News Fang Fiction Kate Stayman-London’s Fang Fiction Will Transform Into a TV Series Diablo Cody will bite into – uh, we mean, executive produce – the series. By Molly Templeton | Published on May 9, 2025 Author photo © Auden Bui 2024 Comment 0 Share New Share Author photo © Auden Bui 2024 More vampires are coming to your television. According to Variety, a series adaptation of Kate Stayman-London’s 2024 novel Fang Fiction is in the works, with Diablo Cody (Jennifer’s Body) executive producing. Fang Fiction came out last year and was a bestseller; Entertainment Weekly called it, “A delightfully meta take on fandom, vampire fiction, and a beautiful tribute to the healing power of fantasy and facing your demons.” Here’s the publisher’s synopsis: Tess Rosenbloom is no stranger to the dark. An assault survivor and grad school dropout, Tess spends her nights managing a chic Brooklyn hotel and her days reading her favorite vampire novels, Blood Feud. She even dabbles in online conspiracies claiming Blood Feud is real—it’s fun to hunt for clues! But deep down, Tess doesn’t believe vampires actually exist . . . until one walks through her door.It turns out the sexy villain of Blood Feud is trapped, and only Tess can rescue him. Eager to escape her life, Tess agrees to help, and soon she’s on a secret island where the sun never shines, surrounded by deadly vampires—and most terrifying of all, she’s falling in love with one of them. (Meanwhile, back in New York, Tess’s estranged best friend is having a sapphic paranormal affair of her own.)Visiting the world of your favorite story is any fan’s dream, but can Tess outrun the demons of her past (and vampires of her present) before it becomes a nightmare? In this darkly glamorous rom-com, Tess will find out if it’s worth risking her neck—and her heart—for a chance to reclaim her future. Stayman-London is writing the adaptation herself; Variety notes that Cody is “said to be working closely with her on the script.” No network or streamer is on board yet, but surely it’s just a matter of time: Vampires sure do seem to be having a(nother) moment.[end-mark] The post Kate Stayman-London’s <i>Fang Fiction</i> Will Transform Into a TV Series appeared first on Reactor.

News Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma Gillian Anderson and Hannah Einbinder Will Star in Jane Schoenbrun’s Slasher Film We can’t wait for Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. By Molly Templeton | Published on May 9, 2025 Screenshot: Netflix Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Netflix We’ve been waiting for more details on Jane Schoenbrun’s next film, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, basically since we first heard about it—and now there’s news, and it’s very good news indeed. Variety reports that Gillian Anderson (The X-Files; Sex Education, pictured above) and Hannah Einbinder (Hacks) are set to star in the film, which will reportedly be “funnier and grislier” than Schoenbrun’s previous films. Variety describes the movie like this: In Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, the infamous “Camp Miasma” slasher franchise is getting rebooted yet again. But when the latest movie’s director becomes obsessed with the mysterious, reclusive actress who played the “final girl” in the original film, a whole new kind of slasher emerges from the bottom of the lake. No details have been offered about casting, though it seems moderately logical to guess that Anderson might be playing that final girl. In a statement, Schoenbrun said, “I make movies I wish existed when I was a kid. … Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is my best attempt at the ‘sleepover classic:’ an insane yet cozy midnight odyssey that beckons to unsuspecting viewers from the horror section at the local video store.” Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow was, as Variety puts it, “one of the most acclaimed indies of 2024.” Emmet Asher-Perrin wrote, “It is about transness and queerness, certainly, but it is also about the ways in which fandom can anchor lives, and the places we find ourselves in life that don’t fit. And it is a story about becoming… and about the violence inflicted on anyone who attempts to become in direct defiance of the world that they are crammed inside.” There’s no word yet on when Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma will arrive on screens.[end-mark] The post Gillian Anderson and Hannah Einbinder Will Star in Jane Schoenbrun’s Slasher Film appeared first on Reactor.

India’s Ministry of Communications has issued a memorandum that details the conditions under which the country’s authorities would approve licenses to Starlink and other Global Mobile Personal Communication by Satellite (GMPCS) companies. A set of rules required of these operators is interpreted in some reports as an obligation to agree to facilitate surveillance and censorship. At the same time, it is acknowledged that most countries impose similar rules – but the memo and its provisions are above all framed as a test for Starlink owner, Elon Musk’s SpaceX, and his commitment to free speech. Starlink has shown interest in entering the Indian market and has service resale deals with two of the country’s largest telecommunications firms. But making those deals operational depends on being granted a license, with the memorandum now explaining the 29 conditions that companies must meet. GMPCS operators will have to ensure security clearance for gateway/hub location in India, as well as that functionality such as lawful interception facility, monitoring/control facility of user terminals, data traffic routing, etc., are located in the country. Unregistered terminals will be immediately disconnected, while those registered for one location and then moved will be locked. “Rogue for malicious activities” terminals are to be blocked without delay. During hostilities, those issued GMPCS licenses must be able to restrict or deny service either based on specific geo-locations or to individuals or groups of subscribers. Another requirement is to set up special monitoring zones 50 kilometers within the land borders and the exclusive economic zone (200 nautical miles). The purpose of this is to “monitor user activities” that are designated by security or law enforcement agencies. Just like ISPs and telecommunications firms, GMPCS operators have to agree to intercept traffic and provide details that include, among other information, exact user terminal location, device ID, IMEI, and MSISDN, as well as public IP and private IPs. Operators must also ensure that if a website is blocked in India, it is also blocked by their GMPCS service, and “facilitate” collection of metadata by India’s Telecom Security Operation Center.
