OTHER NEWS
Small bits of information continue to flow in regarding the next Star Trek movie. Filming on the movie starts January 15th and set
construction has already started. In addition, Industrial Light And Magic has already started
work on some of the effects shots for the movie. Also JJ Abrams traveled to Hawaii to scout a location which is being
seriously considered for a "jungle planet." Finally the plot of the
film is described as "bigger" in scope than the 2009 Star Trek film.
In related Trek XII news, rumors continue to crop up online that the Klingons
will be part of the second film. Not only that but one site claims that the tribbles could get some screen time.
A big screen adaptation of "Doctor Who" is currently in the planning stages, with David Yates of Harry Potter directorial fame at the helm. Variety points out that this film version will be a full-on reboot, seemingly
indicating any continuity from the show’s long history, or the Russell
T. Davies and Steven Moffat eras, will not necessarily have anything to
do with this project.
It seems that prices keep rising on everything these days...even bionic people! A big-screen reboot of the popular 70′s series "The Six Million Dollar Man"
appears headed forward, only this time it will be the "Six Billion
Dollar Man" Bryan Singer is in conversations to direct the film and
Leonardo DiCaprio is in talks to
take on the role of Steve Austin.
Popular
television scientist Bill Nighy has some reassuring words for fans
worried about the remake of "Total Recall". Nighy, who plays Kuato, the
leader of the rebels says "The original is treasured by people, I know,
but I think I can help
them relax. I think it’s in very, very good hands. The script is
fabulous. I like sci-fi. I’m not keen on monsters from outer space, or
that kind of thing, too much, although I’ll go with it, in certain
cases. But, I love imaginative representations of a possible
near-future"
There have been unofficial reports coming in for awhile now about Albert Pyun's intent to move
ahead with a prequel to his 1980's "Cyborg". Now it looks like a full movie is quickly shaping up. This week, the director
started test photography on "Cyborg: Rise of the Slingers"
. As for the storyline Pyun says "The big issue never really addressed by Cyborg was the plague that
destroyed the world."
AMC is making the leap into science fiction following the announcement that they
have bought "Thunderstruck", an hour-long UFO project developed by several people, including former "Battlestar Galactica" executive producer David Eick.
