OTHER NEWS
An industry report today offhandedly broke big news that Lionsgate hoped to deliver four movies out of Suzanne Collins’ popular dystopian trilogy "The Hunger Games". Yet the plan is not solid yet, as the focus remains on the first film and how it performs next March.
"The Hunger Games" Barely Even-A-Teaser Teaser:

David Goyer, whose script credits include the Nolan Batmans, "Man Of Steel" has told The LA Times that he’s writing the script for a possible reboot of "The Invisible Man" for Universal. "It’s a period film but it’s period like Downey’s "Sherlock Holmes" says Goyer. It’s not a done deal yet, though, he warns: “It’s something slowly working its way through the Universal development channels. It’s still alive. We did some pre-vis tests and things like that that they were very happy with. Now we’re going through the casting process. If they get the right lead, they’ll make it.”
The Syfy Channel is planning to reboot "The Philadelphia Experiment" and actor Malcolm McDowell is one of the actors who have jumped on board for a 2012 release.Originally a 1984 theatrical release, the film was based on the urban legend that an experiment in radar masking conducted by the U.S. Navy not only rendered the U.S.S. Philadelphia invisible but actually temporarily transported it elsewhere.
Could Sarah Conner make a return in Terminator 5? Since the movie was announced, a lot of people have been asking whether or not we could see a return for Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor. In a recent interview director Justin Lin revealed that he’d love to bring Sarah Connor back due to her being such a big part of the first two movies.“I’ve always been surprised how in Terminator 3… It was like one line and she was gone.”
"Cloud Atlas", the ambitious literary adaptation being co-written and co-directed by Andy and Lana Wachowski is set to begin shooting mid-to-late September at Germany's Studio Babelsberg. The mega project stars Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Susan Sarandon, Ben Whishaw and Jim Broadbent. The film is based on David Mitchell's epic novel, which follows six story-lines, each set in a different place and era. The novel's timeline and geography stretches from 19th century Australia to a post-apocalyptic Hawaii. Many have called the novel unfilmable.
In an effort to spark interest in science, NASA has teamed up with Tor/Forge Books, to release realistic science fiction novels for young readers. The books will be “NASA inspired Works of Fiction” around concepts pertinent to the current and future work of NASA. NASA plans for the writers to team up with Subject Matter Experts at the Goddard Space Flight Center in order to write scientifically accurate and entertaining novels. NASA hopes that pairing the scientists with award-winning authors will raise awareness and inspire the study of science, technology, engineering and mathmatics
