Superman In Four Panels!!
Alien Prequel Is Now Going to be called “Prometheus”
The Hollywood Reporter and every movie blog on the web is reporting that Ridley Scott’s Alien prequel has evolved into a new Sci Fi franchise titled Prometheus.
The Alien prequel is dead and a new Ridley Scott project has been reborn.
Fox has announced that instead of making a much-talked about Alien movie, the project has been reconfigured as an original sci-fi movie, titled Prometheus, with Scott still at the helm and with Noomi Rapace to star.
Showing how serious it is about the movie, Fox has set a March 9, 2012 release date.
Damon Lindelof is working together with Scott on the new script, which was originally written by Jon Spaihts and based on an idea by Scott. It was under Lindelof that the project morphed into something more original.
āWhile Alien was indeed the jumping off point for this project, out of the creative process evolved a new, grand mythology and universe in which this original story takes place,ā said Scott in a statement. āThe keen fan will recognize strands of Alien’s DNA, so to speak, but the ideas tackled in this film are unique, large and provocative. I couldn’t be more pleased to have found the singular tale I’d been searching for, and finally return to this genre that’s so close to my heart.ā
“In a world flooded with prequels, sequels and reboots,ā stated Lindelof. āI was incredibly struck by just how original Ridley’s vision was for this movie. It’s daring, visceral and hopefully, the last thing anyone expects.ā
Fox and Scott have been working on an Alien prequel for the last two years and began reading and testing actors for the project late last summer. Rapace, best known for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, was on the list of actors that also included Gemma Arteron, Charlize Theron, Michelle Yeoh, Michael Fassbender and James Franco, all of whom swirled around it in various forms. Time will tell which ones will stick with it, although both Fassbender and Theron were being seriously considered for Universalās Snow White project.
Prometheus is actually a bold move for Fox as it means leaving behind a project that has a strong brand and legacy behind it. Youāve got to wonder what kind of conversations Scott had with the studio to persuade them to go with it.
Walking Dead Fans, The Show is Returning to Life in July… Maybe
Good news Walking Dead Fans, actor Bryan Cranston leaked the news that The Walking Dead may be returning in July rather than the predicted October start in an interview with NYMag.com.
Q: When it was first announced that Breaking Bad’s premiere was being pushed back to July, immediate speculation was that AMC was trying to help Mad Men’s Jon Hamm get an Emmy by taking you out of the race. Do you think that factored into the decision at all?
A: Not at all. It was a decision from AMC that they wanted to position us in July, along with Mad Men. And I believe they’re going to put Walking Dead in July as well. I think it’s just a sensible thing ā they want to attract as many eyeballs as possible, away from the heavy competition of the September, November, January start.

Trailer: Sci-Fi TV and Steven Spielberg-Produced Series Falling Skies
It’s got Mechs, so you know it’s going to be good.
FALLING SKIES opens in the chaotic aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of the world completely incapacitated. In the six months since the initial invasion, the few survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers work to protect the people in their care while also engaging in an insurgency campaign against the occupying alien force.
At the center of the series is Tom Mason (Noah Wyle), a Boston history professor whose family has been torn apart. His wife was killed in the initial attack, and one of his three sons has been captured. Determined to get his son back and to ensure the safety of his other two sons, Tom must put his extensive knowledge of military history to the test as one of the leaders of the resistance movement known as the 2nd Mass, because of their location in Boston, Mass. They are constantly trying to gain intelligence about the aliens in order to one day outsmart and overtake them and hopefully rebuild their lives.
Moon Bloodgood (Terminator Salvation) co-stars as Anne Glass, a pediatrician who works with the surviving children to help them cope with the traumatic upheaval in their lives. Will Patton (Armageddon, TNTās Into the West) plays a fierce leader of the resistance, Weaver. The series also stars Drew Roy (Secretariat) as Hal, Tomās oldest son and a growing fighter in the resistance movement; Maxim Knight (Brothers & Sisters) as Matt, Tomās youngest son; Connor Jessup (The Saddle Club) as Ben, Tomās son who was captured by aliens; and Seychelle Gabriel (Weeds) as Lourdes, an orphaned teenager who helps Anne in the groupās makeshift medical clinic. Colin Cunningham (Living in Your Car) is John Pope, the leader of an outlaw motorcycle gang and Sarah Carter (Shark) is Margaret, a wary survivor of Popeās gang.
FALLING SKIES focuses on the resilience of the survivors and their determination to maintain their humanity when all else has been destroyed. It is a tale of endurance, commitment and courage in which everyday people are called upon to become heroes. They may be outmatched, outnumbered and outgunned, but nothing can beat the human spirit. Most of all, the series is about the ties that bind people together in the most difficult of circumstances.
The aliens in the series are mighty, mysterious and merciless. They are highly intelligent and use military-like tactics, which makes them an overwhelming force against the 2nd Mass. There are two types of aliens that the human survivors have named Skitters and Mechs. Combining live action and special visual effects, the Skitters have spider-like bodies and incredible strength and agility. The deadly, robotic Mechs stand upright and can shoot bullets from their arms. The aliens control captured children, like Tomās son Ben, through bio-mechanical harnesses but have yet to reveal their ultimate plan for them.
iPhone Alarms Not Working Come New Year’s Day 2011
This is only for non-repeating alarms. If you have a repeating alarm set you shouldn’t have this issue…. I unfortunately set my iPhone alarm this morning while away and when it didn’t work ran to the internet to find this:
PSA: iPhone alarms not working come New Year’s Day 2011*
We’re not exactly sure of the cause of this fancy new issue affecting Apple’s super cool iPhone line of cellphones, but apparently you’ve got trouble come 1/1/2011. According to an explosive stream of frustration-filled tweets on the Twitter microblogging service, when the clock strikes midnight, one off alarms will cease to sing out. The issue sounds eerily similar to recent Daylight Savings Time trouble we witnessed back in November, although we saw both repeating alarm and single alarm failures.
