comes up, it sounds almost exclusively like something that happens now, in the present day, especially with large-budget films. “Creative differences” is usually the term that gets thrown around, and that’s often the polite way to say the director wanted to make their own movie, rather than what the studio wanted them to make. So while studio meddling isn’t exactly an uncommon occurrence, especially in modern franchise movies, you’d think it wouldn’t have been a concern during the production of a movie that’s over 100 years old. Well, that’s where you’d be wrong, because…
Prime Video From skewering the rise of megacorporations in all walks of daily life to espousing the dangers of celebrity worship, “The Boys” frequently targeted the world that we live in. To reflect those themes the show featured a number of major cameos across the main series’ five-season run. This ranged from public personalities playing exaggerated versions of themselves, often to comedic effect, or characters playing against type for the respective actor’s usual work. Even series creator Eric Kripke got in on the fun, with a stealth cameo in the…
The Russo brothers fired up a rainy SXSW London on Tuesday afternoon. AGBO co-founders Anthony and Joe Russo were joined by their partner, former chief creative officer at Epic Games Donald Mustard, at a headline session titled “Building Artistic Universes Without Borders” at the Shoreditch instalment of the major festival and conference event. The directors of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame began by lauding the record-breaking box office work of Obsession and Backrooms filmmakers, 26-year-old Curry Barker and 20-year-old Kane Parsons, who have become the latest cinematic saviors of horror. “If you just follow your own ethos, I’m fascinated…

Could Pennywise the Dancing Clown crash the Emmy nominations? HBO sure hopes so. The network is making a big awards push for It: Welcome to Derry, submitting the eight-episode first season in 34 categories, including Best Drama Series, for the 2026 Emmys, Gold Derby has exclusively learned. A prequel to director Andy Muschietti’s blockbuster It films, Welcome to Derry fleshes out backstory from Stephen King’s bestselling novel to tell the origins of the dimension-hopping, shape-shifting monster and the cursed town he haunts. While the cast is new — outside of Bill Skarsgård returning as Pennywise — many of the creatives…

It’s a new month, which means a new Netflix — well, sort of. The streaming service typically has an influx of new titles arriving on the first of every month, with additional (and often newer) releases turning up as the month goes on, often dictated by a particular release date (for Netflix originals) or licensing agreements (for new releases coming over from theaters or other streamers). As such, Netflix has plenty of good older stuff on tap for June, including the complete Rocky and Creed series, as well as Vin Diesel’s Riddick saga. But if you want to try to…
The creators of the new Masters of the Universe movie really, really, want to let you know that they’re in on the joke. They know deep down, or at least they should know, that their juvenile material is only suitable for children or overgrown adolescents with a terminal case of childhood nostalgia. So director Travis Knight (Bumblebee, Kubo and the Two Strings) and his quartet of screenwriters have loaded the proceedings with so much campy, self-referential humor that you don’t know whether to laugh or cry. The film winds up feeling so much like one of those fringe festival musical…
