- Last minute rumor: Heroic Hollywood is reporting that Colin Trevorrow is set to direct Star Wars: Episode IX.
- We all knew it was coming, but the first news from Comic Con is out: Ben Affleck will direct the next stand-alone Batman movie (probably within the next three years), with a script by DC Comics writer Geoff Johns.
- There’s some cool Batman v Superman photo stuff over at Entertainment Weekly.
- Heroic Hollywood has another hot rumor, suggesting that Rachel McAdams may have been offered the female lead in Doctor Strange.
- Essence reports that Ava DuVernay will not be directing Black Panther, and will instead be pursuing further independent projects.
- Marisa Tomei has been offered the role of Aunt May in the new Spider-Man film series, with potential of appearing in Captain America: Civil War.
- A Han Solo prequel was announced by StarWars.com with Phil Lord and Chris Miller attached and confirmed to direct; Darth Vader will torment heroes in Star Wars: Rogue One; and Donnie Yen is rumored to be joining the space operatic franchise.
- Andy Garcia, Cecily Strong, and Michael K. Williams join the Ghostbusters reboot; and there’s also reported to be a villain in the mix (played by Rowan Elgin).
- Variety reports Fantastic Beasts may have found their Queenie (I don’t know who that is either).
- A Cujo remake is happening, using the newly created acronym C.U.J.O. (because we don’t have enough movies about dogs with acronyms for names). The title stands for Canine Unit Joint Operation (and no, this isn’t going to be a Syfy original; it will be released in theaters, which means that Hollywood has truly gone to the dogs).

In a perfect world, we’d be getting another Gremlins movie from Joe Dante instead of a Despicable Me spin-off of sentient chicken nuggets.
