In the News:
Online media sparks big entertainment industry growth by tapping into what is being termed “convergent platforms.” Barry Josephson is set to produce a film adaptation of Michael Buckley’s children book series ‘The Sisters Grimm.” Britain’s BBFC put the breaks on the distribution of the video game “Manhunt 2.”
Movie Talk:
Walt Disney is looking to change its slant on it’s traditional approach to the fairy tale with “Enchanted,” a fractured tale that is a combination old-school animation, new CGI technology and live-action.
Because we had so much content to cover for this show there will be no trivia, movie review or game cube but fear not, the Special Segment will return for the next program.
TV Talk:
We have “Heroes,” “Heroes,” and more “Heroes” news this week. Six more new talented actors will be added to NBC’s hit show as regular cast members for Season Two of the highly popular television show…..and, Missy Peregem makes the jump from “Heroes” and NBC to the CW Network where she will be one of the main characters for the new SF show “Reaper.”
Future Talk:
The crystal ball was murky for this segment which is evident for what Hollywood has in store for movie goers over the next year or so, at least with the two films we will be talking about.
Jack Black is a male witch in a comedy called “Man-Witch.” We all know Jack is better than this and can only hope his talent will save this one from the cauldron of mediocrity. Director Walt Becker is getting John Travolta and Robin Williams together for a sequel to the surprise hit “Wild Hogs,” in this new film called “Old Dogs.”
