ooh.. who should play Amy Winehouse? I would love to se Heather Matarazzo up for the challenge.
Singer maybe bulletproof since gay Me Too stories outside Spacey and Terry Crews are the only ones that had public outrage attached.
Omg!!! Look on Nicole’s official IG. Destroyer trailer comes out tomorrow!!!!
Warner Bros. doing new Tom and Jerry (Nooooooooo! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy!?), Scooby-Doo (Hmmm?) and Flintstones features (well, the recent comic was basically amazing). So, yeah, mixed feelings on those. Related: If Artemis Fowl tracks huge? I'd absolutely expect Warner Bros. to green light a Billy and Mandy adaptation soon afterward. And I'd basically love them for it.
Forbes Article: This is mostly solid. Other than, y'know, lying about the James Gunn thing, which, yeah, that's a Forbes thing. Don't acknowledge the Nazis, because they're your primary audience.
Flash delay: I fully expect another year's delay before this is out and for the end result to be Grant Gustin in the lead role. We're on S5, S6 2019-2020, S7 2020-2021, movie in 2022. Sounds plausible.
First Man is so good. It won't make a lot of money because it doesn't give the crowds what they want. Gosling and Foy are both excellent
Bryan Singer can pretty much fuck off as I actually believe these stories about him. Part of me doesn't want to see Bohemian Rhapsody because I don't want to give him any more nor any major credit as I think Dexter Fletcher deserves more credit for saving the film if it's any good. Yet, I want to see it out of support for Fletcher and the fact that I love Queen.
Nathaniel-The Laundromat got picked up by Netflix. Why is this film not under your radar yet? I have not seen even the mention of it on your site.
We don't need a "Flash" movie...
Jamie -- The Laundromat hasn't started filming yet. Or just barely. It won't be out this year.
Jon Hamm looks even more dashing now than in his best Mad Men days (taking Joan to that bar and flirting like there was no tomorrow)
Volvagia - Whooooo cares.
