Here's a hot take on a Tuesday night: I just watched OTHER MOMMY... and I liked it. Some really cool visuals and a genuinely emotional climax. The "other" thought I had while watching? Rob Savage is now 3-for-4 in my book. He'd be a decent choice to direct the ELM STREET remake.

I loved Ti West’s Ebenezer. We all know this story, but what I loved the most about West’s take is that he treats it like a true ghost story. So many great actors have played Scrooge over the years, from Patrick Stewart to Michael Caine, and Johnny Depp proves once again why he’s one of the greatest actors of all time. Depp brings his own style to the beloved character and makes his Scrooge feel like his own. It’s another iconic performance from the gifted actor, and one that I think audiences will love for years to come. In terms of the crafts, they are spectacular across the board. The cinematography, costumes, production design, visual effects and hair & makeup help build and shape this world that West and Depp live in. #Ebenezer

It's been about two weeks since my last update, and I've been struggling with the outline of my new movie after @remainmovie. I've been filling this notebook with ideas and doing research calls, but I've been feeling lost. I almost gave up on the outline altogether but this morning I committed to outlining through the end of the year, then starting the screenplay after Christmas.

well, that's nice company to be in.
EXCLUSIVE: Zoe Kazan‘s adaptation of John Steinbeck’s classic American novel 'East of Eden' is slowly but surely staking its claim on Netflix. The series has now amassed 4.4x its debut-week views, Deadline can reveal exclusively, growing from 6.5 million views in Week 1 to a cumulative 28.9 million views in Week 4. Per Netflix, only Adolescence has a higher 4-week multiple (4.7x) among the 11 limited series since 2025 that charted in the English-language Top 10 all four weeks.

Han pasado 50 años. Nuevas adaptaciones al cine, televisión y secuelas. La película de 1976 dirigida por Brian De Palma sigue siendo INSUPERABLE. Stephen King recibió apenas 2.500 dólares por los derechos de adaptación de su novela, aunque años después reconoció que no se arrepintió, porque la película catapultó su carrera. Como era un autor desconocido en aquella época, su nombre apareció mal escrito en el primer tráiler de la película... ¡Ponía Steven en lugar de Stephen!

I’m enjoying Sylvester Stallone’s memoir THE STEPS. He and I have talked often. The book sounds exactly as if he were speaking to the reader. He’s smart and funny.

"They should have gone to Vegas" October 2026 is the 10 year anniversary of The Ritual film shoot. This month, one decade ago, I had my set visit in the Carpathians, Transylvania, Romania. A time of magical transformation. Halloween is when I re-watch the film & reminisce.
