PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN---writer Stuart Beattie appears to be confirming that Johnny Depp will not be returning for the franchise reboot, "I think he's had a great run. Obviously, he's made that character his own and it's become the character he's most famous for now. And kids all over the world love him as that character so I think it's been great for him, it's been great for us, so I'm just very, very happy about it."

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA---producer Adi Shankar is reportedly in negotiations to develop a tv series based on the video game.
TRIVIA---more Halloween monster movie trivia.
The ABC tv movie THE NIGHT STALKER was the most-watched tv movie in history when it aired in 1972. The movie had newspaper reporter Carl Kolchak battling bloodthirsty vampire Janos Skorzeny as he preyed on Las Vegas women. Writer Richard Matheson reportedly got the vampire's name from famed Nazi commando Otto Skorzeny, who freed Italian dictator Benito Mussolini in a daring raid on a mountaintop prison and led German troops disguised as American soldiers in The Battle of the Bulge.
In THE NIGHT STALKER, newspaper reporter Carl Kolchak tries to save Las Vegas from bloodthirsty vampire Janos Skorzeny.
Writer Richard Mathson reportedly got Janos Skorzeny's name from Nazi commando Otto Skorzeny, who freed Italian dictator Benito Mussolini from a ski resort high in the Apennine Mountains. Mussolini was guarded by 200 military policemen and was freed without a shot being fired.
Adolf Hitler bestowed the Knight's Cross, Germany's highest military honor, on Skorzeny for freeing Mussolini.
In Operation Greif, Skorzeny led German soldiers disguised as GIs to infiltrate American lines on a mission of sabotage and disorder in the Battle of the Bulge. This photo shows a knocked out Operation Grief Panther tank disguised as a US M10 tank destroyer.
Ironically, in the 1960s Skorzeny worked for Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, and reportedly assassinated a former Nazi rocket scientist working for Egypt.
PS---on another FSM thread, someone posted about me: "Yeah, would have been nice to supply the title. I guess Mr. Trivial wanted everyone to either ask or check his clues, so it's probably this--
The Wide World of Mystery (1973) "Distant Early Warning"
My reply: well, anyone questioning my motives about posting the Movie/TV News and trying to get people to ask me questions about movies or tv because I see myself as the God of Movie/TV Information is going to be disappointed. As I posted here before, most of Hollywood's movies are superhero/comic book movies, etc. and I don't read comic books or watch superhero movies. I've never seen a GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, AVENGERS, THOR, DEADPOOL, BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN or BATMAN V vs. MAYTAG REPAIRMAN movie (I've seen maybe 3-4 superhero movies in my entire life).
Anyone of my lackies asking me, the supposed Movie/TV News Czar, about tv info is also going to be disappointed, I haven't watched network tv since LOST went off the air. I have never been part of cable, satellite, etc., so I have never seen THE SOPRANOS, THE WALKING DEAD, etc.
As I've said before, most of the Movie/TV News bores me (remakes, reboots, revivals, prequels, sequels), and I'm somewhat interested in the trivia, which is why I added it this year.
As for the "clues", I don't have a clue (no pun intended) as to what supposed clues I post on the Movie/TV News.
I have no ulterior motives in posting the Movie/TV News, which I've been doing on and off since 2005---except to help other posters.
"The End"

BOBA FETT---Lucasfilm sources say the cancelled Boba Fett movie would have focused on Boba Fett and the group of bounty hunters in the scene of them on the Super Star Destroyer in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. The sources said THE MANDALORIAN tv series will not feature Boba Fett.
Boba Fett is dead and you made sure we knew it was dead, yet you're still going on about the Boba Fett movie you're never going to make. Boba Fett is dead but never mind we're making a new series with some character that looks just like Boba Fett. But don't worry Boba Fett won't appear in the series. Boba Fett is dead.
On a side note thank gawd you're not making a Bob Fett movie, since you seem to be going down the same horrible path as Solo.
FYI, in the excellent initial computer game Knights Of The Old Republic, some of the lore of Mandalor was featured. Some of the Jedi chose to fight against the Mandalorian Empire, a warlike race priding themselves on violence. They won that war, and the Mandalorian race was decimated. Boba Fett`s armour and helmet are Mandalorian... so to see that set of equipment on someone else is wholly reasonable, if not rare.
The quoted statement by Lucasfilm sources would seem to be merely an informative offering, not a marketting bit of hype on a dead project. As for the The Mandalorian, if it is as smart and fun as Rogue One, The Last Jedi, or The Force Awakens, I`m in. I`m looking forward to it (but *not* on an exclusive Disney channel... on bluray...).

I really don't know anything about the Star Wars lore outside of the movies. I just liked it better when Boba Fett was a lone bounty hunter with his own custom gear. Of course that got tossed out the window with Attack of the Clones.

Duane Johnson makes 5-6 feature films a year and a tv series?
No wonder he doesn't have time to listen to Blake Neely ARROW music!
