Sweet Tooth trailer: Netflix’s post-apocalyptic DC Comics series is huge - Polygon

With shows like Shadow and Bone and Mark Millar’s upcoming Jupiter’s Legacy, Netflix is ramping up to its blockbuster era in order to compete with IP-heavy services like Disney Plus and HBO Max. This summer promises another unique, fully realized story: an adaptation of Jeff Lemire’s Vertigo/DC Comics book, Sweet Tooth.

A verdant saga given a Southern-baked twist from writer-director Jim Mickle (We Are What We Are, TV’s Hap and Leonard), Sweet Tooth follows a deer-boy named Gus (Christian Convery), the titular Sweet Tooth, as he traverses a world torn apart by a viral outbreak and what’s become known as the “Great Crumble.” To survive hunters who see his hybrid kind as the enemy, and scavengers finding their own way to survive, Gus teams up with a wayward wanderer (Game of Thrones’ Nonso Anozie) who has the advantage of being an enormous muscle man with a crossbow. It helps!

“We wanted to make a show that offers escape and adventure, where nature is reclaiming the world and in many ways it feels like a fairytale,” Mickle said in a statement. “Sweet Tooth is a new kind of dystopian story, it’s very lush and hopeful. We want people to come into this world where there’s beauty and hope and adventure. This is a sweeping story — we ride on trains, climb mountaintops, run through forests. This is a show about what makes a family, what home really means, and why it’s important to keep faith in humanity.”

Produced by Robert Downey, Jr. and Susan Downey, the show costars Adeel Akhtar (Murdered by My Father), Aliza Vellani (Upload), Stefania LaVie Owen (Krampus), Dania Ramirez (Once Upon a Time), Neil Sandilands (The Flash), with Will Forte (MacGruber) and the legendary James Brolin as the show’s narrator.

Sweet Tooth premieres on Netflix on June 4. Check out a few first-look images below.

Elizabeth Hurley says it was a ‘nightmare’ working with Matthew Perry amid actor's addiction - Fox News

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
