Cast Update 10-4-2020

At one point, this blog was supposed to keep track of the rotation of five books that I’m reading through in order to better cover meaningless things in this blog such as all of the movie updates and TV shows on DVD that I watch. Well, I have been stuck in the same rotation of four books for a while now. While it should be five books, I had to take one of them out of the rotation until after I watched a movie, the movie namely being Bridget Jones’s Diary. While my video store had it, that store closed down and now I’m not sure how to see the movie. This is so I can read the book Lights, Camera, Fiction. As for the four books that remain in the rotation, I’ll get to them later.

Jonny Lee Miller: It seems that he currently has only one project that I know of in the work. It is a movie called Nine Lives. I’ll keep track of anything else that I see him doing in the future. He also appears to be in a movie called Settlers. Another movie that he will appear in is Alice.

Nine Lives: This doesn’t have a release date or a trailer just yet. Despite its name, it has nothing to do with cats. It’s a science fiction movie about a team of humans having to work with clones (I think) all in outer space somewhere for some reason.

Settlers: This is set for release in 2020. I’m not entirely sure that this isn’t the same movie as the previous one and imdb is confused. I will keep this as separate for now as I’m not sure what’s happening with this just yet at this point in time.

Alice: This has an unknown release date right now. This could be a horror film or might be based on reality. A slave escapes only to find a shocking discovery nearby. I’d have to see a trailer to know for sure what genre this might be. Only there’s none yet and it could reveal more to this film that I’d want to know. Guess that I’ll have to wait for now.

Lucy Liu: I saw based on promos that she is in a show known as Why Women Kill. It turns out that she will also be in other projects. One is called The Last Weekend in May. I have no idea when that last project would be set for. Another thing that she will be in is called (at least for now) Untitled Workplace Comedy that I hope gets a name soon in the future.

Why Women Kill: This is a CBS all access series that is available already. I can pretty much guess based on the title what this might be about. I probably won’t be able to watch it unless I can see it for free at some point in the future.

The Last Weekend in May: There is no release date for this yet. There also isn’t a trailer or even a plot. If I had to guess, a significant point of this movie relates to the end of the month of May. That might even be a good time to release this movie if they wanted to. If June 1st is a Sunday, then which weekend would the last one in May be? I don’t see this on imdb anymore.

Untitled Workplace Comedy: This is set to air on ABC. The release date is currently unknown as of this time. I don’t quite understand the plot as currently written on imdb as it seems poorly phrased in some places. Best I can understand, a diva boss changes who she is after an adoption with her assistant becoming a mentor. I just hope that this doesn’t burn off during the summer. We’ll see what becomes of it later as things move along.

Aidan Quinn: I thought that given his limited role in the final season of Elementary that we might be seeing less of him. Well, it turns out that I was wrong. He will be doing different things. For one, he will be part of the movie Butterfly in the Typewriter that Desmond Harrington will also be in. He will also be in a miniseries called The American Guest. He’ll also be in The Gettysburg Address, which I find unlikely since that already happened in the 1860s. He’ll also be in Spiked.

Butterfly in the Typewriter: From what I understand of the plot, an author struggles to bring a story to life in this movie. I don’t know yet if it is based on a true story. It could be very Meta if you know what that means. It has no release date yet.

The American Guest: This is a miniseries that will air sometime in 2019. It might be international, which means that I might not be able to see it as a result. The plot is unknown as this time, but a potential spoiler about it relates to the role Aidan plays in it: that of Teddy Roosevelt. I have no idea if this is out now somehow or not.

The Gettysburg Address: Apparently they are going to milk the whole address into a movie. This seems like a weird choice since Lincoln himself in the address said that people will little remember what they say today. There is no release date yet for this.

Spiked: This has a release year of 2020. This has no trailer yet. The plot is about issues relating to a small town murder and the feud between a police chief and journalist in that town. It could be interesting, but cliché. This will be on the USA Network.

Jon Michael Hill: While he might do something after the show in good time, there is nothing that I see him doing right now as of yet. I will keep this section phrased like this until he does something that is worth putting down in here.

John Noble: He has a lot of projects in the work, so I might as well get to mentioning all of them. One is called Silencio. Another is called Nameless. A different one is called Stream. Yet another is called Guardians of Luna. I wonder if they’ll all get made. He’s also in something new called Call Waiting. Yet another thing he appears to be in is Home Invasion. I wonder what all he’ll show up in randomly.

Silencio: This was in Mexican and not American theaters. It has a plot mentioned of someone looking for a powerful stone. It has a DVD release time frame of November 2020. I hope to review it when it is out on DVD. It might only be on blu ray and not DVD.

Nameless: This could be interesting. It has no release date or trailer just yet. The plot relates to lost souls facing struggles with their past. It seems like it could be a good film, but it is hard to tell or know yet for sure. It seems like it could be good.

Stream: In this movie, telepathy is made possible, but it could have unforeseen outcomes. This seems like a possible basic premise for Downsizing with a different element of sci-fi used instead. There is not yet a trailer and there’s no release date yet. It only lists his role as rumored, so the movie could wind up happening, but not have him in it.

Guardians of Luna: This plot might be hard to keep track of. So there are werewolves that are part of a cursed town and there’s a war on humans potentially. It has no release date yet nor a trailer. But it does sound pretty interesting.

Call Waiting: This is has no plot listed yet. It’s year of release is 2019. I guess that we will find out later what will happen with this and what the plot of this short might be. Until then, I guess we’ll just wait and see what will happen with it. I have no idea if this is out yet, but will keep it in the updates for now. Hopefully I’ll find out more in the future about it.

Home Invasion: This TV series has little that imdb is revealing thus far. I don’t know what network it would be on. I just know that it will have at least six episodes. It has no release date right now. I must not know a potential plot yet. Check out my facebook group, Firefly: Where are They Now? This might have more updates on this in question since Morena Baccarin is in this as well. Hopefully, something will come of this.

Desmond Harrington: He is set to appear in a movie called Butterfly in the Typewriter, which I’ll explain in the next paragraph. Another thing that he is doing is a TV show that is called Manhunt. I’ll explain more of that now.

Butterfly in the Typewriter: I can’t tell yet if this is based off of a true story or not. I do know that it is about the struggles of an author to bring a comedy story to life. It has an unknown release date at this time. I guess we’ll see what comes of it later.

Manhunt: This is a TV show about the hunt to catch the Unabomber. It is out now. I have no idea yet just how much of this has already aired and what little recent parts of it might have come up at some point. But I do know that this is airing, even if it could be largely over at some point in time by now. I have no idea what network this is on. I realize that a version of this is going to air on CBS soon so I hope to have this as a review soon, if it isn’t here in this post. This might not be the season that was about the Unabomber.

Review: Manhunt: Deadly Games: Show Description- Based on a true story, law enforcement tries to find the person or people who did a bombing while a man has to deal with being falsely accused of the crime. Behind the Scenes- Part of this is based on the story of Richard Jewel. This also previously aired on cable before it repeated these episodes on CBS to make up for production slowdowns due to covid19. It stars Desmond Harrington who was also on Elementary for a season. My Thoughts- This seems pretty good and interesting even if one can spoil themselves to important plot details simply looking up what happened in the past. I like it feel that it is good to watch and keep track of. Long Term Prospects- There are no plans for any more of this after what airs as it is meant to air for only one season. If they use the title of this again, it would likely cover a different story as they have already done in the past. Where to Find- On CBS at 10/9 Central on Mondays

James Frain: While he has done a lot and could potentially have more of a role in previous things that he has done, what is worth noting now is that he will be in a movie called The Jester from Transylvania. I still don’t quite understand what Transylvania is. His former show, Star Trek: Discovery, is set to air on CBS in the future. I hope that I am able to see it there so I can review it here, even though his role might be minimal in it. If that review is not in this blog, check out my TV blog.

The Jester from Transylvania: This has a release year of 2020. It says Italy so might not be in this country. It also doesn’t have a plot mentioned, but it is likely about a jester from Transylvania. Who this jester is and what he or she does that’s important does not seem to be known about the movie yet at this point in time. Maybe I will at some point.

Robert Doherty: He is working on something, but I can’t quite understand the name of it right now. It is called Alive II. Maybe I’ll understand more of it once more info on it comes out in the future. He does not seem to have any other projects in the works right now.

Alive II: This is a TV movie. Its airdate is currently unknown. Someone is resurrected mysteriously and this man or woman is a cop. I guess that we’ll see what happens with this project later. Also note that Alive II might be the title and make more sense regarding the bringing someone back from the dead angle. Doesn’t this sound a lot like FOX’s Second Chance from not too long ago?

Emily Procter: She hasn’t done much since CSI: Miami ended. She is a mom so I don’t know if that means she’d be acting less. Maybe she’ll do something at some point. But I don’t see anything that she’s doing just yet. Maybe I’ll see more later.

Khandi Alexander: While she still acts some, as recently as 2019, I couldn’t find anything of hers that was major that she’s doing right now. The most recent thing that she did was a two parter on SEAL Team. I hope to see more of her in the future.
