MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13 HOUSE OF CARDS---amidst the Kevin Spacey sex scandals, sources say Netflix won't cancel the series, and the writers are trying to find a way to continue the series without Spacey's Frank Underwood. A rumor claims Underwood will be killed off which leads to Claire Underwood (Robin wright) as the main character. Also, Sony Pictures will pay $10 million to reshoot Spacey's scenes with Christopher Plummer in Ridley Scott's ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD. THE MEG---Warner Bros. released the synopsis for the Jason Statham movie based on the novel MEG, “A deep-sea submersible – part of an international undersea observation program – has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific… with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, expert deep sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Statham) is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer (Winston Chao), against the wishes of his daughter Suyin (Li Bingbing), to save the crew – and the ocean itself – from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon. What no one could have imagined is that, years before, Taylor had encountered this same terrifying creature. Now, teamed with Suyin, he must confront his fears and risk his own life to save everyone trapped below… bringing him face to face once more with the greatest and largest predator of all time.” PREDATOR---Jim and John Thomas, the writers of the original 1987 movie, talked about their concept for the sequel which had Arnold Schwarzengger returning as Dutch, “We had an idea where at the end [of PREDATOR], with the burned up clearing where the explosion happens… [PREDATOR 2] opens there. Predator’s invisible feet come into view and a hand plunges down into the dust, into the ashes, and brings up the Predator’s arm and then activates the computer and get’s a readout to see everything that had happened up to that time, focusing on Arnold, and ‘this is my target.’ We went from there and we had to think of how to bring Arnold back into it.” A second idea was set in World War II, “We also had an idea about doing a World War 2 version in the Battle of the Bulge, in the middle of the winter. A German foot platoon and an American platoon separated, and had a stalemate fighting each other off when the Predator shows up. They have to join together to defeat it. We thought the snow Predator effect would be quite different.” Schwarzenegger rejected the sequel in favor of TERMINATOR 2. The 1990 sequel, PREDATOR 2, starred Danny Glover and Gary Busey. Also, Edward James Olmos said the reboot movie, THE PREDATOR, will have more humor than the previous movies, “I haven’t seen any of it, but it’s gonna be funny. The kids in the thing. Yeah, the humor. Huge. Huge. I mean I was in shock, because, you know this is a really intense franchise, and it still is. Don’t get me wrong. You’re gonna be inside of it. But the characters are… what he did – Shane is an incredibly gifted writer, and he’s a great director, and so he ended up getting an incredible ensemble, and when I reached it they had already been filming for three months so they were a unit. So I jump in as the General and there were some moments where I just had to laugh in the scene and I couldn’t be laughing in the scene. ‘I’m sorry guys. Really, I’m sorry.'” DEADWOOD---although HBO hasn't approved the tv movie, reportedly, filming will begin in the fall, 2018 and will focus on the Al Swearengen's Gem Theater saloon burning down and Swearengen escaping by barge. SEX SCANDALS---the latest Hollywood scandals include Richard Dreyfuss (JAWS) who was accused of sexual harassment by co-writer Jessica Teich, who said in the 1980s Dreyfuss had an erection when she went to his trailer, “I remember my face being brought close to his penis. I can’t remember how my face got close to his penis, but I do remember that the idea was that I was going to give him a blow job. I didn’t, and I left.” Dreyfuss replied, "I emphatically deny ever “exposing” myself to Jessica Teich, whom I have considered a friend for 30 years. I did flirt with her, and I remember trying to kiss Jessica as part of what I thought was a consensual seduction ritual that went on and on for many years. I am horrified and bewildered to discover that it wasn’t consensual. I didn’t get it. It makes me reassess every relationship I have ever thought was playful and mutual.” Earlier, Dreyfuss' son, Harry, said he had been sexually groped by Kevin Spacey when he was a teenager. George Takei (STAR TREK) was accused of sexual assault by actor Scott R. Brunton when he awoke in Takei's house in 1981 and claimed Takei was, “groping at my crotch and trying to get my underwear off”. Takei denied the accusation. Steven Seagal (UNDER SIEGE) denied sexual harassment accusations by several women, including Jenny McCarthy, Portia de Rossi and Julianna Margulies. Anthony Edwards (TOP GUN, ER) said Broadway producer Gary Goddard started sexually assaulting him when he was 12 years old, "I was molested by Goddard, my best friend was raped by him ?— ?and this went on for years." Goddard denied the accusation. Producer Andrew Kreisberg (THE FLASH, ARROW) was suspended by Warner Bros. TV Group after 15 women accused him of sexual harassment. Also, Warner Bros. denied a report that Gal Gadot will not return for the WONDER WOMAN sequel unless producer Brett Ratner, who has been accused of sexual harassment, is no longer involved with the sequel.

While I'm glad Arnold reject those and did T2 (the best Terminator film hands down in my opinion), except for one (the Predator surviving), all those are good ideas and be worthy of being made. IF the original writers write them. And Silvestri scores them.

I'll just go ahead and predict the future here: "The Meg": Soon to come to the Nostalgia Critic and CinemaSins Youtube channels. That's some easy predicting there!

PREDATOR will undoubtedly be about Arnold's sexual harassment of extras and P.A>S on location! bruce ps in case you forgot or didn't know, these allegations came out when he ran for Governor of KALIFAWNYA!
