Robert Pattinson will star as Batman in the next trilogy of films directed by Planet of the Apes-director Matt Reeves, according to reports. Warner Bros. bowed to Reeves’ preference after reportedly also wanting to see Nicholas Hoult in the role of the iconic superhero. 

The studio reportedly met with Hoult and Pattison Thursday, and pulled the trigger on Pattinson, who rose to superstardom in Twilight Saga. He can be seen in the Rober Eggers-helmed The Lighthouse. 

As with all Batman-related decisions that come down the pike, Twitter’s reaction was mixed, with several users posting tragic “NOOOOO!” tweets, but others saying Pattinson seemed like a “great” choice. 

Ace Showbiz claims a change.org petition has been started to block Warner Brothers from casting Robert Pattinson as the next Batman. The petition reads; “Don’t make the Batffleck mistake again. Don’t do it. For the love of all that is holy, stop trashing the DC Universe. To cast Robert Pattinson or anyone other than Armie Hammer at this point would be a joke.”

Most recently, Ben Affleck played an older version of Batman, and the reception to his take in Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League was not generally favorable. 

Pre-production on this trilogy is set to begin this summer.

‘GODZILLA’ DISAPPOINTS WITH $49M – (06/03/2019)

Godzilla: King of the Monsters ruled the domestic box office over the weekend, but just barely. The lackluster lizard flick, starring Millie Bobby Brown, brought in $49 million, against production costs of about $170 million. 

However, Paramount’s Rocketman launched what some say will be a leggy summer run with a $25 million bow. The Dexter Fletcher-directed Elton John biopic has garnered positive reviews, an A- Cinemascore and only cost about $41 million to make. 

Blumhouse and Universal/Comcast’s Ma, starring Octavia Spencer and Diana Silvers, also had a strong opening with $18.26 million, against a $5 million budget. 

Hooray for Hollywood: Here are this past weekend’s box office results.

1. Godzilla: King of the Monsters— $49 million (CINEMA SCOOP … The movie earned $130 million overseas. In 2014, ”Godzilla” opened to $93.2 million, while in 2016 ”Kong: Skull Island” took in $61 million.)

2. Aladdin— $42.3 million

3. Rocketman— $25 million

4. Ma— $18.26 million

5. John Wick: Chapter 3– Parabellum— $11.1 million

Maine has chosen its design for its bicentennial flag. After holding an online vote between three designs, Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap unveiled the winning design Friday last week. The flag is comprised of a field of blue representing the sky; lighter blue across the bottom representing water, be that river, pond or ocean; and a pine tree moved off center to make the viewer feel like they are inside the forest, looking out. The shape of the pine tree is based on the tree featured in the Maine Merchant and Marine flag in the 1930s. The original design of the flag featured a plain white star, but Secretary Dunlap replaced that star with the Dirigo Star from the State Seal. The original design was submitted by Portland Resident Jeff Van West. The decision incorporates input from more than 6,500 people who participated in an online survey of three different designs. With 59 percent of the votes, survey respondents expressed preference for the design that depicts a variation on Maine’s State flag of 1901.

The flag design to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Maine’s formation as a State still needs to be approved by the Bicentennial Commission before it formally becomes the flag of the event.

Today on the Magic Morning Show, Gino was joined by Susan and Kim of the Molly Ockett School PTA and they told us all about the 5K Color Run/Walk 4 Fun that is happening this Saturday, June 1st at the Fryeburg Fairgrounds.

For many Americans, Memorial Day weekend entails grilling out, having beach parties and beginning the summer vacation season, but for many it is a seldom reminder of the sacrifices of the men and women that have served the armed forces. We remember these men and women by decorating their graves with wreaths, holding parades in their honor and rendering military customs and courtesies.
