When Gerry Anderson died last September, I not only was saddened, but felt somehow betrayed. I am not arrogant to believe that his health is any of my business, but knowing would have clarified for me why it is that he left the Pinewood Studios lot, and the selling of the memorabilia that he had accrued […]
I apologize for the earlier title, in which I wrote ‘Trailer’ instead of ‘Poster.’ I have posted before that Tony Stark in “Iron Man 3” is going to spend a bit of time on the Dark Side (which is an interesting turn of phrase considering Disney now owns Lucasfilm), and in the process end up […]
This is interesting news! According to Deadline, Duncan Jones, director of “Moon” and “Source Code,” will be directing a movie based upon Activision Blizzard’s MMORPG (Massive Multi-Player Online Role Playing Game) “World of Warcraft.” I am of two minds about this: While it’s good that Jones will be working with a larger palate than his […]
Why is it that Hollywood, whenever it begins to run low on ideas, feels the need to plunder my dreams? Perhaps I shouldn’t take such things so personally, but after the upcoming (?) reboot of “Space: 1999,” and now “The Tomorrow People,” I am beginning to wonder. The original series of the “The Tomorrow People,” there was a […]
I recently read, via the ever reliable Deadline, that “The Walking Dead” has a new showrunner, someone by the name of Scott Gimple. I don’t mean to disparage Gimple, after all, he may be an awesome showrunner, but it seems to me that if he does the least thing that runs afoul of AMC brass […]
DreamWorks’ “Rise of the Guardians, according to one analyst, is not only a failure, but requires somewhere in the neighborhood of a $95 million dollar write-off. Sure, that’s not a John Carter-sized sized screwup, but it’s pretty large. Though, when you think about it, that doesn’t really make sense, and here’s why: The budget of […]
I was drifting around the Internet, when I found this YouTube post from Jace Hall (the guy who’s spearheading the upcoming (?) “Space: 2099”). The recording isn’t the best, and Landau (Commander Koenig from the original series) doesn’t say all that anything that most fans of the original series don’t already know, but it’s good […]
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is supposedly being considered for the role of Peter Quill on Marvel’s upcoming “Guardians Of The Galaxy.” That’s an interesting bit of news, though not for the reasons that are often quoted. If you read further, you’ll probably hear lots of mentions of his performance in […]
I was just on Deadline, and there’s a story there that says that an analyst from Lazard Capital Markets’ who speculates that DreamWorks will have to write off $95 million dollars on their animated feature, “Rise Of The Guardians.” What’s interesting is that the same analyst originally believed that that number to be smaller almost […]
I am really trying to like Hulu. I even posted a complementary post a day or so ago, though just when I am feeling good about them, they go and do something irritating (which may be part of someone’s master plan). And the funny thing, despite my griping, is that they must being doing something right, […]
