LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSfX-nrg-lI RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON---trailer released for the Walt Disney animated movie. LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BPMTr-NS9s THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT---trailer released for the HBO Max eight-part miniseries starring Kaley Cuoco. LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP_WC5oOCe8 ANIMANIACS--trailer released foe the Hulu animated series. LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNCDu4nmt8M WILLOW---Warwick Davis is returning for the untitled Lucasfilm/Disney+ tv series sequel to the 1988 Ron Howard movie. John M. Chu (CRAZY RICH ASIANS) will direct the pilot. Jonathan Kasdan (SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY) is the writer. BACK TO THE FUTURE 4---co-writer Bob Gale commented on a fourth movie, "We told a complete story with the trilogy. If we went back and made another one, we’d have Michael J. Fox, who will be sixty next year, and he has Parkinson’s Disease. Do we want to see Marty McFly at age sixty with Parkinson’s Disease? Did we want to see him at age fifty with Parkinson’s Disease? I would say ‘No, you don’t want to see that.’ And you don’t want to see BACK TO THE FUTURE without Michael J. Fox. People say, ‘Well, do it with somebody else.’ Really? Who are you going to get? All you’re gonna do is beg comparisons to the originals, and you’re not going to match up. And we’ve seen this repeatedly with sequels that go back to the well after many, many years, and they go ‘Ah, well, THE PHANTOM MENACE, maybe my life would have been better if I hadn’t seen it.’ There are a lot of extra sequels like that. We didn’t want to be those guys who did a movie that was basically a moneygrab. Universal says to us, ‘You’d guys would make a whole lot of money,’ but we’re like, ‘Well, we’ve already made a whole lot of money with these movies, and we like them just the way they are. And as proud parents, we’re not going to sell our kids into prostitution.’" He added, "We have an understanding with Spielberg and Amblin that there would never be another BACK TO THE FUTURE movie without our blessing or being involved. So, it's not going to happen." DAY SHIFT---Jamie Foxx will star in this Netflix movie about a man who works as pool cleaner to support his young daughter and his real occupation as a vampire hunter. THE SON---Jake Gyllenhaal will star in this Denis Villeneuve/HBO movie based on the Jo Nesbo novel. FAST & FURIOUS---the franchise will end with two more movies underway and Justin Lin returning as the director. THE WOMAN IN THE HOUSE---Kristen Bell will star in this Netflix eight-part miniseries whose synopsis says, "Bell plays the heartbroken Anna, a woman who sits with her wine, staring out the window and watching life go by without her. When a handsome neighbor moves in across the street, she starts to see a light at the end of the tunnel. That is until she witnesses a gruesome murder… Or did she?" TRIVIA---character actor James Best, best known for THE DUKES OF HAZZARD and THE KILLER SHREWS, has an uncredited appearance in FORBIDDEN PLANET as a crewman on the C-57D spaceship. James Best (right) has an uncredited role as a crewman on the C-57D spaceship in FORBIDDEN PLANET.

Perhaps Bob Gale should not waste his time presuming what we, the audience, would want to see. To be fair, he’s probably right that seeing a 60 year old Marty McFly with Parkinson’s behind the wheel of the Flying Delorean would be either tactlessly funny or horribly depressing and not really the feel good adventure the original trilogy was.
