Meet the 19-year-old director who just got an A24 deal
Kane Parsons will direct the sci-fi/horror concept The Backrooms for A24, with Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve set to star.
Variety described the upcoming film as "based on the world of Parsons' viral YouTube horror universe."
So who is Parsons, you might ask? The young filmmaker describes himself on his YouTube page, Kane Pixels, as a "19 Trillion-Year-Old Director and VFX artist." He can now add A24 director to that biography.
We'll see if Parsons is the next major talent to emerge from the A24 pipeline once his first feature is complete. Early returns seem quite promising with one of the most popular distributors in the world by his side.

Cailee Spaeny Reportedly in Talks for ELDEN RING Movie, Could She Be Playing Marika? — GeekTyrant
The world of Elden Ring is heading to the big screen, and it looks like A24 may have found its first major female star. According to insider Jeff Sneider, Alien: Romulus star Cailee Spaeny is in talks to join the highly anticipated film adaptation of FromSoftware's critically acclaimed game. If a deal comes through, she would join an impressive cast that reportedly includes Kit Connor and Ben Whishaw, signaling that A24 and co-producer Bandai Namco are pulling out all the stops to bring this massive fantasy universe to life. The movie is being directed by Alex Garland, a self-professed fan of Elden Ring . Garland's involvement has fueled excitement, but the addition of Spaeny would make this project even more interesting. The actress has had a rise in recent years, winning the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival and earning a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in Priscilla . She also headlined Alien: Romulus and starred in Garland's acclaimed 2024 film Civil War and the FX sci-fi series Devs . If this casting happens, it marks another big collaboration between the two. Alongside Garland in the director's chair, the film is being produced by Avi and Ari Arad , DNA Films' Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich, and Peter Rice. Then there's George R. R. Martin, who co-created the game's lore. He is attached as a producer and has publicly praised Garland's involvement. The biggest challenge is adapting Elden Ring 's sprawling, nonlinear narrative, which players uncover through exploration and cryptic lore rather than a traditional plot. So, who could Spaeny play? The fan speculation is already running wild. The most obvious candidate is Queen Marika the Eternal, the godlike ruler whose shattering of the Elden Ring kicks off the game's entire mythos. Marika's presence looms over the Lands Between, making her an essential figure in any adaptation. Other interesting options include Melina, the enigmatic maiden who guides players, or Ranni the Witch, a fan-favorite character tied to some of the game's most pivotal events. And then let's not forget Malenia, Blade of Miquella, the undefeated warrior and arguably the most iconic boss fight in the game. Of course, the movie probably won't follow the player's journey beat for beat. Given Garland's storytelling style, the film will likely zero in on a specific event from the game's history, maybe it will tell the story of Vyke the Dragonspear. It a really strong story, and if you're not familiar with it, you can read all about it here. It's the kind of tragic story arc is tailor-made for Garland's storytelling style. For now, everything remains under wraps, but the Elden Ring film is shaping up to be a massive, ambitious project with serious talent behind it.

Netflix is quietly searching for an exec to lead its video podcast efforts as it chases YouTube
Netflix is quietly searching for an exec to lead its video podcast efforts. The streamer is chasing YouTube, which has cemented itself as a video podcast titan. Podcast listening and advertising are on the rise, and media giants are investing. Netflix is quietly searching for a podcast leader as it looks to bring video pods onto the streaming platform, two people close to the company told Business Insider. Netflix had previously explored potential deals with podcasters as it sought new areas of growth, as BI first reported. The hunt for an exec to lead a video podcasting effort shows how seriously Netflix is taking the space. The streamer's interest comes as rival YouTube has cemented itself as a living-room fixture and video podcasting powerhouse. Netflix has also shown interest in creator content more broadly. "We're really excited about 'The Sidemen' and 'Pop the Balloon' and a wide variety of creators and video podcasters that might be a good fit for us, and particularly if they're doing great work and looking for different ways to connect with audiences," co-CEO Ted Sarandos said on the company's second-quarter earnings call this month. "The Sidemen" and "Pop the Balloon" are two Netflix shows that began in the creator realm. Netflix has not publicized a podcast lead job opening and declined to comment for this story. One person who had conversations with Netflix said the company wanted someone who could make video-first podcasts for a big audience. Many of today's biggest podcasts started as audio-only endeavors and later added video as audience habits changed and YouTube gained prominence. The lines between video talk shows and podcasts have increasingly blurred, and newer podcasts often now start with video in mind. It's not clear where the podcast role would sit inside Netflix. A second person who had conversations with the company said they believed it would sit in Netflix's TV and film licensing arm under Lori Conkling rather than the original content side. That could signal that Netflix might look to license existing shows, as it's done with some YouTube creators like preschool entertainer Ms. Rachel, as well as make original shows with hosts. Separate content-side hires could follow. Edison Research has charted the continued rise of podcast listening. In a new report out this week, the firm said 73% of people ages 12 and over in the US listen to or watch podcasts, up from 55% in 2020. Video is on the rise, too, with 51% of people 12 and up saying they've watched a podcast, according to Edison. Podcast advertising grew 26.4% to $2.4 billion in 2024, according to the IAB. EMARKETER projects it will top $2.5 billion in 2025. Other media heavyweights have made big moves to chase the podcast-listening audience and the advertising that can come with it. In February, Fox acquired Red Seat Ventures, which produces Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and others. Amazon paid $300 million for podcast company Wondery in 2020, The New York Times reported at the time, after snapping up audiobook company Audible in 2008.

'Wolfenstein' TV series based on games in the works: 'The story of killing Nazis is evergreen'
What a logline! A Wolfenstein TV series based on the popular video games is coming our way, and even more eye-catching is the official logline that accompanies the news. Instead of a lengthy description of what the show will be, it simply states: "The story of killing Nazis is evergreen." (Truly, no notes.) Wolfenstein is a series of shooter games that depict an alternate history. They largely focus on the character of William "B.J." Blazkowicz, a U.S. solider during World War II who goes behind enemy lines and discovers that the Nazis are using bizarre experiments and the occult in an attempt to shift the war in their favor. The first game, Castle Wolfenstein, released in 1981. The most recent installments are 2019's Wolfenstein: Youngblood and the VR release Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot. Variety first reported the news of the TV adaption, which was confirmed by the involved parties on social media. Patrick Somerville of Station Eleven and Maniac is attached as the show's creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner for Amazon MGM Studios. Also on board as EPs are Jonah Nolan, Lisa Joy, and Athena Wickham from Kilter Films, which produces Amazon's hit Fallout game-to-TV adaptation. On the gaming side, Jerk Gustafsson of Wolfenstein developer MachineGames will executive-produce alongside James Altman of Keyframe Films. A film version of Wolfenstein was previously announced back in 2012, though it never took off. It should also be noted that Amazon is fully leaning into adapting video games as high-profile series. After Fallout, the company also have its sights on Mass Effect, God of War, and Warhammer 40,000, the latter starring Henry Cavill. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
