Isabela Merced tries to get out of her own head in the first trailer for the forthcoming feature adaptation of John Green’s best-selling 2017 novel Turtles All the Way Down.

When John Green's "Turtles All the Way Down" was released in 2017, the young-adult novel was an instant bestseller, topping the New York Times list. It stayed there for over a year, with the "The Fault in Our Stars" author announcing during that time that the movie was in development. The long-awaited adaptation was filmed in 2022, and director Hannah Marks teased the project just a little bit to Popsugar. "'Turtles All the Way Down' is an incredible book," she said while promoting her movie "Don't Make Me Go." "First and foremost, I love the book by John Green, and the movie really stays true to the book in so many ways. I think we really worked hard on making it a faithful adaptation."
She continued, "And beyond that, it's pretty cool that we have two teenage Latina leads in the movie, which hasn't been done very much before. And the...

All 22,000 plus voting members of the TV academy have until June 28 to cast their 2021 Emmy Awards nominations ballots for programs. Unlike the Oscars, voters for the Emmys do not rank their choices and nominees are determined by a simple tally. In the past, voters were limited in the number of programs that they could put forth. Four years ago that cap (which was usually 10 per category) was lifted.
While the comedy and drama series ballots have each maintained an average of over 100 entrants in recent years, there have nearly always been fewer than 40 choices in the limited series genre. There are 37 shows on the list this year, which is down by four from last year. There were 35 in 2019, 33 in 2018, and 25 in 2017. Five series from the list below will make the cut and be announced as Emmy nominees on July 13.

Netflix’s “Grand Army” (premiering Oct. 16) technically isn’t an adaptation of Katie Cappiello’s 2013 “Slut: The Play,” though it features three characters from the play—including the its central character—with one of the roles even being reprised by an actor from the play. Instead, Cappiello’s “Grand Army” goes from focusing on just one central character—in “Slut: The Play,” it was 16-year-old Joey Del Marco, a girl who is raped by three of her friends—to following five very different students at Grand Army High School in Brooklyn, New York. So while the Joey character (Odessa A’zion) and her story are certainly front and center in “Grand Army,” the series is ultimately more of an ensemble teen drama a la “Degrassi” or “13 Reasons Why,” only grittier than the former and, thankfully, less bleak than the latter.

In the premiere of Netflix’s new teen drama Grand Army, a bomb goes off near the titular Brooklyn public high school, forcing a lockdown. The episode acknowledges the physical danger the kids may be in, but is more concerned with how they behave in such an intense circumstance. Some are completely unfazed, like aspiring musician Jayson (Maliq Johnson) and a friend who start rifling through the purse of basketball player Dominique, a.k.a. Dom (Odley Jean), as a joke. Others treat the experience as an opportunity for self-reflection,...

Move over Skins and Euphoria, Netflix’s Grand Army is joining the gritty (and hopefully not too realistic) high school show bandwagon.
Netflix has unveiled a release date and first trailer for Grand Army, an adult drama about a New York high school from playwright Katie Cappiello. Grand Army will premiere all nine of its hour-long episodes on October 16 on Netflix. Here is the aforementioned, decidedly gritty, trailer.
Oh yes, there is some Skins DNA in that bad boy. A mournful saxophone rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner over images of a dingy New York high school is what one might call a dramatic layup. But darn it all if it doesn’t work. Social issues highlighted here are of a much darker Degrassi variety, including kneeling for the anthem, rampant uncontrollable teenage sexuality, and perhaps even a school shooting or another similar crisis.
Netflix’s synopsis for the series reads:...

Playwright Katie Cappiello is teaming with “House of Cards” creator Beau Willimon to bring an adaptation of her 2013 play “Slut” to the small screen.
The show, titled “Grand Army,” is set up at Netflix with Odessa A’zion set to lead the cast.
“Grand Army” follows five students at the largest public high school in Brooklyn, who wrestle with sexual, racial and economic politics as they fight to succeed, survive, wild out, break free and ultimately “become somebody.” Cappiello has worked with young people across the country as a teacher for over 15 years, and the characters and stories in the show are inspired by her students.
A’zion (known for she starring on the CBS comedy “Fam opposite” Nina Dobrev as well as the feature film “Ladyworld” opposite Maya Hawke) will play 16-year-old junior Joey Del Marco who lives in Stuyvesant Town on the Lower East Side. The series will...

Netflix is adapting Katie Cappiello’s play Slut into a ten-part drama exec produced by Gone Girl producer Joshua Donen and House of Cards’ Beau Willimon, with Odessa A’zion, Amalia Yoo, Maliq Johnson, Amir Bageria and Odley Jean set to star.
The series, which will be known as Grand Army, is based on the 2013 play which follows the journey of 16-year old Joey Del Marco, who is sexually assaulted by three life-long friends during a Friday night out. Inspired by the experiences of New York City teens, it tells the story through Joey and her friends and community. The play was called “truthful, raw and immediate” by Gloria Steinem.
A’zion plays Del Marco in the drama, which follows five students at the largest public high school in Brooklyn as they wrestle with sexual, racial and economic politics. It will air in 2020.

After delivering one of the finest dramas of its respective year with Love is Strange, writer-director Ira Sachs is back with Little Men. Premiering to much acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, it centers on the relationship of two boys and how it becomes complicated when their parents get into a business disagreement. Ahead of a release this August, Magnolia Pictures has now unveiled the first trailer and poster.
We said in our review “Little Men could have been so much more if its perspective leaned towards the opposite direction. Why a story dealing heavily with gentrification and unfair leasing practice devotes more time to the gentrifiers than the displaced is a mystery to me. It might be more “challenging” in terms of audience sympathy, but it’s not as though the movie does all that much to make them sympathetic. Greg Kinnear’s Brian may be...
