Sci-Fi Storm

SCI FI Wire has provided some cast updates for the upcoming The Lost Room, along with a couple more details, including that it is a six-hour miniseries (which I’m sure is open-ended for a series run). It stars Peter Krause (Six Feet Under) as a homicide detective that discovers the key to the room. Also appearing are Julianna Margulies (er), Roger Bart (Desperate Housewives) and Elle Fanning (Charlotte’s Web). New cast announcements are Kevin Pollack (The Santa Clause 3) as a wealthy businessman after the key; Margaret Cho (Face Off), who will sell information on the objects for the right price; Dennis Christopher (Circuitry Man), as the county coroner; and Ewan Bremner (Trainspotting) as a petty thief.

TheOneRing.net is reporting a rumor from an insider that The Hobbit is on the production calendar at New Line Cinema, presumably for the formal start of production. Hopefully we’ll hear more about this soon.
