TOP NEWS

* Last week we reported that Deadpool 2 director Tim Miller left the production. Rumors are coming out that Miller wanted to triple the budget of the film making it more in line with other superhero movies while Ryan Reynolds and the writers of the first film wanted to keep it more in line with the humor and budget of the last film. There are rumors of replacement directors and the supposed top front runner is John Wick director, David Leitch.

* Did the dissatisfaction of the cliffhanger from The Walking Dead S6b affect viewership? A whooping 17 million people tuned in of which 10.7 million viewers were from the coveted 18-49 demographic. It didn't beat the record of 17.3 million for the S5 premier but it demolished the slump that the show found itself in last season.

* Parents Television Council president Tim Winter says The Walking Dead S7 premier delivered one of the most brutal scenes ever delivered on television. He believes the show should receive it's own rating.

* Ben Affleck has updated us on his progress for his Batman solo film.

SHOW TOPIC: BLACK MIRROR w/SPOILERS.

* New Trailers - Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 and Logan.

* Joss Whedon says he'd be down for directing a Star Wars film. He said that the confines of Marvel's creative direction burned him out but after seeing Lucasfilm's direction doing standalone films such as Rogue One he'd be interested. In the same interview Whedon also gives his opinion on the differences he sees between Marvel and DC movies: I did not see Suicide Squad. I saw Batman vs. Superman. Everybody's got their own method. I think Marvel has been more successful systematically. DC has been more cinematic---their stuff looks amazing---but I feel like Kevin [Feige, President of Marvel Studios] is a really good storyteller. He really cares about coherence, and I feel like style never defeats substance at Marvel, but a little style creeps in.

* Donald Glover officially cast as Lando Calrissian in the young Han Solo movie.

* Tim Miller leaves Deadpool 2 over creative differences. It's rumored that the studio has sided with Ryan Reynolds to keep the film raunchy while Miller wanted a more stylistic film via his own F/X company. They say the clash began over the casting of the characters Cable and Domino. Miller was behind Kyle Chandler (Super 8 and Friday Night Lights) to play Cable but allegedly Reynolds was against the choice.

* Earlier this year it was reported that Netflix made a loan for 2.3 billion for the purposes of creating original content. They just made another loan for an addition 800K for the same purposes. The company now has debt of over 3 billion but it's reporting that in 3 months it earned 2.1 billion in revenue. The company's plan is to eventually have 50% of its streams to be original content.
