Mindy Kaling x Scream = “Velma”!
Kaling shared the teaser of the upcoming HBO Max series “Velma”, in which she voices the titular character. Velma, a crime-solving nerd from Scooby Doo’s gang, now has a show to herself and she has only one rule – “Do not mess with a classic.” If that sounds familiar, then you are probably a “Scream” fan.

The teaser begins with Velma writing to HBO Max, expressing her disappointment over the remake of another classic character and just as she hits send, she receives a call from an unknown caller. She answers and hears, “Hello Velma, do you like solving mysteries?” – much like the antagonist of the slasher movie above, who called his targets and said, “Do you like a scary movie?”
She quickly learns that the ‘serial killer’ is inside her house and her first reaction is not panic but this – “A serial killer calling from inside my house… A classic… Yes, that’s my point.” But “JINKIES”! She catches up pretty soon and turns to find herself face-to-face with the serial killer.
Kaling shared the teaser on Instagram with this caption: “Serial Killer on the loose: loves killing girls obviously.”
In the first part of the teaser, Velma’s rant on changing the character of Judy Jetson (from the series “The Jetsons”), ending with the exclamation, “At least Judy’s still white,” alluded to the strong reaction she faced “Velma” casting was initially announced. Fans were not thrilled that an actor of East Asian origin would voice the character.
She told Seth Meyers on “Late Night”, “People were not happy. There were a lot of ‘so not Velma’ tweets. First of all, I didn’t know that she

During ELLE’s Women In Hollywood ceremony, Hathaway was honored with a special recognition after her successful Hollywood career, and it was Mindy who introduced her to the audience at the event in Los Angeles.“From the age of 18 years old [Hathaway] has been objectified regularly, and despite loving her as a performer I’ll tell you when I fell in love with her,” Mindy said, praising her for her many iconic roles in fan-favorite movies, including The Princess Diaries, Les Miserables, and The Devil Wears Prada.Mindy went on to talk about a bizarre moment at the 2012 premiere of Les Miserables, when a photographer “positioned his camera low so he could take a photo up [Hathaway’s] skirt” and sold the photo.“On the Today show the next morning, Matt Lauer said to her in this chastising, someone-has-been-naughty way, ‘Anne Hathaway I’ve seen a lot of you lately,’” Mindy recalled.

Mindy Kaling Michael R. Jackson is, in a word, dazzling. His Broadway musical, “A Strange Loop,” is a breakthrough masterpiece whose plot I won’t describe here because it’s so inventive that my summary wouldn’t do it justice. But what I can say is that it’s a musical about a writer … well, trying to write. The star of “A Strange Loop” is Usher, a “young overweight-to-obese homosexual and/ or gay and/or queer, cisgender male writer,” as he says in his opening song, working to find his way in the world, deciphering the many destructive (and often extremely funny) voices in his head. Watching Michael’s Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning musical, I felt like someone had shone a light on the creative process of writing in a way it had never been examined before. For years, many neurotic writers have been able to see themselves in the protagonists of Woody Allen movies or Charlie Kaufman’s “Adaptation” or, hell, even “The Shining.” I never completely got it. But I actually identify with Usher, a funny, tortured, pop-culture-fluent brown man trying to impress his parents, discover his voice, vanquish his shame and have sex occasionally. Michael managed to capture all the moments of artistic self-doubt and relentless self-examination and somehow make it joyful, funny and relatable.
