The Nightly Nerdlinger News epi 8

I Am Legend

The I Am Legend trailer is supposedly due out online tonight, as a bootleg if nothing else since it's also supposed to be included with every print of Oceans 13. I'm still not happy about Will Smith maybe butchering another classic, but as this is one of my favorite novels and I loved both the original I Am Legend with Vincent Price and the remake The Omega Man with Charlton Heston, I'll definately be seing it. Watch this space for more news and a link to the trailer when it becomes available. AICN has the poster up, but it pretty much sucks ass.

City of Heroes, The Movie?

Transformers producer Tom DeSanto has secured the film rights to NCsoft and Cryptic Studios' video game City of Heroes, Variety reported. The plan is to adapt the massively multiplayer online role-playing game into a live-action feature and then transition it to television in some form, the trade paper reported. The movie revolves around a group of superheroes who live in Paragon City and must team up in order to fight an invasion of aliens known as the Rikti. In the game, players design their own superhero characters and pay a monthly fee of $14.99 to battle supervillains, aliens, madmen and other criminals. An expansion of the game also enables players to create their own villainous characters. City of Heroes first bowed at retailers in 2004 and turned into a franchise, spawning the sequel City of Villains and a comic-book series published by Top Cow Productions.

Vermsnote: I played CoH and CoV on and off for over a year and will probably play again this summer. Great game and tons of fun. Here's hoping that this turns out well.

Speed Racer official site is now up.

Halloween, the Rob Zombie remake of the movie, official site is up. You can only view the trailer between 9PM and 4AM
