J. Michael Straczynski, who created “Babylon 5”, has been hired to script a remake of “Forbidden Planet” for Joel Silver and Warner Bros. #
the question is… WHY GOD WHY? I do love JMS’s work, but this rash of remakes is nauseating. #
Okay, I’m determined to hit 666 updates today. We’re on 660 so far. [...]
The wait for Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ seminal graphic novel WATCHMEN to take the leap from the printed page to the big screen has been going on for almost two decades. Now that the film is on its way for real (pending Fox’s lawsuit against WB), the light is at the end of the tunnel for comics fans who have waited so long to see the story come to life. The graphic novel, originally published in 12 individual issues by DC Comics in the 1980s, became the benchmark by which all other similar works would be judged for years.
The brand new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, is out today, and despite the vitriol from many fans towards the rather lackluster theme tune, it looks as though this may well be the best James Bond adventure in years. Casino Royale, the first Bond film to feature Daniel Craig as the famous fictional spy, [...]
So david Tennant is to leave. Fear not, there’s still three incarnations left. #
Mind you, RTD *did* go on record to say that when the Doc’s lives are up he’ll more than likely find a new cycle of 13 from somewhere. #
I’d hope so, as Doctor Who deserves to run and run until we all [...]

whoa… the Xmas decorations have appeared around the centre from nowhere… #
@bloggersblog I hear ya. #
I do hope the Child’s Play remake is better than those last 2 films. #
My colleagues are far too excited about Gear of War 2. Grown men are an odd breed sometimes. #

With remakes of Friday the 13th (completed) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (in preproduction) on the way, we are seeing the rebirth of two of the biggest Horror franchises ever to stalk and slash on our screens. It raises the question as to whether we will see another Freddy Vs Jason crossover movie in [...]
The notorious possessed doll known as CHUCKY has become one of the horror genre’s most recognizable characters, thanks mostly to the last two films in the series, namely BRIDE OF CHUCKY and SEED OF CHUCKY. Those final two sequels (following on from the first three CHILD’S PLAY films) saw the character, voiced by Brad Dourif [...]
Steve Niles’ and Ben Templesmith have created a monster. The highly stylized and deeply disturbing 30 Days of Night graphic novel went on to spawn various sequels and a big screen feature film, as well as a TV mini series (Blood Trails) and an online prequel to the movie (Dust to Dust). Why have the tales of Barrow and its vampire visitors proved to be such a hit with comics fans and moviegoers?
