Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be split into two films to be released in November 2010 and May 2011 respectively. David Yates is to direct both films and Steve Kloves will write the scripts.
Woot!
Yes ladies and gents, it’s the official full-length Wall-E trailer, in HD and everything.
Check out the box art for Soul Calibur IV. I have no idea who any of those other folks are, but you should be able to spot two familiar faces – Yoda on Xbox, Vader on Playstation.
Look for the game in June.

Frosty at Collider.com has dug up some information on the live-action show. A lot of it is stuff we’ve already heard, but here’s a key part:
I’ve heard they’re talking about the show being on HBO or even Showtime. Which jives with the slugline for the show…think Deadwood meets The Sopranos. Want a bit more? Could the live action show feature Gangsters? Could it follow the underworld of the Star Wars universe? Perhaps even a crime family? Have I said too much?
Intriguing, no? Oh, would that I had time to Photoshop someone’s head on Tony Soprano or Al Swearengen’s body. Maybe later.
Dude, io9. Like it’s humanly possible for Indiana Jones to flop? Remember how The Phantom Menace made $64,820,970 on it’s opening weekend back in 1999? It might not have been a critical success, it may not have knocked down Titanic, it may have irrevocably changed the landscape of Star Wars fandom in a way Han shooting first could only dream of, but that sucker pulled in the cash. Never underestimate the power of nostalgia. Or the addition of Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg.
That said, I did vote for Speed Racer.

Coke collectibles from 70’s Japan are exactly as cracky as you might expect. Well, okay, maybe just this one.
Just what you wanted for morning, right? Well, real or fabrication, Game Set Watch found a Gamasutra comment from that may (or may not) shed some light on Jim Ward’s departure last month.
