Charles already declared Alien: Earth 'one of this year's strongest new shows,' so I wasn't shocked by how much I liked its debut. I was surprised by the scale of its sets, and this featurette has more detail about how they managed that by filming outside in Bangkok.

Deadpool Confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday Cast, But There's a Twist

Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool is ready to make the leap into the world of ensemble MCU movies, but there will be a slight twist when he arrives in Avengers: Doomsday. What is Deadpool's role in Avengers: Doomsday? According to a new report from THR in their latest Heat Vision newsletter, it was confirmed that Reynolds would be appearing in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. The news comes just a few days after Reynolds teased his appearance in a new post on Instagram. However, his confirmation comes with a bit of a twist. According to THR's Aaron Couch and Borys Kit, fans shouldn't 'expect him to actually be joining the Avengers team.' It's unclear what his role will be in the film, but it sounds like he'll be doing his traditional Deadpool thing and being as chaotic as ever.

'Freakier Friday' director wants to see these hunks in each other's bodies for next film

The director of Freakier Friday is already brainstorming for a third film, and her ideas definitely lend themselves to a pretty freaky outcome! The long-awaited sequel to the 2003 Disney film starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis hit theaters earlier this month. While the first movie (one of four film adaptations of a children's novel) centers around mom and daughter accidentally swapping bodies, the sequel gets a little more complicated. Adding a third generation into the mix, Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) swap bodies with Anna's daughter, Harper (Julia Butters), and soon-to-be stepdaughter, Lily (Sophia Hammons). Also in the mix are Manny Jacinto as Eric, Anna's fiancé, and Chad Michael Murray, reprising his role as Anna's ex-boyfriend, Jake. So what would a Freakiest Friday look like? "I mean, more swaps, right?" director Nisha Ganatra recently told ScreenRant. "Probably a six-way swap. We'd definitely have Manny Jacinto and Chad Michael Murray switching places. We all need that!" Ganatra is hardly the first person to ruminate on what Freakiest Friday might look like. Folks on the internet have already been busy tossing their own ideas — and worries — into the mix. "Freakiest Friday should be that scene from Scooby-Doo (2002) where everyone keeps switching bodies for 100 mins" "Pitching Freakiest Friday, where the mind swaps keep progressing up and down the lineage. A girl in 2050 swaps minds with her great great grandmother in 1910. The mind of a wizened matron of the Bell Beakers is swapped with her prehensile tailed zero-G adapted spacer descendent" "freakiest friday will complete the trilogy -- chad michael murray has gone full villain. he successfully seduces JLC and ends her marriage. then changes body w hilary duff, and reignites the old feud by stalking and barraging lilo w vague threats" "Third movie: Freakiest Friday Fourth movie: Freaky 4 Friday Fifth movie: Freaky 5day" "I don't know how much fun Freakiest Friday will be in another 20-some years when Lohan's character is suffering early onset dementia and Curtis's character is dead." Curtis and Lohan have also both weighed in on the future of the Freaky Friday franchise in recent months. During an interview with Today FM, Curtis expressed an interest in completing the trilogy with a fourth generation involved. "If Harper has a child, and/or Lily, or if both of them have children and they're both 15, and I'm a great grandma, Lindsay would be a grandma," she suggested. "What a trilogy for Disney to have, right?" Meanwhile, when asked about the possibility of a third film happening, Lohan seemed optimistic. "Between Jamie and I, it's pretty real," she said.

Doris Lockhart Saatchi, 88, Critic and Collector of Cutting-Edge Art, Dies

Doris Lockhart Saatchi, an American-born collector of contemporary art and art writer who played a leading role in giving movements like Minimalism and Pop Art wide exposure in both Britain and the United States, died on Aug. 6 in London. She was 88. Her death, in a hospital, was confirmed by her longtime nurse, Mary Ann Paydoen, who said the cause was chronic kidney disease and other ailments. Ms. Saatchi lived in the Belgravia section of London. It was in the 1970s that she and her husband at the time, the British advertising executive Charles Saatchi, began assembling what The New Criterion magazine described in 1986 as 'one of the finest collections' of contemporary art in the world, buying hundreds of works by artists like Donald Judd, Brice Marden, Andy Warhol, Robert Ryman and Carl Andre. A year earlier, in 1985, the couple had opened a museum for their collection in a converted paint storage warehouse in the North London neighborhood of St. John's Wood. It quickly became a leading showcase for contemporary artists on both sides of the Atlantic, from 'shallow-spaced and gleaming, smooth-surfaced art to an art of porous surfaces, flickering light, and a shifting space,' the art critic Sanford Schwartz wrote in The New Criterion. With Mr. Saatchi's money — he had made his fortune in part as the adman who helped make Margaret Thatcher prime minister of Britain — and his wife's discerning eye, the couple had the resources to give modernist art exceedingly wide visibility in both Britain and America.
