HBO Developing Potential Series Based On Neil Gaiman’s ‘American Gods’

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 04:37 PM PDT



Now that Showtime and Starz are really establishing themselves in the original series department, HBO is on a mission to remain the king of that domain. They saw the potential for TV without restriction a long time ago -- which is constantly proving to be better than almost all other content you'll find on the regular channels -- and now they just need to keep finding the biggest and best properties to turn into the next big thing.

Top titles HBO produces include True Blood and Boardwalk Empire, and they're next sure hit, Game of Thrones, begins this Sunday. So where do they go next? Somewhere strange and unique and unlike anything we've ever seen...that's where.

It's being reported that HBO is now developing a potential new series based on geek god and author Neil Gaiman's acclaimed New York Times bestseller, American Gods. Nothing is etched in stone yet, but anyone who's read the book will surely agree that if this happens it would be a wild ride indeed. [...]

The first trailer we saw for Cowboys & Aliens, the new comic book movie from Iron Man director Jon Favreau, was pretty impressive and had most buzzing with excitement for the flick.

That was just a taste. Universal Pictures has now released the new theatrical trailer for the movie and...wow. There's a lot of big movies coming out this summer, but you would not be out of line to say that this looks like one of the most fun and exciting titles on the way.

The movie stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Clancy Brown, and Paul Dano, and it's written by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Damon Lindelof.

You can read a detailed synopsis and check out the trailer below right now. Cowboys & Aliens will hit theaters on July 29, 2011.

Remembering Joey Ramone: 10 Years Gone

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 09:30 AM PDT

Joey Ramone

Today marks a decade since the death of an icon from the most infamous genre in music history -- 10 years ago today, The Ramones lead singer and punk rock legend Joey Ramone passed away.

The punk scene exploded into life in the late 1970s and Joey Ramone was key to this underground music scene gaining global popularity and notoriety. The UK had Johnny Rotten, the sneering, snarling, spitting hurricane of anger and energy. But in the U.S., Joey Ramone controlled the stage and his audience with a more laid-back attitude, which although appearing less volatile, called out to a generation as loud as any of his contemporaries -- of which there were very few. The band never achieved the commercial success that bands like the Sex Pistols and The Clash did, but The Ramones are often regarded as one of the most influential bands in both punk and rock, thanks in no small part to their iconic front man [...]

Blu-ray Review: Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 Blu-ray

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 1
Blu-ray Combo | DVD | On Demand
Directed by David Yates
Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint
Warner Home Video
Release date: April 15, 2011

The tale of the wizard Harry Potter and his struggle against the evil Lord Voldemort has nearly reached its end in Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 1, the first of a two-part finale for the film franchise. The Harry Potter movies have come a long way in the 10 years since the first offering, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, when Harry was just a little boy and Voldemort was merely a named to be feared and never spoken. As Harry and his loyal friends grew older, the franchise got darker, with this latest one being the darkest and most frightening one of all.

Voldemort's (Ralph Fiennes) power has grown strong and, as always, his one focus in life is to kill Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), the boy who lived, the Chosen One, the one destined to bring about his downfall. Thanks to his friends and powerful allies, Harry has managed to either stay hidden from the dark lord or escape his clutches whenever they've battled. But unlike the previous installments, in The Deathly Hallows: Part 1, the wizard world itself has grown dark, too. Voldemort's Death Eaters and other minions and loyal subjects have taken over the government with a mission to rule over the Muggle -- non-magical -- world and subjugate all Muggles and Muggle-born wizards and witches. No one is safe under this regime, so Harry and his friends Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) are forced to go underground on their own while searching for the hidden Horcruxes, the magical artifacts that house pieces of Voldemort's soul that the trio must figure out how to destroy [...]
