Great interview in Harper's Bazaar UK with Jenna Ortega, not about her films due to the strike, but about her career and her life, about the past and future, about her 21st birthday which was the first in a long time she was not working, about never being home, about representation, and about what she wants in the future. I like reading about her thoughts, she's a deep thinker.

Great photoshoot by Agata Pospieszynska as well. She's one of five cover stars for the 'Awards edition'.

The same issue also has Emilia Clarke and Gugu Mbatha-Raw. I can't find on the site how to order the issue, so what's the point in making such a star studded one?

Decades ago I frequently checked a magazine shop. Do they still exist?



More news about A24's Death of a Unicorn that stars Jenna Ortega: deadline.com/2023/11/death-of-… . It has wrapped and Jenna is executive producer.

In related news: in the past you needed to type well into her last name before type ahead search results on the various sites considered you might be meaning "Jenna Ortega", but I can report that now for IMDb "Jen" is enough and for Netflix a simple "Je".

The autocomplete on my phone needs nothing more than "J", or in fact just a #, but that's years of training...
#JennaOrtega



I need more things like Wednesday and The Fallout, with Jenna Ortega in actual lead roles, it's such an experience. It's great seeing her in supporting roles and ensemble casts and even then she stands out, but there's nothing like a project being totally driven by her. There's no one like her.

Trailer for Finestkind is on YouTube. The film will be on Paramount+ from 15 December. The great thing: Jenna Ortega is in it!

It's the episode with the second of two cello scenes by Jenna in the series. It's my understanding many more were filmed in the series, but they had to be cut because the episodes ran too long. I so hope we get to see them some day.

It's also the episode of the extreme camera angles in front of the fireplace.

Btw, Scream (2022) with Jenna Ortega has also become available on Netflix in my country (NL). It transferred there from SkyShowtime where Scream VI (2023) is still available.
#JennaOrtega #Scream
in reply to Gidi Kroon

I really liked the series, it's varied enough in its stories to not be a repetitive kids-running-from-dinosaurs-and-surviving. The characters are quite interesting and multi-faceted. The development of the two girls finding out they like girls and especially each other, was nicely done.

I dislike how Hollywood writers whenever they write a smart teenage girl, invariably shoehorn in a love story with the bad-guy-who-turns-out-to-be-ok, even if it doesn't make sense for the character to be attracted to such a guy. See also Stuck in the Middle.

Finestkind will have its premiere at TIFF any moment now, but you can already watch a scene courtesy of this Deadline article. It features Jenna Ortega and like everything she does it's immediately captivating and intense. They say it's going to be on Paramount+ in November.

It has been confirmed that Scream 7 will happen, but it is not known yet whether Jenna Ortega, or in fact anyone else, returns. These negotiations will probably wait until after the strike.
#JennaOrtega #Scream #Scream7
This entry was edited (1 year ago)


Jenna Ortega is, or will be, filming Death of a Unicorn. As an A24 film this is not impacted by the strike (as A24 accepted the union's conditions and the union promotes people working on such projects).

I think this is good news not just because I want to see more Jenna Ortega films, and preferably good ones like A24 usually makes, but also because it provides work for all those other professions that depend on the film industry (catering, drivers, builders) and that would otherwise be impacted by the strike.

Now, again, watching the brilliance that is Jenna Ortega in The Fallout. I hope she makes many more films like this. I don't care whether they are super famous film franchises or relatively unknown indies like this, I'll watch it anyway. I'm watching it from my dvd (only a US region coded dvd is available, no blu-ray, no European disc).

Now watching Scream VI in 4k from my disc. I saw it in the cinema when it came out and watching Jenna Ortega in this film was such an experience, she's so good. But when has she ever not been at the top of her game? Never. What also stood out to me about this film is that it's a horror with properly fleshed out characters, with everybody doing a good job.

Apparently it has been 13 years since another Latina actress was nominated for an Emmy as lead.


Jenna Ortega posted a new photo on her Instagram, which by now counts as breaking news. She hardly ever uses it anymore, and also now it is for advertising commitments.

Two titbits from yesterday's Tudum, Netflix's fan event, that I gather from clips posted:

Wednesday season 2 is going to introduce another Addams Family character. Many people have asked for Cousin Itt to appear, but the cast say they don't know yet who it will be. Also, from the fact that the cast announcing this was Jenna, Emma, Joy and Hunter, you can guess their characters are back.

You is going to be the final season, as announced earlier, and there was no news. Just the suggestion that Joe is going to face (an) opponent(s) related to the many loose ends. The clips to illustrate these loose ends included Jenna Ortega as Ellie. My favourite story would be where Ellie and Nadia team up to take Joe down.

Jenna Ortega's Saturday Night Live episode is now available unlocked (but still geoblocked) on the NBC website. The sketches are so good.

All the sketches are online on their YouTube channel, the full episode has only the outro as extra bit and two or three times that she announces the music guest. These are just one line but surprisingly she has a different outfit for each. I don't know whether that's common on SNL, or whether it's a Jenna thing.
This entry was edited (1 year ago)

You can see that I've never watched an SNL episode. I don't know how the format works. I don't know which of the sketches are live and which are recorded. To do even some of them live seems a herculean task.

Hard to choose a favourite, they're all funny and different. I like how Jenna goes all out with the acting. I love 'Zena Neutreno'.

US people: Jenna Ortega is hosting Saturday Night Live tonight!

In trying to find out whether I could see it in Europe (answer: no), I found that Jenna's appearance on Fallon (The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon) is repeated today and tomorrow on CNBC Europe (one of her two visits). So set your recorders! (Yes, I'm old. Yes, I have a recorder and have set it.)

I also found that old seasons of SNL eventually end up on HBO Max, so I've already set my alert on Jenna's episode.

Just back from Scream VI:

Wow!

This is by far, by far, the best film of the franchise. Jenna Ortega is amazing. The whole cast play their characters amazingly. The script includes proper characters unlike some horror films. Even if you're not into horror or slashers, this is still a big recommendation from me.

@Monoavi I'm sorry you can't see it yet, hopefully you'll get to see it soon. I was surprised we in the Netherlands got it before the US, usually we are months later.


Doing the final one Wednesday per Wednesday, episode 8 of my fourth run-through. Getting ready for the pre-premiere of Scream VI later this evening. It's a Jenna Ortega day...

Scream VI is released in Dutch cinemas tomorrow, Thursday 9 March. In the US it is released Friday.

So interesting how she has this 'does not compute' reaction when she turns out to be wrong about something. And she is wrong about things surprisingly often for someone coming across as so confident.

I've been watching the Scream films to get ready for the release of Scream VI this week. Now I'm rewatching the fifth film, Scream, the one with Jenna Ortega, from my 4k disc. Last year I saw this film in the cinema and it was my first experience seeing Jenna on the big screen, which is even more impressive.

Of course I'm going to see Scream VI in the cinema too! The US release is this Friday, the Dutch release is one day earlier but our prerelease is this Wednesday already.

Jenna Ortega proves that a horror slasher can also have spot on acting, not just in the attack scenes but also in some heartfelt dialogue.


The You Netflix account posting these two Ellie and Nadia videos side by side... I love both actresses, and characters, and had already noticed their similarities in the makeup of the show (the wise young person that fascinates Joe, who he wants to protect, but who is fundamentally a reflection of the real world rather than Joe's strange business). Further parallels: both Jenna and Amy-Leigh became famous from a tv series with a lot of kids living in a house where there were two adults, but the stories were about the kids (Stuck in the Middle and Tracy Beaker Returns/The Dumping Ground).

You see that Joe is getting older because in season four he needs to take notes to remember it all.


Jenna Ortega never loses her cool while eating increasingly hot spicy wings and while being interviewed. She talks about Wednesday, Tim Burton, Scream, horror in general, writing essays, teen stereotypes in scripts, etc.

I'm at episode 7 of 8 of my one Wednesday per Wednesday rewatch, which I think is my fourth run through of the series. I guess next week will be a double dose of Jenna Ortega.

Everytime at the beginning of the week, Netflix mails me the 'Don't forget to finish Wednesday!' email and I'm like, is it Wednesday already? No? Chill.

This is the episode that opens with the iconic image of Wednesday under the umbrella in the rain, which was used much in the promotion.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

I love how Jenna makes all of Wednesday's movements so perfect. Not just the eyes, which is what maybe stands out most, but also down to the hand movements that are confident and deliberate but also careful and measured. When Wednesday puts something down, or rings a bell, it's very smooth. It's a really interesting thing once you see it.

New Scream VI trailer! With cast quotes.

The film comes out 9 March in my country (10 March in the US), but in many cities here there's a prerelease showing on Wednesday 8 March. Check your listings!

Scream VI is the follow up to last year's Scream, which was actually number 5, and Jenna Ortega plays one of the main characters, Tara Carpenter.
