Poltergeist remake has been confirmed, we repeat – CONFIRMED.

Almost exactly a year ago, the guys at Bloody Disgusting posted news about a possible Poltergeist remake, but nothing was official and so they just got a bit laughed at. But they were persistent and they continued to claim that the remake is for real, even after Spielberg denied it. This time, they seem to have confirmation that the 1982 horror classic is going to be resurrected. It’s going to be a post-strike movie, under production at MGM (which Bloody Disgusting reported amidst the rumours long ago).

BD doesn’t have any concrete proof, however, including no official announcement. They are “100% certain”, but I’d like to see some hard proof. Bloody Disgusting has informed us to wait for 2008 for more news. Yeah, I’ll just go drink coffee.

Dragonball Z Live Action Movie

[UPDATE]

Dragon Ball Z makeup tests have been found. See this post for more details.

—————–

Back in September we reported that a Dragonball Z film was in the works. Word has just spread that Justin Chatwin is set to play Goku! Hopefully you liked him in War of the Worlds because he is either going to break or make this movie.

Justin Chatwin

James Marsters is going to play Piccolo and James Wong is set to direct this film.

I’m sure we’ll see some good action sequences, but will the story make the film worthwhile? Is this movie for the fans or for mainstream audiences? Will we see a lot of tall hair styles? These questions go unanswered for now…

Stagecoach Island = WTF

There’s no other way to describe a game created by a bank other than WTF?! Honestly, I don’t have anything to say on this subject. If you want advertising by a bank in your game go enjoy Stagecoach Island, a realistic MMO game where you play a character as if you’re living in the real world.

Yes you don’t live and enjoy the real world so go create another life in Stagecoach Island – unless you have already created a new life in Second Life. If that’s the case create a third life in Stagecoach Island – unless you have already created a new life in Naughty America: The Game. If that’s the case, StuffWeLike.com does not want you to visit this website again.

Stagecoach Island

WTF??????????

Spock’s Back, but this time it’s PERSONAL!

Spock 2008

Yes that’s right I’ve created a new word. It suits this new Star Trek film as it’s a prequel to the series. Keeping that in mind, the new/younger Spock looks pretty damn good.

Even with the Hollywood strike, production on the new Star Trek film goes on! JFX Online has got exclusive set pictures as well as the first images of Zarchary Quinto all dressed up as Spock.

This is only the beginning folks of tons of coverage of what will hopefully be a great film.

360 Family Timer and Downloadable Games

This December, Microsoft is set to release a new update for the Xbox 360 over Xbox Live.

One of the things included in this update will be a timer for the Xbox. With this timer, the person in charge of the Xbox will be able to set a certain number of hours that the Xbox can be used on a daily or weekly basis. Personally, I think this is a great idea as we may have finally found a way to limit all of those bad-mouthed kids that find their way on to Xbox Live while I’m playing Halo 3. Also, I may end up with some better grades.

Additionally, Xbox 360 owners will be able to fully download original Xbox games over Live in a similar fashion to the Virtual Console on both the Wii and the Playstation 3 for $15 each. Hopefully with this, they will release some of the previously Japanese-only games as they are doing with some of the other consoles. Some of the first games that will be available are Halo, Fable, Crimson Skies, and Burnout 3.

Lost Minisodes Are HERE

ABC has answered the call of LOST fans by giving them mini-episodes that can be found on ABC’s website! New episodes air every Monday. These 2-3 minute episodes are brand-new footage with the regular cast of Lost. They are NOT deleted scenes.

Hopefully watching these episodes will be worthwhile, but ultimately I can’t imagine that they will be. ABC doesn’t want to split up its fanbase by having some people know some new fact while other fans don’t because they didn’t watch the online episodes.

At the same time the episodes will hopefully feed the fire that Lost fans have for knowing what will happen next when the new season begins in 2008.
