    Comments

    1. What happened to Charliejade.com ? I remember sometime ago Summer said she convinced Robert to renew the site. Seems like a better address than dot net.

      Re: Kane and Lynch. The movie rights were actually sold before the game was even completed. It might be an interesting trend that there are games created with the movies in mind.

      Well, it might be an Eidos-only thing (owner of franchises such as Hitman and Tomb Raider) though, as they already have some experience with this.

    2. Re: The A-Team movie.

      Bruce Willis seems like a decent choice–he’s got the gravitas and the sense of humor to pull off a decent Hannibal.

      However, he’s stepping into a well-established role, and some purists may not like him there. He should be careful. The fans may hoist him by his own Peppard.

    3. tlsmith1963 says:

      Doctor Who isn’t going to only do specials next year because of David Tennant doing Hamlet. The break is supposedly so new showrunner Steven Moffat can get his version of the show ready. DT took the Hamlet role *after* they had already decided to take the break.
