And until someone signs on the dotted line, there’s probably not much in the way of casting that’s going to happen, but that doesn’t mean that screen tests or auditions will stop, and a few new names have surfaced as contenders for the role of Domino.

With the “Star Wars” series essentially Marvel-ized, with Disney and Lucasfilm laying out the groundwork for movies beyond 2021, it means the news cycle around these films is constantly turning. It’s also why even though “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” and “Star Wars: Episode VIII” haven’t yet hit theaters, the conversation is already starting around the Han Solo spinoff, which will star Alden Ehrenreich in the lead, with Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian.

Sylvester Stallone Will Return To Star In That ‘Escape Plan’ Sequel You’ve Been Waiting For
13 minutes ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Three years ago, “Escape Plan” hit theaters. It starred Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger and it was dumb and got terrible reviews and tanked at the box office and everyone moved on with their lives. Well, everyone in North America at any rate. Overseas, the low rent action movie earned a staggering $112 million, hugely outpacing the tepid domestic haul of $25 million. And for the folks at Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films, that’s enough reason to greenlight a sequel.

Royo, who picked up a Special Jury Award for his performance at this year’s SXSW Film Festival, where the film made its bow, goes all out as the luckless Ashley, who emerges back into the “real world” to find that very little has waited for him, including his beloved girlfriend Linda.

The National Center On Sexual Exploitation Calls Out ‘Westworld’ For Graphic Orgy Scene
1 hour ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
**Spoilers ahead** A lot happened on last night’s episode of “Westworld“: The Man In Black and Dr. Ford crossed paths; Dolores showed herself to be far more than just a damsel in distress; Maeve began to unravel more about what she is; and oh yeah, there was a giant orgy sequence. For a network that is routinely criticized for how much skin they show, HBO didn’t flinch in a scene that showed the visitors of Westworld indulging their sexual desires with wild abandon, but the sequence has ran afoul of The Nation Centre Of Sexual Exploitation.

“Student Filmmaking at its Finest”: Don Coscarelli on Phantasm
1 hour ago | Filmmaker Magazine - Blog | See recent Filmmaker Magazine news »
The first filmmaker I ever interviewed was Don Coscarelli. It was 1998 and I was a junior in college, toiling away at the University of Kentucky student newspaper. Coscarelli agreed to chat about his career for the paper’s Halloween movie page and, clueless as to proper interview decorum — or what might be an appropriate amount of time to monopolize — I asked him about every movie he had ever made. Every. Single. Movie. It was a Frost-Nixon length tête-à-tête, but he was nice enough to humor me. Two decades later — and on the eve of another Halloween — I had […] »
