WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2

The script is by Aaron Sorkin (THE SOCIAL NETWORK). Lucy Arnaz and Desi Arnaz, Jr. are the producers. Representatives for Blanchett and Sorkin would not confirm the report.
STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII---the top three candidates for the female lead role are Gina Rodriguez (JANE THE VIRGIN), Tatiana Maslany (ORPHAN BLACK) and Olivia Cooke (BATES MOTEL). Maslany is reported to be the lead candidate.
READY PLAYER ONE---the top three candidates for role of Art3mis in the Steven Spielberg movie based on the sci fi novel are Elle Fanning (MALEFICENT), Lola Kirke (GONE GIRL) and Olivia Cooke.
ALL THE WAY---HBO released a photo of Bryan Cranston as President Lyndon Baines Johnson in the tv movie about Johnson's first year as president after John F. Kennedy's assassination.
THE CIRCLE---Karen Gillan (DOCTOR WHO) will co-star with Tom Hanks and Emma Watson in this movie based on the novel about internet privacy.
GAME OF THRONES---Pilou Asbaek (THE BORGIAS) will play Euron Greyjoy in Season 6.
BOURNE 5---Vincent Cassel (BLACK SWAN) will play the villain, an assassin who is targeting Jason Bourne, in the sequel starring Matt Damon, Alicia Vikander and Tommy Lee Jones.
SUPERGIRL---Glenn Morshower (24) will play General Sam Lane, father of Lois and Lucy Lane. Also, Iddo Goldberg will guest star as villain Red Tornado.
SUPERHEROES---Steven Spielberg commented on the future of superhero movies, "We were around when the Western died and there will be a time when the superhero movie goes the way of the Western. It doesn't mean there won't be another occasion where the Western comes back and the superhero movie someday returns.
Right now the superhero movie is alive and thriving... I'm only saying that these cycles have a finite time in popular culture. There will come a day when the mythological stories are supplanted by some other genre that possibly some young filmmaker is just thinking about discovering for all of us."
Also, Joaquin Phoenix commented on why he hasn't starred in a superhero movie, including turning down the role in DOCTOR STRANGE, "When I was younger I was probably a bit of a snob about [taking on blockbuster roles]. But they've gotten better. I've flirted with several of those films, having meetings and getting close, but ultimately it never felt like they'd really be fulfilling.
There were too many requirements that went against my instincts for character. I've been spoiled. I've never had to make those compromises. I've not met a director yet with one of those films where we go through the script, they say: 'You know what, [frick] this set-piece, let's focus on the character!' I understand, but it's best I don't do it."
BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE---Michael Shannon explained his earlier comment that General Zod has flippers in the sequel, "Somebody was asking me about this in New York and I made up some ridiculous bulls**t answer about how my character Zod has flippers, and this went viral on the Internet or something and people have been asking me about that. That is so obviously a complete bulls**t story, right? But people took it seriously."

That prosthetic getup is about as inversely inspired as this title is uninspired. Just throw the Emmy at the makeup team already. Won and done.
BRIDES OF DRACULA---NBC pilot underway based on the reimagining of Bram Stoker's novel in which Dracula's three brides are not killed by Professor Abraham van Helsing. The pilot synopsis says it is about “a sexy reimagining of Dracula as a family drama with a trio of strong, diverse female leads, a show about empowered women and the things they do to maintain wealth, prestige, legacy — and their non-traditional family.”
NBC's previous Dracula was already a bust from the first episode, but I guess they'll wring that rag dry yet. Yay public domain!
