Here's the F&GM link. They're working on a treatment (a pitch of the story) & concept art, so it's really early in the process, but at least someone is doing something. http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?id=35790 I didn't include Eragon in the list because it seemed to be to be pretty...

We were talking about this before the boards crashed, when the thread was lost. Things may be looking quite bright for a S&S cinema revival. The only real S&S films this decade have been 'The Scorpion King' and 'Dungeons & Dragons' (and possibly Bloodrayne too). But things are looking up. From...

I've just seen Narnia, with fantastic special effects used in a totally bloodless battle. We've also had a great dragon in Harry Potter, disposed of in a equally bloodless way. Why aren't they making S&S films anymore? I know making a film for kids maximises box office. But is wrong to want to...

I saw Raiders in a cinema earlier this year. It wasn't a formal rerelease, just a 24 year old reel which was still doing the rounds. It was a real eye opener, the film feels totally different on the big screen than it does on a TV (the only place I'd ever seen it). You can also really see the...

Arya is in AFfF. The major PoVs are Arya, Sansa, Sam, Jaime, Brienne and Cercei. They're also joined by lots of minor PoVs that only last for one or two chapters (I think there are 6 of these in total, but I'm doing this in my head and may have miscounted).

I finished a couple of days ago. It is the weakest book, and by quite some margin. I don't have much hopes for the next book. Although the "interesting" characters are all there, I think it might suffer from the same problems (characters not doing anything for the whole book, and nothing really...

[The spoilers are names of the new PoV characters and very broad generalities about where the book takes place] I've got AFfC and I'm 300 pages in. And I have to say I'm a bit disapointed. For those who don't know GRRM carved the inter-war period into two: AFfC deals with the South, the next...

Thanks for the reviews, everyone. I'm surprised that comments so far have mainly been positive - I wasn't hoping for much on the budget they were working with. It's nice they've stuck close to the D&D brand. How does it rate alongside the other films in Sword & Sorcery cinema?

The Sci Fi Channel website says it premiers on October 8th. Make sure you set your vcrs/tivos/dvrs for the right date! http://scifi.com/onair/scifipictures/

With the news of the Sci Fi Channel premier, the Gen Con screening, and the screener leak to P2P networks, there's been a lot of news on this recently. Are their any reviews floating about? Even just from the scenes shown at Gen Con? If there are could you point me in their direction?

I'm sceptical. The film has a far lower budget than we previously thought ($6 million - which is about double Starship Troopers II; American Psycho II cost $10 million). I'd be surprised if anyone can do a decent film of the sort they are attempting with that sort of money. I'm not hopeful...

Posting info from the IMDB board. New Cover Art: http://www.filmfantastic.com/film-pictures/Dungeons%20&%20Dragons%202.jpg http://www.calendarlive.com/movies/cl-et-dvd2aug02,0,7911114.story Looks like it is direct-to-video and has a low budget than we thought.

I never intend to suggest my list were the only possible options! If anyone cares to suggest any other epics, then please do!

There has been a spate of Epic out since Gladiator: Troy, Kingdom of Heaven, King Arthur, Alexander, The Last Samurai, etc. Which do you think work?

You might actually get it. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=10369

I really don't have a clue. But I have noticed the new title will be coming out and will be keeping my eye on it. The following quotes from an interview about SUPERGIRL #1 may help you out. Interview with Jeph Loeb: http://www.newsarama.com/DC/Supergirl/Supergirl.htm Previews from SUPERGIRL...

Thanks for the advice. How do you know whether jumping into a (particular) series in mid-stream will be difficult or not? And how do you know which comics are spin off comics and which aren't (and what the origin comics are)?

Hi all; Could someone give me lowdown on how comics work, as a reader. I have vague memories of reading them when I was very young, but essentially have no background knowledge of them now. I wandered into a comic shop a week ago, was stuck by how beautiful some of them were, but was kind of...

SPOILERS I thought it was typical Spielberg. Lot of short cuts to establish cardboard cutout characters at the start. It then just turned into another "End of the World" film, it had some great FX set pieces and some interesting visuals at times. But I didn't think this rescued the movie from...

I really don't get all the Burton/Keaton hate. I thought those films were remarkable. They were certainly much more visually interesting than "Begins". Keaton's "distracted" persona may not have been the mental image of how many fans would have imagined the part, but it was perfect for the film...
