From one of the masterminds between The Lego Movie, Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse, and both 21 & 22 Jump Street, comes a new Crime Thriller to AppleTV+ and it is an absolute delight from start to finish. The entire Series is incredible, with each character getting their moment to shine and share their version of events, all while trying to figure out who committed the ultimate crime – murder. Think if Clue were modern and a TV show, this would be it. Chris Miller knows exactly what he is doing as the Showrunner on this hilarious murderous Thriller, that fans will be heeled over laughing about.
A high school reunion afterparty ends in tragedy, although to be fair who ends up enjoying their high school reunions? Not all of them end in death though, investigated by police about what truly did happen at this afterparty? Everyone is a suspect and Detective Danner (Tiffany Haddish) has to figure out what happened as her career is practically on the line. The entire show focuses on Xavier (Dave Franco), Brett (Ike Barinholtz), Yasper (Ben Schwartz), Aniq (Sam Richardson), Chelsea (Ilana Glazer), Zoe (Zoe Chao) and Jennifer #1 (Tiya Sircar). The first three episodes focus on Aniq, Brett, and Yasper’s accounts of what happened that night, with each episode telling different accounts that has to be pieced together to find who the real killer is.
The way the show shows the different character arcs and the stories that they each show and how each character has different tales of what happened, truly shows the bigger picture and how it all pieces together. However, what we appreciate most about The Afterparty is the way each character’s story gets its own due moment and room to develop. These Cast truly get the proper opportunity to deliver their best and this is palpable as a viewer.
With comedic powerhouses such Tiffany Haddish, Ilana Glazer, Dave Franco, Ike Barinholtz and Ben Schwartz, you bet the laughs are plentiful, and the payoff even better. The Afterparty needs to be seen to be believed.
The first three episodes of THE AFTERPARTY are streaming now on Apple TV+, with the new episodes arriving every Friday.
Elevation Pictures x Mr. Will want to give Readers a chance to win Run-of-Engagement Passes to see TIFF ’17 selection, THE DISASTER ARTIST, based on Greg Sestero‘s Memoir about his experience working on Tommy Wiseau‘s Cult Classic, THE ROOM.
Synopsis:
A behind-the-scenes look at the making of Tommy Wiseau‘s The Room (2003), starring Tommy (James Franco) and his best friend, actor Greg Sestero (Dave Franco). The two met during an acting workshop, when Greg was just an aspiring actor.
Tommy takes Greg under his wing, setting him up in Los Angeles in an apartment Tommy rarely uses. While Greg soon finds an agent (Sharon Stone) and a girlfriend (Alison Brie), Tommy isn’t as lucky, so he decides to write, direct and star in his own movie, despite lacking talent in any of those areas.
The Room, made on a production budget of $6,000, was notoriously awful. It opened in two Los Angeles theaters in June 2003 and grossed a pitiful $1,200, but in a twist of fate, went on to earn a cult following, earning the dubious honor of being dubbed “the Citizen Kane of bad movies.”

TIFF ’17 continues to go amazingly-well for us, but even being at the half-way mark we’re still not done! Check out some of the amazing sightings we had today!
MARK FELT: THE MAN WHO BROUGHT DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE has all the pedigree of a winner. The Drama centers on “Deep Throat“, the man who as an anonymous source led to the Watergate Scandal investigation.

HOSTILES also premieres tonight at Princess of Wales Theatre and stars Academy Award winner Christian Bale and Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike. The Duo were out and about earlier promoting the Film and while they were private largely most of the day we were lucky to spot them amidst their hectic schedule. The Drama is about a US Cavalry Officer who accompanies reluctantly, a Cheyenne War Chief and his family back to their tribal lands. Bale is sporting a new look for his role as Dick Cheney, hence if you couldn’t recognize him, someone’s done their job good!

We loved chatting with Ari Graynor, Dave Franco and Paul Scheer about their new Film THE DISASTER ARTIST, premiering at Midnight Madness. While James Franco was to be a part of the chat, alas he was behind schedule. We did find him on the Red Carpet though where he was really giving to Media and fans! And even Rachel McAdams and Cult Icon Tommy Wiseau whom James Franco portrays, came out! You will LOVE this Film. It is hilarious! Check back towards the Holidays as our chat goes live.

Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong
The Disaster Artist chronicles Writer/Director Tommy Wiseau (James Franco) through the development, production and shocking success of the cult classic The Room.
The Film’s script could’ve become a mean mockery of Wiseau’s dream but instead it depicts an empathetic character study of him, all while being uproariously funny. It has a terrific transformative lead performance from Franco, a strong supporting cast, and many hilarious cameos. Franco becomes Wiseau in what is one of his greatest performances to date. Fans of The Room will not be disappointed with this comedic portrayal of how the beloved cult classic got made.
The Disaster Artist screens at TIFF on Sept. 11 at Ryerson Theatre at 11:59PM, and Sept. 12 at Scotiabank Theatre #1 at 6:45PM.

With filming just about to wrap in-studio for Rom-Com No Stranger Than Love in the next couple weeks, we spotted Nanaimo-born Actor Justin Chatwin in the City after a long day on-set with Co-Star Alison Brie (Mad Men, Community). The Actor known for his work in Blockbuster War of the Worlds and more recently, Showtime Series Shameless, is said to have taken a liking to amazing Thai “It Spot” Khao San Road during his stay. Despite appearing tired, Chatwin still made the effort to stay for Snaps with Fans.
Meanwhile, Brie was spotted this weekend at the Movies with said Boyfriend Dave Franco and even took-in a Blue Jays Game together this weekend. Colin Hanks whom we spotted last month, recently wrapped work on the Production.
No Stranger than Love, by Toronto Director/Writer Nick Wernham, centers on a High School Art Teacher (Brie) and married Football Coach (Hanks) who decide to have an affair, before he disappears into a hole in her Living Room.
Perhaps we’ll be seeing it at TIFF ’14?

At just 34 years of age, James Franco has achieved what many of his Peers will never accomplish in a lifetime – a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Attending the Ceremony earlier today in support of Franco were his Mother Betsy Lou, younger Brother Dave and longtime Friend Seth Rogen. Franco’s acting career began back in 1997 and ever since, we have seen a truly eclectic body of work from the Actor ranging from Action Flicks to Soap Operas to Arthouse Films.
Tomorrow sees the release of his eagerly-awaited Oz The Great and Powerful, the Prequel to The Wizard of Oz, which has him in the Titular Role. This perhaps is his biggest role yet in Career which has seen several highs. Click here to read my glowing Review!
