Cast Update 3-7-2022

Some of you might be wondering just how likely it will be for me to get caught up on all of the movies that I’m behind on that are out recently. Well, I wish that I knew myself. But I’m hoping that it won’t be too long and I think that I can get it done in due time when I have weekends free that I choose to spend getting movies like that. I also don’t know just how many of them I’ll simply skip on in the end and not watch after all. Plus, there are some that I just may not be able to see at all because it won’t be available. And I could have potentially seen some of them in theaters. After I was unable to see I Still Believe in theaters, it seems to just be one thing after another preventing this from getting done making me wonder what some of the point of some of this is.

 

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. He will also be in the newest season of The Crown.

 

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 on DVD now. 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 yet. That seems to happen at lot when I’m doing cast updates. Maybe this will change, but who knows? There is a trailer for this now:

Thoughts on trailer: I’m still not entirely sure what to make of the plot after seeing the trailer for it now. But it seems like there is the typical family must stay isolated away from other threats in possible science fiction like ways or something like that movie. It could be good or instead make little to no sense and not really work as a result. I’m hoping that it will be good in the end. Or it could be somewhere in between. Who knows for sure without seeing it? It is not out yet in a way that I can see it so I will keep it in these updates until it is out in a way I can see it.

 

Alice: This has a release date of March 18, 2022. 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. There is a trailer for this now:

Thoughts on trailer: This looks freaking awesome and badass. I’d love to see this film and look forward to it more than any film trailer I might have seen in recent memory. Let’s hope that it won’t be too long before I see the film after it is out and some way. If this is only on streaming, then I doubt I’ll be able to see it, depending on where it is streaming at. But this is a movie that I want to see sooner rather than later.

 

The Crown: This is a Netflix series. I doubt that I’ll be able to watch it ever or any time soon. It is available now. Jonny will be in the fifth season or series if you will. He will play the role of John Major. There’s not much else to say about it.

 

Lucy Liu: 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. She is also set to be in Shazam! Fury of the gods. Yet another thing she is doing in the future is The Invisibles.

 

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?

 

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.

 

Shazam! Fury of the gods: This is set for release on June 2, 2023. It is a sequel to the film Shazam and part of the DCEU. There is not a plot for this just yet. We’ll find out more about this in the future. I just hope that I’m able to see the first one if I like this.

 

The Invisibles: There is no release date for this yet. There also is no trailer either. But there is a plot for it. A man in a failing marriage starts to disappear and finds a new world of people who have disappeared like him as well. If I had to guess, he would overcome this problem, but maybe this won’t be the case after all? It might be nice to see for just that reason and if the movie’s ending is good.

 

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’ll also be in The Gettysburg Address, which I find unlikely since that already happened in the 1860s. He’ll also be in Spiked. Another thing he will be in is Blacklight. We’ll see what else he might appear in.

 

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 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 an unknown DVD release timeframe as of now. 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. It could be good if I see it. It is based on a true story. Here’s a trailer for it:

Thoughts on trailer: It is hard to gather as much from the trailer as I would like, but it does seem to be an interesting looking movie. I look forward to potentially seeing this and can only hope that this is interesting despite the trailer not being that detailed.

 

Blacklight: This is currently in theaters. This movie is about a conspiracy relating to a shady government operative that could cause issues in some ways. This has a trailer. I might as well talk about that now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPlCr1FFTZI

 

Thoughts on trailer: While this does look interesting, it also looks kind of like every other Liam Neeson movie that exists. Mixing in elements of Taken, we see Liam playing the typical badass because I don’t think that he’s allowed to play any other role in a movie as that’s against the natural law of the universe. I might like this, but hope that it keeps a plot and doesn’t forget it in all the action while also not just becoming just like every other action movie that you can already see.

 

Jon Michael Hill: He might finally be doing something, although I’m a bit unsure and not entirely clear for sure if he has a major role in it. But he is set to be in 61st Street. It is nice to finally see him in something worth covering for once.

 

61st Street: This doesn’t have a release date yet, but it does have a release year of 2022. It is about a high school athlete who winds up swept into the criminal justice system for some reason. There is a trailer for this now:

Thoughts on trailer: What’s the type of trailer that one could call this anyways? It seems a bit, analytical? I don’t think that’s the right word. I can’t make much out of this, but I guess that it’s supposed to be exciting, although I can’t tell why they don’t include more of the exciting parts other than just music that might not be in the final project.

 

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. I wonder what all he’ll show up in randomly. He is doing Twilight of the Gods. And he is in Star Trek: Prodigy. He does a lot.

 

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 2022. 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 unknown at the time. 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.

 

Twilight of the gods: There is no known plot for this at this point in time. It is set to be a TV series of some sort. The current release date is unknown. There is no trailer yet, either. So what else is worth keeping track of here for now? Not much.

 

Star Trek: Prodigy: This is currently on Paramount+. There is a trailer for this that I will talk about some. It is animated and seeks to use teens in a stolen vessel to explore the galaxy. It was renewed for a second season already.

Thoughts on trailer: A lot of trailers are like this. They look great and make the show look great, but are also cliché and generic. Plus, I don’t know if there is some rule that says that all Star Trek TV shows are only allowed on streaming. I’m sad that we will never see this discussed in an episode of The Big Bang Theory. Anyways, this show looks like it could be interesting, but I doubt that I’ll be able to see it.

 

Desmond Harrington: He is set to appear in a movie called Butterfly in the Typewriter, which I’ll explain in the next paragraph. There’s not much else that he is known to be doing right now. Maybe he’ll do more in the future. I’ll wait to see what it could be.

 

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.

 

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. He is also set to be in Escape Room: Tournament of Champions. That could be something that I want to see in the future. We’ll see what else he does.

 

The Jester from Transylvania: This has an unknown release date. 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. I just don’t now.

 

Escape Room: Tournament of Champions: This is a sequel to a previous movie. I have not yet seen the first movie, but will probably wait to see it until after I have seen this one. It may sound odd, but that’s the current plan. I won’t say any more about this just yet as there can be more revealed in due time. I might like this. We’ll see. It is on DVD now. There is a trailer for this:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlfUbZJVInA

 

Thoughts on trailer: This could be interesting, although it does look cliché in some places. I hope that I’m able to see this before too long. I won’t know how much free time I’ll have in the future for movies and if I’ll be able to see movies in theaters even if they are in that format in the future. I hope to see it soon as it could be a fun movie. I have not been able to see this yet. I’ll keep this in the updates until I’m able to see it in the future.

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 an episode of What We Do in the Shadows. I hope to see more of her in the future.

 

Kim Delaney: This only thing that she is doing right now is General Hospital. It is a soap that airs on ABC. I don’t know if I’ll be able to see it and review it. But I will include it in the updates for now. You might just see a review of this randomly at some point in the future.

 

General Hospital: This is a popular ABC soap that is very long running in a daytime show. I think that it relates to hospitals and is a drama like that in some way, shape, or form. Maybe if I see an episode, I’d know more what this is about and what makes it different than other shows like it.

 

Jorja Fox: While she isn’t doing anything since leaving CSI: Vegas as of yet (she does not have to at all by any means as she can retire from acting or simply do other jobs), I am going to include her in this blog now since she won’t be part of CSI: Vegas anymore.

 

Mel Rodriguez: I’m not sure why he left CSI: Vegas since they never gave his character much development. I mean, he could have stayed on until there was more they could give his character other than simply being the weird ME. And it doesn’t seem like he left this for any other job at the moment, but I’ll keep track of what’s happening with him from this point forward for the future.
