They can rebuild him. They have the technology. But do audiences really care? That's the question that Universal is facing now, as The Tracking Board reports taht the studio is trying yet again to assemble a reboot of the beloved 1974 series The Six Million Dollar Man.
Two corners of the DC television universe have just added exciting new members to their cast. Over on the CW, Arrow has gained Fargo and Armageddon's Peter Stormare as Count Vertigo, while Annie Hall and Dog Day Afternoon Academy Award nominated actress Carol Kane will put down roots in Fox's Gotham.
The big Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice news item of the day may be the first official photo of Henry Cavill in Supes' red cape and blue spandex, but late last night an intriguing rumor dropped that shouldn't be ignored. According to Latino Review, Lex Luthor won't be the only one causing trouble for the titular duo. In fact, he will be joined by four other DC villains.
Much of the marketing for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy has leaned heavily on 1970s hits like Blue Swede's "Hooked On A Feeling" or Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky," and from the looks of the new tracklisting for the film's soundtrack, those are just the tip of the iceberg.
The large cast for J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII may have already been announced, but that hasn't stopped new casting rumors from finding their way online. They originated with Latino Review, who suggested that Carrie Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd would be joining the production in a cameo role.

So, when he was announced as part of Star Wars: Episode VII's new cast, we wondered immediately if he would be taking his mo-cap talents to a galaxy far, far away.
Arrow has done a fantastic job at bringing DC comics characters into the fold in organic, fun ways over the course of its first two seasons. We've seen the likes of several big names, like Deathstroke, Amanda Waller, the Suicide Squad, the League of Assassins, Solomon Grundy, Deadshot, Huntress, Black Canary, Barry Allen, and Merlyn enter the fray, as well as lesser-known heroes and villains like Nyssa Al Ghul, the Clock King, Count Vertigo, Firefly, Shado, and the Royal Flush Gang.
Just yesterday Mark Ruffalo chimed in about the possibility of seeing a Planet Hulk live-action adaptation for the next solo Hulk film, saying that he didn't feel it was the right direction to go and that you needed "more Bruce Banner" than the Hulk-in-a-gladiator-arena premise would provide.
The marketing for The Expendables 3 may hint that this will be the geriatric action franchise's "Last Ride," but if the movie manages to make as much money as the last two installments, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a fourth outing. So, once the likes of Rambo, the Terminator, John McClane, Blade, He-Man, Han Solo, George Wallace, Zorro, and a host of other action movie icons have shared the screen, how do you go bigger for another sequel? Why, you add James Bond, of course!
While this may not seem like that big of a deal to those unfamiliar with Hellblazer comics, Constantine pilot director Neil Marshall has confirmed that John Constantine will be forced to buy some nicotine gum, as he's not allowed to smoke on the upcoming NBC series.
