MONDAY, OCTOBER 26

THE WALKING DEAD---spoiler alert (see below).

SHERLOCK---trailer released for the 90-minute, Victorian era-set Sherlock special which premieres on January 1.

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK7oLSM7g8w


FORTUNATELY, THE MILK---Johnny Depp is in negotiations to star in 20th Century Fox movie underway based on the children's book. Edgar Wright (SHAUN OF THE DEAD) will direct the movie with a script by Bret McKenzie (FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS).

JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS---the movie's opening weekend earned only $1.2 million which gave it the dubious honor of being the worst opening ever for a major studio movie released in 2,000 or more theaters.

BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA---Kurt Russell commented on Dwayne Johnson's remake of the 1986 cult classic John Carpenter movie, "Dwayne Johnson I don't know what his take on it is gonna be, I don't know what they're gonna do. I always look at those movies when I see a remake and it's like, 'Ok… there's gotta be a reason' I did one with John [Carpenter], we did the remake of THE THING. But John didn't want to remake the original movie, he wanted to remake WHO GOES THERE?...Which had never been made, which was the short story. So ours is in fact quite different that the original THING and it was a horrific monster laughs] and it took a long time for that movie to kind of gain it's appreciation but through the years it's been nice to watch that happen with that movie, it's now considered one of the great horror movies ever made and I'm very proud to have been a part of that.
So with BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA John and I, I know we did something that at that time was –The sensibility of that movie was very different, no movie had been made like that, and virtually you flip-flopped the leading man and the sidekick, you flip-flopped those roles, that had never been done. And a lot of the humor and the style of that movie was brand new for that time and was very much copied after that, so in its way BIG TROUBLE is definitely a cult film. So I don't know what their reasons are for remaking the movie but I hope that they have the right reasons and I hope that they do it well and good luck, what can I say? I don't know, I don't have thoughts other than that. Hang in there, good luck, go get em'."





THE RAID---the future of the US remake of the 2011 Indonesian movie is in doubt after Taylor Kitsch, director Patrick Hughes and studio distributor Screen Gems left the project

HIGH LIFE---Robert Pattinson and Mia Goth star in this sci fi movie about criminals who participate in an outer space experiment involving human reproduction, but the experiment goes awry when their space ship is caught in a cosmic ray storm.

THE GOONIES---Sean Astin commented on the status of the sequel, "... people really want it. And when people want something that bad, it's the job of the studio to deliver."
He added, "...I don't know if it's [THE GOONIES] and their kids, or they just do a total reboot. Is it about people later in life rediscovering the magic? I don't know. They have lots of ideas and they've been developing in different ways, but I just don't think they've arrived at what they think the best option is. I wish they'd just break the logjam, because it's so popular..."

WONDER WOMAN---a rumor says the movie involves Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor teaming up to stop Ares and Circe from starting World War III. Batman, played by Ben Affleck, will appear in two scenes, and Wonder Woman's invisible jet will be featured briefly.

ZOOTOPIA---Walt Disney Animation Studio movie underway set in an animal universe where the police force's first bunny cop teams up with a con artist fox to solve a baffling mystery. Jason Bateman, Ginnifer Goodwin, JK Simmons, Tommy Chong, Idris Elba and Alan Tudyk star.

SUPER TROOPERS 2---the sequel is underway with Erik Stolhanske, Kevin Heffernan and Jay Chandraserkhar returning.

THE WALKING DEAD---showrunner Scott Gimple commented on Glenn's apparent death in the latest episode, “Dear fans of The Walking Dead, this is a hard story to tell...I knew we should say something about it lest our silence say something we didn’t mean to say or not say. So I’ll say this: In some way, we will see Glenn, some version of Glenn or parts of Glenn again, either in flashback or in the current story to help complete the story.”
Also, a recent photo taken on the set shows Steven Yeun playing Glenn and other cast members filming a future episode.

Best Guess: The Body of the other guy fell on top of GLENN and that is what we saw getting torn apart by the walkers.

He either crawled under the dumpster or started under the body until the walker were distracted and left.

Just a guess mind you, but it makes a lot of sense.

This new Walking Dead season has been a real action oriented, nail-biting season.

Spoilers ahead:

I hope Ford is right and that Glenn isn't dead.

Yeah, really enjoying TWD this season. I like the fact that it is happening in real time hour for hour. But if not Glenn who will it be. We know someone has to go.

In the UK Virgin have added Fox to my basic package (unless I always had it & didn't notice), so I've started recording TWD season 6, but I missed the first episode, & I haven't seen season 5 yet (waiting for the box set price to nudge down a bit). So do I start looking at season six from ep. 2 & catch up with season 5 later, yeah I probably will smile

Do people really want it, bad? Is that the word on the street? I suppose if they do, then the studios will reluctantly have to re-make it, even though they hate remaking movies smile

I don't think the premise of The Goonies--kids outdoors having parent-free adventures--is something today's moviegoing public is willing to accept, even as a fantasy movie; children going outside just doesn't happen anymore.

Good. I have no issue with English Language remakes if they are done properly (which does happen....occasionally)....but The Raid has a perfectly serviceable English Language dub track on the DVD/Blu which suffices just fine for those who don't fancy the subtitles.

This movie does not need to be remade.

I think people want it in as far as the level of nostalgia for the film is enormous and Hollywood likes easy cash grabs (aka reboots, reimagining, etc) instead of spending money creating new properties.

Re: WALKING DEAD

I wish Glenn were alive too, but alas that doesn't seem to be the case. His death was fairly apparent, and the showrunner seems to confirm so in the quote above. If they've really killed him off, that's gotta be some of the worst writing ever. And yeah, I know they live in a world where anyone can go (GAME OF THRONES-style), but Glenn has been set up as a future leader from the very first season. It's rather speculative writing if they're killing him off just for the 'shock effect'.

Seems like Rick is next to go, judging from the episode climax.

Could we PLEASE keep Walking Dead spoilers inside [ spoiler] [ / spoiler ] boxes?! THREE major deaths spoiled for me already.

I hadn't come round to Walking Dead and so I caught up with the first 3 episodes yesterday and today and holy shit, has this season started off strong. I didn't have any doubts that Glenn is dead after this episode lol, no way he could survive that horde and lying trapped underneath another body which zombies are feasting on. He's had a great run. Somebody had to give, it couldn't keep being the new kids on the block who got killed off. In all honesty I'm kinda tired of Maggie anyway...

@ Mr. Jack, don't click on any thread, news, social media link about walking dead when you haven't caught up with the last episode. I make that a general rule. I appreciate Dragon doing the courtesy of a spoiler alert, but this is the internet, somebody will write it out.

i think fords right. The origins of the entrails were deliberately out of shot - therefore definitely what ford said.
Im sure hiding under the dumpster comes into it or - as ford says - a distraction or something driving over them does the trick!!

Brilliant thrill ride every episode.

I also like the message about how dangerous flaky people are. In the Walking dead world its life or death to some. In a business world, such chocolate melts can cost people jobs!

There's spoiler quotes built into the system for a reason. I don't see why ppl don't use them.

Anyway since the cat is out of the bag... I don't watch the series but can he be not dead, but undead? So the character would still continue on, though in a twisted way!

Exactly...Walking Dead is pretty much THE most popular series on TV, so it'd be nice to not have spoilers casually tossed out about major character deaths...if there's a spoiler box option, please use it.

So, even though his head and legs were exposed, every Walker who was able decided not to bite him? I don't quite buy it.
