Paramount+ announced Monday that Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening will star in “Jerry and Marge Go Large,” an original comedy film for the streaming service by Oscar and Emmy-winning director David Frankel.
Based on a true story, the film will see Cranston and Bening play Jerry and Marge Selbee, a retired couple living in Massachusetts who discover a mathematical loophole in the Massachusetts Lottery. By exploiting the system, the two win $27 million, using the money to revitalize their small Michigan town.
Brad Copeland will write the script from a Huffington Post article by Jason Fagone. Gil Netter will produce through Levantine Films with Amy Baer, who will produce through MRC Films’ new Landline Pictures label. Kevin Halloran is executive producer.
Frankel won an Emmy in 2004 for his directing work on the pilot episode of “Entourage” to go with his Oscar for the 1996 live action short film “Dear Diary.” His feature...

Exclusive: Universal Television, a division of NBCUniversal Content Studios, has optioned Peter Lefcourt’s novel, The Dreyfus Affair: A Love Story, for development as a high-end television series.
Oscar and Emmy winner David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada) is attached to direct and will co-write the pilot with Lefcourt. Frankel and Lefcourt are executive producers.
The acclaimed seriocomic novel, Lefcourt’s self-proclaimed “darkly comic look at homophobia in baseball,” is about a happily married, father of two, star shortstop Randy Dreyfus, who falls in love with his second baseman in the middle of a pennant race. Dreyfus’ affair creates reverberations for the World Series. In today’s world of sexual identity issues, that make headlines even on sports pages, the storyline is particularly relevant.
The Dreyfus Affair: A Love Story was initially published in 1992 by Random House in hardcover, then in 1993 by Harper Perennial as a paperback (14 printings).

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “I Am Not Okay With This,” streaming now on Netflix.
A teenage girl, seemingly in shock, walks down a dark, desolate street wearing a dress covered in blood, with police sirens wailing in the background. “Dear Diary,” her voiceover comes in, a few seconds into the walk, “Go f— yourself.”
And so begins Netflix’s seven-episode adaptation of “I Am Not Okay With This,” based on Charles Forsman’s 2017 graphic novel of the same name. If you don’t know anything about the story, such a visceral opening image likely bring thoughts of trauma and tragedy immediately to your mind; if you know other genre projects before this one, Brian De Palma’s 1976 feature film adaptation of Stephen King’s “Carrie” might also come to mind. Both of those things were intentional for series co-creators Jonathan Entwistle (“The End of the F***ing World...

This I Am Not Okay With This review contains no spoilers.
Somewhen between Carrie White, Kitty Pryde and Buffy Summers, adolescent girls and superpowers became a winning combination. All those hormones, all that loneliness and rage, all that feeling like a mutant and being terrified/thrilled by burgeoning sexuality… it’s a metaphor-a-palooza that hasn’t gone unexploited, especially not on screen.
The Craft, Ginger Snaps, Jennifer’s Body and countless others all make the wry point that high school is hell and best friends/parents/quarterbacks can be demons. They also make the more inspiring point that teenage girls - a group doubly disenfranchised by age and gender - have power. Inside them is the strength to fight back, protect others and rain down vengeance on the unworthy,...

Come all ye Catholic school rejects, New Age earth mothers, gender rebels and jilted ex-lovers: Alanis Morissette has room around the campfire for you.
“It’s like a family reunion,” she said Monday night, beaming onstage at the sold-out historic Apollo Theater in New York City. Accompanied by guitarists Jason Orm and Julian Coryell, Morissette performed her 1995 breakthrough album, Jagged Little Pill, in its entirety; in lieu of an actual campfire was a toasty reception by longtime fans, and some more recent converts.

Wrap-around sunglasses aren’t the only thing the next Matrix sequel has to rethink. A lot has changed since 2003.
I remember arguing about The Matrix in 1999, sitting with friends in a Borders bookstore cafe. When I was 17 years old, I was famously cranky about the ground-breaking trilogy, mostly for dumb reasons, but I was right about one thing: the soundtrack does not hold up.
Even as an angsty teen, I worried that tracks like Rage Against the Machine’s “Wake Up” and Rammstein’s infamous “Du hast” were just a little too on-the-nose. The soundtrack rocked hard, but in a way that seemed like overcompensation. The heavy-metal rage-rock music of the Og Matrix always felt like a macho guy revving the engine of a motorcycle because deep down he was really insecure. I’m not saying the music curation of The Matrix didn’t work, per se,...
