NEW MUTANTS Casting Begins

The first two members of the big screen New Mutants have been cast, with Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams set to play Wolfsbane and The Witch/Split actress Anya Taylor Joy cast as Magick, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Williams later acknowledged the casting via Twitter.

Writer/director Josh Boone reportedly began talks with the two actresses last year, but couldn't confirm the casting until the film was fully greenlit. When rumors of the pair being cast quickly spread at the time, 20th Century Fox seemingly shot down the idea, but the studio - and Williams - left the door open for a later confirmation.

The report also states that the studio is conducting a wide search for "ethnically appropriate actors" to play characters such as Sunspot and Dani Moonstar, to most accurately reflect the characters from the page on the screen.

Although this fulfills previous rumors of the two being cast for New Mutants, THR's Borys Kit tweeted separately that a third rumored casting - Nat Wolff as Cannonball - is "not happening."

New Mutants is scheduled for an April 13, 2018 release.

She is a GREAT actress, by the way. I loved her performances in the last few films she was in.

I could've sworn it was originally announced over a year ago that Arya Stark was gonna star in this film.

Black people watch a lot of traditional TV. I've there was a study that said we watch more than any other ethnic group. However, I can't swear to that because I haven't read the actual study.

With that said, yeah, it's out fault. We don't turn out for anything that isn't hood or race related. In that way we are like working class Trump voters; we are out own worst enemies.

Of course it got cancelled. A good sci-fi show that depicted POC throught history as heroes they were and had an IR relationship in the mix, you knew no one was going to watch it.

The Lone Ranger inspired by a black man? Josephene Baker spying for the Allied forces in WW2? A billionaire black man co-invents a time machine? The pilot of said time machine is a brilliant resourcful nerdish black guy? Why would anyone, especially black people, watch that?

They should've thrown in some hood niggas or a side plot about drugs in the projects and at least black people would've tuned in weekly. That's all we want to see about ourselves.

R.I.P Timeless and Rosewood.

If the network stuck with this show a little bit longer I think it would have caught on.
Seinfeld wasn't a hit out the box either and in the beginning it had bad ratings.

Seinfeid produced today would have been cancelled after its first season. It took a solid 4 years before Seinfeld became a Neilsen ratings monster. For 4 years straight Seinfeld had a show ranking of #25 or worse, usually ranked in the 40s. In their 5th season, they were the 3rd ranked Neilsen show on TV and were never low than that.

Back to Timeless. Time travel, if done correctly, is always a great precedent for a movie or TV show because of the endless possibilities in plot and thematic arc.

I hope someone like Amazon or Netflix takes over the show, similar to what happened to Arrested Development.
I feel the exact same way about Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles.
2 seasons and done. That show was so......!

Good news. If they followed the Netflix and HBO model and had 10-13 episode seasons I bet the quality of the storytelling would improve, and it would have a much better chance of having a season 3 and beyond.

The achelies heel of Sci-Fi shows is of having to stretch stories out over 23 episodes. Most shows end up with a handful of great episodes but also quite a bit of filler *cough*The Flash*cough*

Got all caught up with the show tonight. I'm liking it s lot, so far. The first few minutes of episode one had me trippng. *****SPOILLER*****

I've never seen an instant, human porcupine before.

This show is Bryan Fuller doing what Bryan Fuller does and if you have the patience to stick around, his work always pays off.

Dude is so creatively advanced. Hope he can keep this level of quality story telling up.

I feel the same about the guy who does "Mr Robot", too. Good shit.

*SEMI SPOILER IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED YET*

That's why I put the disclaimer about some things would be WTF if you went in not knowing what the premise of the series was ahead of time. Those beginning minutes, the stuff with Bilquis and all the stuff with the coin tricks in Episode 1 will have you like what is going on.

Seemed pretty easy to figure out. Especially her saying worship me. Maybe I've been into fantasy so long I can pick up on things fast
