Morning, you

Flakes are back

Have a nice weekend?

Film and comics

  • Joss Whedon’s off the Wonder Woman movie.
  • Ghostbusters 3 is still happening. Both Dan Ackroyd and Bill Murray are up for it. But it’s going to be all-cg.
  • A new version of Barbarella is in the works.
  • Joel Schumacher wants to film Sandman.
  • The Flash has a new director.

Commercials

  • The Cadbury’s Flake ads are coming back on Friday. Directed by Jack “son of Ridley” Scott, they will focus “on the unique way of eating a Cadbury Flake: peeling back the wrapper and enjoying the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate in the world.” Ooh, top euphemism.

  • Rob Buckley

    I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
