Terminator TV Series?:
Yup, C2 Pictures and WB and Fox will produce The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The series will explore what happened to Sarah Connor after the end of T2. Here's what writer-producer Josh Friedman had to say:
"Challenge is trying to figure out how to reinterpret (Connor) for television. The last thing I want to do is take a title and exploit it. The show needs to stand on its own while still being respectful of the franchise."
I've got mixed feelings about this... Other news, C2 also confirms that they're in the final phases of development of a fourth Terminator film that marks the beginning of a new trilogy.

The director said that this will be Nicolas Cage like you've never seen him before and that the character he plays, Sgt. John McLoughlin, is very "John Wayne".

Kung Fu Panda update:
Jack Black will voice Po the Panda in Dreamworks' animated feature Kung Fu Panda. Po is the laziest of all the animals in the Valley of Peace but when Po shows up during a martial arts competition, the masters are shocked to see that the panda carries the mark of the Chosen One.
Sounds like fun, but it's getting better, Dustin Hoffman, Ian McShane and the one and only Jackie Chan are joining Jack Black to voice the other characters!

Harold Ramis talks Ghostbusters 3?!:
Actor-director Harold Ramis talked about some ideas he had for Ghostbusters 3! ...Too bad the movie will not be made, check this out:
"Well, we never really got down to an actual scenario. We had a story. Part of the fun of Ghostbusters was developing some kind of lamebrained scientific explanation for what was going on, and I take credit for this.
What Danny (Akroyd) had originally conceived was sending us to a special-effects Hell - a netherworld full of phenomenal visual environments and boiling pits and all that stuff. So my notion was that Hell exists simultaneously, and in the same place as our consensus reality. But it's like a film shutter - it's the darkness between the 24 frames. When we're blinking on, they're off - so we blink alternately with this other reality, which is Hell."
Man, that sounds awesome.

Rick McCallum talks Star Wars TV series:
Producer Rick McCallum talked a bit about the Star Wars TV series. He didn't mention the storyline but explained how they want to approach this:
"What we said is why don't we try and restructure the process of how television is made; let's set up our own studio, with the same players. They're not going to be out of work; they'll make a decent living; there's no stars, the actors get what the crew gets, the crew gets what the actors get. We try and set up a different system to make a television series that had all the basic look and feel of a feature film.
What we want to do is take everything we've learned from feature films and this new digital pipeline and put it back into television and set a standard for how in four or five years time we can start making feature films for five or ten million dollars instead of the $80, $90, $100 million it takes now."
