Fans of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” were thrown for a loop last week when rumors starting circulating about yet another spinoff series. This one, first semi-confirmed by Emilia Clarke, reportedly would center around Jon Snow, and star Kit Harrington. As we all recall, the final season of the landmark high fantasy series was poorly received by audiences and critics alike. Pairing that with Harrington’s very public struggles mental health (which resulted in the actor voluntarily checking himself into rehab), this seemed like maybe not the best idea on paper. That is until author George R. R. Martin truly confirmed the…

Right on the heels of Emilia Clarke spilling the dragon beans, here comes good ol grandpa George RR Martin with a big confirmation. Yes, the Kit Harrington-starring Jon Snow “Game of Thrones” spinoff series is happening. Yes, it’s current working title is “SNOW.” Martin confirmed the show’s existence and working title on his NOT A BLOG blog. Yes, there is a Jon Snow show in development.   The HOLLYWOOD REPORTER story was largely correct.   And I would expect no less from James Hibberd…..Our working title for the show is SNOW. Martin went on to confirm Clarke’s story, that the idea for…

Who woulda thought the person to confirm a Jon Snow spinoff series would be the last person he killed in King’s Landing? We’re speaking of course about the recent story regarding the King in the North getting his own show, starring Kit Harrington. The confirmation- or at least confirmation that it’s been talked about- came from the one and only Daenerys Targaryen herself, Emilia Clarke. While doing press for the upcoming stage play “The Seagull” (a classic Anton Chehkov work), Clarke spoke with the BBC about the rumored Jon Snow series. Which, we would like to point out, has not…

The grand Maestro of Movies John Williams is probably stepping away from his chosen profession after his current project. The 90-year-old composer of our cinema dreams came out of retirement to handle a few bars of music for the galaxy far, far away. As a true delight, Williams will be scoring a 5th installment of the ultimate adventure franchise, “Indiana Jones.” Williams also may have just outed fellow legend Harrison Ford’s plans for retirement following that film, too. “At the moment I’m working on ‘Indiana Jones 5,’ which Harrison Ford — who’s quite a bit younger than I am —…

This just in-we MAY still be getting that long-gestating “The Green Hornet and Kato” film from Universal. Word today is that “Invisible Man” helmer Leigh Whannell may be in talks to direct. Back in 2020,  David Koepp (“Jurassic Park,” “Mission: Impossible”) was announced as writing the script for the project. It’s unclear if this film will use Koepp’s script, but it’s likely. This will be a live-action film, and not (we think) related to Kevin Smith’s animated series. Smith’s series takes place in a contemporary/modern setting, with a re-imagined Green Hornet and Kato as they battle crime in Century City. But…

Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), and The Guide (Kristen Shaal), are struggling to be parents to baby/toddler Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch).
