FRIDAY, JUNE 14
UFO---Emily Blunt is in talks to star in Steven Spielberg's untitled UFO movie. David Koepp is the writer.
HOUSE OF THE DRAGON---showrunner Ryan Condal commented on the series' ending and how faithful it will be to George RR Martin's novel, “We’ve certainly talked about all that. We know where the ending is now. The writing team and I…and when I say the ending it’s really just where the curtain drops in this particular period of Targaryen history. Because, of course, after the Dance of Dragons is over there’s still another 120, 150 years of history before the Mad King is overthrown by Robert Baratheon. Which is really the end of the Targaryen Dynasty, and that leads us into the original series."
He added, “So yeah, we’ve talked about it. I do want to honor as much of what is there in the book, but we also have to find a satisfying to this story that wraps things up in a different and unexpected way for a giant TV audience. You’re always balancing the written history and making television show. But I think the fun of FIRE & BLOOD as a whole is it’s such a deeply rich and textured history that another writer can follow me after this and tell a story from the past before the DANCE OF THE DRAGONS or just after.”
WHITE HOUSE---Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson will star in Kathryn Bigelow's untitled Netflix movie set in the White House when nuclear missiles are launched at the US.
THE INSTITUTE---Ben Barnes and Mary-Louise Parker will star in the MGM+ eight-part miniseries based on the Stephen King novel.
MOVIE LOSSES---VARIETY projects THE FALL GUY will lose $50 million-$60 million and FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA will lose $75 million-$95 million.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER---HBO renewed the series for Season 3.
THE CHOP SHOP---Christine Ricci and Hamish Linklater will star in the true crime series based on the book about David Sconce, who took over the family Los Angeles crematorium and was later convicted of selling body parts, stealing gold filings and stealing from trust accounts.
AMANDA KNOX---Grace van Patten will star in the untitled Hulu miniseries which is “based on the true story of how Knox was wrongfully convicted for the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher, and her 16-year odyssey to set herself truly free.” Knox was convicted of murdering Kercher by an Italian court in 2009, but her conviction was later overturned.
BLADE---Mahershala Ali's attorney, Shelby Weiser, commented on the reboot movie's many creative shake-ups and the departure of two directors, "That deal was in 2019, and they still haven’t shot it, which is pretty much the craziest thing in my professional experience."
TRANSFORMERS & G.I. JOE---Derek Connolly (KONG: SKULL ISLAND) will write the script for the untitled crossover movie.
TRIVIA---Academy Award-winner Joaquin Phoenix's real name was Joaquin Rafael Bottom. The family changed its last name to Phoenix in 1979, when Joaquin was a child, after the mythical bird that symbolizes rebirth by rising from the ashes of its predecessor.

I liked the Phoenix parents cause they named their kids Summer, River, Joaquin, Rain, Liberty etc vs the common every day names. I like Tree a lot, and Fall makes a good boys name IMO. I remember someone naming their kid Jupiter. Sadly, someone also once named theirs Hitler. I'm sure it has been changed LOL. Do like Wednesday quite a bit too.

Are the other kids acting? I don’t even know. These kinds of parents scare me. Not only giving thier children stupid names but trying to make all their kids into celebrities. It’s like how can we monetize our kids?
Guess if you find "John Smith" appealing. I see your point on "Moon Unit" LOL, but not sure about Joaquin, River, Rain etc.

Better than Jesus Christ or Dammit I guess. We can still quote his jokes, right?

I didn't think River was very good.
Definitely went down hill.
