David Kemper is back in a big way.
The creator of Sci Fi Channel's Farscape--which ran four seasons on the network and was its highest-rated show at the time--has a deal with the network to create five new TV movies. Kemper also has a new series that is drawing interest from cable channels.
Kemper's first two films from the deal are the horror films Heat Stroke and Tyrannosaurus Azteca. They will air sometime next year, most likely in the network's Saturday Movie slot.
The new series in development by Kemper is being described as a postapocalyptic action series in the vein of Xena, The Warrior Princess. The series is based on a comic book.
Rigel Entertainment is coproducing the TV movies and producing the new series. Rigel president David Macaione says that three cable nets are interested in the new show, but he would not specify which three.
Sci Fi Channel has had even greater ratings success since Farscape, with Battlestar Galactica and Eureka each pulling in good numbers.

'Spaceballs' to become TV cartoon
Mel Brooks is developing an animated TV series based on his comedy feature "Spaceballs."
Like the 1987 movie, which parodied well-known science-fiction movies, "Spaceballs: The Animated Series" will spoof current blockbusters as well as every genre of entertainment from movies and reality TV to culture and politics.
It is set to debut on cable network G4 in fall 2007. Production has already started on an initial batch of 13 episodes.
Brooks, who will voice two characters in the show, co-wrote the pilot with longtime collaborator Thomas Meehan, who will oversee all writing for the series.

Shatner, Nimoy and 40 years of 'Star Trek'
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy first appeared as "Star Trek's" Capt. James T. Kirk and his first officer, Mr. Spock, on September 8, 1966 -- 40 years ago Friday.
Nobody has let them forget it since.
Indeed, Shatner and Nimoy seem downright, uh, reluctant to answer questions about that anniversary. Perhaps they're tired of hearing fans ask them about time travel in "City on the Edge of Forever." Or Vulcan mating rituals in "Amok Time." Or what it was like to wear pointy ears for three years on TV -- and many more on film.
After innumerable anniversaries, interviews, conventions, books, press junkets, red carpet arrival lines, DVD featurettes and commentaries, it's abundantly clear: They are so over "Star Trek."
If you ask them what still gets them fired up about the late producer Gene Roddenberry's creation after all these years, you get an answer that -- underneath the glibness -- is very telling:
SHATNER: Money.
NIMOY: Yeah. The big, the big bucks.
SHATNER: Money. The money gets you fired up.
TOGETHER: The biiiig bucks.
Seriously?
SHATNER: Yes, that was serious. We were very serious about that.
NIMOY: Yeah. But seriously, folks.
They aren't the only ones whose affections are waning.
The 40th anniversary finds the venerable sci-fi franchise at a crossroads. "Enterprise" was canceled after only four seasons and the last "Trek" film, "Nemesis," was a critical and box office disappointment.
There also have been suggestions that Paramount, "Trek's" studio, is milking the franchise dry. Even "Trek" producer Rick Berman acknowledged "franchise fatigue" before the demise of "Enterprise."
Some "Trek" critics have even said the unsayable: It's time for "Star Trek" to declare victory and leave the field of battle, while it still has some dignity left and before the brand name is further tarnished. Shatner and Nimoy, in their Mutt-and-Jeff way, don't buy it.
SHATNER: So you want Paramount to say we've made enough money?
NIMOY: Let's stop making money. Yeah.
SHATNER: Yeah, yeah.
NIMOY: The stockholders won't mind.
SHATNER: No, and we've --
NIMOY: We should stop making money.
SHATNER: Folks, we've made enough money, we're walking away --
NIMOY: We're going to take a break --
SHATNER: Yes. It's been a wonderful ride --
NIMOY: We're going on vacation --
SHATNER: And no more money.
NIMOY: Right. Off to an island someplace and just ...
SHATNER: We'll just handle the books in a different way and make it look like we made something.
NIMOY: Watch the sunset and forget about money...
SHATNER: Yes.
NIMOY: And your investment? Oh, don't worry about it, you know.
SHATNER: It's going to be OK.
NIMOY: We'll get around to that someday.
SHATNER: You'll have some other shows.
NIMOY: Yeah, we don't want to make any more money. No.
Not that Paramount is listening to the critics. Plans are under way for another "Trek" film in 2008, with J.J. Abrams, fresh off his success with "Alias," "Lost" and "Mission: Impossible 3" slated to take over the reins. Word is the film will be about a young Kirk and Spock. Abrams gets the endorsement of the guys:
NIMOY: He's a talented person. He's talented.
SHATNER: He's going to call Leonard. He talked about calling Leonard for advice.
NIMOY: He's talented. We'll help him in any way we can.
SHATNER: As long as they meet Leonard's price.
Then there are the original episodes, the 79 shows fans got to know by heart through their endless airings in syndication. As part of the 40th anniversary celebration, TVLand will begin showing them in their original broadcast order in November. The show is also returning to broadcast syndication for the first time in 16 years. The episodes will begin airing on the more than 200 stations that own the rights starting September 16.
Perhaps the best news for fans -- though some purists may be upset -- is that the original episodes have been remastered in high definition and will include new special effects shots.
Not bad for a show that appeared to be dead on June 3, 1969, leaving Nimoy to join "Mission: Impossible," Shatner to take guest roles and "Saturday Night Live" to produce a great sketch about the show's demise.
So why are we still talking about it?
Shatner has an answer that's he's probably been giving for 40 years. No matter how rote it sounds it's still undeniably true:
SHATNER: It's the characters, it's the uniqueness. [It's] Mr. Spock. It is the relationship between Spock and Kirk. It is the relationship that the three of us had, the compadres, the family. The levels of meaning of the show. The uniqueness of the science fiction at that time. It was all that and many other things, but the curious thing is, nobody really knows. So anything you say is as valid as anything we could say. 'Cause if we knew what it was --
NIMOY: We'd do it again.
SHATNER: And again. And to keep trying. And I haven't got it yet.

William Shatner Announces Contest to Find the Next Sci-Fi Star
Manhattan, New York—August 4, 2006 — William Shatner knows how hard it is to become a bona-fide science fiction star. That's why he's making it a little bit easier for the next generation of would-be Captain Kirks. William Shatner announced today that he is holding an on-line
contest to find the most talented sci-fi personality in the United States. To enter, contestants just have to create a short video clip that shows why they are the heir apparent to William Shatner, and upload it at http://Shatner.blip.tv by September 30th.
Like many reality TV shows, this contest will rely on the voting public to help choose the winner. Anyone who wants to can view the contestants' video clips and vote for their favorites online at
http://Shatner.blip.tv. The top ten highest ranked entrants will be named finalists, and given a chance to win William Shatner's Sci-Fi Challenge.
Unlike hit TV shows American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance, which focus on contestants that have one particular kind of talent, William Shatner encourages a much broader range of applicants. Aspiring actors can submit a tape of themselves re-enacting a
memorable sci-fi role or performing something new. Young directors and film makers can create a sci-fi short or a brief homage to Bill's career that demonstrates why they should win. Budding film critics can showcase their insight in a taped movie review. This diverse group of contestants makes for a richer talent pool, and a more interesting competition.
Some early submissions show the range of entries that contestants can make. A brief scan of the site revealed a sci-fi short featuring a light-saber battle between Darth Vader and William Shatner (mrpink468.shatner.blip.tv), a handsome but somewhat deranged fan who runs the Bill Shatner TV Station (BillTv.shatner.blip.tv), and an intergalactic celebrity roast (BjornBorg.shatner.blip.tv). While these videos may not all become finalists, each of them is certainly fun and sure to entertain.
In addition to those finalists voted in by the audience, Shatner has selected seven celebrity judges who will each be allowed to select an additional finalist (for 17 finalists in total). The celebrity judges are a diverse group of science fiction luminaries, and include representatives from StarTrek.com, the Sci-Fi Channel, and Chase Masterson from the cast of Star Trek: Deep Space 9. Also represented on the celebrity judge panel are Ain't It Cool News, Planet Magazine,
the Slice of Sci-Fi Podcast, and VideoDetective.com. William Shatner will select the winner from the 17 finalists.
The grand prize winner will receive a large cash award and will be named the Official Spokesperson for the William Shatner Science Fiction DVD Club. William Shatner started his Science Fiction DVD-of-the-Month Club earlier this year, and the club now boasts
nearly 5,000 subscribers. The club identifies great but unheralded science fiction films, and offers them to customers for just $4 each (Shatner DVD Club).
The William Shatner DVD Club, which sponsors this event, chose blip.tv to build the online channel where contestants can upload their video and where the public can view all of the entries. Blip.tv is an Internet media company that hosts and distributes Web-based TV shows
and videoblogs. Show producers can opt-in to advertising, and blip.tv splits all advertising revenues with them. Blip.tv also gives users the tools to distribute videos to blogs, iTunes, video aggregators, del.icio.us, Flickr and more.
William Shatner's Sci-Fi Challenge promises to be entertaining and engaging for both entrants and audience members. Although you need to submit a video to be eligible for the grand prize, anyone who votes on-line for their favorite submission can win a free Video iPod. William Shatner summarized his vision by saying, "This is an opportunity for new faces and new voices in the science fiction world to be seen and heard. Plus, this is a chance for passionate fans to
be the first to discover the next M. Night Shyamalan or Brandon Routh, and help propel them into stardom." The contest is runs from now until September 30th. To submit a video, learn more about the contest, or view submissions, visit http://Shatner.blip.tv (there is
no .com).

MOVIEMAKING GOES VIRTUAL AS SOCIAL NETWORK MEETS HOLLYWOOD
Social Network / Cyberstudio LiveMansion.com To Produce Upcoming Feature Film
NEW YORK, NY -- Ckrush, Inc., announced the launch today of a new website designed to take social networking to a whole new level, fusing the strength of internet peer-to-peer networks with the power of being a studio mogul. LiveMansion.com – a participatory creative community in which the members call the shots – will function as a producer on Ckrush's next feature film, LIVE MANSION: THE MOVIE, a thriller set in the underground world of mega-mansion, rave-style parties. Members of the social network will cast the film, choose the director and play a major decision-making role throughout the entire production process. The effort marks the first time most of the major production decisions on a film have been made through an online social network.
"Social networking has become a powerful collective force in today's world," said Jeremy Dallow, President of Ckrush. "LiveMansion.com takes this phenomenon in a new direction, harnessing the participatory nature of the web in a whole new way. Ckrush is committed to making highly entertaining feature films and we feel that the LiveMansion community will be a great producing partner and source for creative talent."
LiveMansion.com members will participate in the making of LIVE MANSION: THE MOVIE in up to three different ways. They can enter an open casting call, audition to become the director and/or call the shots as a producer. Producers vote during the talent search and then subsequently as key decisions are made throughout the rest of the production process. Each member will earn "producer points" as they take part in the making of the film. Those who participate the most will be brought to the set and will earn equity in the film among other benefits.
The search for a director will begin with online submissions, with candidates being asked to tell a story using three pictures and no narrative, and to submit a questionnaire. LiveMansion.com members will rank submissions, with the top choices moving on to the second round. The next step will require candidates to submit up to a three minute video, which will also be ranked. For round three, those still standing will be provided three scenes from the film, one of which they must shoot and submit the video. Community members will then cast a simple vote whether to give them the job or not. The top vote getters will move on to the final round.
The five top candidates for director will be given a budget to create a five-minute short film based on scenes from LIVE MANSION: THE MOVIE. The final candidates will then be brought to New York where they will present their work to industry professionals. Live Mansion Members will then vote online to select the director based on the strength of their short.
The open casting process will also be broken into rounds, starting with photo and questionnaire submissions that will be ranked by members. Top ranking entries will move to a sorting round in which LiveMansion.com will unveil eight character descriptions and candidates will choose which roles they feel fit them best. Members will rate the candidates for each role, with the highest rated actor candidates going to the next round. Round 3 will require candidates to submit a short video of themselves performing scenes from the movie. The top vote getters for each role will be brought to New York and will participate in a live online casting showcase, before members make their final choices.
About Ckrush, Inc.
Ckrush, Inc. is a cutting edge entertainment and digital media group capitalizing on the global convergence of the traditional entertainment industry and the "participatory pop culture" revolution of online communities and digital technology.

LIONSGATE PARTNERS WITH HABBO FOR EXCLUSIVE ONLINE PREMIERE OF HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED MARVEL ANIMATED FEATURE ULTIMATE AVENGERS 2
First 10 Minutes Of Feature To Be Premiered On Popular Habbo.com Website On July 26th; DVD Available In Stores On August 8th
SANTA MONICA, CA/LOS ANGELES, CA (July 25, 2006) - This July, through a partnership with HABBO, one of the world's largest and hottest on-line destinations for teenagers, Lionsgate, the leading independent filmed entertainment studio, will premiere the first 10 minutes of its highly-anticipated MarvelT animated feature, Ultimate Avengers 2, on the popular website, Habbo.com. This event marks the first time the online community will be able to view 10 full minutes of a never-before-seen film prior to its release. A virtual red-carpet premiere event will be held at the Habbo Theaterdome on July 26th at 4:00pm PST, where a host of "special guests" will be in attendance, including the human personas of Captain AmericaT (Steve Rogers), Iron ManT (Tony Stark), The HulkT (Bruce Banner) and Black PantherT (T'Challa). This will be a "black tie" affair - and all Habbos in attendance will be required to dress in black.
During the premiere event, registered users of the site, called "Habbos" will be able to attend by logging in to the virtual community and entering the Habbo Theaterdome to view the film footage and also respond within the community immediately - even while the footage is still playing. After the premiere showing is completed, Habbos will be treated to an interactive Q&A session with the Marvel Heroes from the movie who attended the premiere. Once the premiere event concludes, all other Habbos will be able to view the footage on Habbo.com for two weeks leading up to the August 8th DVD release of Ultimate Avengers 2.
"This partnership with Habbo on Ultimate Avengers 2 opens up exciting, new ways to reach a big audience and do it in a breakthrough way that strengthens the involvement of the consumer" said Michael Rathauser, Vice President of Marketing, Lionsgate. "The Habbo world provides a unique opportunity to not only stream our content for viewing online, but to do it in a community environment that encourages instant reaction to the footage and which generates the potential for significant word-of-mouth. With Habbo's enthusiastic, highly involved user base, the buzz about the movie will just continue to build leading up to the DVD release."
"By partnering with Lionsgate, we are making it possible for our users, aka 'Habbos,' and Marvel fans to interact with one another and extend their Avengers experience through an online event like no other. The Habbo teen community undoubtedly already feels a strong connection to the Avengers characters, such as the HULK, Captain America, Thor, and Iron man, but at the same time, Habbo provides a great forum to attract a new audience as well. This will be the first real time interaction and feedback session of its kind in an online environment, instantly giving the users a sense of ownership," said Janne Kouri, Regional Director, North America.
Ultimate Avengers 2 is the second film in a multi-picture deal between Lionsgate and Marvel Studios and is the sequel to Ultimate Avengers: The Movie. Available on DVD on August 8th for the suggested retail price of $19.98, the film is set in Wakanda, deep in the heart of Africa, and features non-stop animated action that stays true to its comic book roots. Additionally, it boasts highly-entertaining bonus features including a gag reel, a featurette, DVD-ROM game and more.

SANTA MONICA, CA/LOS ANGELES, CA (July 25, 2006) - This July, through a partnership with HABBO, one of the world's largest and hottest on-line destinations for teenagers, Lionsgate, the leading independent filmed entertainment studio, will premiere the first 10 minutes of its highly-anticipated MarvelT animated feature, Ultimate Avengers 2, on the popular website, Habbo.com. This event marks the first time the online community will be able to view 10 full minutes of a never-before-seen film prior to its release. A virtual red-carpet premiere event will be held at the Habbo Theaterdome on July 26th at 4:00pm PST, where a host of "special guests" will be in attendance, including the human personas of Captain AmericaT (Steve Rogers), Iron ManT (Tony Stark), The HulkT (Bruce Banner) and Black PantherT (T'Challa). This will be a "black tie" affair - and all Habbos in attendance will be required to dress in black.
During the premiere event, registered users of the site, called "Habbos" will be able to attend by logging in to the virtual community and entering the Habbo Theaterdome to view the film footage and also respond within the community immediately - even while the footage is still playing. After the premiere showing is completed, Habbos will be treated to an interactive Q&A session with the Marvel Heroes from the movie who attended the premiere. Once the premiere event concludes, all other Habbos will be able to view the footage on Habbo.com for two weeks leading up to the August 8th DVD release of Ultimate Avengers 2.
"This partnership with Habbo on Ultimate Avengers 2 opens up exciting, new ways to reach a big audience and do it in a breakthrough way that strengthens the involvement of the consumer" said Michael Rathauser, Vice President of Marketing, Lionsgate. "The Habbo world provides a unique opportunity to not only stream our content for viewing online, but to do it in a community environment that encourages instant reaction to the footage and which generates the potential for significant word-of-mouth. With Habbo's enthusiastic, highly involved user base, the buzz about the movie will just continue to build leading up to the DVD release."
"By partnering with Lionsgate, we are making it possible for our users, aka 'Habbos,' and Marvel fans to interact with one another and extend their Avengers experience through an online event like no other. The Habbo teen community undoubtedly already feels a strong connection to the Avengers characters, such as the HULK, Captain America, Thor, and Iron man, but at the same time, Habbo provides a great forum to attract a new audience as well. This will be the first real time interaction and feedback session of its kind in an online environment, instantly giving the users a sense of ownership," said Janne Kouri, Regional Director, North America.
Ultimate Avengers 2 is the second film in a multi-picture deal between Lionsgate and Marvel Studios and is the sequel to Ultimate Avengers: The Movie. Available on DVD on August 8th for the suggested retail price of $19.98, the film is set in Wakanda, deep in the heart of Africa, and features non-stop animated action that stays true to its comic book roots. Additionally, it boasts highly-entertaining bonus features including a gag reel, a featurette, DVD-ROM game and more.

RAY HARRYHAUSEN UNITES WITH BLUEWATER PRODUCTIONS FOR NEW ADVENTURE
Filmmaker Ray Harryhausen has joined forces with BlueWater Productions on a series of new comic book ventures and merchandising under the "Ray Harryhausen Presents" banner. Harryhausen is now part of the BlueWater team developing projects that tap his extensive creative talents.BlueWater will produce six titles with Harryhausen, advancing the adventures of the characters the filmmaker brought to life in his classic sci-fi and fantasy franchises. Slated for release later this year are "Wrath of the Titans," "Sinbad's Voyage to Mars" and "20 Million Miles From Earth."Plans for feature films and a television series are being developed by Left Field Film Corp.
Harryhausen will be at the San Diego Comic-Con July 21 and 22 with the BlueWater team, where he'll sign posters from the upcoming series. Details will be available on the BlueWater website, www.bluewaterprod.com.The collaborative projects will provide springboards for the next generation of characters based on Harryhausen's films. Harryhausen also plans on crafting a story line featuring BlueWater's signature character, the 10th Muse. "X-Men" author Scott Lobdell will write the updated "10th Muse" series based on Harryhausen's take.
Each comic will feature five pages of original artwork from Harryhausen's collection, thanks to a partnership with Every Picture Tells a Story, the Santa Monica-based gallery that sells the artist's works. Harryhausen's artwork also will grace the covers.
"As an artist, I've always enjoyed exploring new and interesting areas," Harryhausen says. "Although many of my feature films, beginning with 'The 7th Voyage of Sinbad,' were adapted into the comic book format, I have never been directly involved with that particular art form -- until now. I am very happy to be working with BlueWater Productions, who have already done wonderful work with their '10th Muse' and 'Isis' comic books, and look forward to seeing characters from my films in new and exciting adventures."
BlueWater President Darren Davis says he's humbled to have Harryhausen aboard. "Ray Harryhausen is one of the reasons I create comics. 'Clash of the Titans' made a priceless impression on my career. I'm honored to work with Ray. He inspired and motivated me to take 'Legends' into different media."
BlueWater Art Director Nadir Balan is equally excited to work with Harryhausen. "Ray Harryhausen's films have a timeless appeal that extends beyond special effects and monsters. My goal is to capture the essence and charm of his films and adapt them to action-packed comics so both new readers and existing fans can catch up on the ongoing adventures. I'm thrilled to be part of the team dreaming up new futures for these great characters."
More projects showcasing the Harryhausen-BlueWater partnership are in the works and will be announced soon.

The Dresden Files Pilot for SCIFI
Actor Set to Star in and David Carson to Direct The Dresden Files Pilot from Lions Gate Television
NEW YORK (Nov. 9, 2005) — SCI FI Channel has cast Paul Blackthorne (24, Presidio Med) to star as Chicago-based wizard and detective Harry Dresden in The Dresden Files. Director David Carson (Star Trek Generations) has been tapped to helm the project. Production on the two-hour backdoor pilot film is set to commence in Toronto later this month, with plans for a Summer 2006 premiere.
The Dresden Files is being produced by Lions Gate Television, in association with Nicolas Cage's Saturn Films (The Life of David Gale, Shadow of the Vampire). Hans Beimler (The District , Profiler) and Robert Hewitt Wolfe (The 4400, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) will serve as executive producers alongside Cage; his Saturn Films partner, Norm Golightly; and Morgan Gendel (Law & Order , V.I.P.).
According to Cage, "Norm and I feel that Paul's passion for the part and talent will translate into a charismatic performance."
Best known for his acclaimed performance as the villainous Stephen Saunders on 24, Paul Blackthorne also starred in Presidio Med and in the feature film Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India. He has guest-starred on Medium and ER and has a recurring role on Deadwood . Blackthorne is represented by Seven Summits Pictures and Management and SDB Partners.
David Carson has directed numerous sci-fi hits, including the infamous Star Trek Generations feature film, in which Captain Kirk dies. His other credits include the pilots for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Strange Luck, Sons & Daughters, Celebrity and Odyssey 5 — all of which were successfully sold to series.
Based on the best-selling series of novels by Jim Butcher, The Dresden Files pilot, written by Beimler and Wolfe, tells the story of Harry Dresden, a Chicago-based private detective with extraordinary abilities. Where others see typical crimes of assault, kidnapping and murder, Harry sees otherworldly forces at work. He's a wizard, the real thing, the only wizard listed in the Chicago yellow pages. Whether consulting for the police on inexplicable crimes or following his own cases, Dresden does battle with the forces of darkness, always maintaining a wry sense of humor and a unique perspective on our world.
Lions Gate Television is the television production and distribution arm of Lions Gate Entertainment (NYSE: LGF). With a total of four primetime series currently on the air, the company is an important supplier of content to cable and broadcast networks. Lions Gate Entertainment is the premier independent producer and distributor of motion pictures, television programming, home entertainment, family entertainment and video-on-demand content. Its prestigious and prolific library is a valuable source of stable and recurring revenue and serves as a foundation for the continued growth of the company's core businesses.

GOJIRA (the "original" GODZILLA) Available on DVD For the First Time Ever!
CLASSIC MEDIA BRINGS THE JAPANESE MONSTER OF MASS DESTRUCTION TO DVD WITH THE RELEASE OF THE ORIGINAL GOJIRA (aka GODZILLA)
The Complete, Uncut, Japanese Original Available on DVD For the First Time Ever On September 5, 2006
The Release is Part of a Monster DVD 2-Pack, Which Includes Both Gojira And the US Version, Godzilla: King of the Monsters
NEW YORK, NY (March 10, 2006) - Move over King Kong! Godzilla is back! On September 5, Classic Media will release the complete, uncut, Japanese original, Gojira (Godzilla), on DVD for the first time ever in the US. From legendary Japanese filmmaker Ishiro Honda, Gojira quickly became a monster classic. Gojira will only be available as part of a special DVD 2-pack that also includes the re-edited US version, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, starring Raymond Burr. Both versions have been digitally remastered in HD widescreen. The Gojira/Godzilla: King of the Monsters DVD 2-pack stomps onto retail shelves late summer for $21.98 SRP.
Robert Mayo, SVP of Home Video at Classic Media, said, "It's really exciting to be able to finally bring this classic film to DVD for the American audience. Fans have been looking forward to the release of Gojira for several years."
For more information and updates closer to release date, fans can log onto www.godzillaondvd.com.
A Monster Metaphor
Ishiro Honda's 1954 black-and-white classic spawned a new genre called the "kaiju eiga" or, Japanese monster movie, giving way to countless sequels. With its 50th anniversary theatrical re-release in 2004, audiences rediscovered the strong anti-nuclear message of the original Gojira film.
Gojira contains 40 minutes of footage that was not seen as part of the re-edited, re-dubbed Americanized Godzilla: King of Monsters. In the US version 40 minutes were cut and 20 minutes of new scenes were added, starring Raymond Burr as an American reporter. As a result, the original tone of the movie was changed and the anti-H-Bomb message
dropped.
Gojira (1954)
Run Time: 98 minutes
When several ships mysteriously explode and sink off the coast of Japan, the country begins to panic. Authorities are convinced that the unexplained activity was caused by underwater mines or volcanoes and sends officials to Odo Island to investigate. Days later, something comes ashore and destroys several neighboring houses, killing many locals. Renowned paleontologist, Dr. Kyohei Yemane (Takashi Shimura), is called to lead a new expedition and uncovers the source of the problem - a 400-foot tall mutant dinosaur the natives call Gojira. The Doctor insists that the monster, which was awakened from a million-year sleep by nuclear bomb tests in the South Pacific, be studied not destroyed. Gojira soon begins a rampage that threatens to destroy Japan. Can the powerful monster be eliminated before it is too late?
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (1956)
Run Time: 78 minutes
When American reporter Steve Martin, played by Raymond Burr, investigates a series of mysterious disasters off the coast of Japan, he comes face to face with an ancient creature so powerful and terrifying, it can reduce Tokyo to a smoldering graveyard. Nuclear weapon testing resurrected this relic from the Jurassic age, and now this behemoth is stomping and smashing his way through the city. Conventional weapons are useless against him; but scientist Dr. Serizawa has discovered a weapon that could destroy all life in the bay - including Godzilla! But, which disaster is worse, Godzilla's fury, or the death of Tokyo Bay?

Narnia Prince Caspian Preproduction Begins
Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media, in collaboration with Academy Award(R)-nominated director Andrew Adamson, have begun pre-production on "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian," the next big screen installment of the "Narnia" Chronicles, and the follow-up to the international blockbuster, "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe," it was announced today (2/2). The latter film, based on the works of C. S. Lewis, has attracted legions of moviegoers all over the world and has grossed in excess of $637.8 million to date at the worldwide box office. It also received three Academy Award(R) nominations earlier this week. Internationally, "Narnia" already ranks as Buena Vista's top grossing live-action release of all-time (surpassing both "Armageddon" and "Pirates of the Caribbean") with its gross to date of $359.4 million." Domestically, the film's gross currently stands at $278 million and has already established itself as the Studio's third highest-grossing live-action film of all-time. The film is on track to become Buena Vista's all-time live-action champ, surpassing "Pirates of the Caribbean's" worldwide gross of $655 million.
"The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian," will reunite most of the principal cast and creative team responsible for "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe." Andrew Adamson ("Shrek," "Shrek 2") will reprise his role as director, in addition to serving as a producer, and co-writer (in collaboration with Christopher Markus and Steve McFeeley). Production is set to begin later this year for a Christmas 2007 release. "Prince Caspian" finds the Pevensie siblings pulled back into the land of Narnia, where a thousand years have passed since they left. The children are once again enlisted to join the colorful creatures of Narnia in combating an evil villain who prevents the rightful Prince from ruling the land. "Prince Caspian" was first published in 1951, and is the second book in the seven-book series written by Lewis. It was intended as a continuation of "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe." Lewis' "The Chronicles of Narnia" have sold over 100 million copies worldwide, and continues to be one of the best loved and most popular series of all time.
Commenting on the announcement, Dick Cook, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, said, "We're thrilled to be working with such a great director as Andrew, and our friends at Walden Media, in bringing the next chapter of the 'Narnia' chronicles to the big screen. Moviegoers around the world were unanimous in their love and enthusiasm for 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe,' and 'Prince Caspian' offers lots of new thrills and adventures in this magical land. The C. S. Lewis books are a rich source of inspiration for great storytelling, and this book spotlights some wonderful new heroes, and villains, along with many of the characters we came to love so much in the first film."
Cary Granat, co-founder and CEO of Walden Media, added, "Andrew Adamson, who possesses an unparalleled passion and vision for the 'Narnia' books, brought C. S. Lewis' world to life in an imaginative and exciting way. With 'Prince Caspian,' moviegoers will have an opportunity to revisit the magic of Narnia, encountering exciting new creatures and lands within Narnia alongside their favorite characters from these beloved books. Dick Cook and Disney have been amazing partners on this project and we look forward to working with them on this and other future installments in the 'Narnia' franchise."
Adamson said, "Making 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' couldn't have been a more rewarding experience, not just in terms of creative achievement and audience response, but also because of the family we formed during production. 'Prince Caspian' not only gives me an opportunity to challenge my imagination with another classic story, it also allows me to work alongside the many talented artists who contributed to the first film, and of course to collaborate again with 'The Pevensies,' Georgie, Skandar, Anna, and William."
"The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian," will reunite most of the principal cast and creative team responsible for "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe."

With 'Prince Caspian,' moviegoers will have an opportunity to revisit the magic of Narnia, encountering exciting new creatures and lands within Narnia alongside their favorite characters from these beloved books. Dick Cook and Disney have been amazing partners on this project and we look forward to working with them on this and other future installments in the 'Narnia' franchise."
Adamson said, "Making 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' couldn't have been a more rewarding experience, not just in terms of creative achievement and audience response, but also because of the family we formed during production. 'Prince Caspian' not only gives me an opportunity to challenge my imagination with another classic story, it also allows me to work alongside the many talented artists who contributed to the first film, and of course to collaborate again with 'The Pevensies,' Georgie, Skandar, Anna, and William."

Ultimate Avengers
The DVD for the first Marvel animated film [straight to DVD] comes out next week [Feb 26th] and it is called The Ultimate Avengers. Obviously it is a story about the Avengers. Who are the Avengers? They are a group of super heroes lead by Captain American. The members are mostly loans who now must work together to save the world. Besides Captain American the Avengers are comprised of The Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Wasp and Giant Man.
Since this is a first for the Avenger films we get loaded down with lots of back story, especially Captain America [but then again he is the main guy in the series]. I had a chance to see this film last week [lucky me got it before street date]. And it really is not a bad film, liked the animation, it reminded me of the good old days of cartoons on TV --- Spider-man and the X-men shows. Looking forward to having the chance to see more Marvel animated films in the future. So everyone head out and pick this up next week when it comes out and show your support....the further away from character introductions we get the better the stories will be.
When you do get it check out the special features, the interviews with the different writers and artists is well worth watching and it will fill you in on the history of the Avengers, if, like me, you know very little about them.
For more information on the film or for a chance to win a copy head on over to www.scifislacker.com

"Trek" Super Bowl XL Commercial
Anyone see the Aleve commercial during the first half of the super bowl?
Nimoy is walking through a backstage area complaining on the phone to his agent that he cannot go on because it hurts too much, he just cannot do it. The whole time he is talking he is gestering with his right hand and people are waving back at him. He then enters his dressing room [and I guess takes Aleve....I did not see that point]. Then walks out on stage and the crowd is in anticipation the camera zooms in on couple dressed in starfleet get up Vulcan ears and all and back to Nimoy....who after taking aleve can now turn his waving hand into the classic Vulcan salute. Crowd [and myself] go crazy.
This gets my vote for the best super bowl commercial in this game! The Burger King ad was good too...if only they would leave that hideous king out of it. Next was the B.C. Fedex commercial. The Macgyver master card one was pretty good too as was the Budweiser streaker :)
http://news.com.com/2100-1024_3-6033515.html
For those who did not watch the game but want to see the commercials CNN says NFL will re-air them with several veiwing options.
Even better here is a direct link to the TV spot from Aleve.
