Prince Charles Prefers Doing Royal Things To Being On Doctor Who

Russell Davies, Who guy, told fans that Prince Charles refused to appear on Doctor Who. Davies then called him a "miserable swine." It's not related in the story if he said it with a hint of devilish mischief. Either way, I bet the royals don't take kindly to that kind of talk. There goes Davies' dukedom.

Poor Jerks Who Did Surface Trying Argonauts

Josh and Jonas Pate are the poor jerks who keep trying and trying to do cool sci-fi stuff on TV, and now they are whomping up a pilot for a Jason and the Argonauts series for NBC. They created Surface, which was cancelled on a cliffhanger, and G vs E, which ended even though I thought it was pretty cool.

It's pushed it as the first-ever green screen drama developed for prime time. Sanctuary is all up in the green screen, and it aired in prime time on Sci Fi a couple of weeks ago. Maybe they mean first-ever green screen drama developed for prime time by NBC. Too bad. Forgot about Mandrell Sisters Variety Hour.

300 Sequel Now Less Fictional

People loved the green screen in 300 so much the movie people want another one, so, lo and behold, there will be one, but first Frank Miller has to write a comic book about a real battle that happened after Thermopylae. Sure, they could make one up, but that would be historically incorrect, like 8-pack abs.

Forever War In Just A Little While

Ridley Scott is doing Joe Haldeman's Forever War. First he was going to do Brave New World, but now he's doing this first, after Nottingham.

Haldeman told i09 about making movies out of his books, which I have to imagine he'd be into, because he could buy a sweet new sectional for the den.

A report said the producers "will hire a writer immediately." What about some hot actor first? Priorities, people!
