There won't be Stranger Things Spinoffs, but it's always fun to imagine who could play the characters all grown up.
The Older Teens/Young Adults:
Jonathan Byers:
There are two options for Jonathan: Norman Reedus, or Benicio del Toro if you want to acknowledge is Maldonado heritage. Either way, he gets to keep his enigmatic eyes.
Nancy Wheeler:
Nancy's super hard to cast, but Courteney Cox at least shares Nancy's piercing blue eyes, and she has experience doing horror.
Steve Harrington:
Jason Bateman has the smile, the face shape and the hair. I won't deny I would like a little bit of comedic irony and make middle-aged Steve bald, tho.
Robin Buckley:
Duh. Uma Thurman would be the logical choice to play her daughter's character on-screen. She's not Maya's doppelganger (that's Mia Kirshner), but she's the appropriate age, and she shares Maya's mannerisms and "vibe".
Argyle:
Imagine trying to cast a hispanic man with a decent amount of native ancestry who's also 6'3'' (1.90 cm) tall (!!!) and the appropriate age. Thankfully there is exactly one, Jaime Camil.

CAMILLE THURMAN with the DARRELL GREEN QUARTET, JAZZ ST LOUIS, 16 FEBRUARY 2024
St Louis got more snow during the day than expected so, though the crowd became acceptable, it was an unusual night at the Bistro with a very limited menu and waitstaff simply bringing food from orders at the bar. The music was warm and inviting, but not as memorable as I might have wished.
CAMILLE THURMAN has a big sound on both tenor and voice (an ample range but powerful as a contralto). Husband DARRELL GREEN runs a smart solid band from the kit. Trumpeter Wallace Rooney Jr. held his own with a strong thoughtful sound though he seemed detached leaving the stage for long stretches. But he complement Thurman on the front line with some parallel playing in lieu of a head or two and behind her vocals. Jordan Williams on piano ruminated alone at length to open the show and ensuring my attention on subsequent solos. The bassist Paul Beaudry did all sorts of interesting things up and down the fingerboard with his Detour Ahead solo the stand out on a favorite tune of night, favorite with the asterisk that Thurman’s phrasing didn’t play to the strengths of her voice. But the bass’ tone was rich and woody all night. Green’s drumming was propulsive and important to the proceedings while keeping attention focused on others. His real showcase was leading into the finale with mallets on cymbals and then all four tom toms of various size and the snare less snare melodically.
I’m not sure what to make of Thurman. She’s definitely a jazzer as her tenor playing is first rate, a rich hefty tone. The material is respectable, not cute as sometimes singer/musicians can be. They did Walk On By on the stream from the night before, but its inventiveness appealed to me whereas the Detour Ahean didn’t. Her singing is skilled, but me and singers….or maybe it’s songs as songs rather than tunes. She sang Easy To Love with both a wordless and unaccompanied exploration to open, like the pianist’s for the opener and Green for the closer, and then scatted. That gave me pause to think how that singing compared to her singing on her horn. Undoubtedly they equally reflect her musical sensibilities and style. Somehow though I like the mediation that instruments provide.
It was a fine show in the moment and I liked her more than other singer/musicians (Grace Kelly and Bria Skonburg) but I was not as blown away as I have been by other shows. I hope the limited dining experience isn’t what tempered my enthusiasm. And, to be fair, I am enthusiastic about the carrot cake.

Terri Lyne Carrington Curates Carr Center & Midtown Detroit Jazz Crawl October 14th-28th
Terri Lyne Carrington is the curator of The Carr Center and Midtown Detroit's Jazz Crawl on October 14-28th. The New Standards Jazz Crawl, Shifting The Narrative: Jazz and Gender Justice kicks off its inaugural series of free concerts at eight of the city's cultural and educational institutions this month. Carrington, who is also a Grammy-winning jazz drummer and composer is among the list of performers that includes vocalists Lisa Fischer, Carmen Lundy, Jazzmeia Horn, Lizz Wright, Daryn Dean, and Charenée Wade, saxophonists Tia Fuller, Nicole Glover, and Camille Thurman, bassists Linda May Han Oh and Marian Hayden, pianists Andy Milne and Paul Cornish, drummers Susie Ibarra and Savannah Harris, flutist Nicole Mitchell, percussionist JoVia Armstrong, guitarist Matthew Stevens, and The Gathering Orchestra Nonet.
The Jazz Crawl is part of The Carr Center's yearlong 30th-anniversary celebration and the opening of the new Carr Center performance studio. Oliver Ragsdale Jr. President and CEO of The Carr Center says, “The opening of the Performance Studio is the pinnacle of our anniversary celebration. As we move closer to the opening, we are honored to work closely with partners Midtown Detroit Inc., and our Artistic Director Terri Lyne Carrington, who is not only expanding her artistry with compelling publications, visual arts, and film, but she continues to provide high-level and innovating programming and is a great collaborator for the Carr Center."
The New Standards Installation opens on October 14th and is a four-part interdisciplinary look at jazz through the lens of gender equality. There are works created by jazz artists Cécile McCLorin Salvant, Carmen Lundy and Jazzmeia Horn and contributions from visual artists Monica Haslip, Joe Diggs, Yesmin Tosuner and Ramsess. Sherry Rubel has a portrait of 30 influential women instrumentalists and Lizz Wright will present a recipe inspired by the New Standards theme.
Carrington's first-ever children's book Three Of A Kind will be introduced. The story revolves around the musical partnership of comprised of Carrington, the late Geri Allen, and Esperanza Spalding (ACS Trio). The book is written by Carrington, illustrated by Ramsess and designed to inspire young women to play instruments. The installation also includes a New Standards film documenting the creators, and the purpose of the book and album.
On Friday, October 14th the Carr Center will present a panel discussion, “Jazz and Gender: Forging a New Legacy” with scholar and cultural icon Angela Davis; and educators and authors Gina Dent and Robin D.G. Kelly, along with Carrington at the Carr Center Performance Studio.
On Saturday, October 15, the Carr Center will present a Professional Development Master Class with Carrington for band directors and band leaders to engage with her and other composers featured in her new book.
Carrington has promoted equality in the arts since founding the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice in 2018. Last month the Berklee Press debuted her book New Standard: 101 Lead Sheets By Women Composers. The book brings light to compositions not usually thought of as jazz standards from composers like Lil' Hardin Armstrong, Mary Lou Williams, Alice Coltrane, Dorothy Ashby, Dianne Reeves, Geri Allen, Cécile McClorin Salvant, Maria Schneider, Cassandra Wilson, Nubya Garcia, Esperanza Spalding, Mary Halvorson, Nicole Mitchell and the recently departed Jamie Branch.
In addition to the book, Carrington's new STANDARDS vol.1 album was just released.
