Sci-Fi Storm

I just got a link to this video…anyone know anything about this? Any chance of an English dub, like the original?

Just a humorous look at what it might be like if the characters from Star Wars conversed with each other on Facebook…

Apple Trailers now has an English trailer for the upcoming Inception available, and aside from the synopsis (“A contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.”), still little is known about the plot…but it seems like some pretty wacky dream sequences are involved. That is, unless we’ve perfected roll-up cities.

In case you weren’t sure why you’ve blocked out all memories of it, or why George Lucas attempted to destroy all copies, here is a short version of the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special…

Peter Jackson recently gave The Hollywood Reporter a one-on-one on-camera interview as part of their Director’s Roundtable. Check out what he says about The Hobbit and how they really are on schedule – if the studio gives the green light.

Barrett writes in to let us know that the French trailer for the upcoming Inception is available, which is all you’ll see until you catch Sherlock Holmes in theaters starting Christmas Day…

Remember that story about Harlan Ellison possibly working with J.J. Abrams on future Trek? Well, apparently Ellison wasn’t too happy about the way it was worded on SCI FI Wire, so he contact them to set the record straight – and threaten the correspondent (tongue-in-cheek, I think…)

SCI Fi Wire has learned that Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix, CSI) has joined the cast of the new Predators movie, which takes the franchise off Earth and onto a “hunting planet” on which several humans awake to find themselves as the hunted. Already in the cast are Adrien Brody (King Kong), Topher Grace (Spider-Man 3), Walton Goggins (The Shield) and Danny Trejo (The Grind, and pretty much every other Robert Rodriguez production, who is producing Predators). Nimród Antal (Vacancy) is directing.

UPDATED: Following up on a previous story, Fox confirmed that Bryan Singer will return to direct a new X-Men movie, entitled X-Men: First Class, which will focus on some of the primary characters in their teenage years Professor Xavier and Magneto and the forming of the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. Jamie Moss (Street Kings) is currently assigned as the writer.

It may not be true at this point, but I can see him in it…Tobey Maguire responded to web reports by saying he is not in discussions to play Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, and wasn’t considering it as he believed previous rumors that James McAvoy had been cast (which were untrue), but now seems amenable to the idea. “…I certainly wouldn’t take myself out of the conversation … if I was part of it.”
