Filming a series or movie production always seems like nothing but fun on the outside looking in. While being a part of the cast and crew is a fun experience in itself, it is still a job, and problems arise just like it would at a regular place of work. Sometimes, productions are suspended indefinitely as a result of too many issues, while others take a brief break to get things back on track. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson's Apple TV+ series is the latest project to halt filming while things get sorted out. It seems that the untitled show, which stars and is executive produced by the actors and Skydance Television, sent its cast home due to creative differences.
According to Deadline, sources told the publication that production in Austin, Texas, was paused late last week, and the cast, which includes Holland Taylor, Natalie Martinez and Brittany Ishibashi,...

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson's Apple TV+ show Brothers has been hit with a major setback. Partly inspired by their real-life friendship, the comedy series features Harrelson and McConaughey playing fictional versions of themselves as their families begin living together at McConaughey's Texas ranch. Along with starring together in True Detective season 1, they have also worked together on the 1999 movie EDtv and the 2008 movie Surfer, Dude. For Brothers, Harrelson and McConaughey are joined by series regulars Oona Yaffe, Highdee Kuan, Nolan Almeida, Ella Grace Helton, and Noah Carganilla.
According to Deadline, Brothers'production has now been paused after showrunner David West Read exited the show. His departure is reportedly due to creative disagreements about how the season should end, as eight of the 10 episodes have already been filmed. Lee Eisenberg, who previously created the comedy series Jury Duty and Little America, is in discussions to become the new showrunner to...

Changes are afoot behind the scenes of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson's untitled Apple TV+ series. Filming has been halted following the departure of David West Read as showrunner.
According to Deadline, eight of the 10 episodes had been shot before production in Austin, Texas was paused last week and the cast sent home. Lee Eisenberg is in negotiations to come on board as the new showrunner, which would entail overseeing the last two episodes and any reshoots. The showrunner change is reportedly due to differing views over how to end the season.
A return to production date is not expected to be set until the series' creative direction has been tweaked. The untitled series, at one point titled Brother from Another Mother and then simply Brothers, stars Harrelson and McConaughey as heightened versions of themselves in a heartfelt odd couple love story revolving around their strange and beautiful sibling-like bond.

Real-life mafia expert Jimmy Tsui praises Netflix's The Brothers Sun for its realism. Tsui explains the hierarchical structure of Triad societies, with White Paper Fan being the highest level for women. The Netflix show receives a 7/10 rating for its accuracy, with Tsui highlighting the secret leader meeting scene as particularly authentic.
A real-life mafia expert gives a positive review of the Netflix crime drama The Brothers Sun. Consisting of eight episodes, and making its Netflix premiere in January, the project hailed from American Horror Story co-creator Brad Falchuk and writer Bryon Wu and told the story of a family that bands together when a factional war breaks out. Despite positive reviews and seemingly strong viewership, The Brothers Sun season 2 is not in the cards as Netflix cancelled the show in March.

The season finale of The Brothers Sun delivers a happy ending for the Sun family, with Charles opening a bakery and reconnecting with his mother in Taiwan. Mama Sun takes on the role of Dragon Head for the Triad gangs, seeking to organize and improve them after Big Sun's betrayal. Bruce gains confidence and ultimately shoots his father, leading to Big Sun's arrest, but the post-credits scene suggests potential for revenge and continued conflict in a second season.
We as an audience love a happy ending. True, some of us prefer more tragic endings that leave us feeling devastated. But the majority of the audience feels a sense of content when it comes to happy endings. It's a good feeling to see our favorite characters overcome their problems and achieve the ending they deserve. That's the type of ending that the Netflix action-comedy-drama series The Brothers Sun has given us.

The Brothers Sun premiered on Netflix with all eight episodes on Jan. 4, 2024, and is an action comedy-drama about a man named Bruce who learns about his family's gangster history. There is no confirmation of a second season yet, as Netflix has not made a renewal announcement, but the show received decent reviews for its cast, comedy, and balance of family compassion and action. If there is a second season, audiences can expect the main cast to return, and the plot would likely involve more of Mama Sun and Big Sun, Charles accompanying her back to Taipei, and Bruce embracing the darkness of being in a gangster family.

If there is something positive about the existence of streaming platforms in recent times, it's the explosion of quality television series that we haven't experienced for several decades. There is something for everyone, even for TV sceptics who are not easily convinced to step out of the cinema or from what they concern as a serious screening content. Almost four years ago, during the Mastercard event at the Venice Film Festival, Brian de Palma confessed that he was hooked to the comedy-drama series “Dead To Me” starring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini, admitting that he was watching television more than ever before due to a big improvement in quality of productions. Liz Feldman wasn't in the audience, but I was, glad to hear that such a legend and I are sharing the same passion for the show.

When The Brothers Sun co-creator Byron Wu first conceived his story about a Taiwanese American immigrant family hiding their triad past in the suburbs, he knew exactly where such characters would live: the San Gabriel Valley, the Asian American enclave just east of the city of Los Angeles.
“It’s a hidden gem of Los Angeles,” said Wu, who lived in the Sgv’s Hacienda Heights when he first moved to L.A., in the press notes for the Netflix action dramedy premiering today, Thursday. The region’s underrepresentation in media appealed to him and co-creator and co-showrunner Brad Falchuk, and in addition to explicitly setting the story in the Sgv (younger son Bruce attends the fictional Cal State San Gabriel, characters carry grocery bags from Taiwanese American supermarket chain 99 Ranch), much of the series was filmed on location there.

Instead of shunning martial arts as cliché or stereotypical, many Asian creatives have leaned into that audience familiarity to help tell complex stories surrounding their experiences in this country and beyond. Michelle Yeoh has played a role in some of these recent efforts, including Disney+’s “American Born Chinese” and Marvel’s box office smash “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” Now the “Everything Everywhere All At Once” star and historic Oscar winner is back at it, bringing her Hollywood clout to “The Brothers Sun” on Netflix.

Michelle Yeoh is back! Not that she went anywhere, to paraphrase the Nicolas Cage comedy "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent." Still, we're undeniably in the midst of a renaissance (a Yeohnaissance?) for the Oscar-winning Malaysian superstar, one that arguably started with her role as the steely matriarch of the uber-wealthy Young family in 2018's "Crazy Rich Asians." Her latest project, "The Brothers Sun," once again sees Yeoh playing the determined head of a clan, this time portraying Eileen Sun, the wife of the recently assassinated head of a powerful Taiwanese triad.
The Sun family's connections to organized crime come as a real shock to Eileen's youngest son Bruce (Sam Song Li), who's been living a quiet life with his mother in Los Angeles when his older brother, Charles (Justin Chien), shows up to break the news ... and with a whole lot of dangerous people who want them dead on his tail.
