Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in BBC, Doctor Who, News, Television.add a comment
Update: BBC has released video of Matt Smith reacting to the news that he’ll be the next Doctor. Watch it below.
The original article follows below.
The 11th Doctor will not be Patterson Joseph, and nor will recently rumored film actor Chiwetel Ejiofor take on the role. Instead, BBC has settled on relative unknown, and now youngest Doctor ever, Matt Smith. The 26-year-old actor will take on the iconic role by the show’s fifth season, which kicks off in 2010 and will likely be in the next Christmas special.
David Tennant, who plays the current Doctor, will still star in the 2009 TV specials.

Fox Will Try To Stop Release of Watchmen December 29, 2008 6:44 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Movies, News, Watchmen.1 comment so far
An attorney for 20th Century Fox tells the AP that the studio will seek an order to delay the release of Warner Bros. Watchmen. U.S. district Court Judge Gary Feess last week came down with a ruling agreeing with Fox that Warner Bros. had infringed its copyright by developing and shooting the film. A trial is scheduled for January 20th to decide any remaining issues.
An attourney for Warner Bros. said that he didn’t know if an appeal was coming, but that he thinks a trial is necessary and a settlement is unlikely.
Watchmen is still scheduled for release on March 6, 2009.

This was HBO’s first colloboration with FunnyOrDie after HBO took an ownership stake in the Internet venture from Will Ferrell and Adam McKay this past June.

First Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Photos December 29, 2008 5:22 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Images, Movies, News, Photos, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.1 comment so far
The first photos from Michael Bay’s Transformers sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen have been released. They come courtesy UK magazine Empire, which has a cover story on the film and USA Today, who also have a separate set-report that you can read here. As always, click to enlarge.
Here are some highlights from the article and photo pages at USA Today:
After completing work in New Mexico, the cast and crew moved to Giza for scenes at the actual pyramids, getting first-time access to the 5,000-year-old site from the Egyptian government. “It plays a big plot point,” Bay says, noting that they were allowed to shoot on the pyramids — not just around them.
In the sequel, humanity is still trying to sort out which Transformers can be trusted and which mean to exterminate humans.
Optimus teams up with the U.S. military to take on the evil Decepticons, who have invaded Earth to capture Sam (Shia LaBeouf). He has learned some secrets about the origins of the Transformes and their ancient history–information, it turns out, that is worth war.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen hits conventional and IMAX theaters on June 26, 2009. Check out more photos after the jump.

Cera Holding Up Arrested Development Film? December 29, 2008 2:31 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Arrested Development, Fox, Movies, News, Television.add a comment
Mitch Hurwitz, creator of the critically beloved but low-rated Fox series Arrested Development, has confirmed that a deal is in place with Fox Searchlight to make a big screen adaptation of the series. However, Hurwitz cautions that casting is still not complete, and hints that the rumor that Michael Cera is the one holding up the process is accurate. From FilmCast:
So what of the rumors that new dad Will Arnett and shiny movie star Michael Cera are the only two remaining holdouts?
“I don’t want to talk about who is holding out right now because we might still work that out and I don’t want to pressure anyone through the press,” said Hurwitz. “Although I will say that Will Arnett is gung-ho, so there’s a big clue!”
Hurwitz added that he won’t get to work on a script until the cast he wants is locked up, but he did talk a bit about the possible story and whether or not the film would start where the show ended:
“I think in some respect it would have to pick up where the show left off,” he said. “Maybe the benefit of that would be, if nothing else, just to recap everything. There are a couple of ways to get into it. I was even thinking about a big animated sequence to start. Kind of like how the Blake Edwards movies used to start – to kind of catch everyone up.”
Hurwitz also noted that he hasn’t ruled out a possible prequel movie. Click here to read the entire interview.

The Dark Knight Will Not Be Released in China December 27, 2008 1:10 am
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Movies, News, The Dark Knight.add a comment
Instead of fighting with Chinese censors, Warner Bros. has opted to forgo a Chinese release of The Dark Knight:
“Based on a number of pre-release conditions that are being attached to ‘The Dark Knight’ as well as cultural sensitivities to some elements of the film, we have opted to forego a theatrical release of the film in China.”
With just a little under a month left before the film’s re-release (January 23, 2009), The Dark Knight’s worldwide cume stands at $996.8 million ($530.8 million domestically and $466 million overseas).
