Sabrina Carpenter Eyed for Mamma Mia 3 and Frankly, We Deserve That Chaos

Sabrina Carpenter Eyed for Mamma Mia 3 and Frankly, We Deserve That Chaos

Yahoo2 days ago

Clear the stage and pass the prosecco because the gods of glitter have spoken. According to Deadline, the next pastel-drenched chapter of the Mamma Mia! cinematic universe may star none other than pop's most perfectly petty princess: Sabrina Carpenter. The Disney-to-diva pipeline has never been so chaotically chic.
You thought the Mamma Mia mania was over? Oh, sweetie. The musical is strutting back onto Broadway like she owns the street and honestly, she does. Beginning August 2, the Winter Garden Theatre becomes ground zero for emotional breakdowns set to Voulez-Vous. The show's officially relaunching just after George Clooney's Good Night and Good Luckplay closes because juxtaposition is couture.
And come August 14, the gala opening will be full of teeth, tits, and ticket sales.
Judy Craymer, producer, pop whisperer, and queen of the glitter-industrial complex, sat down with Deadline to spill the tea and immediately scalded everyone. Yes, she confirmed a possible Mamma Mia! TV adaptation. No, she didn't give us dates. Yes, she made it clear she's still that b*tch in charge.
And then she dropped a bombshell: Sabrina Carpenter is on her mood board.
When prompted about casting for a future film, Craymer didn't hesitate. 'She'd be a goddess,' she said about Sabrina. 'Or some relation who would look very much like Meryl Streep.'
What does that even mean? Who cares. We want it. Carpenter in chiffon, writhing on a jetty in slow-motion while singing S.O.S. is the cinema we deserve.
And let's be real. Sabrina's been auditioning for this since Espresso dropped.
Deadline got Craymer waxing philosophical about ABBA's eternal chokehold on the human psyche. 'The Sabrina Carpenter generation and Dua Lipa's and even Pink's are all influenced by the songs.'
Translation. Every woman with a Spotify Premium account is ready to scream Gimme Gimme Gimme into a karaoke mic while blackout drunk. This isn't nostalgia. It's bloodline.
Let's not pretend this franchise ever cared about plot. The first movie was about a woman who invites three former flings to her daughter's wedding and never tells her which one is the dad. The sequel is literally a prequel and a sequel at the same time. Continuity? Never heard of her.
And that's why it works. Mamma Mia! thrives on emotional terrorism and ABBA harmonies. It's cinema for the deranged and Carpenter is more than qualified to lead that cult.
She's not just a pop star. She's a persona. Sabrina Carpenter has built her empire on slick vocals, tongue-in-cheek sensuality, and the kind of unbothered confidence that makes straight men nervous. She's Disney-bred, Billboard-certified, and dressed like she's ready to slap someone in the face with a bedazzled clutch.
Let her run barefoot through the Greek islands with three boyfriends and a dream. Let her cry-sing Slipping Through My Fingers. Let her wear Meryl's wig.
This might still be a rumor, but it's one we're choosing to manifest with full delusion. Carpenter in Mamma Mia 3 isn't just good casting. It's justice.
The musical is rebirthing. The TV show is lurking. The legacy is alive. And if Judy Craymer knows what's good for her, Sabrina's already been measured for her Donna Sheridan overalls.
Because darling, the next generation of ABBA-twinks, TikTok girls, and terminally online sad girls is waiting. They want chaos. They want vocals. They want Carpenter.

‘Abbott Elementary' Season 4 Took Pains Not to ‘Phone It in': ‘We Want Every Episode to Be a Surprise'

While 'Abbott Elementary' creator and star Quinta Brunson is a noted scholar of classic sitcoms, she does not envy the episode orders of yore. 'Some of my favorite shows had 30 to 40 episode seasons, which is insane,' said the Emmy winner, noting her respect for those older series' hustle. 'But I cannot tell you how hard it is to not make absolute garbage. You start going [into Episode] 22 like 'Honestly, I could phone it in.' We've seen other shows do it. We don't want to do that. We want to continue to make good television. We want every episode to be a surprise. We want you to not [say] 'I'm going to go back to the tired episode of the tired show.' We would like to keep it compelling.' In an event giving the audience a peek inside the 'Abbott Elementary' writers room, as part of IndieWire's Pass the Remote FYC series, produced in partnership with Disney, Brunson and executive producers Patrick Schumacker, Justin Halpern, and Brian Rubenstein, plus co-executive producer Brittani Nichols joined IndieWire's Awards Editor Marcus Jones for a discussion about the show was able to navigate several changes with Season 4, including more episodes, and a big change to the group dynamics. More from IndieWire 'Mountainhead': Jesse Armstrong Discusses the DOGE-Inspired Dark Second Act Turn and Surprising Final Scene 'Outlander' Creators Talk Season 7 Highlights and Reveal Why They Had to Make a Big Change to Jamie & Claire's Reunion Love Scene At the panel, which took place at the Vidiots Foundation in Los Angeles on Tuesday, May 20, Halpern shared that conversations around how much of the show should focus on the blossoming relationship between Brunson and Tyler James Williams' characters Janine and Gregory has been a bit of a tug of war from the beginning. 'From the very first time we talked about [the show] with Quinta, she was like, 'I don't want this to be the Janine and Gregory show. I want it to be an ensemble.' And let me tell you the notes that we would get sometimes from the executives early on was like, 'Can we get more Janine and Gregory?'' He added, 'They wanted it so bad, and we had to push back and be like, 'The show is going to be stronger in the long run.'' Despite the pair finally being a couple in Season 4, the show still managed to spotlight its other characters like Principal Ava (Janelle James) throughout its 22 episodes, an effort that is core to the show's DNA. 'You go back to the Bible of the show, of why you created it. And as we start Season 5, I in my head go, 'What is this show about? It's about teachers in Philadelphia trying to make the best out of what they have.' And so we couldn't let that change to 'This show is about Janine and Gregory', or 'This show is about Ava,' or 'This show is about Barbara.' When you have an ensemble, it has to continue to focus on each character,' said Brunson. The executive producers also highlight that one of the benefits of having a 22-episode season is how that inclusive ethos extends behind the scenes as well. 'It's really important to us to be able to give people their first opportunities, people who are generally looked over. And because we have 22 episodes, we have four assistants who are now on staff of the show, a writer's PA that gets to write an episode of the show, we have first AD's getting to direct,' said Halpern. 'Because we do 22 episodes, and a lot of other shows don't, we are able to actually bring people along and start a bunch of careers.' For instance, Season 4 saw both Schumacker and Nichols make their directorial debuts on the episodes 'The Deli' and 'Music Class,' respectively. While Schumacker shared that directing had been his initial passion, delayed by his writing duties alongside Halpern, Nichols revealed that she had never even thought about directing until she worked alongside 'Abbott Elementary' director and executive producer Randall Einhorn. 'I just was very talkative, and had a lot of opinions, and things that I wanted to get. And he just was like, 'Do you want to direct?' And I just said 'Yes' in the moment, and then we sort of built off of that,' she said. 'Truly, it starts with that question, of just someone being willing to see you, and put attention on you, and ask you the thing that a lot of people in this industry won't ask you. And that is how it came to be, truly, was just this old white guy being like, 'What's going on with you over here?'' As for how 'Abbott Elementary' continues to foster an environment where everyone is seen and heard, despite a rigorous work schedule, Rubenstein said, 'It starts from the top. These are the most generous people I've ever worked with … It sounds ridiculous, but it's true, everyone is so nice and amazing on this show, and it's just been the best experience of my career, and I love coming to work.'

Meta's reportedly shopping for exclusive content on its upcoming VR headset

The Wall Street Journal reports Meta is in talks with Disney and A24 to try and secure exclusive streaming content for a new headset it's developing. WSJ says Meta's new device is a glasses-like headset codenamed 'Loma,' with an external puck you slip into your pocket. Meta is reportedly seeking new and existing licensed content that would be exclusive to its platform on VR or as timed exclusives. That puck design sounds like Meta's recently rumored 'Puffin' headset, which is reportedly in development and could succeed the Quest 3 and Quest 3S VR headsets. UploadVR described Puffin as an extremely light open-periphery headset with a tethered compute puck, and Loma could very well be Puffin, or become it at some point. Meta's own Andrew 'Boz' Bosworth has said publicly that Meta has various prototypes in development at all times, including ones that never see the light of day, and after the WSJ published its report Wednesday, he reposted his statement about prototypes from last fall that adds '...stories based on chatter about one individual decision will never give the real picture.' Puffin, Loma, or other similar options could be in one of the prototyping stages Bosworth discussed with The Verge's own Alex Heath last October. Either way, WSJ mentions Meta's plan for Loma would set a price that's 'more than the $300 starting price for a Quest, but less than the $3,500 base price of a Vision Pro, according to some of the people.'
