Jonathan Tropper has built his career around characters who walk the thin line between flawed humanity and outright chaos, whether in the pulpy B-movie action thrills of "Banshee," the martial arts drama "Warrior," or the family dysfunction of "This Is Where I Leave You." Now, with his latest Apple TV+ series, "Your Friends & Neighbors," Tropper heads to wealthy suburbia, exploring scandal, betrayal, and the hidden dangers lurking behind the facade of a seemingly perfect community. On the Bingeworthy podcast, Tropper joined host Mike DeAngelo to discuss his darkly comedic drama, collaborating with Jon Hamm, the show's thematic ties to classic suburban films, and even his upcoming "Star Wars" project with director Shawn Levy."Your Friends & Neighbors" follows Andrew "Coop" Cooper (Jon Hamm), a hedge fund manager recently disgraced and fired, whose life unravels further after his divorce. Desperate to maintain his lifestyle, Coop turns to robbing the homes of his wealthy neighbors in the affluent Westmont Village—only to discover that the secrets hidden behind these upscale doors may be far more dangerous than he anticipated. The ensemble cast also includes Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, Mark Tallman, and more.

Chris Hemsworth is set to star in and produce The Corsair Code, a high-octane sci-fi mystery adventure written by Jonathan Tropper, known for Warrior and The Adam Project. Apple Original Films has acquired the rights, ensuring a theatrical release before it hits Apple TV+. Hemsworth's recent projects include the critically-acclaimed but financially underwhelming Furiosa and the Extraction series on Netflix. Additional casting for The Corsair Code is ongoing, and while the plot remains under wraps, the film is highly anticipated by sci-fi fans.
Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes Last week, just two weeks ahead of the studio's return to San Diego Comic Con and the release of their sole theatrical outing for the year, Marvel surprised fans by releasing the teaser trailer for Captain America: Brave New World. Clocking in at just under two minutes, this first look is chock full of characters, set pieces and action, with a tense political atmosphere on display that certainly harkens back to 2014's much beloved The Winter Soldier. Marvel Animation has clearly found a voice they have a lot of confidence in, as What If…? series writer Matthew Chauncey has been hired to write the third season of X-Men '97. He replaces Beau DeMayo who wrote the incredibly well received first season of the animated revival as well as the yet to air second season, before being infamously fired by Disney ahead of the show's premiere. Chauncey previously stepped up into a leadership position when he replaced What If…?'s A.C. Bradley as the head writer for season 3. Beau DeMayo received a lot of retroactive praise for not shying away from social issues and commentary with his first season of X-Men '97. Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy's career seems to continue to be on the upswing, as his Star Wars film locked down a writer, Levy's frequent collaborator, Jonathan Tropper. Tropper wrote 2022's The Adam Project and is well established in the TV world, having created both Warrior and Banshee, as well as working as the showrunner for Apple TV's See. There are a lot of Star Wars films in the works these days, many of which were announced prior to Levy's and have yet to receive such significant updates. Despicable Me 4 held the top spot at the box office last weekend, becoming the first animated franchise to cross the $5 billion threshold. Newcomer Longlegs took second place with an impressive $22.6 million debut, setting a record for indie distributor Neon. Warner Brothers and Paramount have unveiled the first trailer for Watchmen Chapter 1, the first of two upcoming animated films set to release digitally on August 13th. The voice cast features Matthew Rhys as Nite Owl, Katee Sackhoff as the second Silk Spectre, Titus Welliver as Rorshach, and Michael Cerveris as Doctor Manhattan, among other notable actors. Michael Bay is in talks to direct Barbaric, a fantasy series for Netflix based on the Vault Comics title. It will star Sam Claflin and Patrick Stewart with X-Men First Class screenwriter Sheldon Turner writing and executive producing the series. Prime Video has ordered The Greatest, a limited series about Muhammad Ali from executive producers Michael B. Jordan and Ben Watkins with Jaalen Best starring as Ali. It is the first authorized scripted series with access to Ali's estate. Apple TV+ released a teaser for Severance Season 2, which premieres on January 17 and will include 10 episodes that release on Fridays weekly. A prequel series to Martin, the show that ran on Fox from 1992 to 1997 and starred Martin Lawrence is in development and will be titled Young Martin. Lawrence's production company RunTelDat will produce. Filming on Euphoria's third season is slated to begin in January 2025 — just about three years after the premiere of season two. HBO says all of the principal cast is set to return, including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, and Hunter Schafer. Shelley Duvall who starred in seven films directed by her mentor, Robert Altman and is best known for her role in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, died last Thursday. She was 75. Shannen Doherty, who starred on Beverly Hills 90210 and Charmed, has died after a long battle with cancer. She was 53. On Monday, Netflix released a behind the scenes video of production of the final season of Stranger Things featuring looks at the set, returning cast, and new characters. The series is currently expected to debut sometime in 2025.

Ruth Wilson is our guest this week, chatting to Boyd about The Woman In The Wall. Plus James gets to geek out to spectacular effect when he talks to Warrior creator Jonathan Tropper, who not only created the show Banshee but does a little 'Banshee' for us as well. The team also takes a look at the BBC's new off-beat series The Following Events Are Based On A Pack Of Lies, as well as tackling a couple of returning series in the form of ITV's The Tower and BBC3's Starstruck. Plus we mull over the best single seasons of television and ruminate on the enduring appeal of Friends.
Jonathan Tropper, writer, producer, and creator of hit HBO Max show Warrior, sits down with Bridget to discuss how the show that Bruce Lee developed finally made it to the small screen, how it nearly died on the vine after two seasons at Cinemax, and how the pandemic and finding popularity on the HBO Max app led to a revival and a season 3. They discuss what's happening in the industry as a whole, how the economic model of pilots has changed, how you don't really know what's succeeding anymore because the streamers don't give you the data, and the importance and effects of the expansion of representation in the industry. They cover the historical time period in which the show is set, how this country has never really figured out its relationship with immigrants, the themes explored in the show that are still relevant today, the graphic novel vibe, how they tackled language, why swagger was the most important component of the main character, how Jonathan got his start in the industry, and why one of the skills of a showrunner is being really nice to everyone on your crew because you need everyone really badly. Watch all 3 seasons of Warrior on Max now.Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity. On Walk-Ins Welcome, she talks about the beautiful failures and frightening successes of her own life and the lives of her guests. She doesn't conduct interviews—she has conversations. Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there's no greater mistake than hiding from it all. By embracing it all, and celebrating it with the stories she'll bring listeners, she believes that our lowest moments can be the building blocks for our eventual fulfillment.Beyond Parody with Bridget Phetasy is a reader-supported publication.

Als er een boek is dat je niet kon wegleggen en je bent geïnteresseerd in schrijven, lees dat boek dan meteen nog een keer. De tweede keer word je minder meegesleept door het verhaal, en daardoor zie je beter wat de schrijver heeft gedaan om jou in de ban van het boek te krijgen. Een van de dingen die je altijd vindt in steengoeie romans, zijn superconcrete details. Stel bijvoorbeeld dat jij in je contentmarketing teruggaat naar je kindertijd. Je vertelt wat je vroeger het allersmerigste vond om te eten. Je moest van je moeder je bordje leegeten, maar dat lukte niet omdat je ervan ging kokken. De meeste amateurschrijvers zouden dan zoiets schrijven als: “Ik lustte vroeger geen gekookte andijvie. Dat vond ik echt goor als kind”. Ze denken dan dat ze superconcrete details hebben gegeven. Want ze hebben toch precies gezegd wat ze niet lustten? Ze hebben niet geschreven: “Ik lustte geen andijvie”, nee ze zijn concreter geweest: “Ik lustte geen gekookte andijvie”. Superconcreet toch? Ze krijgen punten voor het proberen, maar heb jij als lezer gevoeld hoe goor ze die gekookte andijvie vonden? Ben je een beetje teruggedeinsd? Kreeg je een herinnering aan het eten waar jij zelf van kokhalsde? Waarschijnlijk niet, en dat komt doordat ze vergeten zijn om hun zintuigen te beschrijven. Ze hadden bijvoorbeeld kunnen schrijven: “Als ik vroeger gekookte andijvie kreeg opgeschept, dan kneep mijn keel zich dicht en kwam mijn maag een beetje omhoog. Ik was verder geen moeilijke eter, maar gekookte andijvie smaakte voor mij als bittere, warme snot.” Sorry voor het vieze verhaaltje. Even om je het verschil te laten voelen: superconcrete details komen meer binnen als de schrijver zijn zintuigen beschrijft. Jonathan Tropper is mijn nieuwe favoriete romanschrijver, en een van de dingen die zijn boeken steengoed maken is precies dat. Ik citeer een fragment uit een van zijn ontroerende en hilarische ‘dude lit'-romans, getiteld ‘This is where I leave you': “Phillip, my baby brother, who used to climb into bed with me, smelling of lavender baby shampoo, and press his smooth, rounded cheek against mine, gently pulling at my arm hairs as I told him stories.” Als je haar op je armen hebt, dan voel je nu mee met de hoofdpersoon. Omdat je ook hebt meegemaakt dat je neefje, nichtje of je eigen kind tegen je aangeknuffeld zat en aan je armhaartjes trok. Dat is de reden dat zintuiglijke details snoeihard binnenkomen bij je lezer. Superconcrete beschrijvingen van een gevoel zijn voor je hersenen bijna hetzelfde als de fysieke ervaring. Maak daar gebruik van als je bijvoorbeeld nieuwsbrieven schrijft voor je klanten. En geniet ervan, want dit is superleuk om mee te spelen. Nog meer tips voor betere e-mailnieuwsbrieven geef ik volgende week in een gratis online seminar: ‘Easy money met entertaining e-mails'. Ik laat onder andere zien hoe je e-mails schrijft waardoor klanten zich bescheuren, druk gaan knikken met hun hoofd, of moeten slikken. Het is woensdag 14 december van 10 tot 12 uur en je kijkt via je laptop. Reserveer hier je plek: https://www.schrijvenvoorinternet.nl/wbg-easy-money-met-entertaining-emails-aanmelden/ Kun je niet op dat tijdstip, meld je dan toch aan want ik stuur je een aantal tips uit het seminar achteraf ook gratis per post toe.

In a dystopian 2050, pilot Adam Reed steals his time jet and escapes through time on a rescue mission to 2018. However, he accidentally crash-lands in 2022 instead where Adam meets his 12-year-old self who is struggling with the recent death of their father Louis. Adam reluctantly enlists his younger self's help to repair his jet and reveals that he is looking for his wife, Laura, who was supposedly killed in a crash while on a mission to 2018.Adam is chased to 2022 by Maya Sorian, the leader of the dystopian world and her lieutenant Christos who attempt to apprehend Adam and take him back to 2050. The Adams are rescued by Laura who reveals that she had escaped an assassination attempt on her and was left stranded in the past. Laura had learned that Sorian had traveled back in time and altered the past in order to give herself control of time travel and the future. Laura urges Adam to travel back to 2018 and destroy time travel, which was created by his father Louis, in order to set things right and save the future. Sorian attacks and Laura sacrifices herself so that the two Adams can escape. Chased by Sorian and with only enough power for one time jump, Adam and his younger self jump back to 2018.In 2018, the two Adams attempt to enlist Louis' help, but he refuses out of concern for the scientific impact on the timestream. The younger Adam confronts his future self about his bitterness and anger and realizes that the source of it is his lingering pain over their father's death. As the two launch an attack to destroy Louis' particle accelerator, Louis changes his mind and joins the mission, having them instead retrieve the hard drive containing the only copy of his algorithm that enables time travel. A battle erupts between the Adams, Louis, Sorian, her younger self, Sorian's soldiers and Christos, resulting in the particle accelerator overloading. Sorian attempts to shoot Louis with an armor-piercing bullet, but the magnetic field of the accelerator instead diverts the bullet, causing it to kill the younger Sorian, erasing Sorian from existence as the Reeds flee.With time travel destroyed and the future set right, Louis chooses not to learn of his own fate and enjoys a game of catch with both versions of his son before the Adams are returned to their own times. In 2022, Adam lets go of his bitterness and anger and reconciles with his mother whom he has been distant from ever since Louis' death. Years later, an adult and much happier Adam meets Laura in a situation mirroring their first meeting in the original timeline.★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This episode of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast is something of a "stunt special" as we have two interviews. The first is with Thom Khoury WIlliams, stunt coordinator on DC's 'Doom Patrol', and Brett Chan who coordinates the martial arts epic 'Warrior'.Up first is Thom Khoury WIlliams, who has hundreds of credits to his name as a stunt performer from shows such as '24', 'NCIS', 'Lost', 'The Walking Dead' and 'The Vampire Diaries', to movies such as 'Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2', 'Spider-Man: Homecoming', 'Ant-Man and the Wasp', 'Baby Driver' and 'The Matrix Resurrections'. However, we're here mainly to talk to him about his work as a stunt coordinator on the wonderfully bonkers 'Doom Patrol'.'Doom Patrol' reimagines one of DC's strangest group of heroes – Cliff Steele aka Robotman (Brendan Fraser), Larry Trainor aka Negative Man (Matt Bomer), Rita Farr aka Elasti-Woman (April Bowlby), Jane aka Crazy Jane (Diane Guerrero), and Victor Stone aka Cyborg (Joivan Wade) – Each member of the Doom Patrol suffered a horrible accident that gave them superhuman abilities but also left them scarred and disfigured. They have been brought together by Niles Caulder aka The Chief (Timothy Dalton) to form a, somewhat dysfunctional, family of superheroes.Thom's other stunt coordinator work includes the Marvel/Netflix show 'The Punisher', which landed him his first Emmy nomination. He also worked on the pilot of HBO's astonishing 'Watchmen' series, and was responsible for the motion capture coordination on a number of video games including 'Middle-Earth: Shadow of War', and a number of the 'Halo' games.The second interview is with Brett Chan, stunt coordinator on the martial arts epic 'Warrior'.From ‘Banshee' creator Jonathan Tropper and ‘Fast and the Furious' Justin Lin, based on an original concept and treatment by the legendary Bruce Lee, ‘Warrior‘ is a gritty, action-packed crime drama set during the brutal Tong Wars of San Francisco's Chinatown in the late 19th century. The series follows Ah Sahm (Andrew Koji), a martial arts prodigy who emigrates from China to San Francisco under mysterious circumstances. After proving his worth as a fighter, Ah Sahm becomes a hatchet man for the Hop Wei, one of Chinatown's most powerful tongs (Chinese organized crime family).In the interview, we discuss getting emotion into the fight sequences and evolving the action to drive the plot. We also discuss getting in those "Bruce Lee-isms" without coming on too strong, and sending lead actor Andrew Koji to China to study karate and fight techniques, to bring culturally authentic fight choreography to the show.Brett also worked on CW's 'Kung Fu', so we chat about the differences between the two shows, and worked on two seasons of 'Snowpiercer', which comes with its own challenges of creating fight sequences in incredibly tight spaces. His latest project saw him jump in on the upcoming Paramount+ series 'Halo', based on the video game franchise, as he tackled the action there with a very quick turnaround.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown.

We chat about the season 2 premiere of See, Apple TV's futuristic show starring Jason Momoa, now being helmed by none other than Jonathan Tropper. With a seriously deep tapestry of world-building, but some missing plot direction, we were excited to see where Tropper would be guiding the show. Thankfully we are excited to see that our faith appears to be rewarded in spades! It may be bloodier than we expected, but the direction is clearer, the world is being fleshed out and we're gaining some of our Warrior favorites.
Welcome everyone to a very special episode of the It Matters To Me Podcast! My guest today is the one and only Matthew Norman. Author of “Domestic Violets”, “We're All Damaged”, “Last Couple Standing”, and his newest release “All Together Now”. You know what's really hard, trying to sound articulate and poignant to someone who makes their living crafting concise but impactful stories, but Matthew couldn't have been more fun to talk to. We hit all sorts of topics that cover his progression as an author over the years and what it's been like to learn how to write through lived experiences. Often compared to other great authors like Jonathan Tropper or Richard Russo, Matthew has made a name for himself in the literary world that has stood the test of time. In fact, my introduction to him came years ago when he signed a copy of one of his books as a gift after I just cold emailed him out of the blue. Matthew couldn't be a more likeable person and I was so truly honored to have him on the show. I highly highly highly recommend you pick up all of his books because they're just so comedic and meaningful.

She plays the role of a wife (Chris) who’s relationship is put to the test when they both fall for the same professor. Hahn also recently has completed production starring in the Max Wrinkler indie coming-of-age film, “Flower,” opposite Adam Scott, Zoey Deutch and Tim Heidecker, set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.

My chat with Writer and Showrunner JONATHAN TROPPER on: Season 2 of his Cinemax martial arts series WARRIOR Looking back at his series BANSHEE and its... passionate fanbase. A look ahead at Season 2 of AppleTV's Jason Mamoa series SEE. And his Ryan Reynolds + Shawn Levy movie that's prepping for production. Catch WARRIOR Friday nights at 10pm on CINEMAX.
Cinemax's Warrior was one of my favorite series last year as a fan and as a critic. Based on an original concept by Bruce Lee, the show was created by Jonathan Tropper and Justin Lin and blends drama, the Old West, and martial arts. Set during the Tong Wars of San Francisco’s Chinatown in the second half of the 19th century. it follows martial arts prodigy Ah Sahm, a Chinese immigrant who arrives in the City of Lights under mysterious circumstances. Once he proves his prowess as a fighter, Sahm becomes a hitman for one of Chinatown's most powerful organized crime families. That said, while Ah Sahm is the central character of Warrior, he is surrounded by powerful female characters that push the story of the series farther and offer up a look at the intersections of race, gender, and class. This is no truer than in Ah Toy, the most powerful businesswoman in Chinatown, who just so happens to be a madam. Portrayed by Olivia Cheng, Ah Toy is a powerful woman who understands how the world sees her, both within her Chinese American community and among the white men she deals with. I was lucky enough to get the chance to speak with Olivia Cheng before the launch of Warrior Season 2. In this interview, we discuss the series' relevancy during the current rise of anti-Asian hate crimes and how the series introduces audiences to Asian American history. Warrior does this in multiple ways, but referencing specifical historical moments to Ah Toy herself, a character based on a real woman of the same name. A self-proclaimed history buff, Cheng explains how she knew the history of San Francisco ahead of shooting the series, but dove even further into by learning more about Ah Toy, of which there isn't much written from her perspective.
The program all about TV. Our guests: Jonathan Tropper, creator-executive producer of Warrior, Cinemax's Bruce Lee-inspired drama series that begins its second season next month; Mitch Lusas and Tom Dever, director of product and head of writer success respectively for Coverfly, the organization behind annual event Pitch Week, and Rob Silverstein, executive producer and showrunner of People (The TV Show), the new daily entertainment program launching September 14 on TV stations and the People TV programming service, distributed through smart TV sets and devices..
Chen Tang | ActorChen Ying Tang (born 18 July 1988) has an international background that instilled in him early a lifelong love and curiosity for different cultures, peoples, and experiences. As a Chinese citizen and US Permanent Resident, and fluent in both Mandarin and English, he has been able to bridge a gap between both Hollywood and China during his career.He has acted in numerous films and television series, most recently as "Yao" in the much-anticipated Disney live-action remake of Mulan (2020) directed by Niki Caro, and as the main cast member "Hong" of the Bruce Lee inspired Cinemax show Warrior (2019) from Jonathan Tropper and Justin Lin. Other recurring credits include Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013), Bosch (2014), Grey's Anatomy (2005), and Being Mary Jane (2013), among others.Born in Kobe, Japan, and spending his childhood in Guangxi, China, Chen Tang belongs to the ethnic minority Zhuang group from Southern China. His parents were trained as medical doctors in China, and among the first government-sponsored international students to leave the Mainland during the re-opening of China in the 1980s. His parents lived in Japan for almost six years, during which Chen was raised by his grandmother back in China while they pursued their doctorates there. After immigrating to the United States, Chen's family settled in the Deep South in Memphis, Tennessee. Not knowing anything different, his first accent in English was a natural Southern accent, which for some reason always surprises people to hear. Though he always stayed connected to his Chinese roots, and often revisited China, he still feels very much rooted to the Southern culture he grew up in.Chen has great respect for the men and women in the armed forces, no matter the country. Coming from a military family (his grandfather and several relatives serving in the Chinese People's Liberation Army), he once had aspirations of being a soldier. But soon falling in love with acting instead, he went off to Boston, and then later New York City to pursue his craft. Sporadic work began to come his way on the New York stage, in television, and independent films, and he eventually made the move to Los Angeles to pursue his passion in front of the camera. Perhaps due to his varied travels and background, Chen has consistently been noted for a "rare, chameleon-like ability to transform" in his work, resulting in many roles that appear, sound, and feel very distinct from each other.
