Dark Shadows - First Famil Pic Revealed

I know nothing about Dark Shadows, other than the fact that Tim Burton is directing and the obvious news that Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are in it!

Here below is the first pic of the family from the film with the character descriptions below that. So if you know what this is all about - enjoy!

Here’s that family, from left to right:

Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter) – This prim and proper psychiatrist, who has taken up residence with the Collins family to care for their troubled youngest boy, might seem to break that trend — but don’t bet on it.

Carolyn Stoddard (Chloë Moretz) — Moretz is on the human side of the spectrum in Dark Shadows — though that doesn’t mean this cousin of young David Collins (and daughter of Michelle Pfeiffer’s character, seen on the far right) isn’t without her own peculiarities.

Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green) — The Bond girl from Casino Royale turns up here as the villain of the story.

David Collins (Gulliver McGrath) — Lonely, confused, and neglected by his pompous father (Jonny Lee Miller, over on the right next to Pfeiffer), David has no one to confide in except his bizarre psychiatrist — and the dead people he claims to see.

Victoria Winters (Bella Heathcote) — This young woman arrives to become David’s new governess, only to find herself swept up in the vampire-witch melodrama.

Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) — He was an 18th century gentleman, a businessman just before the Revolutionary War, who was transformed against his will into a vampire and buried in a tomb for two centuries. After he finally emerges, uncovered by construction workers in the year 1972, he seeks out his descendants — as well as some long-ago foes and a possible lost love.

Mrs. Johnson (Ray Shirley) — She is the mostly blind, mostly deaf maid, who has been with them for decades and decades. You might find her polishing a piece of silverware with a slab of baloney because she thinks it’s a polishing cloth.

Willie Loomis (Jackie Earle Haley) — He’s the guy who takes out the trash, mows the lawns, and fixes the cars, except he’s usually so drunk and so disinterested that he doesn’t take his job seriously anymore.

Roger Collins (Jonny Lee Miller) — This scion of the once-great Collins family is one of the main reasons the aristocratic clan has fallen into such disgrace.

Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) — The mother of Carolyn Stoddard, and mother-figure to David, she’s the one adult member of the Collins clan who is at least slightly competent.

Milla Jovovich Drops Some 'Resident Evil: Retribution' Spoilers...

Milla Jovovich has been giving away some major spoilers to her new Resident Evil: Retribution movie recently via interviews and Tweets.

Here's what we know so far:


- Leon Kennedy and Barry Burton will make their first appearances in the series along with Ada Wong, who was in the Resident Evil 2, 4, and The Darkside Chronicles video games. Shawn Roberts will also return to play the villainous Albert Wesker.


- Chris Redfield (Wentworth Miller), Claire Redfield (Ali Larter), and K-Mart (Spencer Locke) won’t return because they’ve been abducted by the Umbrella Corporation. Sienna Guillory will be back again as Jill Valentine however and you can expect some fireworks between her and Alice (Jovovich).


- Remember mind-controlling parasite “Las Plagas” in Resident Evil 4? It's bacccckkkk. She tweeted: "alright guys! gotta go! 1 let mini spoiler tho! we will hve the Las Plagas parasite!!! have an awesome day!"


- Jovovich says she is hopeful that a sixth Resident Evil keeps all the major characters together, alluding of course that all of the new characters will survive Retribution.

Director Justin Lin Drops 'Terminator' To Helm Sixth 'Fast And Furious' Film

Bad news for Terminator fans and good news for Fast and Furious fans (like me), but director Justin Lin has dropped his upcoming Terminator movie in favour of doing a sixth (and possibly final) Fast and Furious movie.

He supposedly still wants to direct the new Terminator movie but has chosen F&F to be his next project instead...

Dinosaurs Not Killed By Asteroid And Faster Than Light Particles?

It was discovered last week that not only did an asteroid not wipe out the Dinosaurs as previously thought, but also that particles can indeed travel faster than light which was though to be impossible based on the (Einstein-based) physics in our universe.

Dino's:

According to NASA, its 'NEOWISE' (Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) mission discovered the Baptisina asteroids (of which one was blamed for the extinction level event that killed the Dinosaurs) weren't formed 160 million years ago, as previously thought:


The NEOWISE team measured the reflectivity and the size of about 120,000 asteroids in the main belt, including 1,056 members of the Baptistina family. The scientists calculated the original parent Baptistina asteroid actually broke up closer to 80 million years ago, half as long as originally proposed.
The period between Baptisina's breakup and the extinction event is 15 million years. Although we consider that a long time, it's not long enough to be dinosaur-killing years. NASA scientists say that it takes tens of millions of years for asteroid remnants to "move into a resonance spot ... where gravity nudges from Jupiter and Saturn can act like a pinball machine to fling asteroids out of the main belt and into the region near Earth."

In other words, there wasn't enough time for the Baptisina asteroids to unseat dinosaurs as the champions of planet Earth and give our rat-sized forebears the chance to grow and develop brains, thumbs, upright spines and beer guts.

They do not however have an answer to what actually happened to our reptilian predecessors...

Faster than light:

Even though most respected scientists (and even the actual scientists who did the experiment themselves) are expecting these findings to be imminently debunked or a mistake to have been made in the calculations regarding the event, it would seem that a group of Italian scientists discovered last week that a neutrino they fired off in their lab travelled a distance of 730km sixty billionths of a second quicker than the speed of light which should have taken 2.4 milliseconds...

Does this mean that we'll be driving flying Deloreans very soon? No, it simply means that if the findings are correct then it's a huge scientific revelation in that Einstein was wrong about his special theory of relativity, physics have to be slightly re-written and that the findings could lead to advancements in power production among other things. Hmmmmm...

UK Primeval TV Show Getting Canadian Spin Off/Reboot Series Called 'New World'?

No confirmation at this  time of whether this news actually relates to a spin off or reboot (as there are conflicting news reports) but it would seem the Primeval series has a future, even if it's not in its original form.

This is from both the official release from SPACE and then info from SFX magazine:


SPACE:

We're excited to announce today that SPACE has ordered a new original drama series known as Primeval: New World!

The series will run 13 one hour long episodes and will build on the UK Primeval mythology, taking place in the same universe that we've come to know and love. The story will centre on a new Canadian team of animal experts taking on whatever past or future creatures come through the anomalies that are now appearing around the world.

The creative team behind New World boasts an all Canadian team of writers, and takes place in Vancouver, continuing the SPACE tradition of creating top quality original Canadian genre programming!


SFX:
This new series will be "darker and scarier" than the original and it will have a younger, sexier cast and lots of gory special effects to go with it; as a result of this the new show will air at the later time of 9pm [hmmm... do they mean UK time?].
Production is set to start in the winter of 2012 and the show will be filmed mostly in Vancouver. The special effects of the show will be dealt by Impossible's London group. Jonathan Drake, managing director of Impossible says that this is not a continuation of Primeval but rather "a bigger, better, badder re-imagining of the show".

Premium Rush - Trailer

Joseph Gordon Levitt's fame is growing all the time with his appearances in Inception and The Dark Knight rises being his high points recently, but here's another one for you in the form of 'Premium Rush'...

Synopsis:

“A New York bike messenger is given an envelope by a young woman at an uptown Manhattan college and is told he has 90 minutes to deliver it to an address in Chinatown. Complications ensue when an undercover police office appears and demands the envelope on special grounds. The truth, hidden motivations, and the life-and-death stakes on all sides are revealed through a series of flashbacks as the cop and the messenger engage in a length-of-Manhattan chase, racing against time after the messenger discovers the precious nature of the envelope’s slender contents. This movie also stars Jamie Chung (Grown Ups, Hangover II), Dania Ramirez (Entourage, Heroes), Michael Shannon (Boardwalk Empire)”

DEATH VALLEY - new trailer

For anyone that missed my post on Death Valley.....here's another trailer from the series. 4 episodes in and this is on course for a renewal.

Awesome. DON'T MISS IT.

Scarlett Johannson shows more than she wanted!!!

Apparently the poor Ms Johannson has come a cropper and had her mobile phone hacked.....and the silly girl has left some naughty photo's on there!!!



Silly, silly. What is it with celebs.......lets take naked photo's of myself and then accidentally leave my phone laying around so the photo's find their way into the media. Now the likes of Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus and other Z list celebs could always do with a publicity injection but I would have thought Scarlett Johannson was big enough not to need this kinda press.



I guess that Chris Hemsworth and Hiddleston must have seen the photos and thought they'd sneak a cheeky look whilst on set.

Don't blame them really!!

And if you wanna see the photo's I suggest you find them yourselves...apparently the FBI are doing some thorough investigation of the photo's in question....I also wouldn't wanna get sued for posting them!!!

ANDY WHITFIELD DIES - SPARTACUS FANS IN MOURNING

I've just read the tragic news that Andy (Spartacus: Blood and sand) Whitfield has died from cancer aged only 39. As with all fans of Spartacus, I recall that the second season was put on hold as Whitfield was diagnosed with cancer; hence the prequel series focusing on the events running up to the original series. I also heard the good news that the cancer had gone into remission. But as with most things the good news was not to last and the tragic news broke that the cancer was back.



I, as I'm sure many did, hoped that Whitfield would beat the disease and return to the show that made him famous. Sadly that was not to be and the following press release details the final days of Spartacus:

"On a beautiful sunny Sydney spring morning, surrounded by his family, in the arms of his loving wife, our beautiful young warrior Andy Whitfield lost his 18 month battle with lymphoma cancer," Whitfield's wife Vashti said in a statement. "He passed peacefully surrounded by love. Thank you to all his fans whose love and support have help carry him to this point. He will be remembered as the inspiring, courageous and gentle man, father and husband he was."

Andy Whitfield made the series what it was; great, glorious, bloody and gratuitous. I was afraid that it was just going to be a rip-off of 300 with lower production values, but Whitfield and the rest of the cast drew you in from the start and made the show a great success.

Andy Whitfield will be missed by all, and the thoughts and prayers of the millions of fans will be with his family.



RIP - Andy Whitfield (39) 2011.
