GAME OF THRONES---HBO released a trailer for Episode 5.

Also, Emilia Clarke commented on rumors that a body double was used for her nude scene in the latest episode because she doesn't like doing nude scenes, "I'd like to remind people the last time I took my clothes off was season 3. That was awhile ago. It's now season 6. But this is all me, all proud, all strong. I'm just feeling genuinely happy I said 'Yes.' That ain't no body double!"

GODZILLA 2---director Gareth Edwards is not returning for the sequel to pursue other projects.

X-MEN:APOCALYPSE---a European source posted the sequel's post-credit sequence which hints at the next sequel's villain:
"We hear steps. The scene begins with a few serious-looking men in black suits, who enter Colonel Stryker's Weapon X facility, where Wolverine has caused a bloodbath earlier in the film. Unimpressed, the men walk past several bloodied corpses.
They reach a lab and one of the men extracts a blood-filled test tube (probably Wolverine's) from a laboratory cabinet, which reads Weapon X. The man opens a suitcase and carefully places the test tube in it, next to several other test tubes filled with liquids of different colors. He closes the suitcase and we see a name tag on it that reads "Essex Corp.". The End."
Bryan Singer said the next sequel is set in the 1990s and might be in outer space, "Another thing that's been introduced in the comics is a big alien, interstellar tenant within the X-Men universe that hasn't been explored. And to me, that might be kind of fun because I'm a huge Star Wars and Star Trek fan, and exploring the X-Men universe and being able to utilize that would be exciting, visually."

FANTASTIC FOUR 2---writer/producer Simon Kinberg said he wants to do a sequel to the ill-received movie, "We want to make another ‘Fantastic Four’ movie. We love that cast...Michael B Jordan and Miles Teller, and Kate [Mara] and Jamie [Bell] are great actors – we love that cast. I love the comic, I mean I love it almost as much as X-Men. We’re working really hard on figuring that out. Nothing would make me happier than the world embracing a ‘Fantastic Four’ movie. We’ll try to be truer to the essence of the tone of Fantastic Four, which is completely – well, not completely, but largely – distinct from the X-Men, which is brighter, funner, more optimistic tone."

BLACK PANTHER---Michael B. Jordan (CREED) joined the cast in an undisclosed role.

THE 12TH MAN---movie underway based on the World War II book about Norwegian Jan Baalsrud who lead a team of 11 other British-trained Norwegians to sabotage an air traffic control tower in Nazi-occupied Norway. The mission failed and Baalsrud was the sole survivor. Norwegian actor Thomas Gullestad will play Baalsrud, and Jonathan Rhys Meyer (THE TUDORS) will play German commander Kurt Stage. Harald Zwart (THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES) is the director.

THE BASE---Cam Gigadet (TWILIGHT) stars in this movie about military prisoners who combat a terrorist attack on their prison which is a cover for a secret drone control base.

WINCHESTER---Helen Mirren will star in this horror movie about Sarah Winchester, heiress to the Winchester firearms fortune, and her infamous Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California that is supposedly haunted.

SHERLOCK---Steven Moffat said Toby Jones will co-star in Episode 2, “Delighted to have Toby Jones on board, bringing to life one of Doyle’s finest villains.”

CBS---ordered legal series DOUBT which stars Katherine Heigl and Laverne Cox in which a lawyer at a top law firm falls in love with her client who may be guilty of a brutal crime.
A source said CBS has not officially cancelled LIMITLESS, but the series is "being shopped" to other networks.
CBS did not pick up the DREW, the Nancy Drew reboot series.

NBC---ordered THE BLACK LIST spinoff THE BLACKLIST: REDEMPTION starring Famke Janssen. The network cancelled MYSTERIES OF LAURA.

SALTY---Antonio Banderas stars in this comedy movie about an aging rock star/sex addict who must rescue his supermodel wife after she is kidnapped by pirates.

FOUR KIDS AND IT---Michael Caine and Bill Nighy star in this movie based on the children's novel.

BORG/McENROE---movie underway about the tumultuous rivalry between tennis stars John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg. Shia LaBeouf, Sverrir Gudnason and Stellan Skarsgard star.

MAFIYA---Daniel Bruhl stars in this 10-part tv series set after the collapse of the USSR and the ensuing battle between rival gangs to control the wealth and power of emerging Russia.

GOD FOUR---Courtney Jai, Michael Douglas and Natalie Dormer star in this movie about a documentary film maker who attends his ten-year college reunion and discovers a fellow rowing boat crew committed suicide. He then delves deeper into his senior year.

The shot looks weirdly digital. Some suggest she was not nude for the shoot and they digitally added her nude body in post.

How the hell do you stretch that premise out for anything longer than one season?

Good. I hope they get Ludwig Göransson on board as well.

Oh, good, more crappy new X-Files episodes. One good episode out of six, one or two mediocre, and the rest junk, and they want to make more of that. Yay.

I really like the movie LIMITLESS, and the series started out well, but it soon grew tiresome and I gave up on it.

I'm very glad to see that ELEMENTARY has been renewed yet again. Love that show.

2 BROKE GIRLS should have been cancelled. That show has really gone down the toilet.

THE BIG BANG THEORY is also getting old. I think it jumped the shark a few seasons ago.

Don't forget the inclusion of Joel McHale.

*shudder*

I really liked half of the new X-Files episodes (Founders Mutation, Were-Monster, and the finale) and only disliked one episode (Home Again).

For me, X-Files has always been hit or miss, even in its best seasons. "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" was surrounded by "Hell Money" and "Avatar." The real good ones have always been mixed with bad ones, and I think that's just the nature of semi-serialized shows with long seasons and rotating writing staff.

So I was a bit disappointed that this recent season wasn't Amazing, especially because it was so short, but I'd love to keep seeing more.
