‘Jurassic World’s Colin Trevorrow Addresses Gender Imbalance In Blockbuster Directing Update:Colin Trevorrow wrote a response to this column, you may read it at the bottom of the second page of this post. It’s an unassailable fact that there are far, far fewer women directing big-budget studio blockbusters right now than there are men.

‘Monsters’ Sequel Or TV Show To Go Ahead Without Director Gareth Edwards Monsters, the much-buzzed ultra low budget indie set in an alien-infested Mexico, was recentlyreleased on DVD and Blu-ray. It’s too early to tell if the film will generate a cult following to reach the heights of its critical admiration, but evidently not too early to decide if a follow-up should be pursued, as Vertigo Films already has one lined up....

‘Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker’ Didn’t Recycle That Final Shot Of Rey Another day, anotherStar Wars"controversy" that has been debunked. But of the many issues that comes fromStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, this is decidedly not one of them. A few days ago, an eagle-eyedStar Warsfan pointed out that the final shot of Rey in silhouette inThe Rise of Skywalkerlooked oddly similar to another silhouetted shot earlier in the film....

/Film LA: Academy And LACMA Plan Long Needed Movie Museum; Grauman’s Chinese Theatre To Be Renovated As strange as it sounds, Hollywood – the place all people think of when they think of movies – doesn’t have a centralized place to commemorate and celebrate the industry that keeps the city alive. Tourists can see parts of film history by visiting various movie studios or Grauman’s Chinese Theater, but there is no ultimate movie museum filled with the history of the business....

I think the only people that like them are the actors who book them (congratulations, but I still don’t want to watch) and the companies who put them out.
