Sci-Fi Storm

There are two remakes on the horizon. First, the SCI FI Channel is bringing back Flash Gordon to series TV, starring Eric Johnson (Smallville) in the title role. More surprising, and more daring, is a remake of the classic The Day The Earth Stood Still, and is is reported that Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose) will direct for Fox.

Author Kurt Vonnegut, who wrote some famous works such as Slaughterhouse-Five and Cat?s Cradle, passed away yesterday at the age of 84. He had suffered serious brain injuries in a fall a few weeks ago.
