News Round-up 6 June 2015

I spent most of the week in a meeting room in Canary Wharf. Canary Wharf is weird. It’s also a pain to get to. Some colleagues and I were coming back from the restaurant to our hotel on Wednesday night and as walked under the big buildings, I started having The National’s wonderful “Mistaken for Strangers” playing in my head. It has been there since.

I had to have a proper catch up with the news of the past week this morning, so here is what I found interesting.

• Ron Perlman would like a third Hellboy. And so would I.
• Emily Blunt potentially in the adaptation of Girl On The Train.
• Idris Elba in anything the adaptation of The Alchemist.
• Chris Nolan explains the end of Inception. 
• Fantastic Four reboot will star Michael B Jordan (who was wonderful in Fruitvale Station) and, unsurprisingly, some people are annoyed.
• More criticism of Cameron Crowe’s cast for Aloha.
• Sophia Coppola will not be directing the Little Mermaid. I sad.
• No Tron sequel? That’s gotta be a good thing, right? 
• Andrew Garfield will definitely not be in the next Spiderman film, then :(
• New Arrested Development episodes next year!!!!
• If you haven’t played Uncharted and own a PS4, you HAVE to. These are brilliant games and the series will be out in October. 
• Keith Stuart on “the solitude of open-world games when the story is over”. Interesting read, as always. 

That's all, folks!
