Big Things For Our Boy

God's Own Country and Challengers actor Josh O'Connor is set to star in Steven Spielberg's next movie! I had to google it to make sure he wasn't in War Hose because doesn't it feel like he could've been in War Horse? (Full disclosure - I have never seen War Horse. It's one of I think three Spielberg movies I haven't seen.) Anyway this will be Josh's first movie with the biggest man in Hollywood history -- we don't know much about this movie yet except it's a science-fiction "event film" so this will be Spielberg in blockbuster mode. Four other people also joined the cast -- Emily Blunt, Eve Hewson (aka Bono's daughter who co-starred in The Knick!), Colin Firth, and Colman f'ing Domingo! Yes Colman too! Save Colman this is a very British cast though so I am assuming this will be a British-set science0-fiction picture. Wouldn't it be kind of cool if he made a new Day of the Triffids? I love Day of the Triffids. Those killer plants freak me the fuck out. And it's a timely ecological angle. If it gets announced that this is a Day of the Triffids movie I want my flowers dammit cuz I called it!
