There has been a lot of news lately regarding other films like “The Hunger Games” and “The Avengers”. Surprisingly, “The Dark Knight Rises” hasn’t been creating much buzz which is a bit unusual following “The Dark Knight’s” viral marketing campaign.
We did get ahold of this key art featuring a full body image of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman however, so hopefully this will tide you over until more news, photos and promos break before the July 20th release.
Fascinating.
According to CBS, Leonard Nimoy will appear on the March 29th episode of The Big Bang Theory.
“First reported by TVLine.com, Sheldon will have his Star Trek idol Spock (Leonard Nimoy) speak to him in a dream sequence for the March 29th episode.“
If you’ve been watching The Big Bang Theory since the beginning you’d know that Sheldon fangirls over Spock like a pre-teen over Justin Bieber. This has been one guest appearance I have been waiting for (and perhaps some MORE Wil Wheaton please?) and I will be tuning in on the 29th to catch the Nimoy-Sheldon interaction!
Yes, you heard right!
Lucy Liu…Sherlock Holmes…Watson.
Joan Watson to be exact.
The show will be called Elementary and it follows Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) who is a NYPD cop and recovering addict and his ‘sober companion’ and ex-surgeon Watson.
Normally, I like to give remakes a chance..but majority of the time they are horrible and end up being canceled (remember that Charlie’s Angels remake?….me neither) and this is one remake I won’t even bother watching.
I am a long time Sherlock Holmes fan (and no, just JUST of the R.D.J films and BBCs Sherlock) and I cringed when I read that this was happening. I am also a bit peeved about the gender swap (I tend to be in favor of women kicking ass and taking names on television/in movies) but I personally feel Sherlock should be left as is. And how many shows will be put out where the whole premise is a disgruntled/hard headed/’I don’t need no woman tellin’ me what to do but I’ll warm up to you mid-season so hang in there!’ male and his girl sidekick anyway?
A large chunk of the Sherlock Holmes fandom has caused a serious uproar and I know I am hoping that this show just never sees the light of day much like the Wonder Woman remake.
What are your thoughts? Do you think the show should air? Are you cool beans with there being a female Watson?
With “True Blood” and “Twilight” pumping out the pretty-boy vampires, lady killer Johnny Depp will be portraying yet another well groomed creature of the night in Tim Burtons film adaptation of “Dark Shadows”.
Dark Shadows centers on Barnabas, a Liverpool native who moved (with his family) to America in 1752. He grew up to become one of the most popular residents of Collinsport, Maine, and the master of Collinwood Manor. He had everything: good looks, charm and money. Too bad he lost it all when he screwed over Angelique (Eva Green), his ex-girlfriend, who happened to be a witch!
Burton’s “Dark Shadows” will hit theaters this May.
Today, in the heart of Hollywood, cast members of “The Simpsons” showed up to promote this Sunday’s 500th episode. There was a bit more to this meet and greet however as 100 die-hard “Simpsons” fans showed up to help smash a Guinness World Record of consecutive television watching.
The contestants were made comfortable inside a massive yellow tent that would be showing all 500 episodes of the hit show. These crazed couch potatoes will be given 3 meals a day and snacks to sustain them as well as a 10 minute break for every 2 hours they spent in their chairs. Sounds easy enough right? Well not so much.
The contest started at 5:00pm PST and given the 20 minute episodes, commercial free of course, the contestants will be forced to skip REM sleep until about Sunday morning. Judges will be disqualifying anyone who nods off or takes their eyes off the screen for longer than a sneeze.
We will update this post over the next couple of days with some of the results but if you’re like us normal folks, you’ll just be watching “The Simpsons” 500th episode from the comfort of your own home, after a full night’s sleep, this Sunday night on FOX.
Be sure to check out our interviews with Al Jean, Nancy Cartwright and Yeardley Smith on the podcast! Also, check out Yeardly Smith’s line of shoes which will be sold on Zappos in the coming weeks.
Also, a huge thank you to Steve Siebold for photographing the event.
ThisJuly we will be seeing new 12 inch statues and busts of Batman, Bane and Catwoman from the upcoming movie, “The Dark Knight Rises”. The film opens in theaters and IMAX on July 20,2012.
You may have geeked out over her when she portrayed Lois Lane in the hit WB show “Smallville” but Erica Durance gives nerds a whole new reason to lock their doors after saying goodnight to their parents.
In this week’s episode of “Harry’s Law”, Durance sports the Wonder Woman outfit which was designed for the show that never made it to production.
Assuming you made it past the images above, here are a couple of videos for you to dwell on.
This episode of “Harry’s Law” will air January 11th at 9:00pm ET.
