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!
Spike: Hot. Spike Naked: Not
Buffy may be over, but Marti Noxon has unfinished business with James Marsters. She needs to take his shirt off one last time.
That said, Point Pleasant (Warning: obnoxious Flash) looks like it could be interesting. Pity it debuts verses Alias, which most of the people they’re marketing it towards will be watching.
Just keep James out of it. Maybe they can digitally superempose him over Keanu Reeves in Constantine instead.
Sci-Fi Channel making up for bad Earthsea karma
A familiar face is joining Stargate SG-1. Also mentioned: the new Battlestar Galactica will be joining SG-1 and Atlantis on Friday nights.
Very, very honest?
Ursula K. LeGuin isn’t so fond of the director of Sci-Fi’s Earthsea miniseries claiming they’ve been faithful to the intentions of her novels.
The mini is being roundly bashed by fans as well, with a fervor I haven’t seen since TNT butchered adapted Mists of Avalon.
Why I’m voting for KHAAAAN!
The Truth About The Kirk/Spock Ticket. War crimes! Flip-flopping! And they don’t even go into all the sex with hot alien woman!
Am totally serious about the Khan thing. NOT SO I LIE!
Is it January yet?
TV Guide talks to J.J. Abrams about the fourth season of Alias.
Is Lauren really dead? Will Spy!Mommy return? What the hell did Jack do? Is Sark a sexy bitch or what? Is Lost really enough to tide us over?
Some of these questions are answered. And some I just made up.
Galactica Returns
Looking forward to the new Battlestar Galactica series, the continuation of last year’s mini? It’s already aired in the UK, and AICN’s covering it.
So…
Heard anything about Farscape lately?
Lost takes off
They’re using the word ‘hit’ so it must be true, right? It’s no secret that Lost has already gained quite a fanbase – there’s already a fan site, several Livejournal communities, and even Sawyer fangirls.
And naturally, interviews with the actors. Evangeline Lilly (Kate) on her first speaking role ever; Daniel Dae Kim (Jin)and Yunjin Kim (Sun); Terry O’Quinn (Locke); and Dominic Monaghan (Charlie).
Also in the press, some theories about what’s in that jungle. I don’t know about you, but I’m holding out for Sleestaks. But the theory in the article makes much more sense and probably doesn’t have copyright issues. Or bad rubber suits.
Although… my Cthulhu is missing…
Keeping up with EarthSea
Sci-Fi Channel has two teaser trailersand a gallery up for their EarthSea mini-series. There’s also a short Q&A with the producer, mostly regarding the accuracy of the production.
