Minority Mindset

The concept for *The Moment* began as a voice memo Charli sent to Zamiri while she was on tour. Zamiri described it as a raw expression of her current emotions to *VF*, unknowingly echoing the title of Charli’s 2020 album, *How I’m Feeling Now*. He explained it captured the feeling of almost achieving everything she wanted and the emotional impact of that realization. Zamiri and Bertie Brandes then developed the screenplay based on Charli’s voice memo, receiving her feedback as she continued touring. Charli herself admitted she struggles to reflect on things objectively because she’s always focused on the next project. She sees her work as a way to process her own thoughts and feelings, constantly writing about herself and how others perceive her – a cycle she calls ‘meta.’

Andy and Barbara Muschietti, the creators behind the ‘It’ movies and HBO series, are planning to continue the story with additional seasons of ‘Welcome to Derry’.

Sandra Bullock, 61, and Nicole Kidman have been friends for years, and their close bond likely played a role in their decision to make a sequel to *Practical Magic*. Kidman recently told Vogue that working with Bullock was a “joyful” experience. Bullock, in a note shared with the article’s author, playfully noted that both she and Kidman were raised to be strong, independent women.

Stephen King has consistently been a bestselling author since his first published work in 1974. Many of his books have been turned into successful movies and TV shows, including the 2017 film *It*, which became the highest-grossing horror movie ever, earning over $704 million worldwide. Because of this success, King is a firmly established icon in popular culture. It’s important for both book and film fans to experience his stories while they still can.

Even though “After You” covered about 30 years, the show used young actors for flashbacks featuring Lester and Mabel. The other residents of the Arconia were played by the same actors throughout the episode, using wigs and visual effects to make them look younger. Most of these actors had clear changes to their appearance, especially their hair, but Nicky surprisingly didn’t seem to age much – he just had slightly grayer hair in later scenes. It’s easy to think this is an oversight, but Nicky isn’t the only character who doesn’t appear to age; Sebastian “Bash” Steed also maintains a remarkably consistent look.

In a recent interview on the *Phase Hero* podcast, Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming, television, and animation at Marvel Studios, hinted that Krysten Ritter will reprise her role as Jessica Jones again, beyond just appearing in Season 2 of *Daredevil: Born Again*. When host Brandon Davies asked about a possible *Jessica Jones: Born Again* series, Winderbaum suggested it could happen “sooner than you think.”
