showbiz and covid-19
• Vulture Broadway will officially remained close through June 7th now (Incidentally that's the date the Tony Awards were originally scheduled for)
• Vulture Mark Harris wonders how Broadway can recover from this pandemic. It's complicated! 
• THR Interesting piece about the soundstages and how much jockeying for scheduling there will be once studios can begun shooting TV and film again 
• Variety Disney furloughs employees from all labels including Marvel. Crazy that Disney earns billions each year and controls 40% of all box office $ and can't pay their employees through this. Damn corporations! 

Today's Video
Later this month HBO will be airing a new documentary on Natalie Wood! Check out the trailer...

 

Dumb Remakes
Not going to link to any stories but in case you haven't heard Hollywood has announced two of the stupidest ideas for remakes ever: The Night of the Hunter (1955) and The Others (2001). Good luck topping the masterpiece of the former and good luck with your "twist" that the entire world already knows with the latter. It's so silly. Remake something that isn't perfect as is! This is not complicated.
