Interesting. How are they going to play it? Some of the key actors in the original are now gone, and there's no way for them to recreate the computer scenes as I know those are no longer available. (A pal of mine bought the last of the props from the liquidation of Thinking Machines Corp, and I have one of the panels that appeared in the movie happily flashing its lights in my kitchen at this very moment. That was an expensive acquisition, but in the long haul worth it because it works!)

The only detail that I know about the cast is that it includes Scarlett Johansson. It may well be that, as in the transition from Jurassic Park to Jurassic World, the producers decided start afresh with new characters.

I don't really have a single favorite movie. Maybe Rouge One if I had to settle for a single movie.

I have a few movies that I five really hard to turn off once I've started them. Start Wars, Lord of the Rings/Bilbo and the Bond movies come to mind. But I usually get drawn into any movie thats on top the detriment of all else around me. :lol:

No actual favourite, of course. There are far too many really great movies out there. Of the war movies, Shindler's list and The Pianist are high on my list, not least for their music content. Of non-war movies, Out of Africa, Titanic and Avatar come quickly to mind, not forgetting oldies like High Society and Gone with the Wind.

Of late, several Netflix series are binge-watchable and keep me up in the dead of night, which have me falling asleep in the dull miserable afternoons, normal here at this time of year.

:faint: Ray, give the kid a break.
English is not Seb's first/primary language, I understood what he meant.
Rogue One vs Rouge One :?: A typo when trying to translate into English.
And YES - Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, released in 2016, is a very good movie :!:

1. My post was a play on words. I thought it was humourous.

2. No malice was intended.

3. Relax.

Haha, that was not the only typo in that post either. And I can't with good conscience blame that one on my English(which ironicly is my first language, mum is a Britt, so I learnt Swedish when I started pre-school at 4y, but Swedish had been my main language since then) thats all autocorrect on my phone. :lol:
