ViacomCBS Int'l Studios Partners With Wattpad WEBTOON Studios to Discover Diverse Talent and Develop Series From WEBTOON and Wattpad Hits

VIACOMCBS INTERNATIONAL STUDIOS PARTNERS WITH WATTPAD WEBTOON STUDIOS

TO DISCOVER DIVERSE TALENT AND DEVELOP SERIES FROM WEBTOON AND WATTPAD HITS

The companies will focus on developing local language IP with built-in fandoms and global potential to fuel the content pipeline for ViacomCBS’ streaming service, Paramount+


TORONTO and NEW YORK, NY - December 8, 2021 – ViacomCBS International Studios and Wattpad WEBTOON Studios, the fan-driven global entertainment and publishing arm for WEBTOON and Wattpad, today announced a new global partnership to source emerging content and creatives from around the world to develop a slate of original series based on hit Wattpad and WEBTOON stories.  

Under the deal, Wattpad WEBTOON Studios and ViacomCBS International Studios will work together to identify stories from Wattpad and WEBTOON’s deep global IP libraries of digital comics and stories from some of the world’s most exciting indie authors. Wattpad WEBTOON Studios and ViacomCBS International Studios’ production arm, VIS, will co-produce content for ViacomCBS’ networks and platforms, including its global premium streaming service Paramount+.


Through the partnership with Wattpad WEBTOON Studios, ViacomCBS International Studios will gain access to data-backed insights and top IP from WEBTOON’s global catalogue of mega-hit digital comics and novels from diverse indie authors on Wattpad. With Wattpad WEBTOON Studios’ audience geography and sentiment insights, the companies will identify local and regional hits with global appeal, spanning Latin America, Europe, the UK, and other international markets.

To date, VIS has announced more than 30 Paramount+ Original greenlights, to fuel the streamer as it continues its global rollout, with its European expansion set for 2022. The deal positions VIS to develop some of the most exciting and unique IP in the world from WEBTOON and Wattpad, spanning a range of genres, and with built-in Gen Z and millennial global fandoms.

“ViacomCBS International Studios is committed to telling authentic, local stories from emerging creatives from all corners of the world, and through this mission, we’ve expanded to become one of the leading creators of content globally,” said Ari Tan, Vice President, Head of Strategy, ViacomCBS International Studios. “Now through our partnership with Wattpad WEBTOON Studios,  we’ll have the opportunity to use this exciting, data-driven approach to inform our storytelling and amplify new creative talents through our global platforms.”  

“Wattpad WEBTOON Studios is home to some of the most exciting new voices in comics and literature," said Aron Levitz, President of Wattpad WEBTOON Studios. “Between our massive global IP catalogue with built-in fandoms, and a roster of superstar comic artists and indie authors, we’re fueling a new era of data-backed entertainment. We’re thrilled to work with ViacomCBS International Studios,  a company that shares our vision to transform entertainment by elevating the creativity and fandoms of a new generation of storytellers. Working together with ViacomCBS International Studios, we’ll bring more diverse, original voices to screens all over the world.”

Aron Levitz

The deal is the first major global partnership from Wattpad WEBTOON Studios since merging the entertainment and publishing divisions from WEBTOON and Wattpad in June 2021. Bringing together the 166 million fans from each platform, along with massive catalogues of new IP from digital comic creators and indie authors, Wattpad WEBTOON Studios creates fan-driven entertainment.

The deal arrives as Wattpad WEBTOON Studios continues to grow its footprint in Hollywood and international entertainment markets, with  more than 100 projects in development or production around the world, and a growing number of hits on screens. The company recently wrapped production on a film adaptation of Float, based on Kate Marchant’s hit Wattpad romance of the same name. Wattpad WEBTOON Studios is producing the project alongside Lionsgate, Collective Pictures, and Brightlight Pictures.

Mainstage Theatre Company Presents 'The SpongeBob Musical' in Toronto

Toronto, ON - What do you get when you take a group of talented Toronto youth and take them on a journey to the bottom of the sea?  To quote SpongeBob SquarePants, the big yellow animated sponge that we all know and love, you get the “best day ever”.


After two years of being kept from dancing and singing live on stages because of COVID-19, a noted Toronto youth musical theatre group returns to live production at the Papermill Theatre in Todmorden Mills on Dec 8 with a production of a Broadway hit, The SpongeBob Musical, by Tina Landau and Kyle Jarrow.

The SpongeBob Musical launched in 2016 to critical acclaim.  It garnered 12 Tony Award nominations in 2018.  The musical is based on the celebrated Nickelodeon animated series with beloved characters such as SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and many more.  It features music by David Bowie, Cyndi Lauper, Lady A, Aerosmith, John Legend and many other popular musical stars.

The choice of SpongeBob as the musical show to bring kids back to live performances was quite deliberate according to the outgoing Artistic Director of Mainstage (now Executive Director of the Ottawa Fringe Festival) Alain Richer.

Members of the Mainstage Theatre Company rehearse for The SpongeBob Musical recently. The show is on at the Papermill Theatre in Todmorden Mills from Dec. 8 to 12. Photo: Submitted.
By MATTHEW VILORD

SpongeBob is an ambitious production – it is very challenging musically.  It is also lots of fun and has an optimistic message about the world, something that kids, and their parents frankly, really need right now,“ Richer told the Beach Metro.

COVID-19 has been incredibly hard on the mental health of kids and teens according to health experts.  The cessation of extra circular activities has contributed to the social isolation kids have been feeling, cut off from important social, physical and emotional outlets.

This is a sentiment echoed by Grade 12 Malvern Collegiate Institute student and cast member Georgia Helverson, who plays Pearl Krabs.

“The isolation of COVID has been hard.  It has been hard to even feel creative at all with all worry and all the limitations around being together,” she said.

Ania Rudzik, a Grade 12 student who plays Karen the Computer, said musical theatre has been instrumental in her life.

“I’ve been with Mainstage since I was 11-years-old and it has shaped me so much into the person I am today.  Mainstage gave me opportunities along with the support to really develop my skills and my confidence.”

Returning to live musical theatre has been complicated for the small organization, especially as the cohort of youth is from 11 years-old to 21 years-old which has meant accommodating kids just now becoming eligible for vaccinations.

Digital rehearsals, masked and distanced rehearsals, and daily COVID-testing during the run of the show has allowed this production to move forward with its really gifted young cast, many from the East Toronto area.

Mainstage Theatre Company is a non-profit arts education group that is known for the quality of its productions where talented youth get the opportunity to work with professional artistic teams – directors, musicians and choreographers – on productions that are staged for live audiences.

The production of SpongeBob The Musical by Mainstage Theatre Company takes place at the Papermill Theatre, 67 Pottery Rd., Dec 8 to 12.  For more details and ticket purchases please go to http://www.mainstagetheatre.com. Digital performances are also planned.

Proof of vaccination is required to attend the performances.

The SpongeBob Musical

Based on the series by Stephen Hillenberg
Book by Kyle Jarrow
Musical production conceived by Tina Landau 

The stakes are higher than ever in this dynamic stage musical, as SpongeBob and all of Bikini Bottom face the total annihilation of their undersea world. Chaos erupts. Lives hang in the balance. And just when all hope seems lost, a most unexpected hero rises up and takes center stage. The power of optimism really can save the world!
The SpongeBob Musical is based on the beloved animated series created by Stephen Hillenburg and features a book by Kyle Jarrow, with original songs by Yolanda Adams, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Sara Bareilles, Jonathan Coulton, Alexander Ebert of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, The Flaming Lips, Lady A, Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, Panic! At the Disco, Plain White T’s, They Might Be Giants and T.I., and songs by David Bowie, Tom Kenny and Andy Paley. Additional lyrics are by Jonathan Coulton, with additional music by Tom Kitt. The musical production was conceived by Tina Landau.

Super7 Unveils SpongeBob SquarePants Wave 2 ReAction Figures

Super7 Unveils SpongeBob SquarePants Wave 2 ReAction Figures


Are ya ready kids? It’s time for more SpongeBob SquarePants ReAction figures! Our favorite absorbent, yellow friend is back with all new characters inspired by Nickelodeon beloved animated series! SpongeBob SkullPants, Kah-Rah-Tay SpongeBob, SpongeGar, and Band Geeks SpongeBob are here to karate kick your nautical nonsense into high gear! So put on your eager face and get marching to the Super7 Nickelodeon Collection at https://super7.com/collections/nickelodeon! Each 3.75” scale action figure has five points of articulation and is priced $18:00.


SpongeBob SkullPants

We can all agree that splinters are the WORST, but SpongeBob’s splinter is so bad, he literally tore his face off trying to get it out! YIKES! This 3.75” articulated SpongeBob SquarePants ReAction figure of SpongeBob SkullPants reveals his entire skull as well as the pesky splinter he tore his face off trying to remove. We’re sure glad SpongeBob was eventually able to get the splinter removed and reduce the swelling, but one thing that WILL be swelling is your collection, when you add the SpongeBob ReAction figure of SpongeBob SkullPants! Features fully exposed skull detail.

Band Geeks SpongeBob

In the climax of what is largely considered one of the best episodes of the entire SpongeBob SquarePants series, SpongeBob’s power-ballad-worthy vocals helped the previously rag-tag marching band deliver a shockingly good performance, redeeming Squidward in front of his high school nemesis, Squilliam Fancyson. This 3.75” articulated SpongeBob SquarePants ReAction figure of Band Geeks SpongeBob includes microphone accessory and shows SpongeBob channeling his inner rock-god. Just as SpongeBob and his band reached new heights, so can your collection by adding the SpongeBob SquarePants ReAction figure of Band Geeks SpongeBob! Features marching band member detail and includes microphone accessory.

Kah-Rah-Tay SpongeBob

When SpongeBob and Sandy’s game of “Kah-Rah-Tay'' ramps up, it can get super intense, but SAFETY COMES FIRST! This 3.75” articulated SpongeBob SquarePants ReAction figure of Kah-Rah-Tay SpongeBob shows him outfitted in his oversized helmet and karate hands, ready to unleash his special brand of martial arts fury. Once he gets into Kah-Rah-Tay mode, it’s nearly impossible to get SpongeBob to stop, and we know it would be equally hard for you to not add the SpongeBob SquarePants ReAction figure of Kah-Rah-Tay SpongeBob to your collection! Features oversized safety helmet and “karate hands”

SpongeGar

He can’t be called SpongeBob SquarePants if pants haven’t been invented yet! Behold, SpongeGar, the loin-cloth-wearing ancient ancestor of our beloved SpongeBob. This 3.75” articulated SpongeBob SquarePants ReAction figure of SpongeBob SpongeGar features said loin-cloth and primitive caveman-esque detail like prominent brow, overbite, and large pointed teeth. You’d have to be as primitive as he is not to see that adding the SpongeBob SquarePants ReAction figure of SpongeGar is the next evolutionary step for your collection! Features prehistoric cave-man detail.

Loot Crate To Launch 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' Limited Edition Crate Series in 2022

Loot Crate To Launch Avatar: The Last Airbender Collection in 2022


Ever wanted a physical loot box full of random Avatar: The Last Airbender merchandise to arrive at your doorstep? Well, don’t worry. Loot Crate has got you covered there. Or at least, they’re going to next year.

Loot Crate is proud to announce their new line of Avatar: The Last Airbender limited edition crates, called the Elemental Masters Collection. These crates will be part of a 4-crate set that will arrive at your doorstep every 3 months starting from June 5 to June 15, 2022. You can preorder this series directly from Loot Crate for $49.99 (plus shipping). Unfortunately, you have to preorder by May 27, 2022 at 9:00 PM to get this collection. So if you want these random crates of Avatar: The Last Airbender merch, you might want to preorder before that date. Unless you know to invent timebending, of course.

The synopsis for the collection reads: "What kind of bender are you? Whether you’re a member of the Air Nomads, the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, or even the Fire Nation, it’s time to celebrate the legendary series that influenced a generation of fans! Get a surprise mix of exclusive, officially licensed items from the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender delivered to your door every 3 months in this limited edition 4-crate collection inspired by the Nations."


So what’s in each of these Avatar: The Last Airbender loot crates? Well, as you can see above, each crate nets you a random selection of merchandise based on the beloved Nickelodeon animated series. The selection includes clothing (including premium shirts), home goods, pins, accessories, utility items, and even collectible busts. There’s one of Aang, Katara, Zuko, and Toph. You know what that means: gotta collect them all.


Each of the four boxes will be themed after an element featured in the series. The first Loot Crate you get is “Water”, so Katara is going to be your first bust. Not only that, but you also get a Water Tribe-themed shirt to go with it, along with presumably other Water Tribe-themed merch. Assuming that the others follow the same pattern, that means Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomad-themed merchandise in that order, just like in the intro.

'RuPaul’s Drag Race' Favorites Set to Guest Star In 'iCarly' Season 2

RuPaul’s Drag Race favorities Scarlet Envy, Monique Heart, Rosé, and Kandy Muse are set to guest star in the second season of Paramount+'s hit iCarly revival!


The news was announced in a video featuring all four queens which was posted directly from the set to the official iCarly Instagram page. In the video, Envy, Heart, Rosé and Muse were hype up the show — and it wasn’t the only video, either.


“‘Kay y’all, guess what we are filming this week?” Kandy asked. “Ooh baby that is…iCarly!”

Fans were treated to an additional promo courtesy of the RuPaul’s Drag Race Twitter page encouraging viewers, “Don’t miss it!”


The original Nickelodeon run of iCarly was a fave of young millennials and older zoomers, airing from 2007 to 2012 and starring Miranda Cosgrove as a vlogger who has to learn to balance her newfound internet stardom with her normal life, alongside her best friends.

Everything that ends seems to come back around again, so Paramount+ revived a version of the show that features the eponymous vlogger reviving HER show, and season two is scheduled to premiere in 2022.

The series already received bigoted backlash after it cast Laci Mosley, who is Black and bisexual, as Carly’s new roommate, who is also queer in the show. So unfortunately it isn’t surprising that bringing drag queens onto the series, even presumably for just a guest appearance, is being met with mixed reactions as well.

Fortunately, the queens come with their own fan bases and they’re ready to jump on board the nostalgia train alongside the pro-drag iCarly fans and check out this colorful collab.
