The Peach State is making waves in the entertainment sector as it steadily climbs the ladder to become a film production powerhouse. The Georgia Department of Economic Development recently disclosed that a whopping $4.1 billion was expended on film and TV productions within the state in the last year alone. This remarkable growth is a testament to Georgia's burgeoning film industry, which hosted 390 productions between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023. These productions encompassed 31 feature films, 55 independent films, 241 television and episodic productions, 40 commercials, and 23 music videos.
A significant milestone was achieved as Georgia surpassed New York in soundstage space, with projections indicating that it's on track to overtake California by 2027. The evolution of filming space in Georgia is nothing short of impressive, expanding from 45,000 square feet in 2010 to an anticipated 7 million square feet by 2025. This exponential growth reflects the state's commitment to nurturing a conducive environment for film productions.
The financial trajectory also paints a promising picture. From 2012 to 2022, film-related capital investment in Georgia summed up to $1.3 billion. Moreover, an additional $2.9 billion is earmarked for construction between 2023 and 2027, signaling a booming infrastructure growth propelled by the success of the state's film industry.
At the helm of this success is the state's film tax credit, which, according to Kelsey Moore, the executive director of the Georgia Screen Entertainment Coalition, has been instrumental in metamorphosing Georgia into a global filming hub. The billions spent have not only enriched local businesses but also created a myriad of job opportunities, contributing significantly to the state's economy.
However, it's not all smooth sailing as the state's film tax credit is currently under scrutiny. State Economist Jeffrey Dorfman has proposed that the tax credit should either be revoked or scaled back. Contrarily, proponents argue that such a move could potentially deter productions, driving them to other states and, in turn, adversely affecting the local economy.
The narrative of Georgia's film industry is one of resilience, strategic investment, and an unwavering commitment to becoming a global leader in film production. As the state continues on this upward trajectory, the spotlight shines brighter on Georgia, heralding a new era of film production not just in the United States, but on the global stage.

Georgia's Film Industry Skyrockets, Set Up to Surpass California by 2027

In a significant development that underscores the importance of collective bargaining, President Joe Biden has extended his commendation towards the tentative agreement reached between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). This agreement comes as a breath of fresh air, marking the end of a 146-day strike that had significantly impacted the entertainment industry.
In a statement released on Monday, President Biden applauded the efforts of both parties in reaching a consensus that would allow writers to resume their crucial role in storytelling. He emphasized the importance of the stories that reflect the essence of our nation and the world, acknowledging the hardships that industry laborers across various practices and mediums have endured over the last five months.
"This agreement, including assurances related to artificial intelligence, did not come easily," Biden remarked, highlighting the challenges faced during the negotiation process. "But its formation is a testament to the power of collective bargaining. There simply is no substitute for employers and employees coming together to negotiate in good faith toward an agreement that makes a business stronger and secures the pay, benefits, and dignity that workers deserve."
The President's statement resonates with the broader narrative of ensuring fair compensation and working conditions for workers, extending beyond the entertainment industry to other sectors as well. He urged all employers to recognize that all workers, including writers, actors, and autoworkers, deserve a fair share of the value their labor contributes to creating.
The WGA-AMPTP agreement has been a focal point of discussion, especially given the stalemate over AI usage and staffing levels for writing rooms that it aimed to resolve. The tentative agreement reached on Sunday night has been hailed as a significant step towards restoring a major piece of California&rsquo;s economy back to work.
The reaction to the agreement wasn't confined to the presidential office; several other political figures and industry stakeholders expressed their support and gratitude for the resolution of the strike. California Governor Gavin Newsom, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, and Senator Bernie Sanders were among those who took to social media to praise the deal. Their messages echoed a similar sentiment of solidarity and the importance of dignified working conditions for writers.
The entertainment industry, a critical component of California's economy, has been under the spotlight, with the strike highlighting the pressing issues faced by writers, especially in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. The agreement, which also addresses concerns related to artificial intelligence, sets a precedent for how negotiations can pave the way for fair compensation and working conditions.
As the industry now looks towards a period of recovery and rejuvenation, the WGA-AMPTP agreement serves as a beacon of hope for other labor unions and industry bodies advocating for better working conditions and fair compensation. The endorsement from President Biden amplifies the message of the agreement, reinforcing the importance of collective bargaining in achieving equitable solutions.
The journey towards this agreement has been a testament to the resilience and solidarity displayed by the writers and the broader entertainment community. It also reflects a growing awareness and acknowledgment of the challenges faced by creative professionals in the modern industry landscape.
In conclusion, the WGA-AMPTP agreement, backed by the commendation from President Biden, marks a significant milestone in the ongoing dialogue surrounding workers' rights, fair compensation, and the ethical use of artificial intelligence in the entertainment industry. As the industry moves forward, the lessons learned from this negotiation are likely to resonate and influence future discussions and agreements.

President Biden Praises WGA-AMPTP Agreement

In a landmark development, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) have inked a new three-year contract, marking the end of a 140-day strike that had brought the entertainment industry to a standstill. This agreement, unveiled on September 26, 2023, heralds a new era of enhanced compensation, better working conditions, and significant protections against the encroachment of artificial intelligence in the creative process.
The financial contours of the deal are nothing short of a victory for the writers. The total value of the contract is pegged at a whopping $233 million, a substantial leap from the initial $86 million offer by the AMPTP. This financial augmentation reflects a broader recognition of the indispensable role writers play in the burgeoning entertainment landscape, especially in the face of the streaming revolution that has reshaped viewing habits globally.
One of the cornerstone achievements of this agreement is the structured wage increment for writers, aligned with the rates previously agreed upon by the studios and the Directors Guild of America. The writers are set to enjoy a 5% wage increase in the first year, followed by a 4% increase in the second, and a 3.5% increase in the third year. This structured wage increment is a significant stride towards ensuring that the writers' earnings are commensurate with the pivotal role they play in content creation.
In an industry increasingly flirting with artificial intelligence, the new contract has laid down robust protections for writers. A key provision in the agreement stipulates that studios cannot mandate writers to use AI tools in their creative process. Moreover, if any AI-generated material is provided to writers, the studios are required to disclose it. This is a monumental step in preserving the human essence of storytelling, ensuring that the creative reins remain firmly in the hands of the writers.
Furthermore, the WGA has secured the rights regarding the use of its members' work in data sets meant to train AI programs. The guild reserves the right to assert that such exploitation of writers&rsquo; material is prohibited, thereby safeguarding the intellectual property rights of the writers in the digital age.
The contract also addresses the evolving dynamics of streaming compensation, introducing a bonus structure for streaming titles that perform exceptionally well. Starting in 2024, streaming titles with budgets exceeding $30 million and viewed by 20% or more of the service&rsquo;s domestic subscribers in the first 90 days of release will trigger a bonus equal to 50% of the fixed domestic and foreign residual. This is a forward-thinking provision that aligns writers' compensation with the success of their work on streaming platforms.
Moreover, for feature-length streaming projects with a budget at or above $30 million, the minimal initial compensation for a story or teleplay has been set at $100,000, marking an 18% increase from the current rate. This adjustment reflects a more realistic valuation of writers' contributions to high-budget streaming projects.
In a bid to ensure a conducive working environment, the contract mandates studios to hire a minimum number of writers and writer-producers for both development and production phases. This provision ensures that there is adequate staffing to meet the creative demands of projects, thereby fostering a more collaborative and productive working environment.
The agreement also facilitates a more transparent relationship between writers and streaming services regarding viewership data. The WGA will now receive confidential viewership data on streaming shows based on hours viewed, although only aggregate data can be publicly shared. This provision empowers writers with better insights into the performance of their work, fostering a more informed dialogue between writers and studios.
In conclusion, the new WGA-AMPTP contract is a monumental step towards creating a more equitable and rewarding working environment for writers. As the entertainment industry continues to evolve in the face of technological advancements and changing viewer preferences, this agreement sets a robust precedent for ensuring that the rights and contributions of writers are duly recognized and rewarded.

$750/Day Home Building Commercial Casting Call

<h2>Prospects for TV Production Restart Following WGA's Agreement.</h2>
After an extensive period of nearly 150 days, Hollywood studios have finally reached a preliminary accord with the Writers Guild of America for a fresh contract. Unless unexpected objections arise from WGA members, the writer's segment of the Hollywood strike is effectively concluded.
So, when can viewers expect their beloved shows to return to screens? And when will highly anticipated films resume production?
The concise response is as soon as feasibly possible. WGA members have consistently expressed their eagerness to reoccupy the writers' rooms. Concurrently, the studios, represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers in guild negotiations, have incurred significant financial losses during the strike and need prompt production revival to mitigate these losses.
However, specific prerequisites must be fulfilled before this revival can occur, commencing with the contract's ratification.
In the coming days, the precise terms of the deal will be formalized in official documentation. Subsequently, the WGA Negotiating Committee will conduct a vote to decide on recommending and transmitting the agreement to the guild's board for approval. This vote is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday.
Following the acquisition of the contract, guild leaders will disseminate it among members for a ratification vote. While the guild has not disclosed a specific timeline for this vote, it must allow members sufficient time to scrutinize the contract before casting their votes.
It is worth noting that guild leaders may opt to lift the restraining order and conclude the strike on a specific yet undetermined date and time, pending ratification. According to the WGA, this would enable writers to return to work during the ratification vote without impeding the membership's right to decide on contract approval.
Writers are advised not to resume work until duly authorized by the guild.
Another factor adding complexity is the ongoing strike by SAG-AFTRA since July 13, which the WGA has pledged to support until its resolution.
As of the latest update, the actors' guild and studios still need to set a date for resuming negotiations. However, insiders suggest that recommencing talks with the actors has been a priority for some studios, especially when discussions with the WGA encountered obstacles.
Given that actors and writers struck for similar reasons, the guild will likely secure a deal on terms akin to the WGA at the earliest opportunity.
One of the final points of contention between WGA and AMPTP centered on safeguarding members who prefer to wait until SAG-AFTRA resolves before returning to work. Or, as articulated in a memo to WGA members in early August, to "honor other unions' picket lines as they have honored ours during this strike."
The specifics of the deal still need to be disclosed. Notably, the WGA suspended its picket lines on Sunday but encouraged members to join SAG-AFTRA pickets until the guild issues authorization to resume work.
Regarding late-night programming, the timeline remains somewhat uncertain, but viewers can anticipate figures like Meyers, Fallon, and Colbert to be among the first to resume work. These hosts were some of the quickest to halt production and could be among the first to restart. However, the exact timeline will be determined by each show. Nevertheless, in August, a knowledgeable source hinted that late-night shows could be operational within as little as two weeks.
Representatives for these programs have yet to respond to TheWrap's request for comment.
The scripted series will likely be the last to return to screens. While writers can begin crafting new scripts, television shows rely on actors to resume work. IN AUGUST, former NBC Studios president Tom Nunan suggested that the most optimistic scenario would be to have network shows back in production in January.
Insiders, however, posit that this timeline could be expedited. "Law &amp; Order: SVU" showrunner Warren Leight outlined a potential path on social media that would enable 13-episode seasons of scripted series to proceed if the strike concluded by October. Leight proposed that once hired, writers would require less than the customary five to six weeks lead time to initiate the season since they'd be producing only 13 episodes. Furthermore, he noted that if everyone agreed to a one-week Christmas break instead of the usual two weeks of unpaid leave, productions might manage to shoot five episodes before the new year.
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav also expressed optimism this month, affirming during an investor conference in early September that "as soon as these strikes are resolved, everybody is ready to get back to work."
Nonetheless, it should be underscored that SAG still needs to secure its deal. Without actors, no scripted series can recommence. Michelle Hurd, "Star Trek: Picard" actress and the Los Angeles VP of the actors' guild, elucidated in August that there was minimal likelihood of SAG reentering negotiations before the WGA resolved.
"The bottom line is that we can't go back into negotiations until they agree with the WGA," Hurd stated. "So this makes it, you know, as long as there's actual true good faith bargaining happening, then that path to us getting back is closer because they're at that table."

When Will Production Resume After WGA Deal?

With the Writers Guild's strike poised to conclude following a tentative agreement, attention now shifts to SAG-AFTRA. At the same time, IATSE and the American Federation of Musicians await their turns on the negotiation stage.
The subsequent contracts under scrutiny belong to the American Federation of Musicians: the Basic Theatrical Motion Picture and Basic Television Motion Picture Agreements, slated to expire on November 14. Negotiation dates with the AMPTP are pending.
Unlike the Directors Guild, which secured a contract without resorting to a strike on June 3, the WGA, engaged in a strike since May 2, rejected the industry's customary "pattern bargaining" practice, where the subsequent union in line typically mirrors the preceding deal.
With the WGA achieving terms arguably superior to the DGA after 146 days of picketing, SAG-AFTRA may view this agreement not as a strict pattern but as a foundational model. This framework could address many of SAG-AFTRA's demands, including enhanced wages, innovative streaming residual calculations, and protections against potential artificial intelligence-related abuses.
This juncture may be a fresh starting point when SAG-AFTRA's negotiations recommence. While the leaders expressed readiness to return to the table since the actors' strike commenced on July 14, SAG-AFTRA harbors unique concerns, such as minimum staffing and employment duration in TV writers' rooms, kept from the DGA or WGA contracts.
One pressing issue for actors pertains to self-taped auditions, which became widespread during the COVID-19 pandemic. SAG-AFTRA contends that these auditions lack regulation and oversight, posing an undue burden on performers' lives. They advocate for reasonable guidelines, broader access to alternative casting methods, and protections against exploitation.
Before the strike, both sides tentatively agreed to numerous self-taping rules, addressing technical requisites and other concerns. While SAG-AFTRA continues to push for further protections, these prior agreements could serve as a basis for future negotiations unless the companies adopt a rigid stance, dismissing them post-strike.
The WGA's success in mitigating potential AI abuses may provide a blueprint for SAG-AFTRA to tackle similar threats to performers. However, SAG-AFTRA asserts that the AMPTP failed to address critical concerns, potentially jeopardizing performers' roles adequately.
Finances, encompassing wages and residuals, remain challenging, with SAG-AFTRA advocating for an 11% pay increase in the initial contract year. Nevertheless, the prolonged work hiatus may have offset substantial portions of this increment.
After the actors' strike concludes, the AMPTP will face negotiations with IATSE in the coming year. IATSE members, who have stood in solidarity with striking actors and writers, have incurred significant losses in terms of wages and employer contributions to their pension and health plans. Whether this hardship will culminate in a more assertive stance or a reluctance to strike again remains uncertain.
In the interim, WGA members must ratify their new agreement. The Ellen Stutzman-led WGA negotiating committee is slated to vote on the agreement's recommendation for approval by the WGAW Board and WGAE Council in votes tentatively scheduled for Tuesday.
While the first casualties of the WGA strike, late-night comedy and daytime talk shows, are set to return promptly due to their exclusion from SAG-AFTRA's ongoing strike, films and scripted TV shows without Interim Agreements with SAG-AFTRA will remain in limbo until the strike's resolution.

Post-WGA Agreement: What's Next?

<h2>SAG-AFTRA Extends Congratulations to WGA on Tentative Agreement, Calls on Studios to Resume Negotiations with Actors.</h2>
SAG-AFTRA, a staunch supporter of the writers throughout the WGA strike, wasted no time applauding the guild's recent achievement in securing a tentative deal.
In an official statement, the union affirmed its ongoing strike stance and urged the AMPTP to re-engage with the actors at the negotiating table to hash out the essential terms for its members.
"SAG-AFTRA commends the WGA for reaching a tentative agreement with the AMPTP following an impressive 146 days of unwavering determination and unity on the picket lines. While we anticipate reviewing the specifics of the WGA and AMPTP's tentative accord, we remain steadfast in our commitment to securing the requisite conditions for our members," the statement emphasized.
"From the inception of the WGA strike, SAG-AFTRA members have stood shoulder to shoulder with the writers on the picket lines. We continue our strike action under our TV/Theatrical contract. We strongly encourage the CEOs of studios and streaming platforms, along with the AMPTP, to return to negotiations and establish an equitable deal that our members rightfully expect and request."
This declaration comes amid the actors' 73-day strike period.
SAG-AFTRA initiated their strike on July 14, a fortnight after their contract lapsed on June 30. The union greenlit their strike authorization vote, securing an overwhelming 98% mandate, on June 5.
Discussions broke down on July 13, marking the first actors' strike against the film and TV industry since 1980. Although negotiations were ongoing, skeptics speculated that studios employed this tactic to afford specific Hollywood blockbusters more promotional lead time.
Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA's National Executive Director and chief negotiator, consistently emphasized the union's readiness to return to the negotiating table with the AMPTP, which, throughout this process, has engaged exclusively with one party at a time.
"We've remained prepared, eager, and capable of continuing negotiations with them, and we sincerely hope the AMPTP will rejoin us at the table," he stated emphatically last month.

<h2>Director Shawn Levy of "Deadpool 3" Discusses Exploration of "Fox-Marvel Legacy."</h2>
Deadpool and Wolverine are set to officially enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a thrilling development for fans. Director Shawn Levy, at the helm of Deadpool 3, hints at introducing more X-Men characters into the film. When discussing the highly anticipated first R-rated release from Marvel Studios, Levy emphasized that the movie will delve into the "Fox-Marvel Legacy," acknowledging the bygone era of Marvel-based films under 20th Century Fox and their integration into the MCU.
In an interview with Total Film, Levy remarked, "Deadpool and Wolverine stand as emblematic figures within the Marvel universe, particularly within the Fox era of Marvel. We won't simply brush aside the significant impact of that Fox legacy; it played a pivotal role in shaping what we now recognize as the MCU. Fox's influence extended to shaping the careers of Ryan, Hugh, and myself. There's a wealth of history there, including the extensive Marvel legacy at Fox, and undoubtedly, that will be woven into our narrative."

When did not getting a role be considered a 'lost?'

It's not. Some reporters have become overly enamored with sports metaphors. I am an actress, and can confidently say that not getting a role does not equate to "losing." As in the cases of these five actors, auditioning for one role and not getting it often leads to one being offered opportunities to do other roles.

No idea why people keep saying to this day that Mia Wasikowska was in the running for Johanna. She was never even approached for the role to begin with.

<h2>Hollywood is tough. Here are 5 famous actors that auditioned for roles on The Hunger Games and lost</h2>
The Hunger Games franchise is one of the biggest series to ever hit Hollywood. With reports claiming that the new Mockingjay - Part 1 made over 50 million dollars opening weekend, fans all over the world are joining in to see what will happen to Katniss Everdeen.

The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 1 continues to follow Katniss Everdeen. After, surviving the Hunger Games twice, Katniss finds herself in District 13. Under the leadership of President Coin and the advice of her trusted friends, Katniss reluctantly becomes the symbol of a mass rebellion against the Capitol and fights to save Peeta and a nation moved by her courage.

The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 1 stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright, Stanley Tucci and Donald Sutherland. It is the sequel to The Hunger Games: Catching Fireand will be followed by the concluding entry, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2.

But, before Jennifer Lawrence landed the role of a lifetime and before, Josh Hutcherson ever became Peeta, dozens of aspiring actors auditioned for the lead roles in The Hunger Games. 

According to <a href="http://www.thewrap.com/shailene-woodley-grant-gustin-and-5-other-stars-who-found-success-without-hunger-games/" target="_blank">The Wrap</a>, here are 5 popular actors that auditioned for lead roles in The Hunger Games but eventually lost.
<h3>1. Shailene Woodley</h3>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-67663" src="https://www.projectcasting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Shailene-Woodley.jpg" alt="Shailene Woodley" width="449" height="500" />

Before ever becoming Beatrice "Tris" Prior, in The Divergent Series based on the best-selling series of novels by author Veronica Roth, and before ever becoming Hazel Grace Lancaster in The Fault in Our Stars, based on the novel of the same name by John Green, Shailene Woodley auditioned for the role of Katniss Everdeen. According to <a href="http://www.thewrap.com/shailene-woodley-grant-gustin-and-5-other-stars-who-found-success-without-hunger-games/" target="_blank">The Wrap</a>, "She must have impressed Lionsgate execs during her Katniss auditions because they cast the actress as the lead in their next big YA franchise, “Divergent.”
<h3>2. Grant Gustin</h3>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-67664" src="https://www.projectcasting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/The-Flash-CW-Full-Season-Order.jpg" alt="The-Flash-CW-Full-Season-Order" width="620" height="320" />

Grant Gustin is known for his roles as Sebastian Smythe on the Fox series Glee and as Barry Allen/The Flash on the CW series Arrow and The Flash. But, before he ever landed a show on the CW network, Gustin auditioned for the leading role of Finnick Odair in "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire." The role ended up going to Sam Claflin, a year later, but now the actor is working on  one of the most popular TV series on the CW network.
<h3>3. Evan Peters</h3>
[caption id="attachment_67666" align="aligncenter" width="334"]<img class="size-full wp-image-67666" src="https://www.projectcasting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Evan-Peters.jpg" alt="Evan Peters" width="334" height="500" /> Helga Esteb / Shutterstock.com[/caption]

Evan Peters is known for his roles on American Horror Story and playing superhero Quicksilver in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" but, the actor also auditioned for Josh Hutcherson's role of Peeta Mellark in The Hunger Games. According to reports, the actor tested alongside Jennifer Lawrence in the movie but, producers, casting directors, and executives believed Josh Hutcherson was a better fit for Jennifer Lawrence.
<h3>4. Mia Wasikowska</h3>
[caption id="attachment_67667" align="aligncenter" width="500"]<img class="size-full wp-image-67667" src="https://www.projectcasting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Mia-Wasikowska.jpg" alt="Mia Wasikowska" width="500" height="334" /> PAN Photo Agency / Shutterstock.com[/caption]

Mia Wasikowska gained worldwide prominence in 2010 after starring as Alice in Tim Burton's $1 billion-grossing Alice in Wonderland and appearing in The Kids Are All Right, a role for which she received the Hollywood Awards' Breakthrough Actress Award. After working on the Tim Burton hit feature film, the actress was extremely popular in Hollywood. Casting directors listed her as a possibility to play Johanna Mason in "The Hunger games: Catching Fire". But, the role would eventually go to Jena Malone.
<h3>5. Chloe Moretz</h3>
[caption id="attachment_67669" align="aligncenter" width="333"]<img class="size-full wp-image-67669" src="https://www.projectcasting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Chloe-Moretz1.jpg" alt="Chloe Moretz" width="333" height="500" /> Christopher Halloran / Shutterstock.com[/caption]

Chloe Moretz is most known for such movies as  (500) Days of Summer, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Kick-Ass, Let Me In, Hugo, Dark Shadows, Carrie, If I Stay and The Equalizer.  Chlore Moretz told the LA Times that “I'd die to play Katniss. It's such a cool role.” The actress is currently in Atlanta, Georgia working on the alien franchise thriller, "The 5th Wave", based on the bestselling books by Rick Yancey.

5 Famous Actors that Auditioned for Roles on The Hunger Games and Lost

<h2>FOX 2000's 'The Fault in Our Stars' is on track to becoming one of this year's most profitable movies.</h2>
Domestically, 'The Fault in Our Stars' has just made $100 million. According to <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2014/06/fault-in-our-stars-box-office-2014-most-profitable-movie/" target="_blank">Deadline</a>, the movie recently premiered in Brazil and despite the World Cup being in full swing, 'The Fault in Our Stars' is one of the most popular movies in the country. In 11 days the movie made more more money in Brazil than Twilight, The Hunger Games and Divergent. 

This will definitely set the careers fro the two young actors. Currently, Ansel Elgort will star in a movie about the famous Texas-born pianist who become extremely popular during the Cold War between U.S. and Russia. This is also great news for Lionsgate who has Shailene Woodley currently filming the Divergent sequel Insurgent. 

The movie was successful since The Fault in our Stars was a best-selling novel and had a large social media following.
<blockquote>Not only did Green have a best-seller, but he had own following from his YouTube channel, the Vlogbrothers, which he has been doing with his brother, Hank, for the past seven years. It has over 2.1M subscribers...as social media engagement for Fault was tracking off the charts. So from that, Green already had millions of followers on social media.</blockquote>
This may mark the start of more cancer related TV series, and movies. Fox has new TV series, <a title="FOX TV Pilot ‘Red Band Society’ is Seeking New Talent in Atlanta, Georgia" href="https://www.projectcasting.com/casting-calls-and-auditions/fox-tv-pilot-red-band-society-is-seeking-new-talent-in-atlanta-georgia/" target="_blank">The Red Band Society</a>, centers around daily lives of a group of teenagers living in a hospital who become unlikely friends. The depth of the unexpected friendships allows them to survive the challenges of growing up under such intense circumstances. With the recent success of 'The Fault in Our Stars' expect for this show to have a large social media and TV following.

How to Get Cast in Showtime's 'Three Women' Starring Shailene Woodley

<h2><a href="https://www.projectcasting.com/tag/shailene-woodley/">Shailene Woodley</a> shares how she approaches acting and what she's learned by working with professionals.</h2>
Shailene Woodley has appeared in several popular films such as ‘The Spectacular Now’ and ‘The Fault in Our Stars.’ She also worked on TV with the HBO hit drama ‘Big Little Lies.’ Her most recent movie is the romance drama ‘Endings, Beginnings,’ which was set to hit theaters in May but released digitally due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a way to promote the project, Woodley was interviewed by her co-star, Sebastian Stan, for <a href="https://www.interviewmagazine.com/film/shailene-woodley-sebastian-stan-endings-beginnings">Interview </a>magazine. Woodley opened up on her process to choose a project and what she learned from working with other actors.
Woodley says her decision to take a project comes down to her feeling after reading a script. She says,  “If I’m reading a story and I have butterflies in my stomach, I’m in. If I don’t, I’m not. There have been a few times when incredible opportunities have come around, and I have not had that gut reaction, and everyone around me has said, ‘You have to do this movie because it’s this director or it’s this actor.’ But I haven’t had that gut reaction, so I passed.”

Woodley also received praise for her performance in ‘Big Little Lies,’ which she received nominations for an Emmy and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress. Woodley says the series gave her the chance to work with Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman. As a result, she learned from that acting opportunity in ways that have impacted her career. 
“Working with Meryl [Streep] was fascinating because she has somehow mastered the art of performance, of knowing every single tick about her character, while also marrying that with complete and utter presence, which is a skill I don’t have yet. Nicole [Kidman] is very similar. They know inside and out who their characters are. That must come from experience. When you work with people who are better than you, or who you admire, you show up differently to set. And I have to say, I just f—ing love working with professionals. Whether you’re someone who’s been on one movie set or you’re Meryl Steep, that doesn’t matter to me. What matters is your sense of adoration and passion for the craft of acting. I get frustrated when I work with people who don’t seem to appreciate the gift that we’re given as actors to be able to express ourselves in this way. I just finished working with Jodie Foster, and there is no one on this planet like her.”
<a href="https://www.projectcasting.com/blog/news/shailene-woodley-acting/">Woodley recently opened up about why she previously took a break from acting.</a> <a href="https://www.projectcasting.com/tag/shailene-woodley/">Shailene Woodley</a> opened up about a terrifying physical situation she experienced in her early 20’s at the pinnacle of her acting career while making the Georgia-filmed “<a href="https://www.projectcasting.com/tag/divergent/">Divergent</a>” movies. In an interview with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/10/movies/shailene-woodley-endings-beginnings.html">the New York Times</a>‘, Woodley says she was “very, very sick,” forcing her to “let go” of her acting career and leading roles.
“I haven’t spoken much about this yet publicly, and I will take one day, but I was very, very sick in my early 20s. While I was doing the ‘Divergent’ movies and working hard, I also was struggling with a deeply personal, very scary physical situation,” she said. “Because of that, I said no to a lot of opportunities because I needed to get better, and those jobs ended up going to peers of mine who I love. They went on to a lot of success, but there was a mix of people saying, ‘You shouldn’t have let that go!’ or ‘You shouldn’t have been sick!’”

Woodley is currently starring in the romantic drama "Endings, Beginnings," which went straight to Video-on-demand this weekend. Following critically acclaimed roles in "The Descendants" and "The Spectacular Now," she landed the leading role in three "Divergent" movies. The actress has since worked on indie productions and TV shows, including "Big Little Lies." That said, according to her interview with the NYTimes, it did not come easy.

She explained passing on projects while taking care of herself “combined with my internal process of, ‘Am I going to survive what I’m going through right now and ever be healthy, or even have the opportunity to work on projects I’m passionate about again because of the situation I’m in?’ I was in a place where I had no choice but to just surrender and let go of my career, and it brought out this negative voice in my mind that kept spinning for years and years afterward.”

She says she is in a better place now. “Now I’m on the other side of it, thank God.” Her next big production is with Benedict Cumberbatch in the war drama "Prisoner 760". She will also appear in "The Last Letter From Your Lover," starring Felicity Jones.

Shailene Woodley Reveals Why She Took A Break from Acting

Several years ago, America's biggest obsession were young adult movie adaptations. The success of Twilight and The Hunger Games led Hollywood studios to the young adult section of Barnes and Noble looking for the next YA adaptation. But jumping on the bandwagon can result in unfortunate consequences. For example, the Divergent series starring Shailene Woodley was popular but failed to match Jennifer Lawrence's billion dollar Hunger Games success.

The third movie in the Divergent trilogy, Allegiant flopped at the box office. There was supposed to be the second part of Allegiant, but due to the disappointing return on investment, producers decided to turn it into a TV movie, or a television pilot to introduce a new series.

Vanity Fair reports that Woodley was asked on the red carpet for Big Little Lies on Tuesday if she will be involved in the Divergent TV series and she said: "No, I'm not going to be on the television show."

Woodley said the same thing last September in an interview with Screenrant, stating,  “I didn’t sign up to be in a television show. Out of respect to the studio and everyone involved, they may have changed their mind and may be doing something different, but I’m not necessarily interested in doing a television show.”
