TUESDAY, JANUARY 9
BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE---Russell Crowe and Dakota Johnson will co-star with Chris Hemsworth and Jeff Bridges in the 1960s noir thriller set in a Lake Tahoe hotel. Drew Goddard (CABIN IN THE WOODS) is the writer/director.
SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY---a source said Ron Howard will direct additional reshoots at the end of January through early February. Reportedly, Howard had to reshoot 80% of the movie.
ALIEN---Ridley Scott commented on if Walt Disney Pictures should continue the ALIEN franchise after buying 20th Century Fox, “I think they should because I think, when people have a hard and fast franchise which has ongoing interest, it’s crazy not to do something with it.”
He added, “I think it’s great. I think it’s very good for Disney. Of all the studios they’re far ahead of their game for having a prepared, thought through demographic for the kind of films they’re making – for who they’re making them for. That’s why they’re so successful. And they draw the line at anything that crosses PG-13… [If] they find that they’re so successful with that that they want to cross the line and do something a little darker, and if they do that, do they want to do that under Disney or do they want to do that under the Fox banner? I think there’s a business plan afoot definitely.”
THE BATMAN---Gary Oldman commented on who should play Batman if Ben Affleck doesn't return, “I would like to see someone like Joaquin Phoenix play it. This is no disrespect to Ben Affleck. I think it really depends on who is at the wheel that lifts it.”
SHAZAM!---Zachary Levi wants Gal Gadot for a Wonder Woman cameo in SHAZAM!, “I think getting a cameo from anybody would be super cool, but I just think Gal Gadot is so effervescent. She has such a charm. And she seems like a really cool broad. Like, she was in the Israeli army. She’s a mom. And I’m like, ‘You seem like you’re grounded and cool, and you’re Wonder Woman, and you rock,’ and I think it would be really funny to have the 14-year-old Billy Batson inside of Shazam that’s really awkward around this beautiful Amazonian. I just think that would be really awesome.”
SUICIDE SQUAD---David Ayer commented on the negative criticism SUICIDE SQUAD received, “It was s–t. Yeah, it was s–t reviews. I got my throat cut. It was a super polarizing movie. Incredibly polarizing. It’s like going to the boxing ring and getting knocked out is how it felt. And I had to go into the ring again. And directing is a confidence game, because you’re selling everyone on something that only exists in your head. The actors have to feel that confidence to trust that you know what you’re doing, and so does your crew. As a director, you set the tone. Really, it’s coming off that movie, I understood the pitfalls, I understood the dangers, I knew where the alligators hide, you know? And so I made damn sure I didn’t repeat any mistakes.”
MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.---ABC head Channing Dungey commented on if the series will renewed for Season 6, "I would say I’m cautiously optimistic. It’s always hard at this point in January to know because some of it is also dependent on your new development and how you feel about those things, so that’s why it’s really hard at the top of the year to know exactly what’s going to happen."
THE OFFICE---Jenna Fischer commented on if she's been contacted about returning for the ABC revival series, "I don’t know anything about THE OFFICE revival. I know as much as everyone else. But no. I think that’s for networks to figure out if I were to be asked. But I haven’t been approached about it.”
MARILYN 1962---ten-part miniseries underway based on the novel about Marilyn Monroe's last year of life as seen from the perspective of 12 members of her entourage including her publicist and her controversial doctor. Marianne Maddalena (SCREAM) is the producer.
TRIVIA---in the Vietnam War movie FLIGHT OF THE INTRUDER, director John Milius chose his friend Ed O'Neill (MARRIED...WITH CHILDREN) to play the JAG prosecutor in the dramatic court martial scene. When the test audience saw O'Neill appear, they howled with laughter because they saw henpecked loser Al Bundy instead of the JAG prosecutor. The role was then recast with Fred Dalton Thompson who played the head district attorney in LAW & ORDER.
A Paramount Pictures source said, "He's so recognized with the comedy series that marketing research screenings played weirdly. When he came on screen the audiences laughed at him, even though he was playing a serious role as a Navy captain presiding over a court-martial hearing. They had to recast the role after the film was shot."
O'Neill said, "People had no idea I was in it. As soon as they see me, it's Al Bundy in the Army. They crack up. The setup was insane."

Haha. Great Al Bundy story. I loved that show.
I believe he was in an early MIAMI VICE ep playing an undercover cop.
Might have been his last dramatic role.

I like Han, but I'd rather have a Yoda or Kenobi movie.
Napoleon even better.
