On the Surface of the Sun aka Florida in the Summer.
Hopefully this means Rebecca Furgeson will be in it... or... was there anyone else in the Dune movies?
Im sure he could snag some of the other actors... Who did we have? There was the kid from Interstellar, Thanos/Cable, Elvis Presley, Draxx, Aquaman, and MJ from Spiderman...

Ok, I know you’re joking, but I’m now genuinely hoping that we get Oscar Isaac as Felix Leiter!
Rebecca Ferguson wouldn’t be a terrible choice for Moneypenny either.

I utterly love those films - they are the Dr Who I grew up on .
Now I feel a bit silly, as that's a three-year-old video...

Fourth film in the Has Fallen series, with this one going direct to streaming on Netflix...

First three are good fun, and I think the first one is based on a ‘wargames what-if’ on how the White House might be successfully attacked? Either this one or White House Down.

The behind the scenes for Olympus Has Fallen said it was originally a sci-fi movie involving aliens. I wonder when the aliens became North Koreans?

Straight to Netflix? Sigh. Really makes you wonder at the future of movies in general. If no one pays to watch this stuff anymore, they're just gonna stop making them.

But I AM paying to see it - via my Netflix subscription....
Wich now costs slightly more in order to avoid the adds.

It’s not like direct to video sequels weren’t a thing in the past.

Here's hoping that this one does better than The Fall Guy
This is definitely NOT Ahnold's Running Man...

When it was first announced, and talked about here, that Edgar Wright was doing The Running Man it was stated that it was based on the book, not the 80s film that only had the "killer game show" as a connection.

Michael Cera doesn't get a lot of parts that allow him to kill people so you be nice and let him have this moment.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.
Even the Cornetto Trilogy is honestly very up and down.
To me Hot Fuzz is the best without question; then Shawn of the Dead and then the other one that I forget the name of entirely but felt just - lacking and like it had one joke it overplayed. Then in the last few minutes they tease the end of the world and that looked way more interesting than the pub crawl we'd watched

World's End. It's definitely the weakest of the 3. The other two are both superb and mostly a matter of taste.
The only one of those I really like is Hot Fuzz. Shawn of the Dead starts strong but the second half is boring and makes the whole movie a forgettable experience for me. Worlds End also started strong, but really shat the bed in the second half.
Did Edgar Wright make Spaced? That would be another I put in his win column.
