Is there a Blue Mountain State movie?

Amazon Studios, Skydance TV and Paramount TV Studios have found their Jack Reacher. Alan Ritchson (Titans) has been tapped for the title role in Jack Reacher, the streamer’s drama series based on the character from Lee Child’s international bestselling series of books.

The first season of the series, written, exec produced and showrun by Nick Santora, is based on the first Jack Reacher novel, The Killing Floor, which is set in Georgia.

As conceived by Child, the imposing, 6’5″-tall, 210– to 250-pound character of Jack Reacher is a U.S. Army veteran investigating suspicious activities that frequently put him in danger. The role was played by Tom Cruise in the 2012 Jack Reacher feature and the 2016 sequel Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.

Child’s Jack Reacher is a billion-dollar brand published in 49 languages and 101 territories, with more than 100 million books sold.

Exclusive: Quibi has given a series order to Florida Man (working title), a comedy series from Blue Mountain State writers Romanski (aka Chris Romano) and Drew Hancock, and Ace Entertainment.

Written by Hancock and Romano, this outrageous anthology comedy series rips real headlines from insane stories, and tells us the made up tale of how they came to be. Whether it is Florida Man Charged with Assault with a Deadly Weapon for Throwing Alligator through Wendy’s Drive-Thru Window or Florida Man with “Do Not Resuscitate” Tattoo Creates Ethical Dilemma for Hospital Staff, these stories can only happen in Florida.

Ace Entertainment’s Matt Kaplan and Spencer Berman executive produce with Jake Szymanski, Dylan Trussell and David Dinetz. Hancock, Romano and Paul Kim co-executive produce. Ace Entertainment is the studio.

Commercial directors Dinetz and Trussell initially conceived the idea for Florida Man.

The sole survivor of a plane crash in an icy wasteland lives by his wits as he waits for help to arrive. But when a long-awaitedrescue effort fails, he faces a life-or-death decision: remain in the relative safety of his camp and hope to be found,or embark on an arduous trek that may be the only hope for both him and a critically injured stranger.

An official selection of the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, Arctic marks the feature debut of writer and director Joe Penna, creator of the innovative and popular YouTube channel MysteryGuitarMan. Mads Mikkelsen delivers an engrossing tour de force performance as Overgård, a resourceful yet increasingly desperate man stranded in a remote, snow-covered wilderness.

Filmed in Iceland under grueling conditions, Arctic is a captivating,white knuckle cinematic experience that explores our insurmountable will to survive and overcome. The film is directed by Joe Penna from a script he co-wrote with Ryan Morrison.

NBC has set the main cast for its upcoming comedy pilot “Bright Futures,” Variety has learned.

Emily Ratajkowski, Lilly Singh, Shameik Moore, Jimmy Tatro, and Calum Worthy will all star in the single-camera project, which follows a group of friends all stumbling through the transition from the clueless, immature twentysomethings they are now to the successful professionals they’re destined to be. In addition, Lisa Kudrow will serve as the show’s narrator.

Ratajkowski will play Sarah, described as a girl-next-door type but also with a behind-the-ear tattoo. She can just as easily bro out with the guys as she can be the girliest girl. Ratajkowski is a model and actress known for her roles in films like “Gone Girl” and “We Are Your Friends.” She is repped by UTA and Untitled Entertainment.

Singh will play Sid. One of the roommates, she’s a recent med school graduate and who

Once upon a time, Spike introduced a show called Blue Mountain State that would later become one of my most re-watched addictions. No matter how many times Thad Castle ran the cookie race or hit Golden Arm with his truck, the Bms Goats hilariously reveled in their asinine, drug-fueled absurdity.

Sure, it’s fratty, brobeans comedy on steroids, but creators Eric Falconer and Chris “Romanski” Romano cover all their bases (or manage all their assignments?) rather well for a show built on relentless immaturity. That was until Spike unceremoniously axed the show after Season 3, and Bms fans were left without Alex Moran’s senior year.

It was then that Falconer, Romanski, and the faithful Goats started a Kickstarter fund to save Blue Mountain State, and they were met with an offering of $1.9 million from their devoted fanbase. This outpouring of generosity is why we now have the newly-released movie, Blue Mountain State: The Rise Of Thadland

Blue Mountain State: The Rise Of Thadland is a drug-fueled dystopian comedy that would make Rob Gronkowski blush – we’re coming out of the gate guns-blazing on this one! Everything that television audiences love about the hard-partying Mountain Goats makes a return in Lev L. Spiro’s spinoff film, as creators Eric Falconer and Romanski leave a trail of cocaine dust while they unleash epic, Thad-Castle-approved anarchy.

It’s perversely familiar and relentlessly immature (in a good way), which is everything Bms fans have come to expect. We’re gifted an epic, multi-day party that reunites all our favorite characters, but with the calculated exclusion of on-field football antics, something feels slightly amiss. Not enough to detract immensely, just a little more welcomed playmaking to balance…ah, who am I kidding. You’re watching for the sloots and booze, and that’s exactly what you’ll get!

As Alex Moran

More sloots. More party favors. More Thad. The Blue Mountain State TV series ran three seasons, before being cancelled by Spike, in 2011. Now, Lionsgate is releasing a revival film, February 2, 2016. Like Veronica Mars, the Blue Mountain State revival was crowd-sourced on Kickstarter. This release is direct-to-digital and On-Demand.

Blue Mountain State: The Rise of Thadland, revisits Blue Mountain State University and its Mountain Goats football team, with football, sex, and plenty of booze. Television series creators Eric Falconer and Romanski (Chris Romano) reunite the original cast. Stars include: Alan Ritchson, Romanski, Darin Brooks, James Cade, and Frankie Shaw, with Ed Marinaro. Watch the trailers, below.
