FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19

GAME OF THRONES---spoiler alert (see below).

SUPERGIRL---CBS has picked up the hour-long DC Comics series from Greg Berlanti (ARROW, THE FLASH).





BILLY LYNN'S LONG HALFTIME WALK---Ang Lee (LIFE OF PI) will direct the movie based on the novel about a squad of soldiers who survived a bloody battle in Iraq and are honored at halftime during a Dallas Cowboys football game on Thanksgiving Day before returning to combat.

MAGIC MIKE XXL---Andie McDowell (GROUNDHOG DAY) and Amber Heard (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS) will co-star with Channing Tatum in the sequel. Jada Pinkett Smith is in talks to play a strip club owner.





GODZILLA---Max Borenstein is returning to write the sequel which features Rodan, Mothra and King Ghidorah. Premiere is June 8, 2018.

THE WALKING DEAD---AMC released the synopsis for Season 5, "The Walking Dead Season 4 ended with Rick and the group outgunned, outnumbered, and trapped in a train car awaiting a grim fate. The Walking Dead Season 5 picks up shortly thereafter. What follows is a story that weaves the true motives of the people of Terminus with the hopeful prospect of a cure in Washington, D.C., the fate of the group's lost comrades, as well as new locales, new conflicts, and new obstacles in keeping the group together and staying alive.
Stories will break apart and intersect. The characters will find love and hate. Peace and conflict. Contentment and terror. And, in the quest to find a permanent, safe place to call home, one question will haunt them...After all they've seen, all they've done, all they've sacrificed, lost, and held on to no matter what the cost...Who do they become?"

NFL---Paul Reiser will co-star with Will Smith, Alec Baldwin and Albert Brooks in this untitled movie about the NFL concussion controversy.

KNIGHTS OF THE ROUNDTABLE: KING ARTHUR---Astrid Berges-Frisbey (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES) will play Guinevere in this Guy Ritchie movie that stars Charlie Hunnam (SONS OF ANARCHY).

BEN-HUR---Toby Kebbell (DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES) is in talks to play villain Messala in the remake movie.

BEFORE THE FALL---Noah Hawley (FARGO) will write the movie script for his novel about a mysterious plane crash at Martha's Vineyard in which an artist and a boy are the only survivors. They learn the crash may not have been accidental. Hawley is also writing the script for one of Universal's Classic Monster reboot movies but which monster was not disclosed.

TYRANT---FX renewed the series for Season 2.

LONDON HAS FALLEN---director Frederik Bond (CHARLIE COUNTRYMAN) has left the sequel to OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN due to creative differences.

STARLIGHT---20th Century Fox movie underway based on the comic book with a script by Gary Whitta (THE BOOK OF ELI, STAR WARS spin-off movie).

IN THE DEEP---Sony Pictures movie underway in which a young woman, surfing near a remote beach, is terrorized by a great white shark.

FANTASY LIFE---Kevin Connolly (ENTOURAGE) stars in this Fox sitcom pilot based on the book in which a guy gets his dream job at a major sports network.

Will it actually feature them, or will they be doing really awesome stuff offscreen for most of the movie while a bunch of boring humans hog the running time again?

I actually preferred the style they did the re-launch Godzilla movie in. Have to use your imagination sometimes! smile I am sure the sequel or sequels will have more direct Kaiju action on screen. So everyone can be happy.

People com plain for years about the endless CGI battles in the Transformers and the Marvel film, and when it comes to Godzilla....they complain because there weren't enough CGI battles...

Sigh

The trouble with the first Transformers movie* is that there was little in it BUT CGI battles, whereas with Godzilla you can see what the intent was, but the interesting human characters just weren't there.

*I haven't seen nor have any interest in seeing the others.

It's not the case of never being satisfied. Neither are well balanced experiences. To much action in one, too little in the other.

Interesting notation: we clamor for that which is original and un-formulaic, yet when we receive such we pine for an established median. Something that adheres to... ... ... a formula.

(note: I have not yet beheld Godzilla. Soon.)

But it has to work. Imagine every time Superman was going to fly they cut to Jimmie Olson loading film in his camera. Or every time we were to see Indiana Jones facing an adversary they cut to a substitute teacher in his classroom?

Dragonslayer (1980) followed the old fashion formula of slowing revealing the monster. It cleverly built up tension and expectations until the audience were rewarded. With Godzilla they go through a lot of exposition setting up a monster fight then cut away just before it starts to something less interesting and boring.

A Supergirl remake, in film or TV is a pathetic idea.
