“Never could we have imagined what the world experienced in 2020 and continues to experience today,” organizers wrote in a Tweet. “While we are buoyed by the rollout of the vaccine and the growing number of individuals being inoculated, it appears that July will still be too early to safely hold an in-person even of the magnitude of Comic-Con. For this reason, we have made the challenging decision to postpone Comic-Con 2021 as an in-person gathering until our 2022 dates, and once again hold this year’s celebration as the free online Comic-Con@Home....

“The Packet makes a writer’s vision resonate beyond any bland distillation, adding dimension to a process that’s tended to make both writers and decision makers suffer,” ScriptHop co-founder Scott Foster, a former UTA story department head, said in a statement shared with press. “It’s also a transposable source industry readers can transfer into their coverage, while maintaining the writer’s version of the logline and synopsis. It presents these distillations in a much more engaging form, and enables readers to focus on really reading the script and giving the writing its due when they evaluate it, rather than waste their own time abridging it....

Miller, who worked with mega-producer Weinstein on 2006’s Edie Sedgwick biopic “Factory Girl,” admitted that she was completely oblivious to Weinstein’s attacks on women at the time. The Miramax and Weinstein Company executive was convicted of rape in 2020 and sentenced to 23 years in prison. “I wasn’t scared of him, actually,” Miller told The Guardian. “And I was not aware that he was raping people.” While Weinstein’s infamous harshness was well-known (“You weren’t really inaugurated until Weinstein made you cry”), Miller added that she “genuinely felt he’d given [her] the biggest validation” by criticizing her behind the scenes....

Host: Willem Dafoe Host: Willem Dafoe If given the chance to guess where Willem Dafoe is originally from, it seems highly unlikely that most people would actually guess correctly and say “Appleton, Wisconsin.” (Which is also part of why the British/”Sir Willem Dafoe” joke in the “Nugenix” sketch works as well as it does.) As he noted in his monologue, he got his start as an actor in New York City....

Park was previously indicted in 2018, which was notable for being the first time the U.S. charged a Pyongyang operative. According to the DOJ indictment, the three allegedly worked for the Reconnaissance General Bureau, a wing of North Korean military intelligence. Prosecutors allege that the November 2014 cyberhack of Sony Pictures was ordered in retaliation for the Seth Rogen and James Franco comedy “The Interview,” which portrayed the assassination of Kim Jong Un....

Variety reported that Imperioli is teaming with Alec Berg (“Barry”) to develop a scripted series in which the actor will star. The publication described the project as a “meta blend of fact and fiction loosely based on Imperioli’s experiences as a practicing Buddhist.” A prospective release date and additional casting details were not provided. Though the project’s tone is unclear, Berg’s filmography (including “Barry” and “Silicon Valley”) suggests that the series could have a comedic bent....

While the sneak peek teaser confirms a 2022 release date, it does not let any plot details slip from the upcoming fourth season. Fans already know David Harbour’s Hopper will return as a prisoner in Russia after seemingly dying in the third season finale. A previous teaser for the new season also teased the return of Matthew Modine’s Dr. Martin Brenner, but he’s nowhere to be found in the new footage....
