A Dog’s Breakfast Screening!

While we await progress on Aaron‘s Deadbacks, another film is progressing that is of interest to our readers.

David Hewlett‘s A Dog’s Breakfast will be having its first screening in Los Angeles on November 16th. The film stars many actors from the Vancouver sci-fi TV community; including most of the actors from the various Stargates.

In addition, anyone who has a dog will be quite amused (and rather disgusted) by the latest clip from the film.

The development of LOTR

The early days of the Lord of the Rings films in a excerpt from an upcoming Peter Jackson biography:

“At one point Bob said: ‘So there’s these four hobbits, right? And, you know, they go on this adventure and none of the hobbits die?’ Well, no, we explained. Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin all survive . . . ‘Well, we can’t have that,’ he said. ‘We’ve got to kill a hobbit! I don’t care which one; you can pick — I’m not telling you who it should be: you pick out who you want to kill, but we’ve really got to kill one of those hobbits!’

Teehee!

Movie News: Elves so 2003

Will Eragon be the next Lord of the Rings? Look, I’m just laying my bet now: no. Although comparing Eragon’s number of friends on MySpace to how many hits the Saw III website has is just silly.

Speaking of adaptions of beloved fantasy classics (in the vein of LOTR, not Johnny-come-lately Eragon) Walden Media’s adaption of The Dark is Rising now has a director: David Cunningham of The Path to 9/11 and (More hopefully? Maybe?) 2005’s Little House on the Prairie miniseries.

Tom Cruise wants a cameo the next Trek film. Pretty likely, given the (current) director is his buddy J.J. Abrams.
