MOVIES: Megan Fox to join Ninja Turtles movie

Remember when Michael Bay announced the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie? Remember when he said it wouldn’t feature turtles, and the teenagers would be from outer space? Remember how every crapped on the movie based on a rough script, that then caused Michael Bay to yell at everyone on the Intardwebz, and tell them to trust him? Yeah… now the director claims Megan Fox will be in the TMNT movie…

TELEVISION: Warehouse 13 gets another season

Consider this a rumor until it is officially announced, but word on the street is SyFy has renewed Warehouse 13 for a fourth season. The show is a big hit on the network, so canceling the show now would not be good business. Plus what would Quantum Mechanix do with all their W13 Merch?

MOVIE: Love interest found for Lone Ranger?

We already know Johnny Depp will play Tonto and Armie Hammer will play the Lone Ranger, but what about the love interest?  Deadline is reporting that Ruth Wilson is in talks to play the female lead/love interest in the Gore Verbinski directed Lone Ranger movie.

I don’t know anything about Ruth Wilson, but dress her up in a costume of the period and she’ll certainly look good.  Since this is the Lone Ranger, I wonder if she’ll be written as the romantic lead for Hammer, or if the production will follow the recently concluded Lone Ranger series from Dynamite Entertainment, where Tonto rides off into the sunset with the Ranger’s sister-in-law?

TELEVISION: Lucas has 50 hours of live-action Star Wars in the can?

Sadly, no.  No he doesn’t.  Rumors started to spread earlier this week when George Lucas sat down for an interview with G4′s Attack of the Show, that had many speculating that George Lucas had already shot 50 hours of a Star Wars television show, but shelved it.

We have 50 hours and we’re just waiting to figure out a different way of making movies, a different technology we can use … to make it feasible to shoot the show…When we do figure this problem out it will dramatically affect a lot of movies. Right now it looks like the Star Wars features.

What Lucas really meant to say was he had 50 hours of the Star Wars television series (set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope) written, not filmed.  This is all according to io9.com who called up Lucasfilm PR directly to get it all sorted out.  Of course this is just the thing a PR person WOULD say to throw us all off the scent.

I know a lot of people are turned off by Lucas and Star Wars at the moment, but I absolutely love what is going on in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and if there was another live-action television series on the air, you can bet I’d be sitting on the floor with my bowl of popcorn, giggling like a six year old.

RUMOR: Bane origin revealed?

One of the biggest questions surrounding The Dark Knight Rises is how will Bane tie into the overall story?  A number of rumors have been spilling out of the bowels of the Intardwebz, and the latest has Bane emerging from a Venom filled Lazarus Pit.

The Plot leak you’ve been waiting for: Eyewitnesses and crew members told us of a particular scene being filmed, where a bald-headed child wearing ragged clothes emerges from the well and pulls his hood over his head. From the conversations, we reckon this is a young Bane, emerging from a vat of Venom, trained by Pence’s Ra’s al Ghul. The years of addiction to Venom builds him to be a massive monster with amped up senses, intelligence and physical prowess.

Keep in mind this is just a rumor, but since the Lazarus Pit is bound to come up in the Christopher Nolan trilogy, this might be the logical way to connect Bane with Ra’s.
