  • Ronald D. Moore, creator of Battlestar Galactica, has just signed a two-year deal with Universal Media Studios. This means he could be developing a new series for them that would air as early as fall of 2008, probably on NBC. As far as film is concerned, Moore is also working on a sequel to I, Robot and a remake of The Thing.
  • Rumor is, Russell Crowe might play the villain in the new Star Trek movie. Nice!
  • We've been looking forward to Michel Gondry's next movie, Be Kind Rewind, since we first heard about it way back. Mos Def works at a local video store where all the tapes get erased due to the fact that his friend, played by Jack Black, happens to be magnetized. So, they hit upon an insane solution: refilm all the movies themselves. Check out the trailer right here. Looks pretty great! (Via)
  • Dude is spending a year in a car for no apparent reason. And of course, he's blogging about the experience. Guess what the blog is called? A Year in a Car for No Apparent Reason. (Via Jason)
  • Heh. These are neat: labels for Atari 2600 games that don't exist. (Via Retro Thing, via Jason)
