TUESDAY, MAY 30
STAR WARS---Mark Hamill commented on if he might return as a Force ghost in the upcoming movie starring Daisy Ridley, “Everything is confidential. So, if I were involved, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. And if I were not involved, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. So, I don’t know. We’ll all find out together, I guess...No, I don’t have any expectations of that happening."
SUCCESSION---Stephen King tweeted his reply to a NEW YORK TIMES article about the end of the HBO series titled, "Succession is Over: Why Did We Care?"
STREAMING PLATFORMS---Quentin Tarantino commented on movies that are made by streaming platforms, "I like the idea of giving it my all for 30 years and then saying, 'OK, that's enough.’ And I don't like working to diminishing returns. And I mean, now is a good time because I mean, what even is a motion picture anyway anymore? Is it just something that they show on Apple? That would be diminishing returns.
I mean, and I’m not picking on anybody, but apparently for Netflix, Ryan Reynolds has made $50 million on this movie and $50 million on that movie and $50 million on the next movie for them. I don’t know what any of those movies are. I’ve never seen them. Have you? I haven’t ever talked to Ryan Reynolds’ agent, but his agent is like, "Well, it cost $50 million." Well, good for him that he’s making so much money. But those movies don’t exist in the zeitgeist. It’s almost like they don’t even exist.”
AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.---Chloe Bennet commented on rumors she is returning as Daisy Johnson in a new Marvel Studios project, "Of course. Of course, I would be open to it. Listen, there's a lot of stuff around that. I so deeply love S.H.I.E.L.D.'s fans because it's this tenacity that got the show on air to begin with. I have not once been approached or asked or involved in anything after I wrapped S.H.I.E.L.D. And I am not involved in anything that is coming out. I've not been asked, but I would be more than excited to put on the suit again. And, of course, of course, Daisy is a big part of who I am. So I would love to, but I have not been communicated [with] about it."
EXTRACTION---director Sam Hargrave said a third movie is being discussed, “We’re kind of waiting to see how the second movie is received. Fingers crossed, if people enjoy the second one, there already is – and this is without spoiling anything – but there is a story in development for a third movie in the works. What it is exactly, I can’t say right now, but I believe there is another adventure in the wind for Tyler Rake.”
ONE PIECE---poster released for the Netflix live-action tv series based on the anime.
JESUS---Martin Scorsese met Pope Francis at a Vatican conference, The Global Aesthetics of the Catholic Imagination, and then announced plans for his next movie, "I have responded to the Pope’s appeal to artists in the only way I know how: by imagining and writing a screenplay for a film about Jesus, and I’m about to start making it.”
THE EXPENDABLES 4---Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed he is not returning for the latest sequel, “It’s done and I’m not in it." He added that he spoke to Sylvester Stallone about not returning, “I said, ‘You know what, we have done this and I’m out of it.’ And he really understood.”
TRIVIA---more James Bond movie trivia.
The original CASINO ROYALE is the only James Bond movie to date that had two US Billboard Top 40 hits. "The Look of Love" sung by Dusty Springfield reached #4 and was nominated for an Academy Award. The "Casino Royale" title theme by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass reached #27.

Once again a Hollywood old-timer speaking, but not in a coherent way.
