Another ‘Spider-Man’ Broadway Show Actor Injured After Fall

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 10:34 PM PST



It's been a messy and often dangerous ride for those involved in the $65 million Spider-Man Broadway adaptation, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. With many of the action sequences calling for significant stunt work, multiple actors involved in the show have been injured during production and rehearsals.

Now another injury has been added to the list at a performance that took place just a few hours ago. According to various reports, the accident occurred during a sequence toward the end of the production where Spider-Man is trying to save Mary Jane as she hangs from a bridge. Either the actor playing the web-slinging superhero or his stunt double for the show fell about eight to ten feet from a platform into a pit, and equipment being used in the show fell into the audience as a result.

Many in attendance seemed to think that this was all part of the show, but it was soon realized that something was actually wrong when it was announced that the show was delayed and ultimately ended. [...]

Marvel Brings ‘Alias’ Comic to TV With ‘AKA Jessica Jones’

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 03:58 PM PST

Alias

ABC has already revealed plans for a new Incredible Hulk TV show, as well as a Cloak and Dagger series (for ABC Family), and now they have announce the third series planned to run on the network.

The series will be AKA Jessica Jones, based on the Marvel comics series Alias. Alias was written by Brian Michael Bendis and featured art by Michael Gaydos. The show will be written and executive produced by Melissa Rosenberg, screenwriter for the Twilight movies, as well as a former executive producer on Dexter. Joining her as executive producers will be Marvel TV Head Jeph Loeb, Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada, and Marvel Worldwide's Alan Fine. Bendis will help out the show as a consultant, and one can only hope that that he's tasked with writing for the show (unless, we lose him to TV as we lost Brian K. Vaughn to Lost, in which case they should keep him away from the writer's room) [...]

Fan Asks Director David O. Russell To Cast Nathan Fillion In ‘Drake’s Fortune’

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 01:09 PM PST



The fan support of actor Nathan Fillion's desire to play Nathan Drake in the announced movie adaptation of popular video game Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was overwhelming, to say the very least. This support was equally matched by disappointment when it was revealed that director David O. Russell was casting Mark Wahlberg, the star of his latest movie, The Fighter.

Clearly this is something that fans are passionate about, as the first person of what's sure to become many has approached Russell himself about reconsidering his casting choice. The gentleman got close enough to the director at a screening of The Fighter recently to plead his case, though it would appear that said pleas fell on deaf ears. Russell goes along with it cautiously, but as many of us have feared, it seems as if he has absolutely no idea who Nathan Fillion even is...though it is mentioned that his agent has sent him Fillion's DVD audition.

Just In Time For The ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas Special: Gingerbread TARDIS!

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 11:53 AM PST

Doctor Who

When it comes to gingerbread, the only thing I excel at is in eating it. But there are people out there who are incredibly artistic with gingerbread houses and other concepts, and this Gingerbread TARDIS is of no exception.

Based on the time machine used by the Last of the Time Lords in Doctor Who, LiveJournal user therru has created a masterpiece just in time for the Doctor Who Christmas Special. Actually, therru made this Gingerbread TARDIS last Christmas, but decided to share with everyone how to make their own for this Christmas!

The final result is fabulous, and looks amazing. If Tom Baker saw this, he would think it to be "indomitable" and that the only thing missing would be jelly babies.

Be sure to click over to therru's LiveJournal page for the full step-by-step procedure on how to make your own Gingerbread TARDIS - Fantastic! [...]

Marvel Comics To Relaunch ‘Fantastic Four’?

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 09:20 AM PST

FF: A Beginning

Marvel Comics released a teaser image promoting a possible Fantastic Four relaunch. The image promotes a new #1 issue to be released in March 2011, called FF #1: A Beginning.

The current Fantastic Four team of writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Steve Epting will be staying on the book, which is a good thing as they have been doing a great job of it. The series is currently in the middle of the "3" storyline which has promised to change the book in a big way, with one of the main characters set to die. The teaser image seems to tie into that with three hexagons next to each other. Perhaps it's some kind of chemical symbol? (Hickman is a very smart guy, and he has made the Fantastic Four suitably smart.)

I'm sure this image will make more sense once we reach the end of the current storyline, but I'm just happy to see that Hickman and Epting will be remaining on the book for the foreseeable future. I do think it's a little weird for Marvel to reset the numbering on one of their longest-running series, especially given their recent habit of changing the numbering on their series to ignore relaunches (see: Thor, Captain America, and next month when Invincible Iron Man jumps from issue 33 to issue 500) [...]
