TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: THE LAST RONIN---synopsis released for the Paramount Pictures R-rated, live-action movie, “Who is the Last Ronin? In a future, battle-ravaged New York City, a lone surviving Turtle embarks on a seemingly hopeless mission seeking justice for the family he lost. From legendary TMNT co-creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, get ready for the final story of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles three decades in the making! What terrible events destroyed his family and left New York a crumbling, post-apocalyptic nightmare? All will be revealed in this climactic Turtle tale that sees longtime friends becoming enemies and new allies emerging in the most unexpected places. Can the surviving Turtle triumph?”
THE LIFE AND MURDER OF NICOLE BROWN SIMPSON---Lifetime two-part documentary about the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson from her perspective and involves over 50 people that were close to her.
S.W.A.T.---CBS renewed the series for Season 8.
MELROSE PLACE---Heather Locklear, Daphne Zuniga and Laura Leighton are returning for the reboot of the tv series that will be shopped to networks and streamers. The synopsis says, “When one of their dearest friends dies suddenly, the OG residents of Melrose Place gather to honor the deceased. But the pressure cooker of a reunion soon uncovers old traumas, rekindles old romances, reignites old resentments, and reveals new secrets . . . throwing our characters into chaotic drama that’s reminiscent of the past, but with a much more modern perspective.”
TRIVIA---in WARGAMES, a movie about a computer nuclear war game that almost causes a real nuclear war between the US and the Soviet Union, co-writers Lawrence Lasker and Walter F. Parkes based Dr. Stephen Falken, the nuclear war game creator, on Dr. Stephen Hawking. Parkes said they pictured John Lennon as Falken "because he was a kind of spiritual cousin to Stephen Hawking." Lasker said they almost got Lennon to play Falken, "through David Geffen, we'd communicated with John Lennon, and he was interested in the role." Things did not work out, and British actor John Wood played Falken.

A nuclear physicist based on a pop singer. Hollywood at its finest.

As entertaining as the Arnold version was, I hope that the remake will be closer to the novel.

Given how long John Lennon died before Wargames was made, and the fact that no one knew who Stephen Hawking was until A Brief History of Time was published, I call BS on this one.
Good call.

So after all the attempts at a fourth film, they're now doing a prequel of a prequel? I just don't understand this obsession with prequels.
You never know they might spice things up by having nothing to do with anything else. And then when it fails do it again and then ,,,,,, er.

I though ST '09 was the origin story.
What is there to re-imagine the origin of?
I hope it's not the Federation.
JJ Abrams can't handle anything that thoughtful, and negotiations meetings will not be be made any better with blinding lens flares.

For a franchise that's about the future, the powers that be in the world of Star Trek seem terrified of doing anything new. Every damn thing they do is tied to an existing entry, either by characters, settings, or point in the fictional timeline. I can't believe any Star Trek fans are into it, but here we are. For me, it died after Deep Space Nine ended.
I think Strange New Worlds is fantastic. I enjoyed the JJ Treks, too. However, most of the rest is just po-faced drek, trying to be profound, with overly dramatic actors. DS 9 and Voyager, and Avery Brooks and Robert Beltran(?) were the worst offenders. They sucked any enjoyment out of the shows. IMO, of course.

I mean, you are correct about a lot here, but it applies to every studio franchise, all of them. Trek is hardly remarkable or a worst case example.
There were good Trek shows after Deep Space, it was a good show, well written, although it was sometimes pretty darn stagey and overacted and nutty. Mercy, Avery Brooks chewed scenery, wow, he makes the Shat look subtle. I liked Enterprise and Strange New Worlds. I like all the JJ movies, yeah, that is right, I said it.
