Report for Thursday, Mar 14th

Stay with me on this, yesterday media was notified that next week production would start for what is being called a huge film called Eddington. I’m still trying to make sense of it. It’s stars Austin Butler who played Elvis in the Elvis movie. It also stars Oscar winner Emma Stone from the bizarre Poor Things, Pedro Pascal who starred in Game of Thrones and Joaquin Phoenix who was great in Walk the Line and Gladiator but stunk in Napoleon. And the only thing we know about Eddington is that it, “centers around a small town New Mexico sheriff and is a comedy, drama, horror movie! Again production starts next week, I’ll try to find out more.

Apple TV gave us the great sports comedy, Ted Lasso, and they will follow-up with a golf sitcom starring Owen Wilson as a retired, confused former golf pro. I have always like Owen Wilson, Wilson is a great surfer, not a golfer and lives in Hawaii.

On a serious note, Suri Cruise, now 17, may be moving with mom Katie Holmes from New York City to Los Angeles but is it true she may be considering getting a restraining order against her dad Tom if she moves to Los Angeles? As far as I know, Tom hasn’t seen his daughter in 12 years!
