More rumours about the next Bond director might shore up those recent casting rumours. The Predator‘s co-writer compares the new film to Aliens. Comics writer Mark Millar’s latest movie project gets some writers. Plus a new look at Harry Potter and the Cursed Child‘s Malfoys, and new images from Game of Thrones. To me, my spoilers!

If you think of the first ‘Predator’ as ‘Alien,’ ours is much more ‘Aliens.’ It’s not ‘Ten Little Indians,’ it’s not, ‘Let’s kill off all of our characters,’ because we have a lot of characters, from a lot of different worlds and ideologies. I don’t mean other planets. It’s a lot of people doing a lot of things in a lot of locations.
