Hi.
Marvel Studios is currently casting for “a male actor to voice a CGI character” in ‘FANTASTIC FOUR’. This could potentially be for the role of H.E.R.B.I.E 🤖. (via: @DanielRPK)

I pushed hard to make this happen. The marketing team had planned basically the exact opposite of this idea for the shoot. Even after seeing how they turned out they didn’t want the photos released, and I truly had to beg them to let @serafinowicz & me post on our own socials.
If anybody's having a bad day, here's that time Peter Serafinowicz & Griffin Newman did a photo shoot as Tick & Arthur and only posed in the style of prom pictures.

Unbelievably stupid decision on the part of @VanityFair.
As you can hear on the latest episode, today’s Little Gold Men is my last, and I am no longer working for Vanity Fair. This was not my decision and I am heartbroken, as I have been since November, when I was first added to Condé Nast management’s proposed layoff list.

I get headhunting phone calls from people looking to hire *this* Griffin Newman, who also lives in NYC, maybe once a month? . Back in the day he used to fwd me casting request emails for student films and basement comedy shows. We’ve still never actually met.
We advance great talent to the next level of their careers and provide the resources and mentorship to help them get there. Hear from Griffin Newman about how Point72 invested in his growth from Analyst to Portfolio Manager:

The fate of theatrically .-released studio comedies may largely rest on the box office performance of this ONE fucking movie. It’s basically the Bill & Ted history class presentation, but to prevent a future of nothing but action “comedies” starring superheroes and/or wrestlers.
I cannot express how excited I am to see a new comedy that could've been made in 1988. Good or bad or awful, I welcome the return of high concept comedies.

Holy shit.
Today I learned why all THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS sequels have such randomly weird titles: when Neal Moritz negotiated the right to use the title of his 1954 film, Roger Corman retained the sole rights to use any numerically-progressing sequel titles

Relieved to see that A.I. is still incapable of processing how much time we would actually waste taking about nonsense before even saying the *title* of the movie.

Agree with all this and would like to add that I no longer know how to behave in private either.
The social isolation most of us experienced in 2020 was absolutely necessary, but there's no denying that it had real psychological effects, including the fact that no one knows how to behave in public anymore.

Love that WAY OF WATER is being put out on 3D blu-ray. (The first 3D/USA release Disney has done since GOTG V2 back in 2017). Hate that of the *six* different versions that are being put out in June there's no set that includes both 4K and 3D in the same package.
