| Season 2 Of ‘Game Of Thrones’ Adds A Pyromancer In Roy Dotrice; Other Roles Cast As Well Posted: 08 Aug 2011 10:07 PM PDT  HBO has been busy casting various roles for season 2 of their hit fantasy series, Game of Thrones. First came word that Stannis Baratheon, Davos Seaworth, and Melisandre had all been cast, and now a few more new faces have come to surface for the season 2 team. The most notable of them all is the casting of Roy Dotrice, who has joined the cast and will be playing Pyromancer Hallyne, chief of the Guild of Alchemists. Dotrice was actually originally cast in the role of Grand Maester Pycelle (Julian Glover), but had to withdraw for health reasons. Dotrice is already a well–known talent in the world of author George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series—the actor provided a voice to most of the audio book recordings that were produced, excluding A Feast for Crows. It doesn't end there, however, as quite a few other roles have been filled recently. [...]      |
| Second ‘Hunger Games’ Film ‘Catching Fire’ In The Works; Release Date Set Posted: 08 Aug 2011 04:27 PM PDT  The adaptation of the first film in Suzanne Collins' bestselling Hunger Games trilogy is still in production, which we previously announced here and won't be released until March of next year, but Lionsgate is already making plans for the next book in the series, Catching Fire, and even has a locked-in release date: November 22, 2013. No further information on the film sequel was released. I wasn't familiar with the Hunger Games series until production on the first film was announced, but the basic plot line of the original sounds like a teen-targeted retread of movies like The Running Man, Death Race 2000, The Condemned, and of course Battle Royale (an American remake of which has been talked about for years) [...]      |
| BBC America To Air ‘Doctor Who’ Specials In Lead-Up To Series 6 Return Posted: 08 Aug 2011 02:27 PM PDT  While Torchwood: Miracle Day gives Whovians a breath of fresh air during the break from Doctor Who Series 6, BBC America is already gearing up for the return of Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor with several Doctor Whotelevision shows to air during August. It was announced during San Diego Comic-Con last month that the second half of Series 6 will resume on Saturday, August 27, 2011. In the lead-up to the return of this season, BBC America has scheduled three specials. The network has also released a short sneak peak teaser of the specials, in which guests discuss their favorite aspects of the long-running series. You can view a list of the specials with date and times, along with the preview video here [...]      |
| Calling All Browncoats! ‘Firefly’ Spin-Off Movie ‘Lost Transmission’ Will Film in 2012 [Updated] Posted: 08 Aug 2011 10:59 AM PDT  Canceled halfway through its first season after being given a lousy time slot and having its episode order shuffled like a blind man running a street corner three-card monte, Joss Whedon's sci-fi/western hybrid Firefly has become the prolific writer and director's most enduring creation. The show gained a massive cult following after the release of its sole truncated season on DVD in late 2003 resulting in Serenity, a big-screen continuation of the Firefly story that brought back the show's principal cast and marked the feature directorial debut of Whedon, currently behind the camera on next summer's The Avengers. But Serenity turned out to be a box office disappointment and plans for further sequels were scuttled, despite the movie's strong DVD sales and renewed interest in the original Firefly series. Since the release of Serenity, Whedon's creation has endured mostly in the printed form but fans have long pushed for the show's return to television or the big screen. None of their efforts have been successful, until now [...]      |

| Watch Now: New Trailer For ‘Doctor Who’ Series 6 Part 2; New Promo Pic Posted: 08 Aug 2011 08:06 AM PDT  There's only a few weeks left before Doctor Who returns to TV, and both BBC and BBC America are ramping up promotion in the lead up to the relaunch of Series 6. The BBC has released another new trailer, a follow-up to the first teaser previewed at SDCC. You can view the new trailer at the bottom of this post. While it's a short teaser, it does give fans a glimpse of a lot of new footage – though not too much to spoil any surprises along the way. There are a few more people wearing an eye patch, which adds to the mystery of new villain Madame Kovarian (Frances Barber). We also get a few glimpses of companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill), and River Song (Alex Kingston); and of course the Doctor himself, Matt Smith. Also, a new promotional poster has been floating around the web lately, in the run-up to the return of the show. The design is fantastic, so I figured I would also include it in this post in its full-size glory [...]      |
