HAN SOLO---multiple sources say Alden Ehrenreich (HAIL, CAESAR!) will play young Han Solo in the origin movie. Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Pictures have not confirmed the reports.
THE MUMMY---Universal Pictures released the synopsis for the reboot movie starring Tom Cruise and Sofia Boutella.
"Thought safely entombed in a crypt deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient queen (Sofia Boutella of Kingsman: The Secret Service and Star Trek Beyond) whose destiny was unjustly taken from her, is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.
From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters."
FEUD---new FX/Ryan Murphy anthology series about famous feuds. Season 1 is about the feud between Joan Crawford and Bette Davis who temporarily put aside their differences to star in WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon star.
IRREDEEMABLE---movie underway based on the superhero comic book. Adam McKay (THE BIGSHOT) is the director.
TWIN PEAKS---Piper Laurie commented on why she's not returning to the sequel series, "I made it very clear to David and the team that I would be delighted to come back. I had a fantastic time on the original and won lots of awards. I'm surprised and I have no idea why I haven't been called back. I did send a note to David that I would be delighted to return, but I think most of the material that I was in on the original didn't really involve the darker aspects of the show, and I can guess maybe that's where David and Mark Frost are going, but I really don't know."
A source for Joan Chen said about her not returning, "totally OK with not being included in the revival...Lynch couldn't find something for her or Piper Laurie that would make sense."
GROUNDED---Anne Hathaway is the star/producer of this movie based on the play she starred in about a conflicted US Air Force pilot who controls drones.
JEKYLL---Lionsgate movie underway based on the miniseries about Dr. Jekyll's descendant who transforms into Mr. Hyde. Ellen DeGeneres is the co-producer.
CATS---Universal Pictures movie underway based on the Broadway musical. Tom Hooper (THE KING'S SPEECH) is the director. Hooper is considering CGI, live action or a combination of the two for the movie.
ESCOBAR---the real life husband-and-wife team of Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz will star in this movie based on the true story of the romance between drug lord Pablo Escobar and tv host Virginia Vallejo.
THE NIGHT STALKER---movie about an attorney who visits serial killer Richard Ramirez, The Night Stalker, in San Quentin prison in order to free her client who was convicted of crimes perhaps committed by Ramirez. Lou Diamond Phillips and Bellamy Young star.
BETTYVILLE---Shirley MacLaine and Matthew Broderick will star in this dramedy tv series about a man who returns to his hometown to care for his aging mother.
WONDER---Julia Roberts and Jacob Tremblay star in this movie based on the novel about a boy with a facial deformity who enters a mainstream school for the first time.
PATRIOTS DAY---Melissa Benoist (SUPERGIRL) has joined the cast of Mark Wahlberg, John Goodman and Kevin Bacon in this movie about the terrorist attack on the Boston Marathon.

Wasn't Catherine blown to bits anyway? (Oh wait, this is Twin Peaks.....death is not necessarily the end!)

Mmmf. Although passable, the awkward staging of his Les Miserables film doesn't convince me that Hooper is ideal for musical adaptations.

But isn't the story already well known?
Is this not like making a movie about the Titanic? We all know how it ends.
To the last two generations, I wouldn't think so. And I think we've already crossed the line into younger movie goers who've never seen "Jaws".
