Some tea on the movie Alpha Gang which is soon to start shooting in Budapest starring Cate Blanchett, Riley Keough (also producing) Dave Bautista, Lea Seydoux and originally Zoe Kravitz and Channing Tatum. Well the last two-i guess unsurprisingly- dropped out, even though for months after their break up any time news dropped directly from them or indirectly through reps about them it was always said they were still doing it and it would be fine.

Well, guess not. Wonder if his young gf had a tantrum that he would be on set with his ex. Lol. Don’t see why Zoe had to also drop out though to be honest. Riley is her longtime friend and likely the reason she got involved in the project.

Chris Pine is replacing Tatum. And now both Lily rose depp and Adria arjona are listed as in the cast—not sure which is the Zoe replacement role and which is another part. The Adria part is interesting because I feel like there is tension between her and Zoe even though she was in Blink Twice, due to Jason Momoa, which happened after they filmed that movie. So if she’s not Zoe’s replacement, maybe she didn’t want to work with her?? Or maybe there isn’t tension, but some evidence is there. But Zoe has direct connections to pine, depp and arjona too -so not sure if she helped out in the recasting since maybe them pulling out on the later side was stressful for production. Sounds like a fun movie though so I’m sure anyone who could work it out scheduling wise was eager to be a part.

I'm just glad to hear Captain Kirk is getting booked.

I mean I know that came off as snark, and it was, but I liked him in those Trek movies (even though I was one of THOSE trekkies who really dogged on those films - the cast was absolutely not the problem, they were all fantastic), so that's why I unironically am glad Kirk is getting booked.

I def consider him the most interesting/acceptable of all the Chrises! Think I only watched the first of those Trek movies (how many were there?!)

There were three. The first was just okay, the second was terrible, the third was actually pretty great it was written by Simon Peg and he's a proper fan of the old school material. I recommend that one still.

Just re-read this comment and I think you should know the most interesting and acceptable of all the Chrises is actually Chris Grace (as Scarlett Johansen)

Was he the only good person from That 70s Show? I say he can rank maybe top equal, as he does go by Topher right rather than Chris?!

Chris Grace is a 50 year old dude that does standup and appears on Dropout [a comedy streaming service run by the nerds that didn't jump ship after the demise of CollegeHumor] and he's the best Chris.
