this just in- according to some of our colleagues from other outlets, actress Anya Taylor-Joy has been CONFIRMED as having a surprise role in “Dune: Part Two.” And…it’s pretty major. If you think about it, there’s only one big character from the books who hasn’t made her appearance yet. Taylor-Joy was actually on a lot of fancasting lists to play St. Alia of the Knife, sister of Paul Atreides. Pretty likely that’s who she’s playing. Variety confirmed the news of Taylor-Joy appearing in “Dune: Part Two.” “Dune Part Two” features returning “Dune” stars Timothée Chalamet (“Wonka,” “Call Me by Your Name”), Zendaya (“Spider-Man: No…

UPDATE [The first day of Propstore’s auction saw the spinner sell for $131,250 including the buyer’s premium.] Perhaps the most influential movie in the genre, “Blade Runner” remains the industry standard for pretty much every aspect of filmmaking.

Which is why anytime a piece from the seminal film comes up for auction, it’s kind of a big deal. ESPECIALLY when it’s something like this item. An item from Propstore’s upcoming March Hollywood…

Even if you’ve never seen an episode of classic-era tv series “Bewitched,” chances are you’ve at least heard the theme song. It’s catchy as hell, and makes an excellent ringtone. (Ask me how I know!) Or, perhaps you’re familiar with the iconic nose twitch of star Elizabeth Montgomery as the titular witch, Samantha Stevens. There’s also, of course, the mother of all mother-in-laws, Agnes Morehead as Endora. I digress. As it’s one of my favorite shows of that era, I am strangely…interested? excited?…about the idea of yet-another reboot attempt. Yes, we had that Will Ferrell, Nicole Kidman flick that made…

Once again, employees of the Happiest Place on Earth are attempting to unionize. This time, it’s the hard-working and public-facing face characters, which includes 1,700 performers. These are the people behind the recognizable character meet and greets, parades, hosts, trainers, and other support staff for the characters.

This group, which calls themselves “Magic United,” is asking for increased wages, greater transparency on scheduling and rehiring decisions, and for Disney to address concerns about safe and sanitary…
