‘Euphoria’ Creator Breaks Down Sydney Sweeney’s Cassie’s OnlyFans ‘Fantasy’ The creator of the hit series Euphoria, Sam Levinson, has provided insight into the controversial storyline involving Sydney Sweeney’s character, Cassie, who transitions into creating OnlyFans content as a means to fund her wedding to Nate, played by Jacob Elordi. The season-three premiere opens with Cassie and Nate on the verge of planning an expensive wedding, but Nate’s financial struggles and Cassie’s desire for wealth lead her to pursue an online career. This decision has sparked debate among fans and critics, with some calling the plotline exploitative and others viewing it as a reflection of Cassie’s character. Levinson explained that the storyline was designed to blur the line between the show and its audience, creating a sense of intimacy and absurdity. He emphasized that the bizarre elements, such as Cassie being filmed in a puppy costume or dressed as a baby, were intentional. “We wanted to break the wall” between viewers and the characters, he said, noting that the scenes were crafted to juxtapose Cassie’s fantasies with the reality of her situation. The housekeeper’s role in filming Cassie’s content was highlighted as a key element, with Levinson stating that the humor and absurdity of the scene stem from the contrast between Cassie’s “dog house” persona and the mundane setting of her mid-century home. The show’s cinematographer, Marcell Rév, added that the visual contrast between Cassie’s OnlyFans content and her domestic life was a deliberate choice. He described how the bright, glowing ring lights used in her cam-girl scenes created a stark contrast with the dark,压抑 surroundings of her home.#sam_levinson #euphoria #sydney_sweeney #the_daily_beast #jacob_elordi
Sylvester Stallone and Quentin Tarantino are collaborating on a new television series, marking a significant creative partnership between the iconic action star and the acclaimed director. The project, set in the 1930s and shot in black and white using vintage cameras, will be co-directed by both men. Stallone, 79, who recently received a Kennedy Center Honors award from Donald Trump, will not appear in the series but will serve as a director. The show’s cast and network have not been disclosed, though The Daily Beast has sought comment from both parties. The series will draw on recurring themes from Stallone and Tarantino’s filmographies, including gangsters, boxing, and showgirls. Stallone’s involvement in the project is notable, as he previously rejected roles in two of Tarantino’s films—Jackie Brown and Death Proof—due to creative differences with the characters. Those parts were instead played by Robert De Niro and Kurt Russell. This new collaboration represents their first joint venture despite numerous opportunities for them to work together. Tarantino, known for his film directing work, will helm this TV series, marking his debut in the medium. While he has directed episodes of shows like ER and CSI, this will be his first full series. Stallone, who has directed films such as the Rocky franchise, Rambo IV, and The Expendables, has not previously directed a made-for-TV project. The series will be Tarantino’s first time directing a TV show, though he has hinted at focusing on other creative endeavors, such as his West End play The Popinjay Cavalier, which will debut this summer. The project is not the first time either director has explored 1930s settings.#donald_trump #quentin_tarantino #sylvester_stallone #kennedy_center_honors #the_daily_beast
