Sony Pictures Releasing The mid-2010s were a great time for Matthew McConaughey, who found himself gaining a newfound level of respect as an actor for his one-two punch of “True Detective” and “Interstellar” in 2014. The executives over at Marvel seemed to take note of The McConaissance, which is why they asked him to join the cast of “Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 2.” He would’ve played Star Lord’s father, Ego, and we’re sure he would’ve done a great job at it. (Not that we have any complaints about Kurt Russell’s performance, mind you.) But McConaughey declined the offer, opting instead to star in “The Dark Tower,” a fantasy movie that also came out in 2017. Whereas “Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 2” was a big critical/box office success, this

“Suits LA” arrives on Feb. 23, just six weeks after the devastating wildfires that destroyed much of the Pacific Palisades and Altadena. Initially, the series was only going to be set in Los Angeles, with production taking place in Vancouver. That’s where the pilot was shot in August. Then, the series received a tax credit from the state of California, and production relocated to L.A.

HBO When Sam Levinson’s “Euphoria” debuted on HBO, the coming-of-age series quickly became a phenomenon. It provided Zendaya the platform to become the youngest two-time Emmy winner in history as well as the youngest person to win an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her performance as high schooler Rue Bennett, undoubtedly the role that changed the trajectory of her entire career. Despite its edgy nature, “Euphoria” became a runaway mainstream success, one of the most discussed TV shows on social media, and the launchpad for a new class of Hollywood performers including Hunter Schaefer, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Eloridi, Storm Reid, and the late Angus Cloud. Based on the Israeli series of the same name, “Euphoria” follows troubled teenage drug addict Rue after her stint in

Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria swears she is open to doing more backend deals with filmmakers, talent, and producers, but she says almost none of them really want one, despite some public lobbying. On his “The Town” podcast, Puck founder Matt Belloni grilled Bajaria on a large variety of topics: the scandal plaguing the “Emilia Pérez” Oscar push, Greta Gerwig’s special “Narnia” deal, and the usual chatter about sports programming and data transparency. One standout segment for us was a relatively brief conversation about backend deals, in which talent — an actor, a director, or a producer — reaps the financial rewards of a hit film or show through a percentage of the profits. The Netflix model of almost always skipping any meaningful theatrical release for films definitely complicates
