The LEGENDARY, Oscar-nominated, Tony Award-winning director Julie Taymor joins the show to discuss her new film The Glorias (starring Alicia Vikander, Janelle Monáe, Julianne Moore), now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. We discuss a sequel to Across the Universe that she wants to get made, the amazing crew and creative heads she worked with on The Glorias, and so much more. A true genius, and an incredible interview for the ReelBlend history books. Also on this week's show, we talk the new trailer for The Craft reboot coming in October, Barry Jenkins being tapped to direct a follow up to 2019's The Lion King, Marvel's slate being completely wiped from 2020, Borat 2, and more. We also celebrate the career of the late, great Michael Chapman with the hashtag "MichaelChapmanBlend". Next week, we kick off the month of October with "HauntedHouseBlend". Send in your favorite film that features, surrounds, includes some sort of haunted property. #JulieTaymor #TheGlorias #TheLionKing This Week In Movies: -The Boys in the Band (Netflix) -Vampires vs The Bronx (Netflix) -The Glorias (Amazon Prime, VOD) 00:00 - Intro 3:10 - Weekly Poll 11:38 - Julie Taymor Interview 46:34 - Marvel Slate Shifts 57:18 - Breaking: Borat 2 59:17 - Barry Jenkins For The Lion King 1:11:57 - The Craft Reboot Trailer 1:18:30 - This Week In Movies 1:22:23 - Blend Game: MichaelChapmanBlend 1:32:31 - Listener Review/Outro -- REELBLEND PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION -- Want more ReelBlend each week?
