THE WALKING DEAD---the last episode. "Omega", had the lowest audience in series history with only 4.5 million viewers. The biggest audience was 17.3 million viewers for Season 5's premiere.
Showrunner Angela Kang said she is not saving the best for the last for Season 10, "It's kind of just amazing that we're going into the 10th season. It's certainly a milestone that most people never get to cross and we're so grateful to the fans around the world that have been on that journey with us. I'm approaching it as 'I've got to make a great 10th season.' I can't assume anything... You can fall into a trap, just planning ahead and saving the great material for later. We always have to approach it as — we got to put the good material in now."
A GAME OF BIRDS AND WOLVES---DreamWorks Pictures movie underway based on the upcoming World War II book about Operation Raspberry which "tells the story of the unlikely heroes of the Western Approaches Tactical Unit - a retired naval captain and eight young women - whose eureka moment cracked the battle of the Atlantic."
THE LORD OF THE RINGS---Screenrant says that the Amazon Prime tv series, according to the recently-released map, is not set in Silmarillion in the First Age because it is set in the Third Age, "...it can be deduced that the map is of the early-to-mid Third Age, based on a specific point. The Mirkwood forest can be seen under the label of Rhovanion, and it has an indentation on its eastern side; that's a result of an event known as the East Bight of Mirkwood - forestry that occurred during the Third Age by the Northmen.
Furthermore, it doesn't seem possible that the Lord of the Rings series will focus on a young Aaragon either, as has been rumored for a year now, because the map also shows the region of Calenardhon - a kingdom that eventually transformed into the kingdom of Rohan in the Third Age. Since Aragorn wasn't born until a little over 400 years after the founding of Rohan, it's impossible for the show to focus on him, at least at that point in time. However, that doesn't mean the series can't feature a time jump."
BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING---Screen Gems remake underway of the 1965 Otto Preminger movie that starred Laurence Olivier and Carol Lynley.
GHOSTBUSTERS 3---Jason Reitman commented on the sequel to his father's, Ivan Reitman, movies, “We are in every way trying to go back to original technique and hand the movie back to the fans...[I'm] not making the JUNO of GHOSTBUSTERS movies." Reitman than clarified that he is not slighting the Paul Feig all-female movie, “Wo, that came out wrong! I have nothing but admiration for Paul and Leslie and Kate and Melissa and Kristen and the bravery with which they made Ghostbusters 2016. They expanded the universe and made an amazing movie!”
LET HIM GO---Kevin Costner and Diane Lane star in this movie based on the novel about a retired sheriff and his wife who try to rescue their grandson from a dangerous family in the Dakotas.
THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME---Jason Clarke, Riley Keough and Haley Bennett will co-star with Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Mia Wasikowska and Bill Skarsgard in the Netflix movie based on the novel.
HULK HOGAN---Chris Hemsworth will star in this untitled Netflix/Todd Phillips biomovie about the early days of WWE star Hulk Hogan.
THE SILVER BEAR---Michael B. Jordan will star in this movie based on the novel about a deadly assassin.
THE WANDERING EARTH---Netflix bought the rights to the hit Chinese sci fi movie about mankind seeking to escape Earth and colonize other planets after the imminent explosion of the Sun.
THE LIVING DEAD---writer Daniel Kraus tweeted that he has finished writing the unfinished George A. Romero zombie novel which will be published in 2020, "I have turned in THE LIVING DEAD, the massive zombie epic I co-wrote with George Romero. While writing, I wore George’s scarf, a gift from his wife."
THE WIZARD OF OZ---untitled tv series underway based on the classic novel in which a young servant girl must protect Oz from the return of a long-exiled evil witch.
FRIDAY BLACK---Universal Pictures movie underway based on the short story anthology in which a dystopian future department store salesman has to battle throngs of Black Friday customers to win a sales contest and give the prize to his mother as a present.
SKULL & BONES---Ubisoft all-female tv series underway based on the video game.
TRIVIA---in the original INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, at the movie's end, Dr. Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) is on a crowded highway and frantically warns passing motorists about the invading pod people. One motorist yells back, "Get outta the street. Go on, get outta here!" The motorist's voice was veteran character actor Jesse White, who is best known as the Maytag repairman, "the loneliest guy in town".

Maybe that would have been good, if they had done just the TINIEST BIT of a research. The "comply" quote was from two-legged ED-209 attack machine, not Robocop himself.
Nerd FAIL.
