The VSP says that they are on the lookout for “an older model GMC pickup truck” for the first theft.

Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd are starring in the new movie Death of a Unicorn!

While the SAG-AFTRA strike has put a pause on nearly all film and TV productions, their upcoming A24 film has been granted approval to go through with filming, according to Variety.

How is this allowed, you ask?

Get the details inside…

While there are several rules that actors are supposed to follow during the strike, there are some ways for projects and actors to continue.

If the project is from a major studio and part of AMPTP, they are not able to film, while independent projects and student films are among those that can film, as long as they obtain a waiver from SAG-AFTRA, granting them permission for the actors to partake and production to continue during the strike.

In order to receive the waiver, they must agree to all of the terms that SAG-AFTRA is asking for in the strike.

There are 39 projects that received permission to go ahead during the strike.

Death of a Unicorn, with Jenna and Paul, reportedly will see them as daughter and father who run over a unicorn on their way home. They are set to start filming soon in Hungary, according to Variety.

If you didn’t know, Jenna and Paul are both part of the MCU – she had a small appearance in Iron Man 3, while Paul joined as Ant-Man a couple of years later!

Jenna was most recently seen filming Beetlejuice 2 in Hertfordshire, England earlier this month.People shared photos of her filming a wedding scene for the upcoming sequel, set to hit theaters in September 2024.

Jenna Ortega recently opened up about what it was like working with Christina Ricci!

The 20-year-old actress of course played Wednesday Addams alongside Christina as Marilyn Thornhill in the mega-hit Netflix series.

Christina obviously played the same role in the Addams Family movies in the 90s.

In a new interview, Jenna shared what it was like to be on set, in costume, with Christina, and a favorite moment with her.

Keep reading to see what Jenna shared…

“I was almost intimidated to work with her just because I respect her so much as an actor,” Jenna told WSJ. Magazine. “It’s weird when you’re dressed up as she was 30 years ago, and I’m sure that may have been weird for her, but she definitely didn’t seem that way at all.”

She added, “She loves to play. Seeing her twist and watching her become the villain, I feel like that’s such a natural turn for her. And I mean that as the greatest compliment possible.”

Jenna also shared what it’s like to be associated to Wednesday’s goth style.

“The problem is that since doing that show, if I do wear something black, it seems like I’m leaning into character, but it’s my genuine style,” she told the mag. “I genuinely resonate with Wednesday and the color black. It’s easy, and I feel the most like myself when I’m wearing all black, which is also why doing that job is really exciting.”

Jenna has previously opened up about all of the similarities between herself and Wednesday Addams.

If you missed it, Jenna will now be a producer, as well as the star, for the upcoming second season.

justjaredjr.com/2023/06/29/jen…

Jenna Ortega is opening up about season two of Wednesday in a couple of new interviews!

The 20-year-old actress will not only be returning as the titular character in the next season of the Netflix hit, but she will also be signing on as a producer, a bump up from season one.

This news comes after it was revealed that Jenna would change up lines during filming on the first season because she didn’t agree that her character would say something.

Find out what she teased for season two inside…

“I feel really, really fortunate to be coming on as a producer this time around. I was going to piggyback off of what you [Ayo Edebiri] were saying — any of the best teams or environments that I’ve been on on set have been people who are very collaborative and wanted to hear different opinions because it’s very easy for people to get caught up in their own,” Jenna shared during a THR roundtable.

“I think a project is best when there’s as many voices and ideas thrown out as possible. And I’ve had experiences in TV where I felt my voice wasn’t heard, that I was meant to be a puppet,” she continued. “I’ve been told on sets, ‘You wouldn’t know because you’re not a writer,’ or, ‘Just shut up and do your job.’ From 12 years old, I’ve been hearing things like that. So, I went into Wednesday with hesitance. But I was fortunate to be working with someone like Tim Burton, who pulled me in his trailer one day and said that he wanted to be a soundboard for my voice. So, every day, me, him, the writers, we’d get together in the morning and go through sides.”

“I think that because I’m someone who is very opinionated or because I know what it’s like to be a people pleaser in this industry, and I know how unhappy or how frustrating it’s been in the past, when I went into Wednesday I really put my foot down and made it clear that everything that I had to say mattered and was heard,” Jenna added. “And as the show went on, we all got a better feel for one another and it’s become a really collaborative experience, and I feel really lucky to be able to be in the room early next season and be talking about scripts and giving notes.”

Signing on as a producer will give her more of an official say on the show going into the new season.

In another actor on actor interview, Jenna talked about being a producer now and teased what we can expect in season two of Wednesday, which has not yet started filming. She’s actually recently been working on the Beetlejuice sequel with Tim Burton.

“This is my first time [being a producer]. It was a natural progression. With a character like Wednesday, who is so beloved, I didn’t want to get her wrong. So I tried to have as many conversations as possible with the writers. We’d decide what works and what doesn’t,” she told Elle Fanning for Variety. “In preparation for a second season, we wanted to make sure that we could start the conversations earlier. I’m just so curious: I want to see the outfits, new characters, scripts.”

Of what she can share about season two, Jenna teased, “It’s still coming together, but we’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more. We’re ditching any romantic love interest, which is really great. We’re going to get bolder, more dark.”

Did you know that Jenna actually turned down Wednesday multiple times before finally saying yes?

justjaredjr.com/2023/06/07/jen…

Jenna Ortega is being called out by her own mother.

If you missed it, Jenna was seen smoking a cigarette while out just last week.

Since then, some fans have shared their opinions on seeing the actress doing the act, while others have defended her as well.

Natalie was not one to defend her daughter’s actions, and responded over the sighting on her Instagram Story – with a stacked 13-meme reaction.

Within the 13 posts, Natalie shared a ton of memes that revealed the dangers of smoking, starting with Gollum from The Lord Of The Rings, with the caption: “Don’t believe those lies about cigarettes being bad for you. I’ve been smoking for most my 21 years and I feel great!”

In the closing, Natalie ended with a meme about being a mother.

“A mother is always a mother,” the post reads in her Story. “She never stops worrying about her children, even when they are all grown up and have children of their own.”

In case you missed it, amid her smoking sighting, Jenna joined the upcoming Beetlejuice sequel.

Beetlejuice 2 finally has a release date!

Not much is known about the film, so we’re glad to finally be getting a little information!

Keep reading to find out more…

The sequel to Tim Burton‘s hit 1988 film will be hitting theaters next year, specifically, September 6, 2024. According to IMDb, the film only has two confirmed cast members so far: Michael Keaton, who is reprising his role as the title character, and Jenna Ortega, who is set to play the daughter of Winona Ryder‘s character from the first film. Deadline reports that Winona will return, and Justin Theroux just joined the cast, too.

Years ago, Tim said he had been collaborating with Michael on the project, telling Variety, “There’s only one Beetlejuice, and that’s Michael. There is a script, and I would love to work with him again. I think there is now a better chance than ever… I miss that character. There’s something that’s cathartic and amazing about it. I think it’s closer than ever.”

Fast forward to 2023 and Jenna became attached to the project. Now, with the release date attached, it looks like things are full steam ahead for the highly anticipated sequel!

justjared.com/2023/05/09/beetl…

Jenna Ortega has found herself dragged into the writers strike in Hollywood.

If you missed it, last year the 20-year-old Wednesday actress revealed that she “just started changing lines” in the popular Netflix show’s script.

“The script supervisor thought I was going with something, and then I would have to sit down with the writers and they’d be like, ‘Wait, what happened to the scene?’ And I would have to go through and explain why I couldn’t do certain things,” she admitted during an interview.

The comments are resurfacing months later as writers reference them on Twitter, and fans have a lot of thoughts.

Read more about Jenna Ortega and the writers strike…

“Jenna Ortega better be back from NY for her afternoon shift on the picket line,” Nick Adams, a writer on Bojack Horseman tweeted on Tuesday (May 2).

Karen Joseph Adcock, who writes for The Bear, agreed, writing, “Rewriting is writing! See you at the line, Jenna.”

Variety also captured a photo of a protestor holding a sign that read, “Without writers, Jenna Ortega will have nothing to punch up!”

Fans took to Twitter to defend Jenna, putting the writers on blast.

“Imagine being a 50-year-old man, working your whole life as a writer, receiving poor pay, participating in a writers’ strike demanding more money, and for you to receive attention you need to name a 20-year-old girl who refused to turn a character iconic in a joke,” one fan tweeted.

“i am pro writers strike but anti jenna ortega slander,” another wrote.

“jenna ortega the definition of [oh a pretty girl lets hate on her’.. give her a break she’s been catching strays all week what does she have to do w the writers strike?😭all bc she refused to make wednesday say she loved a dress n bc she doesnt want a love triangle n she’s RIGHT,” yet another fan added.

“I feel like this is such a weird time to take a dig at Jenna Ortega 😭 like she isn’t why y’all are on strike lol and she literally was correct about her concerns with the Wednesday writing, some of the choices would’ve been (and were) so odd,” someone else opined.

One fan even referred to the story as “anti-strike propaganda.”

Jenna opened up about accepting the role in Wednesday recently, admitting that it took her a while to agree to the offer. She’ll be back in character for the Netflix series’ second season.

justjared.com/2023/05/04/jenna…

The more time goes by, the more we learn about the what went into making Wednesday!

In a new interview, star Jenna Ortega shared that she actually turned down the project multiple times.

What made her finally say yes? Tim Burton, of course.

Learn more inside…

“I got the email, passed on it,” Jenna toldThe Times, noting that she just wanted to focus more on film.

“I had done so much TV in my life,” she explained. “When I first started acting, I don’t want to say nobody believed in me, but at the same time, nobody believed in me. You have to prove yourself. It’s only in the last three or four years that I’ve been able to start going up for film. I was scared that by signing on to another television show it could prevent me from doing other jobs I really wanted and cared about.”

Jenna then admitted that it was executive producer and director Tim Burton who made actually made her consider the project.

“The only reason I went back is because Tim is such a legend, and we just happened to get along very well,” she said. “But even then I said, ‘Ah, no — I think I’m OK,’ a couple [more] times.”

If you missed it, earlier this year another actress revealed she also turned down an upcoming project at first.

Recently, Jenna has revealed she changed up lines on the set of Wednesday, and she cried hysterically often throughout filming.

justjaredjr.com/2023/03/14/jen…

Jenna Ortega is so expertly cast as Wednesday Addams in Netflix’s hit series that it’s impossible to imagine anyone else in the role. However, that was almost the case.

The 20-year-old actress revealed in a recent interview that she initially passed on the role. Not once, either.

She explained why she had hesitations to sign on for Wednesday. She also broke down what ultimately convinced her to join the project.

Keep reading to find out more…

“I got the email, passed on it,” Jenna told The Times.

She noted it was about her desire to do more film work instead.

“I had done so much TV in my life,” she explained. “When I first started acting, I don’t want to say nobody believed in me, but at the same time, nobody believed in me. You have to prove yourself. It’s only in the last three or four years that I’ve been able to start going up for film. I was scared that by signing on to another television show it could prevent me from doing other jobs I really wanted and cared about.”

Ultimately, it was director Tim Burton‘s involvement that made her rethink her decision.

“The only reason I went back is because Tim is such a legend, and we just happened to get along very well,” she admitted. “But even then I said, ‘Ah, no — I think I’m OK,’ a couple [more] times.”

Even after accepting the role, Jenna admitted that she was nervous about how it would be received.

“The cast and I, I remember, we used to talk about it in Romania, we were like, ‘Hey, what do you think will happen with the show?’” she recalled. “That was it, that was the most we ever really got into it. So I thought it wasn’t going to be watched. That it will be a nice little gem that someone finds.”

Of course, Wednesday was a smash hit that emerged as one of the biggest shows in the history of Netflix. It was renewed for a second season shortly after premiering to rave reviews.

After accepting the role, Jenna did take some creative risks to make sure that the iconic character was portrayed correctly.

Jenna Ortega kicked off Saturday Night Live by revealing why she took on the hosting gig.

The 20-year-old Wednesday actress is the youngest host of the season, and she kicked off the March 11 episode with a couple of jokes about her string of horror roles and her first ever acting job.

She also welcomed a special guest onstage!

Read more about Jenna Ortega’s opening monologue for Saturday Night Live…

“A lot of people assume that I’m dark and twisted in real life because of these roles that I play. But I am not like that at all,” Jenna said about being typecast for her roles in the likes of Wednesday and Scream 6. “I think there is just something about my face where people see it and they’re like ‘Hey, let’s throw blood on that.’”

She also claimed that she isn’t what makes her so scary.

“Scary music and editing can make anything seem like a horror film,” she explained before transforming a clip from her first acting gig – an adorable Colgate commercial – into the stuff of nightmares.

Why did Jenna decide to host SNL? “I wanted to face my biggest fear – happy, extroverted people who are always trying to perform,” she shared.

Her Wednesday co-star Fred Armisen – a SNL alum – showed up to support Jenna from the audience and joined her onstage for a quick exchange.

Check out the latest very exciting casting news for Jenna. The actress also made a surprising revelation about her part in Wednesday.

Jenna Ortega might be continuing her professional relationship with Tim Burton as she’s in talks to star in the sequel to his classic movie Beetlejuice.

The movie is in the works right now with a potential shoot happening this summer. Original star Michael Keaton is attached to return.

Jenna recently worked with Burton on the smash hit Netflix series Wednesday and a second season of the show has already been ordered.

“It’s been quite an insane experience,” Jenna told THR about working with Burton. “I’ve been lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with an iconic director who just so happens to be one of the sweetest directors I’ve worked with, and also the most detail-oriented.”

So, who will Jenna play if she signs on?

The Hollywood Reporter says that Jenna is in talks to play the daughter of Lydia Deetz, who was played by Winona Ryder in the first movie.

Jenna Ortega was likely wishing that she had a Tide bleach pen on hand when she walked the red carpet for the Scream 6 premiere earlier this week.

The 20-year-old Wednesday actress joined her co-stars at the movie’s New York City premiere on Monday night (March 6).

She looked cool in a black and white dress with a plunging neckline. However, Jenna suffered a wardrobe malfunction of sorts after accidentally getting an ink stain on her outfit.

She poked fun at the situation in a post on social media.

In a post on Instagram, Jenna hinted at the accident with a creative hashtag – #sharpiestainwhogivesas-it.

The star also included an apology to Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing. ET Canada noted that he helped design her outfit.

Based on pics from the event, Jenna‘s accident happened at the premiere. There are plenty of pics where the dress appears stain-free. She was also seen posing in a couple of group shots with her hand seemingly covering the stain.

Maybe it happened while signing autographs? Either way, it’s good to see Jenna wasn’t overly bothered by the accident!

If you missed it, Jenna recently revealed her relationship status and explained that she felt “infected” during a recent interview. Find out what she meant by that here.

FYI: Jenna was wearing Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture.

Jenna Ortega‘s first Saturday Night Live promo has arrived!

The 20-year-old actress will be hosting the sketch show THIS Saturday (March 11), and they released a new promo for her appearance.

In the clip, we see comedy trio Please Don’t Destroy (Ben Marshall, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy), all dressed as Jenna in the dance scene, pitching doing the dance in promo for SNL.

Check out the video inside…

“Honestly, this is really well-written,” Jenna tells the guys. “I just don’t feel like I want to do the Wednesday dance for promo because we’ve seen so much of it already. I think it’s time to do something new.”

The guys then say how they didn’t really want to do it either, and she points out how they’re dressed, which was confusing. She then reluctantly agrees to do it, and it cuts to her doing the dance with two of them, while the third records on their phone.

Check out the promo video right here!

Jenna Ortega has been acting for years now, with an array of roles, but Wednesday has brought a whole new level of attention to her career.

In a new interview, the 20-year-old actress opened up about changing lines in the script, not having the proudest moment while filming and how she doesn’t want to be known for just this role.

Keep reading to see what she said…

While appearing on Dax Shepard‘s Armchair Expert podcast, Jenna admit she would constantly change lines on set, becoming “unprofessional.”

“There was times on that set where I even became almost unprofessional in a sense, where I just started changing lines. The script supervisor thought that, like, I was going with something, and then I would have to sit down with the writers, and they would be like, ‘Wait, what happened to the scene?’ And I would have to go through and explain why I couldn’t do certain things,” Jenna said.

She even revealed that her iconic dance scene, which she choreographed herself and filmed while sick, was originally supposed to be a flash mob, but she vetoed that.

“She was supposed to start dancing, and everyone was supposed to pick up on it and start dancing with her. And that I vetoed, because why would she be okay with that?” she shared. “I said, ‘Either cut it or have Wednesday knock someone out, and then it’s done.’”

She later admitted that “there was not a scene in that show that I went home and was like, ‘okay, that should be fine,’” she said.

Now that the first season has been such a big and success, she does worry about being known for just this, even though she’s been working for a decade.

“Now a lot of people know me from that. It’s not my proudest moment internally, which, I think, also adds an extra level of insecurity and stress,” Jenna said. “Because it’s like, no, I’m finally getting these offers to these places that I want, but I don’t want to be known specifically for that.”

If you missed it, Jenna also recently shared that she cried hysterically during filming on season one.

During her appearance on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, Jenna opened up about how she “put my foot down on a set” to keep Wednesday grounded.

She continued, “There were times on that set where I even became unprofessional in a sense where I just started changing lines. The script supervisor thought I was going with something, and then I would have to sit down with the writers and they’d be like, ‘Wait, what happened to the scene?’ And I would have to go through and explain why I couldn’t do certain things.”

“Everything that she does, everything that I had to play, did not make sense for her character at all,” Jenna added, before recalling a few of the scenes she changed: “Her being in a love triangle made no sense. There was a line about this dress that she has to wear for a school dance and she says, ‘Oh my god, I love it! I can’t believe I said that. I literally hate myself.’ And I had to go, ‘No, there’s no way.’”

“I think for me, because I look a bit younger, I’ve been acting for a little over a decade now, so I’ve just been a teenager pretty much in stories. I feel like it’s always the ‘bratty teen,’ the ‘bad-mouthed teen,’ or a lot of times ‘unintelligent,’ which I don’t think is true,” she said.

“I think it’s hard too nowadays with all this new lingo coming around but I feel like my generation, because there is so much accessible to them on the Internet, there’s just more opportunities for them to learn. I wish they were given a bit more credit. We can be smart sometimes,” Jenna continued.

Jenna is about to appear in a music superstar’s feature acting debut!
