The plan, obviously, is for The Studio (Apple, 3.26.25), a half-hour series produced by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory and Frida Perez…the plan is to try and serve as a 21st Century, going-to-hell-in-a-handbasket sequel to Robert Altman‘s The Player (’92).

Rogen’s Matt Remick: “I got into this because I love movies. But now I have this fear that my job is to ruin them.”

Remick seems at least partly based upon Jason Blum, whose name signifies everything about Hollywood product that I hate. His Blumhouse output has long been regarded as a pox upon movies.

Who else could Remick be based upon? I want names.

Every single Hollywood hotshot over the last half-century has claimed to be a devotional Movie Catholic who’s trying to fulfill a kind of cinematic spiritual calling. Even Hollywood’s most despised movie executive, David Zaslav, has spoken this way from time to time.

Bryan Cranston is apparently playing the chief villain.

Rogen is only 42 and 1/2 years old, and he looks at least 58 or 60, minimally.
