Exclusive: Canadian comedy Run the Burbs is in production for its third run.
Season 3 CBC and Pier 21 Films series from Andrew Phung and Scott Townend is in production around Toronto, Hamilton and Barrie. It follows a loving Vietnamese and Indian family, the Phams, in the suburbs and their oddball neighbors.
Phung stars in the ensemble comedy alongside the likes of Rakhee Morzaria, Zoriah Wong and Roman Pesino.
The new season will run to 13 episodes and launch in winter 2024 on CBC and streamer CBC Gem. It will include a now-annual Vietnamese Lunar New Year – Tết – episode and will once again include DJ and rapper Kardinall Offishall, in a role that has brought him a 2023 CSA nomination alongside Phung and Morzaria.
“Having the opportunity to showcase this family on television has been a dream come true,” said creators Phung and Townend. “It’s an absolute joy seeing the Phams grow from season to season.

[1] The more I've heard about Diablo Cody's Sweet Valley High movie adaptation, the clearer it's become that she's the perfect person to bring Francine Pascal's Ya series to the big screen. Since landing [2] the project back in 2009, Cody's described her approach as a "sharp comedy/satire [3]" that will "[be] to the ’80s what American Graffiti [4] was to the [early] ’60s." It's a smart way to approach the material, which was (in retrospect, now that I'm not 13) pretty silly stuff but which still brings up strong feelings of nostalgia in people who grew up reading the books as kids. And now, Cody's hinted at another, more unexpected angle she could be adding to the film. In a recent interview, Cody revealed that Broadway vets Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey (Next to Normal) have signed on to write tunes for the Sweet Valley High, and teased that the movie could just wind up becoming a musical.

Screened at the Berlin International Film Festival
BERLIN -- "Snow Cake" tries to wring intimate drama and sweet epiphanies from a collection of oddball characters, peculiar circumstances and doubtful coincidences in a middle-of-nowhere Canadian town. The mental and physical landscape would do justice to an Atom Egoyan film, but in this film, written by Angela Pell and directed by Marc Evans, the key dramatic moments feel as forced as they are predictable.
This low-key Canadian-British production, the opening-night selection for the Berlin International Film Festival, has a chance at art house exposure with its cast of Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver and Carrie-Anne Moss, but theatrical opportunities will be limited.
Mostly, Pell presents characters out of sync with their lives, uncomfortable in their bodies and overly protective of their emotions. There is one live wire, but she must die early for these people to connect at all.
Young and over-caffeinated Vivienne (Emily Hampshire) is the sacrificial lamb in this fiction, a gregarious and talkative hitchhiker who is grudgingly picked up by the sour-faced and incommunicative Alex (Rickman), whose entire body sags under the weight of the baggage of his past.
As the two near her destination, a terrible car accident claims her life but leaves Alex with barely a scratch. Overwhelmed with remorse and guilt, even though the accident was not his fault, Alex seeks out Vivienne's mother, Linda (Weaver), who scarcely reacts to her daughter's death. This, he soon learns, is due to her autism. Only it's the kind of literary autism that allows her to make sagacious observations and funny remarks.
Linda does persuade Alex To stay the night, which turns into several more nights. It's enough time for Alex To begin an unlikely affair with beautiful neighbor Maggie (Moss), who is no more out of place in this environment than a three-star restaurant. And, wouldn't you know it, Maggie, too, has a past.
Everyone's past, none of which is nearly as interesting as the filmmakers seem to believe, gets chewed over in the coming days. Then there's a local cop (James Allodi), smitten with unrequited affection for Maggie, lurking ominously in the background, jealously festering over her swift embrace of this lonely drifter. It's a plot line without a payoff.
Performances here feel like performances. Rickman and Weaver have so carefully thought through their roles in such minute physical details that nothing feels spontaneous. By contrast, Moss is warm and natural, but her urban character is so underwritten and alarmingly out of place in this small town that all Maggie can do is act as a catalyst for other people's healing.
Cinematographer Steve Cosens often keeps the camera close as if the world were hemming in these characters. He and designer Matthew Davies make the dusty, snowy town feel as desolate as their lives while Canadian rock band Broken Social Scene supplies a restless musical accompaniment.

BERLIN -- "Snow Cake" tries to wring intimate drama and sweet epiphanies from a collection of oddball characters, peculiar circumstances and doubtful coincidences in a middle-of-nowhere Canadian town. The mental and physical landscape would do justice to an Atom Egoyan film, but in this film, written by Angela Pell and directed by Marc Evans, the key dramatic moments feel as forced as they are predictable.
This low-key Canadian-British production, the opening-night selection for the Berlin International Film Festival, has a chance at art house exposure with its cast of Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver and Carrie-Anne Moss, but theatrical opportunities will be limited.
Mostly, Pell presents characters out of sync with their lives, uncomfortable in their bodies and overly protective of their emotions. There is one live wire, but she must die early for these people to connect at all.
Young and over-caffeinated Vivienne (Emily Hampshire) is the sacrificial lamb in this fiction, a gregarious and talkative hitchhiker who is grudgingly picked up by the sour-faced and incommunicative Alex (Rickman), whose entire body sags under the weight of the baggage of his past.
As the two near her destination, a terrible car accident claims her life but leaves Alex with barely a scratch. Overwhelmed with remorse and guilt, even though the accident was not his fault, Alex seeks out Vivienne's mother, Linda (Weaver), who scarcely reacts to her daughter's death. This, he soon learns, is due to her autism. Only it's the kind of literary autism that allows her to make sagacious observations and funny remarks.
