Sources say that creative differences is what has killed Atlee And Allu Arjun’s Joint Project project. Allu Arjun is said to have been proposed by director Atlee for a two-hero film, which would involve pairing Allu with a big star in the North, resulting in a pan-India spectacle.

The WGA East’s second Showrunner Academy gets underway today, with the 31-member class taking part in a program designed to support television writer-producers, upper-level writers and new show creators in honing the skills necessary to become successful showrunners and TV industry leaders.

The Academy, which provides instruction from current showrunners and other industry professionals on a wide range of topics, is led by Diana Son and Frank Pugliese.

“Being a showrunner is so much more than being the creative voice of the show,” Son said in a statement. “It’s also managing a multimillion-dollar endeavor with over 100 employees. We’re bringing in accomplished and experienced showrunners who’re willing to share the breadth of their experience – the good, bad and the ugly – so new showrunners can have a head start on figuring out what kind of showrunner they’re going to be.

Netflix led the way in the latest round of tax credits granted to productions by the state’s film office.

The streamer was awarded 37.1 million in incentives to shoot in California, besting MGM (19.6 million) and Warner Bros. Pictures (12.6 million), the California Film Commission said Monday. HBO led the way in the previous allotment of credits and Netflix twice before that.

Netflix was given credits for two features, Rebel Moon: Part 2 and an untitled film. The first installment of the Zack Snyder project was also awarded tax credits last year to shoot in California. The sci-fi adventure follows a young woman, played by Sofia Boutella, in a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy forced to seek out help from neighboring planets to ward off an invading tyrant.

Todd Phillips’ Joker: Folie à Deux headlines the four studio films given incentives — though it was granted the least.

A state trooper who was part of Andrew Cuomo’s security detail sued the ex-New York governor in a sexual harassment claim, but the lawsuit quickly was revised Friday to include Cuomo’s spokesman as a defendant.

The state trooper’s lawsuit (read it here) claims that Cuomo “used his physical proximity to Trooper 1 to touch her inappropriately,” among other accusations. The trooper, unidentified in the lawsuit, was among the 11 women who accused Cuomo of sexual misconduct in Attorney General Letitia James’ investigation, the results of which ultimately led to his resignation last year.

Cuomo has not been charged with criminal wrongdoing, but there had been the expectation that he would face civil litigation.

After the state trooper filed her lawsuit, represented by the law firm Wigdor Llp, Cuomo’s spokesman, Richard Azzopardi, issued a strongly worded statement on Twitter, noting that authorities found “no violations of law” and saying...

As one of the most beloved and successful sitcoms of all time, Frasier is well-known for the strength of its core cast of leads. The series doesn't have a single bad main character, which is rare for sitcoms with much larger casts. But the compact size of Frasier's main cast makes for a perfectly balanced comedy group.

But that small list of leads isn't the only cast the series has. In addition to its five main characters, there are many other supporting players who appear regularly across all 11 seasons of the series. Some of them, whether for better or worse, appear much more than others.

Exclusive: Writer, producer, director Sam Boyd has signed with UTA for worldwide representation in all areas.

The show’s second season, starring William Jackson Harper and Jessica Williams, premiered in October. In addition to his co-showrunning duties, Boyd co-wrote and directed the premiere episode and directed the season finale. He also wrote and directed multiple episodes of the first season, which debuted in May 2020 and starred Anna Kendrick, Zoe Chao, Peter Vack and Sasha Compère.

Not all of the couples in Friends were meant to be together, and some relationships ended just as quickly as they started. The characters had their fair share of romances that were fleeting and weren't important in the grand scheme of the show. However, there were some that were crucial, despite how long they lasted.

The Friends timeline isn't too hard to figure out, which gives fans an idea of how much time passed in the world of the show. Going off the assumption that all the couples who ended up together stayed together, the length of most of the relationships can be approximated by the information the show provides.

Actor and musician Anthony Ramos has released a new video for his song, “Say Less,” featuring his co-star from the upcoming In the Heights film adaptation, Melissa Barrera.

“Say Less” is an unabashedly steamy piece of R&b that finds Ramos crooning over swift but soft drums and atmospheric synths: “You had enough of the distance so I came,” Ramos sings, “I got what you need to numb the pain/Know what you want babe/Just say less, less, less.” The video, directed by Bobby Hanaford, captures the mood of the song,...

The stream of fall rollouts continues, although at a bit slower pace on the specialty box office front compared with recent weekends. Among them however is the Coen brothers’ anticipated The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, with Netflix beginning a very limited theatrical run today in New York at The Landmark 57 West, at The Landmark Los Angeles and the Embarcadero Center Cinema in San Francisco.

Buster Scruggs is one of three Netflix films — along with Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma and Susanne Bier’s Bird Box — to get a rare pre-streaming theatrical release as the company looks to to boost awareness for its awards-season fare. This film is also screening this weekend at AFI Fest and will be available via the service next week.

As per Netflix, the company doesn’t plan to release box office figures for its films.

Everyone else, though, may find their patience running thin with Hallie (Emma Roberts) and Owen (Michael Angarano), the two young, bland Los Angelenos at the center of Sam Boyd’s romantic indie “In a Relationship.”

The idea that a relationship is beginning to feel a bit old and tired is the type of fodder that has been used by films for decades.

In honor of the new film hitting theaters and On Demand this week, we are proud to present an exclusive clip from the upcoming romantic dramedy that premiered at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.

Emma Roberts is sliding out of Netflix’s upcoming drama series “Spinning Out,” an individual with knowledge of the production told TheWrap.

According to the person familiar with the project, the “American Horror Story” star left the show because she booked another series.

Earlier this month, the streaming service gave a 10-episode order to the figure staking drama series, which hails from Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell’s Safehouse Pictures and creator Samantha Stratton.

Roberts was set to star on “Spinning Out” as Kat Baker, an up-and-coming singles skater about to hang up her skates after a disastrous fall took her off the competition track.

The film stars Emma Roberts & Michael Angarano as the leads, with Patrick Gibson & Dree Hemingway as the new couple.

Emma Roberts will star in an ice skating drama series that has been ordered at Netflix, Variety has learned.

The series, “Spinning Out,” stars Roberts as Kat Baker, an up-and-coming, high-level single skater who’s about to turn in her skates after a disastrous fall took her off the competition track. When Kat seizes an opportunity to continue her career as a pair skater with a talented bad-boy partner, she risks exposing a fiercely kept secret that could unravel her entire life.

Vertical Entertainment has obtained the North American distribution rights to Emma Roberts-starring film In a Relationship, written and directed by first-time filmmaker Sam Boyd. The comedy, which had its world premiere this year at the Tribeca, also stars Michael Angarano, Dree Hemingway, and Patrick Gibson. The plot centers on one summer in the lives of two couples: Long-term pair Owen and Hallie, who are are breaking up (or maybe not?), while Matt and Willa embark on a romance of their own just as their relationship reaches a turning point. Greta Lee, Gayle Rankin, Melora Walter and Jay Ellis co-star in the pic, which will get a theatrical bow later this year. Jorge Garcia Castro, David Hunter, Ross Putman and Boyd produced the film with executive producers Andres Icaza Ballesteros and Sergio Cortes Gomez of 2 Friends Media, Roberts, Karah Preiss, Will Russell-Shapiro, Jim Jacobsen and Stephen Braun. The deal...

A neat-and-tidy romantic comedy dedicated to capturing the messy reality of modern dating, Sam Boyd’s Los Angeles-set “In a Relationship” suggests what “La La Land” might have been if you took away the retro-chic musical numbers and sparkly, soda-fizz chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, leaving only commitment-phobic white people looking for connection in a city where there’s always something better around the corner. Though unlikely to land more than a day-and-date VOD release, the movie is much funnier than the vast majority of indie comedies, serving as a great audition piece for a career of sitcom directing.

By focusing on two couples — one testing out a break after several years together, the other hooking up for the first time — Boyd presents an amusing before-and-after view of millennial mating rituals, such as they are. That was also the conceit of his 2015 short film of the same name...

You’ve probably seen “In a Relationship” before — hell, if you’re over 25, you’ve probably lived it. But what Sam Boyd’s tender and winning debut feature lacks in originality and ambition, it makes up for in honesty and charm.

Yet another of those movies about beautiful millennials having sex with each other while trying to sort out How We Love Now, Boyd’s film retreads familiar territory that people like Drake Doremus and the Duplass brothers might seem to have already farmed dry. A white boy with bad hair. A button-nosed girl with bad taste. A lot of navel-gazing commentary about hook-up culture, the rules of the game, and how they’ve changed for a generation in which constant connection hasn’t brought everybody closer. Some funny references. Too many synths. Even the best of these stories — even the ones that might reflect your own experience a tiny...
