TODAY IN SCI-FI: 20 January 1920 – Star Trek actor DeForest Kelley born

  • Ο Ben Affleck,ετοιμάζει τη μεταφορά του βιβλίου του Stephen King “the stand”.Το σενάριο θα γράψει ο David Kajganich,γνωστός από την ταινία του 2008 “the invasion” με την Nicole Kidman.

 

  • Ο ηθοποιός Christopher Heyerdahl(Sanctuary,twilight,supernatural)θα είναι ένας από τους νέους χαρακτήρες που θα προστεθουν στο κάστ της σειράς True Blood,για την 5η σεζόν.Ο Ηeyerdahl θα παίξει τον Dieter Braun,έναν βρυκόλακα που από τις περιγραφές που κυκλοφορούν,μάλλον θα κάνει αίσθηση.Βέβαια η συμμετοχή του Heyerdahl στο True Blood,μάλλον επιβεβαιώνει τις φήμες οτί το Sanctuary,δεν θα συνεχιστεί για 5η σεζόν.

 

  • Η δέυτερη σεζόν του Game of Thrones θα κάνει πρεμιέρα στην Αμερική 1η Απριλίου 2012 ενώ στην Βρετανία μία μέρα μετά.

 

  • Το BBC ανακοίνωσε την τηλεοπτική μεταφορά του βιβλίου του James Herbert “The secret of Crickley Hall,το οποίο θα προβληθεί σε τρία επεισόδια,τον Οκτώβρη του 2012(Halloween).Την μεταφορά θα αναλάβει ο Joe Ahearne(ultraviolet,apparitions,doctor who).Ένα από τα καλύτερα βιβλία τρόμου που έχω διαβάσει και το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα σε όλους.

 

  • Ανακοινώθηκαν οι υποψηφιότητες για τα βραβεία BAFTA(Βρετανικά κινηματογραφικά βραβεία)
