and if they are going to do the WWII thing as planned–Bucky is a part of that.

But yeah - the Winter Soldier push, would be pretty cool

He looks decent as GL in the promo picture below that article.

I’ll probably look pretty sweet once it’s completed

That was just an April Fool’s joke that they’re milking now :stuck_out_tongue:

Also - Steve Sansweet confirmed at C2E2 that LucasFilm plans to revisit the original cast of characters from Star Wars in post Return of the Jedi adventures.

However, it will be in the same animated format as The Clone Wars series running today.

Can’t call it the Ultimate Set huh? I guess they’ll continue to milk us for years to come.

I tried watching Clone Wars, but couldn’t get into it. I hope the adventures will be based on EU, but I have a feeling they’ll be original stories.

They’re only about 20 minutes an episode. I watch them with my daughters. Some of the episodes are pretty good. One of the recent episodes was a Seven Samurai homage. It was called ‘Bounty Hunters’.

I have to be picky in what I choose to watch. I have a completionist OCD, which leads me to watching a whole series even if I think the series is crap. It has to be total crap (in my opinion) for me not to finish it. This has lead to many wasted hours watching or reading series/books that I’m not enjoying when I could be watching/reading something I would enjoy.

I’m not saying Clone Wars is crap, but I am not willing to dedicate the time for it at this moment to find out.

Stumbled upon this cool little SciFi short film, the link has a HD imbedded video and some preproduction artwork. Very impressive, esspecially since it was producted for only $5,000.-

That was nice. Thanks.

Gotta agree with slashfilm, impressive that it could be done on that budget, but it doesn’t really grab me.

Ridley Scott wants to make not just one, but TWO Alien prequels, and shoot them in 3D. Also says he would rather spend time working on new material than converting his past works like Blade Runner into 3D.

I hope more movies are FILMED in 3D as opposed to being converted poorly afterward like Clash of the Titans. I read that James Cameron wants to convert Titanic into 3D but to do it properly will take 4 years, not a few weeks like Clash of the Titans.
I would rather see Ridley Scott work on new material too, but I sure would be in the theatre for Blade Runner 3D. Maybe he will make a sequel or prequel in 3D one day. This Alien prequel is going to be AWESOME!

A well crafted graphic novel which caused a bit of a stir is being transformed into a screenplay-

http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/04/29/fox-to-adapt-ed-brubakers-comic-book-incognito/

It has begun its long slow trek to release-

I saw this a few weeks ago. I don’t mean to crap on everyone who loves it, but I found it hard to root for the lead. Yes, I know he was “supposed” to be a bumbling idiot in the beginning, but he was too much of one. How many times must a guy call his wife, then have the bad guys suddenly find him before he figures out, “Oh, they seem to be finding me every time I talk with my wife”?

That said, I enjoyed the second half way more than the first. But, it doesn’t negate the first half for me. Maybe I fell victim to expecting too much the way it was hyped.

P.S. Where’s the District 9 thread?

I didn’t see this posted yet, but EW is reporting that Hugo Weaving is set to play Red Skull.

Jon Favreau has confirmed with MTV News that the character Howard Stark, father of “Iron Man” Tony Stark, will appear in Joe Johnston’s “Captain America: The First Avenger”.
