To make a movie of Genzaburo Yoshino’s 1937 book How Do You Live? Apparently one of his favourite books. It's about a teenage boy who moves in with his uncle after his father dies. Suzuki describes the movie as "fantasy on a grand scale".

Heo Sung-tae and Gong Yoo from Netflix show Squid Game and Bae Doona from Netflix show Sense8 star in 8-part Netflix show The Silent Sea. Coming on 24 December. In the future, Earth is turning to desert. A team are assembled to retrieve a mysterious sample from an abandoned lunar base, which will apparently help save Earth. It's based on a 2014 short, The Sea of Tranquility. Both directed by Choi Hang-yong.

Yeah, Romulus was always used.

It's easier to train dogs to act than cats. Even in cartoons.

Linear TV over streaming has broken my mind.
