I Am Link

.

--- Every Day Friday - So there's going to be a Friday the 13th television series, apparently. Yes we know there already was one, but this one's going to actually be about Jason Voorhees, or at least his family, along with the quirky residents of the Crystal Lake community. Yes, it sounds like they're ripping off the Bates Motel model... which save Vera Farmiga has proven to be a TERRIBLE mode. Have I told you guys how boring I am finding Bates Motel right now? WTF is this crowd of skeevy bleached douchebag drug-runners nonsense? Give me taxidermy and incest and wigs dammit!

--- How About Holmes - Martin Freeman says that everybody's super-busy schedules are messing up a new round of Sherlocks happening before this year is through, but maybe they could do a one-off sorta special, they are thinking. Did everybody watch the recent episodes? I finally got through them a couple weeks ago (while I was flying to Italy actually) and man they were fun.

--- Western Fella - Most of this interview with Christopher Meloni's filler to those of us who don't watch his new show, but the bit towards the end about Oz and the effect his character had on gay representation in the media is interesting. Also I didn't know he moved to LA. Boo, Chris. (thanks Mac)

--- Showgirls & Spooks - Not a whole bunch of info but the new movie that Eli Roth is producing alongside his Aftershock director is called Drowned, will be filmed in Las Vegas any day now, and is some kind of supernatural thriller. Someone named Jessica Chandler is directing it; this is her first feature credit. Oh and Eli Roth got pissy on Twitter when BD suggested it has a "micro-budget." Probably sounded too close to "micro-penis" for him.

--- Metal Man - They've already crammed too many characters into the film's title, much less the expansive cast, but hey look Batman Vs. Superman is going to have Cyborg in it now too. He'll be played by theater actor Ray Fisher, seen there to the right; I suppose the fact that they're stuffing in a black actor who could possibly have more to do down the line should at least alleviate some of the "Toys! Toys! Toys!" obnoxiousness of how everything having to do with this movie is sitting with me.

--- Marvel At This - DH rounded up a few choice quotes from Joss Whedon in Empire magazine about how filming is going on the new Avengers movie, and about whether there are too many characters tumbling about, and yadda yadda Joss being sassy. And then over here they got a couple quotes from Marvel honcho Kevin Feige about Edgar Wright's Ant-Man movie, and how the long-game they played in getting that movie made influenced all the other movies.

--- Two Faced - We've talked about The Two Faces of January a few times since it's an adaptation of a Patricia Highsmith story starring Viggo Mortensen and Kirsten Dunst (and Oscar Isaac, blah) and obviously those things are in our wheel-house - now there's a clip and some pictures, and Viggo looks very attractive. As if that's an extraordinary thing, or something. Viggo? Attractive? What the!

--- Stargate Silliness - Ridley Scott is making a series for HBO that will explore the connections between Ancient Egypt and extraterrestrials. I feel as if I phrased that like it's a documentary or something, which obviously it isn't, obviously. Don't you even try! Bzzt! Zip it! Anyway I guess this could be something.
