Midnight Sun, a Twilight novel by Stephanie Meyer, is heading to the small screen at Netflix – in animated series form.
There was a time in the early 2010s when Twilight was just about the biggest film franchise around.
It comprises five films – 2008’s Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, 2009’s New Moon, directed by Chris Weitz, 2010’s Eclipse, directed by David Slade, and the two part finale Breaking Dawn, directed by Bill Condon and released in 2011 and 2012. Their success was such that two parody films were also released in quick succession, the much maligned Vampire’s Suck and Breaking Wind.
The films followed Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan as she becomes romantically involved with vampire Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson, and werewolf Jacob Black, played by Taylor Lautner. Which all leads to a battle with vampire coven The Volturi.
Adapted by future Jessica Jones creator Melissa Rosenberg, the large ensemble cast also included Billy Burke,...

Get the midnight margaritas ready.
Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are in talks to return for a sequel to the 1998 classic Practical Magic.
Akiva Goldsman, one of the writers behind the original, will pen the screenplay. Plot details are not yet known. Bullock and Kidman are expected to produce alongside Denise Di Novi, who produced the original.
Practical Magic starred Kidman and Bullock as two orphaned sisters who come from a long line of witches. Raised by their eccentric aunts in a prejudiced Massachusetts town, they had to contend with a curse that kept them from never finding love.
At the time of release, the movie received generally negative reviews and failed to make a mark at the box office, but it has achieved cult status among audiences. Since the film’s release, Kidman and Bullock have also become the two biggest stars in Hollywood with awards recognition and box office acclaim.

When filmmaker Catherine Hardwicke got the first draft of Twilight, she knew there was a problem. The script depicted Bella as a superstar athlete and ended with her in a chase with the FBI (on jet skis). “It had just gone out of control,” says Hardwicke. “I’m like, ‘No, no, no, that’s not what the book’s about. It’s about this incredible, impossible love and this yearning.”
Hardwicke wanted to ditch the script and get closer to the book by author Stephenie Meyer. Those instincts proved right. Fifteen years ago, on Nov. 21, 2008, Twilight became a surprise hit for low-key studio Summit Entertainment, grossing $408.4 million worldwide and instantly turning stars Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan) and Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen) into global stars. It would spawn four sequels, with a TV reboot on the way.

(Welcome to Tales from the Box Office, our column that examines box office miracles, disasters, and everything in between, as well as what we can learn from them.)
"I think 'Twilight' could be huge." Those were the words that were once said to be uttered by Paramount's former co-president of production Karen Rosenfelt, who helped turn the YA novel into a movie. While the movie ultimately wouldn't be made at Paramount, it turns out she was more right than anyone could have possibly predicted. In the end, Paramount's loss would turn into Summit Entertainment's ridiculous gain as the movie based on Stephenie Meyer's best-selling book would kick off not just a billion-dollar franchise, but an entire blockbuster YA craze.
It's easy to take for granted now, but the saga of Bella and Edward — which is now ingrained in popular culture — did not reek of success at the outset.

Filming on Daredevil revival Daredevil: Born Again has been on hold for the time being due to the Hollywood strikes, and there’s no word about a Jessica Jones reboot happening anytime soon, but the shows’ three stars, Vincent D’Onofrio, Charlie Cox and Krysten Ritter, reunited at GalaxyCon Austin over the weekend and posed for a very fun photo. They also appeared in a live Q&a and autograph signing. See the photo, posted by D’Onofro on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Written and executive produced by Matt Corman and Chris Ord, who cannot provide writing services on set due to the strike, the new installment, Daredevil: Born Again, centers on Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, otherwise known as Matt Murdock, an attorney by day and crimefighter by night. Vince D’Onofrio reprises his role as mob boss Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin.

Ah, The Twilight Saga. What a moment in time. From the release of the first installment in 2008 to the conclusion in 2012, it was an era in which online randos believed the epitome of comedy was responding to the announcement of a new piece of vampire media with, "So long as the vampires don't sparkle, I'm in!" All the while, the movie adaptations of Stephenie Meyer's uber-popular supernatural teen romance novels continued to rake in enough money to fill several dump trucks with each passing year, no matter how much their detractors roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws.

The brevity of TikTok may be enticing to Gen Z, which finds new talent to follow for quick, colorful comedy or short dance segments — but Fugitive is betting big on celebrity-driven longer-form talkers.

Netflix debuted the final season of “Jessica Jones” on June 14 and with it said goodbye to its long-running Marvel franchises. The streaming giant pulled the plug on every Netflix-Marvel series over the last several months, including “Daredevil,” “The Punisher,” “Iron Fist,” and “Luke Cage.” Many fans have been wondering if these shows or characters might live on, perhaps on Disney’s upcoming streaming platform Disney+, but “Jessica Jones” star Krysten Ritter says that probably won’t be the case for her superhero.
“Do I think I’ll play her again? I don’t think so,” Ritter told TVLine. “I feel like I’ve played her, you know? I feel really good about it. I feel good about closing the door.”
“Jessica Jones” showrunner Melissa Rosenberg expressed a similar thought, telling TVLine, “I feel like this is a really complete, closed chapter. I mean, never say never. But I feel ready to tell all new stories.

The moment Netflix cancelled Marvel’s Jessica Jones, its fans asked the obvious question: Could the show eventually be revived elsewhere?
But now that the Marvel drama’s third and final season has dropped, star Krysten Ritter said she feels ready to put the cynical private investigator behind her.
“Do I think I’ll play her again? I don’t think so,” Ritter admits to TVLine. “I feel like I’ve played her, you know? I feel really good about it. I feel good about closing the door.”
Netflix began to ax its Marvel series in October 2018, beginning with the critically panned Iron Fist.

[Editor’s note: The following post contains spoilers about “Avengers: Endgame.”]
Robert Downey Jr. is no longer an active force in the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Tony Stark’s death in “Avengers: Endgame,” but that doesn’t mean he’s out of ideas when it comes to where the McU should go next. Marvel comics writer Eve L. Ewing shared on social media that Downey Jr. advocated for her superhero, Ironheart, to join the McU while he was accepting a prize at the Gene Siskel Film Center’s Renaissance gala in Chicago. McU fans have unsurprisingly taken to the idea of the young Ironheart character becoming an Avenger with excitement.
“The real story here is that Robert Downey Jr. said publicly in a room full of people that Ironheart should be in the McU, wrote Ewing, who created the Ironheart superhero in 2015 with fellow writers Brian Michael Bendis
and Mike Deodato. “I went straight back to the press area...

For the final season of Marvel's Jessica Jones, showrunner Melissa Rosenberg found herself and her fellow writers revisiting a key part of her career: several seasons on Showtime's serial killer drama Dexter.
"Our show is very noir; we've always approached it that way. So this was a really good opportunity to do that," Rosenberg told The Hollywood Reporter. "Plus my fellow showrunner was Scott Reynolds [who also worked on Dexter], and so we really had a lot of that background in our approach to stuff."

The following post contains spoilers for the final season of Marvel’s Jessica Jones, up to and including Episode 7.
Marvel’s Jessica Jones has never been one to back down from a fight. But in the drama’s third and final season, there was one confrontation Jessica should have walked away from, according to the woman who portrays her.
In Episode 7, titled “A.K.A The Double Half-Wappinger,” Jessica and estranged sister Trish Walker take a road trip to Wappinger Falls, the small town where this season’s Big Bad — serial killer Gregory Salinger — was raised. Having reached a dead end in Hell’s Kitchen,...

Mild Spoiler Alert: This story contains details of the third and final season of Marvel’s Jessica Jones, which launched on Netflix today.
“I have to tell you, I feel incredibly proud of what was done,” states Marvel’s Jessica Jones executive producer Melissa Rosenberg firmly of the third and final season that launched on Netflix today. “It was a complete story and arc for our character. So that it ended was really right I think. It was serendipitous in a way.”
No deep spoilers if you are still planning a weekend binge (though I do suggest you check out my review here), but the 13-episodes of the Krysten Ritter starring series have the rather fortune of a true goodbye on-screen and for the title character and others portrayed by Rachael Taylor, Eka Darville and Carrie-Anne Moss as well.

(Warning: The following story contains spoilers about the entirety of “Jessica Jones” season 3)
“Jessica Jones,” which debuted its third and final season on Netflix Friday, gets to do something that no other Marvel/Netflix series got to: Actually craft an ending.
“We didn’t get canceled in the middle of the night as a shock,” star Krysten Ritter told TheWrap. “This show is deeply personal and has been a psychological character study of Jessica Jones. We’ve spent a lot of time with her and I think that this length of storytelling is perfect and fitting.”
By now, it’s known that Netflix pulled the plug on the four-year partnership with Marvel that began with 2015’s “Daredevil” (more on that here), but Ritter said that they were lucky enough to know that their show wasn’t going to continue past its third season. Even before the show began production, it...

The protagonist of “Jessica Jones” may have enhanced strength and a limited ability to fly, but superpowers have never been the most compelling part of the celebrated Netflix series. The show, which follows former superhero Jessica Jones’ (Krysten Ritter) efforts to run a detective agency and deal with her past demons, received critical acclaim in its first season for fearlessly addressing heavy topics in a genre that’s become decidedly family-friendly in recent years.
While comics, including “Jessica Jones,” often embrace mature themes, most comic-based films and television shows in the last decade have stayed firmly within PG-13 territory. “Jessica Jones,” like Marvel’s other Netflix shows, bucked that trend several years before R-rated superhero flicks such as “Deadpool” and “Logan” hit theaters.

For the bulk of the series in the Netflix/Marvel partnership, the eventual cancellation came as a surprise. None of the actors or behind-the-scenes people really had any clue that the last season would, indeed, be the final one. This has left “Daredevil,” “Luke Cage,” “Iron Fist,” and “The Punisher” with the feeling of being incomplete. However, for “Jessica Jones,” the series creator Melissa Rosenberg was given a bit of time before the release of Season 3 to somehow craft a finale that felt right.

Marvel’s Jessica Jones might be saying goodbye to Netflix, but she’s got time for one last existential crisis before she goes.
The drama’s 13-episode final season drops on Friday, and according to star Krysten Ritter, the new installments will find Jessica struggling to see herself as a real hero.
“She’s always been reluctant. ‘Leave me out of it, leave me with my whiskey, I don’t want anything to do with this,'” Ritter reminds us. “And then at the end of Season 2, we left her with her mother’s voice in her head [saying] she’s a hero,...

New “Black Mirror” episodes are always a major cultural event, doubly so when they feature stars like Miley Cyrus. Her supporting turn in Season 5 episode “Rachel, Jack, and Ashley Too” seemed destined to go viral, and Netflix isn’t taking any chances. The streaming service has released a music video from Ashley O, Cyrus’ pink-haired pop star who uploads her consciousness to a toy doll.
The song, “On a Roll,” turns Nine Inch Nails’ “Head Like a Hole” into a saccharine pop ditty that serves as an earworm throughout much of the story. Episode viewers may be bombarded with bits and pieces of the video, but this is the first chance to hear the song in its entirety. Netflix’s “press release” reads:

Scrappy, bitter survival has always been at the heart of “Jessica Jones,” arguably Marvel’s most layered and adult McU show on Netflix.

Now that all the Defenders have ventured off to cancellation pastures, Jessica Jones is looking to end her Marvel series on her own terms.
Krysten Ritter is back as the title heroine of “Marvel’s Jessica Jones,” a crimefighting force who’s had plenty of problems of her own over the run of the series.

Netflix has released the full trailer for Jessica Jones Season 3, and it looks like this final season will be the best of the series! I’ve enjoyed the first two seasons of this show, especially Krysten Ritter’s performance, and this last chapter looks like it’s going to be a super intense one.
When talking about the series, creator and showrunner Melissa Rosenberg tells EW that Jones is trying to embrace the hero within her, but as you’ll see in the trailer, it’s not going to be easy:
“She’s trying to look forward and build a future for herself and really finally put these hero powers and objective to the test. She’s actually really stepped into the position that her mother had hoped for her. Her mother believed that she had a hero in her, and defined heroes as ‘somebody who gives a shit and does something about it.

It’s a scary, uncertain time to be a fan of Marvel’s Netflix shows. I mean, it’s almost as if Thanos has become a Netflix executive, as the past few weeks have seen The Defenders–related series halved with both Iron Fist and Luke Cage being cut from the platform. Seeing as we’ve just had the release of Daredevil season 3 not too long ago, fans are now worried about what the future holds for the most popular of the four shows, even despite the great reviews that Matt Murdock’s latest outing as been met with.
Unfortunately, there’s no word from the streaming giant just yet on what fate awaits the Man Without Fear, but at the very least, we can assure you that both Jessica Jones and The Punisher are safe for the moment, with neither show in danger of being cut. How do we know that?...

Not long ago, those who follow the Netflix/Marvel universe were prone to complain about the associated bloat that came with six series launching within months of each other. But with the cancelation of “Iron Fist” swiftly followed by “Luke Cage,” that universe appears to be on the verge of implosion.
Taking place in the shadows of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in 2015 Netflix launched its interconnected series that also include “The Defenders,” “Daredevil,” “Jessica Jones,” and “The Punisher.” They represented a big step forward for television about superheroes, grounding what might have been fantastical narratives in real world grit and dirt. “Daredevil” took on a corrupt local government in between ninja fights. “Jessica Jones” wasn’t just a hard-boiled detective story, but a thoughtful examination of trauma and survival. And “Luke Cage” swung hard at race issues, making its lead character’s hoodie an iconic statement.

It’s been a whirlwind week for the Powers That Be over at Marvel and Netflix.
Not only have the creative duo launched Daredevil season 3 to critical acclaim, but they’ve also brought the hammer down on Iron Fist and, more recently, Luke Cage, confirming that Power Man won’t be returning for a third season as initially expected. And so, in the blink of an eye, Marvel’s Heroes for Hire lost their footing on the streaming platform, and we’re now learning that Disney is unlikely to continue the adventures of Cage on its soon-to-be-released digital service (read: Disney Play).
Be that as it may, one person who is particularly disheartened by Luke Cage‘s shock cancellation is Danny Rand himself, Finn Jones, who shared a poignant photo of Marvel’s Heroes for Hire over on Instagram in the wake of Netflix’s announcement.

David Tennant blew fans away when he played the mind-controlling Kilgrave in Jessica Jones‘ debut season back in 2015, easily earning a place among the very top tier of villains in the McU. And even though the competition has gotten a little stiffer in the years since, the so-called Purple Man is still extremely high up on the list.
He proved so popular, in fact, that the writers couldn’t resist bringing him back for a cameo in this year’s second season, with the titular superhero private eye hallucinating her former tormentor in episode 11. As the real Kilgrave died at Jessica’s own hands in the season 1 finale, it seemed that this appearance offered a final farewell for the character and Tennant’s terrific performance. But the actor isn’t ruling out a further return in season 3 just yet.

“Black-ish” creator Kenya Barris was prepared to mount a PR blitz of protest after “Roseanne” star Roseanne Barr sent out a racist tweet last month. He was as surprised as he was determined to speak out against Barr’s comment when network executives told him the plan to cancel TV’s highest-rated program in response to Barr’s indefensible comment likening former Obama administration adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape.
Barris gave a glimpse of the outrage that rained down on ABC leaders in the wake of Barr’s tweet from members of the creative community. Barris was one of five showrunners who spoke Wednesday about the importance of having diversity in TV writers’ rooms, a panel that was part of Variety‘s Path to Parity summit focusing on women in the entertainment industry.
“I was literally coming out of the show and I was like f— this. I was going to go crazy.

“From the very beginning when we started this journey, Jessica has always been a character who has been very of its time,” Marvel’s Head of TV, Jeph Loeb, told Variety on Saturday.
Loeb appeared at Netflix’s Fysee panel event, moderated by Variety’s own executive editor of TV, Debra Birnbaum, in honor of the second season of Marvel’s “Jessica Jones.” Rachael Taylor, who plays Jessica’s best friend-cum-sister Trish Walker, praised how the series “always puts character first while diving into all these different social issues. It’s so unexpected for a genre show but such a joy for us to play.”
As “Jessica Jones” tackled female agency, consent, sexual assault, harassment, and Ptsd in its first season alone, particularly through the lens of Jessica’s abuse at the hands of David Tennant’s villainous Kilgrave, showrunner and creator Melissa Rosenberg explained the surreal feeling that hit...

What’s old is new again, and that includes the practice of gender-flipping a role. Commonly seen in folk tales and comic book properties, the practice has been a staple on the big screen and gaining popularity on TV, especially when it comes to reimagining male characters as female.
Swapping a character’s gender often occurs in the process of remaking or reimagining a pre-existing story. The most recent example on TV is the casting of Parker Posey to portray the villainous Dr. Smith on Netflix’s reboot of “Lost in Space.” The role was originated by Jonathan Harris in the ‘60s-era Irwin Allen series.
But gender-flipping can also occur in the process of creating a new character. In the case of lawyer Jeri Hogarth on “Marvel’s Jessica Jones,” the production started by crafting a female character and then retrofitting her with an identity from Marvel. That’s how Jeryn Hogarth,...

Marvel’s superhero drama has been renewed for a third season at Netflix, the streaming giant said Thursday.
Season 2 dropped last month, three years after the show’s initial run in 2015. In Season 2, fans were given a little more of Jessica and Trish’s backstory as they take on a case close to Jessica (no spoilers, promise).

Season 2 featured all female directors, something Ritter told TheWrap is “something to celebrate.”
“Obviously created by a woman, stars women, this season it felt just so on-brand and exciting moment to celebrate these female filmmakers,” she said ahead of the Season 2 premiere. “They didn’t go into it with this intention it happened organically and that to me is really exciting.”
Krysten Ritter stars as the titular superhero, along with Rachael Taylor as Trish Walker, Carrie-Anne Moss as Jeri Hogarth and Eka Darville as Malcolm Ducasse. Showrunner Melissa Rosenberg executive produces, as does Marvel’s Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory. “Jessica Jones” is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios for Netflix.

If you're a fan of Marvel's Jessica Jones series, you'll be happy to hear that Netflix has renewed it for Season 3! I personally love what Marvel and the creative team have done with this Jessica Jones series. The first season was so good, and even though some people didn't care for Season 2, I thought it was fantastic! I thought it told a great and powerful story with incredible character development.
There's no word on what the plot of Season 3 will be, but Kristen Ritter will reprise her role as the hard-drinking, super-powered New York City private investigator. With a person that has had such a hard life, I imagine that Jessica Jones will still be trying to keep herself together, especially after what she went through in Season 2! I also just have to say that Kristien Ritter has given such an incredible performance in this series!

"Marvel’s Jessica Jones” Season 2 did a lot of work in building up the backstory for Jessica and her associates, but no element of that was as much of an earworm as “I Want Your Cray-Cray,” the big pop hit released by Jessica Jones’ best friend Trish Walker (Rachael Taylor), years before Jessica Jones began to be anything resembling a hero.
“It’s the most obnoxious song, but it’s hilarious,” creator Melissa Rosenberg told IndieWire recently, and it’s worth admiring how, in the video below, there really is only one lyric.
“I loved shooting that music video,” Rosenberg said. “It was the worst song ever. The point of it was a play on these Disney stars that have their moments as pop stars and their songs are like ‘I throw my hair,’ like one line. One lyric.”
