Stuff and things for you!
Feb. 28th, 2008 10:44 amVariety has published an in-depth article talking about how a possible Screen Actors Guild (SAG) strike could affect movie productions in a big way, obviously. Essentially Hollywood studios are refusing to schedule new start dates on films that can't complete shooting by June 30.
Here are a few more specific notes: Steven Spielberg has halted an April production start on the The Trial of the Chicago 7. Transformers 2 is still on track for June 26, 2009. Justice League is aiming at mid July 2009, they're looking at getting a rewrite of the script in the next six weeks, which is good because it needs it. WB revealed earlier this week that it will begin shooting Terminator 4 on May 5 in Albuquerque. Sony will begin shooting its The Da Vinci Code sequel Angels & Demons in Rome on June 5.

A new Get Smart trailer is here - http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/getsmart/ I'm going to be there for The Rock, if nothing else. I love him so.
Variety reports that CBS has picked up three more drama projects. "NY-LON" is based on a six-episode U.K. series that aired on Channel 4 in fall 2004. The project centers on a man and a woman who attempt an extremely-long distance romance (between New York and London) after a chance meeting in London. "Mythological X" revolves around a woman who discovers -- via psychic -- that she has already dated the man she was destined to married. The character then embarks on a mission to find "the one" by combing through all of her old relationships. "Can Openers" centers on a woman in her 20s as she enters a seven-year neurosurgical residency, encountering a competitive, clubby atmosphere along the way. Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain have joined the staff of Joss Whedon's Fox project "Dollhouse."
According to Marv Wolfman, the direct-to-video Teen Titans: The Judas Contract animated feature, could be in trouble. Wolfman states the movie is currently on hold because, according to Warner Home Video, there may not be a big enough audience for the Teen Titans: The Judas Contract to be successful. Teen Titans: The Judas Contract was originally scheduled to be the third DC Universe Animated Movie before Warner Home Video delayed it, opting to produce Batman: Gotham Knight and Wonder Woman instead. Man. I WANT THIS SO MUCH. Arg.
JMS, who is writing the Silver Surfer movie, says that Galactus will be much more present in that than he was in FF2. Well. I should hope so. But currently there is no director, no release date...
Here is an interesting review of 4th Ed for D&D - http://www.aintitcool.com/node/35776
And there is a VERY impassioned plea about the current cut of Where The Wild Things Are - http://www.aintitcool.com/node/35768
