Project Infinity’s Grant S. Johnson (“May December”) has joined Helen Simmons, Christopher Fairbank (“Lady Macbeth”), Tom Stourton (“All My Friends Hate Me”), Jeff Mirza (“Juice”), Olivia D’lima (“The Killing Kind”), Kerena Jagpal (“3 Body Problem”), Markella Kavenagh (“Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”), Clare Perkins (“Medusa Deluxe”), Josh Cowdery (“Wrath of Man”) and Varada Sethu (“Doctor Who”).

“Until 100 Nights of Hero, I hadn’t seen a project since Euphoria that so taps into what feels like the next generation of filmmakers, talent, and material,” said Johnson. “While the film appears to be a period drama, it’s not, and is modern in its sensibilities.

'Fate: The Winx Saga' trailer has arrived and it looks promising.

Netflix has dropped the official trailer for the upcoming fantasy series 'Fate: The Winx Saga' just days ahead of its world premiere.

The supernatural drama is actually a live-action 'reimagining' of Nickelodeon's animated series 'Winx Club' which originated from the mind of Iginio Straffi, per Digitalspy.

According to Collider, the six-part series is created by Brian Young (The Vampire Diaries) and revolves around five fairies - Bloom, Stella, Aisha, Terra, and Musa - who attend a magical boarding school called Alfea.

The official synopsis for 'Fate: The Winx Saga' is as follows: "A live-action reimagining of the Italian animated series Winx Club, which has existed in various forms since 2004, Netflix’s grittier take “follows the coming-of-age journey of five fairies attending Alfea, a magical boarding school in the Otherworld where...

Netflix has debuted a new trailer for their latest series ‘Fate: The Winz Saga’ before it premieres this Friday.

The series follows the coming-of-age journey of five fairies attending Alfea, a magical boarding school in the Otherworld where they must learn to master their powers while navigating love, rivalries, and the monsters that threaten their very existence.

The live-action series is a reimagining of the Italian cartoon series Winx Club by Iginio Straffi and is from creator Brian Young (The Vampire Diaries).

The cast includes Abigail Cowen as Bloom, Hannah van der Westhuysen as Stella, Precious Mustapha as Aisha (Endeavour), Eliot Salt as Terra, Elisha Applebaum as Musa, Sadie Soverall as Beatrix (Rose Plays Julie), Freddie Thorp as Riven, Danny Griffin as Sky, Theo Graham as Dane and Jacob Dudman as Sam. Eve Best (Nurse Jackie), Robert James-Collier (Downton Abbey), Josh Cowdery (Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them) Alex Macqueen and Eva Birthistle also star.

We are just days away from the highly-anticipated debut of Netflix's adaptation of Fate: The Winx Saga.

The series is adapted from the Italian animated series Winx Club, which aired for four seasons (2004–2009) before nabbing a revival at Nickelodeon for four more (2011–2019).

This live-action iteration chronicles the “coming-of-age journey of five fairies attending Alfea, a magical boarding school in the Otherworld where they must learn to master their powers while navigating love, rivalries, and the monsters that threaten their very existence.”

The trailer certainly shows off how the show is set up, and it looks like the lovechild of Legacies and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which is funny because it features a cast member from the latter.

The good news is that the series will be a quick binge, spanning six episodes in its opening season, and there is scope for it to continue.

It will be fun to...

A live-action reimagining of the Italian animated series Winx Club, which has existed in various forms since 2004, Netflix’s grittier take “follows the coming-of-age journey of five fairies attending Alfea, a magical boarding school in the Otherworld where they must learn to master their powers while navigating love, rivalries, and the monsters that threaten their very existence,” according to its official synopsis.

“And lo, the magical super-franchise of Harry Potter doth continue.

MaryAnn’s quick take…

Forget about magical creatures: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them could use some help finding itself, and in figuring out who its protagonist is. I’m “biast” (pro): love the Harry Potter saga, love most of the movies

I’m “biast” (con): not a fan of Eddie Redmayne

(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)

Forget about magical creatures: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them could use some help finding itself. I can’t figure out what this movie is about. Worse, I don’t think director David Yates or screenwriter J.K Rowling even know what their movie is about. It’s barely even about fantastic beasts and where to find them, except to the degree that wizard naturalist Newt Scamander accidentally lets a few escape from his mobile collection lab–research library–menagerie in 1926 New York City and...

A YouTube reviewer investigates a self-help app called I-Lived which purports to make the users’ dreams come true by issuing a few simple goals. Online idiot Josh (Jeremiah Watkins) falls prey to its allure, the app getting him a dream girlfriend and job within but a short amount of time. Logging off, he loses everything. But when he signs back in, the terms and conditions have changed, and Josh finds himself set to lose more than a few Bitcoins.

In this age of Tinder, Grindr and whathaveyou, i-Lived is a timely technological horror story, questioning to what extent we let technology into our lives – particularly where self help and dating apps are concerned. It’s well made too,...

I suppose you can have too much of a good thing. At some point you reach your limit of vampires being totally superior to us. Oozing sexuality with inhuman strength and the uncanny ability to bed down anyone they choose, vampires can become a bit annoying with their superiority complexes. Fortunately there's a cure for all of that. Gorehounds, meet Sven ... The Uncool Vampire Blogger.

Created by Josh Cowdery and Chad Lindberg (of the 2010 version of I Spit on Your Grave) and originally posted on funnyordie.com, The Uncool Vampire Blogger follows the story of Sven, the vampire equivalent of Steve Urkel (or Screech from "Saved By The Bell" if you prefer). Although he is a bloodsucker, nothing else about Sven even remotely reminds us of the vamps from Bon Temps, La or Forks, Wa...and that's what makes him so endearing.

Below are the two Uncool Vampire Blogger shorts.
