I really enjoyed Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and have been hoping for word that it was going to be brought back for a second season.  Sure, there were things to complain about but overall, I thought they did a great job.  My biggest complaint is that it was too damn short.  The show had just finally gotten it’s momentum and it was over.  Thankfully, as reported by The Hollywood reporter, the show is coming back and is returning this fall!  You can read the story here.

After a long wait, the 300 prop replicas from NECA are back in-stock and ready to ship out.  We have the 300 Helmet, King Leonidas Helmet, Spartan Sword, Immortal Swords and the Immortal Mask available.  Once they are sold out we will not be getting them in again.  Check them out at http://www.youbuynow.com/category/300_Prop_Replicas

Not much has been released about the upcoming Watchmen film but we are already getting sneak peaks at what the action figures for the movie might look like.  EW.com is reporting that DC Direct has put the finishing touches on the Watchmen action figures which they intend to debut at the New York Comic Con.  Here are images of two of them and they look pretty damn impressive to me.  I love their take on Nite Owl.

Variety is reporting that Dreamworks has acquired the rights to create a live action movie based on Masamune Shirow’s Ghost in the Shell property, and plans to make the movie in 3-D. Avi Arad (Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk) and Stephen Paul, who brought the project to Dreamworks, are set to produce. According to Variety there was a spirited bidding war with Universal and Sony also interested in acquiring Ghost in the Shell but “Steven Spielberg took a personal interest in the property and made it happen at Dreamworks.”

Spielberg told Variety, “Ghost in the Shell is one of my favorite stories, it’s a genre that has arrived and we enthusiastically welcome it to Dreamworks.” Dreamworks’ head of production Adam Goodman added: “Ghost in the Shell is a property that epitomizes 3-D live action motion picture possibilities.

If all this enthusiasm and high-powered backing translates to the film getting made, it should benefit sales of the Ghost in the Shell manga (published here by Dark Horse) as well as sales of the various Ghost in the Shell anime series (and features), which are mostly available from Manga Entertainment (Dreamworks has the Ghost in the Shell II: Innocence feature)

Stan Lee’s POW Entertainment along with Rainmaker Entertainment and Brighton Partners is launching a new super hero property called the Legion of 5.  There are no details on what it’s going to be about but so far they have raised $24 Million to get things started.  They are going to make a series of CG-animated filmes for the new property along with games, online and mobile releases.
