Also in July: Ant Man and the Wasp, Eighth Grade, and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. Anniversaries for The Dark Knight and Hocus Pocus. Centennials for director Ingmar Bergman and screenwriter Arthur Laurents. And more. Any requests?

Just read that Greta Gerwig is going to do Little Women for Sony.
Circling the project are Streep, Stone, Ronan and Chamelet.
Could this possibly happen????
Oh, man. I love Little Women, Gerwig, Streep, Stone, Ronan, etc., but we don't need another LW adaptation. Streep for Marmee? A 70-year-old has four daughters between the ages of 12-16? Emma Stone (age 30) would be playing a teenager for the bulk of her screen time. Could they really make it work? Or would it be an absurdity like 54-year-old John Barrymore playing Mercutio?
One question, Will you updated Film Experience's 91st Academy Award nominations predictions this July?
I like the idea of Greta Gerwig doing a remake of Little Women w/ Saiorse Ronan, Emma Stone, Timothee Chalamet, Florence Pugh, and Meryl Streep but.... do we really need another remake right now? I'm content with the 1994 film adaptation.
Maybe she will update it or have it be loosely based? A modern day take?
From Film Stage:
“Gerwig certainly wouldn’t be the first to adapt this story for the screen, but one can already imagine the special touch she’d put on the material, which is being billed as a “retelling,” perhaps in the modern day. The project, originally written by Sarah Polley (Stories We Tell, Away From Her), had a rewrite from Gerwig, and then eventually she came to direct.”
And it may be feasible that it will be set in Sacramento. Gerwig has said that she would like to have a four part series exploring other lives all set in Sacramento.
A modern day retelling would also explain the age discrepancies of the cast/ roles.
I dunno, they do a new Batman reboot every five years its seems, I think 23 years since the last big screen Little Women is a fair gap. Besides, my nieces are crazy about Chalamet. And by nieces, I mean ME.
Why the hell was Hocus Pocus released in July?
Yeah, with all the Batmans, Spidermans, Supermans, etc. I am not here for the idea that we can't have a theatrical adaptation of Little Women every 25 years.
Trini Alvarado, who played Meg in the 1994 version, was 27.
Seriously, why are some folks whining about a remake of a story that was last told for the screen like, 25 years ago? I don't get it.
I'd go see it!
I only know the anime (which I love) and the 1994 movie adaptation of Little Woman. So much for "many". *lol*
