so who are these ocs? What’s going on with them? They seem pretty cool

Awe thank you!!!

These characters are for a project me and a friend has been discussing. It's still unnamed, definitely a work in progress and everything's subject to change (and has previously)! I'm hoping to make it into a podcast at some point or another media if I can't pull it off as a podcast.

The watered-down premise has to do with aspects of dreams, how they influence people and our perception. All wrapped up in a Sleep Study that is more then it appears to be.

I don't want to give too much away. But I can introduce you to the main cast;

From left to right we have Griffin, Furkan(Khan), Bo, Ophelia and Tou.

Each of them signs up for the study for different reasons and hoping to find a solution to their problems, but also because the study pays well!

Also cause I can I'm gonna give a fun fact about each of them!

Griffin spends more time perfecting his look than either of his sisters combined and is always late because of it.

Khan while looking like a snarky asshole is actually very kind and willing to help others, but he is still a bit of an asshole and is liable to complain.

Bo has a bit of a strained relationship with their family and spends alot of their time helping out at a community garden. Though won't admit to it unless they are comfortable with you.

Ophelia was terrified of the Disney film Alice in Wonderland as a child, and though she denies it, the film still makes her uneasy as an adult.

Tou may be the most put together now but she had quite a rocky period a few years back, but is now in a healthier state and happily married to her former neighbor Shirley with her son Marc.

I hope you enjoyed this lil sneak peak!

[elioli-art]

hi elena and olivia! i love your work on the tinker bell project, as a huge tb fan i'm curious about a few details about it, so if you can share i would greatly appreciate it. i understand if you have to keep things under wraps though :) here are some questions I have for you, its okay if you can't answer them, hope this isn't rude or anything

It says it was unnamed, I saw this promo image of something supposedly at D23 expo called "Tinker Bell and the Unknown Season" is that a name you know? It's unknown if that name is an April Fools prank from what I looked into. But, I think the name aligns with the theming of the work, which is very pretty.

Was it a Christmas themed thing? Was it a holiday themed special or a movie? Was it a fairy-fied Christmas? Was there a theme of naughty and nice? Was there an overall concept other than "holiday"? (assuming that is the main concept)

What inspired you in the character designs? As character designers, what were you tasked with?

You were 18 right when first working on this movie, right? Could you share more on that experience for you, and what it was like? Did you feel imposter syndrome?

Did the Tinker Bell project help you in your future art career? Did it alienate you?

Was there anyone influential in the industry who mentored you? If you could share who else you worked with, it would be interesting. (like the director/producer etc, or the people you worked with more directly)

How was it like working at DTS?

Your current projects are The Moon and Me and your MTR fanart. Do you think the Tinker Bell project had an impact on even starting on some of your other creative endeavors? Did it make you more creatively ambitious, or did it have a different effect on you?

Was the project, stylistically, unique from Tinker Bell projects? (Animation, art direction etc)

Do you know how far the movie made it? I assume it only was pre-production.

Did you take inspiration from other TB/Disney projects, such as a art piece from another film?

Was this a cancelled concept before the Neverbeast movie was in the works, or were other TB movies in the production pipeline?

Did working within the "movie pipeline" help your careers, if so how? (again so sorry if this is way too much questions, I'm just curious)

Hey there.

Forgive us for the very short response, we mean nothing by it. Tinkerbell was just a project we worked on and nothing really more. It helped us get a leg up in our resume, and that's it. :) It was fun though!

[tsukikoayanosuke]

When you wake up one day and had the silly idea to give names for every virtual singer in Project Sekai (except the original and Aku no Taizai Series)

First Name Theme:

Leo/need: Constellation

MORE MORE JUMP!: Flowers

Vivid BAD SQUAD: Seasonal-themed names

Wonderlands x Showtime: Disney protagonists

25-ji, Nightcord de.: Member's center conflict or special skill

Surname Theme: Japanese writers, specifically from Bungou to Alchemist

And now with name meaning rambles:

Leo/Need

Miku: Virgo Ogawa

Virgo is the Western equivalent of the Babylonian "The Furrow" (ASBIN) and representing the goddess Shala and her ear of grain. One star in this constellation, Spica, retains this tradition as it is Latin for "ear of grain", one of the major products of the Mesopotamian furrow. For this reason the constellation became associated with fertility. Leo/need Miku's first event card is during "Singing Among the Cherry Blossoms" which mostly centers around Ichika in her attempt in being more confident. Starting that moment, Ichika flourish into the singer we know.

Ogawa is taken from Ogawa Bimei (小川未明), the writer of Red Candles and the Mermaid (赤い蝋燭と人魚), The Moonlight and the Glasses (月夜と眼鏡), Wild Rose (野薔薇), and A Telegraph Pole and A Weird Man (電信柱と妙な男).

Rin: Arye Miyazawa

Arye is another name for the Leo constellation, called by the Jews. The constellation Leo is the Western equivalent of the constellation was called the "Great Lion" (UR.GU.LA) in Babylonian astronomy. The bright star of the constellation, Regulus, is also knows as "the star that stands at the Lion's breast." and had distinctly regal associations, as it was known as the King Star. Leo/need Rin's first appearance is during "Unnamed Harmony" which centers around Saki's struggles in making song. However, as Shiho had said, Saki had been helping everyone by being herself and be the first one to figure out the feelings they want to say. Thus, making Saki the central "star" of the ban, similar to Regulus's status as "the star that stands at the Lion's breast."

Miyazawa is taken from Miyazawa Kenji (宮沢賢治), the writer of Be Not Defeated by the Rain (雨ニモマケズ), Night on the Galactic Railroad (銀河鉄道の夜), The Restaurant of Many Orders (注文の多い料理店) and The Wind Child Matasaburou (風の又三郎).

In Babylonian star catalogues, "The Overseer" or "The God Pabilsaĝ" (PA.BIL.SAG) has a Western quivalent; Sagittarius. Pabilsaĝ was a Mesopotamian god. Not much is known about his role in Mesopotamian religion, though it is known that he could be regarded as a bow-armed warrior deity, as a divine cadastral officer or a judge. He might have also been linked to healing, though this remains disputed. Leo/need Len's first appearance is during "Putting Feelings into Words" where Honami takes the role of "overseer", the first one who noticed Shiho doing things behind their back and overall being the one in charge in taking care to her bandmates.

In Inanna's Descent into the Underworld, Inanna perceives that Dumuzid, her first and primary consort, has failed to properly mourn her death and, when she returns from the Underworld, allows the galla demons to drag him down to the Underworld as her replacement. Inanna later regrets this decision and decrees that Dumuzid will spend half the year in the Underworld, but the other half of the year with her, while his sister Geshtinanna stays in the Underworld in his place, thus resulting in the cycle of the seasons. Leo/need Luka's first event card is during "Stella After the Rain" that centers around Saki wanting to do more for the band, especially after being sick for a long time. The change of the season in Inanna Underworld myth can represent her unstable health.

In Old Babylonian astronomy, Ea was the ruler of the southernmost quarter of the Sun's path, the "Way of Ea", corresponding to the period of 45 days on either side of winter solstice. Aquarius was also associated with the destructive floods that the Babylonians regularly experienced, and thus was negatively connoted.

Mushanokouji is taken from Mushanokouji Saneatsu (武者小路実篤), the writer of Good-Natured Person (お目出たき人) and Friendship (友情).

Kaito: Eliseo Satou

Eliseo has the meaning "God is my salvation", which is in line with Elizabeth that means "My God is an oath" or "My God is abundance". Elizabeth itself can be derived into Elsa, which is a name of the deuteragonist from Frozen (2013). When she was little, Elsa was still quite playful and used her magic to have fun and goof off. However, after accidentaly hurt her sister, she became terrified of losing control and chose isolation for other's protection. WxS Kaito's first event appearance is during "It's On! Wonder Halloween!" where Rui's robot accidentaly hurt Tsukasa, thus he hold back with his more daring idea, similar to Elsa. It was only after Tsukasa reasured Rui that Rui can return as his confident self, in a similar way how Anna tells Elsa that she loves her that Elsa can return summer.

Satou is taken from Satou Haruo (佐藤春夫), the writer of Melancholy in the Country (田園の憂鬱) and The House of a Spanish Dog (西班牙犬の家).

25-ji, Nightcord de.

Miku: Calypso Shimazaki

Calypso is a name of Greek origin meaning "she who hides". Niigo Miku's first event appearance is during "Imprisoned Marionette", a Mafuyu focus event. The meaning of "shw who hides" can means of Mafuyu hiding her emptiness from her mother and the public behind her smile. However, she no longer hides when she was with Niigo. In addition, this can also means she no longer "hide" under her mother's shadow, slowly realizing her trueself even when her mother always trying to keep her hidden.

Shimazaki is taken from Shimazaki Touson (島崎藤村), the writer of The Broken Commandment (破戒), A New Life (新生), and Before the Dawn (夜明け前).

Rin: Aurora Izumi

Aurora is girl's name of Latin origin meaning "dawn". Aurora is the name of the Roman goddess of sunrise whose tears turned into the morning dew. She was said to renew herself by traveling from East to West across the sky, announcing the arrival of the sun each dawn. Aurora is also associated with the scientific term for the Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis. Auroras occur when charged particles (electrons and protons) collide with gases in Earth's upper atmosphere. Those collisions produce tiny flashes that fill the sky with colourful light. As billions of flashes occur in sequence, the auroras appear to move or " dance " in the sky. Niigo Rin's first appearance is during "Insatiable Pale Color", an Ena focus event. Aurora or the Nothern Lights is known for its beautiful colors which is in-line with Ena and her painting. Similar to the creation of Aurora, there are may collision in Ena's journey with her painting talent, many ups and down, but with her brush dancing on her colorful canvas, one day she will create something that she can finally call "beautiful".

Izumi is taken from Izumi Kyouka (泉鏡花), the writer of The Holy Man of Mount Kouya (高野聖) and A Woman's Pedigree (婦系図).

Meiko: Penelope Hagiwara

Penelope is a feminine name of Greek origin. It translates from its original tongue to "weaver" and can be traced as far back as the Ancient Greeks as depicted in Homer's Odyssey. Niigo Meiko's first appearance is during "Secret Distance", a Mizuki focus event. Mizuki is known to be the one with the cute appearance, especially in fashion, hence the "weaving" meaning. However, this can also reflected in their journey of weaving their identity and new relationship with the rest of the cast, starting with Niigo and Rui, and expanding to many.

Hagiwara is taken from Hagiwara Sakutarou (萩原朔太郎), the writer of Howling at the Moon (月に吠える), Blue Cat (青猫), and Icy Island (氷島).

Luka: Aria Niimi

Aria is an Italian name that means "song or melody" while also translating to the word "air," for a light and breezy. In opera, arias mostly appear during a pause in dramatic action when a character is reflecting on their emotions. Niigo Luka's first appearance is during "Carnation Recollection", a Kanade focus event. Kanade is the composer of the group, thus has created many of their song. Especially in this event, when Kanade is struggling to make a song for Mafuyu, she reached for for her feeling from back then. So, you can say that this song is Kanade's aria.

Niimi is taken from Niimi Nankichi (新美南吉), the writer of Gon the Little Fox (ごん狐) and Buying Mittens (手袋を買いに).

Len: Diggory Kume

Diggory is a French name that means "lost one". Niigo Len's first appearance is during "Guiding a Lost Child to What Lies Beyond", a Mafuyu focus event. We can take this for Mafuyu, feeling lost and conflicted because of her mother. This can also reference to the feeling she lost before but slowly return by being with Niigo.

Kume is taken from Kume Masao (久米正雄), the writer of Notes of a Student Examinee (受験生の手記), Shipwreck (破船), and Father's Death (父の死).

Kaito: Brio Ishikawa

Brio is an Italian name translated directly to "vivacity, zest." In music, the term is used to describe a piece with brilliance and energy; often Mozart's pieces contain "brio." Niigo Kaito's first appearance is during "Immiscible Discord", a Kanade focus event. While the event doesn't have an explicit "brilliance and energy" is does turn a new page in Mafuyu emotion, some more fiesty in Kaito. This can also refer to Kanade's interaction with Mother Asahina, how she stood up for Mafuyu's sake, a spark of protective energy because Kanade cares for Mafuyu's well-being.

Ishikawa is taken from Ishikawa Takuboku (石川啄木), the writer of A Handful of Sand (一握の砂) and Sad Toys (悲しき玩具).

House of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski Review

“This is not for you”

Okay.

Okay.

If you haven’t read it, House of Leaves is a post-modern book written by Mark Z. Danielewski in 2000 written in epistolary form. It’s a story within a story within a story within a story. What do I mean by that? Well at the heart of House of Leaves is The Navidson Record, a proposed documentary about a photographer, Will Navidson, who buys a house to reconnect with his family; his partner Karen Green and their children, Chad and Daisy.

Not missing any opportunity to work, Navidson sets up cameras around the house to capture little moments of their daily lives. Then one day, they notice that the inside of the house is a little bigger than the outside. Then a little bigger. And bigger. Then one day a doorway that wasn’t there before appears in the living room of the house. Opening the doorway they find a hallway. The bulk of The Navidson Record is the exploration of that hallway.

So I say bulk of The Navidson Record, isn’t this the book? Well, yes and no. Because taking a step back, we have Zampano. Zampano is a blind uh, I guess maybe former academic? Zampano is examining the truthfulness of The Navidson Record, touching on the filming style of it. Examining the lives of Navidson and Karen. Delving into critical discussions, photography, architecture, Biblical studies. Only House of Leaves doesn’t stop here.

Because Zampano recently died. So we’re introduced to Johnny Truant, who was introduced to the deceased Zampano through his friend Lude, who knows that Truant will love this guy’s apartment and the rabbit hole of The Navidson Record. So we’re also given through Truant’s footnotes of the story his life story; way more of his sexual encounters than I cared to know about, his lusting over a stripper who frequents the tattoo parlor he works for named Thumper, on account of her tattoo based on the Disney’s Bambi character.

Finally, we have the unnamed Editors of House of Leaves, who are adding footnotes to all of the above throughout the entirety of the story. Also keeping in mind is the author, Mark Z. Danielewski and the reader, all taking part in this story, published now twenty-three years ago.

So House of Leaves is a book I’ve *attempted* to read several times and failed to do so until this past week, when I devoured the book. As I sit here writing this, I’m sort of mixed on whether devouring House of Leaves is the proper way to read it, or if not reading it alongside another book, sort of ploddingly moving through it would not have been the better method.

House of Leaves is fairly infamous at this point, unlike when I first heard about it. It’s funny because it’s origins are similar to The Blair Witch Project. I remember people claiming that no, this book was based on true events, which of course plays right into the post-modernity style Danielewski was going for. Critiquing literature and literature critics. One of the reasons it’s infamous for the style the book is written in. So I described the layers of the onion, so to speak, but I’ve read and watched quite a few opinions of the book at this point and I agree that the book in and of itself is the labyrinth of The Navidson Record.

That is you’re meant to get lost in it and like a labyrinth, there are dead ends. Unlike a labyrinth, I can’t say that at this point, twenty-three years into the story that I enjoyed “solving” the labyrinth. And that’s primarily for the Johnny Truant sections of the book. Johnny is fairly certain that The Navidson Record is a fabrication, which to me, along with the story of Johnny’s mother, Pelefina, her notes, is actually a fairly big clue that Johnny is falsified.

Post modernism was a huge thing in the early aughts, where I don’t feel like its influences today are as far reaching, but pretty cliché by this point in time. But there was The Blair Witch Project, like I said that had the is this real-is this not real and all of the commentary that came with that. In video gaming you have Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, a post-modern video game, which critiques the very people playing the game, playing off their expectations of what a sequel to Metal Gear Solid should be. There’s Mulholland Dr., which came out the same year as House of Leaves and is playing with *very* similar themes and to me, is superior.

So because of Johnny’s mothers letters, it seemed pretty clear to me that Johnny, the Johnny we’re reading about, is a fabrication of Pelefina. Her letter about creating a son who could live the life she never had is written nine months before Johnny’s birth. I think Pelefina actually choked Johnny to death and everything else that happens in House of Leaves is her way of coping with having done this, ala Diane in Mulholland Dr. and the events of that movie being a fever dream of Diane’s.

Anyway, so like this is all just interpretation and there’s probably no “answer”. That’s one aspect of post-modernity that I do like, the chin stroking that happens from it is just part of the cycle of this stuff. So do I like House of Leaves? A day after finishing it. Sitting here thinking about it, I like it more today than I did yesterday. I bounced off Truant’s footnotes pretty hard while reading it. As I write this though, I like the idea of that story quite a bit (the slight comparing it to Mulholland Dr. is no slight, that’s a Top 10 movie for me). The Navidson Record parts were pretty great, especially the earlier parts. Some of the later parts didn’t hit as hard for me, especially as they escape the house, but I also didn’t read this in optimal conditions. Oh, but I did *love* The NeverEnding Story aspect of House of Leaves being a book within House of Leaves. And I sort of wonder if like being frustrated by the Truant parts is akin to being frustrated by the labyrinth. I would have liked to learn more about Zampano, I think some of what we learned about him is interesting and I think I’d prefer that over Truant, but then that’s kind of the point of my interpretation.

Would I recommend House of Leaves? That’s a hard sell for me. Because how do you succinctly sell House of Leaves to someone in a way that doesn’t ruin the surprises or put them off the book? I feel like *most* people who want to read this story will seek it out and I think the reader knows pretty early on whether or not this story is for them.

4/5

[type1diabetesinfandom]

Hey, how many canon T1 diabetic characters do you know about?

I kinda wanted to challenge myself to make a character in art everyday with visual equitment, symbols maybe, and anything else I can think of.

That sounds like a great idea! Let me know how it goes please :D

So here are the ones I know from media I have personally read/watched:

Alec Holland from Swamp Thing: Twin Branches by Maggie Stiefvater, a DC comic book. Specified as T1D.

Blue Broen from The Truth According to Blue by Eve Yohalem, a middle grade adventure novel. (I'm only a few pages in but T1D seems well done.)

Brian (and Rufus) from Rufus Comes Home by Kim Gosselin, a children's book featuring Rufus the Diabetic Bear! (I still have mine on a shelf--along with Ruby! Although I renamed her Rosetta :P put pods on 'em and everything.)

Cassie Salazar from Purple Hearts, a 2022 Netflix Original AND a romance novel by Tess Wakefield (which I have NOT read). Specified as T1D.

Hansel (played by Jeremy Renner) from the movie Hansel & Gretel: Witchhunters. He has an inaccurate, anachronistic form of diabetes referred to as ‘sugar sickness’ but it’s one of my favorite movies. Besides, the movie also has an automatic machine arrow-gun. Realistic it is not. Fun monster movie, it is. I want to write a medical fix-it fic SO bad but I don't know when.

Mackenzie Nolan from Let Me List the Ways by Sarah White, a YA contemporary romance. Specified as T1D.

Sal Vidon from Sal and Gabi Break the Universe by Carlos Hernandez, a Rick Riordan presents novel. Specified as T1D.

Stevie Hart from Lucky Few by Kathryn Ormsbee, a YA contemporary novel. Specified as T1D (but not until over 100 pages in :/ sorry I got personal beef with the book's rep but I saw a few people who liked it so... GREAT homeschooling rep tho)

Ones I have been reliably informed have T1D (or, you know, as close as we get) but have not personally read/watched:

Ezekiel from Agnes at the End of the World, a YA cult/post-apoc novel by Kelly McWilliams. Not sure if it's specified.

Captain Lantus from The Adventures of Captain Lantus, a children's book. Specified as T1D.

Kyle Broflovski and Scott Malkinson from the show South Park. I don't believe it's specified, and from what I've heard, SP makes fun of literally everything, but I know they've got a lot of fanfic in the ao3 diabetes tag!

Lucy Szabo from Sweetblood, a YA novel by Pete Hautman. Not sure if it's specified.

Dare Chase from The Girls Are Never Gone by Sarah Glenn Marsh, a YA horror fantasy novel. Not sure if it's specified.

Stacey Frick and one unnamed girl from Pixar's Turning Red movie. Both wear visible insulin pumps.

Stacey McGill from The Baby-Sitters Club, a middle grade series by Anne M Martin and a Netflix Original show. Specified as T1D.

Scott from Zebrafish by Sharon Emerson, a middle grade book. Not sure if it's specified.

Diabetes in Fiction is definitely worth a look. Their website sorts by both T1D or T2D and also by genre.

There are more lists here, but I haven't been able to verify them in any way yet:

a brief list and review of movies with T1D from DBL-diabetes

a brief list and review of shows with T1D from DBL-diabetes

An article from Healthline talking rep from both movies and shows

a rec list of kids books with T1D from the T1D Living blog

A list of children's books with T1D made by Disney and Lilly

A Goodreads list Romance Novels with Main Characters who have Diabetes

Another Goodreads list Fiction Books with Type 1 Diabetes

Yet another Goodreads list YA Books Featuring Type One Diabetes

Someone's pretty comprehensive Goodreads shelf of books that are supposed to have T1D

And another, smaller Goodreads shelf of T1D in Fiction

This was...probably way more than you need for your project, but I hope you find plenty of inspiration! (And new faves :D) I'm so excited to see what you come up with!

Plans for the Future

I guess maybe we aren't so dead after all... maybe. While the original plans for the project were a bit too ambitious to handle, there are still a few things I'd like to create.

Standalone Stories:

The Night After: An Uncertain Future story

This will serve as a compressed adaptation of Endure the Study Tour's ending as well as the focal moments of The Girl and the Professor. It mainly serves as a character-centric fic that focuses on emotional moments, but also features glimpses into the action and allusions to characters like the Chaos Knight and Iron Myth.

The Hailey-Ween Hack: Justice's Calling

In an alternate world where things really went wrong in the world of An Uncertain Future, three heroes arrive to answer the call. As Clover, Martlet and Starlo find themselves in the world of Hailey's On It, they find it to be ruled over by the corrupt superhero Iron Myth (Tony Smark). In a hellish world where it's Kill or be Killed, the trio find themselves faced with horrible enemies and petulant allies, will they even be able to hold onto their JUSTICE before it turns to VENGEANCE?

This fic will be rated M and will contain Graphic Depictions of Violence. This also serves as a crossover and stealth pilot to @bluefeathers06's Unnamed Deltarune Yellow project, but won't be canon to it. Nor will it use the same versions of the characters.

Releasing Concepts:

I guess that means I'll be sharing the original concepts for some of the plans I had, whether or not they've been scrapped.

Series Revival:

If the series ever gets fully or partially revived, it will be on a smaller scale overall. The total amount of entries has been shortened from 7 to 5, to remove filler.

Hailey's On It: An Uncertain Future

After being barred from completing list items, Hailey Banks' field trip to the Aestius Labs Giga Scieceum takes a turn for the worse when the edutainment complex's ROBOTS go haywire. After being lost in the bowels of the complex, Hailey is stranded there in the middle of the night while being stalked by the mysterious Chaos Knight. Determined to uncover the role of the corrupt Aestius Labs in stopping her from completing her List, Hailey discovers a much darker truth about her role in this. Should she pursue the truth, or risk losing her friendship with Scott and shattering her own reality?

Hailey's On It: Key to Our Future

Triumphing against the Chaos Knight after obtaining a Keyblade of her own, Hailey Banks is caught in the aftermath of a massive revelation about the List. Trying to regain importance, Hailey takes up the role of the Keybearer, defending the worlds of the "Disney TVA" against the Heartless. In addition, she ends up joining Smark Industries' coalition of the greatest teenage minds of the multiverse, in an attempt to create her Climate Change reversal machine. But when the seemingly-heroic Tony Smark turns out to not be truly benign, Hailey is at risk of losing her very HEART.

Hailey's On It: Endure the Study Tour

Over a year after the events that unfolded, Hailey is left a jaded 17 year-old member of the Organization XIV. A new Study Tour to Highkeep in the Trifectus Realm provides a new opportunity to reconnect with Scott, but in the very place she dreaded returning to. But the spidernetic assasin Spider-Male has other plans, and Hailey and Scott will have to balance their field trip with fighting the forces of Smark Industries.

Hailey's On It: The Girl and the Professor

After the disaster that was their study tour, Hailey mends her relationship with the Professor and get to know each other more, with Hailey even coming to a new realisation about herself. But when the truth about the Chaos Knight's identity comes to light, Hailey is left grappling what this meant about her. Meanwhile, Iron Myth/Tony Smark prepares one last attack...

Hailey's On It: The Chaos War!

Oceanside is under attack! Caught in the crossfire of the Chaos Knight and her Chaos Boat forces, as well as Iron Myth's legions of androids and the assisting Retributors, everything is down to them. With everything they hold dear at stake, Hailey Banks and Scott Denoga will need to take one final stand to save their world.

[alanshee-keeper-of-realms]

In 2024 we are gonna have a rumble at the Awards in the Animation Field,

The Fall Guy (2024) Cast, Release Date, Trailer

"Slated for a March 1, 2024 release by Universal Pictures, 'The Fall Guy' is a fresh take on the 1980s television series, now reimagined as an action comedy film under the direction of David Leitch with Drew Pearce's screenplay. The film brings together Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, telling the story of Colt, a stuntman whose best days seem behind him. He's thrown into a twisty scenario on a movie set, doubling for an A-list star he once stood in for. The plot thickens when the star disappears, prompting Colt to unravel the mystery, especially as the film's future is at stake and his ex-girlfriend is in the director's chair."

'The Fall Guy': Release Date, Cast, Plot

Riding high from his Oscar-winning performance as Cliff Booth in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," Brad Pitt joined forces with David Leitch for the action-comedy "Bullet Train." Similarly, Ryan Gosling, after turning heads with his portrayal of Ken in Greta Gerwig's "Barbie," is already a favorite for Best Supporting Actor this year. Now, Gosling is set to collaborate with Leitch in "The Fall Guy," an action-packed romantic comedy inspired by the 1980s series featuring Lee Majors. This film promises to blend high-octane action with comedic beats, capitalizing on the rich potential of its Hollywood stuntman narrative and the high-caliber talent involved.

The Fall Guy (2024) Cast

Ryan Gosling steps into the shoes of Colt Seavers, a seasoned stuntman, in "The Fall Guy," evoking his memorable role as The Driver in "Drive." Known for blending humor with charm, Gosling's comedic timing, as showcased in "Barbie" and "The Nice Guys," is anticipated to shine once more. Emily Blunt, fresh from her role in "Oppenheimer," portrays Jody Moreno, Colt's ex and a former stuntwoman turned director. Aaron Taylor-Johnson reunites with Leitch post "Bullet Train," embodying the missing star Tom Ryder. The ensemble includes Stephanie Hsu, Winston Duke, Hannah Waddingham, and Teresa Palmer, with industry icon Lee Majors rumored for a cameo. The film has Gosling embracing stunt work, heightening the authenticity of his portrayal.

The Fall Guy (2024) Production

The development of a film adaptation of the 1980s series "The Fall Guy" has seen significant evolution over the years. Initially reported by the Los Angeles Times in July 2010, DreamWorks Pictures set the project in motion with producers Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald. Martin Campbell was in discussion to direct. The film's distribution was to be managed by DreamWorks through Walt Disney Studios' Touchstone Pictures label for certain regions, with Mister Smith Entertainment handling other territories. By September 2013, the production shifted with Dwayne Johnson in negotiations for the lead role and McG considered for the directorial role. Fast forward to September 2020, a new development surfaced with Ryan Gosling, director David Leitch, and writer Drew Pearce working on an "unnamed stuntman film" under Universal Pictures. It was in May 2022 when it was officially announced that this project was indeed the film adaptation of "The Fall Guy." This new rendition is backed by Universal with Leitch's 87North Productions and Entertainment 360, with production being led by Leitch, Kelly McCormick, Gosling, and Guymon Casady. Pearce serves as an executive producer along with Geoff Shaevitz and the original series creator, Glen A. Larson. Furthermore, the production received financial support from the Australian Government and the New South Wales state authorities, with contributions of A$30 million and A$14.5 million respectively. This investment by Australia was anticipated to significantly benefit the local economy, providing over 1,000 jobs for Australian cast and crew members, as well as involvement for more than 3,015 Australian film extras. Casting The casting for "The Fall Guy" film adaptation saw the addition of several notable actors over time. In September 2022, Emily Blunt was confirmed to join the cast. Around the same time, Ryan Gosling and his family moved to Australia to commence the filming process. A month later, in October 2022, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Stephanie Hsu were announced as part of the ensemble, with Taylor-Johnson having previously collaborated with director David Leitch on the movie "Bullet Train" (2022). The cast expanded further in November 2022, with Winston Duke, Hannah Waddingham, and Teresa Palmer coming onboard. Filming Filming for "The Fall Guy" took place primarily in Sydney, Australia, with principal photography kicking off in October 2022. The production was set up at the Disney Studios Australia located in Moore Park, Sydney. The media captured scenes of night shoots at the Goulburn Street parking lot, where Ryan Gosling was spotted with long hair and a beard. A notable filming event included the temporary closure of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in January 2023 to accommodate scenes featuring Gosling. Filming concluded on March 2, 2023. Music The film's musical aspects were also given significant attention. Dominic Lewis was responsible for composing the score of "The Fall Guy." Additionally, country music artist Blake Shelton contributed to the soundtrack by covering "Unknown Stuntman," which was the theme song of the original series performed by Lee Majors.

What Is 'The Fall Guy' About?

"The Fall Guy" film adaptation centers on Colt Seavers, a stuntman currently without work, who receives an unexpected call from his former girlfriend, now making her directorial debut with a high-budget Hollywood film. He's brought on board to perform stunts for an up-and-coming, yet insufferable, action movie star. But when the star mysteriously disappears, Colt is thrust into a mission to locate and rescue him from the gritty depths of Hollywood, all while aiming to reignite an old romance, ensure the movie's completion, and cement his status as the top stuntman in the business. This narrative deviates from the original television series, where Lee Majors' Colt Seavers not only performed stunts but also led a double life as a bounty hunter, encountering a new adventure each week. Known for its spectacular stunts, action-packed scenes tailored to its budget, and a humorously self-aware tone, the series was a hallmark of its era. The upcoming movie intends to strike a different chord, with director David Leitch blending action with comedy in a fresh, engaging storyline that draws from his extensive experience in the stunt world.

Star Wars Celebration London - The good, the Great, and the Accidental Spoilers

Star Wars celebration has arrived! Cosplayers, nerds, actors, writers, artists, directors and anyone in between gathered in London to celebrate everything star wars. The event was even live streamed--allowing people who were unable to afford tickets to cheer for new projects alongside a live audience. While I personally was unable to watch every single panel that was live-streamed (as there were 20 hours of provided footage in total) I stayed for the important ones. 

There were a few key announcements made at the celebration. Dave Filloni, a cowboy-hat-wearing superfan turned incredible artist and director, responsible for critically acclaimed works like Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and The Mandalorian, along with his upcoming series Ahsoka, was announced to be directing a currently unnamed star wars movie. 

The only information given was that such a movie would be the culmination of all of the Star Wars Disney Plus shows, concluding the storylines that began in Ahsoka and The Mandalorian. As a fan of Mr. Filoni’s earlier projects, this is immensely exciting. While his storylines are not beloved by everyone, they are almost always cohesive and carefully thought out. He puts an immense amount of effort into his work, and it's incredible that he has been given the opportunity to spearhead a movie in the future. 

Two other movies were announced, one featuring Daisy Ridley returning to her role as Rey, as she rebuilds the Jedi Order and another that takes place thousands of years in the past, documenting the beginning of the Jedi themselves. 

The celebration was going smoothly: the trailer for Ahsoka was put online as a panel featuring the shows actors, new trailers and art for Jedi: Survivor was released in anticipation of the game coming out, and with more announcements to come in the next few days, nothing could go wrong!

Things did, in fact, go wrong. 

In an attempt to provide a true reason to attend the celebration (outside of the experience itself), Lucasfilm decided to air several celebration-exclusive trailers. Footage that only those who attended the event would have a chance to see. Despite repeatedly telling audiences not to take photos, the entire (and I mean the ENTIRE) exclusive trailer for Ahsoka was released online. Yes, it was shaky camera footage, but the internet did what the internet does best, and started relentlessly making fun of how some of the characters looked. More specifically, comparing the grainy, reflective footage of the series' main villain, Thrawn, to billionaire Elon Musk.

New HD Thrawn Image by u/Affectionate_Fall242 in StarWars

While I did not work behind the scenes of Star Wars Celebration, I can imagine the frustration and anger of all of the hardworking creators who wanted to give those attending the celebration something to be excited about. On the next day of the celebration, an interview with one of the other actors in Ahsoka was interrupted by the appearance of Lars Mikkelsen, the voice actor of Thrawn in various animated projects, to announce that he was playing the villain in the Ahsoka series. 

A reveal that was undoubtedly planned to stay under wraps for at least a few weeks, was squandered. Even more frustrating, trailers for two other announced shows were also leaked online. 

All “Celebration Exclusive” footage did not stay exclusive. These leaked trailers and photos were exciting to fans everywhere--I can understand why someone would choose to post videos and photos of them online, especially as someone unable to attend the event, yet I also feel like there is something meaningful about seeing these announcements together with a huge group of other nerds, and knowing that you are paying for an exclusive experience.

Summary:

A door suddenly appeared inside Casita, letting some alternate versions of Bruno enter the house, all immediately renamed by the family. But it also permitted a more villainous one to enter, named Evil Bruno. To beat him they must find the Great Alejandra, the amazing founder of the Encanto in most worlds.
