It’s been two weeks since dubious transportation breakdowns rendered TomorrowWorld the most controversial festival of the season, but it’s likely that developments will continue to pour in over many months to follow.
As you might have gleaned from our in-depth analysis of the factors that led to the disaster, the festival’s organizers have remained tight lipped about the exact causes of the transportation issues – and recent statements made by Chattahoochee Hills Mayor Tom Reed suggest that the same applies to public officials.
In an interview with local news station 11 Alive, Reed addressed what he considered to be the most pressing concerns of the festival: impacts on the surrounding residents. Addressing reports of “pets and mailboxes [being] hit and streets [being] torn apart,” he said:
We respect property rights here, and people are allowed to do what’s legal on their property – but they have to do it in a...

People Are People: Genz’s English Debut a Satisfactory B-Grade Noir
Expectations may a bet set a bit too high for Danish filmmaker Henrik Ruben Genz’s descent into the English language with his adaptation of Markus Sakey’s novel, Good People. Considering that 2008’s Terribly Happy, the director’s last film to play stateside, drew comparisons to the Coen Bros. and David Lynch, this latest effort pales severely in comparison, resembling more of a kitchen sink noir drowning in its own sea of dirty dishwater. Bereft of any vicious underpinnings or subversive class commentaries that would have at least presented something to chew on, we’re treated to the kind of deceptive web that doesn’t seem altogether probable from all its various angles.
Tom and Anna Reed (James Franco, Kate Hudson) are struggling to make ends meet after migrating to London to claim a sizeable home they’ve inherited.

James Franco seems to be everywhere these days, from starring as George in the recent Broadway adaptation Of Mice and Men to signing on to play The Room director Tommy Wiseau in the upcoming comedy The Disaster Artist. A film based on his collection of short stories, Palo Alto, came out in limited release this weekend, and he keeps doing weird antics on social media, in case all of the exposure he was already getting was not enough. Currently, he has close to a dozen films in post-production, but the next time you can catch him on the big screen is in Good People, a thriller from Danish director Henrik Ruben Genz.
Franco stars as Tom Reed in the film. After moving into his wife’s London house – her name is Anna and Kate Hudson has the role – Tom falls into debt. However, the couple finds that the tenant beneath...

We bring you whole boatload of pilot casting news, including Jenna Elfman eyeing another sitcom and Christina Ricci considering her first full-time series role.
Elfman, who starred in CBS' "Accidentally on Purpose" last season, is talking with ABC about starring in its comedy pilot "Bad Mom."

Ricci, meanwhile, is in negotiations for another ABC pilot, "Pan Am." She would play a flight attendant in the drama about the men and women who worked for the titular airline in the 1960s. Ricci has dabbled in series TV before, guesting on "Saving Grace," "Grey's Anatomy" and upcoming episodes of "CSI," but this would be her first regular role on a show. [Hollywood Reporter]
