Okay. I’ve fallen a bit behind on all the Heroes news. Their casting office has been quite busy the last few weeks.
SyFy Portal has very kindly summarized the new cast additions for me.
Fans of Alias, Veronica Mars and Enterprise will be pleased.
ADB is AOK, now
Big surprise. Amazon jumped the gun on premiering David Hewlett‘s movie A Dog’s Breakfast. (I know. You’re shocked!) However, all has been straightened out.
You can continue to pre-order the DVD from Amazon (although you can now do so officially)
And if you just can’t wait, you can download it from Amazon Unbox or iTunes.
And good news for non-US audiences. The international release will be the first quarter of 2008.
I’ve been lucky enough to see this film. You will be giggling for days. (And if you’re not a Gate Geek, don’t run away. This has nothing to do with Stargate, except for the cast and crew. And there’s a great sci-fi spoof in it that every genre fan can appreciate.)
Stargate Stuff
For a franchise that’s on summer hiatus, there’s still a lot of activity out there.
GateWorld spoke with Robert Cooper about the end of Stargate SG1. Find out all sorts of interesting tidbits about how things might have ended and what’s coming our way in the straight-to-DVD movies.
Cute pictures from their sister franchise, Stargate Atlantis, straight from the recent set tour. (David Hewlett’s jacket. Love it? Or hate it?)
And SyFy Portal surfs the YouTube so you don’t have to. (Oh. And the article starts with some show called Jericho.)
Eureka! We have a set tour
Those of you who, like me, are a bit geeky about Eureka (which starts up again the week after next) will enjoy the TV Squad story about the set. Apparently the quirkiness goes down to the detail level for this production.
You can see the full interview panel for the show here and here.
Stargate Roundup: Wraiths and babies and effects…oh my!
SciFi hosted a media tour on various Vancouver area show sets this week. The stories are now starting to flow:
– No Stargate movies until 2008. Are all those nifty effects causing it?
– The Wraith are bringing sexy back.
– The SG1 finale gets it some Nielson love
– And Sam has her hands full, as does Rachel Luttrell. But the women are going to get some good stuff in Season 4!
As always, mild spoilerage for upcoming events. Tread at your own risk.
Our little Danny, all grown up
Harry Potter V producer David Heyward got a bit choked up watching Daniel Radcliffe portray Harry Potter’s first kiss.
I’m sure Daniel really appreciates all the mushiness.
Star Trek XI? Engage
We have a script, people. Scriptwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci have confirmed that they have completed the script for Star Trek XI. And, no surprise here, the story focuses on the early adventures of Kirk and Spock.
Bobby Ewing Would’ve Loved This
We totally knew it wasn’t real. Check out the latest from the Holonet.
Stargate SG1: A Tribute and An Interview
Some interesting stuff out there after SG1’s bow.
GateWorld has put together a lovely tribute to the show that is a combination fan tribute and cast/crew tribute. Full of lovely pictures that haven’t been seen other places, it’s well worth making your way through all the pages.
GateWorld also posted an interview with Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson) that not only talks about the next stage of SG1, but includes what they were thinking when they acted out “that scene.”
A Dog’s DVD
A Dog’s Breakfast is the much buzzed-about “what I did on my winter hiatus” film from Stargate Atlantis actor David Hewlett.
It was filmed using cast, crew and even sets from the Stargate franchise and has been earning additional showings and awards at many film festivals over the past year.
MGM has finally announced a September 18th release date for the DVD.
I went ahead and bought the download and found it beyond funny. If you enjoy British comedies, you’ll enjoy this one.
