STAR WARS

“I might have said things in the past that were characterizations of

Star wars fan Adam Schickling created this awesome Star
Wars: Episode VII Poster Art “I created this poster at 30×40 in. based
on how I thought the Star Wars characters would look in the new movie.
Since at this time I know nothing about who will be cast in the film, I
thought it would be cool to create a one sheet showing some of our
favorite characters from the Star Wars franchise. I had a blast
creating this art.” (via The
Force.net)

IRON MAN

Check out this awesome Tony Stark Light-Up LED Iron Man Shirt that has an arc reactor.

X-MEN

Bryan Singer was devastated by leaving the X-Men franchise.
“I’ve never told anybody this, but I found the whole letting go of the
characters for X-Men 3 so traumatising that a friend, who shall remain
nameless, had to take me to a secret location and show me the reels so
far. Just so I could make my peace with it.” (via Blastr)

ODDS & ENDS

• Jon M. Chu talks about the He-Man Reboot “We’re still early, but
  we’re deep in experimenting. This is the most fun phase for me because
  we get to try everything we’ve ever wanted to try in ‘Masters,’ and
  then we get to throw out all the things that don’t work – which is most
  of it – to know what our right tone is, where we’re going to head with
  it. And it’s a very important phase because it shows you the direction
  we’re going to go in the future. We’re very early. We don’t know a lot
  yet, other than we’re playing around having a lot of fun.” (via
  ScreenRant)

• This week someone claimed the President has alien bodyguards.
  “I can’t confirm the claims made in this
  video, but any alleged program to guard the president with aliens or
  robots would likely have to be scaled back or eliminated in the
  sequester,” Caitlin Hayden, the chief spokeswoman for the National
  Security Council, said. “I’d refer you to the Secret
  Service or Area 51 for more details.” (via io9)
•  The first 14-minuites of the new SyFy series Defiance is online. (via Sci-Fi
