Site under construction

After having traveled in Australia for 9 months, I’m back now. This means the site will be under construction for the time being, to get everything back on track. We’ll be back soon. Thanks for your patience.

In Response to: Fewer Updates

When I left home to go on a trip to Australia, I was expecting to be able to update the site every now and then. Ever since I’ve arrived in Australia I’ve noticed that the amount of internet opportunities is less than I expected.

Also I’ve noticed some bugs in the site script that I can’t possibly solve at this time. I need my own computer and my own programs. Which I don’t have right now.

What this basically comes down to, is that the site won’t be updated until I come back home. Once I do, and I expect it to be …

Avatar’s Dark Knight Victory: A Good Or Bad Sign For John Carter Of Mars?

Avatar sets new records this week, whipping past The Dark Knight like an AMP suit running past a Batpod. But will the success of the Na’vi spell doom for Disney/Pixar’s John Carter of Mars?

Variety is reporting that Avatar has finally beat the Dark Knight’s $533.3 million record, by grossing $552.8 million domestically, thanks to another winning weekend. While the film still trails behind Titanic in the U.S,. the gap is closing, and it’s already beat Titanic’s 1.24 billion international sales with an astounding $1.28 billion. Making Avatar the most successful film internationally… for now.

Let’s all hope this does what we’re …

Taylor Kitsch: The New Action Hero

Any day now, Taylor Kitsch will cut his hair. To transform into the title character in John Carter of Mars—Wall-E director Andrew Stanton’s first live-action feature, based on Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burrough’s sci-fi novels about a Civil War veteran’s adventures on the Red Planet—the 28-year-old actor, who plays the dreamy, brooding, beer-drinking, football-playing Tim Riggins on NBC’s cult drama Friday Night Lights, will lop off his locks for the first time since he was 19. “Hopefully, it’s a 10-year job,” Kitsch says of the potential franchise, which co-stars Willem Dafoe, Samantha Morton and Thomas Haden Church.

Even though the motorcycle-riding actor …

John Carter of Mars Casting Continues

Director Andrew Stanton would currently be in the midst of shooting John Carter of Mars, if the original start date had not been pushed back from November until early 2010. All of the lead actors have been in place for several months, with Taylor Kitsch in the title role. Back in September, actress Lynn Collins, who will star opposite her X-Men Origins: Wolverine co-star as the Martian princess Dejah Thoris, said that some hair and makeup tests were being done.

Apparently, however, the casting process has not even been completed yet, which could account for some of the delay in the production. …

The filming of FNL season 5 begins in March next year and partly overlaps with the filming of JCoM. As a result, Katims says, Taylor will miss part of the season.
