Camila Morrone Feared Being Series Lead After ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’

Published by Daniella Wilson

Camila Morrone may be leading Netflix’s new series, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, but she admits to having some fear of being at the top of the call sheet after working on Daisy Jones & the Six. In an interview with People magazine, Morrone reflected on working on the Prime Video series at the time which she starred in alongside Keough and Sam Claflin. “I saw Riley Keough and Sam Claflin go through hell on Daisy Jones & the Six,” Morrone said. She recalled “looking at Riley” as the series lead, and how she didn’t “know if she’s going to make it.” “She was withered. She was down,” Morrone said of her former co-star. She described Keough as a “real gangster” for pushing through it all. The 10-episode Prime Video series chronicles the renowned fictional band Daisy Jones & The Six as they find their way to success and instant fame in the 1970s. Keough and Claflin both sing the songs in the show and learned how to play the guitar. The cast also …

To hear the love songs tell it, finding one’s soulmate ought to be a warm, fuzzy, blissed-out experience. “How wonderful life is while you’re in the world,” croons Elton John. “You’re simply the best,” exclaims Tina Turner. “When you know you know,” sighs Taylor Swift. But try telling that to a nervous bride in the days leading up to her nuptials, as it dawns on her just how much of her future she’s staked on the bet that her betrothed really is The One. Netflix’s Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, from creator Haley Z. Boston (Brand New Cherry Flavor) and executive producers Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer (Strangers Things), takes those pre-wedding jitters and amplifies them to supernatural extremes, eventually winding to a surprisingly thoughtful, satisfyingly bloody take on the impossibility of absolute romantic certainty. Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen The Bottom Line A clever spin on prenuptial jitters. Airdate: Thursday, March 26 (Netflix)Cast: Camila Morrone, Adam DiMarco, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jeff Wilbusch, Karla Crome, Ted Levine, Gus Birney, Sawyer Fraser, …

Tom Hiddleston Returns on Amazon

Tom Hiddleston Returns on Amazon

When he originally adapted John le Carré’s The Night Manager for BBC One and AMC, David Farr reshaped a key narrative thread from the 1993 novel involving the covert arming of Colombian drug cartels in order to keep the action centered primarily in the Middle East. Presumably, that felt like a more geographically timely approach. A cerebral thriller boosted by the performances from Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie, The Night Manager was a huge hit in the UK and a major awards player in the States, but the six-episode series’ March 2016 finale felt generally resolved. AMC moved back in the le Carré catalogue to The Little Drummer Girl, another contained six-parter that I actually preferred for Florence Pugh’s star turn and the flashy direction from Park Chan-wook, though it was less of a smash. The Night Manager The Bottom Line Gets good once it stops living in the past.
