I've just seen that there's a new Dumbo film due for release very soon - and guess what - it's CGI!

To me, CGI to films is like autotune to music.

...Unless it's Toy Story. And Cher.

Speaking of which, Toy Story 4 is due quite soon.

I don't think we need another Toy Story film, do we?

A lot of people probably don't realise there's more than one.

Only on this forum is there news about Dumbo and Dido on the same day.

Or Dudo and Dimbo.


Lucky We're not talking about Dilbert eh? eh?


:boo:

Rita Moreno is to return to West Side Story almost 60 years after appearing in the original film version.

The 86-year-old, who won an Oscar for playing Anita in the 1961 film, will take up a role newly created for her in Steven Spielberg's adaptation.



Moreno will also serve as an executive producer on the film, set to begin shooting next summer.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I see myself revisiting this seminal work," the actress told Deadline.

"And to be asked by Steven Spielberg to participate is simply thrilling! Then to work together with the brilliant playwright, Tony Kushner - what a glorious stew! I am tingling!"

The actress, originally from Puerto Rico, is one of the few people to have gained EGOT status - meaning she has been awarded with an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.

She'll play the role of Valentina, which is based on the original character Doc - the owner of the corner store in which lead character Tony works.

Apparently the working title for the next James Bond film is Shatterhand.

What the world really needed was a CGI version of Dumbo.

BREAKING NEWS: There's a new Cats (musical) the movie due in December!

Executive produced by Steven Spielberg and starring delights such as James Corden, Judi Dench, Jason Derulo, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellen, Taylor Swift and Rebel Wilson.

...And of course music by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

What, no Elaine Paige?!

Do I detect part real life-part CGI?

Which of them gets to sing "Memory"?

Apparently, it's sung by a character called Grizabella, originally played by Elaine Paige, naturally, and now played by Jennifer Hudson.

Hasn't James Bond been recast with a one legged Black lesbian woman or something?

I did see the links on Youtube/papers but I couldn't be bothered clicking on them to be honest.

I thought that song was from the other musical, about the loveable fascist dictator's wife.

That Cats film isn't so much Uncanny Valley as Uncanny Horror Caves.

Is Richard Stilgoe involved?
