ScreenCrush wraps up the latest in movies and TV you might have missed. Today, 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatball' comes to the small screen, read a passionate take on the new 'Twin Peaks,' and take a first look at Will Smith in 'Focus.'

FEATURED: 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' is getting its own TV series prequel.

'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs: The Series' takes place before giant food came raining down on Swallow Falls. Flint Lockwood is a high school tween with big dreams. Swallow Falls is a blue-collar town where sardines are driving a booming economy. But Flint suffers from NFD: Non Fish-related Dreams. He wants to be a serious scientist and maybe one day not have his inventions blow up in his face. Along for the ride is Sam Sparks, who's the new girl in town and the school's newest wannabe ace reporter. These two outsiders come together for laughs and comedic adventures with all the great characters from the film: Flint's Dad Tim, Steve the Monkey, Manny the head of the school's audiovisual, school gym teacher Earl before he becomes a cop, Brent who still models baby wear, and Mayor Shelbourne, who wins every election on the pro-sardine platform.
