In the News:

Hidden Frontier Productions is offering up its first original non-Star Trek science fiction project called “Frontier Guard.”

Google-owned YouTube is teaming up with several independent filmmakers to begin setting up a virtual screening room for indie works in progress for a global audience to view.

From the SoSF International News Desk:
Spanish actress Leonor Watling, who starred in the hit film “The Oxford Murders” has been chosen to star in Spain’s first huge 3-D fantasy film titled “The Magic Tale.”

Movie Talk:

On August 1st the Mummy franchise packs up its wrappings and moves the show from the Middle East to the Far East with the third Brendan Fraser film titled “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.”

Eddie Murphy stars as a human-looking starship that is piloted by a group of miniature astronauts and captained by, you guessed it, an itsy-bitsy Eddie Murphy named Captain Dave.

Slice of Trivia: Kurt of St. George has three depressing clips, at least that’s the theme. The clips are actually excellent. See if you can guess them faster than our stumped studio crew. Got ideas? Send them to sliceoftrivia at gmail.com
