MONDAY, MARCH 30

WESTWORLD---trailer released for the next episode.

LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCO2lWqmNt8



HAIL MARY---Ryan Gosling will star in this sci fi movie based on the upcoming novel by Andy Weir (THE MARTIAN) in which a lone astronaut must save Earth.





DRAGON'S LAIR---Ryan Reynolds is in talks to star in this Netflix live-action movie based on the 1980s arcade game about knight Dirk the Daring who must rescue Princess Daphne from the evil wizard Murdroc and the dragon Singe.





THE MANDALORIAN---artist concept shows Michael Biehn's bounty hunter character.





POSSESSOR---Brandon Cronenberg, son of David Cronenberg, is the writer/director of this sci fi movie about a secret organization that uses brain implant technology which allows people to inhabit other people's bodies and become highly-paid assassins. Andrea Riseborough and Christopher Abbott star.

HOBBS & SHAW 2---Dwayne Johnson confirmed the sequel is underway, "We are developing now the next film, the next movie, and I'm pretty excited about it...Just gotta figure out the creative right now, and the direction we’re going to go."

STAR TREK: PICARD---Brent Spiner said he will not be returning as Data, “I mean, there was just a finite amount of time that I can actually play Data, no matter what anyone says. So many people were like, ‘Oh, you can do it. You’re not too old,’ and then I do it and they go, ‘You’re too old. Why’d you do it?’ I think we did it in such brief sequences that it was fine to do it, and I felt good about it. But I wouldn’t really entertain the idea of doing it again because I just don’t think it would be realistic. So it seemed right to me to give him this more gentle sendoff, and it seemed right to me in the context of the entire season of Picard and what Picard himself had been experiencing because of the loss of Data. I think it allows him to feel okay about it too. So it seemed like the right thing to do.”

THE BATMAN---John Turturro commented on playing villain Carmine Falcone, “I’m playing the bad guy. I loved Batman growing up, but I’m really a Zorro fan [Laughs]. So there’s no Batman without Zorro. When I was 5 years old, I thought I was Zorro with a sword. I had a stick that I hit my father with all the time. Then, when Batman came on TV, it was a big thrill. I read some of the comics. My sons always read DC comics. So I played with those for years. I like Matt Reeves, the director. It’s an interesting cast.”

HELLBOY---David Harbour blamed the reboot movie's failure on fans who are loyal to Guillermo del Toro, “I think it failed before we began shooting because I think that people didn’t want us to make the movie and for some reason there was like a big… Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman created this iconic thing that we thought could be reinvented and then they certainly – the loudness of the internet was like, ‘We do not want you to touch this.’ And then we made a movie that I think is fun and I think had its problems but was a fun movie and then people were just very very against it and that’s people’s right but I learned my lesson in a lot of different way.”

NETFLIX---Netflix renewed CASTLEVANIA for Season 4 and LOCKE & KEY for Season 2.

TRIVIA---more James Bond movie trivia.
THE PINK PANTHER STRIKES AGAIN, the fourth in the movie series, was a James Bond movie parody. Writer/director Blake Edwards wanted a British secret agent named James to attempt to assassinate the bumbling Chief Inspector Clouseau and hoped to get Sean Connery or Roger Moore for the role. When that was unsuccessful, Edwards got Omar Sharif to play the Egyptian assassin in an uncredited cameo.

THE PINK PANTHER STRIKES AGAIN was originally supposed to be a James Bond movie parody with Sean Connery or Roger Moore playing a British secret agent named James, who is assigned to kill bumbling Chief Inspector Clouseau.




After efforts to get Connery and Moore were unsuccessful, Omar Sharif played the Egyptian assassin in an uncredited cameo.




The Egyptian assassin failed to kill Clouseau, but he did have sex with Soviet assassin Olga Bariosova (Lesley-Anne Down).

Harbour is wrong about Hellboy. The script was bad and the film itself was bad. He wasn't too bad as a new Hellboy though his character was reduced to a one note moody whine. It wasn't just different, it was worse.

Hobbs & Shaw was awful. Like a five year old wrote it. There'll probably be ten of them.

That is extremely interesting tidbit on The Pink Panther Strikes Again. I loved Sharif in it but having 007 trying to kill Clouseau would have been sublime.

BTW, Strikes Again is to me, by far, the most ribald, LOL inducing film of the series. In fact, the Clouseau vs Cato fight scene in the apartment had more laughs in it than most comedies do in an entire film.

'Relax...I'll get it".

I’m kinda disappointed that this won’t be an animated film after the Indiegogo campaign Don Bluth successfully held a few years ago (is he even going to be involved?).

The oktoberfest is a hilarious set piece.
Especially the 2 assassins in the toilet cubicles and Clouseau groping for toilet roll. Genius. big grin

And I wonder how much of that "reaching out" was part of Moore playing that bit part in the later Pink Panther movie (which one escapes me at the moment)

I absolutely loved Don Bluth’s video games, Dragons Lair and Space Ace. ( I actually like Space Ace even more) One time I spent so much money playing Space Ace in a bowling alley I didn’t have enough gas money to get home!

I missed out on the Indeigogo campaign so never saw the proof of concept. I do know they really wanted it to be a 2D animated film. They would’ve settled for a 3D animated film if push comes to shove. Hearing of a live action adaptation is a bit of a surprise.

I imagine this will be Dragons Lair in name only. Something the entertainment industry has been dong for decades now. Buying up properties and making something with little consideration for the source material.

Dirk the Darings name is a bit of a misnomer. The character was far more aloof, easily startled and a bit clumsy. But he was “charming” and had a heart. Princess Daphne was a 50’s bombshell, a cross between Marilyn Monroe and Janes Mansfield. There's no way we will get that Princess, especially in this WOKE/PC infestation we’re going thru. (And being produced by NETFLIX is the kiss of death!)

If they did a live action version of Dragons Lair and wanted to stay faithful to the source material I think little known ex-Disney actor David Henrie would make a perfect Dirk the Daring. While not a great actor he has the right look and enough comedic talent to pull it off.



And here's the perfect Princess Daphne, Hunter King.



For chrissakes just put me in charge of this movie!

Personally I would love to see a live action Space Ace. I think that would adapt a lot better as a live action /CGI film.

For olds time sake, here's the final scene from Dragons Lair.
