“Apple TV has given a series order to 'Guilty Creatures,' a thriller based on Mikita Brottman's true-crime book. The series will star and be executive produced by Emmy winner Julia Garner. Craig Gillespie will direct and executive produce the show. The story is inspired by real events in Tallahassee, Florida, focusing on themes of sex, religion, and murder. The project is expected to bring attention to the true-crime genre with a high-profile cast and production team.”

“Supergirl, the second film in James Gunn's DC Universe, faced behind-the-scenes creative conflicts between director Craig Gillespie and DC Studios, leading to test screenings of two different film cuts. According to The Hollywood Reporter, DC ultimately took control of post-production and made its own version of the film, resulting in changes such as the climactic battle and music choices. The studio's cut performed slightly better in test screenings and is the version released in theaters. Despite the film's mixed reception, the DCU remains on track for future projects, including a horror movie and a Superman sequel.”

“Warner Bros. reportedly ran a 'bakeoff' between director Craig Gillespie's edit and another version to improve the film's poor test scores. The studio aimed to find a better version of the movie through this process. No other details about the outcome or specifics of the test are provided in the excerpt.”

“Creative differences reportedly led James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Studios to test competing Supergirl cuts – one from director Craig Gillespie and one from the studio – just months before its release. The information suggests a conflict in vision between the director and the studio during the production of the film.”
