Our show about 2nd chances gets exactly that. 8/24, all 10 episodes of REVIVAL drop on Netflix! We designed this series to be binged and now a massive Netflix audience can see it the way we always envisioned (and TV-MA to boot!)

No big deal. My last month has just been knee deep in the middle of a literal studio bidding war that now has led to me making a horror movie alongside Steven Spielberg. deadline.com/2026/07/yout...

YouTube 'Mandela Catalogue' Turning Into Movie from Steven Spielberg, Scott Stuber

Scott Stuber's United Artists, Amazon MGM, Steven Spielberg have won the movie rights to YouTube Horror Anthology 'Mandela Catalogue'. Creator Alex Kister is directing the film.

FACES OF DEATH premiere last week. These events and seeing so many friends almost (*almost*) make me want to be in LA more.

What a privilege it is to have the career I've had making movies and TV shows. And now, I get to use that experience to help get the projects I dreamed of seeing as a fan, a reality-- BEHIND THE MASK II is coming! www.leslievernonreturns.com variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Far and away, the best years of my life, including my career, have been since I turned 40. And w/ another birthday today, I know the best is *still* yet to come. Don’t let an age keep you from doing what you love, with people you love. You’re not late. You’re not behind. You have time. Use it 🖤

I have no idea what some filmmakers think they are doing these days. But I do have one word for the framing on this Netflix doc:

Time to report to your new office you miserable shit-stain of a human, Greg Bovino —

A reminder to the bootlickers to recall the 2A words of their fallen hero Charlie Kirk:

Lean in and buckle up because BONE TEMPLE is Metal AF. Nia DaCosta channeled 28 DAYS LATER's punk roots and infused it with a clenched demonic fist. Nia, you had my attention, now you have my fandom. This movie rules.

It is typically when our country is at its lowest or dire, when the best art is made, and this year in Film & Music illustrated that struggle beautifully. With that in mind, here is my 15th Annual Best of the Year Music Playlist on Spotify. One of my favorite years in Music in recent memory. Enjoy!

It's official. The internet has no idea what a "Plot Hole" actually is. The only hole your finding is in your logic, that same logic that leads to you thinking a new episode of STRANGER THINGS is coming. (I blame all this on Chat GPT)

The #Revival Season 1 soundtrack by Lydia Ainsworth & Alex Cuervo is out now: buff.ly/3sHwCFG Created by @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social & @lukeslens.bsky.social, stream #Revival Season 1 now on streaming services such as Prime Video, Crave (Canada), Binge (Australia) and Sky (UK). #Soundtracksky #TVsky

I loathe dudes that are obsessed with how much money someone else makes or constantly speculate and talk down about what they think they make. They so openly and brazenly assign value to someone based on their earnings. These people suck, and they permeate the film industry.

Paper Street Pictures' @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social is no stranger to the horror genre. He's been behind some well-known films, incl. SHELBY OAKS and SCARY PACKAGE I & II. For his Favorite Frights, he took a new approach by highlighting titles that he worked on and are now streaming on @shudder.com.🩸

We have new Lynne Ramsay, PTA, Yorgos and Joachim Trier alongside a new Predator film, all in theaters right now. Make this weekend count, friends.

My dream of making a TV Show, enabled my dream of working w/ David Seidman. And holy shit did he deliver! Death literally separating our sisters, as the weight of Em's murder sits on Dana's shoulders. Her search for justice, deteriorating in the process. But also a cool melting skull and shit 💀🫠

SHELBY OAKS has officially made more than its entire budget (re-shoots included) in the first 36 hours in Theaters. Huge thank you to everyone who has and will continue to check it out this weekend. We appreciate you! 🤘🖤

I’m lucky and proud to have accomplished a lot in my years: 25 movies, a TV Series, Hall of Fame at my school, Lasting relationships— But I just fit the last 18 months of my and Katie’s life into a Mini Cooper and… this is officially where I peak.

She’s being given the chance to touch greatness. October 24th. Only in theaters. #ShelbyOaks @neon-rated.bsky.social

We talk all about the season finale with both the show creators @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social & @lukeslens.bsky.social and comic creators @hackintimseeley.bsky.social & #MikeNorton! Ways to find #RelivingREVIVAL in the thread:

Three years of putting out fires all started with a man on fire. REVIVAL S1 is now, officially, fully out on Peacock. I’m not even going to try and put this into words here. But I hope you all get the chance to make your dreams come true with a family as special as this one 🖤🔥🖤🔥 #Revival

#Revival (by @hackintimseeley.bsky.social & #MikeNorton + #JennyFrison covers) is one of my favorite comics of all time. And the TV adaptation (by @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social & @lukeslens.bsky.social) is utterly fantastic. S1: www.peacocktv.com/watch-online... Comic: imagecomics.com/comics/serie...

That's a wrap on #Revival S1 🎉 A Top 5 comic to TV series adaptation for me. For SYFY WIRE, my final exclusive S1 post mortem w EP @lukeslens.bsky.social (txs to @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social too) as we go deep on the big beats in #RendtheVeil & their S2 plans (spoilers!): www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/re...

In 2019 Chris Stuckmann pitched me what eventually became SHELBY OAKS, at Fantastic Fest. And now in 2025, our movie will make it's US Premiere at Fantastic Fest, back where it all began, in my home base of Austin. Who wants to come party with us next month 🤘🖤

If you aren’t watching #Revival, you’re missing out! #Earpers, go to support Mel as Dana Cypress but stay because you absolutely fall in love with the cast and get hooked on the storyline. @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social is a genius. Thank me later, you have a show to watch right now. #E4L #ProudOfMel
