Here's the Scoop...
A couple of new trailers are out and I must say...they don't look half bad.
There's 'The Girl on the Train' and 'The Magnificent Seven'. Both trailers look good which might mean that the movies will be good as well, but you never know.
We've been burned before. I'm talking to you 'Superman Returns'!
Be Well,
Steve

Joss Whedon: 'I was so beaten down by the process' of 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'
Avengers: Age of Ultron director Joss Whedon talked about his time working on the superhero epic and how he's still proud of his work despite any issues with Marvel.
"Ultron, I'm very proud of. There were things that did not meet my expectations of myself and then I was so beaten down by the process," Whedon said Monday alongside Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo during a roundtable discussion at the Tribeca Film Festival.
"Some of that was conflicting with Marvel, which is inevitable and a lot of that was about my own work and I was also exhausted, and we right away went and did publicity," he continued before mentioning how he regrets the negative remarks he made about the film leading up to its release.
"I created the narrative - wherein I'm not quite accomplished at - and people just ran with (about Ultron) 'Well it's OK, it could be better, but it's not Joss' fault' and I think that did a disservice to the movie, and to the studio and to myself. Ultimately, it wasn't the right way to be because I'm very proud about it," he explained.
The whole ordeal made the filmmaker want to take a break from Hollywood. "I took a two-week vacation for the first time in 25 years, except for the four month vacation where I wrote the Buffy musical. I set out to accomplish nothing," Whedon said of what he did following Ultron.
"I begged him to do Avengers 3 and 4, Hulk 3, Thor 3 and Quasimodo, and he said, I'll never do it again," Ruffalo told the audience. "I was getting worried about you, but you're back."
Whedon also left the door open to someday potentially return to the Marvel cinematic universe speaking with Deadline after the roundtable and mentioning that he isn't close minded on taking on another Marvel project. "It was just five years of my life," said Whedon about working on back-to-back Avengers movies.
LOOSE LIPS:
"When I was living on Robertson [Boulevard], it was like paparazzi central. I was living right behind Kitson. And every time I'd go to the gym or go eat, every paparazzi would ask me questions and I would be like: 'Hey guys!' Like, I so wanted the attention."

New Line Cinema plans on producing a new film based on iconic television series, Three's Company.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the production company is currently in negations to acquire the rights to Three's Company and have already hired He's Just Not That Into You screenwriters Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein to pen the project.
Veteran Hollywood producer Robert Cort (Cocktail, Runaway Bride) is also attached. New Line Cinema is reportedly planning on setting the adaptation in the 1970s.
Starring John Ritter, Joyce De Witt and Suzanne Somers, Three's Company originally aired from 1977 to 1984 on ABC. Considered a television classic, the comedy followed Jack Tripper (Ritter) as he pretended to be gay in order to let the trio's landlord allow him to live with Janet Wood (DeWitt) and Chrissy Snow (Somers).

Which former SNL stars and best friends said that they won't release a TV series together?
Tina Fey and best friend Amy Poehler have no plans to release a TV series.
Fey, 45, explained why she and Poehler, 44, don't work together more at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival on Tuesday. Fey and Poehler are longtime collaborators known for Saturday Night Live and Mean Girls.
"We're regarded as a comedy team, which is totally fine by me," Fey acknowledged. "People sometimes used to say, 'Why don't you guys do a series together?' or whatever."
"The funny thing is that I think we both know this to be true, it's because we're actually both alphas," she explained. "So, it works in short spurts, but I don't know if it would make a real dynasty."
Fey and Poehler met in the early 1990s and worked together on SNL from 2001 to 2006. The pair have since starred in the 2008 comedy Baby Mama and released their latest movie, Sisters, in December.
"[It's] very easy, very, very easy [to work with your best friend," Poehler said in the January issue of Glamour. "There's usually this moment at the beginning of a film when you have to go out for dinner and talk to the person and be like, 'How do you like to work?'"
"My mom always says it's very important to have people in your life who knew you when," she added of her friendship with Fey. "The older you get, the more you treasure that idea of someone knowing your family and where you came from."
Fey and Poehler instead keep busy with their respective projects. Fey created and executive produces the Netflix series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and is developing a musical adaptation of Mean Girls. Poehler will next star in The House with Will Ferrell.
