Welcome to The List,

Here’s a twist….Alec Baldwin wants to make sure it's on the record that he is NOT responsible for the death of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. And he's doing that by SUING several crew members who had anything to do with the loaded gun that went off and killed her. One of the reasons Alec is doing this is because HE is being sued by script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, who was also hit by the bullet that discharged from Alec's gun.

The new Godzilla, King Kong movie has a new title… sort of…Now, it’s called Godzilla AND Kong…because now they’re friends.  To be fair, this title hasn’t been officially announced yet; so it’s always possible the movie will actually end up being called Godzilla Or Kong, or Godzilla But Kong.  Still, the whole “And” thing does tie into the already released synopsis for the film, which states that it pits “the almighty Kong *and* the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world.”…We’re holding our breath….
