Rapid

Let’s begin with great news.
You’ve probably heard about it by now, but if you didn’t: Neil Patrick Harris is hosting the Emmys this year!

Also, Callum Keith Rennie is joining the cast of 24 next season.
So that’s another Battlestar Galactica alumnus on the show.

And now for bad news.
Kristen Bell told EW the following about the Veronica Mars movie:

“I don’t think it will ever happen, and here’s why: [Series creator] Rob Thomas and I had a powwow, and we were both 100 percent on board. We took our proposal to Warner Bros. and Joel Silver told us that there is no enthusiasm [there] to make a Veronica Mars movie, and that is unfortunately a roadblock we cannot compete with.” But — like the rest of us, I suspect — she isn’t giving up hope. “Maybe if we bombard them with letters?” she suggests. “Maybe [then] they will change their tune.” What are you waiting for, a written invitation from Veronica Mars herself? Start bombarding Warner Bros. with letters!

I hope at one point we get a Veronica Mars movie, though if it’s a “5-year later” kind of deal I would probably be against it.

Back from the dead

First up today, some great news: Futurama will be back (on Comedy Central)!
Collider reports that the Futurama production office have already oppened and casting is about to start.
The source further reports that the order is of a 13-episode season.
Best news of the day as far as I’m concerned.

In other TV info, BSG‘s Katee Sackhoff is joining the cast of next season’s 24, completing the team already made up of Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Westfeldt, Mykelti Williamson, John Boyd and Chris Diamantopoulos.

And finally, a little vid to pass the time until I’m not too lazy enough to post some real content:
