One last glimpse into Hollywood’s hoped-for future
Yo ho no!
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 6
Crushing news for the world’s rum suppliers. Disney are preparing to retool the tired-looking Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise – and that means consigning Johnny Depp’s turn as lurching, smokey-eyed brigand Captain Jack Sparrow to the sunless depths. The move will reportedly save them over $90 million, which is a hell of a lot of shipwrecked doubloons, you must agree. Why, you could surely afford five Russell Brands for that kind of money, and still have a little left over for a Sacha Baron Cohen or two. Deadpool gag-smiths Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are now crafting a considerably cheaper screenplay for the sixth entry in the swashbuckling saga. “We want to bring in a new energy and vitality,” president of production Sean Bailey tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I love the [Pirates] movies but part of the reason Paul and Rhett are so interesting is that we want to give it a kick in the pants. And that’s what I’ve tasked them with.”
Frak to the Future!

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga
The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
