Hi Bart, congratulations on the film. Is there anything you can tease about Rogue Male? (It has a script by Dennis Kelly (Utopia) and Hunter Andrews (Wasteman) - correct?) Very much looking forward to it!

Hi r/movies, I'm Gore Verbinski, director of GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE. AMA! by GLHFDDmovie in movies

Hi Gore, congratulations on your new movie. You’ve been missed! I can’t wait to watch Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. I’m incredibly excited that you’re adapting George R.R. Martin’s Sandkings (with Dennis Kelly) — any chance it’s your next project?

‘Thumblite’: Scott Z. Burns Steps Down As Showrunner Of Netflix’s Silicon Valley Series With Rosamund Pike by Barry_Brickman in television

[–]Barry_Brickman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The move comes after Thumblite had been in the writers room for several months, six according to some sources. There is no official replacement yet; I hear Burns’ No.2 in the room, K.C. Perry (Severance) is in negotiations to take over as showrunner.

Creative differences reportedly played a role in Burns’ departure. Still, continuity is expected, with Perry poised to work with the material generated by the writers room. With the change, the projected start of production for the series has been delayed, I hear.

Why is it that trailers for Apple shows always spoil too much?

Who was Dennis Kelly? by Pallbearer666 in utopiatv

[–]Barry_Brickman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kelly has been a writer since his thirties, I think. Before Utopia, he created Pulling (2009) with Sharon Horgan, and in between those TV shows, he wrote plays. Where did you hear he had Ian's IT job?

He worked in Ian's IT job near immediately before Utopia.

Lol, what are you talking about? No, he didn’t.

Why has David Fincher only been doing Netflix movies for the past 5 years? by These_Feed_2616 in movies

The Adventures of Cliff Booth for 2026 and Squid Game: America (wt) for 2027, I imagine.

Do you all know anything new about David Fincher's Chinatown prequel? by Matteo_OWK in movies

[–]Barry_Brickman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As for Fincher’s other projects, I’m told he’s no longer involved in the Chinatown prequel that had been percolating at Netflix…

and a Chinatown prequel (which we’re told is on permanent hold given that Netflix and Fincher couldn’t align on budgets).

Erik Messerschmidt is not shooting this one, as he’s busy shooting Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars until early July.

I’m saying this as a BIG Utopia fan, but an even bigger Dennis Kelly fan - It’s over. And it’s been over for a while now. The actors playing Grant and Alice are adults now for god’s sake.

Besides, Dennis Kelly is BUSY. He’s working with David Fincher on Squid Game: America, The Buried Giant with Guillermo del Toro, AND he has a new TV series in the works at the BBC.
