  • Why we’re so excited!

You won’t believe what just happened over at Variety! Seriously. We just heard that Matt Donnelly is now the big boss for all their film stuff.

Executive Editor of Film, they call it. Sounds fancy, right? Very.

But here’s the cool part: Matt isn’t just any editor. He’s an award-winning investigative journalist. He digs deep. Really deep.

Imagine the stories he’s going to bring us! All the breaking news, sharp analysis, and those deep-dive investigations we love.

He’ll be guiding all the film chatter, both in their classic print magazine – you know, the one with that iconic, bold aesthetic – and online. It’s a huge role!

From the buzzing film festival circuit to the everyday happenings of Hollywood’s unique culture. It makes us wonder what other exciting film news is out there, like when Macron Hosted a Secret Movie Summit! Matt will get all the insider info. What a gig!

We bet the film section is going to have a whole new energy. A fresh coat of paint, but for stories. A vibrant, electric vibe, maybe?

He’s based in Los Angeles, naturally. Right where all the movie magic happens.

Our Take

We’re genuinely pumped about this. Matt Donnelly taking the reins means we’re in for some seriously good reads.

His background promises a different kind of film coverage. Not just the surface stuff, but the real stories behind the scenes.

It feels like a fresh start for film journalism. A new chapter, you could say. We’re ready for it.

It’s like when your favorite show gets a new, brilliant showrunner. You just know it’s going to be good.
