Former 'Doctor Who' Showrunner Says the BBC 'Can't Afford' the Series

Zak Penn confirms Ready Player 2 is still in development. Two new horror movies tackle tennis and titanoboas. The Jimmy Olsen/Gorilla Grodd show casts someone named “Sandra”— and it isn’t Lady Shiva. Also, don’t expect to learn who’s playing the next James Bond before “the end of the year,” according to producer Amy Pascal. If at first you don’t succeed, Mr. Kidd… try, try again, Mr. Wint! It’s Morning Spoilers! During a recent interview with Deadline, producer Amy Pascal stated it’s a “good bet” the next actor to play James Bond will be announced sometime around “the end of the year.” I would say the end of the year is a good bet. We are being really, really methodical. Having worked with Barbara Broccoli at the studio, I mean, Daniel Craig is a hard act to follow. And it’s got to be something really different that is a stirring and exciting and different. Speaking with The Direct, writer Zak Penn answered “I am working on it” when asked if Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player Two was still in development. Variety reports Shudder has acquired the U.S. rights to Bloody Tennis, a new “sports-horror” movie from director Nikias Chryssos. Starring Guldberg Kampp, Helena Zengel, Tracy Gotoas
