Synopsis:
Based on the celebrated novel by Emily M. Danforth, The Miseducation of Cameron Post follows the titular character (Moretz) as she is sent to a gay conversion therapy center after getting caught with another girl in the back seat of a car on prom night. Run by the strict and severe Dr. Lydia Marsh (Jennifer Ehle) and her brother, Reverend Rick (John Gallagher Jr.)—himself an example of how those in the program can be “cured”—the center is built upon repenting for “same sex attraction.” In the face of intolerance and denial, Cameron meets a group of fellow sinners including the amputee stoner Jane (Sasha Lane), and her friend, the Lakota Two-Spirit, Adam (Forrest Goodluck). Together, this group of teenagers form an unlikely family and fight to survive.

15-year-old Wyatt Oleff gained a huge boost in profile with international Box Office success of 2017’s IT. He reprises the role of Stanley Uris in upcoming IT: CHAPTER TWO, with his older version played by Andy Bean.

Oleff, who just celebrated his birthday last week, returned from Los Angeles to continue work on the eagerly-awaited 2019 follow-up. Co-Stars Finn Wolfhard who plays Richie and his older version, Bill Hader also returned back from the weekend. Oleff, who also was seen in Guardians of the Galaxy, was beyond nice stopping for Selfies and autographs for a few fans.

A couple weeks back, we spotted Oleff’s older Co-Stars bonding including Hader and just this weekend, they were at SPiN playing Ping Pong. McAvoy reportedly was unwell and had cancelled an appearance at San Diego Comic Con, while Bill Skarsgård who plays Pennywise the Clown, was out doing the rounds.

See our Snap with Oleff!

Amazing to meet the talented #WyattOleff, back in Toronto to continue work on #ItChapterTwo. #It #ItMovie #It2 🤡🎈

We are so proud! Toronto-filmed SHAZAM! got its first look at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend and it actually looks fun and amazing!

Synopsis:
We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Asher Dov Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Zachary Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong).

“Shazam!” also stars Jack Dylan Grazer (“IT”) as Billy’s best friend and ultimate superhero enthusiast, Freddy, part of the foster family that includes Mary, played by Grace Fulton (“Annabelle: Creation”); Darla, played by Faithe Herman (TV’s “This is Us”); Eugene, played by Ian Chen (TV’s “Fresh Off the Boat”); and Pedro, played by Jovan Armand (TV’s “Hawaii Five-O”). Cooper Andrews (TV’s “The Walking Dead”) and Marta Milans (TV’s “Killer Women”) play foster parents Victor and Rosa Vasquez, with Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou (“Blood Diamond”) as the Wizard.
