THE WALKING DEAD---trailer released for the Season 10 finale.

STAR TREK---Noah Hawley commented on his proposed STAR TREK movie, “What I love about STAR TREK is that it’s not a war story. It’s not a story in which might makes right. It’s a story about exploration. It’s a story about creative problem solving. My favorite moment in all of STAR TREK is in WRATH OF KHAN when Kirk puts on his reading glasses to lower Khan’s shields. It’s a brief moment that is so exhilarating because he’s using the best tool he has, which is his mind.
As much as I like the Chris Pine movies they were mostly about running from one end of the ship to the other to put out a fire, to stop a thing, and then before he could catch his breath he had to do something else. They’re much more action movies and what I wanted to get back to was this idea of humanity justifying existence in the universe by showing its best qualities.”
Hawley also discussed his ALIEN tv miniseries that was rejected by FX “ALIEN is on some level the complete opposite of STAR TREK. It’s sort of about humanity at its worst. There’s this moment in the second film when Sigourney says, ‘I don’t know which species is worse. At least they don’t screw each other over for a percentage.’ If you look at what ALIENS tends to be, it’s usually a trapped story – trapped in a ship, trapped in a prison, etc. And because the Alien has this life cycle to it, where it goes from egg, to chestburster, to xenomorph, there becomes a certain routine to it.
I thought it would be interesting if you could expand. If you’re going to make something for television, you’ve got 10 hours let’s say. Even if you have a lot of action, like two hours, then you’re still going to have eight hours left. So what is the show about? That’s what I tried to talk to them about. As I did with LEGION, the exercise is: Let’s take the superhero stuff out of the show and see if it’s still a great show. What’s the show about? Let’s take the Alien out of the show. What’s the show about? What are the themes, who are the characters and what is the human drama? Then we drop the aliens back in and we go, ‘This is great. Not only is there great human drama, but there’s aliens!'”
INDIANA JONES 5---writer David Koepp explained why Steven Spielberg decided to let James Mangold replace him as director of the new sequel, "I tried a couple different versions with Steven and they all had some good stuff about them and they all had some stuff that didn’t work, which happens. But it was just very hard to have everybody come together and have all the elements — Steven, Harrison (Ford), the script and Disney — come together at once. And it didn’t."
He added, “When James Mangold came in and Steven stepped out, that was a pretty logical breaking point. It’s a gracious time to step out the door because I think the last thing a new director wants is the old director’s writer. I mean, that’s a drag. The last thing you need is some guy sitting around with his arms folded saying, ‘Well, the way Steven would have done it is…’ I had one nice friendly conversation with him and then I’m sure he wanted to be able to move on anyway. Everybody was pretty polite, I thought.”
SUDDEN MOVE---Benecio del Toro, Jon Hamm, David Harbour, Don Cheadle and Brendan Fraser star in this Steven Soderbergh movie about a 1950s Detroit home invasion that goes awry.
THE CROWN--photo released from Season 4 shows Gillian Anderson as Prime Minster Margaret Thatcher. Premiere is on November 15.
THE ORVILLE---Seth MacFarlane commented on Season 3 on Hulu, “We are working on it. We’re working on it very hard, we got hit by this just like everyone else but we’re working on it.” The new season will have 11 one-hour episodes.
I'VE GOT YOUR NUMBER---Amazon Studios movie underway based on the novel.
SALVAGE TITLE---sci fi movie underway based on the novels.
TRIVIA---Fernando Lamas and his wife, Arlene Dahl, co-starred in two dinosaur movies based on sci fi novels in which the movie dinosaurs were really live reptiles with parts glued to them to make them look prehistoric.
Lamas co-starred in THE LOST WORLD, based on the Arthur Conan Doyle novel, in which the dinosaurs were really lizards, Komodo dragons and crocodiles. KING KONG special effects legend Willis O'Brien was hired to do the stop-motion special effects, but his expensive dinosaur models were replaced by live reptiles because they were cheaper.
Dahl co-starred in JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH, based on the Jules Verne novel, in which the Dimetrodons were really Rhinoceros Iguanas with sail fins glued to their backs.

Would it be wrong of me to say she makes Thatcher sexy.

Gillian Anderson will always be too feminine, attractive and human to pull off playing an evil witch like Thatcher.
They shoulda just used CGI like they did with Gollum and had Andy Serkis play her in black body suit and light bulbs.[/endquote
So I'm still (fairly ) normal, then
