Brady United is collaborating with more than 200 working mothers in the entertainment industry on a new campaign called #FiredUp, urging that Hollywood include more depictions of gun safety in scripts.
The campaign is being led by a group including producer and executive Jen Gorton, producer and executive Stacy Calabrese and writer Jessica Kantor. In a statement, Gorton said that they “hope by engaging with people in all aspects of TV and filmmaking, on all levels, we can change the culture from the ground up.” The idea is to shift perspective on the depiction of guns and gun safety in the same way that the industry highlighted drunk driving, smoking and seatbelt use.
Brady president Kris Brown said that the “first ask” of the group is to write gun safety messages in scripts, including characters locking away firearms. Brady United already has been in the midst of a “Show Gun Safety” campaign,...

Amazon Studios has bought rights from Stx and Mwm to Dave Bautista’s family comedy “My Spy” for exclusive streaming on Amazon Prime in the U.S. and some foreign markets.
No streaming date has been set yet. The deal takes place with U.S. movie theaters not expected to open for several more months with studios vacating most release dates until the mid-summer at the earliest.
On March 6, during the early stages of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, Stx had moved the North American release date back a month to April 17 in order to take advantage of a slot that had opened up after “Trolls World Tour” moved up open on April 10. At that point, Stx indicated that “My Spy,” which cost $18 million to produce, would benefit from expanded awareness.
In “My Spy,” Bautista finds himself forced to teach spycraft to a precocious 9-year-old girl, played by Chloe Coleman of “Big Little Lies.

Dave Bautista’s “My Spy” is moving its North American release date back a month to April 17 in order to take advantage of a recently cleared slot for the family comedy.
After “No Time to Die” was pushed from April 10 to November due to the coronavirus slowing the global box office, “Trolls World Tour” moved up to take the movie’s former release date. This left the weekend of April 17 open for “My Spy,” which STXFilms moved on Friday, a week before the film would have opened on March 13.
The company indicated that “My Spy,” which cost $18 million to produce, has opened well in Australia and New Zealand and the studio believes the shift gives it an opportunity to expand awareness with an insignificant impact on its media spend.
The major titles opening on its former release date of March 13 are Sony’s action pic “Bloodshot” and Universal’s horror thriller “The Hunt.
