Steven Spielberg casts Emily Blunt in next movie

Big maybe

But this MAY be a sequel to E.T. The Extraterrestrial.

In which case Blunt seems the right qualities for Spielberg’s “mom” roles (Melinda Dillion, Dee Wallace, Michelle Williams.)

The reason I think it’s E.T. is that Universal started making upgrades to the ET Adventure in Orlando, an opening day attraction that otherwise should be shut down due to aged technology and poor cultural relevance

She'll play ET, she has the face for it.

The other thing that Universal did is they just rolled out a new line of ET hats. A lot of attention suddenly being paid to ET.

Gorgeous, talented, successful. Wife, mother, international inspiration. She truly has it all!

Bravo, Emily 🥂.

Steven Spielberg has said many times he would never make a sequel to ET.

However, in 2019 he allowed Comcast to make a reunion commercial with Henry Thomas to shill their portfolio of companies.

The fact that Spielberg and Universal have been extremely quiet about the film other than acknowledging it’s about “UFOs” while refurbishing the attraction and creating new merchandise makes it very hard to believe this isn’t going to be ET.

I keep confusing Henry Thomas and James Fleet.

Also note the prime release date

Spielberg’s films have tended to open in the fall and Christmas in his autumnal stage

They are anticipating a big movie.

The primary reason for Spielberg making a sequel however would be the collapse of theatrical moviegoing

Those that remember ET best - those between the ages of 60 and 40 - are the ones who have abandoned theater going.

But I would also point out if it is ET, it will be a much darker film, as he choose David Koepp, the writer of Jurassic Park and War of the Worlds (and, oddly, two gay classics, Apartment Zero and Death Becomes Her.)

Ugh! American Jews and their Anglophilia.

I'm glad the Left is turning against Jews.

They need to be run out of Hollywood.

American Jews are so un-American.

If it's E.T., it's too bad Melissa Mathison passed away. She was the original screenwriter.

I was trying to get home one night but got lost with no transportation. I was crying into a bag of Reese’s Pieces when who should stop by and check on me but Dame Emily Blunt! I explained my situation and without a beat, she grabbed her BMX bike, told me to sit in the front basket, and…this is the weird part…the damned bike starting flying! We whisked by a full moon and she safely took me to my cul-de-sac in a non-descript California suburban neighborhood and flew away. “Turn on your heartlight!” she yelled as disappeared into the night sky. I never did figure out what the fuck a heartlight is…

Wake me when Glen Powell parachutes into his backyard holding his vintage E.T. lunchbox in one hand, and his demo reel in the other.

She’s quite talented but equally overexposed.

He always plays it safe. And boring. He especially likes children of celebrities.

by Anonymousreply 19June 13, 2024 8:37 PM

She's only good when she plays a cold, snarky bitch. In roles where she has to show an ounce of warmth, she's far from believable.

by Anonymousreply 20June 13, 2024 9:45 PM

Hollywood has a hard time looking inward and making change. They damn well know audiences don't like her. She's not talented, not pretty, certainly isn't opening any movies, and is a cold bitch.

The I Hate Emily Blunt Troll has made her entrance. Much like Pavlov’s Dog.

And like the strong, obese woman she is, she will NOT let this go unchecked!
