INSIDIOUS: THE RED DOOR---new trailer released for the sequel.

THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD---Andy Muschietti (IT, THE FLASH) has been "confirmed with multiple sources" to direct the DC Studios Batman movie about Bruce Wayne training his son, Damian Wayne, to be Robin. Muschietti recently commented on directing a Batman movie, “I don’t think I can talk to that yet”.
NAPOLEON---photo released of Joaquin Phoenix starring in Ridley Scott's Napoleon Bonaparte biomovie.
THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER---Chris Hemsworth commented on criticism of the sequel that Taiki Waititi went too far with the humor, “I think we just had too much fun. It just became too silly. It’s always hard being in the center of it and having any real perspective…I love the process. It’s always a ride. But you just don’t know how people are going to respond."
Hemsworth said his son's friend were the best critics, “It’s a bunch of eight-year-olds critiquing my film. ‘We thought this one had too much humor, the action was cool, but the VFX weren’t as good’. I cringe and laugh equally at it.”
I AM SYBIL---Elle Fanning and Sarah Paulson will star in this movie based on the book SYBIL EXPOSED about the woman who claimed she had 16 personalities. The 1976 tv movie SYBIL starred Sally Field.
COMMUNITY---Joel McHale commented on the status of the movie spinoff of the tv series, "We had a shooting date coming up, which was going to be in the summer. And I think they were extremely close to – I mean, Dan [Harmon] is somebody that tweaks things but, obviously, that’s all stopped. But I think it was pretty darn close."
He added, "It was close, the shoot date was coming up, and we were all excited to do it, and then the writer’s strike happened, which obviously put everything on hold, and rightfully so. The writers are asking for very reasonable things. Writers need to be paid properly.”
CAPTAIN AMERICA---Marvel Studios announced the sequel title has been changed from CAPTAIN AMERICA: NEW WORLD ORDER to CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD.
THE LION KING---Walt Disney Pictures head Sean Bailey said a LION KING universe is underway that will be a “big, epic saga” similar to STAR WARS.
LAW & ORDER TORONTO: CRIMINAL INTENT---Canadian spinoff series is underway.
TRIVIA---June 6, 2023 is the 79th anniversary of D-Day, the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France in World War II.
EMPIRE magazine's poll picked SAVING PRIVATE RYAN's D-Day Omaha Beach scene as the best battle scene ever in motion picture history.
The 23-minute scene cost $12 million and involved 1,500 cast and crew members. Associate producer Mark Huffam said, "There was a massive team of 400 people involved, and that was just the crew. On top of that we had about 1,000 members of the FCA (Fórsa Cosanta Áitiúil --Irish Local Defense Force) and dozens of extras, many of whom were amputees so that we could make the war injuries look very realistic."
He added, "We had an amazing group of prosthetic engineers who made over 1,000 dummies that were so realistic it was incredible. They were so anatomically correct, down to the use of human hair on their heads, each one punched in individually. We really pushed technology and effects to their limits and beyond with PRIVATE RYAN. Normally in a war movie you buy a few gallons of fake blood to do it, but for Curracloe alone we were using 40 gallon drums of it, loads of them."
Huffam said, "It blew me away. It struck me with total fear. And that's what Spielberg wanted to achieve, not just for shock value, but to show what war was really like on those beaches."

1. SAVING PRIVATE RYAN---Omaha Beach

I havent seen all of these but two that would be on my list are:
Star Wars: The Last Battle (on the Death Star)
Glory: Charging Fort Wagner
I’ve seen all but Alexander and Brotherhood, but those two you mentioned are also good choices, Solium. Another great battle that sadly got overlooked is the Battle of Borodino from Bondarchuk’s War and Peace.
