Ruaridh Mollica to star in Tom Brittney’s directorial debut ‘JOE.’ An adaptation of Jon Ransom’s novel ‘The Whale Tattoo,’ it follows Joe who returns to the small Norfolk fishing town where he grew up to confront the past. Haunted by death, trauma and unfulfilled love, he soon learns the disturbing truth about the river running alongside the house his estranged father still lives in.

It’s hilarious how Apple keeps curating these auteur-driven critically acclaimed projects with with some of the greatest actors we have and NO ONE is watching, meanwhile Netflix are reporting record viewership for season 7 of the worst slop you’ve ever seen
Alfonso Cuarón’s ‘DISCLAIMER’ starring Cate Blanchett debuts with a perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. The seven-chapter psychological thriller premieres October 11 on Apple TV+

Wait this is so crazy. A show was given more than two seasons and it... built an audience over time and is now successful?? That's wild.
‘Industry’ is heating up on HBO. The finance drama hit an audience record with the third episode of Season 3, raking in 370,000 cross-platform viewers on Sunday night. More details here: deadline.com/2024/08/industr…

No, but seriously… we REALLY need to talk about the inequality within our industry. $85m on THREE PEOPLE is eye wateringly tone deaf!!! Meanwhile day player rates are in the toilet and I’m being asked to write whole episodes for free before people will even commit to an option.
Brad Pitt and George Clooney were each paid $35M to star in #Wolfs Director Jon Watts was paid $15M The movie will be in theaters for one week before releasing on Apple TV+ September 27 (via @nytimes)

Seeing Robert Downey Jr’s rumoured paycheck details for returning to the MCU and wondering when we’re going to discuss the crazy inequality of fees in our industry… Day players struggling to survive, and in the US not making their SAG insurance minimums, as meanwhile…

I'm starting a production company called Gaslight Pictures where all we do is we get writers to spend years on free work and then convince them it's their fault we can't find financing.

Concrete is mostly sand and rock and water . It’s very organic. Just sea, basically
Makes sense. Like how pork pies were once pigs. So if you run out of food, you just grow more pigs. Weird how some people don't realise this.
