David Tennant posts his exictement about the new Doctor Who tender invitation for producers: 'The new series should feel “contemporary and creatively ambitious”, balancing big science-fiction ideas with strong emotional storytelling, character and human experience. There should still be plenty of extraordinary times and places, from history and contemporary Earth to distant futures and alien worlds alongside jeopardy, tension and those classic 'back of the sofa' scares, while remaining suitable for a broad family audience." "Perhaps most importantly, the BBC is encouraging whoever takes over to embrace everything Doctor Who can be, ending its invitation to prospective producers with a wonderfully Doctor-ish instruction: 'Be brave, have fun.'" Do you trust these people to make Doctor Who great again?

Matt Reeves on The Batman Part II: the villain is "someone who has not been depicted in this manner in previous Batman films." Sebastian Stan. Harvey Dent. Systemic Gotham corruption. After The Riddler broke the city, what kind of monster do we meet next? #TheBatman

Directors Goldstein & Daley on their Star Trek reboot: a "real-time thriller inspired by Crimson Tide and Training Day" — new cast, set further into the future. No Kirk. No Picard. No Spock. Is that still Trek, or just a sci-fi thriller with the logo? #StarTrek60

Werner Herzog, legendary director, on an AI film built from his work: "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." Is an AI trained on a master's voice an homage, or theft?

Strange New Worlds writer Bill Wolkoff says it's great that Captain Pike embraced his feminine side: “It’s so beautiful how Anson, this paragon of masculinity, let himself be finally so I think more vulnerable than we’ve ever seen him on our show in front of in front of Deidre in a way that indicates that he spends all of his time being a father figure to the the members of his ship, and he is neglecting the things that he needs to really, you know, process and go through. And I think it’s just powerful for for men to see somebody like that cry.” Is this how a spaceship military captain should be?

Adam Wingard, director of Godzilla vs. Kong and its sequel, on walking away from the MonsterVerse: "I felt like I was losing my voice, and I felt like people didn't know who I was as a director anymore." Was keeping his own voice worth giving up the franchise?
