A horned, goose-riding magical mystery tour-ish Jason Momoa (Aquaman) welcomes a young girl to the world of dreams in Netflix’s Slumberland teaser trailer. The film’s based on Winsor McCay’s classic comic strip Little Nemo in Slumberland and introduces a fantastical dream world far different from Netflix’s The Sandman.

In addition to Jason Momoa, Slumberland stars Kyle Chandler, Marlow Barkley, Chris O’Dowd, Weruche Opia, India de Beaufort, and Humberly González. Francis Lawrence, director of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Mockingjay, directs from a screenplay by David Guion and Michael Handelman. (Lawrence is also currently busy with The Hunger Games prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.)

Producers include Lawrence, Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and David Ready.

The teaser trailer was accompanied by new photos from the family-friendly film that’s set to premiere on November 18, 2022.

The Plot: Slumberland takes audiences to a magical new place, a dreamworld where precocious Nemo (Marlow Barkley) and her eccentric companion Flip (Momoa) embark on the adventure of a lifetime. After her father Peter (Chandler) is unexpectedly lost at sea, young Nemo’s idyllic Pacific Northwest existence is completely upended when she is sent to live in the city with her well-meaning but deeply awkward uncle Phillip (O’Dowd).

Her new school and new routine are challenging by day but at night, a secret map to the fantastical world of Slumberland connects Nemo to Flip, a rough-around-the-edges but lovable outlaw who quickly becomes her partner and guide. She and Flip soon find themselves on an incredible journey traversing dreams and fleeing nightmares, where Nemo begins to hope that she will be reunited with her father once again.

‘Welcome to Wrexham’ Docuseries Review

By
Rebecca Murray
-

There’s a lot to love about FX’s Welcome to Wrexham docuseries, and non-football fans will certainly tune in just to see what Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were thinking when they bought the struggling Red Dragons. Reynolds and McElhenney are indeed entertaining, but what’s guaranteed to grab viewers is the sheer joy of victory mixed with the utter agony of defeat experienced by the fine citizens of Wrexham as they cheer on their struggling hometown football team.

Anyone who’s ever rooted for a losing team knows what it feels like to continue to hang onto hope that one day things will turn around. (As a lifelong Chargers fan, I know this feeling deep in my soul.) One day a miracle will occur, and all those losing seasons will become distant memories. In 2020, Wrexham fans were asked to consider if Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) and Rob McElhenney’s (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) interest in purchasing the third oldest football team in the world was the miracle they’d been waiting for.

The small blue-collar town of Wrexham (located in North Wales) is populated by diehard fans who live and die with their football team. The town’s been through a lot, and it’s obvious with the proliferation of empty storefronts that Wrexham could use an infusion of cash. But when it was announced Ryan and Rob wanted to buy the Red Dragons, of course, some Wrexham fans were skeptical of their motivations. Was this a publicity stunt? Would they desert the team after the spotlight faded away or the newness of the adventure wore off? These are justifiable concerns that Ryan and Rob – and, in turn – the docuseries address.

Obviously, given that this is based on real events, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney managed to assure Wrexham fans that they were in it for the long run. The duo, who only knew each other through social media and hadn’t met in person before deciding to take on owning a football team, understood the passion of Wrexham fans and committed to taking this underdog team from the bottom of the barrel back to being competitive with upper-tier teams. Why? Maybe the answer’s as simple as everyone loves a good underdog story.

FX’s docuseries explores the inner workings of the Red Dragons and the impact Reynolds and McElhenney’s ownership has had not just on the team but the entire town. It’s a Cinderella story told with love and laughter. It’s also a very effective publicity tool for the Wrexham Red Dragons. But, you’d have to be very cynical to believe this is all just a ploy to help Reynolds and McElhenney recoup their monetary investment in the club.

Beginning with the first episode, Welcome to Wrexham builds up goodwill toward the town and its club. Reynolds and McElhenney are refreshingly candid about this strange trip they’re on as team owners. And the episodes (five of which were made available to critics) spotlight a colorful collection of Wrexham fans who don’t shy away from sharing their opinions of the team and its owners.

There’s something incredibly compelling about this weird story of the Red Dragons. McElhenney began this journey by deciding he needed someone with movie star money as a partner. He landed on the perfect partner in Reynolds, and the two do not fail to entertain.




‘Halloween Ends’ Heads to Theaters and Peacock in October

Universal Pictures’ Halloween Ends, the final battle between Michael Myers and Laurie Strode, will arrive in theaters and on Peacock on October 14, 2022. The announcement of the simultaneous release on streaming and in theaters was made by Jamie Lee Curtis in a two-minute video released on social media.

Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode has been terrorized by Michael Myers for four decades, and Curtis says she’s very proud of the upcoming final chapter to their lengthy story. Curtis believes Halloween Ends brings the saga to “a fitting conclusion.” In the video, she also explains the reasoning behind the decision to release Halloween Ends on Peacock and theatrically.

“Last year when we put out Halloween Kills, we were in the thick of the Covid crisis so we made that movie available in theaters and in homes at the same time. We discovered that there are people who want to go to the theater and scream their guts out – and other people who want to stay at home and scream their guts out. But what we knew was that people watched both at the box office and from streaming,” says Curtis.

The Scream Queen’s explanation gets briefly interrupted by Michael Myers lurking behind a nearby tree. Then she adds: “This year, we year we want to make sure that as many people as possible can see Halloween Ends before Halloween. So, we decided to give that same gift to the fans…again!”

Curtis says it’s been an honor to play Laurie Strode and no matter how you decide to watch the final chapter, she hopes “you’ll get people together and scream and cheer and hold your breath to the end because we created this for you.”

Curtis wraps up the announcement by saying, “I thank you for your years of support and how much you care about this story and me – your final girl.”

Joining Jamie Lee Curtis in the final chapter of the saga are Andi Matichak as Allyson, Rohan Campbell as Corey Cunningham, Will Patton as Officer Frank Hawkins, Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace, and James Jude Courtney as The Shape. David Gordon Green directs from a screenplay he co-wrote with Paul Brad Logan, Chris Bernier, and Danny McBride.

Universal Pictures’ official synopsis:

This is Laurie Strode’s last stand.

After 45 years, the most acclaimed, revered horror franchise in film history reaches its epic, terrifying conclusion as Laurie Strode faces off for the last time against the embodiment of evil, Michael Myers, in a final confrontation unlike any captured on-screen before. Only one of them will survive.

Four years after the events of last year’s Halloween Kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson (Matichak) and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since. Laurie, after allowing the specter of Michael to determine and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. But when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Campbell), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.




‘Reboot’ Trailer: Sitcom Stars Get a Second Shot at Fame

There’s nothing unusual about Hollywood recycling old sitcoms – and even dramas – for new audiences. But Hulu’s new Reboot comedy series takes it a step further, creating a series about the behind-the-scenes shenanigans surrounding the reunion of a fictional sitcom cast for a reboot.

Steve Levitan (Modern Family, Just Shoot Me) created the series and serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. “After working thirty years in TV comedy, this is both my love letter to sitcoms and, if I’m being honest, much-needed therapy,” said Levitan, describing his new comedy.

Hulu released the following details on season one which is set to premiere on September 20, 2022 with the release of the first three episodes:

The Plot: Hulu reboots an early 2000’s family sitcom, forcing its dysfunctional cast back together. Now they must deal with their unresolved issues in today’s fast-changing world.

The Cast:

  • Keegan-Michael Key plays Reed Sterling, a fussy actor on the fictitious family multi-cam sitcom, Step Right Up, who graduated from the Yale school of drama and resents the show for ruining his career.
  • Johnny Knoxville is Clay Barber, a dark and filthy standup comedian whose only real acting job was on the same bright and sunny sitcom.
  • Judy Greer is Bree Marie Larson, a small-town pageant girl who always dreamed of being an actress and a princess and both somehow came true.
  • Rachel Bloom is sitcom writer with a “fresh take,” Hannah.
  • Calum Worthy is Zack, the hyphenate movie star/hip-hop artist.
  • Krista Marie Yu as a tech exec turned television creative exec, Elaine.




‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Scores a 12th Season Renewal

Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm will be hanging around for at least a 12th season. HBO officially renewed the award-winning comedy series for season 12.

Commenting on the renewal, series creator and star Larry David said, “Playing the role of Larry David has been the greatest honor of my life. In researching this multi-faceted, multi-talented man, I discovered that there’s more to him than I ever could have imagined: He speaks six languages, brines his own pickles, and spearheads a national movement to install a bidet in every home. I’ve also been told from numerous sources that he is the most generous of lovers. I am so excited to once again transform into this force of nature. I only pray that I can do him justice.”

In addition to Larry David, the cast includes Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman, J.B. Smoove, Cheryl Hines, Richard Lewis, Vince Vaughn, and Ted Danson. Larry David, Jeff Garlin, and Jeff Schaffer executive produce, with Laura Streicher and Jennifer Corey co-executive producing.

“Larry outdoes himself season after season and always manages to come back when the audience needs him most. We’re thrilled for him, Jeff Schaffer, and our phenomenal cast to continue making us laugh and cringe in equal measure,” stated Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming.

The critically acclaimed comedy has won Emmy, AFI, Directors Guild of America, Producers Guild of America, and Writers Guild of America awards.

Curb Your Enthusiasm‘s synopsis: “Originally debuting on HBO in 2001 and with 110 completed episodes to date, Curb Your Enthusiasm stars Seinfeld co-creator David as an over-the-top version of himself in an unsparing but tongue-in-cheek depiction of his fictionalized life.

The comedy series continues to prove how seemingly trivial details of one’s day-to-day life can precipitate a catastrophic chain of events. To keep the narrative spontaneous, the series is shot without a script and cast members are given scene outlines and improvise lines as they go.”

The nearly three-minute trailer begins with Galadriel (Cate Blanchett in the films, Morfydd Clark in the series) declaring, “My brother gave his life hunting the enemy. His task is now mine.”

Amid the action, there are a lot of shots of characters slowly turning toward the camera.

Among the characters showcased in the final trailer are Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), Elrond (Robert Aramayo), High King Gil-galad (Benjamin Walker), Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards), Elanor “Nori” Brandyfoot (Markella Kavenagh), and Largo Brandyfoot (Dylan Smith).

The trailer also features The Stranger (Daniel Weyman), Isildur (Maxim Baldry), Eärien (Ema Horvath), Elendil (Lloyd Owen), Pharazôn (Trystan Gravelle), Queen Regent Míriel (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), King Durin III (Peter Mullan), Prince Durin IV (Owain Arthur), Princess Disa (Sophia Nomvete), Halbrand (Charlie Vickers), Bronwyn (Nazanin Boniadi), and Arondir (Ismael Cruz Córdova).

The official synopsis:

Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and one of the greatest villains that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.

Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared reemergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.
