TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3
THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM---first eight minutes released of the animated prequel movie.

SNOW WHITE---trailer released for the Disney remake movie.

LAST BREATH---trailer released for the underwater survival movie starring Woody Harrelson.

STAR WARS: SKELETON CREW---the Disney+ tv series had good critics reviews with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 86% and a Metacritics score of 72/100.
NOSFERATU---the remake vampire movie had very good critics reviews with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 94% and a Metacritics score of 80/100.
CREATURE COMMANDOS---the DC superhero animated tv series had impressive reviews with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 100% and a Metacritics score of 80/100.
LUCKY---Anya Taylor-Joy will star in the Apple TV+ crime series based on the book. The synopsis says, “Taylor-Joy stars as a young woman who left behind the life of crime she was raised in years ago, but must now embrace her darker, criminal side one final time in a desperate attempt to escape her past.”
GLIMPSES OF THE MOON---Francis Ford Coppola said his next movie will be "a 30s-style strange musical” based on the 1922 Edith Wharton novel.
SUPERMAN & LOIS---co-star Wole Parks commented on rumors that Warner Bros. cancelled SUPERMAN & LOIS to remove any competition for James Gunn's upcoming Superman movies, "That's a great question. I'm going to tell you. I know as much as you do. It's all rumors of speculation. Do I believe it? Sure, of course, why not? Would DC want a clean slate? James Gunn has this very big Superman project coming out, and it seems like everything right now is a universe. You look at HBO and, I just watched THE PENGUIN, which was amazing and that show is based on Matt Reeves' THE BATMAN universe and, then THE BATMAN 2, whenever that comes out. So it seems like very much they're like, 'We want these worlds' and, and they were like, 'Look, we're kind of maybe tired of the CW version of it,' Regardless of the quality of the show. These decisions [are] well above my pay grade. I have no control over it. Like I said, did it suck? Would we have like to go at least another season or two more? Of course, but you live with what you what you get."
MAD MAX---director Justin Kurzel (ASSASSIN'S CREED) said he has an idea for a Mad Max prequel and wants to talk to George Miller about it, "...I’ve always been curious about what happened before the first Mad Max — what was that world with the Nightrider, pre-Mad Max? I’ve always been very curious about that and very tempted to talk to George about the possibility of a world that is pre-Mad Max 1 and what that is. That’s been one that I’ve always been really curious about because it was such an influential film in my time… It’s an amazing franchise, but I’ve always been curious about those moments before that first one because it’s set up so richly. And it’s such a great time in Australia, too, that period.”
BEL-AIR---Peacock renewed the series for Season 4 which will be the last season.
TRIVIA---in the MAGNUM, P.I. premiere episode/pilot "Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii", Thomas Magnum said Robin Masters' Ferrari 308 GTS was worth $60,000. The 308 GTS' successor, the 2025 Ferrari 296 GTS, has a base price of $376,000.
The 308 GTS used in "Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii" was driven from New Jersey to Los Angeles in 1980 by writer PJ O'Rourke and then shipped to Hawaii. O'Rourke chronicled his journey in CAR AND DRIVER magazine.

Well, we never know. It could be interesting, why not? Always open if it well made, well written.

....in....2024-5-6....really?....mate!....your optimism is so 1995.
I would youtube myself dining on a live crow, if this awful idea came to fruition, And Was Good!
See that you have a very good profile of excellence, lostin....assuming you aren't a wokie and Zimmer School savant?
Think a "now" take on the Max-verse would hark back to better times? Or be anything but bland, safe or soulless callback?
I was you, once, optimistic, anything could be good.
We live in very different times.
Sensing trolley, but who cares. It's just an already forgotten post, all of this, to get existential.
Actually not attacking you, but Miller's films are dear to me (HI HENRY!!!!), and the thought of other, untalented hands (is Assassin's Creed even worth discussing???), is....see above.

yeah, like Goblin said, the movies the past 20 years are littered with the detritus of people with 'good intentions' for a new take on original movies, the landscape of movies is a hellscape of failed sequels and reboots. My further concern is that the sometimes middling reviews and passable commercial response to these films has successfully lowered the audience standards, ie, "that movie was probably crap, but we are used to that by now". If you just take the visual quality of films, the irony is that new takes on films look immensely worse than the films that they want to supposedly pay homage to, and the audience does not even know the difference anymore. The dumbing down of the public has been pretty successful in many ways, unfortunately. America in particular is a junk food nation in many ways now, culturally and intellectually, we are neanderthal.

Sadly true. All of it.
