Showrunner Ryan Condal has dismissed such criticisms, explaining that he is more than confident in his ability to make the right decisions for the franchise. “I am still going to make choices that not all of you are going to like,” Condal recently said. “But, on the whole, I am really looking after the sanctity and wellbeing of George’s work.” George R.R. Martin agrees with Condal, and the “Fire and Blood” author is even willing to take things a step further....

“Most of the effects were what we call our ‘body and fender’ work, where [David] shot something and it’s not quite right and it needed to be replaced,” said visual effects producer Peter Mavromates. “For example, during the Louis B. Mayer birthday party at San Simeon, he didn’t want to deal with real fire in the fireplace, so those are all added [in CG] afterwards. He’s all about efficiency on set....

Stern announced on his SiriusXM radio show that if former president Donald Trump runs again in 2024, he will “beat his ass” at the polls. “I said to [co-host] Robin [Quivers], and I hate to say this, but I said to her, ‘I’m actually gonna probably have to run for president now,’” Stern said (via Mediaite) after Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v.

Christopher Booker offers “The Seven Basic Plots.” And Leo Tolstoy has often been quoted as saying all great literature fits into two stories: A man goes on a journey, or a stranger comes to town. (The source actually appears to be John Gardner.) All of which points to a short answer for your question: Your original ideas might not be so original, and therefore are subject to much less legal protection than you might think....

Iger has long been a fan of the service; he’s the guy that bought Fox’s one-third (and thus, controlling interest) as part of the studio’s mega-acquisition in early 2019, about a year before Bob Chapek succeeded Iger. One former Hulu insider told IndieWire that during his final months as CEO, Iger indicated the streaming service (a key part of the Disney Bundle alongside Disney+ and ESPN+) had his full support as a standalone entity....

First introduced in a 2013 comic by Sana Amanat, “Ms. Marvel” is the story of Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), a nerdy New Jersey teen obsessed with Captain Marvel who ends up gaining her own superpowers and moniker. The Disney+ adaptation comes from creator and head writer Bisha K. Ali (executive story editor on “Loki“), with executive producers Adil and Bilall. Despite the young protagonist, “Ms. Marvel” is as universal as “Spider-Man” or “Hawkeye” or any Disney+ series before it....

Carrey and Rudolph will appear in-character together on “Saturday Night Live” on October 3. Chris Rock is scheduled to host the episode, which will kick off the long-running NBC show’s Season 46 and will feature musical gust Megan Thee Stallion. Rudolph previously portrayed Harris on “Saturday Night Live” and told IndieWire in August that the California senator’s selection as Biden’s running mate made her hopeful and energized her to follow the presidential election....
