Ultraviolet images released
The official Milla Jovovich site has a ton of new pictures from her upcoming Ultraviolet. I don't know what to make of them, but it's hard to go wrong when you've got Milla Jovovich dressed in a black wig and red leather wielding dual machine guns and kicking all sorts of ass. Although she could probably do without the goofy sunglasses. Maybe in the future the sun is burning twice as bright, and people have to look twice as stupid to keep their eyes protected from the harmful UV radiation. Damn you nuclear fusion. Damn you to hell!
NOTE: Now that I think about it, the movie is called Ultraviolet. Maybe I'm even more insightful than I'd realized.

The Breed first look poster
Bloody Disgusting has scored a first look poster of Wes Craven's The Breed, which stars Michelle Rodriguez, Taryn Manning, Oliver Hudson, Hill Harper and Eric Lively. The story revolves around two brothers, one a highly athletic daredevil and the other a much more serious and sensitive type, who in the midst of trying to patch up their wonky relationship - on a getaway at their Uncle's house - are forced to flee a pack of vicious killer dogs. At least they've got Michelle Rodriguez in it, so you know there will be at least one stereotypically gruff woman who pouts all day with her arms folded and says stuff like, "Follow me and don't fall behind."
Joss Whedon on the future of television
TV Guide has a great guest editorial by Joss Whedon on the future of television. It's not very serious and it isn't very informative, but damnit if it isn't funny.
Many people have asked me, "Joss, what is the future of television? What will we watch? And how will we watch it? Surely you must know, for you are wise, and slender." I usually smile and say nothing, because I wasn't actually listening to the question. But it's a good one, and I think it's time I let you in on a few highlights of Television-to-Be.
Sometimes I wish Joss wasn't such a talented bastard so that I could sleep at nights knowing that I'm not a complete and utter failure. Which clearly I am, because last time I checked I neither wrote nor directed Serenity.

No Hulk sequel planned
Despite rumors to the contrary, it seems that neither Eric Bana nor Ang Lee are interested in making a sequel to Hulk. This is great news for everybody, since Hulk was a gigantic pile of cow feces that I'm sure both Bana and Lee wish everybody would just forget about. If they really want to do a Hulk sequel right, they need to lose the story and go with a two and a half hour epic of pure destruction. It probably doesn't sound like a very solid movie, but T3 was very strong and based almost entirely on action scene after action scene. Although it also had a half-naked Kristanna Loken in it, so maybe that's why it turned out so awesome. Okay it's official, they need to replace the CG Hulk with a half-naked Kristanna Loken. They don't even have to paint her green or anything, just make sure that her butt cheeks and the sides of her breasts are visible at all times. Instant classic!

Ultraviolet Poster
A new Russian poster for Kurt Wimmer's Ultraviolet has been released. I have no idea what the movie is, but Milla Jovovich is in it and here's the description according to IMDB:
Set in the late 21st century, a subculture of humans have emerged who have been modified genetically by a vampire-like disease (Hemophagia), giving them enhanced speed, incredible stamina and acute intelligence, and as they are set apart from "normal" and "healthy" humans, the world is pushed to the brink of worldwide civil war (a war between humans and hemophages) aimed at the destruction of the "diseased" population. In the middle of this crossed-fire is - an infected woman - Ultraviolet (played by Milla Jovovich), who finds herself protecting a nine-year-old boy who has been marked for death by the human government as he is believed to be a threat to humans.
The only thing I care about is that Milla Jovovich is in this bad boy. She's usually cast in some pretty terrible movies, but as long as they don't mess with her face or body, it's all good.
Google finanes Broken Arrows
The founders of Google have take it upon themselves to step out of the conquering the world business and into the movie business. They recently announced that they're financing an independent film for their friend, Reid Gershbein, a graphics designer at DreamWorks Animation. The film is called Broken Arrows and according to the site is:
A story of love and a struggle over the virtues of free will versus destiny. It follows the journey of Reese, who becomes a hitman after he loses his wife and unborn child, as he confronts the forces of love, faith, and destiny.
Sure, whatever. The only thing anybody cares about here is that Google is involved. According to my study - which features a lot of graphs and diagrams - Google will become President of the United States in the year 2009. And that's not even an election year.
