Millie Bobby Brown is as close as we have come to the old Hollywood model where stars were contracted to make movies only for certain studios.
Excl: STRANGER THINGS star Millie Bobby Brown & Gabriel LaBelle, who broke out with Steven Spielberg’s THE FABELMANS, will star in Netflix rom-com JUST PICTURE IT

And the Dem establishment is not really full throat supporting the current Dem nominee for NYC mayor either.
Not the main point here, but I always love the insistence by one party that the other party is more loyal and cohesive. “democrats stick together like glue”. Well, except that de facto parliamentary coup this time of a year ago in which they purged their sitting president.

These guys don’t understand the importance of scarcity.
Kids today don't realize it, but you used to be able to turn on ESPN and not see Stephen A. Smith or Pat McAfee. They were glorious times. .

Welp we almost had a drama free 49ers offseason….
49ers WR Jauan Jennings, who is scheduled to make $7.5 million this season in the final year of his deal, wants a new contract or a trade, per sources. 49ers extended Jennings’ deal last year, but that does not change how Jennings feels about this year.

Kind of guarantees you won’t be entertained by anything.
People are rating movies depending on its affiliation to their political views whether the film is too woke or if it wants to free Palestine or not. This is an insane way of being entertained.

Nice scoop, one of the longest running stories in Hollywood is who eventually buys Lionsgate (esp now that it’s finally divorced from Starz).
Legendary, backed by Apollo, would like to buy Lions Gate. Scoop with @tgbuckley .

I’m just saying Bari’s whole schtick was not being beholden to so-called establishment/legacy media but will now join one of the largest media conglomerates?.

No singular industry within Hollywood is as vulnerable to AI than VFX.
Exclusive: In a rare reverse, AI-native startup @GetRembrand (founded 2022) is acquiring 19-year-old Mirriad — its first-ever deal. The move gives Rembrand a foothold in Hollywood and signals a broader shift: legacy VFX firms being absorbed by AI upstarts powered by AI agents.

Most money or biggest audience? Can’t have both anymore.
Scoop: I’m reliably told that Apple’s offer for U.S. rights to Formula 1 came in between $150 million and $200 million per year—far above the reported $85 million to $90 million that ESPN is currently paying. More in tonight's In The Room @PuckNews:
