New ‘Bourne’ Movie In The Works At Universal With Critically Acclaimed Director
Super spy Jason Bourne is in the news again today as Edward Berger, the director behind the last year’s Best Picture Oscar-nominated film All Quiet on the Western Front, is attached to direct the new Bourne movie. There have been five films so far, four of which starred Matt Damon. The movie is still in very early development as it doesn’t even have a script or writer attached to the project. Until then, you can stream the Bourne films:
The Bourne Identity (Freevee, Roku)
The Bourne Supremacy (Freevee, Roku Channel)
The Bourne Ultimatum (MAX)
The Bourne Legacy (Freevee, Roku Channel)

So Long, ‘Billions’ - What’s Next For Damian Lewis?
Two Showtime series I’ve binged through twice are Homeland and Billions which both coincidentally star Damian Lewis. The latter recently concluded its final season, but it was just announced today that Lewis is slated to star in a sequel to Wolf Hall titled Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light which is based on the final novel in Hilary Mantel’s trilogy.
The PBS Masterpiece and BBC production will co-star Mark Rylance and Jonathan Pryce. Per the synopsis, “Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light” will follow the four final years of Cromwell’s life, completing his journey from self-made man to the most feared and influential figure of his time.” Damian Lewis will portray King Henry VII. You can stream the first season of Wolf Hall on the Amazon Prime Channel - Masterpiece.

Where Can I Stream The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade?
For those of you with cable TV and the capability of viewing live television, you can stream the event on CBS and NBC, but also those with Peacock can stream it live beginning at 8:30am. On phones and computers, you can stream on NBC.com. Performers include Cher, who will be singing songs off her new holiday album, Brandy, and Pentatonix. The six new balloons premiering at the parade are Pillsbury Doughboy, Snoopy dressed as a beagle scout, and Po from Kung Fu Panda. New floats include Camp Snoopy and Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory inspired by the new film Wonka landing in theaters Christmas day.
