Happy Monday, folks!
Today, I saw Sean Wang’s directorial debut Didi, a Sundance sensation that proved to be a delightful coming-of-age film — one that had me laughing, contemplating life, and how the misery of adolescence is both eternally relatable and universal.
I also saw Deadpool and Wolverine, which I plan to review on Tuesday afternoon, though spoiler alert — I didn’t care for it. Surprise, surprise…
In tonight’s newsletter, you’ll read about a dozen projects that Lee Isaac Chung should be considering after Twisters’ monster opening, and that would also be lucky to have him. I also weave that story into Brian Grazer’s recent interview with CNBC’s Squawk Box, where he discussed plans for a 24 movie and a new Backdraft film.
Plus, there are stories about Sony’s I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel, the controversy surrounding Netflix’s Prince docuseries, Homicide: Life on the Street coming to streaming, Paramount+ canceling one of its expensive sci-fi series, the reveal of a new lieutenant on Law & Order, and my thoughts on the trailer for the indie thriller The Wasp.
