Blumhouse sues Hulu over claims it got stiffed for trying to fix Boss Level – The A.V. Club

Frank Grillo and Mel Gibson in Boss LevelPhoto: Quantrell D. Colbert/Hulu How much is Blumhouse’s reputation as the go-to studio for quick, slightly dirty, and frequently successful genre filmmaking worth? That’s at the heart of a new legal complaint that Jason Blum’s studio has issued against both Hulu and Emmett Furla Oasis Films, the studio behind this year’s Frank Grillo action vehicle Boss Level. Remember Boss Level? Time loop action movie with a smattering of video game logic? Grillo keeps getting killed? Mel Gibson is in it as part of the “I’m a gritty action heavy now, so no one needs to look at the ‘Personal life’ section of my Wikipedia page anymore” portion of his career? “Success” is always a difficult thing to judge with a streaming project, but Boss Level certainly didn’...

Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Protects Against Delta Variant, Company Reports – The New York Times

The Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine is effective against the highly contagious Delta variant, even eight months after inoculation, the company reported on Thursday — a finding that should reassure the 11 million Americans who have gotten the shot. The vaccine showed a small drop in potency against the variant, compared with its effectiveness against the original virus, the company said. But the vaccine was more effective against the Delta variant than the Beta variant, first identified in South Africa — the pattern also seen with mRNA vaccines. Antibodies stimulated by the vaccine grow in strength over time, researchers also reported. The results were described in a news release, and the company said that both studies had been submitted for online publication on Thursday. One o...

Phylicia Rashad Walks Back Her Twitter Glee At Bill Cosby’s Release, But Gets Howard University Reprimand – Deadline

Former Cosby Show costar Phylicia Rashad, now a Howard University dean, has modified her gleeful reaction to news of Bill Cosby’s release from prison. But not before drawing criticism from her new academic colleagues. Cosby was sentenced to three to 10 years in prison in 2018 for sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004. He was released Wednesday after that conviction was overturned by Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court over a decades-old immunity agreement. Rashad, who played Cosby’s wife Clair Huxtable on the hit series, sent out a celebratory tweet on Wednesday when news arrived of Cosby’s freedom. “FINALLY!!!! A terrible wrong is being righted- a miscarriage of justice is corrected!” she tweeted with a photo of the 83-year-old comedian. She later walked back those com...
