Gravitas Ventures, an Anthem Sports & Entertainment company, has acquired the U.S. rights to Connie Cocchia’s coming-of-age drama “When Time Got Louder.” The film will be released on Nov. 17 in select theaters and on VOD.
“’When Time Got Louder’ is a powerful story filled with emotion. It’s a great addition to the coming-of-age genre, and we can’t be more happy to bring it to audiences,” stated Cameron Moore, senior director of theatrical distribution, who negotiated the deal on behalf of Gravitas.
Willow Shields (“The Hunger Games” franchise) stars as Abbie, who is departing for college and leaving her parents (Elizabeth Mitchell and Lochlyn Munro) and brother (Jonathan Simao), who has autism and is non-verbal.

Fletcher and Kelsea Ballerini say goodbye to a past love in the video for their song “Better Version.” On Friday, the Girl of My Dreams musician released the video for their duet, which followed both stars getting out of relationships in separate storylines.

Elle Mills‘ first short film has been picked up by content creator-focused studio/distribution platform Creator+.
Mills—a longtime YouTuber with 1.75 million subscribers—raised almost 24,000 on IndieGoGo to produce Reply, which she describes as “Ferris Bueller + Parent Trap + 13 Going on 30 + Wes Anderson but gay?”
The short film follows 15-year-old Sam (Anthony Rosenthal), who finds a box of tapes documenting his mother Casey’s (Ciara Riley Wilson) last summer at her childhood home—which was also the summer an intriguing new neighbor Hayden (Ava Capri) moved in next door.
“‘Reply‘ was very much a passion project—it’s a love letter to my high school self and the film I wish I had growing up,” Mills said in a statement. “Getting to work with Creator+ to finally release this into the world has been a dream come true experience.”

“Do Revenge” was in jeopardy of losing one or both of its stars when a twist of fate allowed director Jennifer Kaitlyn Robinson to cast her dream performers. In fact, she was able to move production to Atlanta a month before filming began in order to keep Maya Hawke, who was filming “Stranger Things” Season 4 at the time, as antagonist Eleanor in the film.
In the Netflix teen dark comedy, Hawke costars as Eleanor alongside Camila Mendes, who plays the other half of the deceitful duo as Drea Torres, the fallen “it” girl.
“We cast the movie in 2020. Cami and Maya both signed on, and then ‘Stranger Things’ pushed, which means that in our window where we were making the movie we technically lost Maya,” Robinson said in a recent zoom interview with TheWrap. “If we had waited for Maya to complete ‘Stranger Things,’ we would have lost Cami and...

“Do Revenge” brought colorful chaos to Netflix screens last weekend in more ways than one. Eleanor Levetan (Maya Hawke) and Drea Torres (Camila Mendes) team up to do each other’s revenge, switching targets so that Drea goes for Eleanor’s bully while Eleanor goes for Drea’s ex-boyfriend Max Broussard (Austin Abrams). The film, directed by Jennifer Kaitlyn Robinson, also stars a host of young Hollywood personas including Talia Ryder, Rish Shah, Alisha Boe, Jonathan Daviss, Ava Capri, Paris Berelc, Maia Reficco, Sophie Turner and Sarah Michelle Gellar.
High school is the setting for the riff on Alfred Hitchcock’s “Strangers on a Train” (1951) — Rosehill Country Day in particular — with Sarah Michelle Gellar (“Buffy” herself) as headmaster, and in keeping with the teen vibe the “Do Revenge” soundtrack is full of pitch perfect songs.

‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Writer Jennifer Kaytin Robinson ‘Would Love’ to Direct a Marvel or DC Movie
[Editor’s note: The following article contains spoilers for “Do Revenge,” now streaming on Netflix.]
Since her film debut in 2019 with “Someone Great,” Jennifer Kaytin Robinson has been determined to tell stories about “complicated, messy” women — including in the MCU.
Robinson, whose latest film “Do Revenge” is now streaming on Netflix, co-wrote “Thor: Love and Thunder” with director Taika Waititi, all while writing and helming the ’90s-inspired indie feature starring Maya Hawke and Camila Mendes as Eleanor and Drea, two “fucked up TaskRabbits” out to avenge one another’s high school horrors. The ensemble cast including Austin Abrams, Sophie Turner, Ava Capri, Maia Reficco, Paris Berelc, Talia Ryder, Jonathan Daviss, Rish Shah, and Alisha Boe, even dubbed themselves the “Revengers” with a special nod to Marvel’s “Avengers.”
While Robinson especially focused on penning the Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) storyline for “Love and Thunder,” the “Hawkeye” consulting producer hasn’t written off directing her own standalone Marvel film someday.

Note: The following contains spoilers for the “Do Revenge” ending. Do not read until after you’ve seen the film.
The Hitchcockian Netflix movie “Do Revenge” contains several twists and turns, even by “Strangers on a Train” standards. Jennifer Kaytin Robinson describes Hitchcock’s classic “Strangers on a Train” as one source of inspiration for “Do Revenge,” which stars Camila Mendes, Maya Hawke, Austin Abrams and many more famous young faces. But one thing both have in common is a whopper of an ending.
“Most of it is departure I think honestly, it’s really just the very basic conceit,” director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson told TheWrap in a zoom interview during which she also discussed the “Do Revenge” twist ending, as did Maya Hawke.
In the 1951 Alfred Hitchcock thriller, two random strangers meet on a train and get to talking about how they’re not exactly happy with their lots in life.

Austin Abrams’ character Max Broussard in “Do Revenge” could not be more different from his role in “Euphoria” as Ethan Lewis. And for a little bit, Abrams went back and forth between shooting the new Netflix movie (now streaming) and Season 2 of Sam Levinson’s HBO drama.
“It was really fun to go from a very nice, gentle, thoughtful guy to [an] egomaniac,” he said in an interview with TheWrap about his “Do Revenge” character. “That is just really flashy, really craving attention.”

Maya Hawke, Camila Mendes, a Bougie with a capital B high school and two thirsts for vengeance complete the recipe for Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s latest film, “Do Revenge.”
Based broadly on Alfred Hitchcock’s “Strangers on a Train” (1951), “Do Revenge” sets a similar switched “getting back at” story in a younger scenario: the elite Rosehill Country Day high school full of entitled and wealthy students. If the story or cast doesn’t sound appealing, maybe the soundtrack will.
Fans of the work of Hitchcock and of Mendes in “Riverdale” or Hawke in “Stranger Things” as well as Austin Abrams’ work in “Euphoria” may be wondering how to watch “Do Revenge.” We’ve rounded up all the details below.

Netflix's newest teen movie, "Do Revenge," features more than a few throwbacks to the classic teen movies of the 1990s and 2000s. The film's soundtrack, for example, mixes together current pop hits with songs by bands like Hole and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Another throwback? In the movie, the headmaster of the high school attended by Drea (Camila Mendes) and Eleanor (Maya Hawke) is played by none other than Sarah Michelle Gellar, which makes sense since Gellar first burst onto the scene in the classic high school series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
"Do Revenge" has one other cameo up its sleeve. Sophie Turner appears in the film as another girl who attends tennis camp with Drea and Eleanor, and she has a pretty significant role in the plot. "I had the best time doing this fun little cameo," Turner said of her time on set in an Instagram post on Sept.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you haven’t watched “Brave,” the series finale of “Love, Victor,” now streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
Hulu’s “Love, Victor” came full circle in its series finale, ending where it began — atop Creekwood High’s Winter Carnival Ferris wheel.
In the closing moments of the third season, Victor (Michael Cimino) returned to the spot where, exactly one year earlier in the pilot, he took a ride with former girlfriend Mia (Rachel Hilson) to conceal his sexuality. Only this time, it was his ex-boyfriend Benji (George Sear) sitting beside Victor, professing their love for one another after they spent the season apart so Benji could address his alcoholism and Victor could get to know himself.
“Victor found out who he was this season, and realized that Benji was the right person for him,” Cimino told Variety.
Elsewhere in the finale, it was happy endings all around,...

Note: Spoilers for the entirety of “Love, Victor” Season 3 below.
For the past three years, “Love, Victor” has shepherded a wave of uplifting stories centered around young, queer people, including Hulu’s “Crush,” HBO Max’s “Genera+ion,” and Netflix’s “The Half of It” and “Heartstopper.” The serialized spin-off to the 2018 film “Love, Simon,” following Michael Cimino’s Victor Salazar, a closeted high schooler of Colombian and Puerto Rican descent, was heralded as having rectified some of the sins of its predecessor, offering a more nuanced and intricate representation of LGBTQ+ youth.
With its third season, which debuted on Hulu (and Disney+) in its entirety June 15, the series is coming to a close.

For the past three years, “Love, Victor” has shepherded a wave of uplifting stories centered around young, queer people, including Hulu’s “Crush,” HBO Max’s “Genera+ion,” and Netflix’s “The Half of It” and “Heartstopper.” The serialized spin-off to the 2018 film “Love, Simon,” following Michael Cimino’s Victor Salazar, a closeted high schooler of Colombian and Puerto Rican descent, was heralded as having rectified some of the sins of its predecessor, offering a more nuanced and intricate representation of LGBTQ+ youth.
With its third season, which debuted on Hulu (and Disney+) in its entirety June 15, the series is coming to a close. The show’s unexpected end — announced back in February — came despite its maintenance of strong audience and critical reviews, with Them magazine describing it as “distressing proof that nothing pure lasts forever.”

“Love, Victor” will return in its Pride month tradition for a third and final season this June, described as “one last chance to feel the love.” The first season of the “Love, Simon” (2018) spinoff debuted in the summer of 2020, providing a bright spot amidst a lot of historical turmoil. Season 2 followed in the summer of 2021 with 10 packed episodes that introduced some new characters, relationships and obstacles for the Creekwood crew.
We left off with Victor choosing between Benji (George Sear) and Rahim (Anthony Keyvan) at the end of Season 2 after Mia’s dad’s wedding to Veronica (Sophia Bush). Other connections fizzled out for new ones to form, and several threads were left untied.
Fans of Becky Albertali’s original book “Simons vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda,” the 2018 movie adaptation “Love, Simon” or of the latest spinoff series may be wondering how to watch “Love, Victor,” and there are some updated options.

Victor (Michael Cimino) just wants to start over — just as the end is near.
The third and final season of “Love, Victor” premieres June 15 on Hulu and, this time, also on Disney+ as the streamer expands its older-skewing offerings. Season 2 left off with Victor’s love triangle heating up between his first love Benji (George Sear) and new student Rahim (Anthony Kevyan), who recently came out to his Muslim family after receiving advice from Victor.
As graduation looms and Victor tries to determine who he wants to (re)start a relationship with, the high school senior hopes to just “go back to that perfect moment” of falling in love for the first time.
“A lot of the time, the scariest things are also the most important, like admitting who you love or who you are,” Victor says in the trailer.

After three seasons, we've reached the end of Love, Victor.
Hulu on Friday unveiled the trailer for Love, Victor Season 3, and it teases some resolution.
The second season wrapped on a thrilling cliffhanger as Victor was forced to choose between Benji and Rahim.
“Are you sure nothing’s going on with you and Rahim?” Benji asks in the trailer.
"There was something between us. I thought we were friends, and things got confused," Victor responds.
However, Benji appears to want to sort out his problems on his own, and we see him packing a car.
Is the end in sight for the prominent couple on the hit dramedy?
"Did I ever tell you about the first time that I saw you?" Victor asks Benji in the same scene, seemingly confirming that something did happen.
"Can we just go back to that perfect moment. You know, start over?"

“Love, Victor” is headed to Disney+, after all.
The coming-of-age series, based on the queer teen romantic drama “Love, Simon,” was originally developed for the streamer, but was pushed to Hulu after executives worried that certain issues on the show, including teen sexuality and alcohol use, weren’t a right fit for Disney+.
Now, the third and final season, as well as Seasons 1 and 2, will be available on Disney+ as well as on Hulu beginning on June 15.

“Over the top” is a relative concept in the bludgeoning, unabashedly theatrical sport of mixed martial arts, which makes cartoon hero-villains of stars like Conor McGregor, even as their fighting gets grimily down-and-dirty. So it perhaps goes against the spirit of things to describe “Embattled,” a sports drama animated by a clear McGregor proxy, as a bit overblown. Yet at several points in Georgian director Nick Sarkisov’s roaring, blood-and-guts film, it’s hard not to wish it would take things down a notch: A hokey, old-fashioned father-son meller clothed in a younger man’s bling-encrusted robes, it increasingly sacrifices emotional credibility for the violent, amped-up bravado of Mma itself. By the time it pivots into outright revenge fantasy territory, the script’s earlier attempts at intimate character work are largely undone, though committed performances by Stephen Dorff and Darren Mann remain.

Back home in Bogota, teen brothers Carly and Mateo — played by siblings (and Disney Channel veterans) Mateo and Moisés Arias — are metal-blasting, skateboard-riding punks, and reluctant partners in crime. Carly, the sensible one, can’t prevent Mateo from dynamiting a dollhouse. But he’ll swoop in, hair flapping like a vampire’s cape, to rescue his younger brother from the cops — and then scold Mateo himself.

Arango, a Colombian himself, emigrated to the states in the late ’90s, when the film is less-than-convincingly set. (At least Cannibal Corpse T-shirts are the eternal metalhead uniform.)
The boys don’t fit into the suburbs. Their classmates seem unable to...
