Recently, actress Vasan spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the film, including her preparation for the character, how the costume was an important part of it, and working with Olivia Coleman. 

Based on the book Mustang Miracle by Humberto G. Garcia, which is based on a true story, The Long Game tells the story of J.B. Peña (Jay Hernandez), who in 1956 moved with his wife (Jaina Lee Ortiz) to Del Rio, Texas for a job as the superintendent of the school, but also because he dreamed of becoming a member of the all-white Del Rio Country Club. He is devastated when he’s denied entry because of his skin color, but when he meets a group of young Mexican-American golf caddies working at the club who have built their own course to teach themselves the sport, he is inspired. He convinces them to start a team for their high school, and eventually, despite having inferior equipment, they go on to compete against other affluent all-white teams and eventually win the 1957 Texas State High School Golf Championship, which broke barriers for Latino PGA golfers that followed. The film also stars Dennis Quaid, Cheech Marin, Julian Works, Brett Cullen, Oscar Nuñez, Richard Robichaux, and Paulina Chávez.

Tonight, the hilarious sitcom Lopez vs Lopez returns to NBC for all new episodes in season two. The series stars George Lopez and his daughter, Mayan Lopez, as fictionalized versions of themselves. Selenis Leyva stars as Rosie, Mayan’s mother and George’s ex-wife.

Last week, Lopez, Leyva, and Madrigal spoke with SciFi Vision about working on season two and what’s next for their characters, what they’ve learned working on the show, and what it’s like working with Lopez’s real life daughter.

Directed by Thea Sharrock, Wicked Little Letters, which is based on a stranger than fiction story, takes place in a 1920s English seaside town that is rocked by scandal. The film follows two neighbors, conservative Edith Swan, played by Olivia Coleman, and the foul-mouthed Irish migrant, Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and others in the town receive wickedly insulting letters full of profanity, Rose is accused and charged. However, as she awaits trial, as the women of the town, led by female Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan), try to find the truth, they find that things may not be what they seem.

Recently, star Coleman spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the hilarious film, where the actress talked about giggling on set as well as playing both the comedic and serious parts. “I love humor that's delivered with a straight face,” Coleman told the site. “[I] love it when the character is trying to show something, but what's coming out makes it funny. I love those juxtapositions…It's more fun, I think, to try and play more than one thing at once.”

Although the film takes place in the 1920s, it feels very relevant to today with anonymous trolling on the internet, and during the paired interview, director Sharrock talked about the human need to hurt someone. “[I]t's quite interesting to reflect on how far we've come in 100 years, and how, in some ways, it feels like we haven't learned much at all,” said the director. “…We go through moments [with] actually almost needing to hurt somebody else. It’s like, there is a need. What I'm interested in is where that need comes from, what is that about in somebody that it brings that out in them?”

Ben and Mei, inseparable best friends, have reached their limit with Mrs. Wheeler and her harsh teaching methods. She's threatened to fail everyone unless the suspected cheater confesses, causing frustration to boil over. In response, Mei hatches a plan to set up Mrs. Wheeler for a crime she didn't commit: the murder of a former West Greenview High School student.

Their scheme unfolds in The Prank, a comedy/horror indie film that hit theaters on March 15th. This long-awaited release had its world premiere at SXSW in 2022 and boasts a star-studded cast including the iconic Rita Moreno, along with Connor Kalopsis, Ramona Young, Kate Flannery, and Keith David.

In the film The Neon Highway, which is now in select theaters, singer/songwriter Wayne Collins (Rob Mayes) was about to make it in Nashville when a car crash put an end to his dream. Seven years later, working as an electrician in Georgia, he meets Claude Allen (Beau Bridges), a washed up country music legend. After playing his original song for Allen, the two return to Nashville hoping to score a record deal, but things the industry has changed since Allen was last there, and no one is not interested. They are out of luck unless Wayne can find a way to outsmart the system and get the song released. 

Last week, stars Bridges and Mayes spoke with SciFi Vision about their work on the film, including why it spoke to them, what it was like singing live for the movie, what they’ve learned about themselves, what it was like for Bridges working with his son Ezekiel in the film, and more.
