Warner Brothers is reportedly starting work on a Gremlins animated series. CBR is reporting that the series will be going to their
yet-to-be-named streaming app that should be out sometime this year. No release date has been set just yet for the show. Though
with the reported reboot movie somewhere in the works for the last 3 years, it will likely be released in association with that.

Speaking of movies turning into TV series, the CW is reportedly moving forward with their Lost Boys reboot series. Production Weekly released the series synopsis and it sounds pretty close to the original. So it might not fail.

Next we have a couple quickie bits. First is Luke Wilson has been cast in an undisclosed role in Zombieland 2. Second, Space Jam 2 is set to be released July 16, 2021

Then we have an interesting piece from Ezra Miller on the state of the Flashpoint movie. During a recent press tour when he was asked about the Flash movie, he said that they were working on making the movie a "gift for the fans." He also implied that the movie will not only tie together the DCEU (you know that thing that WB keeps saying they don't really care about anymore) but it will also tie in ALL the DC movie universes to date. Everything from Christopher Reeves to Christopher Nolan...

And our final bit of news comes from Kevin Fiege via CinemaBlend. Feige told the outlet that the James Gunn script will in fact be used for Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. Though he went on to say that the rumors of Gunn's involvement and control of anything beyond Guardians has been "blown out of proportion." Killing the fanboy expectations across the country.
