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.

Stephen Colbert's cancellation is making Democrats furious!
Why is the Democratic Party so furious about Stephen Colbert's cancelation? That's a question I've been asking myself all week, ever since we learned that the late-night host is losing his show, after CBS decided that $40 million in losses each year is too high a price to pay. This really shouldn't come as much of a surprise to people: It's hard out there for large traditional television organizations. They now face all sorts of competition from streaming and social media, from independent people who are, in some cases, a lot funnier than Stephen Colbert and can do what late-night hosts do for a fraction of the cost. I say there's more fun to be had on YouTube, on TikTok, on Substack, on X and elsewhere. That's how more and more people are getting their entertainment and their news — and late night is going to have to catch up. It just doesn't have the same relevancy, or pack the same punch. So ultimately, this was quite clearly a business decision. But try telling them that. Colbert is certainly acting like this is Donald Trump's fault — isn't everything. In fact, he recently swore at Trump on air, and Jon Stewart went further, singing an entire profanity-laden song about how much he hates Trump. I won't play the clip, because my very patient producers are getting sick of having to bleep every video I've requested this week, between this and Hunter Biden. Now look — even Keith Olbermann, perhaps the most relentlessly partisan, anti-Trump, anti-Republican mainstream progressive commentator on the planet, thinks this was probably just a business decision. He wrote on X: 'If they fired him to appease Trump, why are they letting him remain on the air as a lame duck, with nobody to stop him saying whatever he wants, for the next TEN MONTHS? They may have timed it to use it as a sop to Trump but this is like Phil Donahue getting cancelled.' Donahue being another former commentator, one I quite liked, who was eventually put out to pasture for business reasons. When Keith Olbermann is providing you a much-needed sanity check, you should be very, very afraid. Ultimately, I don't really blame the other late-night hosts — Stewart, Kimmel, Fallon, etc. — for showing industry solidarity with Colbert. But why are Democratic politicians also so upset about the cancelation? And trust me, they are furious. Rep. Ted Lieu is actually circulating a petition telling CBS not to cancel Colbert. Doesn't he have more important things to do, possibly on behalf of his constituents? Sen. Bernie Sanders weighed in as well. Bernie writes on X: 'CBS's billionaire owners pay Trump $16 million to settle a bogus lawsuit while trying to sell the network to Skydance. Stephen Colbert, an extraordinary talent and the most popular late night host, slams the deal. Days later, he's fired. Do I think this is a coincidence? NO.' Again, he has no evidence whatsoever that this was anything other than a business decision. The show was a huge money loser! I know Bernie isn't a huge fan of capitalism, but generally, when you're losing tons of money, the business pivots. Perhaps under democratic socialism, we'd have subsidized terrible political comedy? And of course Sen. Elizabeth Warren is equally outraged. Seriously, she won't stop tweeting about this. Does anyone think for a minute that various Democratic politicians would be furious if a conservative news channel canceled a conservative show? Or even if a show like the one you're watching right now, 'Rising,' got axed? We speak to perspectives all over the place. I doubt it would matter to most Democratic officials, except maybe to a few friends of the program who've enjoyed being interviewed here. No, the reason the end of Colbert is so infuriating is because the Democratic Party likes the content: And the content of Colbert was reliably anti-Trump. It just wasn't very funny.

The VTuber world is in crisis over ‘owed' donations
On July 21st, 6,669-year-old demon queen Ironmouse, posted an 11-minute video explaining that she is leaving her talent management agency, VShojo. Ironmouse is a VTuber, or 'virtual YouTuber' — a type of a streamer who doesn't typically show their human face, instead creating elaborate digital personas to create content. 'I recently found out that for the past couple of months, I have been misled by VShojo,' she said, breathily, in her video. 'I believe that I am owed a significant amount of funds which I have not been paid.' With her pink hair, purple eyes, and horns, Ironmouse is one of Twitch's biggest streamers. She currently has over 2.3 million followers on Twitch, and 1.3 million subscribers on YouTube. In 2023, she won a Game Award for content creator of the year. A year later, she would briefly overtake Kai Cenat as the most subscribed to Twitch streamer with over 300,000 subs. Her VTuber colleagues at VShojo have follower counts in the hundreds of thousands across Twitch and YouTube. Now, in the aftermath of Ironmouse's video, most of them have also quit the company, with some of them alleging unpaid wages. According to Ironmouse, her trouble with VShojo started with the conclusion of her 2024 subscription marathon on Twitch. During the event, Ironmouse raised over $500,000 for the Immune Deficiency Foundation, a cause she explained was important to her as she — the real person behind the Ironmouse persona — suffers from common variable immunodeficiency or CVID. The Verge has reached out to VShojo, Ironmouse, and the Immune Deficiency Foundation for comment. 'Because the money came from my Twitch revenue,' Ironmouse said in her video, 'It required VShojo to make the donation on my behalf.' She claims this has not been done and that's why she's decided to leave VShojo: 'And most importantly, the thing that hurts me the most is that the Immune Deficiency Foundation, which is the most important charity to me and also the reason why I'm here today, is owed over half a million dollars from Vshojo. […] I really want to tell you everything, but unfortunately right now I have been instructed by my attorney to wait for more of the legal procedure to unfold. So one day I will be able to tell you the full story. But for now, I just need to let you know that I will no longer be a part of VShojo.' 'As of right now, I am an independent VTuber,' she said. While a creator leaving a talent agency is nothing new, especially in the world of VTubers, the scope and scale of this departure has had a serious impact on both VShojo and the wider VTuber community. In the hours after Ironmouse released her video, 12 of the 13 VTubers listed on VShojo's website have officially announced they are leaving the company. On July 22nd, Kson, a yakuza-themed VTuber with 1.3 million followers on YouTube, did a livestream in which she announced she too would be leaving the company, also alleging unpaid funds. 'And the reason why is because VShojo hasn't paid a significant amount of money to me,' she said. Most of the other members of VShojo, who said they were leaving on their livestreams and social media, would not give explicit reasons why, suggesting they aren't able to due to legal reasons. Nearly all of them expressed heartbreak related to their departure and shock at Ironmouse's treatment. 'Yes, I'm leaving VShojo,' wrote Projekt Melody on X. '[I] put my everything into this comp[any]. But I'm beyond devastated at what happened and I never in a million years thought I'd be saying these words.' When VShojo was founded in 2020, it positioned itself as 'talent first' as a way to differentiate itself from other companies that had reputations for treating talent poorly. This attracted popular VTuber talent and huge numbers of fans. VTubers operate similarly to Twitch streamers but can have extra expectations and constraints set upon them if they are corporately sponsored by talent agencies. To understand VTubers, it's best to think of them as digital Japanese pop idols. Almost every aspect of a corporate VTuber — their sponsorships, social media accounts, finances, name, and more — is owned and controlled by their agency. In most circumstances, if a VTuber decides to go independent, they have to leave every aspect of their persona behind including all the channels attached to that persona and start over from scratch. VShojo stood out as a company because its clients were not beholden to those terms. 'I'm actually shocked,' said Biggles, an artist and independent Vtuber who told The Verge she's been a fan of VShojo talent since the company's beginning. 'VShojo was a dream for many.' Ironmouse's dream for the Immune Deficiency Foundation lives on however. After posting her announcement video as her usual persona, she initiated a donation drive to replace the allegedly unpaid funds. Through her community, her former Vshojo colleagues, and their communities, they've raised almost $1 from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.

Simone Ashley and Pauline Chalamet Film ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2'
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is currently filming in New York City, which means fans and paparazzi have been around much every single shoot that takes place in public. And so far there are a lot—like, to the point where multiple looks of Anne Hathaways have already been leaked. But on top of Anne (and Meryl Streep!) being spotted filming the highly anticipated sequel, The Devil Wears Prada newcomers Simone Ashley and Pauline Chalamet were just seen on set by fans. Obsessed! And here's a closer look at Simone Ashley's dress, which appears to be the Harness Tapestry Dress by Monse (FYI Taylor Swift wore a similar one to the VMAS). Discover our alien UFO print, inspired by the iconic sci-fi films of the 1950s. This nostalgic design adds a playful yet sophisticated twist to your wardrobe, blending vintage charm with modern flair. Perfect for making a statement wherever you go! According to Variety, The Devil Wears Prada 2 follows Miranda Priestly "as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and as she faces off against Blunt's character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs." Other new additions to the cast include Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Helen J. Shen, Conrad Ricamora, Caleb Hearon, and Kenneth Branagh. No info yet on Simone and Pauline's roles (they were cast in early July so this is all very new), but judging from their characters fashionable fits they appear to be Runway adjacent. Meanwhile, Anne Hathaway spoke about rebooting The Devil Wears Prada and The Princess Diaries with WWD, saying "I was so beautifully cared for on both of those films. I was a baby, like a legal child, when I made Princess Diaries — I turned 18 while we were making it, and I was a very, very young woman when I made Devil Wears Prada. I was so guided and looked after and cared for by the communities that made both of those films in particular, each of their directors, Garry Marshall and David Frankel. I'm so excited that now I can do that for other people, that now I have the knowledge and the experience and the confidence to take care of other people on sets in which I'm looked at as a leader."
