Wonder Woman to the big screen - you know, the one in your living room...

Tim sends in an article from Yahoo tv that says in effect that Wonder Woman is still destined for the screen, but it seems its the TV screen now. As tim puts it - "Wonder Woman might return to the small screen (apparently the movie written by Joss Whedon has been tanked)" .... hummm harsh Tim....harsh.

But the core of truth here is that after nearly a decade of attempts to launch a big-screen version, Warner Bros. Television is developing a reboot of the DC comic book heroine and the unlikely person tagged to bring it to the screen nearest you is none other than David E. Kelley. Kelly may potentially write and produce the project.

No actress has been singled out as WW but interest has been expressed from actresses ranging from Angelina Jolie to Megan Fox. We shall see it would seem....

Get Terminated!!!!

To promote their only original sci-fi series, Fox has put up a nifty little site based on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - premiering on Sunday, January 13th at 9 p.m.

The site allows you to upload an image that will then be turned into a Terminator robot and inserted in some of the show's action scenes.

Very cool....

here is the site

(hint, make your photo a head shot, no background, no white either, dpi of 72 and 3x5 inches will make integrating the picture much easier. )

I know...its horrible....but I just had to do it! lmfao!

The Running Man Goes Reality

From SciFi Scanner I read about one of the more unusual fallouts from the WGA strike. As a sci-fi fan, you might think that you, at least, will be spared from the monotony of reality shows.
Well you might have thought that, but it seems that you very well might be wrong! Not knowing how much longer the strike might go on and a real need to fill programming slots, has led the sci-fi channel to consider the inconceivable - a reality show. Matter of fact the world's first sci-fi themed reality show: Run For The Money. Yep, it's The Running Man, without all those inconvenient fatalities. Here are the detail:

Based on a successful Japanese format from Fuji Television, the action takes place over 60 minutes of real time in various landmark locations. As the clock winds down, the competition gets harder as more hunters appear on the streets, the game perimeter gets smaller, and tasks are assigned that test fraying nerves. Contestants earn money for every second they 'stay alive' and may opt out at their choosing. If they keep playing and are overrun by a hunter, they lose everything. The last person standing takes the prize.


Well, lets see - I thought "the Running Man, was a cartoonish joke......I can't say a spin off reality show does much for me.
