Nerd News: Hello Kitties, Indian Scifi, Thundercats and more

Vol. 2, Issue 4

Turns out, the move to Friday might actually have been a good thing for Fringe. My fears might be all for naught!

In movie news this week:

• The next Bond movie has a possible title: Red Sky at Night.
• Is there a possibility for a Matrix 4 and 5?
• Want some Thor or Cap on your desktop?
• Some more pics from the Spider-man set. I think it's funny that most of the resleased shots have been of the stunt double(s) running around.
• The Hobbit's been delayed again. This time due to Peter Jackson having emergency surgery. Pretty soon "The Hobbit" is going to be the film industry's "Scottish Play." (Macbeth for you non-theater types.)
• I've been hearing things about an Alien prequel and about a new Ridley Scott project, Prometheus.I guess they are the same thing? And not really an Alien prequel? But will involve parts of Alien canon?

The variety of plush dolls available from Neatoshop is pretty amazing. Like these:

I'm thinking, once we eventually have our own house, perhaps a Star Wars bathroom to go with the Star Wars kitchen?

Colt sent me this video to watch today: The only scifi movie you need to watch for the rest of your life.

Wow.

Thanks to the success of Riese, SyFy's picked up another Web series: The Mercury Men.

In TV news:

• Some possible Doctor Who plotlines, including another Amy pregnancy?
• McG might be helming the new Wonder Woman tv show. (Interesting thoughts on this from The Nerdy Bird.)
• SyFy's released casting news for BSG: Blood and Chrome.
• This is nearly enough to make we want to watch The Office again: Will Ferrell is the new temp.
• Images and info on the new Thundercats cartoon were released:

Must everything look so anime? I have nothing against the art form, I just know that there are so many other forms of animation, and so many cartoons are being rebooted like this.

I found a lot of really awesome posters this week:

From Olly Moss (Look carefully at this one):

Didja see both Wolverine and Batman?

From Jorge Gonzales:

And from Fro Design:

Love these Hello Kitties. I know I've posted something similar before, but these are new to me.

This is a pretty epic piece of music (50-something minutes?), and I only listened to a bit before I turned it off, but it's really an interesting idea: The Jurassic Park theme, slowed down 1000 times.

And for those who are interested: Comic Con tickets go on sale--for realsies this time!--Feb. 5.
