MONDAY, MAY 23
STAR TREK BEYOND---new trailer released for the sequel.
Also, JJ Abrams said STAR TREK BEYOND director Justin Lin persuaded Paramount Pictures to drop its infringement lawsuit against the fan-funded movie STAR TREK: AXANAR, "Fans of Star Trek are part of this world. So he went to the studio and pushed them to stop this lawsuit and now, within the next few weeks, it will be announced this is going away, and that fans would be able to continue working on their project”

GAME OF THRONES---a British tabloid said it was told by a senior HBO executive that Kit Harington is in "exploratory talks" to star in a Jon Snow spin-off series, "Any spin-off built around Jon Snow, who is hugely popular with fans, would also undoubtedly involve other characters from the cast. When the seventh season wraps next year, it's going to be a case of figuring out who we want to join us for a new show and which of those cast members actually want to jump on board."
STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII---a supposed leaked video shows the movie's teaser poster which contains the movie's official title: STAR WARS: FALL OF THE RESISTANCE. The authenticity of the video hasn't been confirmed.
Also, a source said Frank Oz will provide voiceovers for the movie, but is "not on hand for anything visual".

ALIEN: COVENANT---a British tabloid released leaked photos from the film set in Sydney, Australia, "The pictures were snapped at a quarry in the New South Wales capital on Thursday and show dramatic scenes of scorched human bodies twisted in despair and some being attacked by extra-terrestrial beings, similar to those from the Alien film series."
DUNKIRK---film set photos released from the Christopher Nolan/Warner Bros. World War II movie about the evacuation of Allied soldiers from Dunkirk during the Nazi conquest of France. The movie is being filmed on location in Dunkirk. Jack Lowden, Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance and Cillian Murphy star.
THOR: RAGNAROK---Jeff Goldblum and Karl Urban have joined the sequel's cast. Goldblum will play Grandmaster, and Urban will play Skurge.
JAMES BOND---Gillian Anderson posted her reply to an online fan campaign and poster that promotes Anderson to replace Daniel Craig as the next 007, "It's Bond. Jane Bond. Thanks for all the votes! (And sorry, don't know who made poster but I love it!) #NextBond,"
THE PREDATOR---Shane Black gave additional comments on the sequel, "I think ideally we are endeavoring to get back to what [producers] Joel Silver and John Davis managed to pull off with [director] John McTiernan. Now that said, I don't wanna make it huge. It's not about 50 predators [running] over the mountain. But short of the armada scenes that don't help the film, I think that having a sense of event-izing [the movie], making it feel fresh like that first movie, is gonna be helpful. I'm not going to predict success for this [new 'Predator' movie], but I'd love to give it the opportunity to be that ambitious so that it aspires to ultimately be the serious summer movie that 'Alien' was back in the day."
He said about Arnold Schwarzenegger possibly returning, "There's one of two ways we can go. We use Schwarzenegger or we don't. And there's advantages to using him and there's a story to be told if we don't, and I'm not going to tell you which one we chose, but we made a choice that I think is cool and we'll see what happens."
Black also worked on a fifth LETHAL WEAPON movie, "I wrote a 62-page treatment with my friend Chuck for “Lethal Weapon 5” that would've been...a very good movie...It was essentially an older Riggs and Murtagh in New York City during the worst blizzard in east coast history, fighting a team of expert Blackwater guys from Afghanistan that's smuggling antiquities. And we had a young character that actually counter-pointed them. But I didn't wanna do what people do when they're trying to transition which is, they sorta put the two older guys in the movie, but really it's about their son! And he's gonna take over and we're gonna do a spinoff. F*ck that, if they're gonna be in the movie, they're gonna be in the movie — I don't care how old they are."
SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING---Vincent D'Onofrio denied rumors that The Kingpin, his villain from DAREDEVIL, will appear in the reboot movie, "Sorry folks but this is news to me. It would be great but I don't think it will happen. V."
FARGO---Ewan McGregor will play two characters in Season 3, brothers Emmit and Ray Stussy. “Emmit Stussy is the Parking Lot King of Minnesota. A handsome, self-made, real estate mogul and family man, Emmit sees himself as an American success story. His slightly younger brother, Ray Stussy, on the other hand is more of a cautionary tale. Balding, pot-bellied, Ray is the kind of guy who peaked in high school. Now a parole officer, Ray has a huge chip on his shoulder about the hand he’s been dealt, and he blames his brother, Emmit, for his misfortunes.”
DREDD---Karl Urban explained the movie's failure, "DREDD represented a failure in marketing. I saw the tracking of that film weeks before it came out and the fundamental problem was no one knew it was being released. Once it came out on DVD and it sold 750,000 copies in the first week alone in North America alone, it was very clear that the audience had discovered it."
MARVEL'S IRON FIST---Carrie-Anne Moss has joined cast as lawyer Jeri Hogarth, her character from MARVEL'S JESSICA JONES.
DAMIEN---A&E cancelled the horror series.

Mr. Jack and Solium, that may all be true, but the poster made the statement that the unaltered OT was unavailable on Home Video. That is simply an untrue statement. (Yes, I know those 2-disc releases are technically OOP now too, but they are still quite easy to find and affordable.)
Yes, I agree with the correction. They exist commercially on DVD. I was just piling on they look awful bandwagon. All that said, I'll hold onto the DVD's until the original uncut versions are remastered in HD.
That may never happen. A 2K or 4k scan of the original negatives that produced the prints people saw in the '70s and '80s would only better bring out the flaws in the SFXs from the era that George Lucas doesn't want anyone to see anymore. I believe he's been quite firm about it.
For me, I'm glad I'm not that crazy about the Star Wars films, but I do feel sorry for those fans that want to revisit their youth. I know if the situation was the same with the '68 Planet of the Apes, I'd be miserable.
