Mar 29: Enterprise Crap: Rick Berman just doesn't get it. When he talks about the changes the show needs he sounds like a moron. In the coming season or seasons fans will get nothing new from Enterprise. This guy isn't looking for something fresh. In a recent interview with TrekWeb.com he told the site they are looking at ways to bring in Q, a young Sarek and even Kirk as the Kirk's father or grand father. Is this fresh? We'll even get the Borg at the end of this season and we've already had time-travel. In two-seasons the characters in the series have yet to be defined. You can't feel close or associate to any of them. Enterprise sucks as it is. The changes planned by Rick Berman are wrong and take the series in the wrong direction. 

Mar 29: Potter for Dollars: The second Harry Potter film has joined the original as just one of three films to gross over $600 million on the international box office. The three would be the first two Potter films and the third is Titannic.

Mar 29: Angel: Writer/Producer David Greenwalt tells the Zap2it.com website that Angel has a better than 50/50 chance of returning next season. David, Josh Whedon and others went to Fox and the WB to talk about the series. If renewed, Angel will get completely revamped. The ideas they have could last at least two seasons. 

Mar 29: Batman to Fly Again: In the face of the Superman fiasco, Warner Bros. is moving forward now with its Batman project. How serious is Warner? They've gone out and hired David Goyer to pen a completely new script. Goyer previously said he would no longer pen scripts for anyone other than himself. It is believed this is the talked about Batman: Frightening project.

Mar 26: Smallville: The WB gave the series a one-year renewal, but signed the shows creators Al Gough and Miles Millar a two-year deal to continue working on the show. 

Mar 26: The Job Ain't Enough: In a time when having a quality job is a rare commodity workers at three UK film studios have threatened to walk in one week if they can't secure high wages. Freelance workers including carpenters, painters, plasterers, riggers and stagehands, have given the studios a one-week notice before walking out. This could effect the latest Harry Potter potter film and Troy which are currently in production there.

Mar 25: Sincere Wishes: The hopes and prayers go out for the men and women defending freedom in Iraq. Thank you all. 

Mar 25: Disappointed: I have been extremely disappointed in the Hollywood Scene the past few days I haven't been able to update the site. The uneducated Iraq Sympathizing actors of the movie industry have put a sour taste in my mouth.  But I will be doing an update today. I wish them the worst things in life.

Mar 25: Angel: Despite decent ratings this season the WB failed to renew the series just yet, though they have renewed five others. The decision on Angel will happen in May. 

May 25: Charmed Life: The WB's Smallville and Charmed got the official greenlight for another season. 

May 25: Affleck- More Red: Ben Affleck is set to become Daredevil once more - but is also negotiating to return to the role of Jack Ryan in Red Rabbit. An adaptation of Tom Clancy's novel. 

May 25: Veritas: Gone: ABC has placed the new series Veritas: the Quest on indefinite hiatus, whatever the hell that means. Just say canceled for cryin' out loud. Ratings have been dismal for the unique series. fans of the series can hopefully expect the remaining nine episodes to hit the network this summer. 

Mar 25: Cube TV: the Series: After two low-budget films the Cube franchise seems to be taking the Television series route ala Tremors.  Apparently a new series in the development stages. We lose series like Farscape, Odyssey 5, Invisible Man, and Witchblade - but we get crap like Tremors and a Cube series. Oh... nice, real nice. 

Mar 25: $1.5M worth $110 tip: Jennifer Lopez dropped her six carat $1.5M engagement ring to Ben Affleck down a drain in a ritzy eatery. After freaking out and having the drain dismantled the ring was recovered. Lopez was nice enough to tip the staff $110. Wow, thanks JLO. Imagine wearing $1.5 million on your finger. 

Mar 21: VHS Hears Death-rattle: VHS is a dying breed, doomed to follow the Beta-max format. For the first time DVD rentals passed VHS for the week ending March 16th. DVD's totaled $80 million, while VHS took in another $78 million. Fan recording is the biggest obstacle in the death of VHS. The DVD recorders, Panasonic specifically, has dropped to under $400 online and hit the $499 mark at retailers from the previous $699 price just two-weeks ago. When the price of the units hits under $200 and the media to CD-R prices VHS will fade into the laserdisc and Beta realm. 

Mar 21: Digital Hoo-Haa: George Lucas' demand for digital theaters has pretty much fallen on deaf ears. After declaring that Episode III will be a digital release only, the producer/director might just want to hold off. Only a few theaters in the U.S. upgraded to digital equipment after Lucas's demand. The units have mostly gather dust since Episode II. There are actually very few films released in digital format these days. The digital projection equipment is expensive and it isn't worth the upgrade. If Lucas hold true to his words very few theaters, much less fans, will be taking in the sixth and final installment. 

Mar 20: Optical Printer: Any idea what it is, much less what it's use for? It is one of the most important pieces of film equipment in the industry. It is broadly used today even with the advancements of CGI software. Read about the Optical Printer in the SFX Article section of the website today. 

Mar 20: The Punisher: Old Guy or Young Guy? Does it matter which takes on the role of Frank Castle, aka the Punisher? As long as the film is dark and gritty it could be a great project. (I actually enjoyed the Dolph Lungren version immensely) Currently in the running for the role are two persons. One is a proven action star and the other has already done some quality roles in the action and drama fields. Our proven old timer is none other than Kurt Russell (Stargate, Tango & Cash, Soldier) and the young action gentleman is Thomas Jane (Deep Blue Sea, 61, Dreamcatcher). Thanks to Superherohype.com

Mar 20: Superman: Brett Ratner's option ran out on Mar 15th and the director has pulled out of Superman, along with every main stream actor being sought for the lead role. It's an expensive project that no one really wants to be involved in. Whom ever dons the cape and tights runs a great risk of forever being lock in the role. A very career threatening gig. Plus the contract is for three films over a six-year period. Ratner plans to do Rush Hour 3 instead. However, Jackie Chan has already commented that he will NOT be doing anymore Rush Hour films, ever.

Mar 20: the Peacemaker: Tom Berenger may be joining the USA Network in The Peacemaker as a cop in the old west in 1881. Berenger will play a marshal who helps introduce "modern" crime-fighting techniques -- like fingerprinting -- to the Old West. Peter O'Meara ("Band of Brothers" ) and Clara Jager, who co-starred with Berenger in the Hallmark Channel's "Johnson County War," are also in the cast. Peacemaker will mark USA's third original series with The Dead Zone and Monk. 

Mar 20: Diller Quits: Vivendi Entertainment CEO Barry Diller called it quits today in what some found to be unexpected. Speculation is that his resignation is that oilman billionaire Marvin Davis may be purchasing the company over Viacom. 

Mar 20: Another T2 Disc Coming: Yet another Terminator 2 Special Edition DVD is coming. Fans must have stupid written on their foreheads as companies release three an four versions of the same film. This take on the Disc will include interviews and commentary from James Cameron and supposedly a better looking film which has been restored frame by frame. You just get tired of companies trying to suck a few bucks from you with the same new and improved crap you already have. 

Mar 20: Monk: Fans of the USA Network series MONK will be happy to learn that the network has increased in second season order from 13 to 16 episodes. The extra episodes, USA hopes, will help cover the increased cost of production after moving the series from Canada to Los Angeles. (why you would move from production friendly Canada to Los Angeles is beyond me)

Mar 20: Barbarella: Drew Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen's "Flower Films" has signed a two-year extension first look deal with Sony, which includes Barbarella. (DarkHorizons.com

Mar 19: Farscape Finale: There will be no closure  in the series finale Friday night at 8pm. The series was canceled before a wrap-up telefilm could be done, and then cost negotiations were deemed to much. This is the final time for genre fans of all types of series will have a chance to give Farscape a fan laden good-bye. Watch the Friday night episode and say so long.

Mar 19: Embassy Visual Effects Inc.: There's a new special effect house in Vancouver Canada. Embassy was founded by Winston Helgason, Stephen Pepper, Simon van de Lagemaat and Jim Hebb. Their main objective is to be small to medium sized full-service digital effects house.  The new company has already been contacted by companies and individuals interested in the possible use of their company. Vancouver is currently the television series haven. A perfect place for a visual effects house to be. (vfxpro.com)

Mar 19: Andromeda Slipping: The ratings are beginning to tumble for Andromeda as fans become disgruntled. Changes have been made to increase the ratings only to see them fall. The shows creators and vfx supervisor have been forced out after just three seasons. With a 2.0 ratings the series has fallen from number one to number three in first run syndicated series. 

Mar 19: She Spies Renewed: In a somewhat surprising move the syndicated joint effort between NBC and MGM has been renewed for a second season. She Spies averaged a 2.0 rating this season and repeats see the series earning 1.8 ratings. 

Mar 19: Adventure Inc.: The slow starting, and under advertised series, Adventure Inc. is steadily gaining fans and ratings. With the first season nearly done, ratings are impressive at a 2.1 rating share. That puts the series in the number two spot for first run syndicated series behind Mutant X at 2.4. These ratings look good for another season of Adventure Inc. 

Mar 19: Affleck As Ryan Again: Paramount Pictures is planning to bring back Ben Affleck as Jack Ryan in another Jim Clancy film. The studio has bought the film rights to Clancy's "Red Rabbit". Robert Rodat, who scripted Saving Private Ryan will adapt the book for a mere $2 million. The rights were purchased for as a vehicle for Ben Affleck to return. 

Mar 19: Micronauts: The mego company has sold the feature film and television rights to producer Gale Anne Hurd and Emmett/Furla Films. In the late 70's and early 80's the toy line was a hot commodity earning Mego over $300 million, which is second only to the Star Wars franchise toy line. (moviehole.net)

Mar 15: Superdoom: No one with any sense wants to step into the Superman role. Josh Hartnett has step away, and now Jude Law, Paul Walker along with up & coming Ashton Kutcher. None of them want their careers locked up being known as Superman. Especially when the deal is a six year, three film commitment. This problem is causing some unrest between Brett Ratner and Jon Peters. Amazing when no one wants a lead role in a $200 million dollar bust film. Can you say Ishtar? I knew ya could.

Mar 15: DVD Recording Prices: Prices are dropping drastically on the Panasonic DVD recorders. The E30's have dropped from $699 to as low as $449 at retail stores like Costco ($449) and Fry's Electronics ($499). Time to get yours today.

Mar 15: Catwoman: Well, Halle Berry appears set to play Catwoman in Warner Bros. feature. It was great with Kidman being courted for the role, but this isn't the greatest news. Filming should be set for later this year. 

Mar 15: Foundation Trilogy: Core scribe John Rogers has finished the screenplay for the feature film based on the Isaac Asimov trilogy, "Foundation". 

Mar 15: MIB III: Will Smith & Tommy Lee Jones have pitched an idea to director Barry Sonnenfeld for a Men In Black III sequel and Paramount is will to let the director run with it and for Walter Parks to take a back seat on the project. The two don't get along. Smith and Jones will NOT do the film without Sonnenfeld. 

Mar 15: Thank You & Fuck You Very Much: A special thanks to The Sci-Fi Channel for bringing us the incredible television series Farscape. A show that is truly one of the best written, directed and produced shows in television genre history. And a horribly huge and monsterous FUCK YOU to the same dipshit, narrowminded, ass-wad network known to many as the Sci-Suk Channel, for canceling the same series that set the new standard for genre television. FARSCAPE ends its four year run next Friday night at 8pm. It is my hope that all genre fans will tune in that night and give this wonderful series a heart-felt good-bye. A series that will truly be missed. A special thanks to the actors, special effects guru's, writers and working stiffs that made it all happen. :)

Mar 13: Werewolf: Remember the half-hour series Werewolf? There are many people looking for the series today. Well, Sony has the rights and are interested in releasing the entire series to DVD. But you have to let Sony know you want it by taking their poll. CLICK HERE for the SONY POLL . Take the poll today. Make sure you also select the seasonal boxed sets. 

Mar 13: Fantasy Island DVD?: Want Sony to release Fantasy Island to DVD? let them know in the same poll when you pick your top five series. I picked Werewolf and Fantasy Island twice. Sorry but my fifth vote was for... T.J. Hooker. Nothing better than James T. Kirk in a cops uniform. Click Here for the Sony Poll. Also select seasonal boxed sets. 

Mar 13: Riddick to Film Soon: Production on the trilogy is set to begin in Vancouver B.C. in just two weeks. Diesel will be using soft contacts in this set rather than the hard contacts used in the first film. 

Mar 13: Selleck Out: Tom Selleck (Magnum PI, Three Men and a Baby) was slated to do a four episode stint on Third Watch, but backed out due to a commitment on a new pilot for NBC. Stepping into the four episode stint will be actor Tom Berenger (major league, Sniper, the Substitute, Shattered). 

Mar 12: Black Lagoon: The Creature From the Black Lagoon is getting remake. Imagine that.  The rewrite will be done by Tedi Sarafin. Gary Ross will produce. Sarafin is also noted for writing a draft for the upcoming Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. 

Mar 12: The Gargoyle: Sony owned Columbia Pictures has pulled up the film rights to Marvel's "Gargoyle" - the leathery orange winged character.  Jonathan Hales will script the feature. Hales wrote the Scorpion King and even co-wrote Attack of the Clones. The character on the big screen will have very little to do with the comic book character. (cinescape online)  Where the hell is Marvels... the Avengers, the West Coast Avenger, the Inhumans and others? 

Mar 12: Superman: Who would fans want to don the tights and cape of Superman among this great slinging of names being thrown about? It isn't a name we've heard any studio people mention that's for sure.  Think about it. DEAN CAIN was a great small screen Clark Kent/Superman. the fans actually think so too. Dean Cain has taken 49% of the poll at Zap2It.com. Other actors who have been mention for the role, Paul Walker 14%, Jude Law 13%, and Victor Webster 9%. These are the closest runners to Cain. I think Dean Cain is an excellent choice for Superman. Zap2It.com is re-launching the poll. Cast your vote today. (As of Today, Cain is taking 65% of the voting, with Tom Welling a distant second at 28%.

Mar 12: Another Creator Gets Fucked: It has got to be hard getting canned from a series you created. Another one bites the dust as Larry Wilmore, creator of "The Bernie Mac Show", as Fox has dumped him from the series. He creates and Bernie Mac takes it over. How pathetic is that. 

Mar 12: Banderas Turns into a Phantom: Antonio Banderas is out. Director Joel Schumaker told the Chicago Sun Times The Banderas is not attached to the film. Banderas becomes the Phantom that was, NOT. 

Mar 12: Fearless: Rachel Leigh Cook (SHE'S ALL THAT) will make her television debut on FEARLESS from Jerry Bruckheimer. The show follows a young woman (Cook) born without the gene that causes fear. She is recruited by the FBI to work undercover youth-oriented crimes in the Y-Unit. (Scott Strout)

Mar 12: the Mummy 3: Fans would at first be excited that a third mummy film is in the works rights. Are you just as excited when you hear that Brendan Fraser is not in the film? We already knew that Rachel Weisz want out and that's fine. But when you take Fraser from the mix is the film worth seeing. It looks like they are putting the planning to move the Mummy to more contemporary times in the 1950's or 60's. I surely not as interested. 

Mar 12: Nemesis DVD: The DVD will include seven cut scenes that amount to about 45 minutes of footage. Hey, buy the disc and put the footage back in. 

Mar 12: NCI: NAVAL CRIME INVESTIGATION: The New JAG spin-off series has cast its lead in Mark Harmon. Harmon's character will be debuted in an upcoming episode of JAG.

Mar 11: Angel: The WB is going to have a hard time canceling Angel this year. Angel scored its highest ratings since the November sweeps earning a 3.7/5 share this week. 

Mar 11: Beastmaster: Beside nabbing the film rights to Mutant X last week, ADV Film has landed another Tribune series, the Beastmaster. Fans will not be getting boxed sets of Mutant X and Beastmaster. ADV is not release the volume dates, but hopes to hit the shelves with them soon. Like the mistake with Andromeda, they will be not be releasing the series in seasonal boxed sets. Beastmaster will begin hitting retail stores in 2003. 

Mar 11: UPN Being Pulled: UPN has is starting to be pulled off the air in various places across the nation. In an email from a reader in South Padre Island Texas, Time Warner there has already pulled the channel. When fans tune in all they get is a message saying "UPN IS OFF THE AIR". (Thanks to the Sporlock in Texas) 

Mar 11: The Right Stuff: This movie was like a mini-series and it was awesome. Look for the two-disc "The Right Stuff: Special Edition" DVD this summer with lots of extras. 

Mar 11: Sci-Fi For Sale: The Sci-Fi Channel and its Parent company, USA Network, are apparently for sale. The French media conglomerate Vivendi Universal is strapped for cash and wants to sell its US based companies, which include the SFC, USA Network, Universal Studios, Universal Theme Parks and Television Company. Viacom, which owns CBS, Paramount, and UPN are the likely candidate. There is also some interest from MGM and General Electric. AND... some friggin oil billionaire named Marvin Davis is interested and acquiring Vivendi. He has made an offer of $20 billion for the business. Hope Vivendi goes bankrupt. 

Mar 11: More UPN Trouble?: If Viacom should make the purchase of USA network and the Sci-Fi Channel, what would happen to UPN? It could become the odd network out, since Paramount and Vivendi have been looking into a science fiction channel. Would it be such a big loss? 

Mar 8: Stepford Men: Actor John Cusack is negotiating to co-star with Nicole Kidman in the Paramount Pictures remake of the "Stepford Wives". Hollywood Reporter. 

Mar 8: Jim Finn Interview: The new interview with VFX Supervisor for Andromeda and John Doe, Jim Finn has started. If you want to know about the business and his thought you will love the interview when it's posted. Look for it here soon. 

Mar 8: Tudyk Turns Robot: Alan Tudyk, who played on the Fox series Firefly, has signed on to the I Robot project and will play an animated robot for director Alex Proyas. For me Tudyk is most remember for his awesome acting job in "A Knights Tale". He was awesome.

Mar 7: UPN in Trouble: The UPN network, owned by CBS, has huge monetary problems which may make it difficult to renew it affiliate deal with Fox Television Stations Group. FTSG says that UPN owes them $108 million dollars due to breach of contract. It concerns special breaks issued to Chris Craft that Fox feels they should have received as well. Whether a legit complaint or not, it is an indicator of what negotiations will be like to extend UPN's current deal with Fox. Without the deal UPN is done.

Mar 7: No Shit Sherlock: New Line Cinema will be rehashing Sherlock Holmes in a new updated venue titled Holmes & Watson. The film will center on the descendants of the legendary sleuth and his sidekick, Dr. Watson, and will be set in modern-day London.

Mar 5: Mutant X on DVD: ADV Films have purchased the home-video and DVD rights to the syndicated TV series Mutant X. No release date is set, but ADV Films wants the set released as soon as possible. They also own the rights to Tribune's Andromeda. Unfortunately we may not get seasonal boxed sets for Mutant X. Andromeda was released in episode sets rather than seasonal boxed sets. 

Mar 5: Riverworld: Right behind Children of Dune comes the Sci-Fi Channel's two-hour telefilm, Riverworld. A TV Movie based on the novels by Philip Jose' Farmer. Riverwold stars Brad Johnson, Emily Lloyd, Cameron Daddo, Jonathan Cake, Kevin Smith in one of his final roles. 

Mar 5: Lois Lane Call It Quits: Teri Hatcher, who played Lois Lane in the television series Lois & Clark, has filed for Divorce from actor/hubby on nine years - Jon Tenney. Hatcher currently does the Radio Shack commercials with TV pretend hubby Howie Long. 

Mar 5: Enterprise Changing: UPN has had enough of the Rick Berman Enterprise. They aren't canceling the series but there will be more changes next season. In an effort to bring in more viewers, and at least bring the trekkers back UPN will make the series more epic. Enterprise will change directions that better exploit the sense of awe and danger for the crew. It's still Berman and Braga... the series is in trouble. 

Mar 5: Hobbit TV Series: Ian McKellen, who plays Gandalf, has asked Peter Jackson if he would produce a year long television series around the Hobbit. McKellen feels the story would best be told this way to cover all the different strands to the story. (Time Europe)

Mar 5: Superman: Man, don't you get tired of the hype for Superman? The franchise has had two huge flops (worse than any of the Batman movies). Who really cares, who wears the cape if the film sucks. Just pick a friggin actor and get the project going. We've gone from it being a non-body to now being a familiar name. Do the damn movie.

Mar 5: Deathlok: Comics2Film.com is reporting that Marvel's cyborg soldier could be Marvel's first big project with Paramount Pictures. The script has been penned by Retzner and Stu Zicherman, who are both newcomers. Kevin Feige of Marvel tells that the script is "A Great Draft". Deathlok is targeted for a summer 2004 release. I have read the comic from Marvel. It's... not exactly what I would call a Marvel classic and would be expensive to do well. How much is Paramount ready to sink into this second tier product? 

Mar 5: Hellboy Is On: Production has begun in Prague on Guillermo Del Toro's Hellboy project. Don't forget that special effects master Rick Baker is working on the project as well. Ron Perlman, starring as Hellboy, has spent a lot of time doing B movies, but the actor gets around in the good stuff too. He starred as Vincent in the television series Beauty and the Beast (done by Rick Baker), Blade II, was outstanding in Alien Resurrection. He was wonderful in the Sean Connery drama, The Name of the Rose. Hellboy is slated for a 2004 release. 

Mar 5: Incredible Hulk: Universal Pictures is expecting a huge box office for the upcoming Hulk feature. While the effects look incredible for the final product we will get to see, I find it hard to believe the film will be a Spiderman or X-Man juggernaut. The Hulk will be... fortunate to do as well as Daredevil at the box office. 

Mar 4: Olmos Galactica: Edward James Olmos  will step into the role of Commander Adama in the four-hour back-door pilot mini-series. Along with Olmos is Oscar nominee Mary McDonnell as President Laura Roslin. Michael Rymer, who directed the pathetic Queen of the Damned, will helm the four-hour mini-series.

Kathy Wuhrer also has a part on one of the direct to video features. (Clint Morris moviehole.net)

Mar 4: Tomb of Doom 3?: Could there be a third Laura Croft: Tomb Raider feature? If the filmis successful Anjolina Jolie is up for doing it. (My Frequency)

Mar 4: Alias After Some Men: ABC believes it has a secret weapon in Sydney Bristow, the sexy double
agent of "Alias." But the Sunday night drama hasn't been able to penetrate TV's top 25 tier of shows, despite kudos from critics and a cult-like following. As a result, ABC is planning to throw more money at the program in an unusual marketing blitz. Coming soon: "Alias" DVDs, comic books, action figures, trading cards, video games and even a new cell phone ring tone, all designed to attract more young men to complement a core audience of young women. "Shows like these are hard to find," said Susan Lyne, entertainment president of ABC, a unit of Walt Disney Co. "We'd rather put more time and energy into
building this show than take a risk on four others that we might put in that time slot and cross our fingers." Meanwhile, ABC's two stalwart dramas are nearing retirement. "NYPD Blue" is expected to run one more year, and "The Practice" might not last the summer. Four new dramas that ABC rolled out in September were yanked off the air by November. (Ron Wolfe)

Mar 4: More C.S.I.: How much can you beat a great horse until you kill all of it? CBS wants to find out. Idiot President and CEO Leslie Moonves is interested in another CSI spin-off or two. He is interested in one set in New Orleans and maybe another favoring a CSI/JAG style setting. Never the less, the idea is ridiculous and the actors of the two current series don't like it. 

Mar 2: UPN Makes It Final: UPN has FINALLY made the Buffy cancellation official. This will allow Sarah Michelle Gellar to work on her practically non-existent feature film career - if you can call playing Daphne in Scooby Doo a film career. Buffy, the Vampire Slayers wraps up with seven seasons and 144 episodes. Creator Josh Whedon is down to just one series, in Angel - which is currently teetering on cancellation on the WB. 

Mar 2: Internet Speeds - Viper Style: The new system, which can zip music files between computers and let laptop users surf the Web from coffee shops at never-before -seen speeds, is actually too fast for average users, since the Internet suffers from other bottlenecks, but that does not slow down enthusiasts. Called Wireless G, the new networking system is the latest version of the popular WiFi standard that already powers most wireless networks in homes, coffee shops and airport lounges. The new version works with the older one, costs about 50 percent more, and is five times as fast -- a blazing increase. However, that makes it about 50 times faster than most cable Internet connections, a level of speed that is irrelevant for most user many users, at least for now. Linksys, a leading WiFi seller, believes the faster technology offers a degree of insurance against as-yet unavailable applications with high demands, said Allen Huotari, director of research and development.
