  • FX’s “The Shards” Unveils Gripping Trailer Ahead of August 6 Disney+ PH Premiere

    FX’s “The Shards” Unveils Gripping Trailer Ahead of August 6 Disney+ PH Premiere

    Disney+ has released the official trailer for FX’s “The Shards,” offering viewers a striking first look at the seductive new drama from executive producer Ryan Murphy.

    Adapted from the acclaimed bestselling novel by Bret Easton Ellis, the series will debut with its first two episodes on Thursday, August 6, at 9:00 a.m., exclusively on Disney+ Philippines.

    Privilege, Obsession, and Fear Collide

    Set in the sun-soaked yet sinister world of 1980s Los Angeles, “The Shards” follows a group of wealthy high school seniors attending an elite preparatory school.

    On the surface, their lives appear effortless. They move through a world filled with lavish parties, beauty, status, and excess. Beneath the glamour, however, jealousy, desire, and obsession begin to expose the cracks in their seemingly perfect lives.

    As the teenagers struggle with identity, relationships, and the pressures of adolescence, a far more terrifying threat begins to close in.

    A Mysterious Arrival Changes Everything

    At the center of the story is Bret, played by Igby Rigney, an observant teenager with dreams of becoming a writer.

    Bret carefully studies the people and events around him, but his grip on reality begins to weaken after the arrival of Robert Mallory, portrayed by Homer Gere.

    Charismatic, secretive, and impossible to ignore, Robert transfers to the school shortly before senior year. His appearance coincides with the growing panic surrounding The Trawler, a serial killer targeting teenagers throughout Los Angeles.

    With each new incident, Bret becomes increasingly suspicious of Robert. What begins as curiosity soon develops into a consuming fixation, blurring the line between instinct, paranoia, and dangerous obsession.

    A Glamorous Group Pulled into Darkness

    Bret is surrounded by an affluent and tightly connected social circle made up of Susan Reynolds, played by Kaia Gerber; Debbie Schaffer, played by Hayes Warner; and Thom Wright, played by Graham Campbell.

    Together, they move through a polished world of privilege, temptation, and hidden tensions. Their friendships are tested as fear spreads across the city and the darker side of their relationships comes into focus.

    The promise of their youth also stands in sharp contrast to the troubled adults around them.

    Wes Bentley stars as Terry Schaffer, while Evan Rachel Wood plays Liz Schaffer. Jordan Roth joins the cast as Steven Reinhardt.

    As secrets build and suspicions intensify, the characters are drawn further into a world where beauty can conceal danger and desire can have deadly consequences.

    Ryan Murphy and Bret Easton Ellis Join Creative Forces

    “The Shards” unites the distinctive storytelling styles of Ryan Murphy and Bret Easton Ellis, two creators known for exploring provocative characters, complicated relationships, and the darker corners of American culture.

    FX s The Shards

    The series is executive produced by Murphy, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Bret Easton Ellis, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson, Nissa Diederich, Tanase Popa, Nick Hall, Michael Uppendahl, Max Winkler, Kathleen McCaffrey, and Brian Young.

    “The Shards” is produced by 20th Television.

    FX’s “The Shards” premieres with two episodes on Thursday, August 6, at 9:00 a.m., exclusively on Disney+ Philippines.

    With 25 stations along the route, the line serves passengers heading to several major schools and universities. Vito Cruz Station provides access to De La Salle University and De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, while Pedro Gil Station is near the University of the Philippines Manila. United Nations Station is close to Adamson University, and Central Terminal Station is convenient for Mapúa University and Colegio de San Juan de Letran.

  • Director Destin Daniel Cretton and Kevin Feige Spotlight the Power of Community in “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”

    Director Destin Daniel Cretton and Kevin Feige Spotlight the Power of Community in “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”

    In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Peter Parker is living in a world that no longer remembers him.

    After the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter made the ultimate sacrifice to save the world. To protect everyone, he had to erase himself from the memories of the people he loves most, including MJ, played by Zendaya, and his best friend Ned, played by Jacob Batalon. Now, in Brand New Day, Peter is left to face the aftermath alone.

    Watch the trailer here:

    A More Mature Peter Parker Faces a Lonely New Reality

    Peter’s journey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day begins in isolation. For the first time, he has no support system to lean on, no friends who remember him, and no familiar circle to remind him who he is beneath the mask.

    It is this deeply emotional idea of community and belonging that resonated with director Destin Daniel Cretton.

    “It’s the first time that Peter is operating alone,” says the filmmaker. “Peter has always had a wonderful community around him, but now, because of the world-changing events at the end of No Way Home, he must do everything by himself. It’s quite emotional but it’s also a lot of fun. It’s a more mature Peter Parker, but in other ways it’s the same Peter that everybody knows and loves.”

    For Cretton, Peter’s struggle is not only about heroism. It is also about learning that purpose, passion, and responsibility must be balanced with connection.

    He adds that finding the balance between work, no matter how passionate one may be about it, and personal connection “is the most important thing to try to find in life. Who you really are is defined by the people who love you and the people you love.”

    Destin Daniel Cretton Brings Heart to a Bold New Chapter

    Cretton takes the helm from Jon Watts, who directed the previous Spider-Man trilogy and helped lay the foundation for this new era of the beloved Marvel hero. Watts captured Peter Parker’s awkwardness, optimism, and humanity while weaving his story into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.

    With Spider-Man: Brand New Day, however, Peter’s world has changed. So has the creative vision behind the camera.

    Known for grounding spectacle in emotion and character-driven storytelling, Cretton brings a bold and heartfelt approach to the Spider-Man mythos. His vision explores a more grounded and mature hero while keeping the focus on the person behind the mask.

    Producer Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios and one of the principal architects of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, describes Cretton as “an artist who is also a fan.”

    “Destin has created some of the best fight sequences in any Marvel movie. At the same time, he’s incredibly character-oriented and has brought Spider-Man into a new direction.”

    6 2

    Kevin Feige on Responsibility, Isolation, and Self-Care

    For Feige, Cretton’s vision gives Peter Parker’s famous credo a powerful new meaning.

    “Destin conveys the dangers of isolation,” he notes. “Peter Parker, who’s lived by the credo, ‘With great power comes great responsibility,’ initially believes that this responsibility is only to others, when, in fact, there must be an element of it that encompasses being responsible for yourself, so that you can be your best for others.”

    It is a moving evolution for a hero who has always carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Peter must learn that being a hero does not mean carrying everything alone.

    Amy Pascal Praises Cretton’s Blend of Action and Emotion

    Producer Amy Pascal, who has helped shape the evolving Spider-Man saga across multiple films, also praises Cretton’s ability to combine spectacle with sincerity. Having admired his work on Marvel Studios’ Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Short Term 12, Pascal highlights the director’s emotional clarity.

    “Destin can combine action and heart and isn’t afraid of earnest emotion,” she points out. “With Brand New Day, he has made a film about Peter thinking that the past is buried and that he can move on from his previous life. But he cannot, even though he’s living in complete denial when we meet him in this story. Brand New Day is about Peter growing up.”
