As a fix, Universal turned to Louis Leterrier, the French filmmaker behind “Now You See Me,” “The Incredible Hulk” and Netflix series “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.”TheWrap spoke to Leterrier about jumping aboard the new movie, wrangling his massive cast (which includes Vin Diesel, Jason Momoa, Brie Larson, Michelle Rodriguez, Charlize Theron, John Cena and Jason Statham, among others) and what he’s got planned for the next film (Universal was so happy with his performance, he’ll be back for the 11th chapter). Start your engines!What was it like boarding this runaway train?I felt all the feels. I was, like, “Oh my God, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.” Also the most terrified.
It was daunting but exciting at the same time. And then it’s not like I was going into a non-terrain. There’s nine movies, plus a spin off, plus a short film.
There’s all these movies that I’ve admired and loved for 20 years. I’ve watched and analyzed them all. I could speak the language.
So I just walked in. It was actually pretty easy to fit in.What gave you the confidence that you could do it?Frankly, in the beginning I got excited. I said, “Yes, I’ll read it.” I read it, got excited, took a couple of meetings with the producers to talk about notes and ideas and stuff like that.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Ellen Pompeo’s Meredith Grey had many love interests over 19 seasons of “Grey’s Anatomy,” from Patrick Dempsey’s Derek Shepherd to Scott Speedman’s Nick Marsh, but such constant relationship conflict ultimately became a source of frustration for the actor. During a “Grey’s” reunion interview with Katherine Heigl as part ofVariety’s “Actors on Actors” series, Pompeo lamented over Meredith’s lack of growth in her love life. “When you stay on a show and with a character that long…for me, I really need to make sense of things and I really need to see evolution and growth,” Pompeo said. “And with network television specifically, there has to be some consistency for the audience. The audience wants familiarity. The writers get stuck in the consistency of something, and it’s harder, which I always would argue against and say, ‘We have such an incredible fan base. They’re so loyal. They’ll literally come along with us no matter what we do.’ I think it’s okay for Meredith to stop making bad decisions.”

Brent Lang Executive Editor As Matthew López prepared for the London debut of “The Inheritance,” his epic drama about the AIDS epidemic and its painful aftershocks, he was simultaneously outlining a first draft of “Some Like It Hot,” an effervescent re-imagining of the classic Billy Wilder film. The two shows could not have been more radically different. But López enjoyed toggling between comedy and tragedy. “I like working in extremes,” he says. “I like working in different modes.” Plus, he thinks that both productions benefitted from their author’s double act. “I got to live in both worlds at once,” López argues. “One helped the other. Doing the shows at the same time kept both projects in check. It prevented ‘The Inheritance’ from getting too dour and kept ‘Some Like It Hot’ from getting too lightweight. It brought some gravity to ‘Some Like It Hot’ and some levity to ‘The Inheritance.'”
