New songs are being written and the title character is being fleshed out, as it were.
Chu wagged his finger at me and stressed that anyJosephmovie is a long way off.
No, no, nothing to reveal about whether Dorothy will make an appearance.
No, he will not tell me who plays Dorothy.
Nah, that would be excessive.
The movie also premiered in the U.S. five days ahead of the presidential election.
We all know what happened then, he said.
Somehow, the conversation turned to our tuxedo shirts.
A treat after shootingConclavethere, he explained.

My wife and I will debate the matter when we watch it again.
And what wereBaby ReindeersJessica Gunning and Kate Beckinsale chatting about?
I could have asked, I guess, but sometimes its more interesting to just stand there and observe.
And great to bump into Anthony Mackie.
We were both overly refreshed that night and talking bollocks, really, but it was super fun.
Mackies a huge star now.
Also fun was catching up with the cast of director Tim Fehlbaums excellentSeptember 5film.
More she would not reveal.
It was also good to see no-nonsense Kate Winslet, double nominated forLeeandThe Regime.
We have some catching up to do back in London.
There are a couple of other things I need to get off my chest.
Meryl Streep feted Davis, and Mary Steenburgen did likewise to Danson, her husband.
There are videos from the event on Deadlines social media site on X.
The footage shot Friday needs to be edited and shown widely.
I could tell that many couldnt care less.
They certainly hadnt seenThe BrutalistandNickel Boys.
