[This story contains spoilers for Willow episode four, “The Whispers of Nockmaar.”]

Tony Revolori never imagined that he’d be playing a prince in the Willow-verse, but he’s certainly here for it.

In Willow, the legacy sequel series to Ron Howard’s 1988 film, the California native plays Graydon, the unconventional prince who’s betrothed to Princess Kit (Ruby Cruz), the daughter of legacy characters Madmartigan (Val Kilmer) and Sorsha (Joanne Whalley). But instead of playing the dashing and courageous prince that has dominated most fantasy stories, Revolori’s character is intelligent and sensitive, often serving as the show’s “group therapist.”

However, in episode four, Graydon’s murky past begins to unveil itself as a flashback revealed that a young Graydon, while possessed by a malevolent force, murdered his older brother. To pull off this sequence, the series cast Revolori’s own brothers, Mario and Benjamin.

1983’s Valley Girl was one of a myriad of teen movies that decade that mixed wish-fulfilment and star-crossed lovers to riff on the old Romeo and Juliet premise. And whilst the film featured a career-defining role from Nicolas Cage as one half of the lovers at the centre of the film, the movie has – in the years since – seemingly fallen out of favour with both those that lived through that decade of cinema and those who look back on those films with a fondness, be it an ironic fondness or not.

Originally slated for release in 2018, this Valley Girl was set to follow hot on the heels of the remake of Adventures in Babysitting, another remake of an 80s favourite. A few...

"It's just me and you." Orion has debuted the first official trailer for a new updated musical remake of the 80s comedy Valley Girl, this time directed by filmmaker Rachel Lee Goldenberg.

The film also stars Jessie Ennis, Ashleigh Murray, Chloe Bennet, Logan Paul, Mae Whitman, Mario Revolori, Rob Huebel, Judy Greer, Camila Morrone, and with Alicia Silverstone. Set to a rock 'n roll '80s soundtrack produced by legendary Harvey Mason, Jr. with dance numbers by choreographer Mandy Moore, Valley Girl...
