In addition to the official Betty Season 2 trailer, HBO has also released the first episode of the second season on their YouTube channel. Episode 2.01 titled “Octopussy,” was directed by Moselle from a script written by Moshe Kasher.

In the first episode, Kirt’s (Nina Moran) (probably) on a quest. Indigo’s (Ajani Russell) grocery gig isn’t cutting it. Honeybear (Moonbear) and Ash (Katerina Tannenbaum) are all in. Camille’s (Rachelle Vinberg) got flow. Winterbowl’s a bust, and Janay’s (Dede Lovelace) not here for the new guy.

Betty is set against the backdrop of New York City. It centers around a diverse group of young women navigating their lives through the predominantly male-oriented world of skateboarding. The original film’s five leads Dede Lovelace, Ajani Russell, Moonbear, Rachel Vinberg, and Nina Moran are also starring in the series as they reprise their roles as Janay, Indigo, Honeybear, Camille, and Kirt, respectively.

In Season 2, our five protagonists are stepping firmly into womanhood and tackling all the challenges it brings. As they navigate the pressures of adulthood, their male counterparts start to step up, step in, and become true allies, forming a united front for the greater good. Set in the last chapter of 2020, the season captures the pandemic in New York City, where masks and outside activities are the norm.

Betty is written and executive produced by Moselle and Arfin with Moselle also serving as the director. The original and series adaptation is based on the lead stars’ real-life all-female skate crew named Skate Kitchen.

Executive producers are Igor Srubshchik, Jason Weinberg, Michael Sherman, and Matthew Perniciaro of Bow & Arrow Entertainment along with RT Features’ Rodrigo Teixeira. Lizzie Nastro is also set as a producer along with Kotva Films’ Izabella Tzenkova. Arfin Material in partnership with Untitled Entertainment will be co-producing for HBO.

In a video shared online, DMX’s daughter performs her father’s hit single ‘Ruff Ryders’ Anthem’ at a tribute show for the late rapper.

Matthew Goodhue’s Woe follows a brother and sister who inherit their father’s house, but all is not as it seems, starring Jessie Rabideau and Adam Halferty.

Actress Sabrina Carpenter (Girl Meets World, The Hate U Give) has signed on to star in the feature adaptation of the YA novel The Distance From Me to You, from author Marina Gessner. New Line Cinema won the bidding was to produce the film for HBO Max, and Tiffany Paulsen (Nancy Drew, Holidate) is set to adapt the screenplay, and Carpenter and Danielle Fishel are executive producing.

“In the novel, two teens running from very different lives, meet and fall in love on the Appalachian trail. But what starts as a coming-of-age story of first love soon turns into a wilderness-thriller when they find themselves dangerously lost and fighting for survival.”

This sounds like it could end up being a solid story. Any interest?

I’ve got a trailer here for an interesting and spooky new horror thriller titled The Deep House. What I love about the concept of this film is that takes place in a haunted house… at the bottom of a lake. An underwater haunted house movie is a fun and unique concept.

The story follows a couple of YouTubers who are taken to the lake that the house in, and they dive down to explore it. As expected, things go horribly wrong, and this cool experience turns into a scary nightmare.

The synopsis reads, “While diving in a remote french lake, a couple of YouTubers who specialize in underwater exploration videos discover a house submerged in deep waters. What was initially a unique finding soon turns into a nightmare when they understand the house was the scene of atrocious crimes. Trapped, with their oxygen reserves falling dangerously, Tina and Ben realize the worst is yet to come: they are not alone in the house.”

The movie was written and directed by Inside and Leatherface filmmakers Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo, and it stars James Jagger and Camille Rowe.

There’s no word on when The Deep House will be released in the U.S. but it will open in France on June 30, 2021.

We may be en route to a million and one software reveals next week at E3 2021, but Taito has decided to show off a new piece of hardware. Or rather, a new take on an old piece of hardware.

The Taito EGRET II Mini comes hot on the heels of Sega’s somewhat similar-looking Astro City Mini machine and gives people with tiny, tiny hands the ability to uncomfortably get down with 50 classic Taito arcade titles. 40 as-yet-unconfirmed games will be bundled with the system at launch, with a further 10 being sold on SD card in an expansion pack, complete with a trackball and paddle controller.

The EGRET II Mini has some pretty cool features, such as the ability to flip the screen from landscape to portrait and switch the built-in stick from 4-way to 8-way functionality. Control pads (sold separately) can be connected to the machine for those who have normal-sized hands, and an HDMI-out port means that you won’t need to squint.

In terms of bundled games, the official trailer for the device shows the likes of Cadash, The New Zealand Story, Violence Fight, and Rastan Saga, but a full list has yet to be revealed.

The machine will retail for ¥18,678 ($170) in Japan when it releases on March 2, 2002. A US/European launch has yet to be confirmed.
