Detectives with Pimples: How Teen Noir Is Crossing the Frontiers of the Traditional Noir Films1
Detectives with pimples: How teen noir is crossing the frontiers of the traditional noir films1 João de Mancelos (Universidade da Beira Interior) Palavras-chave: Teen noir, Veronica Mars, cinema noir, reinvenção, feminismo Keywords: Teen noir, Veronica Mars, noir cinema, reinvention, feminism 1. “If you’re like me, you just keep chasing the storm” In the last ten years, films and TV series such as Heathers (1999), Donnie Darko (2001), Brick (2005) or Veronica Mars (2004-2007) have become increasingly popular and captivated cult audiences, both in the United States and in Europe, while arousing the curiosity of critics. These productions present characters, plots, motives and a visual aesthetic that resemble the noir films created between 1941, when The Maltese Falcon premiered, and 1958, when Touch of Evil was released. The new films and series retain, for instances, characters like the femme fatale, who drags men to a dreadful destiny; the good-bad girl, who does not hesitate in resorting to dubious methods in order to achieve morally correct objectives; and the lonely detective, now a troubled adolescent — as if Sam Spade had gone back to High School. In the first decade of our century, critics coined the expression teen noir to define this new genre or, in my opinion, subgenre, since it retains numerous traits of the classic film noir, especially in its contents, thus not creating a significant rupture. In this article, I intend to a) examine the common elements between teen noir series and classic noir films; b) analyze how this new production reinvents or subverts the characteristics of the old genre, generating a sense of novelty; c) detect some of the numerous intertextual references present in Veronica Mars, which may lead young viewers to investigate other series, movies or books.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE STAGES in Partnership with ONE YEAR
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE STAGES in partnership with ONE YEAR LEASE THEATER COMPANY Present Pieces of the Moon by Nick Flint A new stage play adapted to a radio play for live streaming First airing at Stages in Houston, TX on July 20, 2020 Originally Commissioned and Developed by One Year Lease Theater Company Directed by Ianthe Demos Sound Design by Brendan Aanes America in 1969 – a country fiercely divided, or a country unified in hope – which lens is yours? Prepare to blast off on an exploration of two Americas told through the perspective of Gil Scott-Heron legendary poet, musician, and "godfather of rap.” Pieces of the Moon is a theatrical jazz riff blending clashing economic and social priorities. It explores the rise of the Black Arts Movement alongside the Apollo 11 mission which landed the first person on the moon. Led by members of the original cast including Adesola Osakalumi from Fela! as Gil Scott-Heron. Created to tour to regional theaters across the US that are seeking relevant, remote theatrical content that speaks to contemporary issues, the radio play version of Pieces of the Moon will be accompanied by a comprehensive educational packet. The intent is that the competing themes of racism, socio-economic priorities, the Black Arts Movement and scientific achievement can be deeply explored and discussed in relationship to the current social events occurring across America in 2020. Pieces of the Moon’s world premiere was set for August 2020 at Stages in Houston, TX before the pandemic. When OYL and Stages had to indefinitely postpone the stage version, the two companies started looking into the possibility of creating a radio play version.

DARK CITY HIGH the High School Noir of Brick and Veronica Mars Jason A
DARK CITY HIGH THE HIGH SCHOOL NOIR OF BRICK AND VERONICA MARS Jason A. Ney ackstabbing, adultery, blackmail, robbery, corruption, and murder—you’ll find them all here, in a place where no vice is in short supply. You want drugs? Done. Dames? They’re a dime a dozen. But stay on your toes because they’ll take you for all you’re worth. Everyone is work- ing an angle, looking out for number one. Your friend could become your enemy, and if the circumstances are right, your enemy could just as easily become your friend. Alliances are as unpredictable and shifty as a career criminal’s moral compass. Is all this the world of 1940’s and 50’s film noir? Absolutely. But, tures like the Glenn Ford vehicle The Blackboard Jungle (1955) and Bas two recent works—the television show Veronica Mars (2004- melodramas like James Dean’s first feature,Rebel Without a Cause 2007) and the filmBrick (2005)—convincingly argue, it is also the (1955). But a noir film from the years of the typically accepted noir world of the contemporary American high school. cycle (1940-1958) populated primarily by teenagers and set inside a That film noir didn’t extend its seductive, deadly reach into the high school simply does not exist. Perhaps noir didn’t make it all the high schools of the forties and fifties is somewhat surprising, given way into the halls of adolescent learning because adults still wanted how much filmmakers danced around the edges of what we now to believe that the teens of their time retained an element of their call noir when crafting darker stories about teens gone bad.

Investigating Veronica Mars the Noir and Teen Clash in Neptune, California
Investigating Veronica Mars The Noir and Teen Clash in Neptune, California by Kim Johansen Østby Master’s Thesis in Media Studies Department of Media and Communication University of Oslo Spring 2010 “[…] why is Veronica Mars so good? It bears little resemblance to life as I know it, but I can't take my eyes off the damn thing.” (Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly, 01/02-2007) I Abstract What happens when you combine the long tradition of film noir and the contemporary television teen drama? Through genre analysis, this thesis explores how the television show Veronica Mars (2004-2007) mixes noir and teen drama and how this creates a dark vision of society and teen life. Through four chapters I investigate key points of the show, such as the narration and aesthetics, the representation of the noir universe through the show’s depiction of social class inequalities and an incapacitated criminal justice system, the show’s exploration of teen drama themes and how this is affected by noir and finally, an analysis of the main characters and how they relate to this hybrid universe. Noir and teen elements pulsate throughout the entire show. Together they create a tense, paranoid and mysterious atmosphere and allow the show to repeatedly explore dark themes and plots that do not commonly appear in teen dramas. The teen private investigator protagonist Veronica must tackle mysteries ranging everywhere from disappearances, blackmail, scams and theft, to situations where she must deceive the FBI, confront and battle a serial rapist and solve the mass murder of her fellow classmates, all while making her way through high school and college.

Pilot Production Report
2016 PILOT PRODUCTION REPORT 6255 W. Sunset Blvd. CREDITS: 12th Floor Research Analysts: Hollywood, CA 90028 Adrian McDonald Corina Sandru Graphic Design: http://www.filmla.com/ Shane Hirschman @FilmLA Photography: FilmLA Shutterstock FilmLAinc TABLE OF CONTENTS WHAT’S A PILOT? 3 GROWTH OF DIGITAL PILOTS 4 DRAMA PILOTS 5 COMEDY PILOTS 6 TOP PILOT PRODUCTION LOCATIONS 7 THE MAINSTREAMING OF “STRAIGHT-TO-SERIES” PRODUCTION 8 PILOTS’ ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE 10 THE CURRENT DRAMA LANDSCAPE IN CALIFORNIA 11 CONCLUSION 13 Each year between January and April, Los Angeles residents observe a marked increase in local on-location filming. New television pilots, produced in anticipation of May screenings for television advertisers, join continuing TV series, feature films and commercial projects in competition for talent, crews, stage space and sought-after locations. However, Los Angeles isn’t the only place in North America hosting pilot production. Other jurisdictions, most notably New York and the Canadian city of Vancouver have established themselves as strong competitors for this lucrative part of Hollywood’s business tradition. Below these top competitors is a second-tier of somewhat smaller players in Georgia and Ontario, Canada—home to Toronto. FilmL.A.’s official count shows that 201 broadcast, cable and digital pilots (123 Dramas, 78 Comedies) were produced during the 2015-16 development cycle, one less than the prior year and the third straight year in which more than 200 pilots were produced. Out of those 201 pilots, 79 projects (25 Dramas, 54 Comedies) were filmed in the Los Angeles region. This represents a 13 percent drop from last year, when 91 pilot projects filmed here and it is also the lowest number of pilots in the last six years that were produced in the region.
