MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28
WESTWORLD---season finale trailer released.
Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYkW0HIDN5U
THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES---Anne Rice is developing a tv series based on her novels after the Universal Studios movie franchise was cancelled, "The theatrical rights to the Vampire Chronicles are once again in my hands, free and clear! I could not be more excited about this! — A television series of the highest quality is now my dream for Lestat, Louis, Armand, Marius and the entire tribe. In this the new Golden Age of television, such a series is THE way to let the entire story of the vampires unfold. — My son Christopher Rice and I will be developing a pilot script and a detailed outline for an open ended series, faithfully presenting Lestat’s story as it is told in the books, complete with the many situations that readers expect to see. We will likely begin with “The Vampire Lestat” and move on from there."
THE ALIENIST---Daniel Bruhl (CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR) and Luke Evans (THE HOBBIT) will star in the TNT series based on the novel about the hunt for a serial killer in 1896 New York.
Bruhl will play psychologist Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, and Evans will play reporter John Moore.
STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME---writer Steve Meerson said Eddie Murphy was supposed to play a Berkeley astrophysicist in the sequel, “It was always the same story that approved, but the original draft included a part for Eddie Murphy. Eddie was on the lot at Paramount at the time and arguably was the biggest star in the word. They had told us he was a huge Star Trek fan.”
Meerson said that after the deal fell through, Murphy was replaced by Catherine Hicks and the character was changed, “At the beginning of the process, it was actually a lot of fun. As the process progressed, it became less fun, because it became more political. And I don’t say that with any bitterness. It’s just the way things work in all businesses. We began to feel like at a certain point that this was going to be taken away from us, which in fact, it was.”
ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY---photo released of Jimmy Smits returning as Bail Organa.
SOLDADO---Jeffrey Donovan commented on the sequel to SICARIO, "The story picks up with the same male characters that were in SICARIO, which was Josh [Brolin] and Benicio [Del Toro]. Emily Blunt’s character is not in it, but my character, Forsing, is also brought back. It focuses on these three characters now, going down into Mexico to basically start a war, on purpose, between the rival Mexican cartels. There’s a bigger reason for it, but that’s the beginning of the movie.”
He added, “It’s more of a stand-alone spin-off. It’s not a sequel or a prequel. It really is yet another examination told from this male point of view, rather than from a female point of view. It’s pretty cool.”
TUNNEL 11---World War I horror movie stars Rossif Sutherland, son of Donald Sutherland, as a Canadian soldier assigned to tunnel into a German bunker and destroy the biological weapon inside.
GHOSTBUSTERS---Ivan Reitman commented on the franchise after the disappointing all-female remake, “There’s going to be many other Ghostbusters movies, they’re just in development right now.”
JAMES BOND---Roger Moore said he's receptive to an appearance in the franchise he starred in from 1973 to 1985, in order to, "expand the family coffers."
HEAVEN'S GATE---Isabelle Huppert commented on director Michael Cimino and his 1980 movie, “I loved him, of course. He was extraordinary, probably one of the greatest living American filmmakers… Basically he never really, deep inside, he never really got over it. But it was completely inspired. I went there for two months, and then we ended up being there, in Montana, for seven months.”
She also commented on Cimino's remastered version of the movie, “It was a bit weird for me, I have to say, because the colors were very different. You know, the colors of the original film were very [muted]. It was Vilmos Zsigmond, the great cameraman who passed away too, recently. And Michael and Vilmos didn’t get along so well. After the movie, Michael always thought that it was not the color he wanted. It was a bit sepia-like. And then Michael was very happy with the new [version].
When I first saw it, the green was so green, and the red was so red. It was very, very different from what I saw in the first place. But he was happy that he did it. I think he was happy, because also he was completely immersed in the film again by doing this, because it took him many weeks to do that version.”

"Star Trek IV: The One With the Whales" was bad enough as it was. It certainly didn't need Murphy to ruin it any further.

It's got some good jokes and an excellent score, but the film is whale poop. The more and mroe I think about the film, the more and more dreadful it is. Some of the moments for the crew, are down right embarrasing.

I love Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, but I can't agree about it aging better than Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
And I agree. Star Trek IV hasn't aged as well as ST II because it's set in the '80s, now thirty years in the past, and it plays like an '80s movie -- and not one of the better ones -- in other words, it now displays too many cornball elements.
ST II is far from a perfect movie and suffers from its limited budget and scope, but it still holds up amazingly well, whereas there's there's too much in ST IV that makes the eyes roll.
I also think ST: TMP is a better movie and has aged better than ST IV.
If I had Star Trek TMP, TWOK and Voyage Home in front of me and I was going to watch two movies, it would be TMP and Voyage Home. TWOK, as good as it is, has a creaky wooden stagey melodrama quality, I still like much of it, but TWOK has had it's reputation unjustly inflated against the other original movies over the past 30 years.
