418<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I was one of the lucky 1.1 million people who saw the Stranger Things finale at the movie theater New Years Eve. Screenings were sold out around the country to celebrate the culmination of 9 years of a popular Netflix show. This also got me thinking about the theater experience and what is needed to get butts in seats in a time when people morbidly declare the movie theater is dead. </p>
419
420
421
422<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I went with a group of friends to the historic Tara Theatre. The Tara is an Atlanta landmark, an arthouse theater featuring 4 screens, independent showings, and old school charm. The Tara was one of approximately 600 theaters that did this special Netflix screening over New Years. It was also the location of a scene between Lucas and Max near the end of the finale. The Tara even gifted free movie passes to the lucky two who sat in those seats. Thanks to my friend Charles who came up with the idea. </p>

430<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The showing I went to at the Tara Theatre was a whopping $7 for a ticket. Seven dollars!? In THIS economy? Considering many movie ticket prices in Atlanta average around $15-20 for a basic showing, that was a steal. Tickets sold out in advance of the screening date, and from what I heard, that was the case around the country. Folks wanted to see this in theaters with their fellow fans. </p>
431
432
433
434<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The two-day screening over New Years netted theaters $25-30 million in sales &#8211; though not necessarily in ticket sales. According to Deadline, the actor&#8217;s residuals for the Netflix show kept them from selling actual tickets, so they sold ticket vouchers. It&#8217;s a loophole. </p>
435
436
437
438<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Netflix and movie theaters did a similar collab in August 2025 when they rereleased K POP Demon Hunters to the tune of $19m, and got Netflix its first No 1 at the box office. </p>
439
440
441
442<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Streaming culture has changed the way we do TV. Many stories are tailored to the bingeable short seasons of streaming television. But the lines are becoming blurred as streamers like Netflix, Apple TV and HBO put out their streaming content in movie theaters. Partly to gain an audience, and also partly to take part in those award ceremonies. </p>
443
444
445
446<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But this culture has also contributed to less folks going to the movie theater. You can argue with me about this, but why should folks go see something in the theater if it&#8217;s going to be on their TV in a month or two? </p>
447
448
449
450<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Fall Guy</em>, a movie I really enjoyed, barely got to get its legs up under itself before it was pulled from theaters and thrust onto the streamers. It was actually getting good reviews and word of mouth, but wasn&#8217;t given the chance it needed. <em>Fall Guy</em> was released May 3, 2024, made $180 million against its $125-150 million budget, and was pulled from theaters for &#8220;underperforming&#8221; its opening week. It was on the streaming service just 17 days after its release. When the film was uploaded to Peacock, it set a streaming record, becoming that platform&#8217;s biggest film debut. </p>
451
452
453
454<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Folks have been trying to predict the end of the movie theater experience for years. </p>

462<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This graph from The Numbers (great resource for these stats) shows that sharp decline into 2020 (we all know what happened there) and then a slow climb back up to where things stand now, which is quite a bit below where the numbers were headed in 2019. And this can be scary to those who make movies and to those who cherish them.</p>

466<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Audiences do enjoy the experience of being in a movie theater. For the most part. I mean you could listen to some of my friends who critique how oppressively loud the sound is or how rude their fellow patrons are. But for the right screening, people will put butts in seats. </p>

494In 2022 National Cinema Day was celebrated with a $3 movie ticket day, which was honored by numerous theater chains. People flocked to the movie theaters, seeing multiple movies in a day and finally watching movies they&#8217;d missed earlier in the year. It was a great promotion, and I&#8217;m sad that when I search for it now, I haven&#8217;t seen it done in years. </p>

555<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yet another person with a podcast. Oh my goodness. But let me explain. </p>
556
557
558
559<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the age-old complaints about movies and Hollywood in general is that there&#8217;s no originality left. We see endless remakes, reboots (slightly different), sequels, spinoffs and adaptations. Can&#8217;t they come up with anything <em>new</em>?</p>
560
561
562
563<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I began to dig into this idea, I found some surprising things. Like the fact that <em>Little Shop of Horrors </em>-the musical comedy horror starring Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene? &#8211; was actually a remake of a low budget movie from 1960. Did you know that Martin Scorsese&#8217;s <em>The Departed</em> is based on a 2002 Hong Kong film <em>Internal Affairs</em>? 1998&#8217;s <em>You&#8217;ve Got Mail</em> is a remake of <em>The Shop Around the Corner </em>(1940). <em>Ocean&#8217;s Eleven </em>(2001)<em> </em>is a remake of<em> Ocean&#8217;s Eleven </em>(1960)<em>.</em></p>
564
565
566
567<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A remake of an old movie can bring a classic story to a new audience&#8230; and also sometimes make audiences <em>really angry.</em></p>
568
569
570
571<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That passionate knee-jerk reaction is worth discussing.</p>
572
573
574
575<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;d love to see more originality in the movie theater. The problem is &#8212; those movies have a harder time finding an audience.</p>
576
577
578
579<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hollywood studios and executives are running a business, and they want to make money. And working with something that has established IP (like a Marvel movie, or a book adaptation, a remake) somewhat guarantees an audience will attend. At the end of the day, they just want to make money and make their shareholders happy. And they want to keep their jobs. </p>
580
581
582
583<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anyway, my friend Erica Strout and I got talking, usually at work in between setups or at lunch. We met on a reality show TV show with myself working as the camera operator and Erica as my camera assistant. We became fast friends. And then we watched movies together. And had a lot of discussions about film in general. </p>
584
585
586
587<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now we&#8217;re doing the <em>Lights, Camera, Remake! </em>Podcast. </p>

599<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Is it always a bad thing to see a remake of a classic (or possibly unknown) movie? Our podcast looks to break it down and see if there&#8217;s merit to  Hollywood shirking an original idea for a retelling.</p>

602
603<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On each episode we’ll look at a movie and its remake, or sometimes a movie and its sequel, to determine if Hollywood rehashed it for a reason or for a cash grab.</p>

There&#8217;s no way to truly catalogue them, so the best I can do is show you some examples from time to time, list the red flags, and hope to keep you from being taken advantage of in the future. </p>

I did blank out most of the names that posted because it&#8217;s likely they are hacked accounts and innocent of this posting. Or they could be completely fake profiles. Either way the most important thing is understanding the details of the scam. </p>

764<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>In Yellow:</strong> Generally bad grammar and grasp of the English language, so it&#8217;s likely an overseas scammer. </p>
765
766
767
768<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>In Blue: </strong>If you are a professional, you do not need an explanation of how to do your job. This is a complete misunderstanding of how professionals are hired for a film set. </p>
769
770
771
772<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>In Green:</strong> They use &#8220;kindly&#8221; which a lot of scammers use for some reason, and they&#8217;re also asking for all this identifying information. Probably for identity theft or to further sell your information to future scammers.</p>
773
774
775
776<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>In Red:</strong> This part is where you know it&#8217;s a scam. The guy claims he will pay you $2000 <em>before</em> the job. Never, ever accept payment before a job is done. This is a check phishing scam. They are just trying to steal <em>Your</em> money, which they will do once you see the second part of the red section: &#8220;This covers your $1500 upfront payment <strong><em>and the talents'(sic) fee ($4,000) payable to their manager.</em>&#8220;</strong> </p>
777
778
779
780<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is how the check phishing scam works. They issue you a fake check, and before your bank notices the check is fraudulent, you&#8217;ll be issuing a check from your <em>own</em> balance to pay the &#8220;talent&#8221; who is actually the scammer. You are out at least $4,000 at the end of this scam.</p>

784<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/how-spot-avoid-report-fake-check-scams">According to the FTC</a>, &#8220;Fake checks can take weeks to be discovered and untangled.

800<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here&#8217;s why this job looks suspicious at first glance and why I didn&#8217;t delete it immediately. </p>
801
802
803
804<ul class="wp-block-list">
805<li>Casting call &#8211; for a production assistant? You only do <em>casting</em> calls for actors. Crew calls for film crew. I chalked this up to someone green in the industry.</li>
806
807
808
809<li>Grammar &#8220;Seeking for.&#8221;</li>
810
811
812
813<li>3 days, 4 hours of work for a lump sum payment of $700. Again, I thought this was an inexperienced person who doesn&#8217;t know how day rates work. But 4 hours a day is suspicious even for a short film. </li>
814
815
816
817<li>The poster turned off comments. Scammers do this because they know people will start calling them out in the comments. But insecure people also do this.</li>
818</ul>
819
820
821
822<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I couldn&#8217;t annotate this one because as soon as I started, I realized I was underlining the entire thing in red. Let&#8217;s look at those emails!</p>

834<ul class="wp-block-list">
835<li>Giant block of text. Most gigs will email at best like two sentences to see if you&#8217;re available. </li>
836
837
838
839<li>Atrocious grammar and spelling. They don&#8217;t even spell their email correctly. </li>

842
843<li>Wishing you good health. This is America, we don&#8217;t have that.</li>
844
845
846
847<li>Apologizing. For some reason a lot of scam communications start with apologizing for being so busy. Maybe the intent is to make them look like they are in high demand or something. </li>
848
849
850
851<li>Audition &#8211; for a production assistant? Oh no honey. But this detail confirms my suspicion that this was also a copy &amp; pasted scam for an actor as well. Remember how the job post was a &#8220;Casting Call&#8221;? I bet this same scam showed up elsewhere targeting actors or models.</li>
852
853
854
855<li>I laughed at &#8220;Camera Man.&#8221; The term is camera operator. But they probably meant Director of Photography. </li>

1019<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Veles Productions <em>is</em> a real production company. They&#8217;re based in Poland. But they&#8217;re not the ones behind this. Scammers steal real production company names, director names and more to pretend to be someone else in order to trick you. </p>

1031<p class="wp-block-paragraph">First off, a &#8220;day rate&#8221; is usually going to be for a larger chunk of time, like 10 or 12 hours, and after that there&#8217;s overtime. Occasionally you&#8217;ll see a live event job or a corporate gig that&#8217;s only a few hours. </p>
1032
1033
1034
1035<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But this fake job post is trying to lure you in with the promise of high return with little effort. They claim you&#8217;re working 3 hours a day, total of 12 hours in the week, for $1503. </p>
1036
1037
1038
1039<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s not forget that this &#8220;day rate&#8221; of 125.21 for 3 hours equals about $42/hr. Which is astoundingly high for a PA. That is like a camera operator rate on some gigs. Then if you do the math, $42/hr x 12 hrs = $504. Again, like I&#8217;ve pointed out in a previous blog post, <strong>the math just isn&#8217;t mathing</strong>. </p>

1085<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This was one that graced the Atlanta Film Production Group for 4 hours before I was able to delete and ban the poster. First, I commented on the post, asking for clarification. Why were they asking for models to act? Wouldn&#8217;t you want actors? The poster claimed they wanted models <em>and</em> actors. it still didn&#8217;t make sense. Finally a community member came into the comments and said it was a scam. It had been posted in another city with the same dates and details. I did a quick search on Facebook to confirm, and deleted it. </p>

1186<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Art Directors Guild, IATSE 800, is a union representing over 3,000 Art Directors, Illustrators, Scenic Artists, Graphic Artists and Set Designers in the film industry. In the article, we learn that the Art Directors Guild sent an email out announcing they will suspend their training program due to the 75% unemployment rate among its union member&#8217;s ranks. This decision is entirely reflective of the ripple effect of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes last year.</p>

1194<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This also brings to mind how many people I see announcing they are moving to Atlanta and looking for connections in the local film industry. That&#8217;s fine but, I hope everyone and anyone who is thinking about going into film for the first time or moving to continue their film career does a bit of research f
1194irst. We clearly haven&#8217;t recovered from the two strikes last year (necessary though they were, they also hurt financially). I also question if we ever fully recovered from 2020, when the pandemic shuttered production across the world.</p>

1196
1197
1198<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But with a pandemic that encouraged people to stay inside, there ended up being a lot of TV being consumed. The streaming companies &#8212; Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Paramount, etc &#8212; got excited. </p>

1202<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In 2021, Netflix boosted their budget almost 30%, putting $13.6 billion into content spending. <a href="https://variety.com/2021/digital/news/netflix-content-spending-2021-amortized-1235072612/">This article from 2021</a> predicted their budget would balloon to $18 billion by 2025. An sharp upward trend seemed likely. </p>
1203
1204
1205
1206<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In 2023, Netflix content spending was around $17 billion. And before you point out &#8220;but 17 is so close to 18!&#8221; I need you to realize how vast a number 1 billion represents. If we were to use time as an example: 1 million seconds = 11 days . 1 billion seconds = 31 years. </p>
1207
1208
1209
1210<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Streamers are focusing on <a href="https://thestreamable.com/news/analysis-content-spending-will-slow-in-2023-as-streamers-pivot-to-profitability-disney-netflix-to-lead-way">more original content</a> in order to keep customers interested. There&#8217;s also a noted shift into reality style television, as shows like Netflix&#8217;s <em>Nailed It</em> cooking competition series are still popular and much cheaper to produce than narrative content. I&#8217;ve also <a href="https://bridgetlamonica.com/2023/08/30/pay-or-play-some-movies-dont-see-the-light-of-day/">talked before</a> about these companies not greenlighting projects and just outright cancelling them to save a buck. </p>

1214<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The streaming companies blew their budget on a dream, and now the bill has come due. They over estimated their profitability while fighting each other for market dominance. Instead of one triumphing over the others, we have a consumer base watered down and split amongst many services, if they even have streaming at all. Who misses cable now?</p>

1218<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is also likely a slow up because of this year&#8217;s negotiations between the AMPTP and IATSE, Teamsters and Hollywood Basic Crafts. The current 3 year contract expires July 31st. These unions are negotiating for proposals on Pension and &amp; Health Plans, wage increases, residuals and concerns over artificial intelligence.</p>
1219
1220
1221
1222<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A strike doesn&#8217;t seem as likely this year. For one, the negotiations appear to be making some headway. Several unions such as Local 892 Costume Designers and Local 728 Lighting technicians <a href="https://variety.com/2024/biz/news/iatse-local-agreements-near-end-1235969125/">have reached tentative deals</a>.  </p>
1223
1224
1225
1226<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But, the reality is that most folks can&#8217;t afford to have another strike. That&#8217;s concerning because of what&#8217;s on the docket but also&#8230;totally understandable. Those of us in this position are trying to recoup from last year. Some folks haven&#8217;t worked at all this year. That&#8217;s unheard of in most other professions.</p>
1227

1229
1230<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The fact that the Art Directors Guild suspended their training program is genuinely sad to hear, but it seems to have been done with the very real concern about not putting more pressure on folks who need work right now. As hard as it is to see, not adding trainees in the guild for a time is a kindness. And surely, when things pick up, they can reassess and reopen their ranks to new people. </p>
1231
1232
1233
1234<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Will things ever go back or is this a hint at lasting change? The answer is far more complicated than we can surmise right now.</p>

1296			<p>My last post was about separating artist from art. Weinstein was a topical case study of course, but my intention was to ask whether we could still enjoy art created by problematic people. Y&#8217;know, the Hitchcocks of the world.</p>
1297<p>During all the discussions regarding problematic directors and producers, I never felt personally affected, except to put trust in the victims and decry the actions of those who abused their power.</p>
1298<p>But I&#8217;m getting ahead of myself.</p>
1299<p>In 2001, <em>Smallville</em> premiered. The TV series that showed Clark Kent&#8217;s journey to become Superman quickly became my favorite. Show runners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, in addition to bringing in a number of classic characters of the Superman mythos, also introduced a couple original characters. One such character was brave and smart. She stopped at nothing to expose the truth, help her friends and make a better world in her own way.</p>
1300<p>I&#8217;m talking about Chloe Sullivan, played by Allison Mack. She was the nascent reporter turned pseudo-Justice League Watchtower. She was my favorite character besides Clark.</p>
1301<p>Last year I saw someone share an article that didn&#8217;t look legit. It stated that Allison Mack had been found to victimize girls and prostitute them for cult leader Keith Raniere. Pimp Mack, they called her. I was sure this article wasn&#8217;t true.</p>
1302<p>This week Mack was arrested. The story was real.</p>
1303<p><img data-attachment-id="2495" data-permalink="https://bridgetlamonica.com/2018/04/22/teachable-moment-the-nxivm-case/mack/#main" data-orig-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/mack.jpg" data-orig-size="527,389" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;User&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1524416133&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="mack" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-large-file="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/mack.jpg?w=527" loading="lazy" class=" size-full wp-image-2495 aligncenter" src="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/mack.jpg" alt="mack" width="527" height="389" srcset="https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/mack.jpg 527w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/mack.jpg?w=150&amp;h=111 150w, https://bridgetlamonica.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/mack.jpg?w=300&amp;
1303h=221 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px" /></p>
1304<h5 style="text-align:right;"><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/20/entertainment/allison-mack-arrested/index.html">See full article here.</a></h5>
1305<p>Mack co-founded Nxivm with Keith Raniere. The organization operated under the guise of a mentorship program for young women. The company website states: &#8220;NXIVM is a company whose mission is to raise human awareness, foster an ethical humanitarian civilization, and celebrate what it means to be human.&#8221;</p>
1306<p>No. It&#8217;s a pyramid scheme meant to trap women, self-branded as a form of self help and entrepreneurial endeavor.</p>
1307<p>Apparently Kristin Kreuk, the actress who played Lana Lang on <em>Smallville</em>, <a href="https://www.yourtango.com/2018312099/new-details-smallville-actress-kristin-kruek-accused-luring-women-nxivm-cult-sex-slaves">recruited Mack before eventually getting out of it herself</a>. Kreuk shared in a statement on Twitter that she had joined the group to help with her shyness, assuming it was simply a self help workshop. She closed her statement with how she is &#8220;deeply disturbed&#8221; and thanked the women who came forward about the violent inner workings of Nxivm.</p>
1308<p>Mack continued in the group, leveling up to Raniere&#8217;s inner circle by luring girls into the pyramid scheme turned sex trafficking ring. Women were encouraged to recruit other women in order to become masters instead of slaves. Girls were branded and made to starve themselves to fit Raniere&#8217;s sexual fantasies. These were impressionable women who were seeking to better their careers through what they thought was mentorship.</p>
1309<blockquote><p>Emil: Chloe, I couldn&#8217;t help but notice that you practically jumped out of your chair when I came in here. I&#8217;d prefer that if there were no secrets between us.<br />
1310Chloe: Then you&#8217;re in the wrong business.</p></blockquote>
1311<h5 style="text-align:right;"><em>Smallville Season 9, Episode 6: Rabid</em></h5>
1312<p>I usually use this blog to teach about film, but sometimes those teachable moments are less about technique and more about the seedy underbelly of the entertainment industry.</p>
1313<p>It upsets me to my core that this case has brought to light the dirty laundry of an actress I thought I could admire. It upsets me that it was an actress at all who lured women into this trap.</p>
1314<p>I look back at her most famous role, that of the dynamic and strong Chloe Sullivan.  I feel betrayed by a person I never met who doesn&#8217;t know I exist. She doesn&#8217;t owe me an explanation. An actor is not their character. This much is definitely clear here. We must out predators wherever and whomever they are.</p>
1315<p>We must not throw judgment on the young women who were sucked into this world. Like with any cult, it probably didn&#8217;t seem so bad until they were in deeper than they could escape. Maybe that&#8217;s even how Mack&#8217;s involvement began.</p>
1316<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure if you&#8217;ve noticed, but the people who are the worst at taking care of themselves are the ones the world actually needs the most.&#8221; &#8212; Chloe Sullivan, <em>Smallville</em></p></blockquote>
1317<p>I hope that young women will take note from this case, and be very careful who they put their faith in for mentorship opportunities and career advancement. Not all who say they are there to help you have your best interests at heart.</p>
1318<p>Hopefully this will be a teachable moment for Allison Mack too. She could have taken many lessons on doing the right thing from the character she portrayed for ten years. Instead she, like the Weinstein-like men before her, must face consequences for her actions.</p>
