USC introduced a course focused on Sinners.

I kept telling over and over how this movie will be studied in film schools but didn’t even expect this soon!

How did Sinners happen? What is its significance—as a blockbuster, a vampire movie, a musical, a chronicle of race and culture in the US over time? What can it tell us about motion picture production today? What can it tell us about culture as such? To get at these questions, this colloquium will center on interviews with both craftspeople and studio executives—many USC alums; readings in creative industry discourse, genre, and racial history; and screenings of crucial films that influenced the project or that might provide context.

Don’t worry everyone X-files is still happening.

Himesh Patel, one of the two lead stars of Ryan Coogler's The X-Files reboot, divulged a major filming update about the upcoming series.

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor revealed that he's now in Vancouver to film the pilot for The X-Files. Not much is actually known about the reboot, and Patel isn't even allowed to spoil whether his character is more like Fox Mulder or Dana Scully from the original series.
However, he did say that when the cast arrived on set, photos were taken of everyone and hung up outside Coogler's office, then they all had to "define ourselves as skeptics or believers." Patel wrote down that he's a "believer—but only one time out of 10." The insinuation that he's mostly a skeptic aligns with Scully.

“There’s a wall just outside Ryan’s office, and they took Polaroids of all of us, and we had to define ourselves as skeptics or believers. I wrote that I’m a believer — but only one time out of 10.”

‘Creed’ Universe TV Series ‘Delphi’ Ordered By Amazon With Michael B. Jordan Executive Producing

For the first time, a TV show is in production based in the universe of Rocky and Creed. Naturally it follows a bunch of boxers. (It’d be kind of cool is a Rocky/Creed TV show was about, like, a group of rodeo clowns. Gotta keep the audience on their toes!) The show, titled Delphi, is now in production and takes place in the gym frequented by Adonis Creed, Michael B. Jordan’s character from the three Creed films.

While Jordan himself is only an executive producer and not a star on the series, his character’s trainer, Little Duke (played by Wood Harris), will recur on the series. Duke is the son of Duke Evers, the trainer of Adonis’ father, Apollo Creed, and the owner of Delphi Academy, from the original Rocky movies.
