Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Rumors,
Although Kristen Bell has a slate of upcoming films she’ll have to promote, the actress is still talking about an old project: Veronica Mars.
Earlier this year, creator Rob Thomas told Entertainment Weekly that a big screen version of the TV show was still a possibility. Five months later, the program’s star is still trying to keep that dream alive.

Watchmen Review
Posted by Todd Matthy Categories: Movies, Reviews, DC Comics,
Since its trailer debuted with “The Dark Knight” we have all been waiting patiently for the big screen adaptation of the greatest graphic novel of all time. So, does it live up to its hype? When I first read Watchmen over the summer before my junior year of high school, I thought it was very cinematic and would translate well into a film. Obviously edits would have to be made, but still in the right hands it would be good. Zack Snyder is the right hand. Snyder’s adaptation is extremely faithful to the source material, some might say too faithful at times. Some scenes are lifted directly from the comic book, while others, though faithful, have some modifications. But I’ll get to those later.

If you’ve found yourself without a plan on this Labor Day Weekend, there’s a new way to keep yourself busy online.
Earlier this week, viewers of the old WB were given a free way to watch some of their now-cancelled shows. At TheWB.com, fans can access programs just like they would on any other network-sponsored site. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Smallville, Angel, Everwood, Roswell, One Tree Hill and Gilmore Girls are amongst the selections offered.
Meanwhile, other shows that didn’t originate on the WB (but were produced by Warner Bros.) are also included on the site. That list is comprised of such titles as Friends, The O.C., Veronica Mars, Babylon 5 and Firefly.
Although the number of episodes are currently limited, fresh hours will be posted weekly.

Akira to Get Live-Action Spin
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Period, Upcoming Releases,
Anime fans are in luck. Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira, will be the next graphic novel to get a live-action treatment.
Warner Bros. has plans to turn the classic manga - which had been released in six volumes - into two films. The first of which is scheduled to be released in 2009. Leonardo DiCaprio will serve as one of the series’ producers.
Although the original storyline was based in a post-nuclear “New Tokyo”, this updated version will be set in “New Manhattan”. The city was rebuilt with Japanese money after being destroyed decades earlier.
Otomo, the man who also directed the 1988 animated adaptation, will be on board as executive producer for the two installments.
Casting has not been announced for the projects.
