The Nightly Nerdlinger News epi 11

Say it isn't so!

A reviewer at AICN reports that Bruce Campbell isn't in Bubba Nosferatu, the sequel to Bubba Ho-tep. This is like the book of John without Jesus. But his review of My Name is Bruce confirms that it's a must for fans of "The Chin". Hopefully this will change or my heart will break.

The Mach 5 looks AWESOME!

A new pic of the Mach 5 from the upcoming Wachowski Brothers movie, "Speed Racer" has shown up on AICN. Very cool, I am having good feelings about this movie.





Heroes adds 6 new cast members


NBC has annonced that it has added six new cast members for the upcoming season of Heroes, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Joining the cast in recurring roles will be Barry Shabaka Henley, Holt McCallany, David Anders, Eriko Tamura, Lyndsy Fonseca and Dianna Agron. Anders, best known for his recurring role on Alias, will play the ancient samurai warrior Takezo Kensei, the childhood hero of Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka). The last scene of the finale showed Hiro inadvertently transporting himself back in time to ancient Japan, where he is likely to encounter Kensei next season. Japanese pop star and actress Tamura will play a Japanese princess in the same time period. Henley will play Detective Fuller, a New York police officer. McCallany will play Ricky, the ringleader of a group of Irish thugs. Fonseca and Agron will play beautiful cheerleaders in Southern California, where Claire (Hayden Panettiere) is expected to move. Fonseca's character April is sweet, while Agron's Debbie is a mean girl. The six join Nick d'Agosto, who recently landed a recurring role on Heroes next season, as well as Dania Ramirez, who was cast as a new regular.

If Luke Cage has a movie, where's Iron Fist?


Tyrese Gibson (Transformers) told SCI FI Wire that it's looking increasingly likely that he will star in a big-screen movie featuring the Marvel Comics hero Luke Cage. If everything goes according to plan, Gibson will play Cage, the first black comic-book superhero, in a film to be directed by John Singleton, who previously directed Gibson in the drama Baby Boy. "They're doing rewrites on it now, and we actually have a meeting coming up on it soon, from what I hear, just to see where we are with the whole thing," Gibson said in an interview while promoting Transformers. "Right now they're in the process of getting the rewrites done, and then they'll, I guess, do kind of a formal presentation to see if it's going to be a go." Asked what interests Gibson most about the super-strong and hard-to-hurt Cage character, he replied: "I just love his presence, and I love the fact that he's one of the first black comic-book characters. I'd like to make the comic-book world proud with what I'm looking to do with Luke Cage. So hopefully the opportunity all pans itself out. Me and Singleton are both looking to be a part of it, if the screenplay turns out right. I met with [producer] Avi Arad, and he's very excited about the possibility. But you can't do a great movie without a great script, and the ducks have got to line up."
