tomcruisesmall.jpgThis might be ‘pinch of salt time’ but DigitalSpy reports that Tom Cruise is rumoured to be in negotiations for a role in the next Star Trek film. According to the story, Cruise is desperate for a role on the movie and an ‘insider’ told Canada’s TV Guide magazine “He didn’t even need to be begged to appear in it.”

Cruise, at first only expecting a cameo role is apparently now in the running to play Spock. As far fetched as this story might sound, it’s worth remembering that Cruise worked with Star Trek XI director JJ Abrams on MI3 and has a fine track record of portraying characters with a limited range of facial expressions. Belief in extraterrestrial intelligence might also weigh in his favour during casting.

ewanmcgregorsmall.jpgEwan McGregor is set to have another foray into the realm of sci-fi after signing to star in Franklyn, from British first-time writer-director Gerald McMorrow. McMorrow has so far been earning his living directing commercials but his surreal sci-fi short film “Thespian X” won the TCM Classic Shorts prize in 2002.

Franklyn is built around a split narrative set simultaneously in contemporary London and in a future metropolis ruled by religious fervor. It’s the story of four lost souls, divided by two parallel worlds, on course for an explosive collision when a single bullet will decide all their fates. Jeremy Thomas will produce with shooting set to commence next summer in the U.K. London-based FX house Double Negative will be handling the visual trickery.

kungfusmall.jpgThe classic 1970s TV series Kung Fu is being adapted for the big screen reports Variety. Legendary pictures will finance the project with Allen and Albert Hughes undertaking directing duties. Thomas Tull, Scott Mednick and Jon Jashni are set to produce with original series creator Ed Spielman taking an executive production role. Cory Goodman will rewrite a script penned by Howard Friedlander and according to the report, “the Zen spirit of that David Carradine series will be preserved in the film”.

The original TV show was set in the American old west and followed the adventures of a Shaolin monk called Kwai Chang Caine, who used his martial arts skills to seeks his long lost half-brother, Danny Caine. Previous attempts at transferring the franchise to the big screen include Kung Fu:The Movie (1986) and Kung Fu:The Next Generation (1987) starring Brandon Lee. A tentative 2008 release date is suggested.

Hulk Is Hero. It has been a long and hard two years for director Louis Letterier. To bring The Incredible Hulk to the screen was not only only a huge task in terms of scale but also in terms of a media and fanbase who were protective over a character they felt had been misconstrued […]

The Impending Oil Crisis

quote I am a little leary of the situation. The truth will come out when, and if the US economy, and the dollar begins to strengthen. If prices remain high, you’ll know someone is lying. Either OPEC doesn’t have the supply they claim they have, or Analysts are incorrect when they say demand has decreased. Personally, I don’t buy the claim that demand has decreased. Population is ever increasing, so, the the demand should always be increasing. quote
