A MONSTER CALLS---trailer released for the movie based on the children's book starring Liam Neeson, Felicity Jones and Sigourney Weaver.
Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMgm20Di9Wg
ALIEN 5---Sigourney Weaver gave additional information about Neill Blomkamp's movie which is a direct sequel to ALIENS and ignores ALIEN 3 and ALIEN: RESURRECTION, “It’s a great story and it’s satisfying to me to give this woman an ending… The script itself has so much in it that’s so original, but also really satisfies the, I would say, the primal needs of the aliens. It’s a tribute to all of the great work that the other directors have done, in a way, but goes in a completely new direction. I hope we’ll do it.”
She added, “Fox asked us to delay so Ridley could shoot his [second] Prometheus movie. That was too bad because we would have already done it by now. Now that we’re waiting for that, I have a couple of Avatars to do and Neill has The Gone World, so we’ll have to see what happens when we get back, when those projects are over.”
JOHN McTIERNAN---the director (DIE HARD, PREDATOR, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER) said he's a fan of the original MAD MAX movie, but said FURY ROAD was, "Pffff … corporate product."
He said about comic book movies, "Comic book heroes are for businesses... these are films made by fascists. Captain America…The cult of American hyper-masculinity is one of the worst things that has happened in the world during the last fifty years. Hundreds of thousands of people died because of this stupid illusion. So how is it possible to watch a movie called Captain America?"
THE MIST---Alyssa Sutherland (VIKINGS) will co-star in the Spike TV series based on the Stephen King novel.
THE GREATEST SHOWMAN ON EARTH---Zendaya is in negotiations to co-star with Hugh Jackman in this musical biomovie about PT Barnum.
POKEMON---Legendary Pictures is in early stages of developing a live action movie based on the video game.
DARKEST MINDS---20th Century Fox movie underway based on the young adult novel trilogy about a pandemic that kills most of the children and teenagers in America. The survivors have superpowers and are put in internment camps where some try to escape. Jennifer Yuh Nelson (KUNG FU PANDA 3) is the director.
SHOCK AND AWE---Woody Harrelson is in talks to star in this Rob Reiner movie about journalists investigating the claims of WMD before the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
X-MEN---Fox X-Men spinoff pilot about the parents of mutant children born with superpowers. They join an underground mutant network which resists the government's attempt to persecute them.
SAW: LEGACY---brothers Michael and Peter Spierig (DAYBREAKERS) will direct the latest sequel.
COMMUNITY---Dan Harmon commented on a theatrical movie based on the tv series, “If I pull out a typewriter right now and write a Community movie just from my own mind, then I have to go through the heartbreak and agony of finding out which of the people are going to show up to make it. Whereas, on the other hand, if I wait for everybody to line up and say, ‘We’re all out of work and ready to do a Community movie!’ well, I guess that’s a bad idea too.
It’ll make a great movie. It’ll happen. ”
IRVING---tv series underway based on the life of composer Irving Berlin.

Wow, yay - John McTiernan is alive! Haven`t heard anything from him for a long time. Disagree completely with his Fury Road comment, somewhat agree with his Captain America comment, though find no reason to make the association with the films. Perhaps in a world in which pro-American propaganda/sentiment feeds the malleability of the masses for the benefits of oligarchy, yes, I see how it contributes to that end. Some. But hardly to the extent that I condemn it, or decry it as without worth.
Besides, Captain America was conceived on the basis of solid, good ideals, humanitarian beliefs. Honest sentiments from idealistic artists. Allen Dulles (sign-of-the-cross) didn`t create him.

If it's as good as she says, (esp. ignoring 3 and Resurrection) I'd prefer it over any Prometheus project. Ever.
POKEMON---Legendary Pictures is in early stages of developing a live action movie based on the video game..
I've heard that a live action version of Pokémon is very popular in Jamaican prisons.

Ah! So this is where David in B got his "Pfff" running gag from!
