Gossip Girl

Sono a un nuovo rewatch e non dovrebbe sorprendermi ma MI SORPRENDE LO STESSO quanto sia scema la terza stagione.

Vulture has confirmed that the coronavirus pandemic has delayed Gossip Girl 2.0, meaning that the show's release date is currently unclear. HBO Max chief content officer Kevin Reilly told the site, "They hadn’t even started production yet; they were in pre-production and ready to roll." Basically, it's going to be 2021 at least before we see the show.
(...) Actress and musician Emily Alyn Lind will play a lead role in the Gossip Girl reboot, Deadline reported in March 2020. She'll portray Audrey, who "has been in a long term relationship and is beginning to wonder what more could be out there," per the outlet. Further details about her character, and the rest of the cast, remain in the dark for now.

(...) Who else has been cast in the reboot?
In addition to Lind, the new cast will include Whitney Peak, Eli Brown, Johnathan Fernandez, and Jason Gotay, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Though details about their characters haven't been released, here's a bit about the new actors who have joined the cast.

In addition to Lind, the new cast will include Whitney Peak, Eli Brown, Johnathan Fernandez, and Jason Gotay, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Though details about their characters haven't been released, here's a bit about the new actors who have joined the cast. Peak played Judith Blackwood in several episodes of Part 3 of Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. The 17-year-old was born in Uganda and has had small roles in the Academy Award–nominated film Molly's Game and the CW's iZombie.

Brown, 19, is best known for playing Dylan Walker on Freeform's Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists. The actor has two films coming up, The F**k-It List and Run Hide Fight, and is also a singer-songwriter.

At 30, Gotay is older than some of the other newbie cast members, but he also brings a lot more experience. The NYC native boasts a bevy of Broadway credits, including roles in Bring It On and Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, as well as a turn in the TV broadcast of Peter Pan Live!

There's also Fernandez. The 46-year-old Brooklyn-born actor is fresh off a three-season stint on Lethal Weapon, on which he played Bernard Scorsese; he has also appeared on Girls, Younger, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

Deadline also reported that four new fresh faces have joined the cast: Thomas Doherty, Zion Moreno, Adam Chanler-Berat, and Tavi Gevinson.

You might recognize Doherty from Disney's Descendants, HBO's Catherine the Great, or Hulu's High Fidelity. He's also a singer, so make of that what you will.

Moreno has appeared on TNT's Claws. She began her career as a model when she was 19 years old before ultimately transitioning into acting.

Chanler-Berat has a thorough background onstage, originating roles like Henry in Next to Normal, Peter in Peter and the Starcatcher, and Nino in Amélie.

Finally, Rookie founder and fashion darling Gevinson has had guest-recurring roles on shows like Scream Queens and CBS's reboot of The Twilight Zone.

(...)Schwartz told E! News that the prospect of having a group of adults being controlled by a gossip website wouldn't "make a lot of sense." Instead, he thinks it would be more interesting to highlight "this idea that we are all Gossip Girl now, in our own way, that we are all purveyors of our own social media surveillance state."

(..) Safran also told Vulture that the new storyline will better reflect the diversity of youth in New York City (even if it the series still is still set amongst Manhattan's elite), with "nonwhite" lead roles and "a lot of queer content."
(...) "I was like, you know what, I'd like to do some things we were unable to do the first time around," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "And that's what kept me up at night — a more inclusive show, a more queer show, looking at how social media has changed in the 12 years since the original Gossip Girl — and then I couldn't get that out of my head. There is actually a very different concept this time around, but we're not telling you. And that made me be like,'sure, it's 10 episodes. Maybe that's all it'll be, but I'm really glad to look at it in a new way. It's different than most reboots."

Eric Daman, who designed the costumes for the original Gossip Girl series, is returning to dress the reboot. "The casting is looking really awesome and it's surreal to be invited to be a part of it," he told Fashionista. "I think it's gonna be exciting — it's definitely going to be a challenge, which I love."

Details of the Gossip Girl reboot are being closely guarded, and even new members of the cast aren't cracking. But in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, actor Eli Brown opened up slightly about who he's playing on the show, saying, "We've been asked to keep even the very little information that we have pretty secretive, but I can tell you that my character's a really good guy. He comes from a very wealthy family and he's a humanitarian."

Unlike Lind's casting, no character details about the four actors have been provided. However, the outlet says the reboot is said to follow "a similar character dynamic to the original, with Peak, Brown and Lind as the leading trio and Fernandez and Gotay as members of the core ensemble."

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Safran explained that he thinks of the reboot of Gossip Girl in relation to the original series as "like the Marvel universe. It's not a continuation or a sequel. It truly just is looking at a different angle."

In regards to the original cast, he said, "I would love for everyone to come back if they wanted to. The universe still exists. The characters talk about Serena, Blair, Chuck, Dan." When pressed about whether Badgley would return as Dan Humphrey, Safran responded, "I don't know, I hope so," adding, "Now that you've said it, I want it to."


"Not everyone lives on the Upper East Side, though," Safran told ET when explaining the new show's vision. "Brooklyn's not the bad place to live. Brooklyn’s probably cooler in the new version than Manhattan, 'cause it is in some places [in real life]. Other than that, it has the DNA of the original." As for how controversial the series will get, no matter the borough? Safran admitted to the outlet, "Luckily, we'll be airing post-Euphoria, so anything we do will seem tame by comparison. I don't think we'll be that controversial."

poi si vestano così normali/omologati

piuttosto mi chiedo cosa siano le cose che non sono riusciti a fare la prima volta e chi l’avrebbe impedito; la prima idea sarebbe la rete ma sulla CW andavano in onda robe (sicuramente 90210) che hanno affrontato cose che GG manco nominava

vogliamo parlare della festa all'ambasciata (mi pare) coi capelli pettinati con la schiuma? Orrore vero.

Tra l'altro Nelly Yuki veniva a sostituire la minion asiatica che poi lasciò lo show per fare l'università, non so di nulla che gridi TOKENISM in modo così spudorato
