Donald Glover is best-known for his role as Troy Barnes in the comedy series Community. He currently stars on Atlanta, which he also co-writes. He is also a double-Grammy Award-nominated musician for his work under the moniker Childish Gambino.
Glover, a major Star Wars fan, has been long a fan-favourite for the role of the young Lando. He will also be appearing in the new Spider-Man movie, Homecoming, due next year.
Surprised you haven't commented on the new Logan trailer.

I tend not to cover the big superhero movies because there's so many of them and a lot of other sites do that better.
ReplyDeleteCool. Cool cool cool.
ReplyDeleteSurprised, happy, and disappointed- he'll be too famous now to star as Hiro Protagonist in HBO's Snow Crash adaptation. :(
ReplyDeleteI did a couple quick boolean searches for combinations of Joe Cornish, HBO, and Snow Crash... And the only thing that comes up are people mentioning HBO in unrelated comments of other articles.
DeleteI'm having a tough time imagining Joe Cornish working for HBO. And an even harder time imagining HBO being okay with a director taking this long to start shooting a new series. Do you have supporting references on this, or was it perhaps just an error?
I think that was wishful thinking and a suggestion rather than referring to a greenlit project.
ReplyDeleteI get it, but it wouldn't make sense for the source material. There isn't enough there to constitute more than a single season, at most. And the story really doesn't leave anything open for continuation. It winds up like a popcorn flick and ends pretty conclusively. I'd rather not see them drag that out longer than they should.
