When Tom Hanks has been signed on to a project and the film is an adaptation of a bestselling book that almost overnight became a worldwide sensation, very little could go wrong outside the scope of production. However, in the case of Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons, the scandal that unfolded behind the scenes presented an entirely different scenario.

This time, it was not the studio execs who ruined a perfectly good script with unnecessary notes or censorship. It was the Church itself that descended upon the filmmakers and defended its institution from the outrageous, blasphemous fictional novel about a fictional man obsessed with symbols and adventures.

Exclusive: UK drama schools are to be put in the spotlight in a documentary feature film that promises to pull the curtain back on their “toxic culture.”
Tread The Boards premiered at the BAFTA qualifying Rhode Island International Film Festival last week and features interviews with former students from prestigious British schools.
Billed as a cross between Cheer and Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons, the film is directed by Katie Gibson, a former actress who attended London’s ArtsEd drama school, which boasts Andrew Lloyd Webber as its president.
Gibson told Deadline that she experienced bullying and a sexualized culture during her time at ArtsEd and started making the film after a 2021 barrister-led investigation into the school.
Gibson said she left ArtsEd as a “shell” of her former self and, after speaking to other graduates, she realized that they had similar experiences at their own schools.
“It’s a secret world behind a curtain.

This was supposed to be the first “business as usual” summer movie season after Covid. Then the WGA strike came.
The Hollywood writers’ strike effects on TV were swift and obvious, like the shuttering of late-night television. The effects on the movies could play out over a far longer timetable, insidiously bleeding an already wounded industry.
Everyone agrees, with a few specific exceptions, that moviegoers returning to theaters won’t see the strike. “The movies for 2023 and 2024 have pretty much been written. In many cases, they’ve already been filmed,” AMC CEO Adam Aron noted Friday on his company’s quarterly earnings call with analysts. He was just the latest in a string of executives to reassure Wall Street of the strike’s limited impact.
