Naman Ramachandran After 10 years of living with characters he created on the page, Soman Chainani, author of the bestselling “The School for Good and Evil” series of novels, is delighted to see his world come to life. The Netflix film “The School for Good and Evil,” directed by Paul Feig, had a glitzy Los Angeles premiere on Oct. 18 and began streaming worldwide the following day. It follows best friends Sophie and Agatha who find themselves on opposing sides of a modern fairy tale when they’re swept away into an enchanted school where young heroes and villains are trained to protect the balance of good and evil. The cast includes Sophia Anne Caruso, Sofia Wylie, Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Flatters, Kit Young, Peter Serafinowicz, Rob Delaney, Mark Heap, Patti LuPone and Rachel Bloom, with Kerry Washington and Charlize Theron.

When Netflix was looking to shoot its Paul Feig-directed fantasy-adventure The School for Good and Evil, at its Shepperton Studios hub just outside of London in 2020, there was no space to house the ambitious young adult project in the Surrey-based facility. In a first, the busy streamer decided to cross the Irish Sea and film the Charlize Theron and Kerry Washington starrer in Northern Ireland. 

Inspired by the young adult novel of the same name by Soman Chainani, the latest from Paul Feig, “The School for Good and Evil,” is a major departure for the director most known for his riotous comedies like “Spy” and “Bridesmaids“.

The stars stepped out for Netflix’s The School For Good And Evil premiere held at the Regency Village Theatre on Tuesday evening (October 18) in Los Angeles.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic “Harry Potter” has had many imitators, but none so blatant or irredeemably over-the-top as Netflix franchise starter “The School for Good and Evil,” an extravagant YA costume show from “Bridesmaids” director Paul Feig that follows two friends to an elite academy where the heroes and villains of future fairy tales are trained. The whole idea derives from a book series by Soman Chainani, though it’s obvious where it really comes from: the imagination of J.K. Rowling, who must be positively livid watching what looks like the most expensive episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” ever produced. Feig goes full camp here, casting Kerry Washington and Charlize Theron to play the decked-out divas who oversee the enchanted institution’s two sides. The former embodies Professor Dovey, a prissy headmistress in Tweety Bird-yellow threads, who’s always going on about the rules, while Theron’s evil-minded Lady Lesso takes her fashion cues from Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS. Joined by Laurence Fishburne (as the Morpheus-like School Master), Michelle Yeoh (largely wasted as some kind of beauty instructor) and Cate Blanchett (in voice only, as the film’s self-aware narrator), these stars have been given carte blanche to chew the scenery.

Angelique Jackson Though “Don’t Worry Darling” director and star Olivia Wilde may have been “gobsmacked” to be honored as one of Elle’s Women in Hollywood on Monday night, she used the opportunity to speak candidly about her experiences as headline fodder during the film’s press tour and to urge women to “keep fighting through the hellfire” of the patriarchy in the entertainment business and beyond. Before the crowd of about 200 guests seated for the open-air dinner held at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, Wilde began her biting, yet lighthearted speech with a joke about finding out there were seven other honorees — Ariana DeBose, Anne Hathaway, Issa Rae, Sydney Sweeney, Sigourney Weaver and Michelle Yeoh — also being recognized. Wilde went on to say she’d “learned so much” from them all, describing them as an “extraordinary list of women who have not only inspired me forever, but who have forged the very shape of this industry through their hard work, bold choices and resilience.”

Sydney Sweeney's excitement is palpable when she talks about taking on the lead in Sony Pictures' new movie. But don't ask her if she's talked to Jane Fonda yet about the iconic role!The 25-year-old actress spoke with ET's Deidre Behar ahead of being honored at 's Women in Hollywood celebration at the famed Getty Center in Los Angeles, and she couldn't hold back her excitement about the upcoming role.«I'm really excited to serve all the fits,» said the gleeful star. «But also, just it's such an iconic, fun character.
