A survivor of the Baja California accident that claimed the lives of actors Raymundo Garduño Cruz and Juan Francisco González from the Netflix series “The Chosen One” says he doesn’t blame the van driver or the production company. But actor Yeray Albelda says it’s the norm that “people are exhausted” in many productions.
The Mexican actors union Anda also held a remote press conference Tuesday to weigh in on the fatal crash.
In an interview with Variety, Albelda, one of the six survivors of the crash, said he was told that a mechanical failure might have caused it. Others, he was told, have speculated that the driver was trying to avoid a pothole or even a deer. No official report has been filed yet.
“For sure, long days and nights are the norm in most productions, people are exhausted,” Abelda said.
Sources close to the production have confirmed that filming has resumed.

For job seekers in El Paso, Texas, one well-paid option is in law enforcement. The city sits on the U.S.-Mexico border and teems with officers from the border patrol, Ice, DEA, the Texas state police, the local police department and sheriff’s department. Plus there’s the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Teens who want to get a jump start on that career can study law enforcement in programs across Texas, including one at Horizon High School in the El Paso area. Horizon’s program and three of its students are the subject of At The Ready, premiering in U.S. Documentary Competition at the Sundance Film Festival.
“We met these students, they all had different, compelling stories that they were all open to sharing,” director Maisie Crow said during an appearance in Deadline’s virtual Sundance Studio. “We really wanted to look...

Chef’s Table has become one of television’s most celebrated food-themed programs since it debuted in 2015, but there was a time the Netflix series faced an uphill battle getting made.
“Nobody wanted to hear a pitch about a food show without a celebrity host attached to it except for Netflix,” creator and executive producer David Gelb recalls. “I’m very fortunate they had the vision to let me come in and make the show with them, which is really unique in the food space with no host and no culinary instruction.”
Now in its sixth season, Chef’s Table is Emmy-nominated again this year for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series. Throughout its history, the show has focused each episode on a single chef.
“It’s about a biographical, emotional journey through a creative life,” Gelb explains. “The focus [is] on story, on passionate characters, on emotion and really looking at why chefs cook,...

You've heard by now from Goop, that Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin are in the process of a "Conscious Uncoupling". Yes, that's a fancy therapeutic way to describe a breakup but why is the internet treating it like a virus that must be eradicated? I've been mostly amused but, I'll admit, a little disappointed by the way the internet (generally speaking) is treating this as something to mock. The word "pretentious" is bandied about a lot.
It's a reminder that the internet as a collective is stuck in perpetual adolescence or at least most people are, on and off the internet. I don't mean to be a killjoy or a scold but honest question: what's so bad about a long term couple with kids trying to break up amicably? More power to them if they can stay friendly.
Misery loves company. Maybe its our own shame at our own messy breakups...

Flaming Lips mastermind Wayne Coyne took away more than just a vial of blood when he traveled to Nashville to record with Ke$ha. (Though, really, you'd think that would be enough.) He also left with his first-ever tattoo ... not to mention a newfound respect for the wild-child pop star.
"Most of the time, if someone's willing to work with me, they're going to be a freak. And Ke$ha ... I sort of thought that she would be a freak, I'd heard about her and we'd tried to get a hold of her earlier," Coyne told MTV News backstage at the Hangout Fest in Gulf Shores, Alabama. "We showed up at her house, and she has a tattoo gun that she gives everyone a tattoo with,...

It's a given that Kanye West's new album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy will be a commercial hit, but considering West's erratic personality and his ever-evolving relationship with the media, it was never a sure thing that the album would be reviewed well. Most of West's past albums have been written about well, though they do tend to be polarizing (this was especially true of West's previous album 808s & Heartbreak, which fiercely divided everybody). But the first batch of high-profile reviews for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, it turns out that critics are absolutely in love with West's latest opus, and it's on track to be one of the best-reviewed releases of the year and a sure-fire "Album of the Year" candidate for many publications and sites.

As a rule, we tend to decline invitations to junkets or junket-like events here at The A.V. Club, because the lure of trips and snack tables is so likely to cloud our judgment about a film. But when the chance to speak with Will Ferrell and his producing/writing partner Adam McKay came up, we couldn’t resist the urge to send someone—new L.A. city editor Chris Martins—into on-camera battle. The occasion: the release of The Foot Fist Way, a scrappy indie comedy written by newcomers Danny McBride and Ben Best (who also star) and Jody Hill (who also directs). Ferrell and McKay liked the movie—about a low-rent tae kwon do instructor—so much that it became the first release for their new company, Gary Sanchez Productions. In the first two videos, Ferrell and McKay talk about happening upon the film, and in the third,...
