HALLOWEEN KILLS---Jamie Lee Curtis posted a photo of herself on the set with the caption, "NEVER SAY DIE! First day back in the battle for my life!"
DOCTOR SLEEP---poster released for THE SHINING sequel.
THE MATRIX 4---Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (AQUAMAN) will play an undisclosed lead role in the sequel starring Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss.
JOKER---Joaquin Phoenix commented on a possible sequel with director Todd Phillips, “You know, I wouldn’t have thought about this as my dream role. But now, honestly, I can’t stop thinking about it. I talked to Todd a lot about what else we might be able to do, in general, just to work together, but also specifically, if there’s something else we can do with Joker that might be interesting. So, it ended up being a dream role. It’s nothing that I really wanted to do prior to working on this movie.”
MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE---Brie Larson said she and other Marvel actresses have talked to Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige about an all-female movie, “I will say that a lot of the female cast members from Marvel walked up to Kevin and we were like, ‘We are in this together, we want to do this.' What that means, I have no idea. You know, I’m not in charge of the future of Marvel, but it is something that we’re really passionate about and we love and I feel like if enough people out in the world talk about how much they want it, maybe it’ll happen.”
GENDER BIAS---the Walt Disney Company will use a digital tool to analyze scripts for gender, LGBTQIA, race and disabilities bias. The tool, GD-IQ, was developed by Geena Davis's Institute on Gender in Media.
EVIL DEAD--Sam Raimi said a new EVIL DEAD project is underway with Bruce Campbell as a producer, “There’s more Evil Dead coming,” before explaining, "[Campbell is] tired of me throwing blood on him. Forty years of Bruce and those sticky syrup shirts... He wants to work again, but he just doesn’t want to play that role right now."
THE PRESIDENT'S PLANE IS MISSING---David Oyelowo will star in the Showtime pilot based on the novel by Bil Clinton and James Patterson.
THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT---Michiel Huisman (GAME OF THRONES) will co-stat with Kaley Cuoco in the HBO Max miniseries based on the novel.
THE GOOD HOUSE---Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Beverly D'Angelo and David Rasche will co-star with Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline in the movie based on the novel.
HELSTROM---Tom Austen and Sydney Lemmon will star in the Hulu/Marvel Studios tv series.
TRIVIA---on the 40th anniversary of Ridley Scott's classic ALIEN, a casting sheet dated March 22, 1978 was released listing the candidates for some of the Nostromo's crew.
Dallas (Tom Skerritt)---Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones, Martin Sheen, Scott Wilson, Sam Elliot and Cliff Robertson.

Dear lord, the rampant epic stupidity. No more Disney movies for me!

It's not meant to please everyone, it's meant to please the people who circle jerk each other over how progressive they are and think the people will still come and see their stuff anyway because they are Disney and have Borg'ed so many other things.

Ah ha! I always thought there was something Tracy Walterish about Stanton in ALIEN. 
And where is Jon Finch on this list of candidates? Wasn't he originally cast in either the Hurt or Holm role?

The definition of BIAS is: "prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair."
Not sure I can see the harm in looking for bias.
I just don't know how it can work or can hope to work or what the correct representation of every group of people would be or how that would be decided. There's nothing stopping Disney right now from reading scripts and deciding about them without use of computer programs. It seems like an announcement to make them look progressive but i guess time will tell to see what their output looks like and how that changes anything for them. But if it extended beyond Disney in the future, i think i would be worried.
Non-Disney films like Jaws, The Thing, Sorcerer, The Exorcist, the Godfather, Patton, Saving Private Ryan, Deathtrap, etc etc (think of 99% of films) as scripts would definitely come out as prejudiced for various reason and undergo rewrites "to correct them"? I don't know what the computer program is like, but i imagine its probably searching certain just certain words or terms?
Would biographical scripts get revised to fit a template, if your life doesn't have different sets of people in it? (although they're almost entirely made up these days anyway). How would historical stories work? Scott of the Antarctic? Waterloo?
"We like your script, but our computer program says its prejudicial against these 3 groups of people." I don't like the idea that it's basically accusing a writer of prejudices because it hasn't hit the targets of an unknown and arbitrary quota that a story should now have to fill. Not a good future. It seems like a tool that will easily used to restrict creativity and storytelling, and could also be used to make entirely innocent people look like bigots.
They should just pay readers more, rush them less and make better decisions.
*Native Americans still won't get any representation*
Wow, i panicked there. Let's revisit this in ten years and forget about it till then. I'm sure it was sumthin' aboot nuthin'

--------------------------------------
The Universe itself is biased.
Get over it.
------------------------------------------
Actually, the universe is built on balance. Bias is a mental state. It sounds like you benefit from it based on your nonchalant acceptance of it and garbage attitude about trying to deal with the issue.
At the end of the day, I can't see an algorithm doing a damn thing that intelligent people can't. It's not a fuel formula we're talking about, they're stories.
------------------------------------------
Balance, huh? The Universe doesn't care about you in any shape, manner, or form. If an asteroid hits, it won't spare the Regressives. Neither will cancer or Ebola or the Flu...

The universe has a balance that has been struck over time, but as a whole it is not balanced and as it is we don't know a whole hell of a lot about it.
And there's bias, there's perceived bias, then there is made up bias that people feed into a machine to detect said made up bias.

Oh no, he can't, because most keyboards (that I've seen) are black-color coated, so obviously he'd have to be a racist to dare press them. ;-)
I seriously hope some other studio steps up, replaced Disney, then Disney gets gobbled up by them.
