Light cycles, a Trent Reznor score and nostalgia couldn’t save Tron: Ares from a dim debut. @richardrushfield and @theseanmac explain what went wrong, who showed up, and why the film’s stumble says more about the industry than fans: theankler.com/p/richard-and-…
Bradley Cooper plays a guy named Balls…and might just land an Oscar nod for it. Is This Thing On? isn’t a grand swing like Maestro, but @chrisjrosen thinks its warmth and restraint could make this Cooper’s most likable film yet theankler.com/p/bradley-coop…


Hulu wants more “MomTok” chaos. Fox is reviving Fear Factor. Netflix is making Monopoly a game show. @elainelow charts the strange, crowded new era of unscripted TV and why agents say it’s all about who can yell the loudest theankler.com/p/outpitch-out…

When Timothée Chalamet said he was “in pursuit of greatness,” he might as well have been previewing Marty Supreme. In Josh Safdie’s new film, the actor channels that ambition into a volatile, mesmerizing performance that’s already shaping the Oscar race: theankler.com/p/timothee-cha…


As promised, for @theankler, we have part II of our @openAI series, this one focused on the devastating impact of Sora 2 to Hollywood, and @WME's historical revolt against it. theankler.com/p/sora-2-and-t…
Sora 2 let anyone generate performances with real actors’ faces unless they opted out. WME said enough and OpenAI blinked. @ebarmack lays out the next steps in Hollywood's fight: theankler.com/p/sora-2-and-t…




.@richardrushfield asks: has Hollywood developed a death wish? The town shrugs as Paramount and Warners edge toward merging, potentially gutting the business and hand even more control to power players tied to the White House. The silence may prove fatal: theankler.com/p/hollywoods-d…



.@Snoodit joins The Ankler Podcast to unpack her list of the 10 most influential showrunners. She explores how Quinta Brunson’s Abbott Elementary helped revive the mockumentary format and prove broadcast can still mint new stars: theankler.com/p/10-showrunne…
Creators have already conquered YouTube. Now they’re eyeing the living room. @natjarv reports how MrBeast, Dhar Mann, and others are launching FAST (free ad-supported TV) channels to grow their brands and what dealmakers say about the real money behind it theankler.com/p/fast-times-a…


This week for @TheAnkler: Who are the showrunners on top right now, the ones who are churning out hits and defining the marketplace? The influencers right now? I polled *a lot* of industry insiders to get their honest take. theankler.com/p/10-showrunne…
Who’s setting the tone for TV now? @Snoodit polled agents, execs and insiders to find the 10 showrunners defining TV’s business and culture theankler.com/p/10-showrunne…

The “GPT-5 pass” has gone from curiosity to mandate. Scripts, trailers, pitch decks are all being filtered through an AI model that remembers every draft and forgets what originality looks like. @ebarmack on Hollywood’s uneasy reset: theankler.com/p/run-it-throu…


Mary Bronstein joins Katey Rich to talk about If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, the challenges of writing a woman who doesn’t behave the way audiences expect, and how A24 let her craft the exact film she set out to make theankler.com/p/if-i-had-leg…
