Will Forte Set to Star in Obamas-Produced Series BODKIN
Will Forte is set to star in Netflix‘s upcoming series BODKIN, the first drama series from Barack Obama and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions. According to the logline, the series is “a darkly comedic thriller about a motley crew of podcasters who set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of three strangers in an idyllic, coastal Irish town. But once they start pulling at threads, they discover a story much bigger and weirder than they could have ever imagined. As our heroes try to discern fact from fiction — about the case, about their colleagues, and, most painfully, themselves — the series challenges our perception of truth and exposes the stories we tell ourselves to justify our beliefs or validate our fears.” Forte will portray protagonist Gilbert Power in the ...

Guillermo Del Toro Shares First-Look Stills of Stop-Motion Pinocchio
No lies here: This December, Guillermo del Toro’s stop-motion Pinocchio adaptation will come to life on Netflix.
