Greg Grunberg Returns for Star Wars: Episode IX

Greg Grunberg returns for Star Wars: Episode IX

Greg Grunberg returns for Star Wars: Episode IX! And it shouldn’t be that much of a surprise given the relationship between Grunberg and director J.J. Abrams.

When Grunberg appeared in Star Wars: The Force Awakens it wasn’t a huge shock, again given the relationship between actor and director.  In that movie he made his appearance as an X-Wing pilot that was a part of Poe Dameron’s Black Squadron. While missing in Star Wars: The Last Jedi we are excited to see what the Black Squadron have been up to in this third, and final, installment.

This casting news comes on the heels of other news about the Star Wars: Episode IX cast.  It was announced a few days ago that Matt Smith will be joining the cast of the film. While his role has not be specified yet, it is considered a “key role” and not just a cameo.

We also recently announced that the film is still in the process of casting.  Looking for 27 and 35 year old female to play a role with the codename “Karina” who is described as a “younger Charlize Theron with street smarts” and ” a good sense of humor.”

We are soaking up all of the casting news coming out of the Star Wars: Episode IX plot since, as with the other films, the plot has remained tightly under wraps.

Star Wars: Episode IX will hit theaters on December 20, 2019.  That gives us plenty of time to speculate about characters and plot points!

Disneyland Resort Hotels

Exciting news coming out of Disneyland today! Several dining changes have been announced to make the Disneyland Resort Hotels even more magical!

Disneyland Hotel

The South Seas hideaway at Disneyland Hotel, Tanagaroa Terrace will close for a refurbishment and open once again in early 2019. When it reopens, it will be know as Tangaroa Bar & Grill and feature a ’50s Tiki-inspired design complementing the mid-century modern architecture of the Resort. The Bar & Grill will also offer guests a new outdoor bar with a refreshed patio serving up island-inspired cocktails and Asian-inspired dishes. Inside, other new touches include new light fixtures made of colorful fishing floats and netting, a tropical mural and, and bamboo accents. A new service window will be open for guests to grab a cup of one of their various coffee selections during the morning hours and even a Dole Whip throughout the rest of the day. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be served daily with an open-air marketplace for those looking for a bite on the run. To fill the void of Tangaroa Terrace during the re-imagination process, menu offerings will be available at The Coffee House, Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar, and Stetakhouse 55.

Disney’s Grand California Resort & Spa

White Water Snacks will also be closing for a refurbishment but will be reopening later this year with a new look. In the meantime, guests are invited to pick up popular grab-and-go options at Hearthstone Lounge.

Also, at Disney’s Grand Californian Resort & Spa, a new poolside bar will be opening in Spring of 2019! The new, luxurious pool bar featured in the concept art above will stay with the Hotels’ iconic Arts and Crafts design with natural boulder stonework and clinker bricks. A custom tile mural at the back bar will set the craftsman tone and an all-new trellis will provide shade and the perfect place to enjoy a tasty beverage and delicious tapas. New lounges and table seating will also be available.

What changes are you most looking forward to at the Disneyland Resort Hotels? For me, its a toss-up between the Tangaroa Bar & Grill and the new pool bar!

Yvette Nicole Brown joins Lady and the Tramp cast

Yvette Nicole Brown joins Lady and the Tramp cast!  The cast of this live-action film for Disney’s new streaming service is shaping up quite nicely, isn’t it?!

The Community alum is set to play the role of Aunt Sarah in this upcoming remake of the Disney animated classic. She will be joining Tessa Thompson as Lady and Justin Theroux voicing the Tramp. Jim Dear, Lady’s owner will be played by Thomas Mann and the role of his wife, Darling Dear has gone to Kiersey Clemons.

Charlie Bean is directing the remake which was written by Andrew Bujalski. Look for this film to premiere on Disney’s yet to be named digital streaming service next year.

In the animated film it is Aunt Sarah who takes American Cocker Spaniel, Lady, to the pet store to get a muzzle.  Lady flees and that’s how she meets a mongrel named Tramp.  And the rest is spaghetti and meatballs history!

You can currently catch Yvette Nicole Brown  in her recurring role in the series “Mom.”  She also just did work on the independent film “Love & Oatmeal.”

The more casting news that comes out about this new film, the more the anticipation builds.  Lady and the Tramp is certainly a Disney classic.  It will interesting to see how it comes across as a live-action film!  One thing is for sure, we are certainly loving the casting choices being made for this new film!

Do you plan on checking it out when it premieres on Disney’s new streaming service sometime next year?
