Many things weigh on Aza Holmes, the anxious protagonist of Hannah Marks’ Turtles All the Way Down, but none more than the existence of bacteria. Thoughts of these microorganisms — the ease with which they can infiltrate a body and the chances of infection — plague her. She worries about a wound on her left middle finger, a slit in the skin she can’t let heal. Picking at the sore relieves her obsessive thought spirals, but it also activates a new round of worries about contamination, disease and the impossibility of safety.
Aza, played by Isabela Merced (Madame Web) has anxiety and Ocd, conditions that make the already challenging experience of high school even more difficult. Turtles All the Way Down, which Marks (Don’t Make Me Go) adapted from John Green’s novel of the same name, is a mostly moving portrait of how one teenager navigates her mind’s unruly terrain.

“Turtles All the Way Down” was always going to be a tricky movie to get right. Based on a popular, well-reviewed 2017 book of the same name by YA maestro John Green, the story follows Aza (Isabela Merced) a girl with sometimes-crippling Ocd — in addition to regular Being a Teen problems. It’s a beautiful story, but not one that necessarily screams blockbuster.
Green himself — who oversaw adaptions of his work like “Paper Towns” and “Looking for Alaska” and serves as an EP on “Turtles” — was hesitant about selling the rights to adapt it, he recalled to IndieWire.
“It was hard for me to imagine that a good movie could be made from the book,” Green said. “Also, Hollywood has a long history of depicting Ocd terribly. But because the producers were people I had such confidence in, I felt like we could at least give it a shot.”
Also helping his confidence?...

Lili Reinhart and Jack Martin aren’t seen together that often, but they made a rare public appearance while attending a screening over the weekend!
The cute couple posed for a photo while attending an advanced screening of the Max film Turtles All The Way Down on Saturday (April 27) at the London Hotel in West Hollywood, Calif.
Lili and Jack joined other special guests including Kirsten Dunst and Bailee Madison.
Turtles cast members Isabela Merced, Felix Mallard, Cree, and Maliq Johnson, director Hannah Marks, and best-selling author and executive producer John Green were also in attendance!
The movie, based on Green‘s book, tackles anxiety through its 17-year-old protagonist, Aza Holmes.

Reminiscing about the glory days of youth? Don’t. Bestselling author John Green — whose work has spawned a legion of big- and small-screen adaptations — certainly doesn’t. In Green’s stories, teenagehood is hard enough (and then some) as his beloved characters go through puberty, prom, and first love in tandem with far bigger worries ranging from cancer to obsessive compulsive disorder. People go missing, people aren’t ever found, people die.
It’s not exactly the stuff of popcorn entertainment, but Green’s stories always place a premium on the viewpoint of the kids who experience them and the youngsters who observe them. Being a teenager? It’s not for the faint of heart. Being a Green teen? Well, at least someone is treating you like an adult.
The latest Green adaptation, “Turtles All the Way Down,” offers yet another sterling example of that mindset and the power of it.

The Max adaptation of John Green’s 2017 novel ably handles the interior struggles of Ocd, if not the threads of its plot
For better and for worse, John Green’s young adult worlds tend toward the dramatic and expansive – big swings, big emotions, big mysteries and dreams. And always, the specter of death – of parents, friends or the protagonists themselves (the cancer romance turned tearjerker hit The Fault in Our Stars). Turtles All the Way Down, the writer’s 2017 novel, turns the drama more inward: its protagonist, a high-schooler named Aza Holmes, struggles with derailing thought spirals from obsessive compulsive disorder, partially inspired by the author’s own experience.
Such an alienating internal experience is the type of characterization that could be difficult to translate to screen, both for relatability and for the action – what to do with a romance when one half is too deathly afraid of bacteria to kiss?...

Felix Mallard has played the brooding and sensitive Marcus Baker on Ginny & Georgia for two seasons now. As fans eagerly await Season 3, Mallard has joined the world of John Green. He stars as Davis in the film adaptation of Green’s novel Turtles All the Way Down, out May 2. While Marcus and Davis come from different worlds, Mallard has found ways the characters resemble each other beyond just being love interests. “I see a similarity within those two characters in that they both have this love and this support for other people,” Mallard tells TV Insider. “So it wasn’t necessarily stepping from one character where you’re afflicted to another character where you’re not.” The Australian actor is drawn to roles that inspire him, like Marcus and Davis. He stresses that he never wants “to do the same character twice. I always really want to put a different stamp on things.

It’s been half a decade since the directorial debut of Hannah Marks, yet each film she’s made has boasted the same vitality and youthful fervor of a new voice on the scene. Her first adaptation and most ambitious project yet, Turtles All the Way Down, benefits from her ability to tap into the zeitgeist of today’s youth, allowing it to rise above its conventions.
Adapted from John Green’s acclaimed young adult novel of the same name, Turtles All the Way Down follows a teen girl with big dreams and aspirations as she investigates the mystery of a fugitive billionaire. The film is far less interested in the central mystery than the protagonist’s internal journey, simply using this as a device to propel her self-discovery.
At its core, the film is a pretty standard coming-of-age romance. The protagonist is the “pretty but doesn’t know it” archetype,...

The world’s most prominent online video convention might be up for sale. According to Adweek, Paramount Global has hired the bank Oaklins DeSilva+Phillips to explore a potential sale of VidCon, the gathering that descends on the Anaheim Convention Center each June.
The conversations still seem to be in relatively early stages. The exact price tag VidCon could fetch hasn’t been determined, and neither Paramount nor Oaklins DeSilva+Phillips have commented on the report. Adweek‘s source did indicate that Paramount is hoping to sell VidCon to a strategic buyer rather than a private equity firm, and the event series is not seen as a “distressed asset.”
A VidCon sale could allow Paramount to reinvest in its core business. The media conglomerate has not yet achieved profitability on Paramount+, the streaming service that adopted its current name in 2021. “This is a consideration that has almost certainly been influenced by Paramount’s extraneous plans,...

The latest John Green book to get the adaptation treatment is 2017’s “Turtles All the Way Down,” his follow-up to worldwide smash “The Fault in Our Stars.”
“Turtles All the Way Down,” per a press release, “tackles anxiety through its 17-year-old protagonist, Aza Holmes (Isabela Merced).” It continues, “It’s not easy being Aza, but she’s trying… trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, and a good student, all while navigating an endless barrage of invasive, obsessive thoughts that she cannot control.

Maybe it’s inflation, maybe it’s Trump, perhaps it’s the hangover from the pandemic, and maybe it’s the worry that Trump will regain office in November, but cultural anxiety and worry have been on the rise in recent years. And that entire idea, not being able to shut off your brain and worrying, is at the center of a new coming-of-age film about anxiety called “Turtles” All The Way Down.”

This article contains spoilers for 3 Body Problem episode 1.
Netflix has relentlessly promoted its latest big budget series, 3 Body Problem, as a science fiction epic.
Based on a trilogy of sci-fi novels from Cixin Liu, the show is full of speculative ideas and a storytelling canvas of the known universe. Going into episode 1, viewers have been primed to expect aliens at the very most or some outer space at the very least. Imagine their surprise then when episode 1 “Countdown” opens with the text “Beijing, Tsinghua University, 1966.”
As that text promises, the first five minutes of 3 Body Problem take place in Beijing, 1966 at a revolutionary rally known as a “struggle session.” Through the eyes of the young Ye Wenjie (Zine Tsung) we watch as her peers parade several academics onstage and humiliate them.

For generations, every reader repeated the same phrase, “The book is better than the movie.” The phrase became a critical reflex to some of the most mediocre adaptations until Hollywood decided to not cut corners and genuinely pay more attention to the source material. As a result, fans raised questions when books turned into movies. Until the entertainment industry did justice to the books justice by creating memorable movie or TV Series adaptations such as The Lord of The Rings, The Godfather, Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, and so much more.

Matthew Patrick may be stepping away from his role as the on-screen host of The Game Theorists, but he will stay active in the creator community. The man known as MatPat has been announced as a Featured Creator for VidCon, which will return to the Anaheim Convention Center on June 26, 2024.
Patrick is no stranger to VidCon. In his previous appearances at the annual convention, he has shared insights from his behind-the-camera work as a digital strategist and consultant. His departure from the Theorist Media brand — which was acquired by startup Lunar X in 2022 — will give him more time to analyze YouTube in detail.
VidCon announced its first batch of 2024 Featured Creators a month ago, when it set the date for the next edition of its Southern California gathering. Patrick headlined a second group of Featured Creators that also includes Fifth Harmony member Dinah Jane, “Internet Coworker” Rod Thill, multihyphenate Kalen Allen,...

Exclusive: Uriah Shelton has been cast as a series regular in the Prime Video series Motorheads from writer/showrunner John A. Norris.
Shelton will portray Curtis, somewhat of an outsider and a skilled young mechanic who crafted his motorcycle from scratch. He strives to keep a distance from the world of his older brother, Ray.
As Deadline revealed in late November, the series also stars Ryan Phillippe, Nathalie Kelley, Michael Cimino and Melissa Collazo.
Motorheads is about first love, first heartbreak, and turning the key in your very first car. Set in a once-thriving rust-belt town that’s now searching for a glimmer of hope, the series is the adrenaline-filled story of a group of outsiders who form an unlikely friendship over a mutual love of automobiles. And while some characters will be navigating the hierarchy and rules of high school, others will be racing from a dark past.

Exclusive: Kristine Froseth (The Buccaneers) has been set to star alongside Richard Gere and Jacob Elordi in Oh, Canada, the newest feature written and directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Schrader (First Reformed).
Based on the 2021 novel Foregone by the late Russell Banks, the film tells the story of Leonard Fife (Gere), a famed documentary filmmaker who takes stock of his life, with not long to go after being stricken with cancer at 80 years old. The most unreliable of narrators — and of men — Fife offers the viewer a look at his home life, as a draft dodging artist who abandoned one family for another, consistently evading any sense of responsibility for actions as he starts a new life in Canada.
As previously announced, Elordi plays a young Fife, seen from his late teens through his mid-twenties. Froseth shares 1968-set scenes with the Saltburn star as his second wife, the conservative Virginian Alicia,...

Hank Green is getting Gubbins.
“A few months ago, I accidentally bought a part of a mobile game,” he says in his latest YouTube video.
That mobile game is Gubbins, a daily digital word puzzle where you “make cool words.”
Green says he found out about Gubbins through TikTok, when the game was still in early beta. He fell in love with it and looked up Studio Folly, its Melbourne-based developer, and ended up offering a “not insubstantial amount of money” for 10% ownership of Gubbins.
“I said, what if I buy 10% of your game? You’ll have some extra money to spend on making the game perfect, and then, once the game comes out, you’ll donate 10% of the revenue from the game to the Foundation to Decrease World Suck,” he explains.
Studio Folly agreed, and Green is now a 10% owner, with 10% of revenue going to the nonprofit world suck-decreasing...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is well past its peak.
All is not lost just yet, however, as there is still a panoply of costume heroes lining up to save the galaxy from danger or time travel or god-killers. But after 15 years of formulaic (and often satisfying!) films and series, a hard reset is long overdue, as well as a true passing of the torch. As IndieWire’s Kate Erbland noted in her C- review of “The Marvels,” it’s time to burn it all down and rebuild.
And that’s where Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) comes in.
“The Marvels” is as predictable and generally uninspired as the last several MCU projects before it. There’s a glitch in the fabric of space and time, a slapdash team of heroes from multiple titles, and an intergalactic CGI adventure. To its credit, “The Marvels” is a shockingly humane 105-minute movie, and in...

Popular YouTube content creator Grace Helbig announced that she has breast cancer in a video on Monday. In her video, she said she received the cancer diagnosis about a month ago.
Helbig said she was diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer, which she called “super treatable and highly beatable.” She was diagnosed after noticing a small lump on her breast. She said in her video that she was unsure how to bring it up to her doctor because she was afraid of looking uneducated about her own body. But now, she urges everyone to go get checked.
“Get those lumps checked,” she said. “And don’t be afraid to ask the doctor what you think might be a stupid question.”
In addition to her YouTube channel, the 37-year-old internet personality and comedian co-hosts and co-created the podcast “This Might Get Weird” alongside Mamrie Hart. In 2015, Helbig hosted her own comedy talk show on E!

Hank Green, a popular YouTuber and co-founder of the digital creator convention VidCon, revealed that he has been diagnosed with cancer.
In a nearly 14-minute video shared on YouTube Friday, Green said that he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system – a part of the body’s immune system.
The digital creator and vlogger, who has more than 7.5 million followers on TikTok, also said that it’s “one of the most treatable cancers.” Green noted that he will be starting chemotherapy treatment soon, which is expected to last around four months.
“It responds very well to treatment. The goal was cure. The procedure to get there is fairly well known, if unpleasant,” he explained. “It seems likely that we caught mine early. I’m still waiting on a scan to sort of confirm that.”

Reading Garth Risk Hallberg’s City on Fire well after its initial publication hype, it isn’t always clear what generated that buzz in the first place.
At 900+ pages, it’s an unquestionably ambitious first novel, but Hallberg’s distinctive prose feels mostly in service of obfuscation. It’s a book in which all manner of structural and aesthetic trickiness — an occasionally evocative ’70s setting, faux Dickensian sprawl, flashbacks, flash-forwards, digressions in the form of a punk rock ‘zine and a fireworks-obsessed piece of long-form journalism — offer distraction from the run-of-the-mill mysteries that make up the core storyline. It’s full of vivid moments, but less full of effective twists or compelling characters.
Watching Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s Apple TV+ adaptation of City on Fire, which arrives with no particular hype, it isn’t always clear what connection it even has to the book in the first place.
