Rumor Mill: Robert Pattinson Not Set To Ride 'Dune's' Space Worms After All

30 September 2009 6:35 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

After months of speculation that Twilight star Robert Pattinson might star in director Peter Berg's upcoming adaptation of Frank Herbert's "Dune," newbie gossip slangers Gossip Cop broke the scoop that Pattinson would be out of either the Dune role or his gig in Bel Ami, the sordid tale of a playboy adapted from Guy de Maupaussant's novel. Naturally, Twi-hards rejoiced at the news that RPattz will keep the role in which he romances ladies left and right, rather than the one in which he puts his hand in a pain box and rides giant space sandworms. Will Dune fans agree?

Truth be told, Pattinson was never confirmed for the Dune cast but heavy speculation had him pegged to play the part of young Paul Atreides, the heir to a noble family in writer Herbert's space opera. The character was previously played by Kyle MacLachlan in David Lynch's »

News: Gandalf's Back!

12 June 2009 8:49 AM, PDT | doorQ.com | See recent doorQ.com news »

Hugo Weaving, Andy Serkis and Ian McKellan are Hobbiting! Guillermo del Toro has confirmed that all three will be back as Elrond, Gollum and big ol' gray-hat himself, Gandalf in the new The Hobbit movies, set to start shooting next year. 

The films are to follow the plot of The Hobbit, with "extra" material from other work Tolkein works thrown in to round out and lengthen the story. 

Still to be decided? Who'll play Bilbo, the main hero of the tale.  There's some talk of James McAvoy for the role, which would suit me just fine.  I've been a major fan of his since Children Of Dune. He did a nice job playing Mr. Tummus in the first Narnia film and was pretty decent in Wanted as well.  So having him put on the hobbit feet and trounce across New Zealand wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

Barker’s Book Of Blood going to Sci Fi

29 April 2009 12:49 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

At the recently wrapped Fangoria Weekend of Horrors convention in Los Angeles, writer/director John Harrison announced that his Clive Barker adaptation Book Of Blood will likely bypass theatrical distribution, and debut on the Sci Fi Channel this fall (by which point it will be known under its ridiculous new Syfy moniker).

“There can’t be a worse time, economically, to open an independent horror film in the U.S. than now,” the Tales From The Darkside: The Movie director told the crowd, “so we will instead do a major cable launch on Sci Fi around September. We hope to get the movie on a few big screens before then, but it’s tough.”

Harrison, who also wrote and directed the Dune miniseries and scripted its follow-up Children Of Dune for Sci Fi, hopes to pitch additional feature films to Barker’s Midnight Picture Show company. For an early minireview of Book Of Blood, »
