-A new report from Vulture says Phil Lord and Chris Miller shot “more than 30 takes” for some scenes on Solo: A Star Wars Story, and a first assistant director had to step in and handle directing duties on some of the scenes due to their lack of preparation. Also, when Ron Howard came onboard there were reportedly no script changes; he just did “scene for scene do-overs” of what they’d already shot. But sure Hollywood, keep handing the keys for blockbuster franchises to inexperienced dudes instead of women who could actually get it right the first time…

-On the one hand, I’ve heard that the last half of Avengers: Infinity War is basically a Black Panther sequel, which sounds amazing. On the other hand, there’s reports that the film rests on Vision and Scarlet Witch’s romance, which is much less amazing.
-I saw Love, Simon in theatres last weekend and was totally charmed by it. So was Kristen Bell, apparently. She bought out a theater so as many people as possible could see it.
–Ed Norton‘s production company is being sued over the death of a fireman on the set of his new movie.
-Here’s Brie Larson training for her Captain Marvel role. Yes, she’s doing a close grip and yes, she’s using her legs, but it took me two years at the gym to manage three of these. Two years!
-This is a really good examination of the Ready Player One backlash and how to view it in the context of our post-GamerGate world.
