TRIVIA---J. Lee Thompson directed the hit World War II movie THE GUNS OF NAVARONE based on the Alistair MacLean novel. During filming, actress Gia Scala asked to cut Thompson's hair and shaved a strip on the back of his head. Thompson said, "Gia Scala, who was a little crazy, decided I needed a haircut. She was a little upset over some scene we had done. I just sat there while she cut my hair and she ruined it. It made me look ridiculous! I had to wear a hat." Actor James Darren mitigated the bad haircut a little by making up the back of Thompson's head. According to some sources, Scala retaliated because Thompson ordered her to get her hair cut short to make her look boyish over her objections.
Thompson said about working with Scala earlier on AIM AT THE STARS, "She was absolutely crazy...after the film was finished, I said, 'Thank God. I hope I never have to work with her again. And then when I inherited GUNS OF NAVARONE, who was in the cast? Gia Scala!"
In 1972, Scala was found dead in her home. Los Angeles County Coroner Thomas Noguchi ruled her death was accidental by "acute ethanol and barbiturate intoxication".
However, Scala's sister claimed she was murdered because her nude body was found sprawled across her bed, there were bruises on her body and blood on her pillow.

This was only my third role after "The Apple" and "Powder Heads", a Canadian ski comedy. I was back in London and Sylvester Stallone cast me."' Stewart said apparently her British accent was not very convincing because her voice was dubbed in the final film.

Funny how these things come together.

I occasionally listen to some of the Joe Rogan pod casts and currently listening to recent one with Jack Carr who I had never heard of and had to Google. Ex SEAL who wrote the Terminal List mentioned in this thread just the other day.

Only problem is going to be on Amazon. Managed to avoid the company so far and have no intention of changing now.

STAR WARS---Mark Hamill tweeted that he will probably never play Luke Skywalker again, "I had a beginning, middle, and end. Those films gave me far more than I ever expected when we started out so it's never even occurred to me. My farewell was in Episode IX and it was bittersweet. I love all those people and I certainly have affection for George and the character he created. I'm full of gratitude for what it has given me and my career but I don't want to be greedy. There are still so many more stories to tell and so many great actors to tell them, they don't need me."

DEADPOOL 3---co-creator Rob Liefeld said he is not optimistic about a new sequel, “Here’s what people don’t want to hear, but thank God I’m a realist. I feel like Deadpool, the movies, they’ve set sail. We got two brilliant movies, and we live in a culture that always looks forward because all they’re ever selling us is ‘next, next, next.’ It’s the fever. For me, as the fever calms down, people just need to calm down and realize that DEADPOOL 1 and 2 were released within two years of each other, 2016 and 2018, and I just can’t… I’m not really that crazy about Marvel’s plan right now.”

NIGHT WOLF---Tim Story is in talks to direct this Kevin Hart comedy movie about a man who discovers his future father-in-law is the secret superhero Night Wolf.

MOONFALL---Josh Gad will star in this Roland Emmerich sci fi disaster movie about a ragtag group of astronauts who go into outer space to prevent the Moon from colliding with the Earth.

We were in prep and it was the darkest thing you’ve ever seen. It started with Alfred’s funeral and Bruce has fallen in love and renounced being Batman, the Joker kills his wife, and then you discover it was all a lie. Just that the love itself was constructed by the Joker to break [Bruce].”

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD---Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron commented on their feud while filming the sequel. Theron said, “In retrospect, I didn’t have enough empathy to really, truly understand what he must have felt like to step into Mel Gibson’s shoes. That is frightening! And I think because of my own fear, we were putting up walls to protect ourselves instead of saying to each other, ‘This is scary for you, and it’s scary for me, too. Let’s be nice to each other.’ In a weird way, we were functioning like our characters: Everything was about survival.”
Hardy said, “I think in hindsight, I was in over my head in many ways. The pressure on both of us was overwhelming at times. What she needed was a better, perhaps more experienced, partner in me. That’s something that can’t be faked. I’d like to think that now that I’m older and uglier, I could rise to that occasion.”

KUNG FU---CW ordered to series the female-led reboot about a Chinese-American girl who drops out of college, enters a Chinese monastery and uses martial arts to fight crime.

CASSIAN ANDOR---Jimmy Smits (Bail Organa) and Alistair Petrie (Gen. Draven) are reportedly in talks to appear on the Disney + series that is a prequel to ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY.

THE CONTINENTAL---Chad Stahelski commented on the Starz JOHN WICK spinoff tv series, “The angle they’re working on THE CONTINENTAL TV show right now is a different perspective on the whole world, it’s coming at it from different characters’ points of view and what the breadth of the world is. Whereas in John Wick I’m following a time period that’s almost just a week in the life of one man, [for] who everything spirals out of control, which our John Wick story. The angle that the other producers and writers on the TV show are coming from is a very different timeline structure and a very different perspective of character. About how deep the world goes, and not just assassins but everything that’s included. And a lot of the origin stories are some of the characters you see in Wick. So It’s got some very interesting things, it’s a very interesting take on the Wick world, which I think it pretty cool. But it won’t be from the John Wick perspective. Not that John Wick won’t be involved with it, it’s just not from his perspective.”

AMERICAN SON---Russell Crowe will star in this US remake of the French movie A PROPHET in which a criminal overthrows his mentor and takes over a crime syndicate.

THROTTLE---HBO Max movie underway based on the Stephen King novella.

A MAN WALKS INTO A BAR---Mark Duplass will direct this movie based on the novel about a stand-up comic and his audience.

CUBA---the CAPONE team of Tom Hardy and Josh Trank are reuniting for an untitled tv miniseries. Trank said the miniseries is,"... a story that spans decades, from right at the end of World War II and concerning the formation of the CIA, but from a point of view that hasn’t really been seen in a movie or in television before, and is just mentioned in books. It deals a lot with Castro and Cuba, and capitalism versus Communism."

RESIDENT EVIL---James Cameron said the horror movie is one of his guilty pleasures, “One of my guilty-pleasure films that I actually think is quite beautifully made is ‘Resident Evil.’ Watching Michelle Rodriguez in that film, moving like this feral creature, is joyful.”

CUSTOM OF THE COUNTRY---Sofia Coppola tv miniseries underway based on the novel.

MAD MAX---George Miller confirmed he is working on a young Furiosa prequel movie. He is looking for an actress in her twenties after he decided against bring back Charlize Theron for the role using de-aging technology, “For the longest time, I thought we could just use CG de-aging on Charlize, but I don’t think we’re nearly there yet. Despite the valiant attempts on THE IRISHMAN, I think there’s still an uncanny valley. Everyone is on the verge of solving it, particular Japanese video-game designers, but there’s still a pretty wide valley, I believe.”

STAR WARS---Mark Hamill commented on the division between STAR WARS fans, "I don’t know when, over the period of time, fandom became so contentious. But people are really opinionated, and you can’t help but be opinionated yourself, because you’ve lived with the character so long. So whether it was on Episode VII, VIII or IX, I’d have disagreements, and I would say to whoever it was, “Well, I don’t know if that’s right.” But everyone shares the same goal: you want to make the best movie you can.
I love the new cast. I think the characters are great and all the actors are just perfect. I wish I’d gotten to work with them more, obviously, because I was so isolated. But you know, I never expected to come back at all. It was bittersweet, but I was able to enjoy it from a different perspective than years ago when I was in my twenties. So it was just fun to be a part of it, and it was sad in a way, because I knew it would be the last time I’d ever play Luke."

SCARFACE---Luca Guadadgino (CALL ME BY YOUR NAME) will direct the Universal Pictures reboot movie.

SUPERMAN & LOIS---CW released a synopsis for the tv series starring Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch, n SUPERMAN & LOIS, after years of facing megalomaniacal supervillains, monsters wreaking havoc on Metropolis, and alien invaders intent on wiping out the human race, the world’s most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin, “Teen Wolf”) and comic books’ most famous journalist, Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch, “Grimm”), come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever – dealing with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society. Complicating the already daunting job of raising two boys, Clark and Lois must also concern themselves with whether or not their sons Jonathan (Jordan Elsass, “Little Fires Everywhere”) and Jordan (Alexander Garfin, “The Peanuts Movie”) could inherit their father’s Kryptonian superpowers as they grow older.
Returning to Smallville to handle some Kent family business, Clark and Lois are reacquainted with Lana Lang (Emmanuelle Chriqui, “Entourage”), a local loan officer who also happens to be Clark’s first love, and her Fire Chief husband Kyle Cushing (Erik Valdez, “Graceland”). The adults aren’t the only ones rediscovering old friendships in Smallville as the Kent sons are reacquainted with Lana and Kyle’s rebellious daughter, Sarah (Inde Navarrette, “Wander Darkly”). Of course, there’s never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois’ father, General Samuel Lane (Dylan Walsh, “Nip/Tuck”) looking for Superman to vanquish a villain or save the day at a moment’s notice. Meanwhile, Superman and Lois’ return to idyllic Smallville is set to be upended when a mysterious stranger (Wolé Parks, “All American”) enters their lives.”

TRIVIA---Kate Winslet commented on the movie's soundtrack, “I feel like throwing up when I hear it. No, actually, I do feel like throwing up. I wish I could say, ‘Oh listen, everybody! It’s the Celine Dion song!’ But I don’t. I just have to sit there, you know, kind of straight-faced with a massive internal eye-roll.”

Inside tidbit: Anson Mount graduated from Sewanee, aka The Univeristy of the South, also my college alma mater, a small liberal arts school located in the mtns of Tennessee. He matriculated after me so we are not acquainted. He is not a lot younger than me, but he is definitely younger.

At Sewanee he was a member of Lambda Chi fraternity. (I was a member of ATO) The Lamb Chops were one of the more nerdier frats “on the mountain”. Good GPAs and nice guys, but not known for their super coolness. His father, of the same name also attended Sewanee, and was a well known writer, for Playboy.

We were small enough school that everyone pretty much knows everyone. I’ve heard no scandalous tales of his time there, so he must have been pretty well behaved.
