Hollywould: ‘The Walking Dead,’ ‘Kitty Pryde,’ and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’
 |
The film and television business moves at a mile a minute, so keeping up with the latest news can be a little daunting. Not to worry—we have your back. In Hollywould, we’ll round up the industry developments you need to know. Here’s what you may have missed:
The Walking Dead
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lauren Cohan mentioned the possibility of a Maggie-led spinoff at AMC.
“There may have been some conversations, but everything is so early-days ambiguous. Me, as much as anybody, we’ll have to see what happens.”
Alias & Lost
ABC President, Karey Burke, revealed her interest in reviving Alias and Lost while speaking at the Television Critics Association:
“It’s literally at this point just what I dream about when I go to bed at night. I have not spoken to [executive producers] Carlton [Cuse] or J.J. [Abrams] or ABC Studios about it. But I do often get asked the question what show would I reboot and often my answer is Lost — sometimes Alias. Nothing to report yet. Maybe ever. But it would be a fun thing to have a conversation about.”
Kitty Pryde
Writer Brian Michael Bendis claims that an X-Men spinoff featuring the character Kitty Pryde is still in production:
Yeah, I’m working on it right now. It’s vvvvvvvery surreal and delightful to be so deep inside the X mansion and the fortress of solitude at the same time https://t.co/trsQtX4rS9

Last Night in Soho
Anya Taylor-Joy has joined the cast of Edgar Wright’s upcoming psychological horror project, per Variety.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
No, Taika Waititi isn’t going to direct it:
“For me, those are James [Gunn]’s films. Going into something like that with his stamp all over his films, would be like going into someone’s house and saying ‘Hey, I’m your new dad, and this is how we make peanut butter sandwiches now. It feels kind of awkward.”
Birds of Prey
Set photos? Set photos…
We have SO MANY amazing new photos of Margot Robbie in character as Harley Quinn on the set of #BirdsOfPrey! https://t.co/4yptzXZQBS
