Power Rangers

Speaking in a Reddit AMA about his appearance in Stranger Things, Red Ranger Dacre Montgomery revealed that Hasbro has indeed decided to scrap the cast of the 2017 Power Rangers movie and pursue a reboot for the franchise:

I think there is a movie in the works but it’s not with me and the cast. So yes but not with us.

Bill & Ted Face the Music

THR reports Kristen Schaal has joined the cast of Bill & Ted Face the Music as “a messenger from the future” named Kelly. Deadline also has word Holland Taylor has signed on to play The Great Leader, “the most powerful person in the universe” 700 years in the future.

Space Jam 2

Don Cheadle is set to star in Space Jam 2, according to Deadline. Details on his character are currently under wraps.

The Eternals

In light of yesterday’s rumors, Millie Bobby Brown denied she’d been cast in The Eternals during a livestream on Instagram.

OK, guys, this is the problem. Everybody thinks that I’m going to be in a Marvel movie. Not that I know of. My family and I have no idea. So, I just want to let everybody know that I’m not… as of right now.

Don’t Let Go

The supernatural thriller (previously called Relive) in which a detective (David Oyelowo) receives a phone call from his recently murdered niece is now “gearing up for an August 30th theatrical release date,” according to Coming Soon.

Terminator: Dark Fate

Speaking with Variety, director Tim Miller stated Mackenzie Davis’ character Grace will “scare the fuck out of” closet misogynists.

Joe [Abercrombie] came out with this idea that a new protector from the future is a machine fighter. It’s a painful life, and they’re scarred and take a lot of drugs to combat the pain of what’s been done to them. They don’t live a long time. It’s a very sacrificial role; they risk death to save others. And from the very first suggestion it was always a woman. We had to look for someone who has the physicality, but I’m very sensitive to actors. I didn’t just want a woman who could physically fit the role but emotionally as well. Mackenzie really wanted to do it; she came after the role. She worked harder than anybody.

If you’re at all enlightened, she’ll play like gangbusters. If you’re a closet misogynist, she’ll scare the fuck out of you, because she’s tough and strong but very feminine. We did not trade certain gender traits for others; she’s just very strong, and that frightens some dudes. You can see online the responses to some of the early shit that’s out there, trolls on the internet. I don’t give a fuck.

Sonic the Hedgehog

In a separate interview with Variety, producer Tim Miller revealed he’s seen Sonic the Hedgehog’s new character design and believes “the fans will be pleased.”

Look, I was with fans and so was Jeff [Fowler]. When the s–t hit the fan, I went over there and said, “The most important thing to do, man, is say, ‘I f–ked up.’” He’d already sent a tweet out an hour before I got there. He’s a good man. It was exactly the right way to handle that. The fans have a voice in this too. There’s a right way to listen.

Vivarium

Saban Films has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to Vivarium, the upcoming sci-fi film in which Imogen Poots and Jesse Eisenberg search for an affordable starter home. In this economy? No wonder it’s science fiction. [Variety]
