Why The Academy’s Diversity Push Is Tougher Than It Thinks

The actress and comedian's new special 'Everything Must Go' streams on Max June 13.

Andrew McCarthy went from being a beloved '80s star (from Brat Pack movies like Pretty in Pink and St. Elmo's Fire to other touchstones of the decade, like Less Than Zero and Weekend at Bernie's) to the talented television director behind dozens of episodes from series like Gossip Girl, Orange Is the New Black, The Blacklist New Amsterdam, and Condor.

Max says the show was always planned as a two-season show.

At the time, making the existential black comedy with David O. Russell and a cast of legends seemed like a good idea to the actor.

We did our damndest to give you something you haven't seen before that'll feel like raw voltage in that theater, beamed Marcus Dunstan, director of the new teen horror film, #AMFAD: All My Friends Are Dead. The chilling tale finds a group of college friends renting an Airbnb during a huge music festival, but their party weekend soon takes a wicked turn.

Ian McKellen is the latest star of Peter Jacksons Lord of the Rings movies to address his possible return to the franchise in the upcoming film, The Hunt for Gollum. It is a decade since McKellen last appeared on-screen as Gandalf the Grey in Peter Jacksons The Hobbit trilogy, but it seems that the Thespian actor would be open to donning the robes againif time allows.
