Random Media has obtained the world rights to The Experience, an Lgbtq+ coming-of-age drama written and directed by Katerina Gorshkov. Allison Kove, Ava Capri, Shawn Christian, Lou Ferrigno Jr., Sabina Gadecki, star along with Brigitte Nielsen and Gordon Thomson. The pic, which hails from Black Stallion Productions, will get a day-and-date release in November. Set against the backdrop of a ‘tough love’ wilderness program for the wayward children, the plot examines the life of Scarlet (Kove), a teenage girl whose ongoing behavior – partying, piercings and suicide attempts – have landed her at ‘The Hills of Heaven’ camp. When a mysterious girl named Dillion (Capri) arrives at camp, Scarlet begins to open up and maybe even fall in love. However, just when these girls are making a meaningful connection, they are forced to reconcile their reality in ways they cannot begin to fathom and question the very fabric of their own existence.

With the remake of the 1980s soap opera arriving today, what better time to take a nostalgia-filled lookback at Dynasty?
Cast your mind back, if you can, to the year of 1981. Bucks Fizz, Adam and the Ants and Soft Cell were storming the charts, Only Fools And Horses aired its first series on BBC One and Gregory’s Girl was playing in a cinema near you. Meanwhile, stateside, ABC had cooked up a suitably glamorous and scandalous competitor to Dallas, the CBS drama packed full of Stetsons and suspense. The world may have recently discovered who shot J.R., but there was still plenty of room for the Carringtons.
Enter Dynasty, a show based around the business and family of oil tycoon Blake Carrington (John Forsythe) whose recent marriage to his former secretary Krystle (Linda Evans) was making waves within the family mansion. With the Colby family...

Gordon Thomson, best known for playing the villainous and sexy Adam Carrington on the primetime soap “Dynasty” in the 1980s, had some harsh words for the new CW reboot set to premiere this fall. “I have had a look at the new ‘Dynasty’ and I am appalled,” he said in a sprawling Daily Beast interview on Monday. “What the f— is the CW doing? It’s utter s—.” He called the acting “dreadful” and the writing “appalling” and noted that while the new series shared character names and general plot points, he was disappointed that the new show is a reboot of producer.
