Summary: On this episode of Collider Movie Talk (Wednesday, February 28th, 2018) Mark Ellis, Clarke Wolfe, Jon Schnepp, and Mark Reilly discuss the following: 1) 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' Timeline Places It Before 'Rogue One' 2) James Gunn Reveals Baby Groot Is Actually Groot's Son 3) Boyd Holbrook in Talks to Write, Star in Thriller 'The Thirst' at Fox 4) 'Imitation Game' Writer Sets Directorial Debut With Female-Led Futuristic 5) 'Shazam!': Here's Your First, Unofficial, Shitty Look at Zachary Levi in Costume 6) Live Twitter Questions A new timeline has been revealed by Del Rey Books, the official publication line for Disney's Star Wars novelizations, and it gives us a good idea of when the upcoming Ron Howard movie Solo: A Star Wars Story takes place. As THR pointed out, and as the timeline suggests, the events of Solo will take place before both Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the ongoing adventures of Disney's animated series Star Wars Rebels. An interesting thing happened over on Twitter yesterday after Jedi Council and Entertainment Tonight Now's own Ash Crossnan quote-tweeted out an image of Baby Groot and a Porg, asking which one to save. Variety reports that 20th Century Fox is in talks with Logan star Boyd Holbrook for the actor to star in, write, and executive produce the futuristic thriller entitled The Thirst. Based on an original idea from Holbrook himself, the movie takes place in a world where water is scarce. THR is reporting that Studio 8 has picked up Graham Moore's sci-fi thriller Naked Is the Best Disguise, which will serve as Moore's directorial debut. The Imitation Game's writer developed the idea with Scoop Wasserstein of Scoop Productions; in a story set in the near future in which new technology allows one person's memories to be extracted and inserted into someone else. The first unofficial look at Zack Levi's Shazam! has been revealed, and it comes to us courtesy of a side-photo snapped and posted on Reddit. The image was immediately met with a ton of comments and criticism, but just as a reminder, it is an unofficial image and WB and DC Films has yet to acknowledge or confirm.
