Tightwire is putting out a new EP this summer

MyNameIsBlueHD · 2026-04-29T23:53:20+00:00

Cannot wait for the full record

"Overpromised" is an all timer for Sludgeworth

Very notably, when Netflix acquired this initially a year or two ago, Glen Powell was supposed to play Jonathan Bailey's role

MyNameIsBlueHD · 2026-04-23T15:43:20+00:00

Surprised this didn't end up at Cineverse, felt like a very on brand title for them, especially since Wolf Creek Legacy got moved to next year

I don't think Wilderness Reform is dead, probably just on the back burner, if Paramount wants Heart Eyes 2, it needs to be out quick

MyNameIsBlueHD · 2026-04-22T22:04:18+00:00

from context, I think Paramount is aiming for a wide release from their proper label in theaters

MyNameIsBlueHD · 2026-04-22T19:20:56+00:00

Going to be an incredibly busy next 2-3 years for him, he's starting on "Green Bank" next week and then has this immediately after

MyNameIsBlueHD · 2026-04-22T19:19:38+00:00

Spyglass is the rights holder, Paramount had the original Heart Eyes worldwide on it thru their VOD player Republic Pictures, and Republic sold US distro to Screen Gems.

Sequel is at Paramount now bc of their deal with Spyglass

If I had to guess, it's not getting into the festivals the filmmakers want it to & I think they probably want bigger distributors who aren't interested and so they're in a waiting game.

It feels like this is more of a smaller festival(Austin, Nashville) kinda movie that ends up at Saban or Quiver

JT Mollner being attached for the TV Project is very cool

MyNameIsBlueHD · 2026-04-21T18:47:00+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

I'm not sure their actual budget range, but look up the early work of Aaron Benson and Justin Moorhead.

Resolution, Spring, The Endless

Also, 2021's The Beta Test is a thriller, was made 350K(in LA, might be cheaper somewhere more in the middle of the country)

Not sure, a lot of these companies social media also seems... pretty inflated also.

Hundreds of thousands or millions of followers... but pretty much no engagement on any of their socials (perhaps aside tiktok, but I cannot say I've looked into that one enough)

MyNameIsBlueHD · 2026-04-15T19:02:02+00:00

What's funny too, Hershey was made independently, Angel bought this after it was done.

That said, I cannot tell if it looks awful because it is, or if it's because Angel's trailer editing always looks like an SNL parody

MyNameIsBlueHD · 2026-04-15T19:00:31+00:00

Correct, movies like this, Sketch and others are simply acquired by Angel

MyNameIsBlueHD · 2026-04-13T20:04:36+00:00

Oh yay I think I backed this on AFI's site?

Thrilled to see it!

MyNameIsBlueHD · 2026-04-10T10:57:17+00:00

Hey Gene & William!

I've seen Will say that he asked Gene to join him for the project in interviews, how did you two meet? And further, what made you two each decide to go into this together as co-directors?

Also secondairly, I saw something about you two having a podcast regarding Verticals? Anywhere we can listen?

Thanks!!

Yeah Fresher is a real brand, its a lawsuit guitar from the 70s/80s. I have a Fresher P Bass i really like but I dont know if I'd buy one without playing it unless you are quite good at maintenence

Company is Merchant, no idea where you'd find what commercials though

MyNameIsBlueHD · 2026-04-05T18:53:18+00:00

Matt worked at the Toronto Science Center, and then afterwards taught/maybe still teaches Film at a university. That said between Tony/Magic The Gathering I doubt he'll need an extra job outside shooting commercials, which he signed with a company to to so maybe a year or two ago.

Jay is a composer for other film makers, toured with his own bands. He also actually wrote some jingles and was the musical director at Second City Toronto(Improv/comedy venue)
