Sci-Fi Storm

A new animated holiday special, Shrek The Halls, is being developed by ABC for airing this December, and expected to become a perennial special. Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, and Antonio Banderas are all named as appearing as their characters. Shrek 2 will air on ABC at 8pm ET on November 24th.

Katee Sackhoff, whom you should all recognize by now as Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica, has joined Nathan Fillion (Firefly) on the production of White Noise 2, but won’t be playing a rough-and-tumble tomboy – she’ll be the damsel in distress, and that’s the role she wanted. We reviewed White Noise last year. I’m not sure how much of a sequel this is, but the cast is getting interesting. Off topic – the sidebar poll on SCI FI Wire on who should play Kirk in the next Trek movie has Ben Browder with a 20-point lead, although he is perhaps too old.
