Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Fans at CE will get a first look at the rough cut of Fanboys, along with a Q&A with director Kyle Newman.
Only a week?
Fans of Indiana Jones should mark their calendars for October 23, 2007 as the release date for the first of three DVD sets for the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (shown on TV in 1992-1993). Paramount Home Entertainment will release Volume 1 in October, with Volumes 2 and 3 released sometime later, raising hype for Indy IV. I was a big fan of the YIJC, as I was about his age when the show aired, taking Indy through many adventures around the world, and meeting historical figures during his travels.
And speaking of the fourth installment of the man with the hat and the whip, Rotten Tomatoes has some speculation as to the plot of Indy IV.
Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson’s wands, hand and footprints were immortalized in a ceremony yesterday at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
Thanks to the folks at Harry Potter’s Page for the video.
Daniel Radcliffe in a leather vest. Oh honey. I know you don’t want to be Harry Freaking Potter for the rest of your life, but there have got to be better ways to express it.
However, the best part may be Emma Watson’s reaction. (via luna_k)
Aww. No Shatner for the new Trek film. (Straight from the man, himself.)
The new season of Eureka starts up tonight (Tuesday) on SciFi. Apparently there’s quite the nifty new Global Dynamics set that has sprung up in the wake of last year’s explosive ending.
And at least The Detroit News finds this show to be as funny as I do.
The Comic Con schedule was released yesterday, and TFN makes note of the Star Wars book panel, which promises:
Keith Clayton (editor, Del Rey) will reveal an exclusive announcement on an upcoming Star Wars title from Del Rey and LucasBooks, just for audience members at Comic-Con!
Very likely not a novel, but certainly could be interesting. Fans are theorizing that it could be the soft-confirmed Atlas of the Star Wars Galaxy.
Nora Mayers’ The Capture of Imperial Hazard is the latest WEG story to gain new life through Hyperspace. According to the Wookieepedia, it originally appeared in the Star Wars Adventure Journal 10.
In other Hyperspace/WEG (OTP!) news, I’ve been lax in reporting the Source Archive, where various bits and pieces from the sourcebooks of ye olden gaming days are being revived. It appeared shortly after C4, and was the result of a request at the con. (See, it pays to come to the Fan Club Lounge!)
Wednesday brings Legacy #14 and Rebellion #8 to the comic shops.
And take a look ahead at Dark Horse for October: Legacy #17, Dark Time #6, KOTOR #22, Crimson Empire hardcover and a ANH Photo Comic. (Okay: In what universe are photo comics a good idea?)
