Stephen King's role as Jordy Verill in Creepshow gets a gross adaptation in new art. The segment "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" is based on King's short story "Weeds" from 1976. King's cameo in Creepshow allowed for extended screen time, adding dark humor to the iconic segment.
Stephen King's mossy role in Creepshow receives a wonderfully gross adaptation in new art. Marking King's screenwriting debut back in 1982, the anthology horror film follows five gruesome stories from a child's comic book involving a deceased father coming back to life, a mysterious meteor, a vengeful husband, a mysterious crate, and an infestation of cockroaches. In addition to writing the horror film directed by George Romero, King also cameos in the second segment "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" as the titular character.

Criterion’s got murder on their mind. This May will bring a 4K release of Michael Powell’s career-killing masterpiece Peeping Tom, supplemented by appearances from its biggest fans Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker. More recent (and less certain on questions of guilt) is Anatomy of a Fall, arriving on Blu-ray with a 5.1 surround DTS-hd Master Audio rendition of “P.I.M.P. (Instrumental).” Meanwhile, Karyn Kusama’s 2001 feature Girlfight gets a Bd.
Then there’s two sets. Sicking up the mantle of Janus’ career-spanning retrospective, Criterion will release a three-film Ousmane Sembène offering this May––Emitaï, Xala, and Ceddo spread across a nicely designed box––and Ozu’s Floating Weeds / A Story of Floating Weeds duology, which I honestly cannot believe has been stuck on DVD for decades. Color Ozu should be nationally subsidized, and this is a good start at least.

A TV series should keep the audience guessing and bring something new to each episode to keep them hooked. Falling into a predictable and mundane format can make a show uninteresting and drive viewers away. Characters and relationships can only carry a series for so long if the plot and conflicts become repetitive and lack substance.
To stand the test of time, a television series must have an unforgettable premise, but when the storylines become too procedural and tread familiar ground, it can be easy to grow bored with watching. The worst thing that a TV show can be is mundane because the plot thrives on conflict, drama, and stakes. If the story isn't compelling, it becomes too easy to guess the twists which will drive down the stakes of the world and make the characters uninteresting.

One thing that Japanese cinema seems to lack particularly lately is tension, with the majority of movies going out of the country following the calm and smooth road the festival-darling directors have paved for the most part. As such, it is always a pleasure to watch movies that do bring much tension in the narrative, with Masato Harada proving once more, after “Hell Dogs” and “Sekigahara”, that knows how to handle the particular aspect. Let us see how the rest of the film fares though.

Starz on Wednesday canceled Shining Vale after two seasons and removed the horror comedy starring Courteney Cox from its digital platforms. In an interview published Thursday, Minx star Jake Johnson told Deadline that he did not expect a Season 3 renewal for the period erotic comedy, which had been rescued by Starz after its cancellation by Max.
Shining Vale and Minx are Starz’s last remaining current comedy series. The premium network, which is in the process of separating from Minx producer Lionsgate Television, has about a half-dozen upcoming scripted series, all of them dramas.
According to sources, Starz executives in private conversations with producers have lamented that comedy is not working on the network.
There have not been development announcements for comedy projects set up at Starz in a year and a half, and I hear the network is not top of mind when comedy pitches are taken out.

Showtime, one of the most trusted premium cable channels this side of HBO, is rebranding. The channel, owned by Paramount Global, is officially set to relaunch with a new name in January 2024. Get ready for the Paramount+ with Showtime era. This is a title that the company had already been leaning into on the streaming side, but now the long-standing cable channel is taking on the new branding as well. For better or worse, it's a corporate synergy move.
On January 8, 2024, Showtime will officially rebrand as Paramount+ with Showtime, so anyone who subscribes to the channel will need to be aware of the title change.

Weeds season 7 struggles after a time jump and loses tension, making it difficult to understand Nancy's decisions and watch her friction with Silas. The final season of Weeds is the weakest point of the series, opting for a time jump where weed is legalized and Nancy is still alone. Weeds season 2 hits its stride, delivering the best drama and character development of the series, introducing key plot points and balancing comedy and melodrama.
Weeds ran on Showtime from 2005 to 2012, and while the show was relatively consistent, some seasons were better than others. Each season faces its successes and struggles within the overall series arc. After the success of Weeds season 1, the show had to continuously reinvent itself to stay relevant and keep the premise interesting. Much of what carries the series are the performances of the main cast and the unexpected plot twists, although some seasons did this better than others.

Elizabeth Perkins joins the cast of The Morning Show season 3 as Elena, the president of rival network Nbn, making a brief but memorable appearance. Elena's background as a reporter adds depth to her character and suggests that she values the news over ratings, unlike some other network executives. Elena's advice to Laura in dealing with a personal dilemma hints at her cutthroat journalistic mentality, potentially setting up her role as a new villain in The Morning Show season 4.
The Morning Show recently introduced a new character towards the end of season 3, Elena, played by accomplished veteran actress Elizabeth Perkins. The Morning Show season 3 cast already boasted several new, talented additions to the Apple TV+ miniseries, including Jon Hamm, Nicole Beharie, Tig Notaro, and more, with Perkins’ appearance being a pleasant surprise for many viewers.

Months after scoring his first Emmy notice for playing a fictionalized version of himself on “Jury Duty,” James Marsden is seeking recognition from the Screen Actors Guild for the same meta performance. Since he is, of course, eligible as both a solo actor and cast member, his lifetime SAG Award nominations total could soon rise to seven, with this possibly being his third Best TV Comedy Ensemble outing. Based on the fact that his previous two bids came for his work on as many programs, he now has a strong shot at blazing a trail as the first man to earn SAG ensemble mentions for three different comedy series.
According to Gold Derby’s 2024 SAG Awards odds, the actors from “Jury Duty” are comfortably ranked fifth in the comedy ensemble race with the support of 60% of our prognosticating users. On the Amazon Freevee original, Marsden ostensibly acts as a Los...

Excitement turns sinister as Nella suspects her co-workers, including new hire Hazel, are plotting against her in Hulu's The Other Black Girl. Nella's life is filled with menial tasks until Hazel's arrival brings a glimmer of hope, but she soon realizes she's being watched and receives hostile notes. Zakiya Dalila Harris draws on her own experiences as a minority in the publishing industry to create a fictional but relatable story in her novel, which inspired the series.

Stranger Things star David Harbour admitted he's surprised the Netflix series announced Linda Hamilton as its newest cast member amid the uncertainty stemming from the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike.
While speaking with NME about where the fifth and final season of Stranger Things stands, Harbour addressed the inclusion of Hamilton, whose casting was confirmed in June at Tudum. According to Harbour, the announcement was an eyebrow-raiser for him considering the ramifications of the writers' strike, including the halting of Season 5 production. "It surprised me when they announced that, because I know that this writers’ strike has not come to a deal yet. And I think they’re committed to not shooting until they do reach a deal," he said.

If you’re a child of the eighties, you grew up watching the great Kevin Nealon as the host of Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live. From 1986-1995, Nealon was one of the show’s most popular players, with probably his defining role (other than Weekend Update) being as Franz (opposite Dana Carvey’s Hans), one half of the Arnold Schwarzenegger-like body-building duo Hans and Franz. Since SNL, Nealon’s gone on to great success as a character actor, starring on Weeds opposite Mary-Louise Parker for 99 episodes while also being a regular on Man with a Plan. And regularly showing up in cameo roles opposite old pal Adam Sandler in many films.
It turns out that Nealon, in addition to his acting talents, is one heck of an artist, with him recently writing a book, “I Exaggerate My Brushes with Fame” (buy it here), which reveals his hand-drawn caricatures...

With his nomination this year for an installment of the Netflix limited series “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” Paris Barclay is the first Black director to compete at the Emmys with nominations in three different genres: drama series, comedy series (“Glee”) and now limited/anthology with “Dahmer – Monster.” It’s his ninth Emmy nod overall, with four coming for “NYPD Blue” (a pair each in 1998 and ’99 for producing and directing), one for “The West Wing” (2002) and three for “Glee”. His two wins came for directing “NYPD” in ’98 and ’99, so it’s been nearly a quarter-century since his last triumph.

While a lot of TV shows steadfastly stick to their premise over the course of their run, some take another route entirely. A killer concept is vital to a successful TV series, but a concept is only as good as its execution. Breaking Bad starts with a great premise: a suburban science teacher using clandestine chemistry to pay for his expensive cancer treatment. However, had the show’s creators followed through on their original plan to kill off Jesse Pinkman in season 1, Breaking Bad’s execution could have proved disastrous.
Meanwhile, Bojack Horseman doesn't offer the most original idea for a TV show. However, because the Netflix hit’s execution is so successful, Bojack Horseman's familiar premise provides some of the funniest and most poignant moments in adult animation history. Execution is everything in the long-form storytelling format of television. This is why it can be so frustrating when a...

Pulp stopped in their hometown of Sheffield for a pair of shows on their reunion tour over the weekend. To make the second night even more special, they closed out the set by debuting an unreleased song called “Hymn of the North.”
“I can promise you that no one has ever heard this song except for us on this stage,” vocalist Jarvis Cocker said to the crowd while introducing the performance. “Actually that is a lie. It’s a song — a kind of version of it was featured in a play by a guy called Simon Stephens. And it’s called ‘Hymn of the North.’ So we are in the North, so we thought you should hear it first, Ok.”
Cocker continued by sharing that the band had “some lively discussions” about whether they should play the song live. “There’s a lot that could go wrong with it — I’m playing the piano,...

Another player is interested in returning to Weeds. The possibility of a revival was first reported in May. Showtime is developing a revival of the popular comedy-drama series that aired on the cable network for eight seasons between 2005-12. Christian Torpe would write and executive produce the series.
Mary-Louise Parker, Elizabeth Perkins, Hunter Parrish, Kevin Nealon, Alexander Gould, Justin Kirk, Andy Milder, Allie Grant, and Romany Malco starred in the original series. Parker is set to return for the new incarnation. The original comedy follows housewife and mom Nancy Botwin (Parker) as she finds creative ways to support her family after the death of her husband. The revival would reportedly take Nancy to Copenhagen.

If the long-gestating Weeds Revival gets the green light, another original star is interested in stepping back into the world of Nancy Botwin.
Elizabeth Perkins appeared in five of eight seasons during the show's initial run on Showtime.
In an interview with Variety, Perkins stressed that the new project was very much "talk" at this early stage in development.
The Afterparty Season 2 star admitted she would be ecstatic to get the opportunity to work with her former co-stars.
"I loved working with Mary-Louise Parker," she added.
"I love those two characters together, Nancy and Celia!"
Indeed, fans would be interested in checking back in with Celia, who was missing from the show's final three seasons.
By the end of Weeds' eight-season run, the series had changed so much that many of the original elements of the show were missing.

Nancy and Celia may be back in business. Elizabeth Perkins, who starred as Celia Hodes on the Showtime series “Weeds” from 2005-2009, tells Variety she’d gladly step back into the role now that a revival of the show is reportedly in the works.
“It’s just that— it’s talking,” Perkins said when asked about talk of a reboot. “I’d be on board. I loved working with Mary-Louise Parker. I love those two characters together, Nancy and Celia!”
Deadline reported in May that a “Weeds” reboot was in development at Showtime with lead star Parker attached to star and executive produce. (Variety first exclusively reported the reboot was in the works at Starz in 2019). Lionsgate, the studio behind the production, declined to comment at the time.
Perkins revealed her interest in a potential reboot as she walked the carpet for Apple TV+’s “The Afterparty” Season 2 on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.

Although far from the first horror anthology, Creepshow quickly established itself as the quintessential one. After several stalled attempts to work together, George A. Romero and Stephen King — two undisputed masters in their respective fields, each in their prime — finally collaborated in 1982. With both creators having grown up on EC horror comics of the 1950s like Tales from the Crypt, The Vault of Horror, and The Haunt of Fear, it made sense that an homage to those works would bring the two titans of terror together.
Creepshow packs five tales (three originals and two adapted from existing King short stories) plus a wraparound that bookends the film in two hours flat. The Halloween-set framing story finds a disparaging father lambasting his son for reading horror comics before throwing away the latest issue of Creepshow. Beckoned by the silent host known as The Creep, the tales within the discarded comic serve as the anthology’s segments.

1982's Creepshow was one of its kind when it was released as a horror anthology that had everything from killers to monsters. It also allowed famous horror icons to give their creative input, such as its director George A. Romero and writer Stephen King. But while each story covered a wide spectrum of horror, its writer, King, still managed to bring in one tale that tied into his storied universe. Based on King's short story Weeds, "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" starred King in a tale about a man who encountered a meteorite that crashed in his yard.
After he touched the rock, his skin began to sprout alien weeds over himself and anything he touched. At first, it seemed harmless enough until it began to grow uncontrollably, becoming itchy and aggressive. In the end, after the growths had turned Jordy into something of a moss monster, he chose...

The James Patterson Industrial Complex is huge and growing all the time. The author of Kiss the Girls, Along Came a Spider, and your mom's favorite book has expanded into audio thrillers in recent years. These Audible Originals are less like audiobooks and more like old-fashioned radio dramas with sound design and multiple actors, such as John Lithgow, Aaron Paul, Zachary Quinto, Bryce Dallas Howard, Krysten Ritter, and more.
Now Mary-Louise Parker can be added to that fine troupe of James Patterson's Audible Original Players. Parker stars in the new thriller Murder in Bermuda, where she plays Beth Heller, an arrogant attorney with a criminal family who is drinking her time away in a Bermuda hotel. The Audible Original is co-written by Aaron Tracy (The Coldest Case) and Thaddeus McCants (winner of the 2020 BET Project Crea8 writing competition).

Earlier this year, Showtime confirmed to be working on revival series for two of its biggest hits, Weeds and Nurse Jackie with Mary Louise-Parker and Edie Falco set to return to play the main characters in both continuations.
Remakes, reboots, revivals, or late sequels are all too common today in Hollywood, but that doesn't mean they all work well. In fact, in most cases, they seem to fall short of the original content, especially if they come much later because the contexts are so different.
Speaking particularly of the Weeds revival, actor Justin Kirk was skeptical of the project's chances to be successful (via Variety), and in an exclusive chat with MovieWeb, Mary-Louise Parker acknowledges that her co-star has a point:
“Yeah, he's right. Leave it to Justin, wow. I mean, I wish I knew one way or the other if it was happening. I think it would have to be reinvented because,...

Some television shows smartly quit while they were ahead and avoided tarnishing their legacies. There are many examples of outstanding seasons of television that failed to conclude before their later seasons tapered in quality and disappointed viewers. These shows famously include Dexter, Weeds, The Office, 13 Reasons Why, and Supernatural. What started as riveting television with these examples only ended with shaky character arcs and muddled, overdone punchlines and plot developments.
Additionally, there are just as many TV shows that were canceled for strange reasons or were axed far too soon. They were oddly canned after outstanding first seasons or while they still were seemingly in their primes. These shows include Bloodline, Deadwood, Glow, The Punisher, and Firefly. It's almost unheard of that makers of a successful show at the top of its game would consciously choose to end it, but the creators of the ten following TV series gave...

Pulp kicked off their long-awaited 2023 “This is What We Do For an Encore Tour” at the Bridlington Spa in Bridlington, England on May 26th. The newly-reunited Britpop icons played a set full of fan favorites and deep cuts, marking their first show in a decade: “We are Pulp — I’ve not said that for quite a long time,” vocalist Jarvis Cocker greeted the packed crowd.
Cocker and company tore through the majority of their 1995 masterpiece Different Class, opening with “I Spy” and saving their smash “Common People” until their first of two encores. The set also included some highlights from 1994’s His N Hers like “Do You Remember the First Time?” and “Babies”; deeper cuts like “Weeds” and “Glory Days”; and their 2013 single “After You.”
“An encore happens when the crowd makes enough noise to bring the band back to the stage,” the band said in a statement announcing the reunion last October.

Paramount+ and Showtime are coming together precisely one quarter earlier than expected. Paramount+ with Showtime will launch on June 27, Paramount Global said on Monday. Previously, the timing for the combination and rebrand was end of September — or the end of Q3, not Q2.
How much is one quarter worth? Well, in the first quarter of 2023 alone, this merger of services cost Paramount Global nearly $1.7 billion. In other words, it could be quite meaningful.
The Showtime Ott (over-the-top) app will be shuttered by the end of the year, Paramount said this afternoon. The linear channel will wait for that timing to rebrand with the same — though more confusing for the format — name: Paramount+ with Showtime.
As previously reported, Paramount+ with Showtime will cost $11.99 per month, up $2 from the tier’s prior pricing. The Paramount+ “Essential” plan (without Showtime) will go up $1 per month from $4.99 to $5.99.
“This summer, Paramount+ will officially become the streaming home for Showtime,...
