elizabethanism:“The meaning of a question is the method of answering it. Tell me how you are searching, and I will tell you what you are searching for.”- Wittgenstein
Here’s the logline and full synopsis: “What if late one snowy night you came face to face with someone from your long ago? Someone who once held your secrets, because once, long ago, that person held your heart.
Ex-lovers Willa (Ryan) and Bill (Duchovny) are reunited for the first time since their split decades prior when they both find themselves snowed in, in-transit, at an airport overnight. Willa is still the wilful, independent spirit she once was, free of any ties. Bill, recently separated, is reassessing his life and his relationships with his estranged wife and daughter. All each wants is to get home, but over the course of the night they find themselves at first reluctantly drawn together yet compelled to revisit their past, along with what could have been and what might well be again. But when the versions of their shared history don’t quite add up, where do they go from there?”
“What Happens Later” is based on a play called “Shooting Star” by Steven Dietz, who also co-wrote the screenplay for the film with playwright and novelist Kirk Lynn. Meg Ryan is also a co-writer on the script.
“She had an overwhelming desire to tell him, like the most banal of women. Don’t let me go, hold me tight, make me your plaything, your slave, be strong! But they were words she could not say.The only thing she said when he released her from his embrace was, “You don’t know how happy I am to be with you.” That was the most her reserved nature allowed her to express.”
Hi nonnie, it’s an online celebrity gossip account (IG, Reddit, Twitter) like yellow press but only on social media. It plays with the idea of being this one innocent Gossip Girl 2.0, knowing nothing and posting submissions of anon people who have seen a celebrity in the wild. It’s “toothless” gossiping with no real insider knowledge. But it’s indeed a real business. With own merch. Deuxmoi celeb events and all. A very cheap production of a tabloid magazine if you will.
We’ve also observed in the past two years (when the account blew up over the pandemic) that it’s not really only anon submissions but actually anon publicists who use the platform for their client’s visibility. Teasing upcoming projects or just dropping rumors to remind people of them. It’s very sufficient and cheap promo.
