Writer Talks Silver Surfer

Published on: 31st July, 2007

IGN confirmed that the writer for the Silver Surfer spin-off movie will be J. Michael Straczynski. Um, apparently he created the show Babylon 5? Maybe I’m not as much of a nerd as I thought I was, because I have no idea who that is and I never watched that show. Ever.
He [...]

‘Death Race’ Cast

Published on: 31st July, 2007

How many movies can they make about racing cars? Aren’t the Fast and the Furious movies enough? Why remake a bad racing movie?

MTV did an interview with Spawn creator Todd McFarlane about his independent “reboot” of the Spawn franchise after the last one was a gi-normous disaster. This one he’s doing on his [...]

Simpsons Bring in the Doh

Published on: 30th July, 2007

… and other puns involving “Homers,” “odyssey,” and “dough-nuts.”

Updated with actual numbers since the estimates were pretty far off.

This total is the fifth highest opening of the year and the third highest for an animated feature [...]
