New York-based comedy writers and actors Jeremy Levick and Rajat Suresh, who regularly satirize pop culture and the news in videos they share on Twitter, recently tackled a subject that hits close to home for us here at The Hollywood Reporter — the THR Actor Roundtable.
In early March, before the Oscars, Levick and Suresh launched The Hollywood Recorder Actors Roundtable, a 54-minute parody of the long-running THR franchise. For their fictional news outlet, The Hollywood Recorder, Levick and Suresh re-created the THR Roundtable experience in painstaking detail, from our starry and inclusive casts to our moderators’ hard-hitting questions (“Finish this sentence: I act because …”) to our use of a really, really, really big table. The Recorder’s Roundtable features Justin Theroux as a self-serious actor promoting an Oscar bait movie (for the record, we have never met anyone like that) and includes performances by actors Colin Stokes as the moderator,...

F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote that “there are no second acts in American lives.” By returning to the Walt Disney Company and resuming his former role as chief executive officer, Bob Iger will attempt to disprove that maxim.
But if Iger’s first stint at Disney was marked by growth and an exciting wave of transformative acquisitions, his comeback will require a different set of skills. Bob the Builder must become Bob the Manager. And that’s a whole lot less fun.
Take the situation that Disney and many other media companies find themselves in right now. Wall Street has soured on the idea of streaming subscription growth at all costs, preferring instead to focus on pesky things like profits. In this climate, the sheer expense of creating more and more premium content for Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ has imperiled the company’s stock price. In its most recent quarter,...

Toby Emmerich’s exit as chairman of the Warner Bros. Pictures group, and the ascension of former MGM film leaders Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy, are just the latest instances of upheaval in what is already shaping up to be a tempestuous new era at the studio behind Harry Potter and Batman.
Emmerich’s ouster has been gossiped about for years, dating back well before the company was sold to Discovery. Still, his decision to leave for a production deal stunned executives on the studio’s Burbank lot, many of whom had worked with Emmerich for decades. It comes on the heels of a series of head-spinning directives from Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav and his leadership team, who have been simultaneously obsessed with finding 3 billion in cost-saving synergies while expanding the number of movies the company produces. That mission also includes a mandate to land the hottest talent to make those projects,...

A day prior to the glitzy world premiere of “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore,” Ezra Miller, who has a key role in the upcoming “Harry Potter” spinoff sequel, was arrested for disorderly conduct and harassment.
In another timeline, Miller, known for striking red carpet outfits and zany interviews, would have been front and center to promote “The Secrets of Dumbledore,” which opens in North American theaters on April 15. Instead, that incident and other eyebrow-raising events forced Warner Bros. to downplay Miller’s involvement in the film franchise. Complicating matters is the fact that Miller also headlines next year’s DC Comics adaptation “The Flash” for Warners.
It’s the latest in a long list of controversies plaguing “Fantastic Beasts.” The fantastical series was intended to wring newfound riches from author J.K Rowling’s sprawling Wizarding World after 2011’s “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” capped off a...

For top U.S. film schools, the pandemic has scrambled travel plans for international students, disrupted programs, delayed applications, dented enrollment and strained finances to provide safety protocols in 2020 and 2021. And maybe that’s not all bad. The inconvenience of remote work (read: Zoom fatigue), smaller crews to allow for social distancing and requirements to shorten shooting hours has put artistic pressure on students to create shorter films, and that’s good for aspiring filmmakers, academics say, pointing to a silver-screen lining of the pandemic to young film-makers. Why? “Film festivals want shorter films. Crisis is leading to an opportunity,” said Stephen Galloway, dean of Chapman University’s Dodge School of the Arts in Orange, California. While it’s too soon to tell whether the pandemic will be reflected in the length of student films entered into film festivals next year, Galloway said Chapman has been encouraging shorter films for...

“Gone With the Wind,” “Birth of a Nation” and, more recently, Woody Allen’s “Manhattan,” are movies that should be explained rather than forgotten, a panel of top film critics said in TheWrap’s second in its series “Conversations on Cancel Culture.”
Washington Post critic Ann Hornaday said that a new generation of viewers see these films as problematic, and critics need to frame them appropriately. “Their expectations have fundamentally changed in terms of what they see as acceptable behavior, and this gets to their expectations as audiences,” Hornaday said. “They look at this stuff, and they’re wondering why we ever accepted it in the first place. It’s our job to the degree that we’re stewards of the culture and the patrimony to explain to them why this was valued and also to why it has problems.”

Anne Beatts, a pioneering comedy writer who helped launch “Saturday Night Live” and created the 1980s cult-favorite sitcom “Square Pegs,” died Wednesday at her home in West Hollywood. She was 74.
Beatts’ death was confirmed by her longtime friend Rona Edwards.
Beatts was a revered figure in comedy circles given her long resume. She and then-writing partner Rosie Shuster were among the very few women to work on “SNL” at the time of its debut in 1975 on NBC. Beatts was also the first female contributing editor to National Lampoon.
In the early 1980s, Beatts created the CBS comedy “Square Pegs,” which was a launching pad for Sarah Jessica Parker. The series that revolved around a group of awkward high school students was embraced by critics as a breath of fresh air for TV at the time, reflecting the burgeoning youth culture of the 1980s.

Matt Belloni was fired as editorial director of The Hollywood Reporter after 14 years at the publication on Monday with no reason given for the move, although TheWrap reported tension between him and Modi Wiczyk and Asif Satchu — the co-CEOs of THR’s parent company Valence Media — over editorial independence.
TheWrap obtained his exit memo to his staff, in which the longtime editor wrote: “”Well-meaning, diligent, ambitious people can disagree about fundamental priorities and strategies.”

Updated With Belloni Memo: Four years after Matthew Belloni ostensibly took over from Janice Min at The Hollywood Reporter, the long time writer for the Tinseltown trade is exiting in the middle of the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.
Though stressing in a memo to staff that the move is “100% amicable,” Belloni also revealed some serious tension at the top of the Valence Media-owned magazine that maybe rendered things untenable. “Today’s announcement is the result of a series of conversations I’ve had for a few months with Modi [Valence co-chief Wiczyk] about the direction at THR,” the now former editorial director says. “Some may want to read into that, but I’ll just say that well-meaning, diligent, ambitious people can disagree about fundamental priorities and strategies.” (Read The Full Memo Below)
Part of that disagreement: Valence wanting a heads up or some say over THR stories that put a harsh spotlight on its industry allies, I hear. “It wasn’t quite editorial control, but they wanted a slant that made them not the bad guy,” a well placed source tells me of the real deal. “They also wanted more ink for their other interests, like Dick Clark Productions.”
None of that was in the standard corporate speak statement from Valence Media’s co-CEOs on Monday
“We respect and like Matt a great deal,” Wiczyk and Asif Satchu said in a statement Monday announcing Belloni’s exit. “It has been enjoyable to work together, and we greatly admire his commitment to impactful journalism,” they added, of Belloni’s long stint at the mag. “He has pushed the team to hold itself to a high standard, and we are proud of the work he and the entire editorial group have done these past years.”
Tellingly, the statement from Wiczyk and Satchu gives no specific indication as to why Belloni was abruptly shown the door, especially during such a time of growing economic hardship for the industry and the world in general. Noticeably, it also did not reveal if this is the first of other changes to come at THR as belts tighten due to the consequences of the Covid-19 crisis.
However, as an indication of lingering friction at the mag, THR’s executive editor Stephen Galloway left to take an academic gig at almost 30 years at the publication.
In a March meeting held by the owners, they promised there would be no layoffs due to coronavirus constraints – but an insider tells me that Belloni’s exit could tug at the loyalty of staffers.
Trained as a lawyer before entering entertainment journalism, Belloni will continue for the next month in an editorial consultant capacity for THR. Unlike when Min left in 2016, no successor has been unveiled for the top THR job as of yet.
Read The Full Memo From Matt Belloni To THR Staff Here:
I’m writing today to break news that many of you thought you’d never read: I’m leaving The Hollywood Reporter.
Change is good; you gotta reinvent to thrive; do something that scares you every day; etc, etc. All the clichés are clichés because they’re true: It’s time for something new for me.
But leaving this place is still hard, mostly because I won’t be working with all of you.
My 14 years at THR have been the greatest of my professional life. I arrived as a young lawyer (thanks to Bob Dowling and Norah Weinstein for the opportunity — and the pay cut!), participated in one of the greatest media relaunches ever (thanks to the uniquely talented Janice Min) and had the opportunity to lead this staff at a time of immense disruption and the MeToo movement. It’s been a privilege to lead this group of amazing media people — a nonstop, 24/7 , nerve-wracking, gray hair-inducing, often absurd and hilarious privilege — and most of all challenging and rewarding.
Together we’ve created so much impactful and enlightening journalism. Together we’ve earned all those National Magazine Award nominations. Together we’ve elevated what an industry print magazine can be, blown past our competitors and grown THR’s web audience to nearly 25 million uniques a month (our past three months have been our biggest ever!). And together we have created a collaborative and supportive team culture, one that allows us to maintain a high level of quality and insane volume while only wanting to kill each other a few times a year during awards seasons.
None of this would have been possible without Todd Boehly, THR’s owner for many of these years, who has supported me personally and who understands the value of a thriving brand. Thanks also to the Valence CEOs Modi and Asif for their leadership these past few years, to the incomparable Lynne Segall, who is everything that an editor could want in a publisher, and to Stephen Galloway for mentoring me early on and helping me to grow as an editor and manager.
There are just too many people on this current staff to mention in an email like this, so I’m going to reach out to people personally in the next few days. Thanks to each of you for playing a role in our success, for the relationships we have forged, for the late nights, for the break-the-internet stories, for the gorgeous cover shoots and videos, for enduring the Hollywood screamers, for the frustrating no’s, the improbable yeses and for giving me the confidence to take chances and defy expectations.
Also a shout-out to my wife Kimberlin for living through the many, many intrusions that this crazy job entails. Ok, now this is veering into bad Oscar speech territory….
Journalists being journalists, some may wonder: Why now? No, the current global situation didn’t play a role in my exit. Today’s announcement is the result of a series of conversations I’ve had for a few months with Modi about the direction at THR. Some may want to read into that, but I’ll just say that well-meaning, diligent, ambitious people can disagree about fundamental priorities and strategies.
That’s what happened here, and my exit is 100% amicable. I’ll be rooting for THR from afar, and I know that my personal friendships with all my colleagues here will endure. I’ll be around for the next month to tie up loose ends and hopefully position THR for a new editor to make her or his mark. I hope I’ve made mine.

Taylor Swift’s gender-bending transformation in her self-directed “The Man” music video is still mind-boggling a week out from its release. Over the course of five hours each day on set, makeup artist Bill Corso and his team turned Swift into her finance bro alter-ego, but up until now, we’ve only seen photographs of the process.
On Friday, we finally got a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot, and it’s equal parts adorable and disturbing. I couldn’t keep a stupid grin off my face as I watched Swift...

Taylor Swift fooled nearly everyone in her latest music video (and directorial debut), “The Man,” in which she dressed up as her own male alter ego “Tyler Swift” to demonstrate toxic masculinity in the workplace.
It was quite an impressive drag persona, so much so that it was hard to tell at times whether it really was Swift under all that facial hair.
Since “The Man” video came out, Swift herself, as well as the video’s makeup artist, Bill Corso, have shed some light on how the hell this transformation happened.
