LIZARD MUSIC---THE SMASHING MACHINE team of Dwayne Johnson and director Benny Safdie will reunite for the movie based on the novel whose plot is described as, "When a boy left to his own devices stumbles upon a secret late-night broadcast of lizards playing otherworldly music, a hidden door to the extraordinary swings open. His search for answers leads him to the eccentric and whimsical Chicken Man and his beloved companion, a 70-year-old chicken named Claudia — two kindred spirits who have also glimpsed the impossible. United by this shared vision, they set off on an adventure that begins as a hunt for a hidden society but blossoms into something far greater: a voyage through invisible worlds, unexpected harmonies, and the unbreakable bond between lost souls who discover magic not only in what they find, but in each other."
Johnson confirmed he has lost a lot of weight for LIZARD MUSIC.
THE LAST WITCH HUNTER 2---Vin Diesel is returning in the sequel to the 2015 movie and Michael Caine is in negotiations to come out of retirement to also return. The original movie did not do well at the box office, but it is among Netflix's five most-watched movies.
FURY---Guillermo del Toro said he is reuniting with his FRANKENSTEIN star, Oscar Isaac, for a new movie, “I’m writing it right now, and it’s called FURY and essentially it’s going back to sort of thriller aspects of NIGHTMARE ALLEY — very cruel, very violent. Like MY DINNER WITH ANDRE but killing people after each course.”
TWO AND A HALF MEN---Charlie Sheen commented on his being fired from the comedy tv series in his memoir THE BOOK OF SHEEN, "It didn't go as planned. What I chose not to quit was the testosterone cream that I was slathering on in mind-altering gobs like a f---en Pond's commercial. After all, it was 'legal.' I'd been using it to get my body back into shape, not knowing that at the same time I was being shape-shifted.
That drug is known to metabolize into the identical psych profile an anabolic steroid will produce. Anyone who bore witness to the raging demon I melded with will hopefully glean some clarity for what my state of mind was up against.
Not making excuses or asking for a pass. Just putting it out there there as a detail that may have been confused with a laundry list of other potential suspects.... I've heard great things about the drug when used responsibly, but let's keep it real — drugs and responsible are two words I never made of habit of cramming into the same sentence."
DELILAH DIRK AND THE TURKISH LIEUTENANT---Daisy Ridley is in negotiations to star in the movie based on the graphic novel about a female adventurer.
ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING---Martin Short said he wants a Season 6, “We believe we’re doing another season; we think so. But you have to live season by season. And even if it was canceled tomorrow, we would have to say, ‘We had a great, great run.’ … We loved what we were doing. It was a great way to spend five, six years.”
LEANNE---Netflix renewed the series for Season 2.
TRIVIA---September 8, 2025 was Star Trek Day to celebrate the first STAR TREK episode "Man Trap" which aired on September 8, 1966. In "Man Trap", Francine Pyne played 'Nancy III'/Salt Monster. The third episode was "Where No Man Has Gone Before" which aired on September 22, 1966 and co-starred Gary Lockwood as Lt. Cdr. Gary Mitchell and Sally Kellerman as Dr. Elizabeth Dehner.
Ironically, Francine Pyne, Gary Lockwood and Sally Kellerrman appeared in the the KRAFT SUSPENSE THEATRE episode "Connery's Hands" which aired on July 1, 1965 where Pyne played Marie, Lockwood played Frank Connery and Kellerman played Jean Severin.
