More Horribleness! ‘Dr. Horrible 2’ Could Film Next Year

More Horribleness! ‘Dr. Horrible 2’ Could Film Next Year
io9

We may not have to wait too much longer for more Dr. Horrible — rumor has it the script for the sequel could be done by the end of this year. Which means Neil Patrick Harris might be putting on his evil goggles one more time in 2013!

Dr. Horrible SPOILER ALERT:

Kind of cool, but I’m trying to figure out how Dr. Horrible would be any good without Felcia Day. And seeing how her character died… or maybe Dr. Horrible can bring her back to life. Or maybe flash backs? Who knows.

With Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog airing tonight on The CW, it seemed like an appropriate time to post this teaser trailer from four years ago.

I mean it’s just good fun.

 

The Red Pill - A Review of ‘The Matrix’ — Review

The Red Pill - A Review of ‘The Matrix’

“The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work… when you go to church… when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.”

Ever since the inception of The MovieByte Podcast, and the MovieByte site, I have looked forward to this day with some trepidation. You see, The Matrix is one of my all-time favorite films, and something like “your favorite film” is so subjective, and there are people…

Interview with Star Trek TNG Remastering Team

Interview with Star Trek TNG Remastering Team
Trek Core

A few weeks ago CBS invited TrekCore to talk with the CBS Digital team responsible for the wondrous restoration and remastering of Star Trek: The Next Generation in high definition. Craig Weiss and his team were very generous with their time and answered a huge number of questions, often very technical in nature. I hope you enjoy the resulting interview and leave with a greater understanding and appreciation for the monumental effort that this project represents, and of the wonderfully talented people who are working tirelessly behind-the-scenes to make it happen.

‘Looper’ Star Emily Blunt to be Ms. Marvel?
FilmoFilia.com

Well, Brit thesps Emily Blunt and Ruth Wilson are reportedly the final two contenders to play Ms. Marvel in Marvel’s The Avengers 2, never mind that Ms. Marvel isn’t a confirmed character in the film.

For you non-nerds in the audience, Carol Danvers, later known as Ms. Marvel is an air force pilot who gains superpowers after an accident in a Kree device explosion – fusing her DNA into half-human, half-Kree.

Emily Blunt offered us a great performance in Looper. I was very impressed.

What do The Lord of the RingsIndiana Jones, and a new independent Christian filmBeyond the Mask (currently in production) have in common?

John Rhys-Davies.

This evening the actor performs his first shoot on the set of the film, which takes place in the tumult of 1770s England and America. In 1981 and 1989 the SAG award-winning actor brought the good-natured Sallah to life in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Last decade he won the hearts of millions with his boisterous performance as Gimli in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Directors Guild Difficulty with ‘Cloud Atlas’ Credits

Directors Guild Difficulty with ‘Cloud Atlas’ Credits
Slash Film

Given the often contentious relationship between creators and the work they make, unions such as the Directors Guild of America serve a useful purpose. But sometimes rules just get in the way, which seemed for a moment like it would present a problem for Cloud Atlas, written by Tom Tykwer and Andy and Lana Wachowski (which is not a big deal for the WGA) and directed by all three as well. That last part is kind of a big deal for the DGA, which is old enough to remember when movies just had, like, ONE director.

Any credits issues for the film have been worked out, and so unlike the…

‘Dr. Horrible’ To Air on The CW
Entertainment Weekly

Muahahahaha!

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog now has a premiere date to air on actual TV. Joss Whedon’s stand-alone production of online musical genius starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, and Felicia Day will make its debut on The CW on Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 9 p.m.

You know this is an industry mired in the old way when this is haled as the premiere, seeing how we are long past the premiere of Dr. Horrible. Still, it’s kind of fun to see Joss Whedon’s work getting more recognition now that The Avengers has proven such a success.

 

‘Buffy’ Was Great TV

‘Buffy’ Was Great TV
This Was Television

Yes, you were all right. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a good show. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say it’s a great show—maybe not consistently great, but one that more often than not reaches highs I’d have never thought a show with that title, on those networks, was capable of reaching.

Yes, I admit it, I’m a geek. I liked Buffy. So sue me. Certainly seasons one through three. The later seasons began to have more and more issues, but I liked Buffy. So apropos of nothing, I’m sharing it with you. You should read the linked article, it’s fun.

Yeah, it was late 90s TV and sometimes it…
