Warner Bros. Television Group has struck a first-look TV deal with writer/director/producer Paul Feig and his producing partner Laura Fischer.

The agreement will see Feigco Entertainment develop and create original programming across all genres, including live-action scripted, unscripted and animation for all platforms, including HBO, Max, external streaming services and the broadcast networks. The multi-year pact marks Feig’s first with the studio. Other terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“I’ve long been a fan of Warner Bros. Television Group because of their very diverse and far-reaching slate of quality TV programming,” Feig said in a statement. “So, it’s an absolute honor for Laura Fischer and me to be joining forces with Clancy [Collins White], Parul [Agrawal] and Adrienne [Turner] to create new and innovative shows to entertain viewers in a time when we all desperately need some great escapist fare. Long live Wbtvg!”

Warner Bros. Television Group has signed a first-look deal with writer, director and producer Paul Feig and his producing partner Laura Fischer.

Under the multi-year agreement, Feig’s first at the Warner Bros. Discovery studio, he will develop and create original programming in all genres — live-action scripted, unscripted, animation — to be produced through his Feigco Entertainment production company for all platforms, including Wbd’s HBO and Max as well as external streaming services and the broadcast networks.

While he has branched into features, most recently directing and producing Another Simple Favor, starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, for Amazon, Feig’s roots are in television where his career was launched by the 1999 cult favorite Freaks & Geaks, which he created.

More recently, he collaborated with Lionsgate Television on several series, including Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Minx, Love Life and Welcome To Flatch as an extension to his...

Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Freaks and Geeks) and his producing partner Laura Fischer have signed a multiyear first-look deal with the Warner Bros. Television Group, marking his first deal with the Warner Bros. studio. The news comes exactly three weeks after Feig inked a first-look film deal with Lionsgate, which is where he previously had a similar deal for television.

Feig will develop and create original programming in all genres — live-action scripted, unscripted, animation — to be produced through his Feigco Entertainment production company for all platforms. Those platforms include HBO and Max, as well has external streaming services and broadcast networks.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Paul Feig has inked a first-look film producing deal with Lionsgate, with the studio announcing the news during its presentation at CinemaCon.

Lionsgate chair Adam Fogelson revealed Tuesday at the Las Vegas event that Feig, director of the forthcoming sequel Another Simple Favor, signed the pact through his production company Feigco Entertainment, headed up by Feig and producing partner Laura Fischer.

“From his breakthrough with Bridesmaids to his most recent movie The Housemaid, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with Paul for 15 years,” Fogelson said. “His sense of character and story are among the best in the business — that’s why his movies are so relentlessly entertaining. Paul and his producing partner Laura are a formidable team, and I’m delighted to be expanding our relationship.”

Added Feig, “The reason I wanted to call Lionsgate my home is because working with Adam, Nathan [Kahane], Erin [Westerman] and the team is always an incredibly positive experience.

Lionsgate has signed a first look film producing deal with their A Simple Favor franchise and The Housemaid filmmaker Paul Feig and his Feigco Entertainment.

The news comes in the wake of Feig’s sequel Another Simple Favor world premiering at SXSW to a 78% fresh Rotten Tomatoes critics score; that pic set to stream on May 1 on Prime Video.

Feig runs Feigco with his producing partner Laura Fischer.

The announcement was made today by Adam Fogelson, chair, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, at CinemaCon today.

Fogelson said, “From his breakthrough with Bridesmaids to his most recent movie The Housemaid, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with Paul for 15 years. His sense of character and story are among the best in the business—that’s why his movies are so relentlessly entertaining. Paul and his producing partner Laura are a formidable team, and I’m delighted to be expanding our relationship.

Get those engines running action fans, because we now have our first look at Duster, the new Max original series created by J.J. Abrams and Latoya Morgan that stars beloved Lost actor Josh Holloway. Set in 1972, the crime thriller centers around the first black female FBI agent as she teams up with a getaway driver to take down a major crime syndicate operating in the Southwest.

The new teaser trailer for Duster was released today (seen below), and showcases all the action and drama we can expect from Abrams' new creation, which definitely seems more R-rated than some of his previous offerings. We catch a glimpse of the first meeting between Holloway's character Jim and FBI agent Nina (Rachel Hilson) before things get wild. Sex, drugs, and action are all front and center in the new series, as is Holloway's trademark charm.

Holloway is no stranger to the action genre,...

Exclusive: Essex College is closing its doors at Max as the streamer has canceled The Sex Lives Of College Girls after three seasons. But all is not lost for the ensemble comedy co-created and executive produced by Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble. I hear producing studio Warner Bros. Television has been looking for ways to keep the show going, with Netflix, where Kaling has a longstanding relationship, believed to be a long-shot new home prospect given the complexities of a potential move. A rep for Wbtv declined comment.

It’s been almost two months since Season 3 of The Sex Lives Of College Girls ended its run on Max. The writing had been on the wall — possibly impacted by the departure of original cast member Reneé Rapp a few episodes in, the comedy’s third season could not match the critical and fan response as well as the viewership of the first two,...

Michael Angarano is making his sophomore directorial effort with road trip coming of age comedy “Sacramento” — and it sure doesn’t hurt to have an all-star cast behind the wheel.

“Minx” alum Angarano directs and stars in “Sacramento,” which he co-wrote with Chris Smith. This is Angarano’s second feature he’s directed; the star made his debut with 2017’s “Avenues.”

“Sacramento” centers on Angarano and Michael Cera’s characters, as the duo embark on a road trip before Cera’s onscreen wife Kristen Stewart gives birth. “PEN15” co-creator and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” actress Maya Erskine, who is also Angarano’s real-life partner, co-stars.

The official logline reads: “Following the death of his father, energetic and free-spirited Rickey (Angarano) convinces long-time friend Glenn (Cera) to go on an impromptu road trip from Los Angeles to Sacramento. Frustrated by Rickey’s Peter Pan complex, Glenn is encouraged by his pregnant...

Exclusive: Korean-Australian actress Alicia Hannah-Kim (Cobra Kai) has signed with 3 Arts for representation.

Hannah-Kim joined the cast of Netflix’s hit series Cobra Kai in Season 5 as the first female sensei ‘Kim Da-Eun’ in a recurring role. Kim shocked viewers in the second part of the sixth and final season when things between her and nemesis Chozen (Yuji Okumoto) turned steamy when both were in Spain for the Sekai Taikai.

The Karate Kid Universe series is created by Jon Hurwitz, Josh Heald & Hayden Schlossberg and will drop its final installment on February 13. It stars Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, Xolo Maridueña, Tanner Buchanan, Mary Mouser, Peyton List, Martin Kove, Courtney Henggeler, Vanessa Rubio, Thomas Ian Griffith and Dallas Dupree Young. Cobra Kai‘s sixth season trended in the Top 5 for several weeks following the release of Parts 1 and 2.

Hannah-Kim recently wrapped production on the Disney+ and Hulu Korean spy drama Tempest,...

There’s a fabulous reunion happening behind the scenes of Peacock’s hilarious new comedy, Laid. Michael Angarano, who plays one of the former lovers of the show’s main character, the bewitched and bothered Ruby (Stephanie Hsu), has reunited with a former Will & Grace pal. That’s Laid executive producer and co-showrunner Sally Bradford McKenna, the Emmy-nominated writer and producer who penned 14 episodes of Will & Grace from 2001 and 2006. In a recent interview with MovieWeb, Angarano reflected on starring as young Elliot, Jack McFarland’s (Seam Hayes) son on the hit show, noting:

“Oh man, that show was majorly influential on my life… definitely, obviously, my career. It had just such great reach and people to this day talk about that show… [they] see me on that show and that character. But seeing those actors just at their level of professionalism and creativity, and just how generous they were with each other…...

The latest collaboration between Netflix and Executive Producers The Duffer Brothers (“Stranger Things”) is the supernatural mystery series “The Boroughs.” Per Variety, six new cast members have been added, including actors Dee Wallace and Ed Begley Jr. (Strange Darling).

Rafael Casal, Jane Kaczmarek (“The Changeling”), Eric Edelstein, and Mousa Hussein Kraish have also joined the cast.

The logline for the upcoming series sounds like a blend of “Stranger Things“ and Cocoon that sees Senior citizens saving the world from an otherworldly threat. The official logline:

“In a seemingly picturesque retirement community in the New Mexico desert, a group of unlikely heroes must band together to stop an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they don’t have… time.”

The six new cast additions join previously announced cast members Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Denis O’Hare, Clarke Peters, and Bill Pullman. In other words, “The Boroughs“ is shaping up to have an impressive cast.

New casting information has just been revealed for The Boroughs, the next Netflix series executive produced by Ross Duffer and Matt Duffer. This will mark the follow-up show for the Duffer Brothers after they conclude their work on Stranger Things.

Per Deadline, a slew of new names have been announced for The Boroughs. Among them is Jane Kaczmarek (The Changeling), who was previously nominated for an Emmy for playing the family matriarch in the hit sitcom Malcolm in the Middle. Other new names joining The Boroughs include Rafael Casal, Ed Begley Jr., Eric Edelstein, Mousa Hussein Kraish, and horror genre icon Dee Wallace. Each of these actors is reportedly set to be featured in a recurring role.

The upcoming Netflix supernatural drama “The Boroughs” has added six new cast members.

Rafael Casal, Dee Wallace, Ed Begley Jr., Jane Kaczmarek, Eric Edelstein, and Mousa Hussein Kraish have all joined the show, which hails from creators Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews and boasts the Duffer brothers among its executive producers.

They join previously announced cast members Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Denis O’Hare, Clarke Peters, and Bill Pullman will all star in the eight-episode series, which was greenlit at the streamer back in April 2023.

The series’ logline states, “In a seemingly picturesque retirement community, a group of unlikely heroes must band together to stop an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they don’t have… time.”

Casal is repped by CAA, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman. Wallace is repped by Amsel Eisenstadt Frazier & Hinojosa Talent Agency and Kramer Management. Begley is repped by Innovative Artists and Constellation Media Group.

Over the past three years, Max Winkler has become near-synonymous with the expanding Ryan Murphy TV portfolio. The indie filmmaker and TV director has helmed episodes of six different Murphy productions during this brief period, most recently tackling the bulk of FX’s Grotesquerie and a pivotal episode of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story for Netflix.

Winkler is already at work on their next collaboration. He’ll serve as director and executive producer on the yet-to-be-titled third installment of the Monster franchise, which turns its focus to 1950s serial killer Ed Gein. The project isn’t just a reunion for Winkler, Murphy and co-creator Ian Brennan; Winkler was instrumental in bringing on another past associate: the series’ lead. Charlie Hunnam, who previously starred in Winkler’s 2019 boxing drama Jungleland, is playing Gein. And Winkler is already quite bullish on how it’s coming together.

Additionally, 2521 Entertainment has been set to produce and finance the film in partnership with Sk Global.

Others in the cast, as previously announced, include Jeff Daniels, Jared Harris, J.K. Simmons, Hope Davis, Branka Katic and Aya Cash.

Entering production in Iceland in early October, with extensive filming at Höfði House, the actual site of the 1986 Reykjavik summit, Reykjavik explains why the event marked one of the most significant diplomatic achievements of modern times. The film takes place at the most dangerous point of the Cold War, watching as political enemies Ronald Reagan (Daniels) and Mikhail Gorbachev (Harris) meet in Iceland over one long, tense weekend to decide if there will...

Jake Johnson has become quite a well-known actor since his role in Fox’s New Girl. Playing the character of Nick Miller, his performance was iconic in so many ways, becoming one of the most unhinged and beloved characters in all of sitcom history. Since then, the actor has only increased his versatility in his craft, being a part of projects like Self Reliance, Let’s Be Cops, Minx, and most famously, voicing Peter B. Parker in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Exclusive: Dan Magnante has been hired by 2Am, the production/ management company founded by Christine D’Souza Gelb, David Hinojosa and Kevin Rowe. Magnante will join as a producer with a focus on television.

Overseen by Hinojosa, 2Am’s film and TV production division just launched with a Venice Film Festival World Premiere Halina Reijn’s Babygirl—starring Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson, and Antonio Banderas. A North American premiere is upcoming at TIFF, as is one for Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist, on which Hinojosa was exec producer. The company is also in post-production on Celine Song’s Materialists, featuring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal. Previously, 2Am produced Song’s directing debut, the Oscar-nominated film Past Lives.

Magnante will be based in 2Am’s Los Angeles office with D’Souza Gelb and Julia Nelson. Magnante has produced both film and television, and he spent over a decade at Paul Feig’s Feigco Entertainment.

Exclusive: The Disney+ and Hulu Korean spy drama Tempest has added John Cho (Star Trek), Christopher Gorham (The Lincoln Lawyer), Alicia Hannah-Kim (Cobra Kai) and Jacob Bertrand (Cobra Kai) to its cast, Deadline has learned. They join the previously announced leads Gianna Jun and Gang Dongwon.

Disney+ and Hulu tease “assassinations, political games, conspiracies and spies will collide” in 2025 when Tempest premieres in the United States. Production is currently underway in Seoul.

From writer Chung Seokyung, Tempest follows Seo Munju (Gianna Jun), a highly accomplished diplomat and former ambassador to the United States, and Sanho (Gang Dongwon), an international special agent shrouded in a veil of secrets, as they race to uncover the truth behind an attack that threatens the future stability of the Korean peninsula.

Details regarding who Cho, Gorham, Hannah-Kim and Bertrand will portray are under wraps.

Tempest is directed by Kim Heewon and co-directed by Korean martial arts director Heo Myunghaeng (The Outlaws 4). The series is produced by Imaginus, Showrunners, Studio AA and Action School.

Cho can next be seen in the upcoming sci-fi horror film Afraid opposite Katherine Waterston which opens on August 30. He is best known for his portrayal of Hikaru Sulu in Star Trek (2009) and its two sequels Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) and Star Trek Beyond (2016) and Harold Lee in the Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg hit comedy Harold & Kumar franchise led by Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004). His recent credits include HBO’s The Sympathizer, The Afterparty for Apple TV+, Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop and Fox’s The Exorcist for TV. His film credits include Don’t Make Me Go (2022), The Grudge (2019) and The Graduates, which he also executive produced.

The Tempest reunites Cho and Gorham, who starred in the ABC series Ugly Betty.

Gorham most recently starred in Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer. Before that, he had series regular roles in Netflix’s Insatiable, USA’s Covert Affairs and The WB’s Popular. He is best known for his portrayal of Henry Grubstick in Ugly Betty opposite America Ferrera.

Hannah-Kim most recently starred as Sensei Kim Da-eun in seasons 5 and 6 of Cobra Kai, a continuation of The Karate Kid story starring Ralph Macchio and William Zabka. Hannah-Kim co-starred in the drama series alongside Bertrand. Cobra Kai was No. 1 on TV globally in its debut week on Netflix with nearly 15M views. Since then, its viewership doubled its viewership for Season 6A. Before that, she recurred in Max’s Minx.

Bertrand is currently starring in Netflix’s Cobra Kai as Eli “Hawk” Moskowitz, a role he’s portrayed across the show’s six seasons. His prior credits include lead roles in Max’s Batwheels, Disney Channel’s The Swap and for Nickelodeon, Jinxed and Marvin Marvin.

Starz president of programming Kathryn Busby believes “there’s no set answer” to a media company’s success amid a contracted Hollywood marketplace. But for the premium cable network and streamer, an adults-only identity helps keep its slate focused as competitors struggle to define their strategies with less money to spend on new shows.

Like many Hollywood distributors, Starz has made tough calls to adjust to industry changes. The network recently canceled a number of original series — including the Stephen Amell-led “Heels,” and comedies “Blindspotting,” “Run the World” and “Minx” — to prepare for a planned separation from its parent company Lionsgate that will be official by the end of this year.

Still the network’s upcoming slate is full of promising originals, including the Shailene Woodley-led limited series “Three Women” (which it picked up after Showtime dropped it from their slate); a new talk show hosted by rapper...

Direct-to-consumer revenue is up 70% year-over-year for Warner Bros. Discovery, and the ascendence of the ad tier of Max is a big reason why.

By now, even those who don’t follow big media companies closely likely know that Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is a man singularly focused on the bottom line. Zaslav’s two-year tenure as head of Wbd has been marked by numerous periods of frugality from the company, which is hardly surprising considering the 2022 merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery created a firm with more than $40 billion of debt. Content cuts became a part of life for the company’s streaming service that was known as HBO Max when Zaslav took over, and viewers lost access to everything from “Westworld” to episodes of “Sesame Street” as the company tried to slash its way to better financial standing. HBO Max first launched its ad-supported plan in 2021, but the...

Denis Leary is set to star in the newly greenlit single-camera comedy Going Dutch from creator/showrunner Joel Church-Cooper (Brockmire) and Fox Entertainment Studios. Leary executive produces alongside Jack Leary (Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll) under their Amoeba production banner and Church-Cooper.

Going Dutch follows an arrogant loudmouth U.S. Army Colonel who, after an epically unfiltered rant, is reassigned to the Netherlands, where he is punished with a command position at the least important army base in the world. After serving with distinction in every warzone of the last three decades, he now finds himself in charge of a base with no guns, weapons, or tactical purpose.

Instead, it has a Michelin-star level commissary, a top-notch bowling alley, and the best (and only) fromagerie in the U.S. Army. Surrounded by a diverse group of underdogs, the colonel tries to reinstall military discipline and professionalism with the...

Red, White & Royal Blue 2: Everything You Need To Know!( Photo Credit – IMDb )

The heartwarming romcom Red, White & Royal Blue is returning with a sequel, and Amazon MGM Studios is developing the film. Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez will return as Prince Henry and Alex Claremont-Diaz again. The studio has recently shared the news of the second film in the series, and today, we have brought you every detail about the potential Red, White & Royal Blue 2. Keep scrolling for more.

About the movie-

The first film was released in 2023 and was based on the 2019 novel by Casey McQuiston. It revolved around a developing love affair between the son of the president of the United States and a British prince. It was reportedly the last movie to come out of Amazon Studios before it changed to Amazon MGM Studios.

Red, White & Royal Blue premiered at the BFI IMAX last year in London,...

Following its huge success with Red, White & Royal Blue, the adaptation of Casey McQuiston’s bestseller, which last year came in as one of its top three most-watched romantic comedies of all time, Amazon MGM Studios has greenlighted development on a sequel, with stars Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez set to return.

After making his feature debut with the first film, Matthew López has returned to write the script for the sequel — this time, alongside McQuiston. Berlanti Schechter Films’ Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter will return to produce the film, joined by the banner’s Michael McGrath, as well as López. McQuiston will executive produce.

Released last August, Red, White & Royal Blue follows Alex Claremont-Diaz (Perez), who upon his mother’s (Uma Thurman) election as President, is promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome, charismatic, brilliant — his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House.

Dropout has set a new series of live recorded comedy specials titled “Dropout Presents.” The series will launch on June 12 with Hank Green’s “Pissing Out Cancer,” taped at Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles

Green is a YouTuber best known for the “Vlogbrothers” channel he runs alongside his brother, John Green, with whom he also produces educational shows such as “Crash Course.” He is also the author of the novels “An Absolutely Remarkable Thing” (2018) and “A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor” (2020). Green was diagnosed with cancer in May 2023 and has thoroughly documented his experiences with the illness on the internet.

“There are good parts of cancer,” Green jokes in a trailer for “Dropout Presents.” “I was thinking I was maybe gonna get that Jeremy Allen White situation going on. I got the Mark Zuckerberg situation instead.”

Six more specials will debut on Dropout as part of “Dropout Presents” throughout the year. All were recorded in L.

This holiday season is one where the offspring of iconic Hollywood families come together, apparently.

“Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point,” which is set to debut in the Director’s Fortnight at Cannes, stars Francesca Scorsese and Sawyer Spielberg, two film stars in their own rite who hail from respective auteurs Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg.

Decade-plus indie staple Michael Cera leads the latest feature directed by Tyler Taormina; Cera also produces the ensemble family dramedy that marks Taormina’s follow-up to his 2019 coming-of-age comedy “Ham on Rye.”

Set during one Christmas Eve, a family gathers for what could be the last holiday in their ancestral home. As the night wears on and generational tensions arise, one of the teenagers sneaks out with her friends to claim the wintry suburb for her own, per the official synopsis. Cera is seen donning a cop uniform in one of the first look images,...

Kristen Stewart continues her 2024 indie reign following the Sundance premieres of “Love Lies Bleeding” and “Love Me.”

“Oppenheimer” cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema won Feature Film at the 38th ASC Awards, March 3 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The Oscar favorite beat the other four Oscar nominees: “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Maestro,” Poor Things,” and “El Conde”.

This marked van Hoytema’s first ASC win after three nominations (including “Dunkirk” and “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”) and positions the Dutch-Swedish cinematographer for his first Oscar win. Significantly, “Oppenheimer” represents the culmination of his experimental IMAX collaboration with director Christopher Nolan. The duo achieved a new kind of intimate spectacle with this psychological thriller about physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer (Best Actor nominee Cillian Murphy), the “father of the atomic bomb.” Van Hoytema used the large-format IMAX camera to explore the landscape of faces; namely, Oppenheimer’s in color from his perspective and Salieri-like adversary Admiral Lewis Strauss’ (Best Supporting Actor nominee Robert Downey Jr.) in black-and-white from his.

Hoyte Van Hoytema has taken top honors at the 38th annual American Society of Cinematographers Awards for his work on “Oppenheimer.”

Van Hoytema topped a field that included Edward Lachman for “El Conde, Matthew Libatique for “Maestro,” Rodrigo Prieto for “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Robbie Ryan for “Poor Things.”

The awards were handed out Sunday night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel with Ed Helms hosting the festivities.

All five theatrical feature film nominees are also nominated for best cinematography at the Oscars.

In its 38-year history, only 17 have gone on to win the Oscar. Last year, Mandy Walker made history when she became the first woman to win an ASC award for her work on “Elvis.” The Academy Award ultimately went to James Friend for “All Quiet on the Western Front.”

On the TV side, winners included Carl Herse for “Barry” and Ben Kutchins for “Boston Strangler.”

Exclusive: A new single-camera comedy series is in the works at Fox from Denis Leary, Jack Leary and Joel Church-Cooper.

The series, titled Going Dutch, is part of Denis Leary’s development deal with Fox Entertainment, which he inked in 2020. Church-Cooper will pen the series, while Denis and Jack Leary will executive produce.

In Going Dutch, a decorated, hard-ass colonel is tasked with running the least important U.S. Army base in the world, located in the tulip-hugging, wine-chugging Netherlands.

Denis Leary previously starred in Fox’s The Moodys for two seasons. His deal with Fox, which runs through his recently launched production company Amoeba, tasks him with developing and producing comedy, drama and animation. He is repped by WME and Ziffren Brittenham.

His son Jack is a writer, producer and director who runs Amoeba alongside Denis. Under the Amoeba banner, Jack oversees development for various projects across the television, film and new media landscape.

Self Reliance is Jake Johnson's directorial debut with a stellar cast that turns absurdity into memorable characters. Anna Kendrick shines as Maddy, a woman who forms a romantic connection with the emotionally stunted Tommy. Biff Wiff delivers a standout performance as James, a homeless man who helps Tommy navigate the dangerous reality show.

Jake Johnson has been a staple of television for a long time, but he’s graduated to directing movies — and his directorial debut, Self Reliance, has a stellar cast to tell its wild, twisty comedic tale. Self Reliance has received a mostly positive critical reception, and while it’s quite absurd in its premise, the exceptional cast make the most out of it and turn their characters into memorable ones (even if some actors are just playing themselves).

Self Reliance premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival and follows Tommy, a man who’s seemingly hit rock...
