Iconic “The Wonder Years” & “Law & Order” Actress Olivia D’abo is Featured in GoFundMe Campaign for Sci-Fi/Horror Film Paying Homage to Classic Cinema

West Hollywood, CA, May 11, 2022 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Independent production studio HJFILMWORLD launches GoFundMe campaign for sci-fi/horror feature film “The Betty,” starring Olivia D’abo (“The Wonder Years,” “Law & Order,” “Conan The Destroyer”).

“The Betty” is created by newcomers director Hasan Ali and co-writer/co-producer Jeremy Baker. Through their production company, HJFILMWORLD, they have started developing “The Betty,” with Olivia D’abo attached.

Set in an alternate reality, “The Betty” tells a story of an unlikely group of heroes accepting their destiny to stop a returning evil from destroying humanity. This story follows Kasia Landen (played by Olivia D’abo), the billionaire psychic, Alonzo, the Hunter, and Aiko AKA Short Round, the quirky hacker and badass martial artist, as they set on a journey to save humanity from being infected by disease-carrying monsters known as Hellions. “The Betty” is an elegant love letter to classic science-fiction and horror. It is inspired by cult classics such as “Dirty Harry,” “Bullitt,” “Big Trouble In Little China,” “Blade,” and others.

“’The Betty’ screenplay was originally written with Olivia D’abo in mind. We took much inspiration from Olivia’s iconic role as Princess Jehnna in ‘Conan The Destroyer.’ Once reading the script, Olivia was on board,” said Ali.

Said Olivia D’abo, “I am so excited to work with Hasan and Jeremy. Apart from being enormously talented, I think they have a really solid feel for old school cinema and nostalgia.” D’abo continues, “I’m always really grateful for the roles that still resonate with the fans and that’s why I know deep down in my heart that the fans are going to absolutely love what’s in store next.”

Ali stated, “Having Olivia on board of this project is the cherry on top. This is a film that has to be made to reinvigorate a love of cinema of a special time in sci-fi and horror while projecting forward in retro-futuristic aesthetic. This is why we chose the route to fund this movie via GoFundMe. It has to be made by any means necessary.”

Netflix Groups Book Adaptations Under New ‘Watch Your Favorite Books’ Collection

Netflix Groups Book Adaptations Under New ‘Watch Your Favorite Books’ Collection

Balle Balle Radio Entertainment Desk

Netflix has organized its book-to-screen adaptations into a new curated genre called Watch Your Favorite Books, letting subscribers browse titles by the kind of story they’re looking for, according to Netflix Life. Other outlets covering the rollout describe the collection as available globally, adding a distribution detail the original piece didn’t include.

The move follows Netflix’s earlier Book Club initiative, which brought together authors, showrunners and cast members to discuss adaptations including Bridgerton, Sweet Magnolias and Pieces of Her.

Netflix Life’s roundup of the collection’s standouts includes Sweet Magnolias, adapted from the first three books of Sherryl Woods’ 11-part series and centered on three lifelong friends played by JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Heather Headley and Brooke Elliott. Bridgerton, based on Julia Quinn’s novels, devotes each season to a different sibling, with the outlet noting the Benedict-and-Sophie storyline in particular draws comparisons to a class-crossing fairy tale.

The list also covers One Day, adapted from David Nicholls’ novel and previously made into a 2011 film starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess, which Netflix Life argues benefits from more room to develop its Edinburgh-set storyline with Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod. Jenny Han’s Lara Jean books appear via To All the Boys, which spawned a film trilogy and the spinoff series XO, Kitty. Rounding out the list: an eight-episode take on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie that expands on the Osage community’s role, a version of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women that gives extra time to Beth’s illness and Jo and Laurie’s relationship, and My Life With the Walter Boys, based on Ali Novak’s novel about a teenager who moves in with a large blended family after tragedy.

Netflix hasn’t said how often the Watch Your Favorite Books collection will be updated or how titles are selected for it.
