A source close to the project states “Her team are elated and are open to discussions as they see major potential in her being tied to a movie like the Matrix. It’d be a win-win for all.”
I bet that's what they told everybody who was in the recent Men In Black movie.
I know it's what they told Kristianna Loken for her role in Terminator 3. Besides a few roles in some so bad they're good flicks by Uwe Boll, I couldn't tell you anything she's been in since then. Shame too, since she was one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
HAHA!!! That... is... HILARIOUS!!!!!
Seriously man, when you said it I had to look it up. As you know, I don't follow much of any of the new stuff at all and barely even watch anything when it comes out anymore. So it was no surprise to me when I found that article after you said something about it.
But what an unexpected punchline for you to come right back and say that it was just an offhanded joke and not something that you already read about.
Predictable much in your cultural appropriation Hollywood?
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Did you really, or was that a joke?
I can't imagine you'd be working in the same culture as the good old days. My cousin works there, and god love her, but she's a bleedin' heart white apologist liberal. You'd be better off starting your own magazine, yanno, if you want to actually write funny stuff.

I was a contributor when it started, in Madison.

Didn't know it started in Madison. She worked in or around Chicago and still does, as far as I know. My aunt and uncle, her parents, have actually been photographed and used as characters in some of their fake stories. They're actually really great people if you don't talk politics with them. The only reason I know how far lefty they are, especially my cousins, is that I hear about the things they post on Facebook from other family members. Nobody should use Facebook.
Her sister, my other cousin, works on Adam Ruins Everything.
That's pretty awesome that you used to work there. Probably back in the days when I first discovered it when I would go downtown Chicago with my friends. Maybe you can go back there and make it funny again.

Ad Astra. Looks like almost a reboot of Space Cowboys, with Sutherland and Jones. With Garner passed, maybe Pitt takes his place. But no sign o Clint.
Plus Liv Tyler from Armageddon, Ruth Negga from SHIELD and World War Z
Or it may be reminiscent of Interstellar.
Don't know why I hadn't noticed it before this month.
Coming out 20 September.

Some decent looking films came out this past weekend.
Some decades ago, a writer in Iowa wrote a novel, and was asked to sell the film rights. This was his first time with this, and he hired a lawyer to review the contract offer.
The lawyer indicated the whole thing looked good, except that a sentence should be ammended to say "And sequels". The author complained for years that this was the most stupid waste of $500 he could imagine. This ws in the 1970's, when $500 was real money - and the character in the book died at the end, so there couldn't be any sequel.
About 8 years later, First Blood was screen tested, and the audience hated the death of the protagonist in the film. An alternate ending was re-shot, with the protagonist surviving.
Thus was the introduction to the film world of the prototypical One-Man Super Warrior portrayed as John Rambo. The template upon which all subsequent Hollywood. Superwarriors have been modeled.
Friday was the release of Last Blood.
David Morrell didn't make much fortune off of First Blood, but during the rest of the franchise he hasn't needed to work much. He has mentioned that the lawyer fee was the best $500 he ever spent.

My old man was thinking about seeing Last Blood with my brother this week, but Roper gave it zero stars and he read that Rotten Tomatoes gave it something like 27%. But he said that Roper was whining a lot about the usual SJW bullshit.
So I asked him, was the 27% the audience or the critic score. He said that he thought it was always the audience score when they mention it. I said, probably not, if they're pushing an agenda. He looked it up while we were on the phone and we both got a good laugh when the audience score was 85%.
He's going to go see it.
Screw rotten tomatoes. Make sure everybody you know knows how it works and doesn't just assume things.

Nothing appeals to me to make it to the theaters for the rest of 2019 , that I can tell.
I'll allow myself to be dragged ( maybe ) to Joker / not Joker, what ever the hell that's supposed to be about.
* I see MIDWAY is being remade... with Mandy Moore. Hope that's better than the Pearl Harbor bomb.
