STUDY: Women in Movies STILL Speak Less and Strip More

New research into on-screen diversity shows very little to no progress, counting 31% of characters in 2015’s biggest movies as female, 26.3 percent non-white and less than 1% LGBT.

The study, by the Media, Diversity and Social Change Initiative at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, is an annual project that began in 2007 and breaks down the demographics in the 100 most popular films at the US box office.

Researchers found that out of 4,730 speaking roles or named characters in the year’s top films, 68.6% were male and 31.4% female.

Women were also found to be more likely to be naked or in revealing clothing, with 30.2 percent barely clothes, compared to 7.7 % of men. The number of movies directed by women were also unsettling with 92.5 % of movies directed by men.

There was also little change in the number of non-white characters with 73.7% white, 12.2% black, 5.3% Latino and 3.9% Asian.

No Asian leads or co-leads were found in the year’s top performing 100 feature films, and less than 10% of the directors films were non-white.

LGBT characters barely existed in feature films.

LGBT characters were found in only 32 of the 4,370 speaking or named characters in 2015’s top films. Not a single LGBT identified lead or co-lead character was featured.

INTERVIEW: ‘Stranger Things’ Casting Director on Atlanta, Duffer Brothers, and Season 2

0

Interview with Stranger Things extras casting director Heather Taylor about what happened behind the hit TV series.

Stranger Things has become a pop-culture phenomenon. Last week, Netflix finally confirmed that there will be a second season of the hit TV series. In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weeklythe Duffer Brothers explained that season two is not too much longer, to make sure it is manageable and so “it is never treading water.”

But, before Stranger Things was a hit TV series, Heather Taylor, the unknown hero and background acting director, was tirelessly working on the series. We were luckily able to catch up with the casting director to discuss what it was like working on the Netflix series, what were the biggest challenges, and what it was like to cast so many high school actors.

How does it feel to see Stranger Things become an overnight success on Netflix?

netflix-stranger-things-season-2-01-960x576
The moment I met the creators and the cast I knew it was going to be giant success. These kids have the most incredible personalities and are so unique- they also embody the traits of their characters, and are fantastic actors- thats a trifecta right there. There are no current shows out there that have a main cast of almost all kids, unless you’re watching Disney or Nickelodeon (which is targeted for one specific age group). This show felt relatable to every age, from kids to adults. I would get totally lost from the outside world when I would read the scripts, not to mention how much everyone loves the 80s (including myself), how could this not be a hit!

What was your experience as a casting director on ‘Stranger Things’?

Being the extras casting director on “Stranger Things” was probably the most fun experience to date. Everyone was so hands on and it was almost like a game. We started casting a little over a month before we started shooting. Kalas and I requested that about 800 Males (Kids and Adults) should stop cutting their hair and let it grow, and that they should follow up with us by sending photos when they felt their hair had reached the right length for the 80s.
With these photos we compiled everyone into age groups and then put them into binders. Whenever we had to pick out specific roles we would go into our “Stranger Things” binder database and sit down with the various directors, and of course the Duffer Brothers, to select the right person for each respective role.

There are a lot of high school scenes that really showcased the talent of the background actors on ‘Stranger Things’, have any exciting stories about working on set of ‘Stranger Things’?

Stranger Things
Thank you so much! ? That means so much to us! No crazy stories. Our background holding was in the cafeteria of the school and each time we all gathered, there was always such a nostalgic feeling like we were back at school ourselves. There was no WiFi in the cafeteria either so it was a great way for us to all get lost in the moment and feel like we were back in the 80s. Everyone seemed to form into groups, some would color, play cards, or just talk all day, even though everyone of course had a cell phone, I rarely saw people just isolate and binge on their phone. There really was a sense of togetherness – It was just loads of fun and laughter.

What were the Duffer Brothers like?

Stranger things
They are Epic, Creative Geniuses, and Kids at Heart – it was always so much fun & fascinating watching them work together. They are so mentally connected, you can tell they have been imagining and planning the world of “Stranger Things” since they were kids themselves.
This was all their vision and they invited us to be a part of it, Kalas & I are honored / forever grateful for this experience. It was everything you could imagine it would be, plus more!

Any advice you would like to share to aspiring actors and fans of ‘Stranger Things’?

Don’t cut your hair and study your 80s trivia – if you are not an 80s kid like myself, you should now focus on becoming one.

Is the No. 1 Rated Fox News Coming to an End?

Is Greta Van Susteren’s departure from Fox News the beginning of the end?

20 years ago, Fox News’ went on the air. At that point in time non-Hispanic whites comprised about 60 percent of all live births in the United States. 19 years later, that number had shrunk to 53, bringing the long predicted end to America’s white majority, which is Fox News’ largest viewer demography. And now that the demography is steadily shrinking, a Fox news is facing a up hill battle. And it does not look like it is going to get any better.

Gret Van Susteren has left Fox News after working on the network for 14 years. Van Susteren, host of “On The Record” on the No. 1-rated cable news network, had her last show on Thursday. On Tuesday, it was announced she would leave the network. She wrote on Facebook, “has not felt like home to me for a few years.” In addition, Fox News deleted her blog, Gretawire.

It’s important to point out that Van Susteren did really well in the ratings but, failed to compare to Bill O’Reilly’s “O’Reilly Factor”. If Bill O’Reilly were to leave the network Fox’s ratings would be suffer a major blow. And the news reporter has revealed that he was getting tired of the daily nightly grind. However, his lucrative side business in the TV industry and book publishing trade, would mean the end of a marketing empire.

Sean Hannity could also leave Fox News, although that might depend on the future of the November election. He has been working closely with Donald Trump and a position within the White House would not be that far fetched, if Donald Trump becomes the next president.

In addition, the Fox News president Roger Ailes quickly left the network last month. Ailes was plagued with controversy after former host Gretchen Carlson sued in July for sexual harassment. That case has now been settled with a reported $20 million payout to the plaintiff.

At the end of the day, all major networks come to an end. One thing we do know for sure is that we will not see Van Susteren reporting on Fox News anytime soon.

Are Those Reports of Creepy Clowns Trying to Lure Kids Into the Woods a Publicity Stunt?

More reports of creepy clowns trying to lure kids into the woods surface.

As if Hollywood is taking marketing to a whole new level, a South Carolina town is warning residents about clowns hiding in the woods. In the last few weeks we have seen reports of a clown hanging around the woods by an apartment complex in Greenville, allegedly attempting to lure children according to reports.

A letter put up by the apartment complex including the following statement.

At no time should a child be alone at night, or walking in the roads or wooded areas at night. Also if a person or persons are seen you are to immediately call the police.

Another incident has been reported on Tuesday, this time around an apartment complex in Greensboro, South Carolina. The difference this time a witness decided to chase the clown with a machete.

A statement from police in Greensboro, North Carolina, says officers responded to a 911 call Tuesday from an apartment complex, where a witness reported seeing a person wearing a clown mask, red curly wig, yellow spotted shirt, blue clown pants and clown shoes coming out of the woods.

Spokeswoman Susan Danielsen said another witness wielding a machete chased the person, who disappeared into the woods. Officers searched the area, but couldn’t find anyone matching the description. She says no children were involved in the incident.

This news comes as Hollywood is currently working on a IT reboot feature film.

The new IT (2017) feature film centers around a small town in Maine, where seven children known as The Losers Club come face to face with life problems, bullies and a monster that takes the shape of a clown called Pennywise. The upcoming feature film features Finn Wolfhard, Bill Skarsgård, and Javier Botet. Skarsgard will play Pennywise, the evil monster who terrorizes a group of kids in a small Maine town. Lieberher will play the leader of the group, who was portrayed by Jonathan Brandis in the original 1991 film.

New Line recently announced the movie, directed by “Mama” helmer Andres Muschietti, would bow on Sept. 8, 2017. Muschietti came on board following Cary Fukunaga’s departure from the project last year, and quickly turned around a rewrite of the script.

IT movie

It’s important to point out that Hollywood has a history of starting viral “news” stories in order to promote feature films.

In fact, the feature film The Gallows created a viral hoax that you might remember as “The Charlie Charlie Challenge”. the insane that social media trend #CharlieCharlieChallenge, which teenagers use pencils like a Ouija board to summon a demon.

As the video shows above, this Charlie Charlie Challenge thing comes from a scene in the upcoming movie ‘The Gallows,’ a horror movie that was filmed before this challenge started. They are obviously behind the social media trend.

Some people took this #CharlieCharlieCharlieChallenge very seriously. One priest in Philadelphia wrote an open letter to students about the dangers of this “demonic” challenge. When it actuality it was all a giant marketing campaign.

At the end of the day, I wouldn’t take any chances.
