Showtime’s satirical thriller “The Curse,” created by stars Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie and also starring Emma Stone, has exclusively shared its Emmy submission plans with Variety.
The three multi-hyphenates will have more than one chance at recognition across various categories for producing, acting, directing, writing and editing.
“The Curse” explores the tumultuous lives of a married couple (Fielder and Stone), who encounter a string of misfortunes while filming an HGTV series in New Mexico. Their challenges are compounded by a dubious “curse” and a manipulative producer (Safdie), which together threaten both the show and their relationship.

She seeks recognition for her portrayal of Whitney, the co-host of the couple’s show about eco-friendly homes. Additionally, Stone is vying for a guest comedy actress nod for...

Saban Films announced today the acquisition of worldwide rights to the upcoming comedy The 4:30 Movie, directed and written by Kevin Smith.
Set in the summer of 1986, The 4:30 Movie is a coming-of-age story about three sixteen-year-old friends who spend their Saturdays sneaking into movies at the local multiplex. But when one of the guys also invites the girl of his dreams (Siena Agudong) to see the latest comedy, each of the teens will learn something serious about life and love before the credits roll.
Set in the mobile phoneless, social media-free era of the ’80s, Smith shot The 4:30 Movie at his Smodcastle Cinemas in New Jersey—the same movie theater he haunted every weekend as a teenager. Two years ago, Smith and his co-owners saved the century-old Atlantic Highlands bijou from demolition, renaming it after his podcast theater.

Maya Hawke and Camila Mendes Pull a ‘Strangers on a Train’ in Netflix’s ‘Do Revenge’ Trailer (Video)
Netflix released the trailer for its Hitchcockian teen film “Do Revenge” on Tuesday.
The logline reads, “After a clandestine run-in, Drea and Eleanor team up to go after each other’s tormentors. ‘Do Revenge’ is a subverted Hitchcock-ian dark comedy featuring the scariest protagonists of all: teenage girls.”
Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s dark comedy follows two young women — Maya Hawke (“Stranger Things”) and Camila Mendes (“Riverdale”) — who unite to get back at each other’s bullies. Mendes plays queen bee Drea who wants revenge on her boyfriend for leaking her sex tape, and Hawke plays Eleanor, a transfer student who gets outed due to a rumor started by a girl who said Eleanor tried to make advances on her.

Equal measures irritably supercilious and demonically brilliant, our introduction to this filmmaker came via his co-writing gig: 2004’s I Heart Huckabees. Fast forward a decade later, and Jeff Baena broke into Sundance’s U.S. Dramatic section with zom rom com (short of zombie romantic comedy). Starring girlfriend Aubrey Plaza, Life After Beth wasn’t as secretive as his follow up film. Not appearing on any radars, production wrapped up on Joshy in April, so this comedy is definitely ready to go out. List of players includes: Thomas Middleditch, Adam Pally, Alex Ross Perry, Nick Kroll, Brett Gelman, Jenny Slate, Lauren Graham, Aubrey Plaza, Joe Swanberg, Kris Swanberg, Alison Brie, Paul Weitz, Brian Patrick Farrell, Jake Johnson and Frankie Shaw.
Gist: Unknown.
Production Co./Producers: Producers: Elizabeth Destro, Michael Zakin. Co-producers: Joshua Bachove, Tracey Landon, Daniel McGilvray. Executive producers: Matthew Perniciaro, Michael Sherman, Chris Swanson, Kim Leadford. Associate producers: Michael Ferraro,...
