WE HAVE A GHOST---trailer released for the comedy horror movie starring David Harbour and Anthony Mackie.

THE LAST OF US---HBO renewed the series for Season 2.
GLADIATOR 2---Russell Crowe said he is not involved with the Ridley Scott sequel, but he commented on it, “So, I know roughly how [Scott]’s shaping the story. But yeah, you remember, there was a young kid who wanted to beat the Gladiator? Which leads to the ‘My name is’ speech. So that young kid has grown up, and he’s now the Emperor … I don’t know what else happens at that point, but that’s the idea.”
SPIDER-MAN---Tobey Maguire commented on possibly returning to the franchise, “I love these films and I love all of the different series. If these guys called me and said, ‘Would you show up tonight to hang out and goof around?’ or ‘Would you show up to do this movie or read a scene or do a Spider-Man thing?’ it would be a ‘yes!’ Because why wouldn’t I want to do that?”
PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS---Disney+ released character profiles for Toby Stephens and Lance Reddick, who will guest star with main star Walker Scobell.
"Stephen’s Poseidon — The god of the sea who’s also the titular demigod’s father. Although seemingly absent in Percy’s life, many of Poseidon’s qualities live in Percy; stubbornness, impulsiveness and loyalty. Though he has stayed away throughout Percy’s life, his deep feelings for his son (and Percy’s mother, Sally) are evident.
Reddick’s Zeus – The all-powerful god of the sky and leader of Mount Olympus, Zeus is tempestuous and mistrustful. He’s promised to wage a war if his stolen thunderbolt is not returned."
BLADE---Stephen Dorff, who starred in Steve Norrington's 1998 movie, was critical of Marvel Studios' remake starring Mahershala Ali, "Marvel is used to me trashing them anyway. How’s that PG BLADE movie going for you, that can’t get a director? [laughs] Because anybody who goes there is going to be laughed at by everyone, because we already did it and made it the best. There’s no Steve Norrington out there."
DOCTOR WHO---showrunner Russell T. Davies confirmed that a spinoff is underway, "I thought — with no criticism whatsoever towards the people who were running it at the time, because they were running it within the BBC's measures — it was time for the next stage for Doctor Who. I thought the streaming platforms are ready, the spin-offs are ready. I always believed in spin-offs when I was there. I did TORCHWOOD as a spin-off, THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES as a spin-off. Those spin-offs declined when I left, and I can see why. And I very much left after 2008, when the money became scarce, I think that's fair enough for the public service broadcaster that the money is spent on other things."
NOSFERATU---Willem Dafoe will co-star in the remake vampire movie in an undisclosed role. Bill Skarsgard and Lily-Rose Depp also star.
FOX---renewed THE SIMPSONS, FAMILY GUY and BOB'S BURGERS.
TRIVIA---in 1949, special effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen wanted to make a movie based on H.G. Wells's classic sci fi novel THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. Harryhausen filmed a demonstration reel showing a tentacled Martian emerging from the cylinder. Unfortunately, the movie was never made, “I actually built a Martian based on H.G. Wells description. He described the creature that came from the space ship a sort of an octopus-like type of creature. I took it all around Hollywood...We couldn’t raise money. People weren’t that interested in science fiction at that time.” However, in 1953 Harryhausen's friend, George Pal, filmed his modern day version of the Wells novel starring Gene Barry and Ann Robinson which was a big hit.
Although Harryhausen's THE WAR OF THE WORLDS never made it to the movies, his Martian did---he resurrected modified versions of it for the Venusian Ymir in 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH and the Kraken in CLASH OF THE TITANS, his last movie.

Harryhausen used modified versions of the Martian for the Venusian Ymir in 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH (two top photos) and the Kraken in CLASH OF THE TITANS (two bottom photos).

I'd think Dafoe would play Count Orlok.
He was halfway there with Shadow of the Vampire.
Never mind, I just read the previous post.
