The Scoop for Jan. 5, 2021

So, this is an odd one. It was reported over the weekend that 80’s star Tanya Roberts had passed away. This came from her agent and her boyfriend, Lance O’Brien . But now, the very same boyfriend says, yeah, about that.
The doctors called Lance to tell him that Tanya was still alive while Lance was doing an interview about her death.
I knew that Tanya had been on That 70’s show and the last season of Charlie’s Angels, but I completely forgot she was a Bond girl in A View To A Kill. But I mostly remember her from The Beastmaster. Is that weird? That’s weird isn’t it?


Remember when I said that it looks like most of the Harry Potter cast are getting geared up for a new Potter movie. Well, let’s hold that thought just for a moment. Because now, the internet tells us that Harry himself, Daniel Radcliffe, is willing to come back on one condition: That J.K. Rowling isn’t involved.
So, if the studio wants this to happen, it looks like they’ll have to choose between Dan Rad or JK. I’m guessing they’ll choose The Boy Who Lived.


So, I’m super stoked, because it looks like we’re going to get more than one Batman movie moving forward, and even more than one Batman. Yes, the Robert Pattinson Batman movie is still a go, but now Warner Brothers says they have another Batman movie in the works, that will feature my favorite Batman, Michael Keaton.
Sure we have to wait until 2022, but still, Michael Keaton Batman. I’m in. On a side note, if you haven’t seen his movie Birdman, watch it.
