| Rejoice! Mark Wahlberg Might NOT Be Nathan Drake In ‘Uncharted’ Movie Posted: 28 Dec 2010 07:37 PM PST  It's been a wild roller coaster ride since it was announced that a movie based on the popular video game Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was being made. There's been ups like knowing a movie was coming and hearing fan-favorite Nathan Fillion wanted the lead role, and there's been downs like finding out that Mark Wahlberg had seemingly been cast instead and that there would new characters added inexplicably. Fans have been making their voices heard -- even to the point of approaching director David O. Russell and pleading their case for Fillion -- and now those fans will be happy to discover that certain things regarding the movie might not be quite as set in stone as it was feared. In an interview with Joystiq, Justin Richmond, the director of the brand new installment in the video game series, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, spoke about the rumors that have been circulating about the movie.

| DIY: ‘Star Wars’ X-Wing & TIE Fighter Paper Snowflakes Posted: 28 Dec 2010 05:55 PM PST  Earlier this month, we wrote about some really cool Star Wars-themed paper snowflakes, for which the creator was nice enough to include instructions and templates. After seeing those snowflake designs -- one for Darth Vader, the other a Boba Fett/Clone Troopers combo -- someone else came up with the idea to make other Star Wars-themed paper snowflakes, this time for a Tie Advanced x1 Starfighter and an X-Wing Starfighter. Check out the image at right (click for larger, full view) of several paper snowflakes that were created. If you look closely, you'll see how intricate they are, especially the X-Wing version, which has more than just the ship, but also the Rebel Alliance insignia as well as R2-D2 and C-3PO! [...]      |

Brian Michael Bendis, Mark Millar, Leinil Yu, and Mark Bagley are crafting The Death of Spider-Man, a new event spanning Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate Avengers vs. New Ultimates series. This new story has been previously announced, but today Marvel added that the entire story will be made available day and date digitally on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch with the print copies.

| Trailer For Steven Spielberg-Produced Sci-Fi TV Series ‘Falling Skies’ Released Posted: 28 Dec 2010 01:00 PM PST  The first trailer for the new TNT alien invasion TV series, Falling Skies, has been released online. The show is executive produced by none other than Steven Spielberg, and tells the story of human survivors banding together after a devastating alien attack on our planet. Nothing is the same or ever will be again, but these survivors need to find a way to work together and learn the weaknesses of the invading species so that they may fight back and rebuild civilization. The show certainly looks like it could be a hybrid of Skyline and Spielberg's War of the Worlds remake, but fans of sci-fi may be interested in giving it a try when Falling Skies arrives in June of 2011. You can read a lengthy synopsis and see the trailer for yourself by clicking over now, and you can also read a companion web comic by heading over to TNT's website. [...]      |
