Some ideas are so weird that they just work. One of them is David Cronenberg retooling Dead Ringers for an HBO series. The film starred Jeremy Irons as a pair of twin gynecologists. Their hobbies included seducing women and passing them from one brother to… Continue reading
The machines are rising again, and this time on the Fox Network. The broadcast channel has made a pilot commitment to a new series spinning off from the Terminator films. Yup, a Terminator series. Except without a Terminator. The show will be called The Sarah… Continue reading
Lost obviously has a large fanbase, filled with fairly loyal people. How do you sell things to these people? One way is to offer odd and unique tie in books – like a novel written by one of the passengers on Oceanic 815. Except that the guy died. Sometime… Continue reading
