Mothers Instinct. (2024) Movie Review.

For a film with so much relative star power in its two leads (Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain), it’s surprising in theory how quietly this thriller has been shoved out into the world with no warning or prior knowledge, the trailer suddenly appeared in front of UK theatrical screenings and played for about a month before the film’s release. Having seen the final film when it was released in UK…

Mother's Instinct (15): A Thrilling Psychological Rollercoaster.

#onemannsmovies #filmreview of "Mother's Instinct". #MothersInstinct. A twisty turny psychological thriller that Hitchcock would be proud of. 4/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Mother’s Instinct” (2024). What a treat to see a psychological thriller where you can be genuinely surprised by the twists and turns. “Mother’s Instinct” delivers just that, bolstered by excellent performances by two of the finest actresses working today.

Amazon MGM Studios is developing the YA novel “The Loneliest Girl in the Universe” as a feature film.

Variety released the news today:

Amazon MGM Studios is developing the YA novel “The Loneliest Girl in the Universe” as a feature film.

Joe Roth and Jeffrey Kirschenbaum (“Anyone but You,” “Fast X,” the upcoming “Jackpot”) will produce the film alongside Katherine Langford, best known for starring in Netflix’s hit YA series “13 Reasons Why”; Seldy Gray will oversee development for Roth Kirschenbaum Films.

The project is in early development at the studio with Sarah Conradt-Kroehler writing the script, from a treatment by Gary Dauberman.

The Loneliest Girl in the Universe was first published in 2017. It was nominated for the 2019 Carnegie medal, named one of Barnes & Noble’s Top 15 YA Books of 2018, and shortlisted for the STEAM Children’s Book Prize 2019.

Romy Silvers is the only surviving crew-member of a spaceship travelling to a new planet, on a mission to establish a second home for humanity. Alone in space, she is the loneliest girl in the universe until she hears about a new ship which has launched from Earth with a single passenger on board. A boy called J.

Their only communication is via email and due to the distance between them, their messages take months to transmit. And yet Romy finds herself falling in love.

But what does Romy really know about J? And what do the mysterious messages which have started arriving from Earth really mean?

Sometimes, there’s something worse than being alone…

I’ve been holding onto this secret for four long years, so I’m beyond thrilled to finally be able to share it.

The production company, Roth/Kirschenbaum, made Damsel (Milly Bobby Brown/Netflix), Anyone but You (Sydney Sweeney/Glen Powell), The School for Good and Evil (Paul Feig/Netflix), Fast X (Vin Diesel) and The Gray Man (Ryan Gosling), so Romy is in very, very good hands indeed.

A movie deal is, obviously, a dream come true. It’s not something I ever thought would happen to me. I feel lucky enough to get to keep writing new books, let alone for someone to make an adaptation of something that came out of my brain.

The Loneliest Girl in the Universe is a very special story to me. I wrote it when I was 22, fresh out of a physics degree. On the surface, it was inspired by some of the physics I’d learnt about deep space travel at university, but mainly it was propelled by the complicated feelings I had about technically being an ‘adult’ while really just feeling like a naiive kid. It was about internet dating, and fandom as a form of self expression, and my complicated relationship with girlhood (as someone who no longer really identifies as a ‘girl’).

Romy is one of the most precious character I’ve ever created. I poured so much of myself into her personality; her insecurities; her flaws and strengths. So many readers respond to her vulnerability (and mine) with deep love. People have told me that they would die for Romy. That she’s their favourite fictional character of all time. That she’s helped them process so much of their own anxiety, trauma and imposter syndrome. That she’s a role model for girls who are deciding to study science at university. As a writer, it’s the biggest honour to have created someone who feels so real and important to so many people.

I can’t wait for Romy to reach a whole new audience on screen through Amazon MGM Studios. The team at R/K have a very clear vision for Romy’s story, and so much respect for her journey as a character. I’m very excited to see what they create.

I have some experience of the TV industry in UK through my work in the Heartstopper writer’s room as story consultant, but movies and Hollywood are obviously a whole new ballgame. I’m excited and nervous to learn more!

For everyone who’s been with me and Romy since 2017, I hope the The Loneliest Girl in the Universe movie lives up to all your expectations, when it launches (which might be a while off!). Thank you for sticking with me.

And for new readers, you can read the book now. It’s published in the UK, Australia, USA, and in translation in Indonesia, Brazil, Poland and Turkey.

Introducing | NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Program Recipients and Finalists

NYFA has awarded $661,000 to 98 New York State artists working in the categories of Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design, Choreography, Music/Sound, Photography, and Playwriting/Screenwriting.

New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) has announced the recipients and finalists of the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Program, which it has administered for the past 33 years with leadership support from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA). The organization has awarded a total of $661,000 to 98 artists (including three collaborations) whose ages range from 25-76 years throughout New York State in the following disciplines: Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design, Choreography, Music/Sound, Photography, and Playwriting/Screenwriting. Fifteen finalists, who do not receive a cash award but benefit from a range of other NYFA services, were also announced. A complete list of the Fellows and Finalists follows. 

The NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Program makes unrestricted cash grants of $7,000 to artists working in 15 disciplines, awarding five per year on a triennial basis. The program is highly competitive, and this year’s recipients and finalists were selected by discipline-specific peer panels from an applicant pool of 2,542. Since it was launched in 1985, the program has awarded over $31 million to more than 5,000 artists. This year, thanks to the generous support of photography nonprofit Joy of Giving Something, NYFA was able to award an additional five Fellowships in Photography, which has the largest application pool of any Fellowship category.

“We are grateful to NYSCA for this annual opportunity to provide nearly 100 artists from New York State with unrestricted cash grants,” said Michael L. Royce, Executive Director, NYFA. “What’s most exciting is that the Fellowship impacts artists of all disciplines and career stages and that these artists are being recognized by a jury of their peers. Beyond the financial aspect, it empowers them to keep creating and exploring new possibilities in their work.”

New York State Council on the Arts Executive Director Mara Manus described how the program makes New York communities more vibrant: “The NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship recognizes that artists of all disciplines, backgrounds, ages, and career stages make vital contributions to New York’s creative culture. Over the past 33 years, the Artist Fellowship has been a launching pad and a critical source of support for artists whose work helps build healthy communities in all regions of the state.”

On receiving a NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship in Playwriting/Screenwriting, Brooklyn-based Nabil Viñas said: “It is a deeply moving honor to be recognized by NYSCA/NYFA. I took up screenwriting out of necessity, as it became clear that the voices and stories from my life would not appear in works by others. This fellowship tells me our stories matter, and that my voice is worth hearing.”

For Ben Altman, a Fellow in Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design from Danby, NY, the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship represents another facet of support from NYFA: “NYFA has informed my artistic practice throughout my 12 years in Upstate New York, providing professional development, fiscal sponsorship, grant application support, workshops, critique, and timely advice. To be awarded a NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship is as much a tribute to those inputs as it is an important and very welcome recognition of the work NYFA’s support has helped me to produce.”

To Veena Chandra, a Fellow in Music/Sound from Latham, NY, the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship empowers her to “continue to create, promote, and preserve” musical tradition. “I feel blessed to have been playing Indian sitar music for the last 63 years. I am so grateful to my father, who created an environment for me to learn this beautiful music and taught me from the very beginning of my life. To be recognized for my work in performing and preserving Indian Classical music means a lot to me, especially at this point in my career,” she noted.

The Bride remake gets a screenwriter in Sarah Conradt https://t.co/FcoQlXemEB

[nightmareonfilmstreet]

Here Comes THE BRIDE Remake Writer

A good idea is a good idea, no matter where it comes from. And while there are some significant political tensions with Russian right now, they’ve still got some good horror. To wit, here comes The Bride! Or rather, here comes The Bride remake. The original film by Queen of Spades: The Dark Rite director Svyatoslav Podgayevsky came out last year, and was a smash success in Russia. Lionsgate picked up the rights to a remake last fall, and are eager to get this into production, and now, we’ve got a writer for the remake.

According to THR, Sarah Conradt has been hired to pen the remake of The Bride. Conradt made the Black List in 2011 for her un-produced screenplay, Dead of Winter. She has since gone on to write the script for the MGM remake of the Finnish film Black Ice, and the thriller Enigma; both of those projects are in various stages of pre-production now. Two other writers, Chad Hayes and Carey Hayes who penned The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2, are signed on to The Bride as producers.

The Bride tells the story of a young couple who arrive at the family home to get married only for strange things to start happening. A century earlier, a ghastly ritual where a widower tried to resurrect his dead wife in the body of a young virgin was interrupted by a sinister presence, and the wife has returned to claim the body of the young bride. The original Bride grossed $3.1 million U.S. after its release last January. Vlad Severtsev, who was a producer on the original Russian film, will serve as co-producer on the remake

No director, cast, start date, or release date has yet been announced for The Bride, but given the Russian original’s notoriety, it’s likely that Lionsgate will want to put this remake in North American cinemas post haste. We’ll post any and all developments as they become available.

2017: A Year in Review

2017 was an interesting year for me. I moved to Chicago for an internship, traveled to England, read a lot, went to a children's literature conference, and finally made a definitive decision in what career path I want to choose. It was a year of a lot of ups and downs, but I'm finally sure of the path I have chosen for myself. By the end of this year, I definitely slacked on writing reviews for the books I finished, something I hope to get better at in the coming year. I'm trying bullet journaling, which I hope will help to keep me motivated to keep up the posts on here a little bit more regularly. Despite the fact that I didn't quite get to reviewing all the books, I'll make a list of everything I read last year, much like I did for 2016.

These aren't in any particular order, because it was hard enough to select a favorite. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas More Than This by Patrick Ness Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner Now is Everything by Amy Giles They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera Turtles All the Way Down by John Green Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay My Favorite Thing is Monsters by Emil Ferris The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater Scythe by Neal Shusterman One of my main reading goals this year is to read more outside of my comfort zone, so that means things outside of YA (which is basically all of this list). I'd really like to read more nonfiction, so I'm going to do my best! My goal for next year is 75 books, aiming a little higher even though I'll be starting school (hopefully) in the fall. I can't wait to see what reading adventures await for the coming year. I have a good feeling about it. via Blogger http://ift.tt/2CcaTGP
