We have you 5 film and series roles in the stream picked out in which you should not miss the shooting star.
Jenna Ortega in the stream: Experience the Wednesday star as a scream queen
Scream – Trailer (German) HD
The latest scores as a mix of reboot and sequel scream with a lot of bloody heaviness and clever tips against toxic fan bases. The film breaks viewing habits right from the start when Jenna Ortega is introduced as Tara and apparently falls victim to Ghostface straight away.
Ortega’s quick-witted nature saves her from an early death and brings the actress back into play in the finale at the latest. Here, the Wednesday star transforms from a deceived victim into a furious final girl who has made Ortega the new horror darling. In Scream it was already clear where their path was to lead. (PR)
Stream the full emotional impact of Jenna Ortega in The Life After
The Fallout – Trailer (English) HD
Jenna Ortega delivers a haunting performance as a traumatized high school student in The Life After. Unlike Wednesday, though, here it’s a real horror she must overcome: from the first chilling scene as her character hides in the toilet during a school shooting, to the tender moments that follow as she explores “life thereafter”. In the strong drama, Jenna Ortega shows what she is capable of as an actor, apart from horror and fantasy. (IT)
Before Wednesday, Jenna Ortega was part of the Netflix series You
You – S02 Trailer (German Subtitles) HD
What do you think of the 2nd season of You? The beginning of Joe (Penn Badgley) and Love’s (Victoria Pedretti) ominous love affair? fair enough However, the Los Angeles stint of Netflix’s most admired serial killer had another highlight: Ellie Alves, played by Jenna Ortega. The teenage girl and her sister are neighbors to Joe, who poses as “Will” in Season 2.
A kind of friendship gradually develops between the murderous stalker and Ellie. Also because both feel alone and think they are much smarter than those around them. As a know-it-all teenager, Jenna Ortega is not just reminiscent of a less privileged version of Wednesday. She also gets one of the most interesting subplots in You and delivers one of the most emotional and acting intense moments of season 2. If you especially liked Wednesday’s macabre humor, you’ll love the bloody Netflix series. (LL)

In Ti West’s slasher horror

Jenna Ortega appears unusually shy and inconspicuous – at least at first. She plays Lorraine, who is in charge of the sound for a porn movie that is to be filmed in a country house in 1979…which has a bloody ending.
Jenna Ortega’s Lorraine is cast as the prudish wallflower within the lascivious porn crew. She breaks out of it in a decisive turn: she wants to play in the porn. (HB)
