Kevin Smith’s “HOLLYWEED” Pilot Debuts; Begins Crowdfunding Campaign!

Published

on

The sweet smell of purple haze is wafting over Los Angeles as Kevin Smith has just released his previously-shelved comedy TV pilot, “Hollyweed”.

Written and Directed by Smith, “Hollyweed” tells the story of Pete (Smith) and Nipsey (Donnell Rawlings); two marijuana dispensary clerks that spend their days growing, selling, and smoking cannabis in the heart of Hollywood.
The first episode bears a striking resemblance to Smith’s first film, Clerks, in that it follows a day in the life of two slackers jockeying a register at a small retail haven. However, things take a quick turn when Pete is coerced into making a home delivery to what turns out to be the set of a pornographic film. After Pete is introduced to the film’s eccentric star, Janet aka “Brookline Mass” (Frankie Shaw), the two light up and begin to philosophize on life, morality, and the movie, “Ant-Man”.
Smith’s clever, pop-culture-infused dialogue never fails to impress, but the true treat of this series is getting to see him perform what he wrote. Smith has acted in the majority of his films, but only as the character Silent Bob, who is very true to his namesake and barely ever speaks. “Hollyweed” provides fans the opportunity to see Smith really cut lose and display his acting chops as a lead for the first time since 2005’s “Catch & Release”.
The hilarious pilot episode is now available on Rivit TV. Rivit TV is a new online platform designed to completely cater to the fans. After placing the first episode of a series online for free, fans can then decide if they would like to pledge funding for an entire season. Pledges range from $1.99 to $5.99 per episode and not a single backer is charged until the goal is met. Also, the more people that pledge, the less the individual ends up paying in the long run. In short, the fate of “Hollyweed” is completely up to the fans.

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
