DirectTV First to Launch 3D Channel

Posted on

Just two days ago (December 28th), the company blasted a new satellite into orbit, which will give DirectTV the capacity to add a 3D channel and several additional HD channels. The satellite will be fully operational by March. The new 3D-HDTV broadcast will require people to purchase a new 3D compatible HD TV, many of which will be showcased at CES 2010, 3D glasses, and probably the new soon-to-be-available HDMI 1.4 adapters. DirectTV boxes will receive a firmware upgrade, so there won’t be need to change them.

So are you willing to buy a completely new 3D HD TV and all the equipment necessary just to enjoy one channel [at the moment] in 3D? Tell us if you think it’s worth it.

‘Teen Wolf’ TV Series Cast and Plot

Posted on

The original which starred Michael J. Fox as a high school student who discovers he is a werewolf, is a dramatic thriller with a buddy-comedy element at the center and a romantic plot line.

The TV series will revolve around Scott McCall (Posey), a dorky high-school student who gets a rush of new powers, including the ability to attract girls, after a wolf attack.

O’Brien will play Scott’s best friend who is initially dismissive of Scott’s theory that he was bitten by a wolf but then begins research on human-werewolf transformation. Reed will play a sweet new girl at school who is immediately smitten with Scott. Hoechlin will play a handsome local boy who in fact is a vicious and predatory werewolf capable of great harm.

Werewolf TV Series ‘Howl’ Coming to Fox

Posted on

 

The network has started developing a television show called none other than 'Howl' which is being written by Joshua Miller and MA Fortin. It is being described as an epic family saga about warring families of werewolves in a small Alaskan town. "Alaska is a place where people disappear and now you know why," said Miller.

The script reflects the changes that are going on in the country, and "metamorphosis and constant change is the basis of werewolf mythology," Miller added. "Howl" is about "the psychology of living with change."

John Barrowman Confirms New Torchwood Season

Posted on

 

With the dramatic endings of season three as well as 'Children of Earth,'  which aired on BBC America back in the spring in which we lost several Torchwood members, it's unclear exactly how Davies is going to revive the Torchwood organization. Captain Jack Harkness (Barrowman) himself had a dramatic departure, so it's pretty much a given that there will be a very dramatic return.

No official production date has been set for the return of the series, but creator Russell T Davies previously indicated he expected it to get started early in 2010.

Barrowman also told the programme that there were no current plans for Captain Jack Harkness to encounter the 11th Doctor, played by Matt Smith, who takes over the title role in Doctor Who from David Tennant in the New Year's Day special, The End of Time, Part 2.

 

 

‘True Blood’ Season Three Newbies

Posted on

First we have actress Shannon Lucio, who played Lindsay on 'The O.C.', she has been cast as Bill's wife Caroline, remember she's the one he didn't return to after being turned into a vampire during the Civil War. We have seen this character back in season one, and no this defiantly isn't the same actress. Apparently Caroline is a crucial factor for this season.

Next we have Marshall Allman who played LJ on 'Prison Break', has grabbed the role of Tommy, none oyher than Sam's younger brother. Year three be will delving very heavily into the Merlotte's family tree, and we should be getting some info on casting news for Sam's mother and father pretty soon.

Shannon Lucio Marshall Allman

I'm not so sure about these two newbies, but 'True Blood' has astounded us so far with their cast picks so hopefully they have made the right decision again, if not I'm sure they can be drained pretty quickly. As new info arises we will let you know.
