The Departed TV series is reportedly being looked at by the Internet giant as a possible franchise to develop for their streaming channel. Originally based on the Chinese film, Infernal Affairs, The Departed boasted an all-star cast, and it remains to be seen if Amazon has deep enough pockets to get some big names at least to feature in the show.
Doctor Strange Reshoots
It’s becoming a norm for Disney and Marvel movies to go back for reshoots and now Doctor Strange is being given the same treatment. Despite principal photography being completed several months ago, Marvel has tapped Community creator, Dan Harmon to pen new script pages for the upcoming film featuring the Sorcerer Supreme. Harmon’s inclusion could hint at Marvel planning to lighten the tone of the film somewhat, which could mean more humour in several scenes. Doctor Strange opens in cinemas this November.
