TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6

THE WALKING DEAD---midseason trailer released.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM1zFKeEDps



Rick Grimes' last episode had a slight ratings increase with 5.4 million viewers compared to 5.1 million viewers for the previous episode.
Now that he has left the series, Andrew Lincoln said that Glenn's gory death was a big mistake," I regret the manner in which it happened. We’ve been able to terrify people in film for 100 years without having to show an eyeball. When that happens, it diminishes what we’re trying to make, which in my mind’s eye is a family drama set in hell. It’s not a sort of B-movie gorefest."
He added, "I don’t discredit that. It’s part of the thrills and spills of the show. But when we’re dealing with losing somebody — and a very brutal, human kind of death — I think it’s just taste. My taste is, I think it would be more disturbing just keeping the camera on Maggie’s face [Glenn’s wife, played by Lauren Cohan]. And maybe that’s why I want to direct, because I want to make what I’ve been filming in my head."
Showrunner Angela Kang explained why Carl was not in Rick Grimes' last episode, “We dove into this idea of the ‘third man phenomenon.’ When people are close to death, sometimes they imagine seeing somebody that they knew or that they don’t know that helped drive them to survive and keep them going. We had these three particular characters [Shane, Hershel and Sasha] who are sort of filling an emotional need for him in the moment, but Rick’s entire journey is looking for his family, and I felt, creatively felt, that if he sees Lori or Carl he would feel like, ‘OK, I fulfilled my mission. I found them. I’m home. I can lay down and die now.’”
She continued, “He needed to keep going for the family that is still there, and so to have that kind of restlessness of like, ‘I still haven’t found them. Where are they? Where are they?’ bringing him back to realizing his family has always been there all along - that the people he’s fighting for now are still his family - that’s what keeps him going. So he can’t find them, otherwise it’d be too easy for him to give up.”
Also, Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride signed new deals. Reedus will earn $350,000 per episode. No details were known about McBride's deal.





DEADWOOD---HBO released a synopsis for the sequel movie, "The indelible characters of the series are reunited after ten years to celebrate South Dakota’s statehood. Former rivalries are reignited, alliances are tested and old wounds are reopened, as all are left to navigate the inevitable changes that modernity and time have wrought."
Ian McShane, Timothy Olyphant, John Hawkes, Paula Malcolmson, Brad Dourif, Molly Parker, Robin Reigert, Kim Dickens and other members of the original cast are returning.





STAR WARS: EPISODE IX---Adam Driver replied to what is most interesting about playing Kylo Ren, "That’s hard to say because we’re working toward something in particular with that character. I don’t want to give anything away."

HELLBOY---Thomas Haden Church will reportedly play Lobster Johnson in the reboot movie.

WILLY WONKA---prequel movie about the early life of Willy Wonka is underway. Paul King (PADDINGTON) is in negotiations to direct. PADDINGTON 3 is underway, but King probably won't be returning as director.

ONCE UPON A DEADPOOL---PG-13 version of DEADPOOL 2 will have a limited run in theaters from December 12-24.

HARRY HAFT---Ben Foster stars in this Barry Levinson movie based on the true story of professional boxer Harry Haft who survived the Auschwitz concentration camp by boxing other inmates. The winner would live and the losers were executed by the Nazis.

SWAMP THING---Will Patton (HALLOWEEN) will play ruthless tycoon Avery Sutherland in the DC Universe pilot.

LOU---Allison Janey will star in this movie about a young woman and her landlord who team up to rescue her daughter who was kidnapped by her estranged husband.

GREEN KNIGHT---medieval movie underway about Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. David Lowery (A GHOST STORY) is the director.

KING OF STING---Fox tv series underway about Carlos Sagastume, an illegal immigrant who became the DEA's best undercover operative.

TRIVIA--while filming CAT BALLOU, the relationship between stars Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin was less than ideal and worsened when Fonda's husband, French director Roger Vadim, visited the set. Vadim wrote in his memoir, BARDOT, DENEUVE, FONDA, "When he was drunk, he would tell me that he hated the French. 'But,' he would add, 'I like you because you're half Russian, even though I hate Russians also.'"

In CAT BALLOU, stars Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin had a less than ideal relationship, and it worsened when her husband, French director Roger Vadim, visited the set.





Vadim directs Fonda in BARBARELLA.

They should have rephrased the "question": "In the two films so far, what has been the most interesting thing about playing Soylo Ren?"

The "question" was most likely a set up to stoke interest for the next two-hour merchandise ad.

My marketing theory for "trilogies" goes like this-

First film- Hype will sell the first film.
Second film- Promise to correct issues from first film will be addressed.
Third film- Well you made it this far you might as well see how it all ends!
