NFD Daily Returns! This time, It’s Personal (Okay, no, not really)
Welcome back! I apologize to you all for my extended absence - there really are good reasons however. I've been working 12 hour shifts at work to adjust for the new network we're setting up, and it left me utterly without the energy to update the site. However, as you can tell, David and Russ are working to keep you up to date when they can, and now that I'm back, I've got a bevvy of news bits for you and some articles. Let's get it started!
First off - I won't be covering any Twilight premiere crap on this blog, so don't worry about that. The concept of people finding it romantic when a dude lurks in their room at night just creeps me directly the hell out. Moving on...
Incredibly belated, I have a nice Halloween video - apparently Hoobastank covered the Ghostbusters theme, and as cheesey as it is, I still love it! They riff more on the Real Ghostbusters than the Ghostbusters movie though, so be prepared for some outrageous props. Still fun though.
The writer for FX's The Shield, John Hlavin, just announced that he will be writing the fourth Underworld film, and it will not be a prequel. Little else is known, since no actors have signed on, except he hopes to provide a new tapestry for things to take place, and add to the mythology, while honoring what came before.
Next up, we have a clip from the very non-Twilight Vampire story, Daybreakers. This looks like it's going to rock the casbah in a big way, and give me another dark action flick to drool over -
In addition, this PSA came out reminding you to turn in all humans you find!!
According to SciFi.com, Sam Worthington has been cast in the Last Days of American Crime, a film based on yet another comic book. It reminds me a bit of Dollhouse, in the fact the government will find a way to broadcast a signal that prevents anyone from knowingly committing a crime. Interesting concept at least.
Gizmodo reports that R2-D2 is in the Star Trek blu-ray, amongst the wreckage of the fleet of ships Nero destroyed.
Over at Slashfilm, they reported that Idris Elba (The Wire) is joining the cast of Thor. This makes him another one of the proud cast, Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman, Ray Stevenson, and Stewart Townshend. Good lord, it's like Marvel is making real Big Budget films now! Good for them!
Premiere dates for Winter are already coming - Lost is going to premiere February 2nd, Chuck will premiere on January 10th. The next two Doctor Who specials, officially titled "The End of Time" Parts 1&2, will air on Christmas Day in the U.K, December 26th in the U.S., and New Years Day in the U.K., no time in the U.S. yet.
They're making an American Gladiators movie, WHY? Peter Iliff (Patriot Games) is writing. But... still. Why?
According to ComingSoon, Michael Bay is not killing off Megan Fox in Transformers 3, and infact Megan called him up and told him that the whole Hitler comment was just he press siezing on things out of context, and he believes her. So now he's giving her a bigger part in the third film - she couldn't have a lesser role, I don't think.
It would appear that Stephen King's new novel, Under The Dome, is being optioned as a TV mini-series by none other than Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks TV. Head over to Slashfilm for more details.
Jon Favreau has twittered that we may get an Iron Man 2 trailer in front of Sherlock Holmes - I hope so!
The ratings for V dropped another 18%. Yee-gads, that show is going to tank. It's a pity, because I enjoy it, but we'll see if NBC picks it up. The new creator says that he wants to end every episode with a revelation, so that might improve how people digest the series.
That's it for now! Everybody have a great weekend!
