According to the New York Times, director Guillermo del Toro has stepped back from the director's chair for the highly anticipated prequel to Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and will not guide J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit". The famed genre director ("Hellboy," "Pan's Labyrinth") told the Times that his reason for turning his [...]

Hollywood seems determined to give us a reboot of "Logan's Run" whether we want it or not.
The project was originally supposed to be directed by Bryan Singer, but he bowed out to pursue other projects. We hadn't heard much about it since then, but according to the Hollywood Reporter, the project is back on again with a new director.
Just as the finale to "Battlestar Galactica" did, the finale of "Lost" has polarized fans.
Some liked it, some loathed it, others were left scratching their heads.
Yesterday we brought you news that Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley had emerged as the leading candidate rumored to replace Megan Fox in the upcoming "Tranformers 3."
It's now official.
Ever since the news broke that Megan Fox had parted with "Transformers 3," Hollywood has been buzzing about why the actress left the role that made her a star.
Many assumed it was fallout from her public feud with director Michael Bay. Last summer, Fox was critical of Bay during the publicity tour for "Transformers 2" and many speculated this carried over to the next installment.
Ever since it was announced that the Spider-Man franchise would get a reboot with the next installment, Hollywood has been buzzing with potential replacements for actor Toby McGuire.
While the ratings for the series finale of "Lost" may not have been record-setting, the finale has set a record. It's one of the fastest downloaded files on file sharing networks.
Seven years ago, Fox gave the pink slip to "Futurama." Now endless repeats on cable, solid DVD set sales and four direct-to-DVD movies later, the series is making a comeback. The first half of 26-episode sixth season will debut in June on Comedy Central.
How will the move to cable affect the show? Producer David X. Cohen says that the show will still be the same "Futurama" we've come to know and love.
Warning: SPOILERS ahead for the final moments of "Lost." If you haven't seen it and don't want to know, please turn back now.
When "Batman: Under the Red Hood" hits DVD and Blu Ray next month, fans of the campy 60's series may notice that this version of the Joker, voiced by John DiMaggio, seems a bit familiar. That's because DiMaggio, who provides the voice of Bender on "Futurama," says that the portrayal of the Joker by actor Caesar Romero in the classic live-action series was a major influence on his interpretation of the role.
On last week's Slice of SciFi, we spoke to actress Felicia Day. Among the myriad of topics we discussed was her work on the popular web series, "The Guild."
The third season of the show just hit DVD and Day says she's hard at work on season four.
The end of an era was reached today as the space shuttle Atlantis returned from its final mission in space.
The shuttle touched down at Cape Canaveral Wednesday morning, bringing home six astronauts from a mission to the international space station and closing the book on Atlantis' twenty-five years of missions.
While we've still got half a dozen episodes left in series five, an episode from the upcoming series six of "Doctor Who" is creating a lot of excitement for fans.
It's the long-awaited episode by author Neil Gaiman. Gaiman revealed the cover of his script over the weekend via Twitter but kept his fingers over the title.
It's Friday and that means it's time for a bit of listener feedback! And we'll also find out the latest from Sweetleaf!
This is the show where our loyal, adoring, and inquisitive fans and listeners get to hear us comment on their comments about our stories and comments... it's the Circle of Entertainment Life!
