litheraNeil Gaiman announced this morning on The Today Show that Neil Jordan will write and direct the live-action adaptation of The Graveyard Book. Neil Jordan should be a familiar name to all of you. He directed Interview with The Vampire and The Crying Game.
Daniel Craig has signed on as the pirate Red Rackham in “The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn”. If you're keeping track out there that has him joining joining Jamie Bell as the boy reporter Tintin, Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock and Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as Thomson and Thompson. It has also been announced that in addition to Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish have come aboard as writers. It's a geekapalooza over there.
Legend of the Seeker has been renewed for a second season. Anyone watching this thing? I hear echoes from time to time about how 'they've ruined everything because it isn't like the books' but I haven't watched anything. I know a lot of people who like those Goodkind books but, personally, it being nothing like the books would be a reason to watch.
ABC has just greenlit a pilot for a remake of V. The main character will be a female Homeland Security agent. Wheeee? You cannot capture the cheesy awesome again. I really don't think so and I have a hard time seeing ABC going the route of a Galactica re-imagining.
Looks like the Red Dwarf Easter special is happening and it will be in two parts. There is an article up on the BBC but even the premise of this special can be considered spoiler territory.
There is a retelling of Samson and Delilah set in the future beginning to be worked on. Wheee?
