As the summer movie season heated up with splashy red carpets, film critics set Twitter abuzz with complaints about the arrival of social media influencers at the premieres of “Barbie” and Disney’s “Haunted Mansion.”
The actors’ strike has amped up the controversy, with studios looking to find ways to bring excitement to events without stars. But the smartphone-wielding video creators also play into worries about the movie audience’s shifting media habits, as traditional reviews make way for short TikTok clips that play off film soundtracks and outfits.
It’s “weird” to see “influencers do red carpet interviews instead of journalists who have been on their grind for years and years and aren’t allowed the same opportunity,” tweeted independent film critic Shannon McGrew.

The CBC and BET+ are putting out another call for The Porter.
There’s no official announcement just yet, but the Canadian and U.S. TV platforms are set to renew the civil rights drama about 1920s Black train employees and their families in Montreal and Chicago for a second season.
Showrunner Annmarie Morais and director Charles Officer talked to The Hollywood Reporter as scripts are being readied to continue portraying Black train porters’ efforts to launch North America’s first Black labor union.
The second season will also take another step toward reframing Black Canadian history as the first Canadian drama to boast an all-Black creative team, on whose shoulders rest the pressure to succeed and create opportunities for others to tell their own stories that center Black identity.

BET+ is venturing into the historical/period pieces with this intriguing mini-series inspired by real events!
The Porter dives into the height of the North American railway system, mainly for Black workers who made their bread and butter in the transportation business as porters, a job that was one of the most common for Black men at the time.
And through what promises to be an enthralling series, The Porter draws from the formation of the first Black Union.
Through The Porter, we follow two train porters who were as close as ever, Junior Massey and Zeke Garrett.

Nichelle Nichols is about to retire from acting forever, but her final project will be a time-and-space-spanning adventure that will find her co-starring alongside a new actor, Loren Lott, playing her younger self. But, Lott is not playing a younger version of Nyota Uhura from Star Trek, but instead, a new sci-fi anti-hero called Ominara.
“What would Uhura’s character be like in the Mirror, Mirror universe?” Frank Zanca, producer of Renegades: Ominara tells Den of Geek. “Because Nichelle has Alzheimer’s and is retiring, we kind of wanted to do a send-off. Instead of Uhura, it’s Ominara, and she’s the captain of her own ship. She’s built herself into a pirate. And Nichelle is playing her older version, and she’s like the head of the underworld at that point in the future.”
Confused? Is Renegades: Ominara a Star Trek thing or what? The short answer is no.
