Empire Magazine is promising details about the movie adaptation of J.R. Tolkien’s book that Director Guillermo del toro is tackling.
As an incentive to buy the latest issue, Empire is sharing a quote from an interview with del Toro:
“Whatever The Hobbit ends up being, it has to ultimately blend seamlessly into the first movie of the trilogy. We have to respect the cosmology and the canon established by the trilogy and follow it.”

IGN is sharing an interview of Scriptwriter Justin Marks who penned the screenplay of Street Fighter The Legend of Chun-Li, the upcoming movie based on the famous Capcom franchise and starring Kristin Kreuk in the lead role:
If you were wondering why this new Street Fighter movie isn’t about Ryu or Ken well Justin Marks explains that it’s to bring something new, something different from what may have been done in the past. “Chun-Li is a fresh bottle of water” in the Street Fighter universe!

Stargate Universe is the new Stargate tv series that should start to air on the sci-fi channel in Summer 2009. We may hope three seasons of SGU, and more if the ratings are good enough. The first season will count 20 episodes.
This episode list of Stargate Universe will be completed when more episode titles are available and when we get our hands on summaries of SGU episodes.
In Stargate Universe we will follow a team of soldiers and scientist aboard the Ancient ship Destiny trhough uncharted space!

(Click on the quad poster to enlarge it.) WATCHMEN
This city is afraid of me. I’ve seen its true face.
The movie Watchmen, directed by Zack Snyder, is based on a comic book by writer Alan Moore (a grumpy old man who’s just disdainfully spitting on this marvelous movie adaptation) and illustrator Dave Gibbons (a good chap who did help Director Snyder). The story is set in an alternate 1985 where superheroes exist, tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union are at an all time high.

Carriers is an upcoming thriller horror movie written and directed the Pastor brothers (Alex Pastor and David Pastor). The movie follows four friends who try to get away from a worldwide flu pandemic that almost wiped out mankind in a very short time span. It is starring Lou Taylor Pucci, Chris Pine, Piper Perabo and Emily VanCamp.
Watch below the movie trailer of Carriers:
CARRIERS
Plot:
“Four friends fleeing a viral pandemic soon learn they are more dangerous than any virus.
A deadly virus has spread across the globe. Contagion is everywhere, no one is safe and no one can be trusted. Four young attractive people race through the back roads of the American West to the pounding beat of a vacation soundtrack. Their aim is to retreat to secluded utopian beach in the Gulf of Mexico, where they could peacefully wait out the pandemic and survive the apocalyptic disease. CARRIERS follow their getaway through a surreal and dangerous world where laws and rules no longer apply. Their plans take a grim turn when their car breaks down on an isolated road starting a chain of events that will seal the fate of each of them in an inexorable and horrifying voyage of hell through a western landscape populated by only the hideous dead or the twisted living. Their desperate retreat south turns into a deadly battle against infected children, homicidal doctors, crazed survivalists, rabid dogs, and, finally each other. The virus is the least of their problems as horrible choices must be made in the face of lost humanity.”
I’m both thrilled and horrified by this Carriers movie!
The premise of this post-apocalyptic thriller isn’t so farfetched: a deadly mutation of a bird flu in the near future is not so unlikely… And the new virus resulting from such a mutation could infect millions of people around the world, causing a flu pandemic worse than ever! Would be a bleak future…
I doubt that the carriers would have murderous thoughts like in the film though. But still, this is a hell of a movie! Can’t understand why the movie doesn’t have an official release date yet. Carriers deserves a theater release! Hope that Paramount vantage will really support the movie.
In the new world order there will be no saviors or survivors: there will be only carriers!
