Q: What's going on with the "Janson Directive" movie?
Alas, the short answer is: nothing.
This is a question that comes up every year or two, which is understandable since fans were teased with the prospect of a film version of "The Janson Directive" novel 10 years ago, with nothing to show for it since.
The latest concrete update came in 2018, when former pro wrestler John Cena ("Wipeout") was attached as the new lead.

Q: I remember watching a TV movie when I was a kid that had a lot of child stars from the time, like Candace Cameron. It was set at a summer camp. I can't remember the title, though. Can you help?
The summer camp movie is a rich genre, and it feels as if there was at least one made in every person's childhood. I don't know when you were a kid, but Candace Cameron (now Cameron-Bure) was only a child star for a relatively brief period, and during that period she made "Camp Cucamonga."
Aired on NBC in 1990, it did indeed feature a stack of child stars of the time, and a couple of grown-up stars, too.
