NEWS - Netflix, abbiamo un problema sulle terze stagioni! Dopo il cast di "Stranger Things", anche quello di "Tredici" chiede l'aumento per la stagione 3. E sulla crescita d'ascolti tra la prima e la seconda non ci sono prove...

News tratta da "Deadline"
It’s come down to the wire for Netflix’s hugely popular drama series 13 Reasons Why, which is scheduled to do the first table read for the upcoming third season tomorrow but its eight core cast members are still renegotiating their contracts. We hear that negotiations are still ongoing but as of Wednesday night, there were no deals and the sides were still apart on money. However, we hear the gap has been bridged significantly today, and sources close to the situation sounded optimistic that agreements would be reached in time for Season 3’s start of production, scheduled for Monday. We hear Dylan Minnette, who has emerged as the sole lead following the departure of original star Katherine Langford, is seeking a Season 3 salary in the $200,000 per episode range, while Brandon Flynn, Alisha Boe, Justin Prentice, Christian Navarro, Miles Heizer, Devin Druid and Ross Butler are looking for about $150,000 an episode. That is way above the group’s start salaries, said to be in the $20,000 – $60,000 an episode range, with Minnette believed to have started higher, around or north of $80,000. It is customary for the cast of successful shows to seek raises after Season 2. The impetus for the salary demands by the 13 Reasons Why actors likely were the huge raises that the cast of another hit Netflix series, Stranger Things, recently gotheading into Season 3. They are believed to be paid as much as $350,000 an episode for the adult leads and $250,000 an episode for the child actors this season. There is a difference in the size of the orders. Stranger Things will produce eight episodes while 13 Reasons Why’s order is for 13 episodes, which may explain some of the per-episode salary discrepancies between the two shows as the per-season compensation is relatively on par. We hear Paramount TV, which produces the series with Anonymous Content, and Netflix have been trying to close the new deals for the 13 Reasons Why actors today with new offers closer to the ask (we hear for the seven, it’s about $135,000 an episode in Season 3, rising to $150,000 in Season 4; for Minnette we hear the remaining gap is about $20,000). We will update if/when agreements are reached. All actors are still under contracts, so we hear expectation is that they would show up for work though the studio would like to wrap the renegotiations before that. 13 Reasons Why was a breakout hit for Netflix. While it has faced controversy over its graphic depictions of suicide and sexual violence, it is among Netflix’s most watched series. We hear that Netflix has said during the negotiations that ratings have slipped from Season 1 to Season 2 but since the streaming service does not release viewership data, that is hard to substantiate. In recent weeks, following 13 Reasons Why‘s Season 3 renewal, Netflix executives have been effusive in their praise of the show’s performance. “13 Reasons Why has been enormously popular and successful. It’s engaging content,” CEO Reed Hastings recently said  during the company’s annual shareholder meeting. “It is controversial. But nobody has to watch it.” At TCA several days ago, Netflix VP content Cindy Halland also called 13 Reasons Why “one of our most popular shows.”

NEWS - "'Tredici' è una storia d'amore bellissima...e speri che Hannah non si sia davvero suicidata": il volto-rivelazione della stagione, Dylan Minnette, a ruota libera per "Raw"

RAW: Were you surprised by the response to 13 Reasons Why, or did you expect it?

DYLAN: We were all hoping for a big audience but we never expected anything. The response has been slightly overwhelming, just because there’s a large amount of people watching… judging off of the Internet, people coming up to me, and just things that I hear. I’m thrilled with it, and everyone on the show is.

RAW: Is it weird that people just binge it and they’re done in two days, and you’re just, “Oh my god, that is my life for half of a year.”

DYLAN: It honestly is very weird. I worked over six and a half months, just as everybody did. And the fact that everyone can just watch it all in a day… But hey, it’s out there forever and new people will be watching it forever, so it is a long lasting product.

RAW: Whenever Clay got frustrated, I felt like it was Dylan in a lot of ways, but then there are parts of him that were so different from you. Is there another character you share some qualities in?

DYLAN: Tony or Jeff. Those guys are very, very good guys at heart and everybody should try to be more like Tony and Jeff, especially Jeff. A helpful Yoda, a classic term thanks to Brian Yorkey.

RAW: Clay is the one we kind of follow throughout the story, even though Hannah’s obviously the narrator and it’s largely her story. How do you think it shapes the story being through Clay’s eyes?

DYLAN: Over the series, you see more and more how much Clay cared about her and how much he loved her. By seeing their relationship grow, it only helps you love Hannah that much more and and wish she doesn’t do what she’s ultimately going to do even more. The majority of viewers can find themselves halfway through, hoping that in the end she doesn’t take her life, when you know what the outcome is. By the end, you’re yelling at the screen, “Don’t do it, don’t do it.” You know what’s going to happen. It gives you hope. Clay is keeping her alive in that way, just by trying to bring her justice and keep her memory around for the better.

RAW: It makes you feel so heartbreaken that you’re watching this beautiful love story unfold. And at the same time, you know that it doesn’t have a happy ending. You can’t do anything but feel it and love it, and feel it so intensely.

DYLAN: Yeah, if you just took the flashbacks of Clay and Hannah, it would just be, besides Romeo and Juliet, the saddest, little, most awkward, tragic love story ever.

RAW: You have a lot of beautiful emotional scenes. Did you feel intimidated when you read them in the script, and how did they change when you actually filmed them?

DYLAN: I always feel really intimidated reading anything I have to do on the page. Even though, he worst thing for me, the hardest thing is to laugh. If it says, “Clay laughs uncontrollably,” I’m stressed for the whole couple weeks leading up to filming that scene. It’s impossible for me, I cannot fake laugh no matter what. But, funnily enough, Brian Yorkey, the showrunner, I feel like every time I would tell him something that I’m afraid of doing, the next week sure enough that would be in it. Brian just kept challenging me. It was evil, but in a great way because I’ve never had this prmoninent, this important of a character to play before.

RAW: You’ve said you read the book after having filmed the show because you wanted your Clay to be different.

DYLAN: I’m thankful that I didn’t read ’till afterwards just because I was Clay for so long, and then reading it, it just… I felt like I was inside the book and I felt responsible and I felt how you’re supposed to feel when you read that book. There’s no world where I would’ve been taken out of it at all.

RAW: The show never really talked down or sugar coated anything for kids or teens. How do you think that affected the final product?

DYLAN: We really surprised people because I don’t think anybody would expect us or anybody else to go there. You have to go there because if we’re making a PG, PG-13 or TV-14 version of this, you’re verging on romanticising it because you can’t make it horrifying for anybody. You almost can’t get these messages across. You won’t be able to identify the Bryce’s of the world if you’re not forced to see the horrid acts that he’s done.

RAW: Kind of veering off course here. We both, me first, I have to take credit, got obsessed with Revival by Selena Gomez. So what’s your favorite song off that album?

DYLAN: I got into Revival too and my favorite song off of Revival is hands down “Me & the Rhythm”. That song.

RAW: Underrated.

DYLAN: So underrated. Why wasn’t that song a bigger hit? I mean, maybe it was. I just didn’t know. But I remember hearing that song and going, “Oh my god this is so good. This beat, and the melody, and the chorus. It’s so catchy.” I wish I could write a song as catcy as “Me & The Rhythm” by Selena Gomez. That is, I love that song.

RAW: Also, for those who don’t know, what’s your position in your band The Wallows?

DYLAN: As a collective, Cole, Braeden and I switch off on a lot of stuff in the studio. In the studio, we have no assigned job. We just kind of say, “Do you want to play this? I’ll play this.” We just kind of write the parts together. But live, I primarily play guitar, and I sing. But we all can switch around and do all that good stuff. It’s a group effort.

RAW: What was your last concert that you went to?

DYLAN: Car Seat Headrest at the Regent Theater in Downtown LA.

RAW: Well, everyone is very excited to watch you guys do your thing for another season of ’13’ because you all are amazing, so talented, and have genuine chemistry. And it’s not fake chemistry where people are like “we’re a family” and they’re not.

DYLAN: Everyone really loves each other and it really is a family now at this point. I think everyone would be so excited to work with each other again. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens. I want to see other people do more on the show. I want to see more stories from the other characters and Clay can take a seat on the sidelines.

RAW: I don’t think that’s going to be happening. Sorry Dylan.

DYLAN: Well, you never know. ^RAW

CORRIERE DELLA SERA
"Tredici", il teen drama più conturbante della tv
"Ciao a tutti. Spero per voi che siate pronti, perché sto per raccontarvi la storia della mia vita. O meglio, come mai è finita. E se state ascoltando queste cassette è perché voi siete una delle ragioni. Non vi dirò quale nastro vi chiamerà in causa. Ma non preoccupatevi, se avete ricevuto questo bel pacco regalo, prima o poi il vostro nome salterà fuori...». La voce è di Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford), una ragazza del liceo che si è suicidata, vittima del bullismo di alcuni compagni. Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette) ascolta il primo dei nastri che qualcuno ha lasciato davanti alla sua porta. I nastri sono incisi su vecchie musicassette, in pieno contrasto tecnologico con i social, è stanno per sconvolgere più di un'esistenza. Prodotto da Netflix, creato da Brian Yorkey e basato sul romanzo omonimo di Jay Asher, «Tredici» («13 Reasons Why») è il teen drama più conturbante della serialità americana: 13 puntate, 13 persone coinvolte, 13 storie che si intrecciano, 13 motivi di una morte cui tutti, a vario titolo, hanno contribuito. II libro è stato pubblicato nel 2007 e ora Mondadori lo ripropone in una nuova grafica ispirata alla serie. Guidato dalla voce della ragazza (un interessante utilizzo della voice over), il solitario Clay, in apparenza il più innocente di tutti, ripercorre i momenti trascorsi con Hannah, di cui era innamorato. C'è un doppio registro narrativo (giocato su piani temporali diversi) che rende la serie coinvolgente. Da una parte il tema del bullismo, della superficialità e della spietatezza di certi rapporti, del clima di complicità che le istituzioni spesso riescono a creare. Dall'altra (ed è l'aspetto più innovativo) il contrasto tra vecchi e nuovi media, tra la lentezza vin-tage di un mondo che non conosce ancora Google Maps e la velocità dei social. In mezzo l'«effetto farfalla», teorizzato da Hannah: da un lontano battito d'ali ecco l'uragano di una tragedia inattesa". (Aldo Grasso)
