Grabbag

-Fox is turning the smash anime hit "Cowboy Bebop" into a live action film starring Keanu Reeves, its the story of 2 bounty hunters (Spike Spiegel + Jet Black) rollin' around in a space ship called the Bebop. Keanu looks just like Spike, but lets see if he can actually get some acting out and play the role.

-Twice cancelled, less than a hit show "Jericho" is getting turned into a movie. If you know anything about this show; it was canceled before the end of season 1, so in a move relevant to the story enraged fans sent Peanuts to the studio in protest. The show was renewed for 8 episodes (an unprecedented accurance) and if it did any better it had the option for 8 more season 2 episodes. WELLLL it actually did even worse season 2 and was yet again canceled. Ape shit fans tried to bring it back yet again, and failed miserably. But now show director John Turtletaub is set to direct a movie version. You can apparently watch this even if you've never seen the show as it will focus on the entire country during an epic disaster as opposed to simply Jericho. The whole cast is signed on. I tried to love this show but it was a bit too slow paced for me, I think focusing on the whole nation though is a smart move. Ill probably watch this.

-"South Park" Season 12 will be the first season of the show released on Blu-Ray. Looks bomb, the show will be presented in High Def 1080i Widescreen (the dvds will get standard full screen :p) and be the first set with legit bonus features. 6 days to South Park: A day by day making of, Behind the Scenes: Major Boobage, Behind the Scenes: About Last Night. Drops March 10th, cant wait!

-WonderCon 09. Feb 27th to Mar 1st. San Francisco, CA. You gonna be there?

-New Red Band Trailer for "I Love You, Man" looks OH so funny.
