Former Nickelodeon star Allie Dimeco recently posted a TikTok video in which she claimed she was once forced to kiss an older male on the set of “The Naked Brothers Band,” in which she starred as Rosalina. The series, created by Polly Draper, used the mockumentary format and starred Nat Wolff and Alex Wolff as fictionalized members of a family rock band. Rosalina was Nat’s love interest on the show, but their relationship hit a speed bump in Season 3 when she had a quick fling with a French man (Jake Hertzog).
Dimeco told her followers that she had been “stressed” while watching “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” the buzzy ID Discovery documentary about abuse allegations at Nickelodeon, and said “I went through trauma” of her own during her time at Nickelodeon.

Actor Alex Wolff – whose credits include The Naked Brothers Band, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, Patriots Day, My Friend Dahmer, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Jumanji: The Next Level, Hereditary, Pig, Old, and Oppenheimer – made his feature writing and directing debut with the 2019 drama The Cat and the Moon. Now he’s set to follow that up with the “dark and sexy” psychological thriller If She Burns, and The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that the film is going to star Victoria Pedretti (You), Asa Butterfield (Sex Education), and Justice Smith (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves). Wolff has also reserved a role in the film for himself.
If She Burns will follow a fiery young woman (Pedretti) who travels to Europe with her dysfunctional family after a traumatic incident. There she finds refuge and danger in a turbulent affair with her enigmatic neighbor (Wolff), which, along with increasing family tensions and mysterious wildfires,...

Nat Wolff has been really famous a couple of times. The first was in 2007, when his show The Naked Brothers Band (based on his real-life musical group) became Nickelodeon’s most popular kids’ series — that was the kind of fame that got him bullied at his New York City middle school. Then, in 2015, he led Paper Towns, the big-screen adaptation of John Green’s blockbuster YA novel — that was the screaming-teen-girls-following-you-on-a-global-press-tour variety.
Now he’s preparing for the release of a series that features his first starring TV role — and a run alongside Parker Posey and Hari Nef in an off-Broadway adaptation of The Seagull/Woodstock, NY — and feeling further from those days than ever. “A couple of girls followed me home from rehearsals the other day, and it made me realize I barely think about being a child star,” says the 28-year-old over late-morning shrimp tacos in Times Square.

This The Consultant review contains no spoilers.
Prime Video has become one of the more underrated streamers when compared to Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, and its other competitors. While Amazon’s streamer boasts big titles like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and The Boys, it does, however, lack the abundance of content that the other major players in the streaming game possess. Prime Video isn’t lacking in originality, though. When it does release a new series, you can expect it will typically be able to carve out a niche in its genre of choice.
Enter the much-anticipated Christoph Waltz vehicle, The Consultant. Based on the novel by acclaimed horror writer Bentley Little, this eight-episode first season created by Tony Basgallop (Servant) has largely been marketed as a black comedy by Amazon and various media outlets in the months before release.

Nat Wolff has been in the spotlight since the early years of his adolescence, starring alongside his brother Alex on Nickelodeon's hit series "The Naked Brothers Band." After the show came to an end in 2009, Wolff went on to further his career with roles in films like "The Fault in Our Stars," "Paper Towns," "Palo Alto," and more. Wolff has also continued working on music with his younger brother under their band name Nat & Alex Wolff. They recently dropped a new single titled "Head's on Loose."
While juggling his career, Wolff - who is set to star as Craig in Prime Video's new series "The Consultant" out Feb. 24 - has also been involved in his fair share of public romances.

Alex Wolff of Hereditary worked with director Michael Sarnoski on his Nicolas Cage drama Pig (watch it Here), and now Wolff and Sarnoski are set to team up again on Sarnoski’s latest directing endeavor: the A Quiet Place spin-off A Quiet Place: Day One. Deadline reports that Wolff is joining 12 Years a Slave Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn – better known as Eddie Munson from the most recent season of Stranger Things – in the cast of the film.
Jeff Nichols (Midnight Special) was attached to write and direct A Quiet Place: Day One for a while, but when he dropped out he was replaced by Sarnoski. The story does take place in the same world established in the first two movies, but apparently doesn’t involve the Abbott family, the characters we followed through the two movies directed by John Krasinski.

Exclusive: Alex Wolff has signed on to star opposite the previously announced Kiersey Clemons in Sophie Kargman’s thriller, Susie Searches.
Kargman’s feature directorial debut is based on her 2020 short of the same name, in which she starred alongside Delon de Metz, Sam Lerner, Gabriel Notarangelo and Alison Rich. The darkly comic thriller follows Susie (Clemons), an awkward college student who seizes the opportunity to bolster her popularity—and her overlooked true-crime podcast—by solving the disappearance of a classmate. But as her investigation proceeds, we realize that the truth and Susie aren’t at all what they seem.
Wolff will play Jesse, the charismatic college kid whose disappearance sparks Susie’s investigation. While Jesse has become a campus celebrity thanks to his positivity-themed social media platform, it turns out his private life is much more complicated than his online persona suggests.
Kargman wrote the script with William Day Frank.

Alex Wolff has never been unacquainted with fame. After starring in Nickelodeon’s “The Naked Brothers Band” movie and series when he was a kid alongside his older brother Nat, he quickly rose to stardom as a young actor and musician.
More than 15 years later, Wolff has appeared in a wide array of feature films, from Ad Aster’s unsettling horror film “Hereditary” to the hit “Jumanji” sequels. He now stars alongside Nicolas Cage in “Pig” as a young man named Amir who runs a truffle resale business in Portland. While preparing for the movie, Wolff came to realize how much he had in common with the character he was playing.
“For this role, I rediscovered this part of myself that maybe I was embarrassed about,” Wolff told Variety.
Amir buys truffles from Rob (Cage), a melancholic truffle hunter who lives alone in a cabin in the Oregon wilderness with his beloved pig.

The Red Hood is one of the most confusing characters within the DC Comics mythos.

Working on “Human Capital” was a reunion for Alex Wolff and Maya Hawke.
The two play love interests in the indie thriller about a horrific accident that causes two families to fracture as secrets are uncovered and threatened to be exposed.
It turns out that Wolff and Hawke went to pre-school together in New York City. They even dressed as Power Rangers together for Halloween, Wolff, 22, tells me on this week’s episode of “The Big Ticket,” Variety and iHeart’s weekly podcast. “I feel like Maya’s going to deny that she dressed as a Power Ranger for Halloween, and I just want to go on record, she’s lying,” Wolff cracked.
In the movie, Wolff plays a loner with anger issues. He’s very similar to the high schooler he plays in “The Cat and the Moon,” which also marked his feature film writing and directing debut.

In show business, some child actors don’t make the jump, with the industry stalling their careers by adulthood.
But not Alex Wolff.
Having enjoyed early success by the time he was 10 with his brother Nat on the 2007-09 Nickelodeon mockumentary series The Naked Brothers Band, which revolved around them and their band and was created by their mom, Thirtysomething actress Polly Draper, Alex since has blossomed into a nuanced actor, sublimely disappearing into gritty parts. Take your pick: There’s Ari Aster’s Hereditary, in which he plays 16-year-old Peter, who, well, has something to do with his sister’s decapitation. At this past Tiff alone, Wolff had three film premieres: The Castle in the Ground, for which he lost 30 pounds to play an orphaned teenager who becomes addicted to opioids; playing a school news editor in the midst of the principal’s corrupt school system crisis in Bad Education...

Does an actor who writes a part for himself, then directs himself in that part, become a trio of collaborators or an unruly split personality? Not that either scenario can’t make for an interesting film, but outside of a handful of rock-star examples, usually starting with that “Citizen Kane” dude, it’s the kind of ambition that rarely reveals mastery of all three disciplines.
Twenty-one-year-old Alex Wolff, an ex-Nickelodeon star who lay to rest plenty of child-actor baggage last year with his searing turn as Toni Collette’s teenage son in “Hereditary,” hasn’t always been just a performer, having written music for the kid series he headlined with brother Nat (“The Naked Brothers Band”) and even a play that his actor-director mother Polly Draper staged at a small theater in New York.

Some parents pull strings to enroll their kids in their alma mater. In Hollywood, celebrity parents have been hammering together family showcases for their progeny — backyard plays elevated to the screen — and taking their own bows as writer, director, producer, or co-star. Earlier this summer was “The Year of Spectacular Men,” Lea Thompson and Howard Deutch’s salute to their daughters Madelyn and Zoey, and the most recent endowment is “Stella’s Last Weekend,” by actress-turned-filmmaker Polly Draper, which stars her sons Nat and Alex Wolff as two brothers dragged across the threshold of maturity over a dramatic weekend with one virginity loss, one fraternal betrayal, and one dying dog, the Stella of the title.
It’s inaccurate to consider “Stella’s Last Weekend” merely an expensive gift from Draper to her sons. Nat and Alex are both sought-after young actors who, since their days together on Nickelodeon’s “The Naked Brothers Band,...

Jeffrey Dahmer murdered seventeen men and boys in the Midwest United States between 1978 and 1991 before being captured and incarcerated. This is the story before that story.
Jeff Dahmer is an awkward teenager who collects roadkill. It’s the end of his junior year and he’s practically invisible. His family life (Anne Heche as Joyce Dahmer) is coming undone. He fixates on a neighborhood jogger who routinely passes by his house. By the start of senior year, he acts out, throwing epileptic-like fits in the halls. His goofball antics win over a group of band-nerds who form The Dahmer Fan Club headed by Backderf. This camaraderie can’t mask his growing depravity as approaching graduation Jeff spirals further out of control.

Everyone in the thriller Hereditary is downright terrifying. As Annie, the matriarch of the Graham family, Toni Collette gave us chills. As for her little girl, Charlie? While she's adorable at first, things with her get ugly fast.

Everyone in the thriller Hereditary is downright terrifying. As Annie, the matriarch of the Graham family, Toni Collette gave us chills. As for her little girl, Charlie? While she's adorable at first, things with her get ugly fast.

Alex Wolff delights in terrifying people. The star of Ari Aster’s Sundance sensation, “Hereditary,” is already collecting reactions to the horror breakout, and it’s the shortest ones that stick with him the most. “The best one is, ‘What the hell?,'” he said in an interview. “People come out [of the film] and they just go, ‘Oh my God, wow.’ They’re completely just taken aback by the movie. It’s the ideal situation.”
The film, Aster’s feature debut, premiered in the festival’s Midnight section this past January, where it instantly captivated and terrified its audience. And that terror hasn’t abated in the months leading up to the film’s wide release from indie distributor A24, which brought the film to Sundance and later signed Aster’s next film, reported to be the company’s biggest production yet. “Hereditary” follows a fractured family, including mom Annie (Toni Collette...

Life imitated art for Asa Butterfield and Alex Wolff in their new movie The House of Tomorrow.
The film tells the story of an outcast teen named Sebastian, played by Butterfield, who befriends a young, budding punk rocker named Jared, played Wolff.
Just like their onscreen counterparts, Wolff and Butterfield developed a student-teacher relationship when it came to learning to play their instruments.
“I taught Asa bass, so all the scenes with music, all of that is live. None of that is with overdubs, none of it is us doing overdubs or another musician, we’re doing it live and on the day.

Sony and Jake Kasdan’s Jumanji sequel may be in active production in Honolulu – see the first set videos here – but the studio’s casting spree continues apace today, with Ser’Darius Blain, Madison Iseman, Alex Wolff, Morgan Turner and Rhys Darby all landing supporting roles.
Making tracks for the depths of the jungle to join Dwayne Johnson and Co., news of Jumanji rounding out its starry ensemble hailed from both Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter, after the latter confirmed that Alex Wolff, rising star behind The Naked Brothers Band, has joined the continuation as Spencer. If that name rings a bell, it should. Back when Johnson unveiled the first concept art of his hulking Dr. Smolder Bravestone, a masthead teased that Bravestone would actually be the in-game avatar for Spencer and, thanks to THR’s report, we now have confirmation that that is indeed the case.

• Hugh Jackman is attached to star in Orders to Kill for director Lee Daniels, playing real-life lawyer William Pepper, who has spent his life contending that Martin Luther King, Jr. was not assassinated by James Earl Ray, but by interests keen to silence his opposition to the Vietnam War. The film is based on Pepper’s book of the same name. The historic civil rights leader is a significant figure for both men: Daniels just cast True Blood’s Nelsan Ellis to play King in The Butler, his biopic about Eugene Allen, who worked in the White House for four decades.

There are moments during certain romantic comedies when you might find yourself throwing up your hands and growling, “come on!” under your breath. And with good reason: the improbability of plotlines and inconsistencies of characters are enough to drive even the sappiest of us screaming from the theaters, scouring the streets for the realism and even cynicism that seems to have deserted us over the course of the film. “Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding,” from director Bruce Beresford (“Driving Miss Daisy,” “Tender Mercies”), is not one of these kinds of rom-coms. At least, not entirely. Though wildly predictable from the outset, and undoubtedly sentimental in its bits of hippie-dippie, lovey-dovey wisdom, the movie doesn’t stray too far from the real world, and ultimately drives home an honest and applicable moral about accepting your family, warts and all.
The film wastes no time getting its story off the ground. Dialogue filters in over a black screen.

He's the naked brother of Alex Wolff, and the first born son of actress Polly Draper and jazz pianist Michael Wolff. He's Nathaniel Marvin "Nat" Wolff, an American musician, composer, and child actor who is best known for portraying himself on the Nickelodeon television series titled Naked Brothers Band (TV). Nat was born on December 17, 1994 in Los Angeles, California. At an early age, he placed signs on his bedroom door that read "I want to be a child actor." His mother was not enthusiastic at first, since she didn't want her children exposed to the entertainment culture at such a young age. In order to please Nat, Polly decided to let him film his own sitcom called Don't Eat Off My Plate. It involved Polly pretending to interview Nat's friends in a mock documentary chronicling their life as fictional young rock stars. She took over as writer, producer, and director of this project,...
