ANDOR---writer Tony Gilroy explained why Andy Serkis (Kino Loy) did not return in Season 2, "Andy dropped the mic, man.... What am I going to do that’s going to be better than what we did? All it does is minimize that moment. I knew a lot of people were talking about whether we had a way of [bringing him back]. But I didn’t want to have that sort of coincidental environment.”
Gilroy also explained why Belle Swarc (Kerri) did not return, “[Kino Loy] is like the sister — people wanted to know if we’re going to resolve the sister... And the sister, in the beginning, is so much more interesting to me as a deficit. She’s much more valuable to me for Cassian as an absence. As he says in the end, ‘Maybe I should stop saving people.’ His need to return and save people and to be a savior and the compulsion to do that comes from this hole in his life, and I didn’t really didn’t want to fill that in.”
ENEMIES---Austin Butler and Jeremy Allen White will star in the movie about a police detective who pursues a deadly assassin.
PROTECTOR---photo and synopsis released for the movie starring Milla Jovovich and Matthew Modine, “Nikki (Milla Jovovich), a former war hero, thought she’d left her violent past behind for a peaceful life with her daughter, Chloe. That peace is shattered when Nikki awakens bound in an abandoned factory, only to discover that Chloe has been kidnapped. Quickly escaping, Nikki plunges into the city’s criminal underworld and in her quest to find Chloe, she draws the attention of both the police and the military, shooting her to the top of the most wanted list. But the deeper she goes, the more she uncovers a shocking truth that threatens everything she’s fighting for. In this high-stakes race against time, Nikki must find the strength she thought she left behind to restore the hero her daughter desperately needs.”
FLESH OF THE GODS---vampire movie stars Oscar Isaac, Kristen Stewart and Elizabeth Olsen as vampire Nameless. The synopsis says, “Set in the glittering ’80s L.A., the film follows a married couple who descend each evening from their luxury skyscraper condo and head into an electric nighttime realm. When they cross paths with the mysterious and enigmatic Nameless and her hard-partying cabal, Raoul and Alex are seduced into a glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills and violence."
AMERICAN LOVE STORY---the FX anthology series will star Paul Kelly as John F. Kennedy, Jr., Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn Bessett-Kennedy and Naomi Watts as Jackie Kennedy. The synopsis says, “AMERICAN LOVE STORY depicts the whirlwind courtship and marriage of Kennedy and Bessett. What started out as a beautiful union for the young couple, widely regarded as American royalty, began to fray under the stress of the relentless microscope and navel-gaze of tabloid media. The pressures of their careers and rumored family discord ended with their tragic deaths when his private plane crashed into the ocean on a hazy summer night off the coast of Massachusetts.”
TOGETHER---married couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie, their agency, WME, and writer/director Michael Shanks were sued for copyright infringement by producers Jess Jacklin and Charles Beale, who produced the horror movie BETTER HALF. The lawsuit claims Franco and Brie were offered the starring roles in BETTER HALF in which a couple's bodies are fused together. After turning down the roles, Franco and Brie starred in TOGETHER which is claimed to be a "blatant rip-off" of BETTER HALF because they have the same plot, same ending, rats fused together, the couple dance to a Spice Girls LP , they are fused together at their genitals and other similarities.
WME commented on the lawsuit, “This lawsuit is frivolous and without merit. The facts in this case are clear and we plan to vigorously defend ourselves.”
DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN---Kristen Ritter will return as Jessica Jones in Season 2.
TRIVIA---in 1963, Palestinian writer Wael Zwaiter was picked out of a crowd by director Blake Edwards because of Zwaiter's charisma and was given the role of a waiter in Edwards' THE PINK PANTHER which starred David Niven, Peter Sellers and Claudia Cardinale. Zwaiter's companion of eight years, Janet Venn-Brown, said Zwaiter was so charismatic that Edwards offered him a speaking part, but every time Edwards said, "Ready! Shoot!", Zwaiter would freeze and forget his lines, so his waiter role became a non-speaking role.
In the terrorist attack on the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, 11 Israeli Olympic team members were killed by the Black September group. In retaliation, the Israeli Mossad assassinated Black September members. The first to be killed by Mossad was Zwaiter. The PLO denied Zwaiter was a member of Black September, and years later, a senior Mossad leader said Zwaiter's death, "...was a terrible mistake."
