O no!  I was so looking forward to Peripheral's second season.  Bill's always had bad luck with the screen for reasons I don't understand.

The Citadel otoh -- who cares?

SpaceChampion speculated it was the other show that Deadline said was getting cancelled, but it was A League of Their Own.

Apple TV+ has set a title for its upcoming series from Legendary’s Monsterverse: “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.”

https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/godzilla-series-title-monarch-photos-1235698195/

“Monarch” is set in the same universe as the films “Godzilla” (2014), “Kong: Skull Island” (2017), “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” (2019), “Godzilla vs. Kong” (2021) and the upcoming sequel “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.” Spanning three generations, the series following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco and tracks two siblings following in their father’s footsteps to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch. Clues lead them into the world of monsters and ultimately down the rabbit hole to Army officer Lee Shaw (played by Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell), taking place in the 1950s and half a century later where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows.

That sounds interesting , hadnt heard of it yet.

They Say (Some?) Snyder's planning to do Ayn Rand in the nearish future -- The Fountainhead. If he's the sort of guy, who at his age, still admires Rand, this bodes badly for Rebel Moon.

Old news that has already generated tons of shockingly idiotic commentary. But don’t worry, I’m sure plenty of Comic Book movie idiots and Disney/Star Wars shills* have their “objectivist Star Wars” commentary primed and ready. 

*No, I don’t think they are shills. I would respect them more if they were.

I'm confused by what the implication is here.



Anyway, marketing has started for Fincher's latest. 
 

Very interested in this, since the comic could not possibly suit Fincher's themes and tone more. Perfect match-up.

Old news, but not fake news -- Snyder is a fan of Rand and has said in the past that he dreamt of adapting The Fountainhead, but I don't think he's seriously going to do it. The last I heard he felt the political climate wasn't right, and then made some sounds about the fact that the story isn't political for him.

Ah-hem -- that is pretty hard to -- um -- to pull-off as making any sense whatsoever, considering the material and the author's own political intentions.

Not surprised by it. I think it got a very unfair shake from the early media gossip, and I only today realized -- seeing gleeful reactions on Reddit -- that a lot of the animus seemed deeply driven by fans of Amy Seimitz who came out of the woodwork to bay about it.  Regardless, while I think it (and the Weeknd and Sam Levinson) were treated unfairly, it was not really a success at what it strove to do, and while I give kudos to Tesfaye for deliberately playing a pathetic grifter who gets completely destroyed by the end of the project, at the same time he's just not enough of an actor to sell a lot of his role.

There were things there where you could see the aim and intention, but it didn't come together in a satisfactory whole for me.

I read some comments from a couple of mildly prominent social media so-and-so’s regarding the rebel moon trailer, in the context of Star Wars. 

Setting aside my personal opinion of these individuals, I found myself thinking, “Y’know, I don’t believe “The Mouse” is actually paying you idiots, but you make it really hard sometimes. 

Just giving it away like government cheese, they are.

Rebel Moon was basically Snyder's failed Lucasfilm pitch to do a remake of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. But of course, this had already been done in the Star Wars canon -- in an episode of Clone Wars and again more recently in The Mandalorian (by way of The Magnificent Seven) -- so is rather superfluous.
