STAR WARS
Carrie
Fisher made headlines by telling The
Hollywood Reporter she’s
confirmed for the next Star Wars
movie. Turns out it was “a joke”. Her
reps said,
“Nothing
had been announced.” I can’t imagine them signing her before anyone else.

DOCTOR WHO
“Doctor Who” season 7 (and a half) returns this month with new
adventures for the Doctor (Matt
Smith) and his new companion, Clara
(Jenna-Louise
Coleman). BBC America released new photos from the first
episodes.

The first images of the updated Ice Warriors have been released. Steven
Moffat told SFX magazine: “It was Mark’s idea to bring the Ice Warriors
back. He’d been pitching it for a while.”
Here’s what they looked like back in the day.

J.J. Abrams‘ Star Trek
Into Darkness opens early in the U.K.

this is payback for the whole American Revolution thing.(Via The
Hollywood Reporter)
There was a Kickstarter
project called The Green
Girl by George Pappy about Star

We used to always get movies first, but more and more open elsewhere in the world first.
It's a grand experiment Alex. The International market is exploding right now.
I really need to have my British blogger friends go to the movies and record them for me. So if Chris Cooper is Norman Osborne does that mean he'll be the Green Goblin? I have a hard time envisioning that.
He makes a great villain, but he's no Dafoe Pat.
As slick as everything is now, you've gotta love those old school Dr Who costumes and sometimes wobbly scenery!
It was almost like live theater back in the day Nick.
are we going to hear about star wars … until the film gets released, i hope so..
I can never get enough Jeremy. Soon they'll be releasing press releases that there's nothing to say.
