Skims Co-Founder & CEO Jens Grede Joins UTA Board

Juliana Canfield, best known for her Tony-nominated work and her role in Succession, just scored a major career move—she’s snagged the female lead in Warner Bros.’ upcoming action-thriller F.A.S.T., starring opposite Brandon Sklenar. Details about her character are still hush-hush, but the film marks the directorial debut of cinematographer Ben Richardson (Wind River, Yellowstone), adding an extra layer of intrigue.

Editor’s Note: Canfield’s leap from prestige TV to a big-studio action flick signals her rising star power—and Warner Bros. is betting on her to anchor a fresh franchise. For fans of Succession or indie-to-blockbuster transitions, this is a juicy pivot worth watching. Plus, with a seasoned DP stepping into the director’s chair, F.A.S.T. could be a sleeper hit with both style and substance.

The long-awaited Minecraft Movie finally has a streaming release date—June 20 on Max. Starring Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, and others as a group of misfits, the film adapts the wildly popular sandbox game into what looks like a fun, chaotic adventure. No need to pause your block-building sessions just yet, but mark your calendar if you're curious how this pixelated world translates to the screen.

Editor’s Note: Minecraft has been a cultural phenomenon for over a decade, and this movie could either be a nostalgic win or a weird misfire. Either way, it’s a big deal for fans—especially since video game adaptations have been hit-or-miss (cough Super Mario Bros. vs. Sonic). If it lands, it might open the door for more unexpected game-to-screen projects. If not? Well, at least we still have the original game.

Paramount Animation is teaming up with Ryan Reynolds’ production company, Maximum Effort, to turn the quirky children’s book I Eat Poop: A Dung Beetle Story into an animated film. Josh Cooley, who directed Toy Story 4, is in talks to helm the project, and EGOT-winning songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (of La La Land and The Greatest Showman fame) are also on board. It’s shaping up to be a high-profile—if slightly bizarre—family flick.

Editor’s Note: On paper, this sounds like a joke—a movie about a dung beetle? But with Reynolds’ comedic chops, Cooley’s Pixar pedigree, and Pasek & Paul’s musical magic, it could be a surprisingly charming hit. It’s a reminder that Hollywood’s still willing to take weird, creative swings, especially when big names are attached. Plus, kids love gross-out humor, so this might just be a recipe for success.

Amanda Peet dishes on her latest role in Your Friends & Neighbors, where she plays Mel, the ex-wife of Jon Hamm's morally questionable character. She gushes about working with the "crush-worthy" Hamm, the refreshing feminist vibe on set, and the fun of trading barbs with Olivia Munn. Peet also shares insights on choosing projects, emphasizing the importance of knowing the creator—like Jonathan Tropper, whose work she admires.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another Hollywood interview—it’s a peek behind the curtain of a show that’s flipping tired tropes on their head. Peet’s enthusiasm for the project and her co-stars hints at a dynamic, progressive set, which could signal a shift in how female characters (and actors) are treated in the industry. Plus, who doesn’t love hearing about Jon Hamm being charming?

The article discusses how the TV series Dying for Sex breaks the mold by portraying a woman’s sexual awakening during her cancer battle with humor and authenticity—something rarely seen on screen. Unlike typical depictions where women’s desires are either trivialized or tied to trauma, this show treats the subject with warmth and relatability, making it both funny and deeply human.

Editor’s Note: Stories about women’s sexuality often fall into tired tropes—either played for cheap laughs or framed as a symptom of deeper pain. Dying for Sex flips the script, showing that desire can be joyful, even in the face of illness. It’s a refreshing take that challenges how we talk about women’s bodies and agency, making it more than just entertainment—it’s a small but meaningful shift in representation.
