WEDNESDAY, MAY 23
SKYSCRAPER---new trailer released for the Dwayne Johnson disaster movie.
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pIEzZVqwFs&t=36s
ZOMBIELAND---leaked information says the sequel's title is ZOMBIELAND TOO and has the original cast returning to discover a new breed of "super zombies" that are stronger, bigger and more resilient than the original movie's zombies.
ANALOG---Lionsgate movie underway based on the comic book about the future where internet security has ceased to exist and couriers, known as Ledger Men, transport top secrets in briefcases handcuffed to their wrists. Chad Stahelski (JOHN WICK) is the director.
MEN IN BLACK 4---Liam Neeson is in negotiations to play the head of MIB in England. Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson also star.
WATCHMEN---Damon Lindelof commented on his HBO tv series based on the comic book, “We have no desire to ‘adapt’ the twelve issues Mr. Moore and Mr. Gibbons created thirty years ago. Those issues are sacred ground and will not be retread nor recreated nor reproduced nor rebooted. They will, however, be remixed, because the bass lines in those familiar tracks are just too good and we’d be fools not to sample them.
Those original twelve issues are our Old Testament. When the New Testament came along it did not erase what came before it. Creation. The Garden of Eden. Abraham and Isaac. The Flood. It all happened. And so it will be with ‘Watchmen.’ The Comedian died. Dan and Laurie fell in love. Ozymandias saved the world and Dr. Manhattan left it just after blowing Rorschach to pieces in the bitter cold of Antarctica."
He added, "Most importantly, it must be contemporary. The Old Testament was specific to the Eighties of Reagan and Thatcher and Gorbachev. Ours needs to resonate with the frequency of Trump and May and Putin and the horse that he rides around on, shirtless. And speaking of Horsemen, The End of the World is off the table…which means the heroes and villains–as if the two are distinguishable – are playing for different stakes entirely.”
THE MITCHELLS VS. THE MACHINES---Sony Pictures Animation movie underway in which a dysfunctional family on a road trip has to battle machines during a global technology rebellion against mankind.
KRYPTON---Syfy renewed the series for Season 2.
DISENCHANTMENT---new Netflix/Matt Groening animated adult comedy set in medieval times.
UGLYDOLLS---Hulu animated series underway based on the toy line.
THE BABY-SITTERS CLUB---tv series underway based on the book series.
THIS IS JANE---Michelle Phillips is the star/producer of this Amazon movie based on the book THE STORY OF JANE: THE LEGENDARY UNDERGROUND FEMINIST ABORTION SERVICE.
TRIVIA---Mary Jo Deschanel played an astronaut's wife in two movies. In THE RIGHT STUFF, she played John Glenn's wife, Annie. In 2010: THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT, she played Dave Bowman's wife, Betty.
Deschanel played John Glenn's wife, Annie, in THE RIGHT STUFF.
Deschanel played Betty, Dave Bowman's wife, in 2010: THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT.

Watchmen was already ruined once, by Zack Snyder. I would hate to see it wrecked again by Lindelof, who is a huge hack.
