While legendary directors like John Waters and Francis Ford Coppola struggle to get their latest cinematic ventures off the ground, Maude Apatow has revealed the one easy hack to get any movie made: nepotism. The daughter of Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann is set to make her directorial debut with Poetic License, a film about two best friends vying for the affection of the same middle-aged woman. The coming-of-age movie, which sounds like something straight out of the Judd Apatow oeuvre, will be the first film produced under the Euphoria star’s new production company Jewelbox Pictures, which will look to develop “bold and complex human stories.”

Speaking of legendary directors, ever wonder what they think about when they’re casting for blockbusters? In the case of Furiosa, Anya Taylor-Joy found herself in the titular role because George Miller thought she was the type of person he would hang out with during a hypothetical apocalypse. Miller, Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth took to the CinemaCon stage to preview the Warner Bros. film ahead of its May release. Taylor-Joy described it as “one woman’s commitment to unrelenting hope,” while Hemsworth created a “twisted, cruel and charming” amalgamation of the world’s most infamous dictators for his antagonist Dr. Dementus.

Over on the timeline, the legendary posters are keeping the timeline fresh with their comedy. Today’s funniest tweets include those about a small talker’s nightmare, an unsettling truth about raisins and a place where guys can get the snip as they listen to Taylor Swift.
