Genndy Tartakovsky: "Clone Wars fits in my day here and there, as with everything else," he says. "Luckily 'Samurai Jack' is just ending up. I finished the last storyboard in December. So, slowly, Star Wars just took over. I'll still be doing post-production on 'Samurai Jack' until the very end of Star Wars, and we'll be done Star Wars by late summer." ... "It's basically all the same people that did 'Jack,' except for a couple of new ones here and there. We have this guy from Oregon, Michel Gagne, and he's doing all the effects designs. I wanted all the effects to be really stylized and specific, so it feels more nurtured. He's going to design them all and animate a lot of them himself."

Warner Home Video will not be releasing the previously announced The Matrix Special Edition double-disc DVD. In a shift in strategy to broaden the 'Matrix' fan base prior to the May 15 theatrical release of the highly anticipated sequel The Matrix Reloaded, Warner Home Video will reprice The Matrix DVD to $19.99 on April 29. The Matrix DVD will include a mail-in movie ticket offer for the sequel, which must be received by June 6, 2003. This offer will be included in the single DVD as well as the two-pack. Additionally, it will include a $5 mail-in rebate for "The Animatrix" DVD, releasing June 3 from Warner Home Video.

MI6 Headquarters has received unconfirmed word that shooting on "James Bond 21" could start as soon as January 2004 at Pinewood Studios.

So many freaking Superman casting rumors. Just cast that damned thing already, would you? Ugh. Stupid movie.

As much as it hurts me, I think I'm going to have to Tivo the Return to the Batcave thing. It should be funny. And the show always did have a spot in my heart.

The new trailer for Bruce Almighty makes it look like a slightly different movie than the first one. Still looks funny, but there is more to it than the first one lead you to believe. I think I'll catch it.

Buffalo Soliders looks pretty funny. Joaquin Phoenix, Ed Harris, Scott Glenn, Anna Paquin.... Yeah. "War is hell... But peace? Peace is boring." It's a satrical comedy about American soldiers in Germany just before the fall of the Berlin Wall.

wow! DC's got Elfquest. oooohhhhhhhh! That could go so drastically in either direction. I will have hope for goodness. :)

The Pini's are working on it. As far as I can tell it is still their baby, just using the money and power of DC.

SWEET! I will have even more hope then. Plus we get the back issues in color again! Yay!

See, I always preferred the black and whites for the regular issues. While love my color collections, there's something about the b&w that pulls me in. *ponders*
