The Flood was originally in development at Netflix, but in November, The Wrap reported https://www.thewrap.com/zach-cregger-sci-fi-movie-the-flood- netflix- theatrical/ that development there had come to a halt when Netflix would not commit to a theatrical release for the film.

Well... I've been reading articles and posting from the terminal, which has been fun! So I'm still getting the hang of things around here....

But anyway... It's awesome Cregger ditched Netflix to get a theatrical release, but I feel like he might be doing a little too much... Three movies in three years only ever results in diminishing returns, unless you are Coppola.

This isn’t the first time filmmaker Bong Joon Ho has created an appealing creature for one of his films (that would be Okja). But Ally is a new level of cute.

I get that he did Okja with the cute little animal, but man, this feels like it's coming out of left field. And I'm here for it.

Audiences said ‘I do’ to the rage-bait-y rom-com, making it A24’s third-highest-grossing opening to date.

I honestly did not see this coming, even with the high opinion and known quantity that Zendaya and Robert Pattinson are. The movie just didn't seem to really be connecting to its marketing. And while Dream Scenario was a fun movie, it wasn't superb, so we're not selling tickets based off the creator. It has to be a Zendaya thing, but it still surprises me a bit.

He will co-write a new movie with his son, screenwriter Peter McGee, and LOTR veteran screenwriter Philippa Boyens. Its working title is Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past.

I like that they call his son a screenwriter even though he has zero writing credits on IMDb. Colbert also has no features to his name, but obviously everyone knows his fandom. Either way Boyens is still involved so I’m sure she will be able to keep the ship steady.
