Here’s more from Acorn TV’s official synopsis: “When an expensive car containing a suicide note — but no body — is pulled from the sea, veteran Northern Ireland police detective Tom Brannick (Nesbitt) instantly sees the connection to an infamous cold case that holds enormous personal significance for him — a notorious and long-buried series of mysterious disappearances. ‘Bloodlands’ follows Tom Brannick’s obsessive campaign to identify and unmask the semi-mythical figure behind these events, a figure code-named Goliath, after the giant shipyard cranes, Samson and Goliath that dominate the Belfast skyline....

While Bulloch remains best known as the actor behind the suit in the second two films of the original trilogy, he also cameoed in other “Star Wars” properties, including in “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith” as Captain Colton, a Clone Wars era pilot with a long record of service in the Royal House of Alderaan. The actor got his start on TV shows, such as “Billy Bunter of Greyfriars School” and “The Newcomers,” and though he wore the original Boba Fett costume — giving the bounty hunter an eerie stillness that implied more menace than was ever actually demonstrated on screen — his role was voiced by Jason Wingreen originally....

“I don’t know how it would work,” Fraser told Variety in an interview. “But I’d be open to it if someone came up with the right conceit.” Fraser spoke about “The Mummy” as part of a Variety cover story with Darren Aronofsky, the director of his new film “The Whale.” The film stars Fraser as a middle-aged teacher attempting to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter. It’s widely been labeled as Fraser’s comeback vehicle after his career stalled for years — and has generated considerable Oscar buzz for the actor....

As wish lists go, this one isn’t pure fantasy: For the most part, we only include films that seem to have a good shot at making the cut. That means we aren’t pretending that Ari Aster’s “Disappointment Blvd” will be ready any earlier than the fall, or that Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu’s “Bardo” hasn’t already set its sights on Venice, or that Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City” is anywhere near done. At the same time, a few titles on this list may or may not be ready in time for the festival; others may have already been rejected....
