So, as usual Comic Con brings some exciting tidbits of info.

I cannot wait for Star Trek XI DVD. That preview got me way too excited. :D

Like the teaser poster but really want to see a trailer for Dead of Night (based on Dylan Dog comics).

Paul Gross has been at Comic Con for The Witches of Eastwick TV series (which I would love to say excites me, but I'm not sold at the moment). Gross fans - is his shirt really that bad?! I don't think it is (maybe I should be worried about my own fashion sense ;)

Also, General? Would you care to step outside? These Mattel figures of Superman and General Zod - I WANT THEM.

ETA: You've probably seen this by now but fangirls will be happy with Tennant/Barrowman especially:



Am more interested in what this 'special announcement at another panel.... *is curious*

Cute bit of casting news, Sam 'Jimmy Olsen' Huntington is joining Brandon 'Superman' Routh as his team mate in the movie Dead of Night based on Italian comics Dylan Dog.

*grins* Should be interesting.

Interview here.

Exclusive Video Interview: Brandon Routh talks SCOTT PLIGRIM and DYLAN DOG

^ *thank you* Frosty @ Collider. You've asked the exact kind of questions I'd be curious to know the answer to and now I know that Brandon 'Superman' Routh:

- prefers Shaun of the Dead to Hot Fuzz.
- is a Spaced junkie.

I am so excited that he's gonna be working with Edgar Wright :D :D :D

Also glad that finally the Dylan Dog project is moving forward - I bought the Italian comic when I was in Rome, can't understand it all though! Does anyone know if there are English translation publications out? Haven't found any on a search. I bet there will be when the movie is released.

Been offline for a few days? what have I missed?

Am just dumping photos from my weekend in Rome. Had a fab time. Hotel was a-mazing. And I didn't have to pay a thing - yay for competition wins! Only spanner in the works was on our last day the entire transport network in Rome - the metro, the trains, the buses all went on strike so we had to stay central. Annoyed us because we'd planned to take a visit to Cinecittà Studios where numerous Oscar nominated movies have been shot, and of course the 'spaghetti' westerns. Oh and Doctor Who ;) Never made it though thanks to the strike. Never mind. Still had a great time :)

( Random Rome - Me, The Doctor, Graffiti etc )


^ I has coffee. good coffee.

( The Vatican, The Collisieum, The Trevi Fountain, The Spanish Steps )

Stuff I bought - Italian comics:

Dylan Dog (to be made into a film Dead of Night next year by Hollywood, starring Brandon Routh)
Danger Diabolik! (Already made into film - saw a bit of it on my bfi course)

^ could be a fun way to get more familiar with the Italian language.
