Rise of the Tech Titans (working title) will see the extraordinary rise of big tech told through a handful of young upstarts who created the modern world, while Vice Studios’ MH370: The Lost Flight (working title), which is being co-produced for Australia’s SBS, will uncover groundbreaking evidence surrounding the disappearance of the Malaysian plane in 2014.

42nd Razzie Awards are in — and if you had anything to do with “Diana: The Musical,” you might want to go back to bed.The big, fat Broadway bomb about the Princess of Wales beamed into your living room courtesy of Netflix was this year’s big Razzie “winner,” taking home five of what the group calls its “un-coveted … tacky, gold-spray-painted statuettes.” The streaming version of the stage musical bagged Worst Picture, Worst Actress (Jeanna deWaal), Worst Supporting Actress (Judy Kaye, who actually played two roles), Worst Director (Christopher Ashley) and Worst Screenplay (Script by Joe DiPietro, Music and Lyrics by DiPietro and David Bryan). The group pointed out how richly the “Diana” script deserved the honor, for “featuring some of the year’s most ridiculed dialogue and lyrics — Including rhyming ‘Camilla’ with both ‘Manilla’ and ‘Godzilla.'”Faring almost as miserably was “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” with slam dunks for Worst Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel; Worst Actor (LeBron James); and Worst Screen Couple (James and “Any Warner Cartoon Character or WarnerMedia Product He Dribbles On).” Sadly, that last “Space Jam” triumph meant Jared Leto failed to sweep the two categories in which he was nominated for his Fredo-Corleone-by-way-of-Super-Mario “House of Gucci” performance.
