As a result, there’s been a lot of confusion and frustration." A new spinoff replacement series starring Matthew McConaughey is being developed.
Also, Costner's wife Christine, has filed for divorce after 18 years of marriage. A Costner spokesperson said, "It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action. We ask that his, Christine’s and their children’s privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time." A source said Costner was, "stunned" by the divorce and there was, “there was no issue of cheating at all.”
BABYLON 5---J. Michael Straczynski announced an animated movie based on his tv series is underway, "BABYLON 5 ANIMATED MOVIE coming from Warner Bros. Animation & WB Home Entertainment! Classic B5: raucous, heartfelt, nonstop, a ton of fun through time and space & a love letter to the fans. Movie title, release date and other details coming one week from today."
BASED ON A TRUE STORY---photo released from the Peacock eight-part dark comedy miniseries starring Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina as a married couple who try to track down a serial killer.
STAR WARS---Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy said STAR WARS movies will be released using a schedule used by the James Bond movies, “I’ve often brought up [James] Bond. That’s every three or four years, and there wasn’t this pressure to feel like you had to have a movie every year.
I feel that was very important to STAR WARS. We have to eventise this. It’s much better to tell the truth that we’re going to make these movies when they’re ready to be made, and release them when they’re ready to be released.”
Kennedy also commented on the three upcoming movies, “What we’re exploring is the evolution of the Jedi. We’re going very far back, we’re looking at the present, and now we’re moving 15 years after THE RISE OF SKYWALKER."

G.I. JOE---producer Lorenzo di Bonaventure said talks are underway to reboot the disappointing movie franchise, “We actually developed a pilot with Amazon. This was before Paramount+, just as Paramount+ was coming in. It didn’t pan out. We are in a lot of conversations about what to do with it as a film, and so I would have to say, most likely, you’re going to see that come to fruition. How soon is always impossible to say. For a long time, there were no active conversations. There’s a lot going on right now.”
TRIVIA---Lauren Bacall starred in two movies featuring a murderer on a train. In FLAME OVER INDIA, Bacall played Catherine Wyatt, who escorts a young Indian boy on a train. One of the train's passengers seeks to murder the boy to prevent him from replacing his murdered father as the new maharajah of regional Hindus.

ACADEMY AWARDS---Richard Dreyfuss criticized the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' new inclusion standards in which a movie must meet two out of four criteria to qualify for the Best Picture Oscar, "They make me vomit. No one should be telling me as an artist that I have to give in to the latest, most current idea of what morality is. What are we risking? Are we really risking hurting people’s feelings? You can’t legislate that. You have to let life be life, and I’m sorry, I don’t think there is a minority or majority in the country that has to be catered to like that.”
Beginning in 2024, in order to be eligible to be nominated for a 2025 Best Picture Oscar, a movie must meet two out of four standards. The four standards are On-screen Representation, Creative Leadership and Project Team, Industry Access and Opportunities and Audience Advancement. For example, On-screen Representation means a movie must include at least one lead character from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group, having at least 30% of secondary roles from two underrepresented groups (women, ethnic minorities, LGBTQT+ or people with disabilities) or the main storyline must focus on an underrepresented group.

A source claimed she issued an ultimatum to him in November, 2022 before Season 5 filming began, "It's really knocked a hole in their family life. She wants a firm commitment this is his last season — or he might have to hit the dusty trail!"
THE GUNS OF CHRISTMAS PAST---Liev Schreiber is in negotiations to star in this movie about a mob assassin who seeks revenge on those who killed his partner.

Good on actor Richard Dreyfuss for speaking out, whatever happened to a movie just being great to watch and entertaining?
Quite frankly I'm sick of the 'alphabet people' and all the race/culture based rules now being enforced on society for the sake of being represented or not offending the so called minority......its PC BS gone mad....
Its just Virtue Signaling for the sake of it.

GEORGE RR MARTIN---George RR Martin gave an update on tv series based on his books, "Peacock has passed on WILD CARDS, alas. A pity.

In SPACE COWBOYS, Hamm played "Young Pilot #2", and his only line of dialogue was, "Yeah, too many lawsuits."
Hamm went to Hollywood to become an actor but had little success which led to him waiting tables and briefly being a set designer on a porn movie. Hamm said, "You either suck that up and find another agent, or you go home and say you gave it a shot, but that's the end of that. The last thing I wanted to be out here was one of those actors who's 45 years old, with a tenuous grasp of their own reality, and not really working much. So I gave myself five years. I said, if I can't get it going by the time I'm 30, I'm in the wrong place. And as soon as I said that, it's like I started working right away."

But trying to stay within canon is an awfully fun exercise and leads to solutions that you might not come up with if you didn’t have those boundaries.

CHIEF ACTION OFFICER---tongue-in-cheek film clip introduces Arnold Schwarzenegger as Netflix's new Chief Action Officer.

FANTASTIC FOUR---entertainment writer Jeff Sneider posted a rumor which claims Emma Stone wanted $20 million to play Sue Storm in the reboot movie, but Marvel Studios was not willing to meet her demand, “I’m told that they went to Emma Stone, and for 72 hours, Emma Stone was looking like Sue Storm. We’ll see if Sue Storm ends up being a true movie star role, or someone who they go to for a rising star role which is probably where it’s head.” Marvel wanted to pay Stone less than what she wanted so there would be "enough for the rest of the team."
INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY---the sequel has received an initial Rotten Tomatoes critics score of 52% which is the lowest of the franchise. By comparison, THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL has a 77% score. However, DIAL OF DESTINY's score is based on only 29 critics so far.
MY MASTERPIECE---Maria Bakalova will star in this assassin movie whose synopsis says, “It follows a hitwoman hellbent on dismantling an unfair system within her industry, but she gets stuck on the second floor of an office building after she takes vengeance on a corporate overlord. That means she has to fight her way through fellow murderers and her past to ensure justice prevails. If all goes well, this might just be her masterpiece.”
ECHO--- a source claims Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige is unhappy with the upcoming Disney+ tv series, “I heard the show was kind of plagued by issues throughout production. I heard that it was a mess, and that the show came in so bad that they basically had to reshoot the entire thing. I’m told that they originally shot eight episodes, and [Feige] thought it was unreleasable, so they talked about cutting it down to four episodes, or six in post. But then they ended up reshooting it, so my source did not actually know how many episodes they wound up with. But yeah, apparently it needed a top-down rejiggering, and that Kevin was not happy with it.”
ALIEN VS. PREDATOR---former 20th Century Fox licensing director Joshua Izzo said he produced an animated AVP tv series, “There is, sitting at Disney now, at 20th Studios, 10 episodes of a fully completed ALIEN VS. PREDATOR anime series that I produced. It’s done. It’s in the can. It’s mixed; it’s finished. It was produced and story cracked by Eric Calderon and Dave Baker, two unbelievably crazy talented guys.” The series was put in limbo due to the 20th Century Fox merger with Walt Disney.
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO---crime author James Patterson and investigative writer Vicky Ward are developing a book and docuseries based on the murder of four University of Idaho students in 2022.
MORTAL KOMBAT 2---Tati Gabrielle (UNCHARTED) is in negotiations to play assassin Jade in the sequel that also stars Karl Urban.
A COMPLETE UNKNOWN---Benedict Cumberbatch will play Pete Seeger in the Bob Dylan biomovie.
TRIVIA---more James Bond movie trivia.

Re: Movie/TV Newsweek
Ridley Scott. Napoleon. Just seen a trailer for this and it looks as if they have used footage from the old Rod Steiger film for the attack of French Cavalry on British squares at Waterloo. I suppose it would cost too much to recreate that and that film did that very well but a bit cheapskate perhaps. Or I may be wrong.
