Thursday night. November 2017. I was tucked away in a rented house secretly writing a TV pilot based on Octavia Butler's novel Dawn. Patty Jenkins had called that morning to ask if I'd like to direct two episodes of her and Sam Sheridan's series One Day She'll Darken after a fierce competition for the job. Between these two adventures, I genuinely didn't want for anything. I was creatively filled to the brim.
Then an email comes from a director I deeply respect, asking if we can chat. Around 8 a.m. the following morning, the phone rings....

Participant and Magnolia Pictures have acquired North American rights to “John Lewis: Good Trouble,” a look at the life and career of the civil rights activist and congressional leader.
The film was executive produced and financed by CNN Films, Agc Studios and Time Studios. Magnolia is planning to release the film in the spring of 2020. Lewis is expected to play a key role in promoting the picture, which chronicles his social activism and legislative action as a Democratic representative from Georgia on civil rights, voting rights, gun control, health-care reform and immigration. Dawn Porter, best known for “Gideon’s Army,” directed the film and produced it with Laura Michalchyshyn.
The deal is a reunion of sorts. CNN Films, Magnolia and Participant partnered on the Oscar-nominated “Rbg,” which went on to gross more than $14 million at the global box office, making it one of the biggest documentary hits of 2018. CNN Films...

Ninja Squad is a real game of two halves, with the first fifteen to twenty minutes played as a cooperative game on one side of the board, and the second, slightly quicker half being a competitive race that takes place on the other side. Thematically, the players each act as one of up to four ninjas tasked with defeating an evil shogun, but in practice it seems that once the job is done, it’s every ninja for themselves!
The board for both halves of the game is long and thin, comprising of several separate boards aligned end to end. The objective in both sequences of play is to get your ninja from one end of the board to the other, all the while either avoiding guards, knocking them unconscious or, in the unfortunate event that they catch you, by dispatching them. Ninjas prefer stealth over all else and smart...

The apes are on the march again, it seems.
We’ve witnessed the Rise, experienced the Dawn and trembled before the all-out War, but The Hollywood Reporter today brings word that Disney and Fox are developing a new Planet of the Apes movie with Wes Ball (The Maze Runner) in the director’s chair.
It’s unclear as yet whether this project is being angled as a continuation of the previous series, or a total reboot. Either way, it will be the first Fox IP to be overhauled since Disney’s acquisition of the studio and its lucrative assets. One thing’s for sure: this THR scoop underlines the fact that Wes Ball’s Planet of the Apes movie is in the very early stages of development, so don’t expect any tangible update until the new year.

Who are the Mandalorians? Here's a guide to what you need to know about the Star Wars universe's toughest warrior race!
This Star Wars article contains mild spoilers for The Mandalorian.
In the first Star Wars live-action series, The Mandalorian, a lone gunslinger becomes the latest legend of the galaxy far, far away and a nightmare for fugitives in the Outer Rim planets. Pedro Pascal plays the titular Mandalorian, a masked bounty hunter with a mysterious identity we've yet to discover. As we learn early on in the show, the legacy of his people follows him on his mission.
Mando is part of a Mandalorian tribe, which includes an Armorer who coincidentally looks a lot like a Mand'alor, traditionally the leader and toughest warrior of the clan. Their rallying symbol is the skull of a mythosaur, a giant sea creature that once served as a mount for...

It’s a very popular prediction right now that the official title for Star Wars: Episode IX will be revealed by the end of the month, not least because The Last Jedi had its own title reveal in the January that preceded its release. But until the name of J.J. Abrams’ next film has been heard from an official source, fans will continue to offer their best guesses, and thanks to one anonymous Redditor, we may or may not have a few hints to help us in our speculation.
User PlanetOfMisfitSoldrs claims inside knowledge on Episode IX and its tie-in merchandise, and while they say it’s “too risky” at this point to outright give away the title, they do offer some clues. Specifically, it’s said that Lucasfilm is trying to evoke a feeling of hopelessness with the film’s new subtitle, meaning that anyone who’s predicting a...

‘Star Wars’: Filmmaker Victoria Mahoney Will Be First African-American Woman to Direct for Franchise
The “Star Wars” universe is making some changes.
While the ever-expanding movie franchise has been taken to task plenty of times for its repeated hiring of exactly one type of filmmaker — white males, including recent turns from Ron Howard and Rian Johnson — “The Force Awakens” director J.J. Abrams is bringing someone brand new into the fold: filmmaker Victoria Mahoney. The filmmaker and producer will serve as the second unit director on Abrams’ upcoming untitled “Episode IX,” marking the first time an African-American woman has served in any directing capacity on a “Star Wars” film.
The news was first announced by fellow Disney filmmaker, Ava DuVernay, who shared a picture of Mahoney and Abrams hanging out at a recent open house at her own production and distribution company, Array.
Happy to share this historic news. A black woman directing stories in a galaxy far, far away. First unit director #JJAbrams. Second unit director @VictoriaMahoney.
