    • The ‘Game of Thrones’ movie is reportedly moving forward at Warner Bros.
    • ‘House of Cards’ and ‘Andor’ writer Beau Willimon is at work on a script.
    • The movie may be impacted by Paramount buying Warners.

    Back before ‘Game of Thrones’ wrapped up its small screen run, there was talk that showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss wanted to end the story with three movies in cinemas, a prospect that HBO bosses shot down.

    But the idea of a ‘GOT’ movie didn’t go away, and in late 2024 chatter began about new development. Things have been quiet since then as Warner Bros. focused instead on prequel series ‘House of the Dragon’ and the recent launch of ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’, though news has now arrived of someone actually developing a film.

    Beau Willimon, no stranger to political shenanigans after developing ‘House of Cards’ for Netflix and to big-scale IP following his contributions to ‘Star Wars’ series ‘Andor’ is, according to Page Six, working on a script.

    What’s the potential story for a ‘Game of Thrones’ movie?

    Both Page Six and a recent Hollywood Reporter profile of ‘Thrones’ novelist George R.R. Martin have pointed to a focus on Aegon I, who birthed the dragon-happy Targaryen dynasty and united six of the seven kingdoms through bloody conquest about 300 years before the original series (the iconic Iron Throne is forged from swords captured from those his armies defeated in battle).

    It’s certainly fertile territory for ‘Thrones’ to explore, and indeed it appears HBO is also looking at a TV take on the idea.

    What could impact the new ‘Thrones’ movie?

    Perhaps the biggest question hanging over a film is what happens when/if Paramount’s purchase of parent company Warner Bros. Discovery goes through, as new regimes have a bad habit of throwing out projects developed by predecessors.

    Still, ‘Thrones’ is one of the prime money earners for Warners, so we doubt the new bosses would want to entirely step away from Westeros.

    • Will Arnett is joining Tony Gilroy’s drama ‘Behemoth!’
    • He replaces David Harbour, who left the film for personal reasons.
    • Olivia Wilde, Eva Victor and Matthew Lillard are also in the movie.

    ‘Andor’ creator Tony Gilroy has had to make a change to his new dramatic movie.

    Following word that David Harbour has departed the cast of ‘Behemoth!’ for unknown reasons (though part of it might have been exhaustion following the mammoth ‘Stranger Things’ press tour), Deadline reports that Will Arnett (‘Is This Thing On?’) has quickly been brought in to replace him.

    We don’t know what role Arnett will be playing in the film, though apparently the amount to be reshot is minimal and the movie is still expected to wrap its production in the coming weeks.

    The cast of ‘Behemoth!’ is already full of names, including Pedro Pascal, Olivia Wilde, Eva Victor, Matthew Lillard, Margarita Levieva and Alexa Swinton.

    While both Pascal and Gilroy –– thanks to their work in the ‘Star Wars’ galaxy –– are used to secrecy, this one is wrapped in even further layers of mystery. But a few details have emerged.

    Gilroy has said in the past that it’ll focus on a cellist who moves back to Los Angeles and decides to make music for movies. The film explores why he came back and why he went away, delivered in a nonlinear, music-driven structure.

    The whole movie is told through music cues, which trigger flashbacks spanning the last 20 years.

    Oscar Isaac had been attached to the main role, but his busy schedule meant that he recently had to drop out. Ironically, Pascal, who might be one of the other busiest actors on the planet, had free time.

    Arnett has been drawing some awards buzz for his role in Bradley Cooper’s ‘Is This Thing On?’ though has so far not scored any trophies.

    He has a small recurring role on ‘The Morning Show’ and variety of projects in development, including TV series ‘Fish Out of Water’ and ‘Temporary Humans.’

    When will ‘Behemoth!’ be in theaters?

    Searchlight hasn’t yet said when ‘Behemoth!’ will arrive on its release schedule; the switch between actors is not expected to impact the timing since what needed to be re-shot was relatively small.

    Having added directing to her resume a few years ago, Wilde has most recently shot comedy drama ‘The Invite,’ which she also stars in opposite Seth Rogan, Penelope Cruz and Edward Norton.

    On the purely acting front, Wilde will next show up in Gregg Araki’s comedic drama thriller ‘I Want Your Sex,’ which also features Cooper Hoffman and Chase Sui Wonders.

    And beyond ‘Behemoth!’, she’s also attached to new thriller ‘Monkey Hill.’

    When will ‘Behemoth!’ be in theaters?

    Searchlight hasn’t made an actual announcement about the release date for this one. Given that it has only just started shooting, that’s not surprising. But with that cast and director, we wouldn’t be shocked if this ended up positioned as an awards contender for later in 2026.

    The 77th Emmys hosted by Nate Bargatze will air on CBS and Paramount+ September 14th.
    The 77th Emmys hosted by Nate Bargatze will air on CBS and Paramount+ September 14th.

    Preview:

    • ‘The Studio’, ‘Hacks’ and more won at the Emmy Awards.
    • Noah Wyle and Britt Lower were named lead actors in a drama for their shows.
    • Nate Bargatze hosted the show.

    This year’s Emmy Awards were held on Sunday night, and there were a lot of expected winners, including repeat appearances from Team ‘Hacks‘ (Jean Smart scored fourth award) and ‘The Traitors’.

    AulZezx8OrKuKzuMPlPnE3

    Nate Bargatze hosted –– but beyond a relatively fun opening monologue taking expected swipes at TV such as ‘The Bear’ qualifying as comedy rather than drama, he wasn’t all that impressive as emcee for the night. The only element that worked was a running total donation to the Boys & Girls Club of America he promised, which went up and down according to how well winners kept to a 45-second speech limit.

    Stephen Colbert was the first presenter of the night, and in a nod to his show being cancelled by CBS (the channel that ran the ceremony this year), asked nominee Harrison Ford to get his resume to Steven Spielberg.

    There was some surprises –– while ‘Severance’ was always expected to do well, it didn’t take as much as expected, though Britt Lower‘s win over ‘Matlock’ veteran Kathy Bates was a minor upset, while ‘The Studio’s Seth Rogen triumphed over ‘The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White for Lead Actor in a Comedy series.

    Elsewhere, ‘Somebody Somewhere’s Jeff Hiller was also somewhat of a surprise winner over nominees from ‘The Studio’ and ‘Shrinking’.

    The directing for a Limited Series category featured five women to one man. Of course the man won it! ‘Adolescence’ overseer Philip Barantini took the trophy — the limited series itself won a clutch of awards.

  • ‘Splitsville’ Interview: Dakota Johnson and Adria Arjona

    BgJG2GUb

    Opening in limited theaters on August 22nd before expanding wide on September 5th is the new comedy ‘Splitsville‘, which was directed by Michael Angelo Covino (‘The Climb’) and written by Covino and Kyle Marvin (‘80 for Brady’).

    In addition to Covino and Marvin, the film also stars Dakota Johnson (‘Materialists’), Adria Arjona (‘Hit Man’), Nicholas Braun (‘Succession’), O-T Fagbenie (‘Black Widow’), David Castañeda (‘The Umbrella Academy’), and Charlie Gillespie (‘Julie and the Phantoms’).

    Moviefone: To begin with, Dakota, the movie is very funny. Can you talk about your first reaction to the screenplay, and did it read funny on the page?

    Dakota Johnson: I mean, yes, especially because I had the tone of in my head because I had seen ‘The Climb’ and I feel like when you know their voices and you know their candor, you implement that into reading the script. So, it’s a very specific tone of comedy, you know.

    MF: Just to follow up, do you think you found a lot of the humor in the movie organically on set?

    DJ: Yeah, there was a lot of improvisation and a lot of moments like that. I feel like the funniest moments in the movie are the devastating ones where it’s like humans not getting it right with each other and feeling so uncomfortable, rather than like a set-up and joke.

    MF: Adria, can you talk about your first reaction to the screenplay and what were some of the characteristics of Ashley that you were excited to explore on screen?

    Adria Arjona: When I read it was like, “What in the world am I reading?” Especially the opening of this film, it’s probably one of the craziest openings of any movie I’ve ever read. In the first 10 minutes, the movie kind of just slaps you in the face in the best way possible. So, it was funny, and I had also watched ‘The Climb’, so it was one of those things that it was an undeniable, yes for me. Then, you know, Ashley, she just goes through so much in this film. She starts off having everything she ever wanted and taking it for granted in ways and then jumping through hoops to realize that maybe she was wrong or maybe she was right. She dives into the definition of what an open relationship is, and she’s excited about it. She’s a woman in her 30s that’s trying to discover who she is and feels like she’s letting herself go, she doesn’t have this exploration, which is something that I bet a lot of women who get married kind of feel, and then she teaches you this beautiful lesson. So, I was interested in kind of exploring that.

    MF: Finally, Dakota, as a producer and an actor, what was it like working with Kyle Marvin and Michael Angelo Covino as both actors and filmmakers on this project?

    DJ: Contentious. I think it’s kind of what I love so much about this movie is the contention that you see between the characters on screen, it also was happening behind the scenes with producers and the filmmakers and the DP. Everyone was heightened creativity, and it just was a very collaborative experience, but fiery. Everyone was quite into their own opinions. I mean, I think we made a good movie, so ultimately in a good way.

    • Pedro Pascal is in talks for ‘Behemoth!’.
    • It’s the new movie by ‘Michael Clayton’ writer/director Tony Gilroy.
    • Searchlight is producing the film.

    While it might not have gotten the Emmy love it deserved, the Tony Gilroy-steered Lucasfilm/Disney+ series ‘Andor’ was a magnificent achievement and stuck the landing this year.

    But with his small-screen work complete for a while, Gilroy has been focused on gearing up his next movie.

    Deadline brings word that Gilroy is developing a new movie currently titled ‘Behemoth!’ (yes, apparently including the exclamation mark).

    And he has his eye on someone whose career has been in hyperdrive of late: Pedro Pascal.

    XGBYMtkMJbbnmHI2nDUm66

    Oscar Isaac had been attached to the main role, but his busy schedule meant that he recently had to drop out. Ironically, Pascal, who might be one of the other busiest actors on the planet, apparently has free time.

    While both Pascal and Gilroy –– thanks to their work in the ‘Star Wars’ galaxy –– are used to secrecy, this one is wrapped in even further layers of mystery. But a few details have emerged.

    Gilroy has said in the past that it’ll focus on a cellist who moves back to Los Angeles and decides to make music for movies. The film explores why he came back and why he went away, delivered in a nonlinear, music-driven structure.

    The whole movie is told through music cues, which trigger flashbacks spanning the last 20 years.

    Gilroy looks to kick off shooting this one in October.

    Where else can we see Pedro Pascal?

    It’s almost easier to tell you what Pascal isn’t in these days.

    The actor is on movie screens right now in ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’, Marvel’s latest release.

    He’s reprising the role of Reed “Mr. Fantastic” Richards for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, which will be in theaters on December 18th, 2026, followed by ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ in 2027. While he hasn’t been confirmed for ‘Secret Wars’, there’s every chance he’ll be in that movie, too.

    Before that, he will be seen –– assuming he takes the helmet off –– in new ‘Star Wars’ movie ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’, which flies into cinemas on May 22nd next year.

    When will ‘Behemoth!’ be in theaters?

    Searchlight hasn’t made an actual announcement about the release date for this one. Given the planned production schedule and people involved, we wouldn’t be shocked if this ended up positioned as an awards contender for later in 2026.

    Andor‘, which explores the timeline created by ‘Rogue One‘ and stars Diego Luna in the title role, ends its second season on May 13th.

    In honor of ‘Andor’s finale, Moviefone is counting down every Disney+ ‘Star Wars’ series so far, including live-action and animation.

  • Ben Mendelsohn Reportedly Back for ‘Andor’ Season 2

    Preview:

    • Ben Mendelsohn is reportedly back for ‘Andor’ Season 2.
    • The ‘Star Wars’ series has already shot the season.
    • Mendelsohn will reprise his role as Orson Krennic.

    Much like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Team ‘Star Wars’ is famously circumspect when it comes to revealing information.

    But, as with the Death Star plans, leaks do occur. Which brings us to ‘Andor’, the Disney+ prequel series that leads into the events of ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’, where Death Star plans played a slightly important role.

    Season 1 of the show launched in 2022 to great acclaim, and executive producer Tony Gilroy and his team have been hard at work on Season 2.

    And now, according to an unusual source, we’ve learned that the new season will reportedly see the return of Ben Mendelsohn’s Imperial Director Orson Krennic.

    What was the story of ‘Andor’ Season 1?

    Diego Luna plays Cassian Andor in Lucasfilm's 'Andor,' exclusively on Disney+.
    Diego Luna plays Cassian Andor in Lucasfilm’s ‘Andor,’ exclusively on Disney+.

    ‘Andor’ focuses on the character of Cassian Andor (played in ‘Rogue One’ and the series by Diego Luna). It’s the story how a young man went from an orphan whose people were attacked by Imperial Forces to a resistance fighter recruited by the Rebel Alliance to focus his anger.

    Along the way, he learns that the fight against the oppressive regime is far from the black-and-white-conflict usually portrayed in the movies, and even ended up spending time in a high-tech Imperial prison.

    How does Imperial Director Krennic fit into the story?

    We first met Krennic at the start of ‘Rogue One’, striding across a windswept plain in a magnificent cape to bring Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen), chief designer of the Death Star back from where he has been hiding out to track down an issue with it –– an issue Erso himself created.

    The Playlist talked to Mexican filmmaker Alonso Ruizpalacios for his new movie, and he revealed that not only had he been given the chance to direct the last three episodes of ‘Andor’s 12-episode second season, and that he had worked with great actors such as Stellan Skarsgård, Forest Whitaker and Mendelsohn.

    It makes sense that since the end of ‘Andor’ Season 2 is designed to directly dovetail into the start of ‘Rogue One’, Krennic would eventually show up. And what of Mikkelsen? We’ll have to wait and see on that front.

    Disney and Lucasfilm have of course not confirmed the casting, so keep that grain of salt ready for now, though Luna himself said at the recent ACE Superhero Comic Con that we can expect to see some familiar ‘Rogue One’ faces in the second season.

    When will ‘Andor’ Season 2 arrive on screens?

    Disney has yet to officially confirm when the new season will land on its streaming service, but early 2025 would appear to be a possibility given how far along it is in the process.

    'Andor' season 1 will premiere on Disney+ September 21st.

    • Charlie Hunnam and Adria Arjona are the latest casting announced for Prime Video’s ‘Criminal’.
    • The series adapts Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ award-winning graphic novels.
    • Richard Jenkins is also aboard.

    Ed Brubaker has long been among the most respected creators working in comics, and he’s since parlayed that reputation into TV work, contributing or co-creating the likes of ‘Westworld’, ‘Too Old to Die Young’, ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ and the upcoming ‘Batman: Caped Crusader.’

    He’s also been busy developing a TV adaptation of one of his most famous graphic novel titles, ‘Criminal’, which has been set up at Prime Video. We now know that ‘Sons of Anarchy’s Charlie Hunnam and  ‘Hit Man’ and ‘Andor’ actor Adria Arjona will be part of the cast.

    What’s the story of ‘Criminal’?

    Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ 'Criminal'.

    ‘Criminal’ adapts the sprawling graphic novel series created by Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips.

    The adaptation is being described as the interweaving saga of several generations of families tied together by the crimes and murders of the past.

    Hunnam will, according to Deadline, play main character Leo, a brilliant master thief who sees all the angles, and specializes in plans with no guns and no violence.

    Like a chess player, Leo thinks three moves ahead. Other crooks think he’s a coward, especially compared to his father Tommy, who went to jail for murdering the most feared man in the city, Teeg Lawless.

    Arjona will bring to life Greta, a sharp-tongued top-level car thief and driver and the widowed mother of Angie.

    Ever since her husband died in a bank job gone bad, Greta has been battling with herself about how to escape the only life she’s ever known – and the only place she’s ever thrived. The problem is, she’s good at this. She’s looking for a big score, a lump of money she can use like a gun to shoot her and Angie out of this life and into another one.

    Who else is in ‘Criminal’?

    Richard Jenkins (‘The Shape of Water’) was reported as joining the series last week, and he’ll play a character called Ivan, Leo’s dad’s best friend, who has always been an uncle figure to him. He used to be a robber and criminal but is now currently suffering from dementia. Leo is trying to care for him but realizes he’s more work than he can handle.

    Who is making ‘Criminal’?

    Brie Larson as Captain Marvel
    Brie Larson as Carol Danvers in 2019’s ‘Captain Marvel.’

    Brubaker is closely involved with the show –– he wrote the pilot script and will run the show alongside Jordan Harper, a veteran of shows such as ‘The Mentalist’, ‘Gotham’ and ‘Hightown’.

    On the directing side of things, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (who made ‘Captain Marvel’) are handling the first four episodes of the show.

    This was Brubaker’s comment when the show was originally announced:

    “Sean and I have been building this world in our books for over a decade, and now to be able to bring it to life for Amazon is just incredible. And to have Amazon support the project the way they have and show so much faith in my and Jordan’s vision for the show is even more incredible.”

    Here’s what Amazon/MGM’s Nick Pepper had to say about the new developments:

    “‘Criminal is a beloved graphic novel created by the most iconic team in the history of comics. I know our global Prime Video customers will immediately embrace this story, and I look forward to working with Ed, Jordan, and the team to bring it to the screen.”

    When will ‘Criminal’ be on screens?

    Despite the cast coming together, we wouldn’t expect this one to be shooting much before later this year, so later in 2025 would seem to be the earliest likely release slot.

    • The 75th Emmy Awards ceremony was broadcast Monday night.
    • ‘Succession’, ‘Beef’ and ‘The Bear’ scooped a lot of awards.
    • The show also brought out casts from veteran series.

    While there have been a number of award ceremonies (the Directors Guild, the Critics Choice Association) that feature television among their trophies, Monday night was the big one for TV –– the 75th Emmys. Delayed from September last year (so these are technically the 2023 Emmys), they were finally handed out Monday night.

    In the lead up to the award, there were questions as to whether there would be a lot of repeat winners, including ‘Ted Lasso’, which has done well in recent years, and whether that, along with ‘Succession’, would benefit from voters looking to reward them for their final seasons (neither show, let’s be honest has needed it, but the fact remains).

    ‘Succession’ once again dominated, along with ‘Beef’ (in limited series categories) and ‘The Bear’, the three shows winning multiple awards, to no-one’s surprise.

    Anthony Anderson proved to be an engaged and entertaining host, kicking things off with a tribute to the television he loved growing up and popping up to move things along from time to time (at one point donning an ‘American Horror Story’ gimp suit), with his mother, Doris, acting as a human alternative to play off music (also used judiciously so the joke never wore thin).

    The speeches, for the most part, were short and sweet. And in a presenting moment, Pedro Pascal continued the comedy feud with ‘Succession’s Kieran Culkin (who had told his category competitor to “suck it” while accepting the Golden Globe), blaming Culkin for his recent shoulder injury in a sweary moment that the broadcast muted.

    Aside from the awards, the show looked to generate buzz by reuniting the casts of some classic and iconic shows including ‘Cheers’, ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, the latter an odd once since it’s still on the air (but everyone still thinks of the original lineup).

    Those were much more of a mixed bag –– the ‘Cheers’ gang were game and warm, but does it really count as a ‘Game of Thrones’ reunion when it’s just Peter Dinklage?
