Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
November 11th sees The Clone Wars movie released on DVD – and it’s the first Star Wars movie to make the jump to the new-fangled Blu-Ray format as well. There will be one-disc and two-disc versions of the standard DVD, plus Best Buy exclusive versions of all three. Get all the details at StarWars.com.
Yes, the new DVD sets that first appeared on Digital Bits are indeed just the ones we already have, in handy box-set form. They’ll be in stores November 4th.
Don’t get your hopes up – it looks like a reissue of the ‘limited edition’ DVDs (for the original trilogy) and standard prequel editions repackaged in two trilogy sets for $49.98 each. Perhaps to coincide with The Clone Wars‘ TV (or DVD?) debut? (via)
Since I’m a romantic sap, I’m going to kick off this week’s update with pictures from David Hewlett‘s wedding to The Lovely (TM) Jane Loughman. Being a true geek, David knew the importance of getting coverage out online before horrible camera phone pictures snuck out. Best wishes to them both!
More pictures, but this time of the official variety with the official promo shots for Season 5.
While Stargate Atlantis enjoys a hiatus before its July 11th return, the official site teases us about Continuum by posting a video touting the return of the great Richard Dean Anderson.
Also in stores today, the second direct-to-DVD Futurama movie! Featuring Steven Hawking! And tentacles!
Brad Wright is talking Stargate Continuum. (Careful if you’re avoiding spoilers.) And there’s also the news that we should be hearing something about a proposed new series, Stargate Universe, “pretty soon.” Sweet! (via)
GateWorld interviews Jason Momoa who gives a few more tidbits on upcoming Ronon storylines, the ongoing pain of his hair, vacationing in Hawai’i with Joe Flanigan and, quite by surprise, Rachel Luttrell. He and Joe are now sharing a place in Vancouver as the family-less dads.
Another Stargate dad, Christopher Judge, gives a nice, huge interview to SciFi Australia.
Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs will be out on DVD June 24th! (via)
Yes. It’s been a while. Y’see, there was this trip out to Pegasus. The Apollo developed engine trouble. It was this whole thing….
Okay. Not really. But let’s catch up, shall we?
Not to be outdone by a show that’s still on the air, the SG1 news:
Like no one saw this coming: the second trailer for Indiana Jones and the Crystal King of Skulldom will be coming out on Paramount’s Iron Man on May 1 (which is being pushed forward 4 hours – from a midnight show to 8 pm showings). And the most important news about the Indy IV trailer: It’s 1 minute and 49 seconds. Apparently, they plan to stretch the whole movie out to 2 hours, 20 minutes.
NPR talks to real archaeologists about the most famous fictional archaeologist/treasure hunter. The Arizona Republic looks at Indiana Jones and the need for nostalgia.
Want to see Indiana Jones and the King Skull of Crystaldom before opening day (and can’t afford to go to Cannes)? There’s going to be a charity screening on May 18 in Oklahoma City.
and what’s the latest at StarWars.com about Indiana Jones?
Okay, Gate geeks, behold the pretty and the dramatic. We have the teaser trailer for Continuum!
