Mel Brooks wants to use his famous Star Wars spoof, Spaceballs to lampoon other sci-fi and fantasy films.
He is currently developing an animated version of Spaceballs for television.
May the Schwartz be with you!
Congratulations, Natalie Portman! Golden Globe Winner!
Well, Natalie Portman did us all proud by snagging herself a Golden Globe award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama. Her honor was received for the movie Closer.
Sadly, Liam Neeson went home empty-handed. But I think we can all be comforted by the fact that he looked really good in his tuxedo!
It was actually a Star Wars kinda night in which all the male actors got good marks for their tuxedo choices. Ewan McGregor and Samuel L. Jackson were also in attendance as presenters.
Has anyone found any pictures of the four Star Wars actors together?
More Star Wars Actors in the News
Not that any news could possibly be more cool than yesterday’s announcement of the Vanity Fair cover of colliding Star Wars generations, but there were a couple of other tidbits from Star Wars actors in the news.
Natalie Portman is apparently in final negotiations for the lead female role in V for Vendetta.
And Harrison Ford remains popular with the American public. He was named, yet again, to the Favorite Movie Star list pulled together by the Harris Poll.
And please don’t forget that Ewan McGregor is asking his fans to support UNICEF in the wake of the tsunami disaster.
Harry Potter Spoiler Pictures
The Leaky Cauldron starts out the year with some spoiler pictures from the filming of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Also check out the first picture of that woman we all love to hate: Rita Skeeter.
Stargate Overdose
I know of at least one Club Jader who will be happy, yet overwhelmed, by this news.
It appears that Creation Entertainment (love ’em, or hate ’em) has snagged the rights to an official Stargate convention from the folks who had been running GateCon, lo these many years. But this new convention will feature not only set tours (for those who pay for it), but will also feature a cast talent night.
Now, it’s one weekend before Celebration 3. To attend the Stargate convention? Attend Celebration? Attend both and be in debt for a long time?
What’s a fan to do?
To add to your holiday hangover
Thanks to TFN for pointing out this rather amusing article about the Star Wars Holiday Special.
And did you know that someone actually created a web page to celebrate it?
There’s something out there for everyone.
A little present for the Wantons
Those nice people filming The Island (no official site…yet) have released their first publicity still.
Here’s a look at Ewan McGregor with co-star Scarlett Johansson courtesy of ComingSoon.net.
Can you stand to wait that long?
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be released on July 16th.
That would be 207 days from this post.
4968 hours.
298080 minutes.
17884800 seconds.
::sigh:: I guess we’ll just have to hold ourselves over with Star Wars Episode 3. That’s only 149 days away.
Gollum had issues
While you’re indulging in a four-hour holiday break with your new extended Return of the King DVD, spare a kind thought for Gollum. Just because he’s a little on the nasty side, doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a good reason.
General Solo? Are your troops ready?
Oh. My bad. Not General Solo. It would appear Harrison Ford’s newest role is that of General Jim Mattis in the upcoming movie The Battle for Fallujah.
Guess he’s getting tired of waiting for Indiana Jones IV to materialize.
