litheraPeter Jackson is continuing to talk about The Hobbit but when it comes down to it after King Kong, he's said he wants to make some smaller movies again before making anything bigger.
MC Hammer has teamed with writer-producer Devon Shepard for a comedy series project for the WB Network to star the former rapper. The project falls under MC Hammer's blind script deal with the network, which he signed following his stint on the WB reality series The Surreal Life.
The casting for Harry Potter 4 is begining. They're changing directors again but that might actually be a good way to deal with the shifting tone of the books.
According to an interview with TV guide, Joss Wheadon says the Firefly movie is currently not going anywhere. They might be waiting to see how DVD sales go.
All of the reviews I've seen of the Passion of Christ make it so that I am defiantely going to go see it. Most of the reviews I seen have been by non-Christians but they are all amazingly positive. The movie is powerful and moving without being preachy. To quote Vegas from AICN: "This, to me, is a film about one thing: there was a woman who saw her baby tortured, humiliated, and killed right before her very eyes, and she loved him. And nothing she could say could get him to end it, because he loved everyone else."
It doesn't look good for Enterprise. They're starting to talk about next year being it and only making enough episodes to make it elligable for syndication. (You need 100, or so I'm told.)
The ball is definately rolling on a Hitchhiker's movie but it remains to see how far it will roll this time.
Ben Affleck says he's not interested in doing Daredevil 2 - unless Kevin Smith does it and asks him.
And.... I think that's it.

Date: 2003-12-09 11:10 am (UTC)... there are DVD's of the series? I need a DVD player. I miss Firefly. I was disapointed when they replaced it with that 'Fastlane' crap.

I hear that the Firefly collection has 3 episodes on it tha tnever made it to the air. Don't get me started on Fox tv killing decent shows like Firefly and John Doe to air shyte like Fastlane.
Grrrrrrrrrr.

Date: 2003-12-09 04:57 pm (UTC)Fox completley gets on my nerves. Get rid of something awsome, only to replace it with bad pop- culture references to hip hop and guns. Where's the love for the Sci- Fi- ers? Where's the love?!. And the articles that confirmed it was making most of america stupid didnt' help. Not at all.
John Doe was a good show at times, though I wasn't too turned on by his niaeve (sp?) attitude. The good boy thing had to go. And that grit an imorality was why I liked Firefly. That and the guy who named his gun Vera.

Date: 2003-12-09 05:04 pm (UTC)The thing that irked me about John Doe, was the fact that they killed off his teenage secretary, etc. That was totally uncalled for, the fact that it was supposed to take place in Seattle, but if if you watched it, it screamed of shot in Canada (come on Seattle, make it economically feasible and attractive to film here), and some of the groaners that were delivered by William Forsythe:
"may all your up and downs be between the sheets."

Date: 2003-12-09 05:10 pm (UTC)I don't really know about the killing that girl thing. It seemed on some level like the show was trying too hard on the mystery card. There seemed to be missing some continuiy and relation. ::sigh:: I guess it's just CSI now, but they seem to be getting... weird... too.
