We are about 4 months away from the biggest comic and entertainment convention in the world and already it’s mostly sold out.  If you haven’t yet bought your 4day or even single day passes, consider yourself S.O.L. until next year.  That is unless you’re the type that just likes to walk around the exhibit hall and buy things that are still left on the tables. If so, then tickets for Sunday are still available.

If you’re not able to go because of tickets or not being able to fit it into your plans this year, no worries. We’ve got you and the convention covered. So stay tuned!

Just the other week I was telling my husband how awesome it would be if there was a Predator movie where humans go to the Predator’s home planet and all hell breaks loose. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that my dream had come true! On July 7, 2010 a new chapter in the Predator saga will begin. The cast will feature Laurence Fishburne, Topher Grace, Adrian Brody, and Danny Trejo. With a screenplay by Robert Rodriquez I’m sure it won’t disappoint.

Attention 24 fans! (the few that  remain) Now I know this season hasn’t been that great and I know it’s hard to keep your loyalty when the quality has obviously declined, but do you really wanna see Jack Bauer gone? If you’re like me and love the occasional torture, betrayals, blackmailing and “Dammit!” then the answer is no. Fear not, for NBC is in talks with Fox about picking up 24. More after the break.

Film Director, Peter Cooper, hardly tweets on his upcoming fan film’s Twitter account, OpChastity. But today, has has tweeted (or twatted?) some great news about the progress of his upcoming Halo fan feature film.

There’s a buzz in the air. Talk of a teaser trailer. Exciting times.

Don’t know what all this Operation Chastity stuff is about? Here, let me school you.  A young chap, named Peter Cooper had the bright idea to create his own Halo fan feature film.  The word feature means a full length movie.  Meaning nothing shorter than an hour. All props, scripts and filming will be coming from him and his team. Not from any big budget movie types like Peter Jackson or Neill Blomkamp.

Yea. This film is going to be big. How big? Peter and his team have already created their own Halo Warthog and debuted it the 2009 London MCM Expo.  After their unveiling, I was able to catch up with Peter and do an exclusive interview with him via Skype. Interviewing people from San Diego, CA all the way to London. Ain’t technology great?

To see more about Operation Chastity and follow it’s progress, head over the official website.

According to insiders at Marvel, John Krasinski is a lock to play Captain America in “The First Avenger: Captain America.” It’s been reported that he’s already read for the part four times and done two screen tests. According to the source, “He is a favorite among the key decision makers and has been asked to come back for more this week.” A lot of you may know Krasinski as Jim from The Office, but if he is chosen for Captain America he will for sure become a household name. The plan is to sign him on for a multi-film deal starting with “The First Avenger” set to be released on July 22, 2011.
