'GLOW' comic book to launch in March
Netflix's retro wrestling comedy "GLOW" is set to have its own comic book series which will come out in March next year. IDW Publishing on Monday announced a four-issue comic book series based on the show, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The comic book will offer an original story spinning out from the critically acclaimed series starring Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin and Marc Maron. Written by author Tini Howard with art by Hannah Templer, the comic book GLOW will be overseen by the show's co-creators, Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, in an official capacity as executive producers. "I'm more than just a GLOW fan, I'm a wrestling fan, too. I've written wrestling comics before, and I adore it. Wrestling and comic books are a natural fit for more than just tights and fights. "Each of the gorgeous ladies has either developed her own character or adapted to one thrust upon her, and making that identity her own is not dissimilar to, say, putting on a bat costume," Howard said.

There is a reinvention of consumer: Anil Kapoor
Actor Anil Kapoor says he has known for a while that Indian audiences have evolved as they can easily differentiate between an old-wine-in-the-new-bottle story and something which feels like a freshly brewed coffee. The actor, who is one of the producers of Netflix's new Original "Selection Day", believes an adaptation of a book should retain the qualities of the source but should also resonate with the modern day and well aware audience. Netflix's 'Selection Day' is an adaptation of Aravind Adiga's novel of the same name and follows the story of two teenagers, destined for greatness in cricket, and their overbearing, obsessive father. "There is a reinvention of consumer. The consumer is changing. You have to be aware of changing taste of the consumer also. That is one of the reason we have bought so many rights of books which we are hopefully going to adapt. Otherwise, what happens is that people say that they are getting the same kind of content again and again," Kapoor said in a ...

Engelhardt, now 59, opened up about her alleged affair with Allen in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. She said she chose to come forward now after reevaluating parts of her relationship with the famous director. "What made me speak is I thought I could provide a perspective. I'm not attacking Woody.
