Javier Bardem in ‘Cape Fear.’

Apple TV’s new limited series version of Cape Fear is the third screen adaptation of the John D. MacDonald novel The Executioners. It is the second remake of the 1962 movie directed by J. Lee Thompson and written by James R. Webb. And it’s the first remake of the 1991 movie directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Wesley Strick. It’s executive produced by Scorsese and Steven Spielberg and stars Amy Adams, Javier Bardem, and Patrick Wilson.

And: I Love Boosters is writer-director Boots Riley’s followup to his sci-fi comedy Sorry To Bother You. It is a sci-fi heist comedy and an adaptation of the song “I Love Boosters!” by Riley’s group The Coup. It stars Keke Palmer, Taylour Paige, Naomi Ackie, LaKeith Stanfield, Don Cheadle, and Demi Moore.
