What Happened
The entertainment industry is abuzz with the latest developments in film and television. From the world premiere of "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" at SXSW to the departure of Marco Grazzini from the Netflix series "Virgin River", there's no shortage of news to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
"Ready or Not 2" is the highly anticipated sequel to the 2019 horror hit, and it's already making waves with its garishly booby-trapped and winkingly clever-dumb good time. The film's world premiere at SXSW left audiences screaming and gasping, with star Kathryn Newton yelling "Let's go!" before the lights went down.
Meanwhile, Marco Grazzini is leaving "Virgin River" after six seasons to enter a "new chapter" in his career. The actor, who plays Mike Valenzuela, is departing the Netflix drama after Season 7. "Character departures are very common in this business—especially on a long-running and beloved series like Virgin River," Grazzini said in a statement.
Why It Matters
The WGA staff union's potential picket of AMPTP talks is also making headlines. The Writers Guild of America West has sweetened its offer to the 110-member staff union, which has been on strike since mid-February. However, with only a couple of days left before the WGA begins its negotiations with the major studios on a new Minimum Basic Agreement, the two sides have still not resolved their differences.
What Experts Say
Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick's meta comedy horror "Family Movie" drew massive laughs at its SXSW debut. The family affair, which features the proud parents taking on roles as both co-directors and actors, received massive applause from the audience.
