While working on The Avangers, Joss Whedon and Kai Cole created a micro-studio called Bellwether Pictures to produce Whedon’s take on Much Ado About Nothing. Now they are already announcing their second film. A supernatural romance, In Your Eyes, which Whedon wrote and is executive producing.
Described as a metaphysical love story, In Your Eyes, is about two seemingly polar opposites who are deeply connected in ways neither could have ever imagined.
Whedon:
“When I wrote In Your Eyes, I didn’t have the wherewithal (or the moxie) to make it without an established production house. I believe, as I did then, that it’s a pretty timeless romance, and now, with the creation of Bellwether Pictures (and Brin Hill’s elegant, passionate take on the piece) I have the opportunity to prove it. (I also have a 37% increase in moxie.) I love this team (especially the girl one) and I can’t wait to see them bring In Your Eyes to life.”
So, since Joss Whedon has his own production studio now, does that mean Fox can’t cancel his shows anymore?

SyFy Films announced today that it has acquired the rights to the Science –Fiction superhero anthology Wild Cards edited by George R. R. Martin. The ongoing anthology of 22 books was first published in 1987 and is based on stories by a consortium of science-fiction writers. Melinda Snodgrass will pen the script for Wild Cards which is the first acquisition for Syfy Films since its launch in December 2010. The announcement was made today by Syfy Film’s Senior Vice President of Production, Gregory Noveck.
“Wild Cards presents a terrific franchise opportunity given the volume of material from this compelling fantasy series,” said Noveck. “We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to develop a film based on the anthology’s supernatural heroes, and to be working with such talented and visionary writers as George R.R. Martin and Melissa Snodgrass.”
Wild Cards is one of the most successful and longest running, science-fiction book series. Its characters were developed with the goal of creating a realistic take on people with super powers and how they affect their daily lives. The series was conceived as a shared universe in which different authors contributed new characters and storylines to the overall mythos.
Martin and Snodgrass will serve as executive producers. Along with Martin and Snodgrass, original contributors include popular contemporary science-fiction writers Roger Zelazny (“The Chronicles of Amber”) and Walter Jon Williams (“Hardwired”). More recently a new generation of noted science-fiction and fantasy authors have contributed characters and storylines to this ever-growing universe. They include Cherie Priest (“Boneshaker”), Paul Cornell (“Doctor Who”), David Anthony Durham (“Acacia”) and Carrie Vaughn (“The Kitty Norville” series). The books have been translated into several languages and have been adapted into comic books and role-playing games.
SyFy Films was launched as a joint venture with Universal Pictures, with the goal of producing original theatrical releases in the SciFi, Fantasy, and horror genres. Beginning in 2012, SyFy Films plans to release two pictures a year.
I wish SyFy Films good luck in their endeavors. I look forward to the Wild Cards movies. Hopefully, they put more money/effort into their theatrical movies than the SyFy Channel usually puts into their SyFy Channel Original Movies.

Alright, they claim that this is the final Muppet parody trailer. I for one hope that it isn’t. These parody trailers are brilliant. Hopefully they will continue to make parody trailers for other movies to put on their you tube channel. But enough of my drivel, on with the trailer…

Miwk Publishing have announced a new book that explores the history of the Audio Visuals – Adventures in Time & Space. A fan produced series of Doctor Who audio adventures starring Nicholas (voice of the Daleks) Briggs as the Doctor, that ran between 1984 and 1991.
From Miwk site:
In 1984 a group of Doctor Who fans began a project which would continue for another decade and eventually lead to much greater things.
Audio Visuals: Audio Adventures in Time & Space were a non-profit, fan endeavour creating full-cast audio Doctor Who drama. 27 plays later the majority of the creative team would go on to be involved with Big Finish, an officially licensed range of Doctor Who audio dramas.
For many fans Audio Visuals seem almost canon. Nicholas Briggs was our Doctor. We remember the Daleks’ destruction of Gallifrey before it even happened on TV. We supported our Doctor through drug addiction, companion-loss and the horror of Justyce.
This book is a guide to those days. .
With contributions from Nicholas Briggs, Gary Russell, Nigel Fairs, John Ainsworth, John Wadmore, Alistair Lock, Patricia Merrick, Richard Marson, Nigel Peever, Jim Mortimore, Andy Lane, Chris M Corney and no doubt many others between now and September, all wrapped up in a new cover by Tim Keable.
Celebrate Doctor Who fan creativity at its very best.
Justyce Served is written by Alun Harris and Mathew West. It is slated to be released in September 2012. Profits from the book will be donated to Amnesty International UK. It is available for preorder from the Miwk site.
I for one loved the Audio Visual plays and am a huge fan of Big Finish. I’m looking forward to adding this to my Doctor Who collection.

Warner in a move similar to the way Disney handles their animated movies appears to be retiring the boy wizard to the Chamber of Secrets (AKA Disney Vault), in an attempt to spur sales of the final Harry Potter movie and the complete Harry Potter Box Set. This move will surely push sales as is intended, but how much will Warner lose to piracy in the dark times between the Chamber being opened. Disney regularly sees enormous sales of their animated movies when they open the vault every few years and re-release them, but the Disney Animated movies are also some of the most pirated movies on the internet. In a world of Digital Distribution and the purity of a digital copy people will find a way to get the movies they want whether the studio is actively selling it or not. So what do Disney and Warner have to lose by having these movies for sale all the time, other than instilling a fake sense of urgency in their customers?
Warner Brothers will stop shipping all titles in the Harry Potter Franchise beginning December 29th, and eventually remove the existing titles from store shelves.
