Star Wars: Rogue One Reshoot Director Is Writing Cassian Andor Disney+ Show 16 Oct, 2019 Tony Gilroy is returning to Star Wars after his involvement in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story's reshoots to write and direct episodes of the Cassian Andor Disney+ show. As the second movie from Lucasfilm under Disney's leadership, Rogue One's difficulties through production are well chronicled. The movie went through extensive reshoots late in the game to reshape most of the third act. These were handled by Tony Gilroy primarily, with original director Gareth Edwards still involved. All of the turmoil was worth it in the end though, as Rogue One was well-received and made over $1 billion worldwide.

Dr. Dolittle's adventures have been adapted for multiple forms of media, although the most famous tend to be his appearances in live-action film. Rex Harrison starred in 1967's initial Doctor Dolittle film, a musical.

Crisis on Infinite Earths May Include Tom Ellis as Lucifer 13 Oct, 2019 The already sprawling cast of the upcoming Arrowverse crossover, Crisis on Infinite Earths, just got devilishly more so - with Lucifer star Tom Ellis reportedly joining the action. The annual crossover has become a staple of the DC/CW shared-universe. This year's event will ambitiously attempt to adapt Marv Wolfman's seminal 1985 storyline and is set to air across five hours. The saga will see the heroes of Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and Batwoman unite to combat the multiverse-destroying threat of the Anti-Monitor. They will also be joined in that endeavor, for the first time, by the cast of Black Lightning and many more. The impending adventure was more recently seeded in The Flash's season 6 premiere. Ellis, meanwhile, debuted as the titular fallen angel back in 2016. Despite initially mixed reviews, critical reception warmed across the show's initial three seasons. Unfo...
