– Dexter Fletcher (Eddie the Eagle) has taken over directing Bohemian Rhapsody after Bryan Singer was fired. Fletcher was previously set to direct the Queen film only to leave the project in 2014.
– EW had the top image of Incredibles 2 which begins right after the first one ended.
– It seems that the Star Trek movie from Quentin Tarantino is going ahead. He met for hours in a writers room with Mark L. Smith, Lindsey Beer, Drew Pearce and Megan Amram according to Deadline. Tarantino has required it to be R rated, and Paramount and J.J. Abrams agreed to that condition. That rating was crucially important to Tarantino, who hopes to direct this Star Trek and who has helmed R rated films his entire career. Patrick Stewart has also said he would happily return to play Jean-Luc Picard if Tarantino was going to direct – “People are always saying to me, ‘Will you be Jean-Luc Picard again?’ And I cannot think that would be possible, but there are ways in which something like that might come about,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “But one of my dreams is to work with Tarantino. I admire his work so much, and to be in a Tarantino film would give me so much satisfaction. So, if he is going to direct something to do with Star Trek and there was the possibility of dear old Jean-Luc showing up again and doing that for Mr Tarantino, I would embrace it.”

– JK Rowling has shared her thoughts on Johnny Depp playing Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts movies.
Harry Potter fans had legitimate questions and concerns about our choice to continue with Johnny Depp in the role. As David Yates, long-time Potter director, has already said, we naturally considered the possibility of recasting. I understand why some have been confused and angry about why that didn’t happen.
The huge, mutually supportive community that has grown up around Harry Potter is one of the greatest joys of my life. For me personally, the inability to speak openly to fans about this issue has been difficult, frustrating and at times painful. However, the agreements that have been put in place to protect the privacy of two people, both of whom have expressed a desire to get on with their lives, must be respected. Based on our understanding of the circumstances, the filmmakers and I are not only comfortable sticking with our original casting, but genuinely happy to have Johnny playing a major character in the movies.
I’ve loved writing the first two screenplays and I can’t wait for fans to see ‘The Crimes of Grindelwald’. I accept that there will be those who are not satisfied with our choice of actor in the title role. However, conscience isn’t governable by committee. Within the fictional world and outside it, we all have to do what we believe to be the right thing.
– John Constantine (Matt Ryan) joins the Legends of Tomorrow.
