Out there

First, a quick follow-up to yesterday’s Conan/Mario “news”.

Why is everyone either saying it’s a dead-on reference while other describe Serious Lunch’s post as a giant hoax/conspiracy?
It’s neither!
Some people are taking this a bit too seriously.
It’s just a (good) photoshop joke.
There’s no record to set straight.

You’ve gotta admit though that the set design does look a bit like a Super Mario Bros. 2 medley.

I find it pretty funny that in the span of a few hours, loads of sites not only believed the news, but that Nintendo even commented on it.

Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert’s secret visit to the Persian Gulf has been revealed to take place in Baghdad, Irak.
The shows (next week’s) have been dubbed Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando.

I also just found out this epic Star Trek space battle video made by the team behind the awesome VFX of the new movie.
The video was the opening for the 2009 FedCon Science Fiction convention.
Check out the awesomeness:

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.
