John Wick 5
During a recent interview with /Film, Chad Stahleski stated he hopes U.S. 'relations will improve' with China before John Wick 5 goes behind cameras.
I will tell you as much as I know, which isn't much. Look, we have an inkling to it … I can't tell you what John Wick 5 is about because we haven't quite got it all down. We have thoughts, I have a thematic…you can tell I love '70s movies. We've done a lot of rock and roll fable stuff from number two, we've done the mythical David Lean of number three and four, and the Samurai and Leone and the Bertolucci in number two, and the Tarkovsky in number three. You can see all my influences. I'm a huge fan of Wong Kar-Wai, Zhang Yimou, Tsui Hark, John Woo, of course. So, I think no matter what, I think there's going to be an influence of Chinese cinema. We did so much of Kurosawa, and all the other Japanese directors, and what we love to do with the Samurai films of Zatoichi and Kurosawa and all that. So, I'd like to explore that kind of realm.
Now that the world is changing a little bit, I think hopefully, relations will improve and continue to improve between us and China, which will allow us the opportunity to explore locations over there, but I'd like to bring that kind of storytelling in, its my tribute back to the Matrixes and all my, early Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yeun Biao, Tsui Hark, and all the other great ones. And then I'd still like to — I really love the Middle East, I love David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia, I love all that. So, I think there's more storytelling to be…I like old cultural stuff, and I think China, Africa, and the Middle East holds some of the best history, human history. So, I'd like to explore all those areas as well.
Killing Faith
Bloody-Disgusting also reports Killing Faith, the upcoming 'supernatural western' starring Guy Pearce, DeWanda Wise, Bill Pullman and Joanna Cassidy has been rated R for 'strong violent content, grisly images, drug use, sexual assault and some language.'
Jurassic World Rebirth
Here's a quick teaser for the new Jurassic Word Rebirth trailer coming tomorrow.
The Sound
A group of rock climbers 'come face to face with a malevolent force that quickly turns their expedition into a harrowing battle for survival' in the first teaser for The Sound.
The Bondsman
According to Deadline, Amazon has canceled Kevin Bacon's The Bondsman after one season.
The Last of Us
HBO has released a trailer for 'Every Last One Of Them,' next week's second season finale of The Last of Us.
Doctor Who
Finally, the Rani releases a PSA about her history with the Doctor while an intangible, skeletal beast stalks Notting Hill in a brief clip from 'Wish World,' this week's episode of Doctor Who.

Book Review: A diary sends a woman on a quest to solve the cold case of 6 missing Black girls

At age 13, Sydney Singleton discovered an old photograph tucked away in a drawer in her paternal grandmother's guest room. It was a portrait of a Black girl just entering her teen years — a girl who looked a lot like Sydney. Next morning, Sydney asked her grandmother about it. The woman, her voice 'firm as the oak tree on her front lawn,' would say only this: 'We don't talk about Carol.' Two decades later, Sydney, now a married woman in her mid-30s, flies from her Los Angeles home to Raleigh, North Carolina, to help prepare her late grandmother's home for sale. There, she and her younger sister, Sasha, find the photograph again. They also find Carol's diary concealed above a ceiling panel in the guest room closet. So begins Kristen L. Berry's fine debut novel, 'We Don't Talk About Carol,' a tale that is at once an exploration of family secrets, a 60-year-old cold case investigation and a damning indictment of the short shrift missing Black girls get from both the authorities and the media. Carol, it turns out, was Sydney's late father's older sister. Her diary, written when she was about 16, reveals that she had an older boyfriend, aspired to be a singer and planned to run away to Detroit to try out with Motown. Carol's family, believing the child had run off, never filed a missing person report. So Sydney, a former investigative reporter, feels compelled to discover what happened to the aunt she never knew existed. Before long, she learns that Carol was one of six Black teenage girls who disappeared from the same Raleigh neighborhood 60 years ago and were dismissed as runaways by the police. Sydney's investigation promptly turns into a quest to learn the fates of all of them. Along the way, she finds allies among the missing girls' families, cold crime podcast enthusiasts and a Raleigh homicide detective. The result is a well-written, emotionally wrenching tale about the generational consequences of evil, the meaning of family and what a single dedicated woman can accomplish. After the diary is discovered, the plot unfolds slowly as the author introduces us to Sydney's suicidal father, her emotionally distant mother and her struggle to conceive a baby with her loving husband, Malik. The pace could lead some readers to abandon the book, but don't. The tale soon picks up speed, taking readers through propulsive a series of revelations, the most sunning of which involves Carol's fate. ___ Bruce DeSilva, winner of the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Award, is the author of the Mulligan crime novels including 'The Dread Line.' ___ AP book reviews:
