MONDAY, JANUARY 18
SPIDER-MAN 3---photo of Tom Holland on the Atlanta film set shows the sequel is set during Christmas. Also, Charlie Cox was seen on the film set at a different time.
GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE---new sequel photo shows Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Logan Kim.
GALAXY QUEST---Tim Allen commented on the proposed sequel to the 1999 STAR TREK parody movie, “It’s a fabulous script, but it had a hiccup because the wonderful Alan Rickman passed. So it all got very sad and dark because [the script] was all about [Lazrus] and Taggart. It was all about their story. It doesn’t mean they can’t reboot the idea, and the underlying story was hysterical and fun.
I haven’t reached out to anybody in the last week, but we talk about it all the time. There is constantly a little flicker of a butane torch that we could reboot it with. Without giving too much away, a member of Alan [Rickman]’s GALAXY QUEST family could step in and the idea would still work.”
He added, “[The sequel] could happen now or in five years and it doesn’t matter at all because when you travel at light speed when you come back it can be like only 20 minutes, but 20 years have passed, right? That part is wonderful for the sci-fi freak in me. But right now it’s in a holding pattern.”
MOON KNIGHT---Ethan Hawke will play the unidentified main villain in the Disney+/Marvel tv series starring Oscar Isaac.
THE MATRIX 4---Gina Torres, who starred in the original trilogy, wondered how characters killed off, like Neo and Trinity, are returning for the sequel, "Not to be bitter or anything, but the people that are actually in the movie, I believe, died. And the people that aren't didn't. So that's all I have to say about that. I'm so curious about where they're going with this. And what's their jumping off point and what story they want because it just felt like they told it."
THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER---Matt Damon is in Sydney, Australia to join the sequel cast.
MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD---a Twitter comment said the 2003 Russell Crowe movie is boring drew a rebuke from Crowe. The original tweet said, "Lots of folk complaining about lack of sleep during the Pandemic. May I recommend Master And Commander starring the usually captivating, attention-grabbing Russell Crowe. I've never made it past the ten minute mark. You're welcome. And thanks Russell."
Crowe responded, "That's the problem with kids these days. No focus. Peter Weirs film is brilliant. An exacting, detail oriented, epic tale of fidelity to Empire & service, regardless of the cost. Incredible cinematography by Russell Boyd & a majestic soundtrack. Definitely an adults movie."
MORTAL KOMBAT---synopsis released for the movie's main character, Cole Young (Lewis Tan), “MMA fighter Cole Young, accustomed to taking a beating for money, is unaware of his heritage—or why Outworld’s Emperor Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down. Fearing for his family’s safety, Cole goes in search of Sonya Blade at the direction of Jax, a Special Forces Major who bears the same strange dragon marking Cole was born with. Soon, he finds himself at the temple of Lord Raiden, an Elder God and the protector of Earthrealm, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark. Here, Cole trains with experienced warriors Liu Kang, Kung Lao and rogue mercenary Kano, as he prepares to stand with Earth’s greatest champions against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe. But will Cole be pushed hard enough to unlock his arcana—the immense power from within his soul—in time to save not only his family, but to stop Outworld once and for all?”
BLADE RUNNER 2049---Jared Leto said he would like to return as Niander Wallace, "...it would be kind of nice to go back and explore other [characters]. Like Niander Wallace in BLADE RUNNER, I would love to play that part again as a prequel or something."
DUNGEONS & DRAGONS---Hasbro is developing a tv series based on the game with Derek Kolstad (JOHN WICK) as the writer. The tv series might be in the same universe as the Paramount Pictures movie.
TRIVIA---more James Bond movie trivia.
The theme for YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE was written by John Barry with lyrics by Leslie Bricusse. It was originally recorded by British singing star Julie Rogers, "This came at the height of my recording career in 1967. I just had three number one hit records worldwide. I recorded the song at Universal Studios with a 50-piece orchestra and John Barry. And to me, that was it, I'd done the theme."
However, the producers were unhappy with her version, and the song was rewritten by Barry and Bricusse with Nancy Sinatra replacing Rogers. Barry said, "It was usually the producers that said 'this isn't working, there's a certain something that it needed'. If that energy wasn't there, if that mysterioso kind of thing wasn't there, then it wasn't going to work for the movie...Cubby Broccoli was a friend of Frank Sinatra's. So he phoned him up and said we'd love you to sing the song in the movie. But Frank said no, he didn't want to do it, but my daughter is really good! Have Nancy do it."
Rogers said about her version being rejected in favor of Nancy Sinatra's, "I saw the movie and sat there and cried. Anybody would! It was such a wonderful opportunity that just fizzled away for me."
British singing star Julie Rogers recorded the first version of "You Only Live Twice".

After the Julie Rogers version was rejected, the song was rewritten by John Barry and recorded by Nancy Sinatra.

Good on Russell Crowe - I would LOVE to see more Master & Commander, because it was a damn fine film.
With you on that one, War. The only duff note for me was the casting of Stephen Maturin. Paul Bettany would certainly have convinced anyone who hadn’t read the glorious series of books, but he matched Patrick O’ Brian’s description of the naval surgeon about as well as Tom Cruise matched Jack Reacher. Which is to say, not in the slightest.
But that apart M&C was as good an attempt at a filmic version of the novels as you could imagine. Very sad that it stopped at just the one. Fantastic score as well.

But is it a better Star Trek movie than Galaxy Quest?
