TV networks have long known the value of exclusive contracts for their stars. Networks that invest millions in developing and promoting a show don’t want to see the lead actor show up in another series on a rival network.
But in the streaming era, those exclusivity deals have become a major concern for actors. TV seasons have far fewer episodes than they did a decade ago, and there are often longer breaks between seasons. So actors often find themselves forced out of work for extended periods while they wait to hear whether their show has been picked up for another season.
The state of California is considering a bill that would up-end that arrangement. The bill, Ab 437, would bar exclusivity agreements for actors. If it passed, the stars of “Stranger Things” could show up on “Euphoria,” so long as the production schedules don’t overlap.

Art imitating life, in the case of Psych crime solver Carlton Lassiter, has profoundly moved series vet Timothy Omundson.
Omundson suffered a major stroke in April 2017, just as production on the original Psych: The Movie was getting underway; as such, Lassiter only appears via a brief FaceTime call with Juliet. In 2020, Psych 2: Lassie Come Home, as its title suggested, brought Omundson back to a greater degree, pinning the central mystery on the shooting of Lassiter, who then also suffered a stroke from which he started to recover throughout the TV-movie.

A spinoff of the USA Network detective comedy “Psych” and a sequel to “Psych: The Movie” and “Psych 2: Lassie Come Home,” the new film will see fake-psychic detective Shawn Spencer (James Roday Rodriguez) and his friend and partner Burton “Gus” Guster (Dulé Hill) investigate the double life and estranged husband of Gus’ fiancée Selene (Jazmyn Simon). They work the case while preparing for Gus’ shotgun wedding and new baby, as Chief Charlton Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) grapples with the future of his career.
In a new trailer, which you can watch below, Shawn and Gus reprise their old bits and catchphrases — knocking on doors and using fake names to question people, working in costume and telling each other to “suck it.”

At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, a time when accomplishing even the simplest tasks had taken on the burden of the impossible, Netflix’s “secret pandemic movie,” Malcolm & Marie, became a way to process a year of stalled projects and compromised creative control. A Deadline feature retraced how Zendaya, one half of the two-hander’s cast, reached out to Euphoria creator Sam Levinson with the plea for a self-contained project when Covid delayed the HBO drama’s new season.
As Levinson rushed to write a script based loosely on his own experiences of failing to thank his wife at a movie premiere, he and Zendaya brought on Tenet star John David Washington for a movie at the complete opposite end of the spectrum from Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster; the Euphoria crew, in a Covid bubble in California, were able to keep working for a few weeks in June...

Not all films complete stopped shooting last year when the Coronavirus pandemic hit. In fact, one particular flick managed to actually get produced during this pause in Hollywood. The movie in question? Locked Down (formerly known as Lockdown). Shot back in October under obviously strict Covid protocols, Doug Liman and his cast did what may have otherwise seemed impossible. Now, the wisdom in making a film about a mandatory lockdown during, you know, a mandatory lockdown, remains to be seen. At the same time, Liman assembled a hell of a cast, led by Chiwetel Ejiofor and Anne Hathaway. So, the ingredients are there. Hitting HBO Max in ten days, we’ll be able to see it soon. In the meantime, a Trailer has dropped, which you can scope out below… The movie is a mix of the heist genre and romantic comedy. The official plot synopsis is as follows: “Just as they decide to separate,...

HBO Max has unveiled the first trailer for Doug Liman’s quarantine-shot movie “Locked Down,” starring Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
The trailer introduces Linda (Hathaway) and Paxton (Ejiofor), a London-based couple planning to break up just before the coronavirus lockdown. Forced to quarantine for two weeks, they have no choice but to navigate their relationship, as they search for a light at the end of the tunnel.
While figuring out their living situation, the couple also faces challenges in their professional lives. “I’ve been furloughed. Now there’s literally zero purpose to my life,” Ejiofor says in the trailer.
Hathaway, on the other hand, hosts a video call during which she lays off her employees. “The nice people that I fired? They were fired because of me,” she says to Ejiofor.
The film also features Stephen Merchant, Mindy Kaling, Lucy Boynton, Dulé Hill, Jazmyn Simon, Ben Stiller and Ben Kingsley,...

Like “Songbird” before it, “Locked Down” with Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor is another movie shot during the Covid-19 pandemic that tries to capture the moment of living in quarantine on film. So how did this couple decide to spend their time while stuck at home? By stealing a priceless diamond.
The first trailer for “Locked Down,” a heist movie and romance starring Hathaway and Ejiofor and directed by “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” director Doug Liman, shows a more human level drama about people coping with the harsh economic and emotional realities of being in a pandemic. Ejiofor has just been furloughed and Hathaway plays a contractor whose job it is to fire people at other companies.

HBO Max has released the first official trailer for “Locked Down,” a new quarantine-shot film starring Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor from “The Bourne Identity” director Dough Liman.
