The currently untitled project will follow Candy’s journey from childhood in Long Island beauty pageantry to her time performing alongside Holly Woodlawn and Jackie Curtis as a member of the East Village experimental theatre group, La Mama Etc., and starring in Warhol’s groundbreaking film, Women In Revolt. Christian D. Bruun, Louis Spiegler, and Katrina Wolfe are producing alongside executive producer, Zackary Drucker (Transparent, Lady and the Dale). A director has yet to be confirmed. A cult figure in New York’s downtown scene, Candy’s legacy can be felt across culture, from inspiring the lyrics for songs by Lou Reed, The Velvet Underground, and St. Vincent, to featuring in Patti Smith’s memoir, Just Kids. “Candy Darling is the blueprint: a transsexual glamour girl and indie icon reigning over Warhol's Manhattan and Nixon’s America. She burned fast and bright. more than anything, she wanted to be taken seriously as an actress. She taught girls like me how to dream – perhaps even how to be at all,” Nef wrote on Instagram. “I have a drawing from her diary tattooed on my arm. It's the honour of my life to get the chance to play her on the screen, where she remains… This is an overwhelming joy and a privilege I take very ******* seriously! I’ll see you all on the wild side,” she added. To prepare for the role, Nef is consulting with those who knew Candy well, including Jeremiah Newton, one of Candy’s best friends and unofficial custodian of her legacy. Nef is also starring in the release of Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Barbie film and HBO’s The Idol, directed by Euphoria’s Sam Levinson.

While no film reached the viewership of Q4 2021’s most watched film Red Notice (which saw 9.8M U.S. households tune in over its first 31 days), it was a big quarter for streaming nonetheless. And, while Q4’s leaderboard was all about Netflix, Q1 saw Disney+ bringing in big numbers with three films in the top five. In fact, Free Guy saw 5.2M U.S. households stream the film in its first month – the highest 31-day viewership of any Q1 film we looked at. However, it’s important to keep in mind that the two films with the highest 31-day viewership did see a dual release across two streaming platforms – Free Guy on Disney+ and HBO Max and The King’s Man on Hulu and HBO Max. With two ways to watch, and two subscriber bases to become a potential audience, it’s no surprise to see these two films in the top spots for the quarter. https://www.samba.tv/resources/viewership-insights-from-q1-2022-streaming-tv-and-movies Free Guy #1 Angelina's Eternals #3 & J.Lo's Marry Me #9, the public demand
