A transmission live from college ethernet...

This is a short but sweet update to inform you that I will soon be previewing Resident Evil: Apocalypse based on information gleaned from the US theatrical release. I shal endeavour to write up a full fledged review of the movie after I finish watching it after its release in the United Kingdom.

In other news, Peter Jackson's 'King Kong' remake is still currently in pre-production and filming should commence in around October of this year. I resent the fact a chubby long-black-haired musician (Jack Black) has been slated as the main leading role.

It would appear 'The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe' is also getting a remake, as I sniffed upon some production photos for a fabricated set for the Ice castle.

The extremely popular Doom franchise (With the recent release of Doom III) is having a film adaptation of the events that circulated through the UAC Mars facility. The only news I could sniff up was found on TheOneRing.net (Of all places!) which details that a Wellington-born actor named Karl Urban has landed a role as John Grimm; leader of a special team which fights aliens. This seems odd, since Doom was about Hell, abominations and demons--not space aliens!

More news to come, my little horror fans!
