Doctor Who writers to pen new Sherlock

July 13, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

File this under “Ooh; looks interesting”. The BBC are gearing up for three new, 90-minute, Sherlock Holmes films. This new Sherlock mini-series was co-crated by Steven Moffat (in charge of the Matt Smith season of Doctor Who) and Mark Gatiss (who played Doctor Lazarus for the Tenth Doctor and who wrote Victory of the Daleks). […]

Gambon, who is probably best known for playing Harry Potter’s Professor Albus Dumbledore, will appear alongside Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins. She seems pleased, Jenkin’s told the press; I’m over the moon to be involved in […]

Manga for sale – all of it – the whole company

July 9, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Variety are reporting that Starz wants out of movies. This means that Starz Media is for sale. Starz owns Overture, Anchor Bay Entertainment, Film Roman and Starz Animation. They also own Manga. Starz also has stakes in companies like POW! ENtertainment (That’s Stan Lee’s company) and Archie Comics as well as been part of funding […]

Lisa Foiles launches Everday Achievements (hey @darthchix0r)

July 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

… and it’s good. In this episode Lisa unlocks the “Less important than cheerios” badge. However, don’t think this is an Xbox bias web series. Our video star keeps her PS3 in the limelight too. We’ve just got 5 minutes of Everday Achievements. That’s about right for YouTube but hard to really judge. First indications […]

Kill Bill spoof? Absolut presents Ali Larter in Lemon Drop

July 2, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We know Ali Larter from Heroes. You might even know her from Resident Evil: Extinction 9. If you’re tapped into the news pulse you’ll also know she’s going to feature in Resident Evil: Afterlife. She’s also in a Kill Bill spoof. Well. Kinda! In the States, Absolut Vodka are running a short film as an […]

Matt Smith versus David Tennant – 5 million versus 8 million

June 28, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 7 Comments

Deep in some story on the BBC about men in shorts kicking balls are some handy Doctor Who viewing stats. Amid the excitement in South Africa, the final episode in the current series of Doctor Who had only moderate success. Saturday’s series finale was seen by an average of 5.1 million people – down on […]

Will the Yeti make a return for the Doctor Who Christmas special?

June 26, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Peter McKinstry is an artist and concept designer who’s worked on Doctor Who since new Who series 2, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures. On his website he’s published a new concept art image. It looks rather impressive. What’s more – the concept art has sparked speculation. Could this be a Yeti? The Yeti were […]

Dr Who: The Big Bang videos

June 26, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Big Bang is the series finale of the fifth season of the new Doctor Who. It follows on from The Pandorica Opens. A word to the not-so-wise. If you’ve not seen the drama up to the end of the season then these videos could contain spoilers for you. It seems like the Doctor is […]

First photo from the new Primeval

June 26, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Primeval isn’t exactly dead. Normally we’re used to the Americans making a great show, exporting it to the UK, getting us hooked – only for the US audience to fall away and the network cancel it. You know; The Sarah Connor Chronicles and the slow to start but great towards the end Dollhouse spring to […]

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: Daleks

June 21, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Sometimes you can take one add one and reach a grand total of three. For example; let’s just say you can mash The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with Doctor Who. In fact, let’s mash The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with Daleks. Yes. That would be awesome – and it is. This is a […]
