Hopefully that’s true! Would love to see him do that!

Adding to his collection of Jeffrey Wright collaborations if he does. Think this would make it no.6?

Schwarzenegger will be back…as Conan:

> “It’s a great story,” he said, where after sitting on the throne for 40 years, “Conan gets complacent, and now he gets forced out of the kingdom, slowly. Then there’s conflict, of course, and then he somehow comes back, and then there’s all kinds of madness and violence and magic and creatures. “Now, of course, you have all the special effects, and the studio system has plenty of money to make those movies really big.”
He’s probably in for a nasty surprise there…

I realized watching this that I haven’t seen a Spielberg movie in theaters since Tin Tin. Definitely won’t be missing this one.

Mike Flanagan’s Exorcist film begins filming
[https://screenrant.com/mike-flanagan-the-exorcist-official-filming-start/](https://screenrant.com/mike-flanagan-the-exorcist-official-filming-start/)
Buried in the article was something that was new to me (or maybe I’d forgotten), although upon further research I found that it had mentioned in other articles:
> Along with Prime Video’s _Carrie_ , he [Flanagan] is working on a television series of King’s _The Dark Tower_ books
> **[Mike Flanagan Teases ‘Dark Tower’ Series, Doesn’t Want 2017 Adaptation To Be...](https://deadline.com/2026/01/mike-flanagan-teases-dark-tower-series-1236660831/)**
>
> Three years after it was announced, Mike Flanagan is closer than ever to bringing his series adaptation of Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower' to life.
Now THIS is something that could be outstanding.
After he’s done with that, maybe Flanagan can get around to giving us a proper film adaptation of _The Stand_

Dune part 3 teaser trailer. One step closer to Bond 26…

Whisper… this is so meaningful… and like Vin Diesel… he‘s protecting his fa-mi-ly.
Cinematography, yeah, attractive - but if you had put DUNE 1 or 2 at the end it would not have looked differently.
This does nothing to convince me Villeneuve is right for Bond.

Not watched the series. How was it? I found the Chris Prine movie fun if hugely forgettable. Hunt for Red October i only remeber Connery. This series marketing screames it wanted to be Prison Break, which i did enjoy in a dumb way. Anyone know if it’s worth watching?

I liked the first three seasons, thought giving Ryan a rowing/cycling hobby worked well with the original analyst that had to drop out of the marines. Naturally, it developed more in a conventional 24/action spy series, but not without a certain charm. Am currently struggling through series four and I find it’s lost a bit of its appeal even though it adapts Clear and Present Danger closer than anything before in the series used Clancy’s source material.
The trailer makes this look like generic action cinema, not sure whether I will bother. The one thing that sets Clancy-flavoured fare apart from the rest would be a certain pseudo-documentary quality: his stuff doesn’t happen - but if it did it would in much the manner he describes and the protagonists would likewise share the background and folklore he’s using for his fictional characters. Most of the Jack Ryan centred adaptations after the Affleck vehicle (almost 25 years ago!) veered towards the more easily consumed conventional fare.

Oh, so sprinting toward Bourne supremacy fan fiction?
Sounds close to a hard pass

Give it a try; it’s still ensemble and not fully blown fantasy spectacle. But the particular Clancy mix is spread thinly across the show. Some of the updating worked - early Clancy books are now over 40 years old - and changing Admiral Greer into a much lower ranking CIA busy bee helped having the character as an active player throughout the show.
To me, Ryan’s charm used to be that he _isn’t_ one of the invincible SOG killing machines that people the genre. The contrast between him and ‘John Clark’ is crucial. The show replaced Clark with Chavez, logical considering the storyline. But Ryan is here really much more fighting field agent than analyst, frequent protestations notwithstanding. The basic solution to every problem is a guy with a gun - Amazon really caters to the demographic sharing that worldview. Can’t blame them, it evidently works like a charm…🤷🏼♂️

I really enjoyed the series. Dustin is pretty much spot on, though it sounds like I did like the last season better than he did. But he is right that this Jack Ryan is a little more action-oriented than analyst compared to the novels, but I think it still works well. I would recommend giving the series a shot.

Enjoyed the series, too, mostly for Krasinski being the reluctant, idealistic hero (despite being buffed up like one of the bros).
But Dustin is right: it’s like 24, if Jack Bauer had successfully undergone anger management.
This „a guy with a gun“ attitude also drags the whole thing down to a generic action exercise, but the trailer at least offers some shiny location work.
There is one scene in the series, however, which has been highlighted on social media after the Venezuela „incident“, in which Ryan explains why Venezuela is so important for the USA. A sardonic foreshadowing of real events happening years later.
And that shows that even this Amazon Prime clickbait has clever minds sneaking in realistic viewpoints from time to time.
