Randy from www.darkchylde.com writes: Just wanted to give a heads up that the first filmic images have been captured of Darkchylde, based on the comic of the same name. I am intimately involved, as is 5 time Oscar Winner Richard Taylor (King Kong, Lord of the Rings) and Weta Workshop, and Dark Horse (Hellboy).
Story revolves around a very pretty girl’s curse that allows her to transform into different creatures from her nightmares. Ariel Chylde is a physical pandora’s box, and these creatures borrow her blood and bones to hitchhike over to our world. Everytime Ariel changes, she sets a different creature free in her small southern town.
We have the A list team, and our expressed goal is to produce an original, beautifully shot, atmospheric horror film, played very straight and very dark, ala a modern Carrie or Ridley Scott’s Alien, with a wicked, sexy cool Underworld vibe. Our only wish is to create a film for the horror fans of the world to get excited about, so everyone please wish us luck!
Promise to report more when able.

Stephen Jewell writes: This week, the great Ian McKellen is back in New Zealand, acting in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s touring productions of King Lear and The Seagull. He tells STEPHEN JEWELL why he can’t have sex in Singapore or smoke in New Zealand and why “you can always rely on Shakespeare”. Just as the titular majesty goes missing in the third act of King Lear, Sir Ian McKellen is proving equally elusive. The original plan was to travel up to Stratford-upon-Avon to watch the final performance of King Lear at the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Courtyard Theatre and then meet McKellen and co-star Frances Barber the following day.

The Bearded One himself, Peter Jackson, made a surprise cameo in the latest episode of the hit HBO show ‘Entourage’. Much like UK’s ‘Extras’ (where Sir Ian McKellen and Orlando Bloom spoofed themselves), ‘Entourage’ focuses on the entertainment industry. Peter most likely spoofed himself in the episode (I have yet to see it). If anyone catches it on YouTube, drop me a line!
Ronald let us in on PJ’s cameo: Actually Peter played himself talking directly with Eric (Vince’s personal business manager) about producing a movie with Vince based on some of Peter’s gaming ventures. Pete was in a “Motion Capture” suit practicing swordplay with another fellow. Said specifically he was glad to be able to reach into Vince’s camp without having to go through Ari Gold to do so.

hi all, Xoanon here. How excited was I today when I ripped open a package and out popped Kristin Thompson’s ‘The Frodo Franchise: The Lord of the Rings and Modern Hollywood’. It seems like years ago we spoke about this book, and now it is finally out there for the fans to read! Learn about the early days of ‘TheOneRing.net’ (and the LOTR internet zeitgeist), and all other manner of geeky goodness! [More]
