MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23
GAME OF THRONES---HBO released a teaser poster for Season 6 showing Jon Snow.
LOST IN SPACE---Netflix won the bidding war for the remake of the sci fi series that ran on CBS from 1965-1968 that starred Guy Williams, June Lockhart, Bill Mumy and Jonathan Harris. The 1998 movie version starred William Hurt, Gary Oldman, Mimi Rogers and Matt LeBlanc.
THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN---Universal Pictures is seeking Angelina Jolie to star in its remake of the 1935 horror movie that starred Boris Karloff and Elsa Lanchester.
MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS---Kenneth Branagh (THOR) will direct and star in the 20th Century Fox movie based on the Agatha Christie novel. Branagh will play Hercule Poirot. The 1974 Sidney Lumet movie starred Albert Finney, Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman, Lauren Bacall, Jacqueline Bisset and Vanessa Redgrave.
JUSTICE LEAGUE MORTAL---photo released of Megan Gale (MAD MAX: FURY ROAD) as Wonder Woman from the cancelled George Miller movie that would have also starred Armie Hammer as Batman.
RIDDICK---Vin Diesel announced the next sequel FURIA and a tv series titled MERC CITY are underway, “Last night our company had a party to launch our TV division. MERC CITY is a show that will follow the Mercs and Bounty Hunters of the Riddick Universe. Next Month, DT [David Twohy] begins writing the next Chapter in the Chronicles of Riddick… FURIA.”
THE HUNGER GAMES---director Francis Lawrence commented on a possible prequel, "I'm sure if Suzanne were to get inspired and decide there's another story that's important for her to tell that exists within the world of Panem and whether about the Dark Days, another character, or another set of Games, whatever that could be, I'm sure it would be great. And I'd loved to be involved, absolutely."
He said about Katniss in the prequel, "I just think with the end of this story, we've reached the end of Katniss' story. I think that Suzanne [Collins] created such an iconic character, and I think she's the main reason why everyone comes back to these stories. Now, that's come to an end."
GHOSTBUSTERS---Sony Pictures head Tom Rothman commented on fan criticism for the all-female remake movie, "Everybody says we're making the female Ghostbusters, but I say, 'No, we're making the funny Ghostbusters.' Yes, it happens to be four women. It's original. You get pissing and moaning on the Internet - sexist comments - but, you know, f--- 'em."

Seems to me that Universal Pictures should do a decent remake of FRANKENSTEIN (ala their impressive THE WOLF MAN from 2010) before leaping into THE BRIDE...

Netflix, see that robot in that picture? That's your robot. Jobs done. Doesn't have to be redesigned. USE IT!
Well, it could you a bit of an update.
Also, the design in the 1998 wasn't all that bad either.
Now the only MAJOR thing for me is KEEP THE BASIC SAUCER design, it's still cool looking 50 years later.
Also, if you can perhaps use a big of the John Williams theme(s) that would be nice too.

Regardless, they're still at it. I don't have it in front of me at the moment, but an article in the recent issue of one of the trades -- Variety or Hollywood Reporter -- was all about the Universal folks who are trying to plan more re-boots of their classic monsters for the Millennials...
