Peek

We start today’s blog with ground-breaking news:

The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien has a new set design.
No, that’s not ground-breaking news.
What is however, is the fact that Serious Lunch has uncovered the truth behind said new set design: it is actually a replica of the Mushroom Kingdom in Super Mario Bros!

Check it out for yourselves:

Great Scott!

Quickly continuing on yesterday’s Heroes casting news, Prison Break‘s Robert Knepper has been cast as the new season’s main villain.

The AMC remake of The Prisoner meanwhile has a (very) short promo now out:

Looks like all the new stuff for today…

Seeing is believing

A few TV and movie news today.

Ain’t It Cool News posted a few poster pics for upcoming movie/sequels from the Licensing International Expo in Las Vegas, including a preview poster for the various Avenger movies:

There are also a bunch of other posters:


Check out the other ones over here.

AICN also tells us as well that Park Chan Wook’s Thirst (from Oldboy fame, and now Cannes fame) will be released in the U.S. by Focus Features on July 31st!
Go check that movie out.

Regarding TV news, it’s more like casting news.
Not that much people care now, but Heroes has added The Nanny/Californication‘s Madeline Zima as a college roommate for the show’s fourth season.
College?
Our little Claire is growing up so fast!

Also, Equilibrium/Sphere/Law Abiding Citizen‘s Kurt Wimmer has been tapped as the writer for the Total Recall remake.
I’m eager to see what we’ll have.

And last but (as usual) not least, Jean-Pierre Jeunet has been announced as the Deauville jury head. The full program for this year’s festival will be unveiled July 21.

New Beginnings

Important Things with Demetri Martin has been renewed for a second season.
A shame I missed him in Cannes (he was there to promote Ang Lee’s Taking Woodstock).

Conan O’Brien’s first Tonight Show debuted strongly (ratings-wise).
I especially loved the cold open for the show.

Javier Barden meanwhile is joining Michael Douglas and Shia LaBoeuf for Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps which should premiere around Feb. 2010.

Also, as some of you may know, Universal and Illumination Entertainment are moving on a Where’s Waldo? live-action family movie.
Yup, really.
