New International Trailer For Ridley Scott’s ‘Prometheus’ Posted: 29 Apr 2012 04:00 PM PDT 20th Century Fox has unleashed an extended international trailer for Ridley Scott's anticipated return to the science-fiction genre, Prometheus.

$5 MP3 Album Deal: Janis Joplin’s Greatest Hits Posted: 29 Apr 2012 03:00 PM PDT As part of Amazon's monthly $5 MP3 album deal for April 2012, Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits is on sale for only $5. One of American music's most tragic, flawed singers, Janis Joplin came out of the Billie Holiday/Big Mama Thornton school of hard knocks in the late 1960s to carve her own niche as one of the most influential singers of all time. First doing her musical turns with Big Brother and the Holding Company and then on her own with some stellar backing bands and finally stripped down, Joplin took every drop of the 1960s excess and devoured it for all it was worth [...]

Daredevil Gets ‘Born Again’ With Rewrite By David James Kelly Posted: 29 Apr 2012 10:20 AM PDT A Daredevil reboot has been in the works for over a year now, with David Slade (30 Days of Night, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) in talks to direct. Fringe writer Brad Caleb Kane was initially brought in to pen the script, but the project fell off the radar shortly thereafter. It seems like the reboot has picked up steam as 20th Century Fox has just hired a new scribe to rewrite the script. Deadline reports that the studio has signed David James Kelly to do a rewrite of Kane's Daredevil script. The film will actually be the first writing credit for Kelly, whose only previous work includes being a post-production assistant on the 2008 film Sunshine Cleaning [...]
