BUNGED-UP BOND
Production of the forthcoming Bond film has faced myriad difficulties. Following a nasty spill, Daniel Craig broke his ankle and was forced to get surgery. Then, a controlled explosion damaged the 007 set and injured a crew member. There have also been rumours that Cary Fukunaga has been distracted by videogames (seriously).
ANNE STABAWAY
Roald Dahl’s classic book The Witches explores the ugliness that can occur in human beings, and some of that was demonstrated in real life while shooting a new, live-action adaptation. The film, which stars Anne Hathaway, was forced to halt production in the UK when a man entered the set and stabbed a crew member. The stabbing victim sustained neck injuries, and police said it was believed that the men knew one another. That said, we’re not sure if the crew member’s coworkers offered additional statements to police. After all, The Witches snitches get stitches.
EVERY DAY IS HALLOWEEN
Last year, Jamie Lee Curtis reprised her role as Laurie Strode in David Gordon Green’s fantastic Halloween reboot, and the move paid off. Since Halloween rolls around every year, they’re going to keep making these. Despite no official announcement, multiple sources told Collider that Blumhouse is currently working with Green and Curtis to complete another Halloween film in time for October 2020.
RICK AND MORTY AND DAENERYS
The end of Game of Thrones was a downright debacle for some nerds, but there were a few who actually loved it — namely, Rick and Morty creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, the two explained that they loved the ending. “I wanted to keep this soap opera in my life. But I knew it had to end, and I was as satisfied as I possibly could be watching a staple in my life wrap up and all of the characters taking each other out,” Harmon said. “Structurally, I think it was great,” Roiland added. “I just wanted more episodes.”
NOT ALL-MEN
British TV network ITV has launched the “Comedy 50:50” initiative, aiming to achieve gender parity in its comedy writers’ rooms. Their first move? Banning all-male comedy writing staffs. The network’s head of comedy, Saskia Schuster, won’t commission any new shows if their entire writing staff is male, and she detailed a robust plan to work towards gender parity on the official “Comedy 50:50” website.
