Another Jenna Ortega interview about Wednesday, on WhenInManilla. She talks about playing the cello and how she insisted it was her, and also about choreographing the dance. Sounds like Tim Burton trusted her input a lot, and why not.

Jenna Ortega talks to a guy named Jake on "Jake's takes" about Wednesday. They discuss how she choreographed the dance and that if Wednesday were to watch Scream, she'd criticise Ghostface for being clumsy.

It's Wednesday, so a new Wednesday clip! An amazing look inside Nevermore Academy with some cast and crew quotes. There are some new clips with Jenna Ortega as Wednesday and I'm even more impressed; she doesn't just always excels, she exceeds. It's going to be so amazing! (23 Nov, Netflix)

I need to update the blog post since most mentioned #JennaOrtega projects are out now, but in the pipeline now are:

* #Wednesday (23 November on Netflix)
* Scream 6 (March 2023 in cinemas)
* Finestkind (unfortunately on Paramount+ 😪 )
* Miller's Girl


While Jenna Ortega is making magic in Romania (filming Wednesday) I thought it a good moment to make a list from a fan's perspective of what is in the pipeline. Much to look forward to!

Scream (6) with Jenna Ortega will now be out 10 March 2023, instead of the 31 scheduled earlier. This is the same day as You season four, but it's unlikely Jenna will be in that due to filming loads of other things.

Jenna Ortega interviewed by WhoWhatWear (interview during the photoshoot, which is an interesting thing). About Wednesday, her headphones being her child, etc.

Jenna Ortega is at a fashion show in Paris (Maison Valentino) and I've seen her look on Instagram on the fan accounts. It's an amazing look. I'm going to have to visit the stock photo sites again this evening...

These photos are by fashion photographer Genevieve Leah (instagram.com/p/CjOBgW7LxwR/) and make up artist Naoko Scintu (instagram.com/p/CjN2hHeMuxX/).

I mean the most breathtaking woman arrives at Paris Fashion Week and she's not even one of the models:

(Photos by a photographer who on Instagram goes by Sharon. I'd really like to credit her full name, but I just don't know it. See link)

in reply to Gidi Kroon

It's weird to me how, when seeing photos of the fashion events, a lot of people involved in fashion seem to try to project an image of being miserable. Don't know why this is, it's somehow fashionable and a way to seem relevant. So seeing Jenna's attitude, of being happy to be there and to be able to interact with fans, is like a breath of fresh air.


Finally for #JennaBirthweekRewatch (I'm doing a week running from Sunday to Saturday apparently) of course Scream. Jenna performs her scenes of being the victim with such accuracy, that it becomes hard to watch: you actually see a girl in danger.
#JennaOrtega #ScreamMovie


Today in the #JennaBirthweekRewatch I finished watching The Babysitter: Killer Queen (it was late yesterday) and I'm now doing another episode of You season 2. #JennaOrtega steals that show.

Yesterday I also rewatched an episode of Richie Rich. She's so funny in it! And so tiny, this show was when she was very young...



For today's #JennaBirthweekRewatch I'm going to be a heretic and watch what I consider #JennaOrtega's best horror film: The Babysitter: Killer Queen. Not only is she one of the leads, the film also remains character-based whilst running from killers.

imdb.com/title/tt11024272/



Wishing #JennaOrtega much happiness for her 20th birthday as she gives us fans much happiness seeing her talent in her many projects.


Today in the #JennaBirthweekRewatch : The Fallout on HBO Max. This is still the best film where Jenna as the lead shows how great a character actress she is. #JennaOrtega should be the lead in all films.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

That is a seriously good film, really my kind of film, the best. I wish all films were like that, good story, good characters, talented performance, with a heart, meaning. This is why I follow Jenna, because this is what she can do.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

Of course for #JennaBirthweekRewatch I'll watch an episode of You season 2 as well. #JennaOrtega 's performance as Ellie was such a masterclass, grounded it and made it the best season.
#YouNetflix


This Tuesday #JennaOrtega has her 20th birthday and I'll be celebrating by (re)watching her films all week. To start #JennaBirthweekRewatch, the 4k collector's edition of X. #XMovie

Another film is announced with Jenna Ortega: Miller's Girl. They're currently shooting the film.

Other upcoming projects for Jenna: Wednesday, Finestkind, Scream 6.

In my excitement I forgot to add my excitement. It's so amazing that Jenna's films keep coming and coming!

Jenna Ortega is so amazing in this trailer, the details in the performance are exceptional. I've been singing her praises for a while and I feel so vindicated...
#JennaOrtega #Wednesday


Mayhem, mystery and murder — this isn't your average Wednesday.

From the mind of Tim Burton, comes @wednesdayaddams. Premiering this fall


in reply to Gidi Kroon

A little detail as example: she learned how to play the cello for this role. There's no just waving a stick around near some strings here and then call it a day like some others would have done.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

“Little did I know that I’d be stepping into a nightmare. Full of mystery, mayhem and murder. I think I’m going to love it here.”

Jenna Ortega posted this amazing photo on her Instagram of herself in her Wednesday Addams costume. Can't wait to see what they've made!

Brooklynn dyed her roots again at the earliest opportunity! I really like these little touches like showing the passing of time by her pink hair growing out.

Watching season 5 of #JurassicWorldCampCretaceous out today on #Netflix, because #JennaOrtega is voicing Brooklynn.



The season 5 trailer for Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous is out: netflix.com/us/title/81144678?…

It will be the final season, out this Thursday, and pink haired, smart and courageous Brooklynn is voiced by #JennaOrtega.



Season 5 of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous (where #JennaOrtega voices Brooklynn) is out 21 July! That's a nice surprise, I didn't even know it was coming.

Jenna Ortega may be only a few fleeting moments in Studio 666 but she's the best thing about it and her scenes are worth buying it on iTunes. I'm watching it now and not even skipping to her bits only. I should be careful not to have my dinner coincide with the barbecue scene...

Some technical details for those interested:


  • iTunes allows you to buy some films in 4k (UHD)
  • They play, in 4k, in the app you have for your Apple TV+ subscription on your Google TV Chromecast (on a Samsung TV, though that's not relevant)
  • You can download the film to your PC and get a single .m4v file.
  • This file is however not playable in common players like VLC, so it's likely DRM protected.

in reply to Gidi Kroon

A few more fleeting moments than I remembered... It would be really interesting though to see a prequel with the story of Dream Widow, some potential there.

Jenna's character is Skye Willow, the drummer of legendary 90s band Dream Widow, that you haven't heard of due to the demonic stuff that went on in the house when they recorded their album there. Now, The Foo Fighters have moved in and history may repeat itself... Jenna is part of the backstory of the house, but I think she's one of the demons haunting it as well.

And I failed in the 'not having dinner coincide with the barbecue scene' thing.


X is out on blu-ray in Europe! I saw this film in the cinema and it was amazing.

It's getting to be quite a collection...
#XMovie #JennaOrtega

in reply to Gidi Kroon

I'd have more if these streaming companies didn't tend to block dvd / blu-ray releases. I'd definitely have The Fallout, The Babysitter: Killer Queen and Yes Day if they would be released on disc. Now I'm paying HBO Max and Netflix monthly for access to these films.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

Let's rewatch it now, before it gets too late and dark and I don't dare to see this scary movie anymore...

X (2022)

My technique for finding good films is to find a good actress and then see which films are smart enough to hire her, and which films she considers worthy of her time. I'm so happy to have found Jenna Ortega...



Jenna only won at the MTV Movie Awards 'Best Frightened Performance' for Scream! That was an amazing performance indeed, well deserved!

Failing being a positive person when fans share the new Wednesday poster for Jenna Ortega's Netflix series, are happy, and I just see "Fall 2022" on it. That's so far away!
#JennaOrtega #Wednesday #WednesdayNetflix


Jenna Ortega's film X is out on blu-ray 20 June (24 May for those in the US) and can be preordered now. I loved this so much when I saw it in the cinema! No 4k-disc, sadly. Her film Scream is already out on 4k.

Jenna is confirmed for Scream 6!

Just back from watching Studio 666 in the cinema. I knew Jenna Ortega would be in it for only a bit, which was true. Impressive how even in these small moments she delivers and makes the experience intense and captivating.
#Studio666 #JennaOrtega


Today Studio 666 is released in Dutch cinemas. This means that currently *three* films with Jenna Ortega are playing in the same cinema each day, as Scream and X are also running!
#Studio666Movie #XMovie #ScreamMovie #JennaOrtega


Christina Ricci has joined Jenna Ortega in the tv series Wednesday for Netflix, where Jenna plays the title character Wednesday Addams and Christina plays another character, not an older version of the same character. This is going to be so great!
#JennaOrtega #ChristinaRicci


I've been waiting so long for this, following along on the socials when they were making it, but I can finally watch Jenna Ortega in The Fallout!
#JennaOrtega #TheFallout

in reply to Gidi Kroon

There are some technical issues with HBO Max that means I can't watch it in full resolution and I'd wish it was on the big screen of a cinema. But it'll have to do. I've waited long enough.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

Wow.

Jenna Ortega is really the best. You can expect her to deliver the best performance in the world and then she still exceeds that.



If you're in the US, tomorrow Friday the 25th you can see Studio 666 in the cinema. This is a horror comedy with and by the Foo Fighters in which you can also see Jenna Ortega. Should be fun! I'm so jealous.
#JennaOrtega #Studio666Movie


Today Scream opens in Dutch cinemas and also today it was announced that another installment, the sixth already, will be made!

hollywoodreporter.com/movies/m…


The film X with Jenna Ortega will be released 18 March 2022 in the US. I see it listed in Dutch cinemas for 17 March 2022, but take that with a pinch of salt.

in reply to Gidi Kroon

Meanwhile HBO Max will start broadcasting in Europe on 8 March 2022, so there's a chance we get to see The Fallout then.
#JennaOrtega #TheFallout
in reply to Gidi Kroon

The world premiere of X will be 13 March 2022 on SXSW. Last year Jenna's film already won this festival, maybe again?

Seeing the amazing acting talent of Jenna Ortega on the big screen in Scream is a phenomenal experience. I recommend it to everyone, also non-horror fans. If she's already this good in a slasher, what is The Fallout going to be like?
#JennaOrtega #ScreamMovie #Scream
in reply to Gidi Kroon

Wow that was a buzz.

Also years since I've been in a cinema. Lots of distance between people, even more than required.

I really liked the film itself as well. I can't really mention it, but there are some things in films that should be 'do it, don't just say it' and this film does that right. Jenna mentioned that it was an intelligent script and I see what she means.

in reply to Gidi Kroon

I remember seeing Chloë Grace Moretz on the big screen for the first time (in The Miseducation of Cameron Post) after seeing her a lot on my tv. That was an incredible experience as well.


The release of Scream (the new one with Jenna Ortega) is still scheduled for 3 February in Dutch cinemas, but some cinemas have a prerelease this weekend. Check their schedules!
