With her film career waning, Joan Crawford pitches an adaptation of the horror novel What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? to director Robert Aldrich and rival actress Bette Davis. Aldrich, in turn, brings Baby Jane to Jack L. Warner, who comes on board despite his hatred for both actresses. But as filming begins, Crawford's acute narcissism and Davis' strong opinions quickly put them at odds.

Contrary to all expectations, Baby Jane is a huge hit. With no other film offers coming in, Joan's jealousy grows as Bette's performance is critically acclaimed.

Following the critical failure of her latest film, Trog, Joan officially retires from acting. In the years following, her health deteriorates rapidly. One night, Joan hallucinates seeing Jack and Hedda in her apartment having a party, where she joins them and is later joined by Bette. In the fantasy, Joan and Bette end their feud and speak civilly toward each other about one another. Joan dies a week later. Meanwhile Bette, who has worked consistently since Sweet Charlotte, learns of Joan's death via a journalist who asks for comment. Bette responds with one final negative comment towards Joan. At that year's Academy Awards, Bette expresses sadness at Joan's brief appearance in the 'In Memoriam' segment. A flashback to the very first day of filming Baby Jane shows Bette and Joan chatting happily before going into their separate trailers.
Production[edit]
Development[edit]
Ryan Murphy, a fan of Davis since his childhood, interviewed the actress just months before her death in 1989. The agreed-upon 20-minute interview lasted four hours, and inspired his characterization of Davis in Feud. He said, "When I would ask her about Joan Crawford ... She would just go on about how much she hated her. But then she would sort of say ... 'She was a professional. And I admired that'."[12] Murphy first conceived Bette and Joan as a film years before the FX series, and approached both Sarandon and Lange about the lead roles.[13] Sarandon said, "It just felt like it didn't have a context, just being bitchy and kind of funny, but what else? In expanding it to eight hours, you could get more complexity and so many other characters."[14] Season 1 of Feud was being written at the same time that Murphy was forming his Half Foundation, which promotes an increased presence of women in film and television production positions.[14] The season features 15 acting roles for women over 40,[14] and half the episodes were directed by women, including Helen Hunt.[13]
Feud, developed by Murphy, was picked up to series by FX on May 5, 2016.[15] Season 1's Bette and Joan is inspired by the real-life feud between Crawford and Davis,[15] and explores issues of sexism, ageism, and misogyny in Hollywood.[14] Its eight episodes were expanded from a feature-length screenplay Murphy had optioned called Best Actress by Jaffe Cohen and Michael Zam.[16]
Sarandon said, "In our story, it was a fact that [the people behind Baby Jane] encouraged the animosity [between Crawford and Davis], first of all to control them, second of all to make what they thought was more onscreen tension, and that really hasn't changed a lot."[14] Melanie McFarland of Salon wrote that the series shows "just how brutal the Hollywood system was on some of the greatest talents in its firmament" and that it "cuts to the root of why collaborating and delighting in the fall of the mighty is eternally marketable."[17] The Crawford-Davis feud was also documented in Shaun Considine's 1989 book Bette and Joan: The Divine Feud.[18]
Casting[edit]
Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon were attached to star as Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. Alfred Molina, Stanley Tucci, Judy Davis, and Dominic Burgess were also a part of the cast, in the roles of Robert Aldrich, Jack L. Warner, Hedda Hopper, and Victor Buono, respectively.[15]
In August 2016, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Sarah Paulson joined the cast playing Olivia de Havilland and Geraldine Page, respectively.[19][20][21][22]
In September 2016, it was reported that American Horror Story executive producer Tim Minear would be co-showrunning the series with Murphy. Jackie Hoffman joined the cast as Mamacita, Crawford's housekeeper.[23] In November 2016, Molly Price, Kathy Bates and Alison Wright joined the cast of the series, in the roles of Harriet Foster, Joan Blondell, and Pauline Jameson.[24][25][26] In January 2017, it was announced Kiernan Shipka was cast in the series as Davis's daughter, Barbara ("B.D.") Sherry.[27]
Sarandon admitted to initially being "overwhelmed and terrified" about the prospect of portraying Davis accurately. She said, "She's so big and she really was so big, so I tried not to make her a caricature or someone a female impersonator would do ... That was my fear, that she would just be kind of one-dimensional."[14] Lange said her performance was informed by her view that Crawford's "brutal childhood" was masked by the "beautiful, impenetrable veneer of this great, gorgeous movie star ... So she was always on, which is a tremendous burden in and of itself, but always there was this thing lurking underneath of being this poverty-stricken, abused, unloved, abandoned young child and woman."[14] Both Sarandon and Lange researched their roles by reading books by and about Davis and Crawford, and watching and listening to TV performances and recordings.[13][27]
Release[edit]
Marketing[edit]
Murphy gave several interviews about Bette and Joan during the 2017 Winter TCA Press Tour.[28] The show's first teaser trailer was released on January 19, 2017, and the second the following day.[29] That same week, Lange and Sarandon appeared on the cover of Entertainment Weekly as Crawford and Davis.[30] FX released another teaser on January 23, two on February 5, one on February 7, and one on February 8.[31][32][33][34][35] A short commercial for the show also aired during Super Bowl LI.[36]
Premiere[edit]
Bette and Joan had its official premiere at the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on March 1, 2017.[37] Before the show's premiere, FX held screenings of the pilot episode at several gay bars across the United States.[38]
Broadcast[edit]
The first season of eight episodes, Bette and Joan, premiered in the United States. on March 5, 2017,[39] and on BBC Two in the United Kingdom. on December 16, 2017.[40]
Controversy[edit]
On June 30, 2017, a day before her 101st birthday, actress Olivia de Havilland filed a lawsuit against the series for inaccurately portraying her and using her likeness without permission in Feud: Bette and Joan.[41] The lawsuit states that the pseudo-documentary-style of the series leads viewers to believe that the statements made by the actress portraying de Havilland in the show are accurate, but that in fact de Havilland had not said such things in real life.[42] The various defendants filed a motion to dismiss under California's "anti-SLAPP" law. The trial court denied the motion but, on March 26, 2018, the California Court of Appeal, Second District, reversed the decision and ordered the lawsuit dismissed. The Court of Appeal further ruled the defendants were entitled to be reimbursed their attorneys' fees.[43]
Reception[edit]
Critical response[edit]
The first season of Feud received highly positive reviews, with major praise for Lange and Sarandon's performances. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has an approval rating of 91% based on 84 reviews, with an average rating of 8.1/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "While campily and sweetly indulgent, Feud: Bette and Joan provides poignant understanding of humanity, sorrow, and pain while breezily feeding inquisitive gossip-starved minds."[44] On Metacritic, the season has a score of 81 out of 100, based on 44 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[45]
Melanie McFarland of Salon called the writing "creatively wicked" and the series "outrageously fantastic", praising Lange and Sarandon for their performances and for "tempering their decadent rages and vengeful spats with a gutting sense of loneliness that tempers its lightness in solemnity."[17] Verne Gay of Newsday wrote that the series is "Full of joy, humor, brilliant writing and performances, and a deep unabiding love for what really makes Hollywood great—the women."[46] People called the series "bitter, biting and entertaining".[47] The Atlantic's Spencer Kornhaber described the first few episodes as "deft and satisfying" but suggested that "maybe six installments, rather than eight, were all this tale needed".[48] Alan Sepinwall of Uproxx wrote that the series is "big and it's catty, but it's also smart and elegant, with the old Hollywood setting toning down some of Murphy's more scattershot creative impulses."[49] Emily Nussbaum, in The New Yorker, praised Murphy's ambition and lauded both stars, saying of the series, "Beneath the zingers and the poolside muumuus, the show's stark theme is how skillfully patriarchy screws with women's heads—mostly by building a home in there."[50]
Not all reviews were positive. Sonia Saraiya of Variety compared Bette and Joan unfavorably to Murphy's The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story, writing that Feud is "neither as brilliantly campy and hateful as What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? nor as contextualizing and profound as People v. O. J. Simpson."[16] David Weigand of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the series a mixed review, criticizing the script and Lange's performance, but praising Sarandon's, writing: "Lange is always interesting, but she’s only occasionally convincing here as Crawford. The voice is too high, for one thing. Sarandon fares better, as much good as that does with such a lousy script."[51] The Guardian also criticized the series for being "lightweight", noting, "At just eight episodes, there’s almost too much to cover and at times, one craves a little more depth to certain moments." They singled out Lange's performance, however, writing, "Lange in particular moves past just an easy impression to something with far more weight. In a reversal of fortune that would make Crawford cackle in her grave, it’s likely that she’ll be the one up for awards at the end of the year rather than her co-star."[52]
Ratings[edit]
The first episode drew 2.26 million live-plus-same-day viewers, which Deadline.com characterized as "solid" and made it the most watched program on FX that week. In comparison, the premiere of The People v. O. J. Simpson attracted 5.1 million viewers in 2016, and the FX limited series Fargo got 2.66 million in 2014.[4][53] The premiere earned 3.8 million viewers in the Nielsen live-plus-three-days ratings, and 5.17 million viewers total when including two encore broadcasts, making it the highest rated new series debut on FX since The People v. O. J. Simpson.[54][55]

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (or simply Captain Underpants) is a 2017 American computer-animated superhero comedy film based on the children's novel series of the same name by Dav Pilkey. It was produced by DreamWorks Animation and Scholastic Entertainment, with animation production provided by Mikros Image Montreal. It was directed by David Soren from a screenplay by Nicholas Stoller, and stars the voices of Kevin Hart, Ed Helms, Thomas Middleditch, Nick Kroll, Jordan Peele, and Kristen Schaal. The plot follows two imaginative elementary school pranksters named George Beard and Harold Hutchins (Hart and Middleditch) who hypnotize their mean-spirited principal, Mr. Krupp (Helms), into thinking he is Captain Underpants, a superhero who fights crime while wearing only underwear and a cape who George and Harold write comic books about.
The film premiered on May 21, 2017 at the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles, and was released in the United States on June 2, 2017 in 3D and 2D. The film became a critical and commercial success, while grossing $104 million worldwide against a budget of $38 million, making it the lowest-budgeted computer-animated feature of DreamWorks Animation's history.[4] This is the last DreamWorks Animation film distributed by 20th Century Fox, before Universal Pictures will take over distribution in 2019 with How to Train Your Dragon 3.

Plot[edit]
In Piqua, Ohio, George Beard (Kevin Hart) and Harold Hutchins (Thomas Middleditch) are two fourth-grade friends and next-door neighbors who often express their sense of humor at their school, bringing joy and laughter to Jerome Horwitz Elementary School. The duo frequently prank the cruel teachers at the school, especially the ill-mannered misanthropic principal, Benjamin "Benny" Krupp (Ed Helms), which puts them at odds with him. The duo also create comic books about Captain Underpants, a superhero who fights crime while wearing only underwear and a cape. They sell these to their schoolmates through a comic company called Treehouse Comix Inc, housed in their treehouse. George and Harold's pranks come to an apparent end after they tamper with a toilet invention called the Turbo Toilet 2000 made by the school's local snitch, intellectual Melvin Sneedly (Jordan Peele). Melvin snitches on George and Harold, and as evidence, shows Krupp footage recorded by the Tattle Turtle 200, a stuffed turtle with a nanny cam hidden inside of its head. This causes Krupp to decide to put the boys in separate classes and annihilate their friendship.
To prevent this, George hypnotizes Krupp with a 3D Hypno Ring he received out of a cereal box. They command him to act like a chicken and a monkey. Seeing that that Krupp bears a resemblance to Captain Underpants without his toupee, they command him to be Captain Underpants. The boys soon learn the severity of their acts when Captain Underpants begins causing trouble around Piqua and take him to their treehouse. There they discover that they can turn Captain Underpants back into Krupp by splashing water on him and can turn him back by snapping their fingers. Believing that Krupp will continue with his plan to separate them, they decide to settle with Captain Underpants but insist that he be dressed up as Krupp under the pretense of a secret identity to which Captain Underpants agrees. His sudden personality change even manages to attract the attention and affection of the school's shy and clumsy lunch lady, Edith (Kristen Schaal).
Just when George and Harold believe that their troubles have ended, Jerome Horwitz Elementary School is visited by an odd, German-accented scientist named Professor P. (Nick Kroll). Captain Underpants (disguised as Krupp) immediately hires him to be a new teacher, but George and Harold are suspicious of him. As it turns out, the full name of Professor Pee-Pee Diarrheastein Poopypants, Esq., and he is seeking to get rid of laughter altogether, due to the fact that people have made fun of his name for years. He recruits Melvin to help him and soon finds out his brain is incapable of having fun.
George and Harold attempt to make the school fun by having Captain Underpants orchestrate a concert with whoopee cushions and reopen an art program shut down by Krupp long ago. Soon, the boys discover that Underpants ordered a carnival and put the teachers in detention. The boys try to keep Captain Underpants from getting splashed by water, but it starts to rain and Captain Underpants turns back into Krupp. He sees the chaos that occurred from the carnival, and finally separates the boys.
Soon, Professor Poopypants tries to take over the town with a giant version of the Turbo Toilet 2000, fueled by the school cafeteria's rotten leftovers left out by Edith, and uses Melvin's brain to turn the children into glum, humorless zombies. Captain Underpants tries to stop the villain, but due to having no actual superpowers, is effortlessly defeated and thrown into the toilet. George and Harold are captured and turned into zombies, but begin laughing upon Professor Poopypants mentioning Uranus and gas giants as planets he would remove laughter from later. Due to this, they are able to break the trance and escape when their excessive laughter damages the Turbo Toilet 2000's computer. Upon consuming the mutated leftovers, Captain Underpants acquires superpowers. He manages to confiscate a shrinking and enlarging ray used by Professor Poopypants, and shrinks him, though he escapes shortly thereafter on a bee.
Knowing that they cannot control Captain Underpants, George and Harold destroy the Hypno Ring in an attempt to permanently change him back into Krupp and agree to maintain their friendship. Feeling that Krupp would be nicer if he had friends, the boys set him and lovesick Edith up on a date, thus making Krupp have a change of heart; he returns the comics he took away from George and Harold, and even admits their comics are funny. However, the toxic waste from the Turbo Toilet 2000 transforms all the toilets into vicious monsters that attack the restaurant at which Mr. Krupp and Edith are dining. Upon snapping his fingers, Mr. Krupp once again becomes Captain Underpants and flies away, carrying George and Harold away to help him fight them.
In a mid-credits scene, George and Harold realize that the secretary, Miss Anthrope (Grey Griffin), who they put on the phone earlier by faking a $1 billion contest has been on hold for the whole movie. After Miss Anthrope accidentally hangs up and gets mad, George and Harold make a new comic based on her reaction titled "Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Stuck On Hold Woman".

Production[edit]
DreamWorks' interest in the film rights to the Captain Underpants series dates back to when the first installment was published in 1997, but creator Dav Pilkey did not want to sell them. Early pitches for an adaptation included video games, animated and live-action films, an animated series, and a live-action series. To persuade him, DreamWorks gave Pilkey a tour around the studio with everyone wearing underpants over their actual pants, which made him laugh.[7] In October 2011, his representatives indicated Pilkey was ready, and DreamWorks Animation won the rights in an auction.[8] In October 2013, Rob Letterman was announced as director and Nicholas Stoller as scriptwriter.[9] The two had previously worked together on the film Gulliver's Travels. In January 2014, the cast was announced. Ed Helms joined as Mr. Krupp a.k.a. Captain Underpants, Kevin Hart as George Beard, Thomas Middleditch as Harold Hutchins, Nick Kroll as the "insidious villain" Professor Poopypants, and Jordan Peele as George and Harold's "nerdy nemesis" Melvin Sneedly.[5]
In 2014, DreamWorks Animation announced a January 2017 release date.[10] Following DreamWorks Animation's reorganization in early 2015, the studio announced that the film would be produced outside of the studio's pipeline at a significantly lower cost.[11] It was instead animated at Mikros Image in Montreal, Canada, and therefore looks identical to Pilkey's artwork, as well as differently than most of DWA's films.[12] A month later, Letterman left the project but came back as an executive producer, and David Soren, the director of Turbo, entered talks to direct the film.[13] During production, Pilkey got to work closely with Soren. He was relieved that Soren was directing since he was a fan of Turbo. In an interview with Los Angeles Times, Pilkey said: "Once I met David, it was like a huge load fell off my back; I was like, 'I don't even have to think about this anymore. Just send me a couple of tickets to the premiere.'"[7] Commenting back, Soren said, "In a way, the controversy over the books ended up being liberating for the film. Normally on an animated movie you're trying to appeal to every possible demographic, and often that results in your content being watered down a little bit. Obviously we hope we get as wide of an audience as possible. But it's likely that if people have issues with the books they may have issues with the movie too, and we didn't feel like we needed to waste a lot of time trying to rope them in. It allowed us to make the purest version of the movie."[7] Although it is a CG-animated feature, the film includes scenes that are traditionally animated, flash animated, a short cutout animation segment, and a sock puppet sequence created by Screen Novelties.
Music[edit]
Soundtrack[edit]
"Weird Al" Yankovic wrote and performed the theme song for the film, which was featured in a lyric video. It currently stands at over 5 million views (as of June 6).[14] Andy Grammer wrote another original song for the film, titled "A Friend Like You".[15] The film also features music from Adam Lambert, Cold War Kids member Nathan Willett, and Lil Yachty.[15] An 11-track soundtrack album was released digitally on June 2, 2017, by Virgin Records.[16]

Release[edit]
Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie was previously scheduled to be released on March 10, 2017,[13] but in September 2015, The Boss Baby took over its date.[17] The film was then moved to June 2, 2017, and was released by 20th Century Fox.[18][19] Other territories such as Europe and Asia will receive the film between July and October 2017. It premiered on May 21, 2017, at the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles.[20]
Box office[edit]
As of September 10, 2017[update], Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie has grossed $73.7 million in the United States and Canada and $30.6 million in other territories, for a worldwide gross of $104.3 million.[3]
In North America, the film was released alongside Wonder Woman, and was projected to gross around $20 million from 3,434 theaters in its opening weekend.[21] It made $8 million on its first day and $23.9 million in its opening weekend, finishing second at the box office, behind Wonder Woman ($103.3 million).[22][23] The film would go on to gross $12.2 million in its second weekend, $7.2 million in its third and $4.3 million in its fourth.[24]
Critical response[edit]
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 87% based on 105 reviews, with an average rating of 7/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "With a tidy plot, clean animation, and humor that fits its source material snugly, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie is entertainment that won't drive a wedge between family members."[25] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 69 out of 100, based on 25 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[26] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale.[22]
Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com gave the film three-and-a-half out of four stars. Although Seitz pointed out that the film is hampered by "a rushed, jumbled quality" and has "tiresome" features that he says are common to DreamWorks, such as "frenetic action scenes... and the use of workhorse pop songs", he emphasized that "[t]hey've approached this compendium of elemental slapstick and unabashed childishness with the reverence that the Coen brothers brought to No Country for Old Men." He further added that the inclusion of the flip book interludes are the film's best parts, especially in having the pages accidentally be torn similar to the real books, stating that "[i]t's not often that a movie puts a spotlight on a mundane ritual in your own life that you never realized was profound and says, 'You probably forgot about this, but I want you to remember it and savor it, because it meant something.'"[27]
Home media[edit]
Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie was released on Digital HD on August 29, 2017, and on DVD, Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray on September 12, 2017, by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.[28]
