It looks like John Cusack is going to be Edgar Allen Poe in a movie adaptation of THE RAVEN. Of course it can't be that faithful of an adaptation, because the raven is way too short a poem and takes place in a single room from beginning to end. Though this movie DOES sound pretty good. "The story is set in the last five days of Poe's life in which he is forced to partner with a detective in search of a serial killer who has kidnapped Poe's fiancé and has gone on a spree of murders that mimics the author's work." I'm on board with this. I love John Cusack. I love Edgar Allen Poe. And the premise of this movie is intriguing. I'm excited to see how they…

Back when I was in on the Beta of STAR TREK ONLINE, one of the most enjoyable aspects of the game was that you got your own ship and got to participate in space missions. The combat took strategy as well, because you had to monitor your deflector shields and keep repositioning your ship to mitigate the damage and allow your shields to recharge. My only complaint is that flying was kind of cumbersome. But that's the STAR TREK way. In STAR TREK it's more about being a space navy where you pull up next to a ship and pommel the hell out of it than it is about daring aerial maneuvers and dog fighting. Well a video of the new space combat in STAR WARS: THE OLD REPUBLIC has hit the…

It may only be less than a month before the forth installment of Resident Evil: Afterlife hits theaters, but if you're looking forward to seeing Milla Jovovich kick some zombie ass then it may seem like a lifetime.  Luckily, a new international trailer has been released that shows never-before-seen footage.  You can check it out below and let us know in the comments or forums what you think about it. From Movieweb: Alice (Milla Jovovich) continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety. Her deadly battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights, but Alice gets some unexpected help from an old friend. A new lead that promises a safe haven from the Undead takes them to Los Angeles, but when they arrive the city is…

If you haven't yet heard of the new series Syfy has picked up, Alphas, then consider this your chance.  This is a series that has been laying around for a few years, and comes from screenwriter Zak Penn (X-men 3) and Michael Karnow.  ABC snatched the series up back in 2007, but after the writers strike and the new genre fears most of the major networks seem to be having, it got thrown on the shelf.  That is until Syfy pulled it out and renamed the show Alphas. What is it?  I'd love to describe it as everything Heroes should have been, and nothing Heroes became, but the truth is the verdict is still out on this show.  Back in 2007, when the show was still dubbed Section 8, The…

FlashForward may have met its demise rather early for such a hyped up event, but the main star, Joseph Fiennes appears to be ready to jump back into television again.  Soon, Fiennes will star in the upcoming Starz series, Camelot.  Fiennes spoke via satelite from the Dublin set for the Television Critics Association on August 7, joking about his most recently cancelled series. "I felt like I went through a series of blackouts for 2 minutes and 17 seconds, woke up and the whole landscape had changed again.  Here I was in a Celtic countryside. Who knows? It's a topsy-turvy world, isn't it? It's exciting, exhilarating, I'm passionate and loved my time with FlashForward and all the wonderful people I met with and worked with there. It was hugely ambitious,…

This December I will have a new BBC obsession. A few days ago I heard that Jamie Bramber of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA was going to star in a new space western series on BBC called OUTCASTS. These images have just been released, and although they don't show us much this description has me curious: "It's the story of a group of individuals who are given the chance to build a new life on another planet, and across eight episodes, we'll be getting a show that looks like Britain taking a stab at a cross between Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek (the inclusion of BSG's Jamie Bamber in the cast helps with the comparison, certainly). When the show starts, this group of pioneers will have lost contract with Earth, and all sorts…

We have a sneak peak of tomorrow night's all new episode of Warehouse 13 from Syfy.  In this episode Pete's mission to find a traitor leads him into conflict with the Warehouse team. The episode is titled "Around the Bend" and airs tomorrow, August 10th, at 9/8C on Syfy.

This news tidbit is far from new, and is just a small piece of the hordes of information that came out of Comic Con this year.  But, since this site didn't technically exist at the time, you'll have to cut us some news-slack, and this is far too cool to not post anything about it. So here goes, at the Quantum Leap panel (titled "A Leap of Faith—A Quantum Leap Retrospective") with Scott Bakula at this year's Comic Con, it was announced that a Quantum Leap movie IS in the works, with original creator Donald P. Bellisario writing it.  However, he quickly informed the excited fans that he was too old to play Sam Beckett. “The good news is that Don is working on the film script and has a…

I Spit On Your Grave is a delightfully charming flick from the late 70s.  It is a story Jennifer Hills who goes down by the lake to write a book and ends up being rape bait for a couple of hillbillies.  Then she manages to escape and comes back to kill them.  And the worst part is that they rip up her manuscript.  Those bastards.  The real moral of the story is that it is being remade.  Stephen R Monroe is directing this remake and as far as I can tell it is the same story. Who doesn't love horrible rape, revenge stories involving hillbillies.  Apparently the stand the test of time.  Plus we get to see a new poster with a girl with a big ol' booty.  Here's the…

That title sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, I know. A while ago I heard that baseball player Curt Schilling,  R.A. Salvatore, Todd McFarlane, and Ken Rolston, the lead designer on Elder Scrolls: Oblivion had all gotten together to make a new RPG. I remember laughing and thinking to myself, "Wow, that's a motley crew." and then giving the project not a single thought afterwards. While trolling the internet I stumbled across these amazing production stills on that forgotten project, Kingdoms of Alamur: Reckoning, and now I'm very, very intrigued. KINGDOMS OF ALAMUR: RECKONING promises an open ended environment with epic narrative and as you can see from these images huge weapons and gnarly monsters courtesy of MacFarlane's dark and twisty little mind. Not a whole lot of…
