Yeah, I knew that, which in turn made me think they maybe were bought out for cheap. It would make sense to buy a company with the infrastructure already in place rather than starting one from the ground up.

Variety reports that La Bamba is to be remade. My first thought was “why not just say that it’s a new biopic of Richie Valens?”, but with the original director being onboard, it looks like they are going to pitch and make it as a reboot of the 1987 film. I wonder will they cast someone more age-appropriate (he was 17 when he died)? https://variety.com/2024/film/news/la-bamba-remake-development-mucho-mas-media-sony-1236116753/?
Huh... I honestly thought that show was done and they were going to go with the Matt McConaughey thing. Well... cool, then.

I think the main thing Paramount hates is that Yellowstone is streaming on Peacock instead of Paramount Plus, which is why they were talking spinoff rather than continuation. Only Yellowstone goes to Peacock while everything else that's part of the Yellowstone universe is staying at Paramount Plus. NBC Universal got the streaming rights prior to Paramount trying to make a go of their own streaming service.
The McConaughey spinoff never materialized. But they are making a new show set in the same world starring Kurt Russell and Michelle Pfeiffer.
Michael Crichton’s estate is suing John Wells, Noah Wyle and WB over a series called The Pitt, which it is alleged began life as a sequel to ER. It certainly sounds more than a little familiar, but perhaps that’s just the involvement of a 30-years-older Doctor Carter, sorry, I mean Noah Wyle. https://deadline.com/2024/08/michae...ton-surgically-scrubbed-from-deal-1236051535/
I'm hoping against all odds that they will one day resurrect Dark Crystal.
I would love to see them bring back "My So Called Life" and show us where they are today. I see Angela and Brian married and with kids. Living a suburban life. Enrique is living in San Francisco and is a teacher. Jordan Catalano works at a gas station and is married but divorced. Also with a kid. Rayanne works as a nurse. Also has married and divorced. Spent a few years in jail. Sharon is principal of their old high school. Danielle has gotten married and is a housewife to some rich guy living in Colorado. Patty and Graham are retired and living in Florida . Camille has a job on the school board.
Those are oddly specific.
Is the plan still to make the second half of season 5 (with Costner) or not?
I thought it was a done deal that he was out, but stranger things have happened in Hollyweird, so... 
Internet search says they started filming in May without Costner and the season will start airing Nov. 10.
