FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27
BLADE RUNNER---Harrison Ford was confirmed as returning as Rick Deckard in the sequel. Denis Villeneuve (INCENDIES, PRISONERS) is in negotiations to direct the sequel which is set several decades after the original movie.
SPECTRE---photos released of Lea Seydoux and Dave Bautista co-starring in the latest James Bond movie. Seydoux said about playing Dr. Madeleine Swann, "I don't consider myself a Bond girl. I think I'm not really the stereotyped Bond girl. I feel quite different. You can't be like, 'Oh, James.' You have to find something else. She's not a fighter, she's a doctor. She fights in another way."
Bautista said about playing villain Mr. Hinx, "When I came over to meet Sam [Mendes], I only asked two questions. I asked him if Mr. Hinx was a badass. He said, 'Yes, he's a badass.' I said, 'Well, is Mr. Hinx intelligent?' He said, 'Very.' That's what I like about Mr. Hinx. He's very well-dressed and very well-mannered. I'm not just here to fight people. He has a sense of humor. He definitely knows what a metaphor is."
THE DEEP BLUE GOOD-BY---Rosamund Pike (GONE GIRL) is in talks to co-star with Christian Bale in the 20th Century Fox movie based on the Travis McGee novel.

ALIEN---Neill Blomkamp clarified his earlier comment about his sequel, “I’m not trying to undo ALIEN 3 or ALIEN RESURRECTION…My favorites are the first two movies. I want to make a film that’s connected to ALIEN and ALIENS. That’s my goal.”

If Blokamp wants to utilize Ripley, his choices are awkwardly shoehorning some action in after AlienS, working with the Ripley mutant/clone 200 years later (after 'Resurrection')--for a whopping 257 year jump from ALIEN!--or asking the audience to forget about the latter two films entirely. What a mess! Remember when the story and characters of ALIEN seemed so grounded, so real? Prometheus had the latitude of re-setting the table, but the new ALIEN will be a state of the art exercise in applying timeline--and cloning!--stress to a narrative.
I would have preferred it if he contined the storyline after ALIEN: RESSURECTION, where we encounter Ripley (or "Ripley-clone") some 20 years after they arrive on Earth at the end of that film. At that point, they could be on Earth or back in space again. Lots of possibilities, and it would have made everything neat and tidy for a continuity junkie like myself.
However, I'm now starting to prepare myself for having a schizophrenic relationship to the timeline. There's the official timeline, which is what exists, and an alternative experiment-type timeline that can hopefully also be enjoyed for what it is. In either case, I can't wait to return to the universe again.

I guess it's de rigeur for a new Bond girl to state that she's the one who will be different from the ditzy Bond girls who came before her. She will finally be THE real-woman Bond girl at last! I've been hearing this line since I was a kid when they were saying Lois Chiles in MOONRAKER was the first intelligent & womanly Bond girl. And so was Carole Bouquet in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. And Carey Lowell was finally going to put an end to that bimbo Bond girl stereotype. She was a bad-ass! And so was Michelle Yeoh. And Halle Berry. And with the new Daniel Craig era, Eva Green was not going to do any of that "Oh, James" nonsense, no sir! And now thank God for Lea Seydoux. The dumb Bond girl stereotype is finally dead! Ya-hoo!!! Truth is, there have been all sorts of Bond girls from the begining: bimbos, smart ones, sensitive ones, bad-ass ones, femme fatales, sacrificial lambs, etc. But I guess we'll always get the "Finally! A Bond girl truly worthy of Bond" line with every new movie.
