Welcome back to a newsy edition of What I’m Hearing, where I’m gearing up for a big month of travel and events.

No, I’m not going to Cannes. (If he’s still there, please send my regards to Jacques, the concierge at the Majestic, who once tied my bow tie in record time). But I’ll be at the equally glamorous Milken Institute Conference on Tuesday in Beverly Hills for a panel on creativity with Justin Baldoni, Brian Grazer, Lisa Joy, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Ynon Kreiz, and Janine Sherman Barrois. (Interested? Click here.) Then I’m in NYC for the TV upfronts and an event with Charlie Collier at Roku. (Click here.) Then I’ll be at the BofA Securities media event in Montauk from June 3-5, moderating a “Future of Streaming” panel with Jim Burtson, Matt Strauss, Paul Cheesbrough, and JB Perrette. Then I’ll be resting with my feet up.

The Fall Guy, loosely based on a 1980s TV show nobody remembers, banks on the appeal of Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt and represents the kind of A-level action movie that fantasy franchises seemingly put out to pasture. Ditto Paramount’s Ryan Reynolds-led If—an original, family-friendly fantasy about imaginary friends living among us.
