oh now wait a minute! You want acting in a Transformers movie??? What next, you would like to see an Ed Wood film with out space ships held up by wires? Some things are just not going to be happening any time soon!

Hey, now… The robots performed their parts real well! Optimus’ death nearly bought a tear to my eye…

But it might help if they renewed the actors contracts at some point…

A ‘Logan’s Run’ remake??? My first reaction was, “Noooooooo!!!” But after reading who might helm the project I thought, “This may not be so bad after all…” Read the article and let me know what you think-

No, not currently (despite the hype.) I know a guy in the industry. I’ll just say that if he’s not involved, I have to think it’s still a pipe dream.

He Man makes the prime time news!!! (watch the scroll along the bottom of the screen)-

Spielberg’s new TV Series: Terra Nova-

It sounds just awful, I can’t even imagine how they sold the idea…:frowning: (IMHO)

From the article/press release:

With the majority of plant and animal life extinct, devotion to science has brought mankind to the brink of destruction, but has also provided its only hope for salvation. Knowing there is no way to reverse the damage to the planet, a coalition of scientists has managed to open up a fracture in the space-time continuum, creating a portal to prehistoric Earth.

Uhm… what? How exactly does a ‘devotion to science’ lead to the death of the planet? Sounds more like mismanagement of scientific discovery. Even that aside, how have they given up hope on fixing their mistakes but have managed to do something infinitely more difficult: opening a fracture in space time allowing them to travel backwards in time! WTF
Simplistic on the surface and nonsensical underneath. Are we sure this isnt the idea of Lucas or Cameron?

that’s all you had to say :smiley:

OK, that threw me. I figured the names on screen were the actors’ names, and kept going “He looks familiar, he looks familiar, she looks just like Grace Park…”

This could be awesome! Or I could be majorly let down…

I loved Neil Gaiman’s ‘The Graveyard Book’, but it is hard to envision it coming to the big screen. I wish them the best of luck…

We should hire this guy for the GWC meetup!:smiley:

‘Titanic’ director Cameron joins effort to plug Gulf spill

WASHINGTON — Filmmaker James Cameron and another Canadian who built submersibles for the director’s 1989 thriller “The Abyss” joined talks on Tuesday in Washington on innovative ways of capping the Gulf oil spill.

Cameron and Phil Nuytten, head of North Vancouver-based Nuytco Research, were to join several deepwater and oil sector experts meeting with Environmental Protection Agency officials, a spokeswoman for Nuytco told AFP.

No details of their talks were immediately available.
After failing to plug the leak with mud, BP has moved on to a plan to cut the leaking pipe and seal it with a tight cap. The company said this latest effort could stem the gushing oil within 24 hours.

The company is also drilling two relief wells, but these are not expected to be ready until August.

Nuytten is a diving pioneer who conceived of a rotary joint technology used in his company’s renowned Newtsuit and other diving suits used in underwater exploration and rescues.

Looks like The Abyss may come true. Time for an Abyss frak me thinks.

Josh Holloway may be Captain America?

Chris Evans is already cast as Cap, isnt he?

Josh would make an awesome Hawkeye though.
