'Wicker Man' Author Pens New Sequel, 'The Wicca Women'

No, I'm not talking about the Nicolas Cage remake of The Wicker Man.  Instead, we're talking about Ritual, the 1967 novel by David Pinner which was turned in to the 1973 classic movie The Wicker Man.  What's fascinating is that Pinner, in a recent interview with Rue Morgue, stated he has actually written a sequel to Ritual -- titled The Wicca Women!
“I’ve just completed the sequel to ‘Ritual,’ after all these years, called ‘The Wicca Woman,’” Pinner tells Rue Morgue Magazine in the most recent issue. “The children who are in ‘Ritual’ are grown up in this. It’s set 30 years later just before the millennium.”
Now will this ever become a movie?  Maybe.

The Future of J.J. Abrams' 'Star Trek' Franchise

With director J.J. Abrams at the helm, it's highly unlikely that "Star Trek Into Darkness," the second film in the must-loved franchise's reboot, is going to be a flop. With a budget of $185 million, the backing of sponsors such as Visa, Mazda, Lifelock and Esurance, and a huge marketing campaign, STID is positioned to be the most successful film in the Star Trek franchise. The success of the "Star Trek" film from 2009 presents a feasible future for the sagging 40-year-old franchise as it incorporated themes and characters from the original series as well as a divergent story and timeline from the original.

Familiar faces and personalities abound in the new Star Trek narrative, such as Captain James T. Kirk, Spock and Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy, but a split in the narrative of the Star Trek universe has lead to different developments surrounding the crew of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701. For instance, Captain Christopher Pike is still the first captain of the enterprise, as he is in the "Star Trek: The Original Series" pilot episode, but in the new film series he is an important part of why Kirk joins Starfleet, and the events suggested in the "ST:TOS" episode “The Menagerie” that leave Captain Pike mute, paralyzed and confined to a brainwave-operated chair, never happen. A full synopsis of the two-part episode “The Menagerie” can be found at TrekCore.  Differences in the history of the alternate universe that the new Star Trek films exists in presents interesting parallels for the series to advance along.

"Star Trek Into Darkness" released in U.S. theaters May 16. From what can be gathered from the trailer alone, we can see Dr. Carol Marcus, who would eventually come to be the mother of Captain Kirk's son in the original Star Trek universe. What does the appearance of this character signify for the future of Star Trek films? Dr. Carol Marcus was originally introduced in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" when superhuman warlord Khan raids the Project Genesis research facility. This is a major plot point for both "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" and "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock." According to Screenrant, "STID" features scenes that take place on the Klingon homeworld of Qo'noS, which furthers the connections between "...Into Darkness" and "Wrath of Khan."

While we know very little about John Harrison, the main villain in "Into Darkness," we know from the trailer that he is dangerous, brilliant and, by his own admission, better than Kirk at everything. A villain of such caliber presents a tantalizing opportunity for speculation in light of the other clues scattered through the "Into Darkness" trailer. All signs point to J.J. Abrams embracing the original motion pictures as source of inspiration, which leads to a singular hypothesis about the future of the Star Trek movie franchise. Khan Noonien Singh, and the inevitable destruction and death that follow in the wake of this quintessential Star Trek villain, a tyrant who controlled a quarter of the world in the Eugenics war 300 years in Star Trek's past. If Khan becomes a focus in "Into Darkness," we may very well see a parallel film series that leads to the events of "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock."

Arnold Schwarzenegger In Talks For 'Toxic Avenger' Remake...Seriously

My brain is still trying to process what it has just learned -- Arnold Schwarzenegger is in negotiations to star in the remake of The Toxic Avenger.  Strange thing?  He wouldn't be playing Toxie, but another lead role.

As a kid, I absolutely loved the Toxic Avenger movies (hell, I even had a Toxie action figure when I was 5); and as an adult, I still do!
Arnold Schwarzenegger is in talks to star in the new “Toxic Avenger,” but he’s no Toxie. He’s in negotiations for another lead role in the reimagining of the 1980s cult pic.

Help A 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' Cartoon Remake Get Made

Director Nicholas Triarchos is needing help getting his animated remake of Plan 9 From Outer Space off the ground -- and you can help!
PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE CARTOON REMAKE

Bad Aftertaste Animation needs your Angora!

NICOSIA, Cyprus - May 6th, 2013

Greetings, earthlings. You better turn on your dictorobitaries for the following announcement.

Bad Aftertaste Animation would love to affect you in the future with this future event: a cartoon remake of Plan 9 From Outer Space, featuring a complete new soundtrack - voices, music and, as a change, acting! - and animated goodness, from special effects to Vampira’s wooden movements. Yes, ‘ooh!’ I hear you say awestruck.

However, world domination cannot happen without your help funding this project, since our electrode guns aren't working, and dropping them on the ground doesn't help. We have started an IndieGoGo campaign trying to collect the necessary material for our attack on mankind.

You can head over to http://igg.me/at/plan9/x/3152901 for our crowd-funding campaign, or you can help spread the word. Either way, you'd be helping getting this saucer where it came from: from up there!
