Sci-Fi Storm

Heroes creator Tim Kring is lobbying NBC to allow for a wrap-up miniseries to the show, which ended with the world knowing about the Heroes. The mini-series would pick up 1 year later, seeing the effects of the revelation.

Also on the resurrection front, Flash Forward fans plan to stage a “flash” blackout of their own – on June 10th, at ABC offices and other locations in major cities, fans plan to stage a blackout in which they with “faint” for 2 minutes and 17 seconds…

The upcoming Starz mini-series Camelot now has some actors associated with it. Joseph Fiennes (Flash Forward) will be Merlin against Eva Green (Casino Royale), who will play Morgana. In addition, Jamie Campbell Bower (Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, New Moon) will play the (young) King Arthur and Tasmin Egerton (St. Trinians) will play Guinevere. No idea if this is going to follow the classic stories or be totally original yet…Egerton is no stranger to the stories, having also appeared in The Mists Of Avalon as a young Morgaine (a.k.a. Morgana, a.k.a. Morgan le Fay).

Surfers, tourists, and local Los Angelenos alike were stunned yesterday morning by a rather HUGE mystery: the discovery of 15 foot long footprints in the sand at Santa Monica Pier!

A local fisherman was perhaps the only person who caught a glimpse of the creature responsible. “Everything started shaking,” he said. “Then I saw this thing. Bigger than any whale…eyes dark and menacing, teeth as big as the poles under the pier here.” Police are cautioning people not to panic, and to be careful not to fall into the deep footprints on the beach. Residents and tourists are wondering what kind of monster could be responsible for footprints so massive.
