MONDAY, DECEMBER 8
GODZILLA---Toho Studios is developing a new Godzilla movie after the success of the US Legendary Pictures reboot movie, "We have received earnest requests for the revival from fans. We want to begin production as early as next summer." The movie will use CGI which could mean an end to the traditional man-in-suit monster.” Toho's last Godzilla movie was GODZILLA: FINAL WARS in 2004.
STAR TREK---Roberto Orci was removed as director of the sequel by Paramount Pictures for undisclosed reasons. Rumors claim the dispute involved the script co-written by Orci in which the crew of the Enterprise, Vulcans and an alien race compete for a time travel device which could save Vulcan. Edgar Wright (SHAUN OF THE DEAD) was rumored to be a candidate to replace Orci. Trekkies have started a Twitter campaign, #BringinRiker, to get Jonathan Frakes, director/co-star of STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT, to replace Orci.
SAN ANDREAS---photo released from the movie starring Dwayne Johnson and Carla Gugino in which a search-and-rescue pilot and his estranged wife journey to San Francisco in search of their missing daughter after a magnitude nine earthquake strikes California.
THE BABADOOK---director Jennifer Kent commented on a sequel to the well-received Australian horror movie, "Well, the good news is, I had the foresight to make sure that my producer and I owned the rights to any sequels. The reason for that is I will never allow any sequel to be made, because it's not that kind of film. I don't care how much I'm offered, it's just not going to happen."
READY PLAYER ONE---Robert Zemeckis (FORREST GUMP, BACK TO THE FUTURE) is rumored to be the top candidate to direct the movie based on the sci fi novel in which a teenager takes on corporations in a virtual reality after the game's designer dies. Other candidates include Peter Jackson, Christopher Nolan, Edgar Wright and Matthew Vaughn.
THE FLASH---Mark Hamill will reprise his role as The Trickster, the role he played in the original CBS THE FLASH series.
BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE---Jeremy Irons said about his role as Alfred the butler, “He is quite a different Alfred than we have seen so far. Zack Snyder had very clear views about what he wanted. I would just say he’s more hands-on perhaps than just a butler.”
THE SUICIDE SQUAD---John Ostrander, creator of the DC Comics comic book, said he's very happy with Tom Hardy and Jared Leto starring in the movie. He's also happy with the rumored candidates for the role of Amanda Waller: Oprah Winfrey, Queen Latifah and CCH Pounder.
LEFTOVERS---HBO will give the series a "creative reboot" for Season 2 in which most of the supporting roles will be recast and a new setting will be involved.

Still...I cannot believe Old Spock would sit back and allow Vulcan and Mom to remain dead, knowing about the Guardian Of Forever.

Good for Paramount, getting rid of Orci is a step in the right direction. Now if paramount could just get rid of him as a producer as well.
I am guessing here, but I bet your can expect that other foot to fall shortly, if Paramount dumped his story and either 1) he huffed out of directing, or 2) they dumped him for his crappy ideas, then he will not be around to produce either. Further, they hardly need him, there are plenty of other producer teams around that can handle this just fine. Just bring in Brad Bird and let him scrap the entire script and the current writing team and start from scratch, let Brad Bird have carte-blanche at directing the way he wants. His Mission Impossible was the best one in a long time, Incredibles is a classic and Tomorrowland looks terrific.
And by all means, no more recycling story lines or villains from any of the old shows.
