The Guardian the streaming series based on Love Simon, currently in the casting stage, will not feature ANY of the characters in the film. Hmmm. "based on" being a strange phrase then.

More after the jump including Disneyland's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, a Boy George biopic, an honor for Jane Fonda, and a new kind of action heroine...


Cartoon Brew so the long delayed live-action take on Akira is moving forward again with Taiki Waititi in the director's chair. The release date is supposedly going to be May 21st, 2021

Towleroad Boy George is getting a biopic after it worked so well (financially) for Freddie Mercury and Elton John. But why don't they just make his Broadway musical Taboo into a movie musical? That show was so underappreciated and its basically two biopics in one (Boy George plus Leigh Bowery) But it has great music.
Coming Soon we still can't quite believe that thsi movie isn't finished but The New Mutants is AGAIN  threatening to do reshoots. We'll believe that April 3rd, 2020 release date when the movie is actually on the screens and not a moment before.
