Spaceballs - The Animated Series

I was just reading an interview with the brilliant Mel Brooks about the up and coming Get Smart movie and he mentioned a new project he's involved with, Spaceballs The Animated Series. Mel will be the script director and will also provide the voices for the two characters he played in the original Spaceballs movie, President Skroob and Yogurt.

It will exclusively air on G4 TV, the same channel that showed the excellent Code Monkeys animation series last year.

Bale signs for Terminator trilogy

An untested production company (Halcyon) has secured Christian Bale's signature for a new trilogy of Terminator films and the coveted rights to the entire estate of Philip K Dick.

He did say he would be back, but whether he can combine being the 38th governor of California and a relentless killing machine is another question. What is certain is that Terminator is back for another three outings.

Producers behind the next trilogy are in Cannes to discuss the return of one of the most successful ever science fiction franchises.

Production began three weeks ago with Christian Bale starring as John Connor, fighting to save humanity against the machines.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull gets released to the general public tonight (well, its tomorrow morning really) at 12:01am. Need I say anymore?

I'm watching it Friday and can't wait to see it (if you hadn't noticed)!

Hot Fuzz stars to be reunited

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are going to star in another film together.

The pair have already had massive hits with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, and are now working on a new project called Paul.

Simon told Newsbeat: "It's a road movie about two British geeks called Graham and Clive who travel across America with a passenger.

"It's very funny. I'm perhaps the most pleased with it of anything I've ever done. It's going to be good."

They're due to start shooting it towards the end of this year.

VHS Video Covers

Oh wow, my good friend Mike emailed me a link today for this great site full with loads of awesome VHS covers from yesteryear.

I'll admit I've been suckered many-many-many times into renting crap and totally bizarre films purely based on the box art.

Take a trip down memory lane and check out this site.

Good find!
