'Captain America' Finds His Storyteller

19 November 2008 1:46 AM, PST | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

Marvel has done well in their second turn in keeping their next big superhero in the news cycle as news screenwriting duo Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have been brought aboard to pen the script for First Avenger: Captain America based on the 1941 Jack Kirby and Joe Simon created comicbook superhero. Markus and McFeely both contributed to the first two Narnia films as well as the Ben Kingsley 2007 starrer You Kill Me. The news comes 9 days after director Joe Johnston was named as the film's helmer, but there still remains no word on who is being considered for the lead role of Steve Rogers a man deemed too frail to enter the Army, but through a secret 'Super-Soldier Serum' he becomes a perfect specimen. Following his transformation he sets out as Captain America in a war against evil. Captain America is also the leader of the superhero group knows as the Avengers,

Mega Buzz on Grey's, House, Lost, NCIS and More!

As always, you may direct your own spoilery needs to mega_scoop@tvguide.com. Having Denny appear on one episode of Grey's Anatomy, because Izzie's memories were triggered by a case, is one thing. But to make him a ghostly fixture in her life and carry on some kind of romance from beyond the grave is beyond ridiculous. — Evie

Matt: I hear you. Getting it on with a ghost is so circa-1981 Barbara Hershey. Now, if s-e-x between living, breathing humans is what floats your boat — and lord knows the pickings are slim if you only watch Grey's, Ghost Whisperer and Supernatural these days — Drs. Owen Hunt and Cristina Yang might soon move beyond spontaneous necking and into full-on boinking. As Kevin McKidd himself tells me,

NY Horror Film Fest Night 3: Review of Alien Raiders

15 November 2008 10:12 AM, PST | From QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news

Year: 2008

DVD Release date: February 27, 2008

Director: Ben Rock

Writer: Julia Fair / David Simkins

IMDb: link

Trailer: link

Review by: Bob Doto

Rating: 7 out of 10

Straight up. "Aliens Raiders" as a title does not do it for me, and that alone almost prevented me from seeing it. I’m glad I did see it, however, because Alien Raiders is a good film, but the title honestly made me itchy. Now, I say this not as an off-hand “this is just me” comment, but because this film has had a number of different titles since its creation ("Supermarket" [which I love as a title] and "Inhuman" [which is the title of one of Sonic Youth’s best songs, so…]), Given this “identity crisis,” as Dread Central so aptly put it, I know the name has been of some concern. But I get it. Genre film. Old-school genre film. And since this movie is going straight to DVD I imagine it doesn’t hurt to cast the biggest net. So, I’ll concede.

Wayne's Worlds: It's Going To Be A Bumpy Ride

8 October 2008 1:49 PM, PDT | From syfyportal.com | See recent syfyportal news

I want to thank whomever from the SciFi Channel reads my column. Back in August, I said: "SciFi Channel ... could you please go ahead and run 'Haunted' in the same way as 'Charlie Jade'?" For those who don't know, "Haunted" was a short-lived Upn program that starred Matthew Fox of "Lost" fame. The network has twice aired the first two episodes, but pulled it from their schedule once they aired. Replace "Charlie Jade" with "Haunted" at 3 a.m., and I'll be happy. Well, SciFi did me one better, and will run most of the episodes from the show in a daytime block on Oct. 9, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. My recorder is ready, so thank you, SciFi Channel! Since the new 2008-09 season is significantly underway, I thought I was give my first impressions of the genre shows that have returned or ...

Avi Arad Bringing ‘Mass Effect’ To The Big Screen

19 September 2008 10:45 PM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

Avi Arad, ex-CEO of Marvel studios, has optioned the movie rights to the 2007 hit game Mass Effect.

Mass Effect was developed by Bioware, creators of the super-successful Knights of the Old Republic (the best Star Wars game ever on the consoles in my opinion). It is published by Video Game powerhouse Electronic Arts (EA) and was released exclusively on the Xbox 360 console and later the PC.

Avi Arad made it big when Marvel Comics went bankrupt in the mid-nineties. Toy Biz, which he helmed at the time, acquired the company in a sloppy mess of a merger/acquisition. He was instrumental in pulling Marvel out of bankruptcy and expanding the company into the film industry.

 

I personally think he is one of the reasons that comic book-based films are currently the hottest thing in the industry. It seems every comic property is being bought up by studios left, right and center…

Fox Brokers Lucrative New Lost Deal

15 August 2008 9:07 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Latest: Actor Matthew Fox has reached a new pay deal with TV bosses, taking his Lost salary to $225,000 (GBP112,500) per episode.

The star's wage negotiations were first highlighted earlier this week (begs11Aug08), when Fox and his co-star Evangeline Lilly were rumoured to be seeking a $70,000 (GBP35,000) pay rise to keep them on the hit drama.

But Fox has now signed a lucrative new contract with ABC Studios executives, putting him in the same pay bracket as the main stars of another successful ABC series, Desperate Housewives.

The rest of the Lost cast are still reportedly trying to broker new wage deals, but representatives for ABC Studios and Fox have refused to comment.

11 August 2008 12:10 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Actors Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly have reportedly launched a bid to increase their pay by up to $70,000 (GBP35,000) per episode for their work on hit U.S. TV show Lost.

The series' stars are alleged to be in negotiations with ABC Studios to increase their rate to a reported $150,000 (GBP75,000) per show.

And the pair's bidding war has reportedly prompted other actors in the series to seek out a raise.

Cast members have reportedly banked an estimated $80,000 (GBP40,000) to $90,000 (GBP45,000) for each show prior to the negotiations.

Today’s events included watching the Season 3 premiere episode of Heroes, which was a huge unexpected bonus. It looks like the show is getting its mojo back and if you’re a fan you’re really going to like it when it returns this Fall.

 

The Lost panel was attended by the executive producers (who revealed next to nothing) and Matthew Fox (who said almost nothing). They did manage to entertain the crowd, but overall it was cotton candy: a lot of fluff but not very nourishing.

One of the big surprises was how awesome the new Terminator Salvation trailer turned out to be. It was really very impressive and

Comic-Con ‘08: Lost Panel

26 July 2008 3:24 PM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

The Lost panel opened with a number of video clips that were not from the show. The first was a documentary style report about the survivors of the crash, talking about them and asking whether the situation was what it seemed, or if there was some sort of conspiracy.

Then there was what seemed like a DVD extra feature showing some of the cast members on the set, specifically the new additions from the freighter.

Executive producers Carlton Cuse and David Lindelof were in attendance.

 

The producers joked that there were new sponsors for the Lost panel: The Dharma Initiative. Related to that, someone came out who supposedly is the head of the Dharma Initiative, speaking as if it was real and saying that they are recruiting. So far this panel is really strange, and I suppose that’s in line with the mystery of the series. Personally I found

Propects for Emmy acting awards

From drama, comedy and miniseries, these actors are up for the part.

By Tom O'Neil, The Envelope

Emmy's winners for acting are chosen in a three-tier system by actors who belong to the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

The five nominees in each category are then announced July 17. Winners are decided based on judges' scores of the sample episodes and are revealed at the awards ceremony to
