'28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' Review and a Hot TV Casting Scoop

Happy Tuesday, folks!

Let’s see, where should we begin tonight? How about the Golden Globes ratings, which are down 7% since last year, with the show falling to 8.66 million viewers. I suppose you get what you pay for, eh, CBS?

Meanwhile, Netflix is trumpeting the 17.2 million views that its original movie People We Meet on Vacation scored over its opening weekend, but I don’t know… that number seems a little mediocre to me. To be fair, I’m sure the NFL playoffs didn’t help Netflix… or the Globes, for that matter.

At least People We Meet on Vacation entered production with a finished script — unlike the Stranger Things finale. Maybe journalists should start asking that question (Did you have a finished script?) at junkets, as that would’ve been nice to know before I watched the finale.

Tonight’s newsletter brings a cool TV casting scoop as well as my thoughts on 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and this year’s Golden Globes ceremony, where Nikki Glaser ruled, and Sinners cooled — or did it?

There are also items about Nicolas Cage, Netflix’s hot new spec, Michelle Williams’ prison movie, Gavin O’Connor’s latest leading man, the new showrunner on Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and the sad downfall of Timothy Busfield. Plus, a look at the trailer for Lee Cronin’s psychological thriller The Mummy.
