Do we bring up Grace Jones quitting or not?

I mean Rebecca Ferguson is too old to play Ariel at this point.
That would be quite the twist for Mission: Impossible 7 for her to dress up as a mermaid for an underwater scene.
Not that I wouldn't welcome it.

He’ll win the fanboys back when he adds The Snowman in the sequel.
Johnson ought to remake The Snowman outright. Even if people don't like him, he's bound to do a better job than the Fassbender one.

GdT's last two feature films had period settings. Now his last movie won Best Picture, he's lining up an A-list lead, the studio will probably be a little more generous with the budget. The mentalist angle would fit into any time, I think, but the carnival aspect works best as an element of years gone by. Plus, the fashions of the 1940s are great for this genre, neo-noir just doesn't have the same style.
I looked up how old the actresses from the original film were in 1947: Joan Blondell (Zeena) was 41, Coleen Gray (the girlfriend) was 25, Helen Walker (the psychologist) was 27! The girlfriend probably has to stay youngish, and it would make sense if the carnival veteran seems older than the male lead. I think there is flexibility with the age range for the psychologist. People now would look askance at today's 27-year-old actresses as such a character (not that this always stops Hollywood), but someone mid-30s or older should work.
Carey Mulligan or Alicia Vikander as the girlfriend, Jessica Chastain as Zeena, and Rachel Weisz as the psychiatrist?

I predict the next Bond will be somebody who is not even on the radar right now.
Given the series' track record on that front, that's a pretty strong possibility. Connery, Lazenby, Dalton, Craig-none of them were A-list or the obvious choices when they were cast. Brosnan probably qualifies too, seeing as bar Mrs. Doubtfire, his career went downhill after Remington Steele got canned.
In my view, anyone who's currently attached to a major blockbuster franchise or has been attached to a franchise in the past ten years in a major role, and/or anyone with an Oscar nomination, should be disqualified from consideration.
Which rules out Hiddleston, Elba, Fassbender, Hardy, Firth, Madden, Hemsworth, Radcliffe, Egerton and Ejiofir.
Personally, I'd pick Jack Lowden.

Given that The Irishman's budget sounds like it's out of control (first $125m, then $140m, then $175m), Scorsese had better keep a tighter grip on the budget this time.
I personally think Shutter Island's budget would be a good fit for this film ($80 million).

Apparently, Rami Malek's already shot some of his scenes.

Isnt the sun a tabloid magazine?
Not if you're from Liverpool, they call it 'scum'.

Searching up Cary Fukunaga gets you articles on this from only the Daily Express, Daily Mail, and The Sun, which are the three big UK right-wing newspapers ( I mean they really are tabloids). I really can't find any articles on this from anywhere else. I am pretty sure it's all just BS.
If the Sun wants further corroboration they can always hack into Cary's phone.

Also, Bradley Cooper is doing a movie about Leonard Bernstein.
I heard about that one a few months ago. I believe Spielberg's producing it with Scorsese.

Spielberg really should work with some other cinematographer than Janusz Kaminski (I assume he's doing this one too?). His style fits well for many dramas and such but stuff like Indiana Jones or West Side Story, not so much.
According to Empire, it's Kaminski. Weirdly enough, IMDb doesn't have anyone listed as a cinematographer.
As for potential replacements for Kaminski, I'm drawing blanks. It can't be Deakins or Lubezki, because they're pro-digital and Spielberg's pro-film. Maybe van Hoytema or John Schwartzman.

Is it the CGI thing or are there more issues?
I think it's the CGI thing, and because of that, scheduling conflicts, since this project was meant to start shooting this year.
DiCaprio's going to start shooting Nightmare Alley this September with Guillermo del Toro, so Killers of the Flower Moon definitely won't be starting this year.
-
I think it's safe to say this one's in development hell for the time being thanks to Scorsese's problems with The Irishman.
Hopefully, we'll see the cameras rolling next year.

What this definitely means is that this is one del Toro project that won't be bogged down in development hell (The Shape of Water being such a hit probably helped get it fast-tracked). I'm guessing there'll be a late-2020 release at the earliest.
He's also supposed to do Pinocchio for Netflix, but given the nature of stop-motion, he can always shoot both simultaneously (he also has a co-director which will ease the pressure), and I think Pinocchio's set for 2021 anyway.

Best movie of the year so far?
For me, definitely. Bear in mind I need to see more movies (that's not an insult towards this film, but more aimed at my own budgetary limits).

I'll be curious to see which of WB's fall dramas Motherless Brooklyn, Torrance and potentially Just Mercy will get the awards push. The Good Liar could sneak in there if it's good.
Just Mercy's scheduled for January 2020, and I've nothing about plans for a limited release before then.

The source material is dated as shit.
And how did Mary Poppins Returns do?
West Side Story's budget will most likely be only half that of Mary Poppins Returns ($130 million) at the most (I'm thinking $40-55 million range), so if it does as well at the box office as Returns did ($172 million domestically, $177 million overseas, $349 million worldwide), it'll be performing a lot better.
And a source material about gang violence and Latino race relations doesn't sound that dated to me.

Chung-hoon Chung is doing the cinematography, Paul Machliss is editing, and Marcus Rowland is production designer.

I'm cautiously optimistic right now:
Optimistic, because I have no doubt, if everything goes perfectly script-wise, Spielberg could dive straight into pre-production on Indy V this autumn/fall once he wraps shooting on West Side Story and then begin shooting this time next year and make the current release date.
Cautious, because this is now the third writer and story this film's gone through in this past 3 years with little progress being made.

I feel bad for him, breaking the ankle.
I also hope that this doesn't affect shooting too much and that Craig gets to end his time on a film that's at least repeatedly watchable (the same cannot be said for his predecessor).

I just really don't think a December release would hurt this that much. I think whatever effect the "season" has on it, will be offset by the weekday holds.
Avatar 2's been delayed a year-it could fit in and do well (Spielberg's West Side Story and Croods 2 are the only films there right now).
1 hour ago, Barnack said:First one was rumored on the cheap side for a super hero movie, Will Smith previous SH movie Hancock was around 200 million net in 2019 dollar.
The first one was $175 million, which is slightly below the average MCU/DCEU budget (it kinda shows a little too).
I still think it's a little too much to spend on what is essentially The Supervillain Dirty Dozen. Warner could've probably saved a couple of million (and maybe make just as much) just by cutting the Enchantress out and going for something like that.

I was wondering if he would or not, and that his denials were just trying to throw people off.
