News for September 17, 2008

  • Do you know where your towel is? Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Foul series, has been asked to write the next chapter in the Hitchhikers’s Guide to the Galaxy universe. Adams’s widow Jane Belson said: “”I love his books and could not think of a better person to transport Arthur, Zaphod and Marvin to pastures new. The project has my full support.” And Another Thing… will be published in October next year.
  • MOAR LIPSTICK! Anonymous may have broken into Sarah Palin’s yahoo mail account. The offending posts, screenshots, and unseen family photos, and emails have all been deleted from Imageshack and 4Chan and the account itself has since been deleted, no word on which side did that.
  • Stephanie Jacobsen, who played the druggie officer Kendra Shaw in the Battlestar Galactica TV movie “Razor,” is coming to Sarah Connor as another resistance fighter from the future to hunt down Cylons Terminators…
  • Tardis versus broomstick, Tardis wins. If Doctor Who’s head writer Russell T. Davies had had his way, an episode would have starred Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. Not only that, but Rowling would have dragged David Tennant’s Doctor into the Potter universe. David Tenant vetoed this claiming it would come off as a Spoof. Oh well, even writers can write fan fics.
  • Paris Hilton will be making her horror musical debut in Repo! The Genetic Opera, as surgery-addicted Amber Sweet. Fortunately her character isn’t in the movie a lot, but when she’s there she looks great.
  • Poor Ice Cube, everyone’s favorite overly tribal tattooed action hero Xander Cage is back in yet another XXX film. Sony is in talks to bring back xXx with original director Rob Cohen the title, xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.
  • When Ricky Gervais agreed to star in Ghost Town–an odd hybrid of romance, buddy comedy and ghost story–he had three rule. No accent, no wigs, and he didn’t want to kiss someone,” Gervais portrays a grumpy dentist in New York who can suddenly see and hear ghosts after a near-death experience of his own.
  • I hate the homeless….ness problem. The Whedonopolis fan site will sponsor a Halloween-night screening of Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog and Felicia Day’s Web series The Guild, to benefit charity. The screening will take place in Los Angeles. Proceeds will benefit Path Ventures, an affordable-housing community group.
  • GENTLEMEN BEHOLD! SCI FI Channel has cast its upcoming Children of the Corn remake, with David Anders, Kandyse McClure, Preston Bailey and Daniel Newman coming aboard the two-hour TV movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
  • Former Star Trek cast member George Takei married his longtime boyfriend on Sept. 14 in a Los Angeles ceremony that paid homage to the actor’s Japanese heritage, the Reuters news service reported.
  • Kevin Smith’s QuickStop Entertainment site posted a teaser trailer for director Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus–otherwise known as the last movie actor Heath Ledger was working on at the time of his death in January.
  • Goody Goody Two Shoes! Evil Dead: The Musical in 3-D may begin shooting as soon as next spring, hopefully with the cast that has performed more than 300 times in Toronto. The bloody comedy has songs such as “What the F–k Was That?”, “I’m Not a Killer” and “Look Who’s Evil Now.”
