'September 5' Covers Its Streaming Date

  Have a few Munich knacks. Paramount announced on Monday morning that Best Original Screenplay Oscar and Critics Choice nominee September 5 is headed to Paramount+ tomorrow, Tuesday February 25 in the United States and Canada. International rollout will, as usual, be revealed at a later date, but it never quite gets the coverage the domestic arrival to the platform does. The film was first given a limited release on December 13, and considering Sony Pictures ’s Saturday Night ’s limited release on September 27 was what brought it to Sony’s typical 120-day window for its films when it landed on Netflix on January 25 despite a wide release on October 11, it’s clearly the best way to gauge speed. And for Paramount’s 2024 slate, it’s actually a pretty slow 74 days, as even Sonic the Hedgehog 3 demonstrated a week ago that everyone else tends to be around 60 days, with a few films going 53. Sonic 3  opened a week later on December 20 and arrived on February 18. September 5 ...

'Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies' Tried To Mask The Absence Of Johnathan Nieves

 


It turns out that as the first season of the Paramount+ original series Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies wound down, T-Bird Richie Valdovinos wasn't really all there.

The series, a prequel to the film, chronicles the formation of the only girl gang at Rydell High to shake up the school's hierarchy. Valdovinos, played by Johnathan Nieves, was a main character who was the older brother of Olivia, a founding Pink Ladies member played by Cheyenne Isabel Wells, and one of Jane's two love interests. The ten-episode first season ended on June 1, but it was two days later when Martin Billany, better known as LittleKuriboh and creator of Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged noticed something peculiar by the eighth episode, "Or at the High School Dance…". It appeared, and is in fact pretty apparent that they photoshopped a CG still image of his face onto the head of a body double for multiple shots. Attention spread pretty quickly

It was discovered that he was unavailable for particular scenes, so production, therefore, had to take measures to maintain the character's presence in the final episodes. The exact process is unconfirmed, as none of the involved parties have chosen to comment. Those being Paramount+ and Paramount Television Studios, who declined, and Nieves's representatives, who did not immediately respond to the request. He's also filmed from behind rather often. These tactics do not last long, as what ensues following the scene made an example of is pretty definitive Richie is arrested and sent to jail and is last seen being shipped off to military school, once again only seen from behind. By the time you're reading this or rereading this, the one season of Grease: Rise of The Pink Ladies is probably already gone from Paramount+.
