MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10
KURSK---trailer released for the movie about the sinking of the Russian submarine starring Colin Firth and Lea Seydoux.

JAMES BOND---Said Taghmaoui (WONDER WOMAN) said Danny Boyle picked him to be the villain in the 25th James Bond movie and implied he is still involved in the sequel after Boyle left, "We don’t know who the director will be, and the producers don’t know if they’re going to go Russian or Middle East with the baddie right now. I literally just received a message saying: ‘If they go Middle East, it’s you. If they go Russian, it’s someone else.’ It’s the story of my life. Always on that line between something that could change my life and something that disappears."
Earlier reports said Boyle left after Daniel Craig vetoed Boyle's choice of Tomasz Kot as the villain.
STAR TREK: GENERATIONS---William Shatner discussed the much-maligned death of Captain Kirk in GENERATIONS, "Well, I didn’t think I had any choice in the matter. Paramount had decided that the ceiling that they could reach in our box office had been reached and they thought that by putting in the Next Generation cast, that they would reach a higher box office. That decision had been made. It was either I was going to appear and die, or they were going to say he died. So, I chose the more practical of the two."
PREDATOR---Arnold Schwarzenegger had four opportunities to return as Dutch in four PREDATOR sequels.
In PREDATOR 2, Schwarzenegger would have played the head of a government team trying to capture the City Hunter Predator, but he turned down the role because he did not like the city setting and the role was a semi-villain. Producer John Davis said the main reason he rejected the role was due to a salary dispute, not because he was involved in TERMINATOR 2 as others claim. The role eventually went to Gary Busey as team leader Peter Keyes.
In ALIEN VS. PREDATOR, director Paul WS Anderson said Schwarzenegger would have had a cameo if Schwarzenegger lost the California governor's race, but he won which ended the proposed cameo. Anderson gave no details on the cameo.
In PREDATORS, Robert Rodriguez's original script had Schwarzenegger being dropped onto a Predator planet to battle Predators in gladiator-type duels, but Schwarzenegger's being the governor led to a script change in which he only had a cameo in which he emerges from a spaceship with twelve Predators and congratulates the survivors. Again, his governor's duties prevented Schwarzenegger's return.
In Shane Black's THE PREDATOR, Schwarzenegger's cameo was rumored to be at the end of the sequel where he hints the next sequel would have even bigger Predator battles. Schwarzenegger rejected the cameo as being too small of a role.
MEMORY-THE ORIGINS OF ALIEN---a documentary is underway for the 40th anniversary of the ALIEN franchise which focuses on the untold beginning of the original movie by Dan O'Bannon and includes unseen material by O'Bannon and designer HR Giger.
IT: CHAPTER 2---writer Gary Dauberman said the sequel will include the Ritual of Chud from the novel, “The Ritual of Chüd is challenging, but it’s such an important component to the book that we had to address it. That stuff is difficult to balance, but because (director Andy Muschietti, producer Barbara Muschietti and I) worked with each other before, when I’m writing pages and all that stuff it becomes more of a conversation and less like, ‘Hey, here’s what I did.’ It’s sort of organic; it’s really kind of just chipping away at the stone and trying to find the most focused, accessible way into some of more metaphysical aspects of that book.”
SWAMP THING---director Len Wiseman said the Swamp Thing will wear a real costume of being CGI, “It’s going to look amazing and less of the ‘man in suit’ that you’ve seen in the movie and the other TV show”. He said the series will be R-rated, “We always set out to make SWAMP THING as hard R as we could and go graphic with the violence, with the adult themes and make it as scary as possible. Because we’re doing it through the DC streaming service, they really pushed us, although they didn’t have to push hard, for us to go as extreme as we could. We really took our inspiration from the Alan Moore run in SWAMP THING, this landmark I think run. Fans of that series will know it gets pretty weird and extreme and scary.”
RING KING--biomovie underway about Dwayne Johnson's father, Canadian wrestling star Rocky Johnson.
CALL ME BY YOUR NAME---Armie Hammer said a sequel is underway, “It will happen because there are already people working on it and trying to make it happen. How much do I know and how much could I tell you are two very different things. I know a lot, but I can’t tell you anything."
NANCY DREW---CW is developing a tv series based on the murder mystery books.
TRIVIA---more James Bond movie trivia.
In the movie RONIN, three Bond Villains are part of the cast that includes Robert De Niro, Natascha McElhone and Jean Reno.
Michael Lonsdale played Jean-Pierre in RONIN and Bond Villain Hugo Drax in MOONRAKER.
Sean Bean played Spence in RONIN and Bond Villain Alec Trevelyan, Agent 006, in GOLDENEYE.
Jonathan Pryce played renegade IRA leader Seamus O'Rourke in RONIN and Bond Villain media mogul Elliot Carver in TOMORROW NEVER DIES.

Is there anything really left untold about the origin of Alien? O'Bannon talked about it often and at length. It's a great story. Still interested in seeing the doco.

Kirk's Death: every so often, his death and how it was arrived at is discussed and every time, the story changes. Ever since 1994. It was either something they were hesitant to ask Shatner to do (then) or it was always going to happen and he had no choice (now).
At this point, who cares? Shatner is far too old to go back and fix it. Physically or in acting style, he doesn't resemble Kirk anymore. He died, and died kinda poorly. But that sometimes happens.

Kirk is dead?!! When did this happen?!

Kirk's death was more like something from a workplace safety video. But all respect to him, he kept a hell of a grip on those railings as he plummeted down.

That is a good point. Sadly, the death we got was an improvement over his original death, which was getting shot in the back. Didn't Shatner bring Kirk back in one of the Star Trek novels that he wrote? I know the novel's aren't viewed as canon, but it is hopefully at least entertaining.
