Movie news.

John Cho has been cast as Sulu.

And... Wait for it....

Simon Pegg has been cast as Scotty.

All we really have left is McCoy. There are negotiations in the works for Kirk right now.

Watchmen is currently filming in Vancouver.

If you go to http://optimus.transformersmovie.com/ you can Optimus Prime call your friends.

Here is a tasty chunk of rumor for you. Bryan Singer is currently making a movie. He is rumored to asking someone in that movie to come with him to make his Superman sequel. That man's name? Terence Stamp. And that might actually get some wheels rolling.

The reviews on The Mist are rolling in and they're all very pleased reviews. They all say that the movie is dark. Very dark. Like crazy dark. Do not expect your happy train to come through here ever dark. I'm thrilled.

Simon Pegg as Scotty is freakin' brilliant, I never would have thought of that! I want to give the casting directors a hug and a latte.

Me too. Me too a lot.

...is it wrong of me to be as interested in the Flash interface as I am in the call? I AM SUCH A GEEK!

I can't help but think with a decent microphone and enough time to record sufficient variables, I could make some pretty darn silly things like that myself.

I loved the call from Samuel L. Jackson one for Snakes on a Plane, too. :)

Me too. I really enjoyed having Sam Jackson call people.

I'm ready to see The Mist. It looks like it might be a genuine horror movie that might actually be scary as shit.

I was starting to think those had become a lost art.

So had I, my friend. So had I.

I am really having a hard time with the idea of Simon Pegg as Scotty. I just... no, I don't see it.
