TUESDAY, JUNE 30
STAR WARS---when a fan tweeted, "Say a genuinely nice thing about the Star Wars prequels", Rian Johnson replied, “Lucas made a gorgeous 7 hour long movie for children about how entitlement and fear of loss turns good people into fascists, and did it while spearheading nearly every technical sea change in modern filmmaking of the past 30 years.”
STAR TREK: PICARD---Gates McFadden hinted she might be returning as Dr. Beverly Crusher, "Well, I don’t know. There’s a good chance, let’s put it that way. But I have no contract signed."
TERMINATOR: DARK FATE---co-star Mackenzie Davis commented on the possibility of another sequel, “I really loved the movie and I’m so proud of what we did, but there wasn’t a demand for it [at the box office] and to think that there’d be a demand for a seventh film is quite insane. You should just pay attention to what audiences want – and they want new things and I want new things. There are many interesting people that don’t fit the mold of those who make these big franchises who have not had the chance to make movies. We should be investing in them right now.”
THE INVISIBLE MAN---Elisabeth Moss commented on a possible sequel, "Look, if people want it that’s kind of a big part of what we need in order to do it. So put the word out there that YOU want it and then I’ll help!"
JUSTICE LEAGUE---Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg, originally supported writer/directorJoss Whedon, who replaced Zack Snyder, “Joss is a great guy and Zack picked a good person to come in and clean up, finish up for him.” However, recently Fisher recanted his high opinion of Whedon, “I’d like to take a moment to forcefully retract every bit of this statement.” Fisher is one of the supporters of the Snyder Cut version of the movie.
THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER---Anthony Mackie commented on the Marvel/Disney+ tv series, “We’re shooting it exactly like a movie. Everybody who had worked on TV before was like, ‘I’ve never worked on a TV show like this.’ The way in which we were shooting, it feels exactly like we were shooting the movie cut up into the show. So instead of a two-hour movie, a six or eight-hour movie.
It was the same group of people, coming together to make it work. And so the stunt stuff – everything is just on another level. Every show, every movie, they just push it – they push the envelope so much. So hopefully, knock on wood, we’ll be going back soon.”
DEBRIS---NBC sci fi tv series underway about two agents from two different continents who team up to investigate debris from a destroyed alien spaceship.
LOST---co-creator Damon Lindelof said the original plan was for LOST to run for only three seasons, “I’m not trying to be diplomatic, I’m trying to give you the most accurate answer the way that I remember it, which is the conversations about wanting the show to end began as early as the pilot. One of the notes that we were getting back from ABC was ‘When are you gonna resolve these mysteries? And once you resolve these mysteries, why will people keep watching the show?’ And Level One of that was, ‘Well we’re gonna be introducing new mysteries as we go. So hopefully for every one that we answer, we’ve set up a new compelling mystery. If we get that balance right, they’re not gonna stack up.’ I think that we can both agree that we did not get that balance right.”
He added, “LOST was like, ‘What’s in the hatch? What’s up with the monster? Who’s the original Sawyer? How did Locke get in the wheelchair? What is the nature of the island? Why does it appear to be moving? Who are the Others?’ There were all of these compelling mysteries and so we were saying, ‘We wanna have this stuff answered by the end of Season 1, this stuff answered by the end of Season 2, and then the show basically ends after about three years.’ That was the initial pitch, and they were not even hearing it. They looked at particularly me — Carlton [Cuse] came on about midway through Season 1 and he joined the chorus of me — but they were just like, ‘Do you understand how hard it is to make a show that people want to watch? And people like the show? So why would we end it? You don’t end shows that people are watching.’”
OZARK---Netflix renewed the series for Season 4 which will be the last season. Season 4 will be expanded with two parts of seven episodes each.
ABC---the network decided not to order the THIRTYSOMETHING sequel and THE BRIDES, a modern day horror series about the brides of Dracula in New York.
COLIN IN BLACK AND WHITE---ex-NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick and Ava DuVernay are developing a Netflix miniseries on the early days of the controversial sports figure.
TRIVIA---actress/photographer Koo Stark is best known for her well-publicized 18 month-long affair with Prince Andrew, Duke of York, which ended under pressure from Queen Elizabeth. Early in her career, Stark was a candidate to play Princess Leia in the original STAR WARS. She did not get the role, but she did get the role of Camie, a friend of Luke Skywalker on Tatooine. Unfortunately, Stark's scene with Mark Hamill was deleted in the final version of the movie.

Rian Johnson is quite good at maths, isn't he?
Crediting a 20 year old film with 30 years of Sea Changes!

(Rumor has it that a beloved character from Deep Space Nine will be brought back to die a horrible death, but producers are still in negotiations with several actors in the original DS9 cast. There is no rush to cast as it will be possible to edit this gratuitous scene into any point of the season.)
Oo, oo- like reintroducing the Borg for no reason only to literally throw them away for no equally good reason (as well as every other story element in this show)?
It's like a lifetime of writing shitty blockbusters has in no way prepared the producers to write stories for a thoughtful, deeply-felt, novelistic television series. Who would have thought?

Picard finally gets around to once again trying to say he loves Beverly, but this time right before he does so, she's killed off.
And I have comments to make about a news report dragon53 did a locked thread on the same page, so here I go:
BATMAN BEYOND---a report claims HBO Max is developing a new live-action Batman movie starring Michael Keaton with Johnny Depp possibly playing The Joker, "A live-action BATMAN BEYOND is being talked about again and this time for HBO Max although no development has begun. If they could net Keaton for it, the possibility of this materializing greatly increases. AT&T is quite excited about the commercial and social-media buzz Keaton in BATMAN BEYOND could generate for HBO Max. Only time will tell if Keaton is similarly thrilled with the idea."
Keaton is also reportedly in talks to return as Batman in THE FLASH movie.
I personally love the idea. I like how all those old nostalgia, even though it produces a lot of awful results, at least is allowing the door open and bringing old shows, films, and characters back. Outside of Adam West, Keaton is my favorite movie-portrayed Batman. And I love the idea that we can have him back for a Batman Beyond future storyline.
But it'll be nothing without the gothic dark Burton look and Elfman score (and no, I don't want some updated edgy electronic stuff to signal "the future" in the score).
I have a bizarre notion: What is the gothic Burton look was combined with the future look of "The Fifth Element"?
Screw it. I love the idea of seeing him as Batman again her and in "The Flash" movie. And the possibility Toby will return as Spider-Man. So sue me.
