Exclusive: Script review of Steven Spielberg's untitled alien invasion TV pilot
In May 2009 the news broke that Steven Spielberg was collaborating again with the screenwriter of Saving Private Ryan, Robert Rodat, on a television pilot for TNT. As is the case for most of the concepts that attract Spielberg, this one was high concept: what would life be like for a group of survivors-turned-fighters in the aftermath of an all-out alien invasion of Earth? Now, nearly one year after the first announcement of this project Coming Attractions gives you the first look at what this still-untitled alien invasion pilot is shaping up to look like.
Add a comment (3)Magnet has Monsters
One of the bits of cool news to emerge from this year's South By Southwest is the pick-up of Monsters, a feature length mockumentary that is part Cloverfield, part District 9. Written and directed by Gareth Edwards, the movie takes place in 2016 and shows us a southern United States/upper Mexico where giant monsters from outer space have now taken over the land. Forget monitoring for illegal aliens, now the border patrol has a bigger problem to worry about.

Now that she has the highest-grossing movie of all-time in her acting resume, Sigourney Weaver has decided to task herself to another challenge: playing her first vampire. Put a different way, this 60-year-old is going to sink her teeth into a new role.

Another Battlestar spinoff? Could be.
Syfy, the channel that refuses to acknowledge that having two y's in your four letter name is anything but cool, continues to work hard on mining its best property, the 21st century's version of Battlestar Galactica. With Caprica on the air and indications that it could be renewed, the cable channel revealed that it's in the early stages of developing another spinoff from the BSG universe, one that will return the writer that got the ball rolling again for the franchise.

Directing is James Bobin, the Flight of the Conchords co-creator and director of all the episodes in the much-loved HBO series. Nicholas Stoller co-wrote the muppet screenplay with Segel too, making the actor a pretty important guy in the shaping of this film.
A start date for Kermit and the gang's roll call on set hasn't been revealed yet but one could assume that with the announcement of Segel in the primary human role, that will happen in the late spring or summer.

Ever since his film career started to take off after Seven (since Alien 3 didn't really do it) David Fincher has attached himself to a number of movie projects throughout his career. Indeed, some have said that just having Fincher attached to a movie likely means that he won't make it. For instance, in the mid 1990s Fincher had been attached to make a movie from Torso, based on the graphic novel by Brian Michael Bendis. No, you didn't miss the release of Torso -- it still hasn't been made yet.

Peter Graves, star of Mission: Impossible, dead at 83
Throughout his six decades as a working actor Peter Graves became known to three different generations. When he began his career in the early 1950s, Graves became a leading man, a square-jawed hero. That image gave him the job serving as the agency director when ABC launched its spy adventure series Mission: Impossible. Graves' role as Jim Phelps, the no-nonsense commander that assigned agents missions on tape that would soon self-destruct, became the defining role of his career.

Review: Green Zone
With ads showing Matt Damon running around with an automatic rifle, Green Zone appears to be a more military version of the last two Jason Bourne movies. The thing of it is, Green Zone has the elements of The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum we liked, including the often distracting shakeycam tendency Paul Greengrass likes to use, but it can't decide if it wants to go full tilt and be an all-out action movie or a political thriller. The result is that the picture ends up being neither.

Exclusive: Script review of Abduction
No one that remotely follows the pulse and flow of Hollywood can doubt that Taylor Lautner is poised on the brink of stardom. After finding himself playing the wolfy Jacob Black in two Twilight movies, Lautner is poised to graduate to toplining his own solo projects. His agents have been busy cashing in on his Twilight heat by first attaching him to play Paramount's Max Steel, then losing interest in favor of Hasbro and Universal's Stretch Armstrong project.

In what's likely to be the biggest scoop of the month, Geoff Boucher for The Los Angeles Times' Hero Complex geek blog interviews Batman Begins/Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan about what's true and what's not true. Boucher does it too, and gets Nolan to not just confirm the filmmaker's involvement as a creative "godfather" for the new Superman picture, but reveal the status of the next Batman movie.

Galactica: Sabotage
Take the classic Beastie Boys music video/song "Sabotage" and pay an homage to it using nothing but footage from five seasons of Battlestar Galactica. Think it can't be done? Think again 'cuz katamaran78 nailed it right down to using Fat Apollo.
