At the moment, there’s no real news here, but the prospect is pretty darn interesting and worth discussion, for sure.

According to CHUD, sources have shared that producers of Scream 4 have actually spoken with none other Jamie Kennedy to come back in the role of Randy. The character was easily the most popular among fans of the franchise, and *SPOILER* (here and below; how have you not seen these movies?) most were pretty upset and angered when he didn’t make it past the second film, despite his tiny cameo in the third.

Again, this is all just ifs and maybes right now, but it’s an interesting enough possibility to think about. One would have to assume that the thought of Kennedy’s character returning would be the best news so far for some fans, and the worst news so far for other fans.

Samuel L. Jackson ventures into the world of creator-owned comics with Cold Space #1. Jackson and his Afro Samurai collaborator Eric Calderon have teamed up to tell the story of Mulberry, a space pirate in the year 4012. When the story begins, his ship is boarded by space cops intent on arresting him. Mulberry easily eludes them, and warp jumps to another area of space. His ship crash lands on a strange, corrupt planet, and the adventure really begins.

Mulberry, who is drawn to look like Samuel L. Jackson, is a totally cool character. He rarely gets flustered in combat, and his handling of the space cops was hilarious. One cop, Johnson, seemed to have a history with Mulberry. Their interaction implies a lot of potential backstory and future plot developments. Also, the inhabitants of the planet that Mulberry crashes on are also very colorful and are begging to be embellished. He encounters a very interesting motorcycle gang, corrupt businessmen, and rival gangs. The most interesting character visually is Patience, who we learn nothing about. We are thrown into the middle of Mulberry’s story with no explanation, but it only made me more curious to learn about him and to see how he deals with these situations.

Confirmed! Looks like that leaked ad for Gears of War 3 that was seen on Xbox live the other day spoke the truth. Cliff Bleszinski, design director at Epic Games, appeared on The Jimmy Fallon show this week, and confirmed that Gears of War 3 will launch next April. Epic has since given a firm release date of April 5th.

A trailer had appeared online briefly, but was immediately taken down at the request of Epic Games. When it’s officially released, we’ll have it here.

This will be the third and final installment of the popular Gears of War video game series, which is exclusive to Xbox 360. The end of Gears 2 hinted that there may be something more sinister around than just the locust hordes. In the interview with Bleszinski, it was revealed what that more sinister enemy is: the Lambit. Bleszinski said that these are “kind of crazy tentacle monsters that can mutate while you are fighting them.”

A cool little viral teaser trailer has been released on Flynn Lives, the website made for Disney’s highly-anticipated sequel, Tron: Legacy.

The trailer is for a little game called Space Paranoids, which comes from the Tron world but will soon become a reality for all. A special old-style arcade machine with the game was produced for the awesome Flynn’s Arcade that was created for Comic Con last year, but an announcement at Dragon*Con recently revealed that a new 15-level Space Paranoids will be available for all to play online.

Search your couch cushions for as many quarters as you can find and head over to the other side to watch the brief teaser of this classic Tron game you’ll be able to play soon!

Reports have surfaced stating that Pete Steele, frontman for Brooklyn-based metal band Type O Negative, died on the evening of April 14, 2010 from heart failure.

Rumors of Steele’s death first arose late Wednesday night on Facebook from posts by friends of the musician’s family who had been notified. Just before midnight, Fused TV VJ Juliya Chernetsky, aka Mistress Juliya, posted to her Twitter account confirming that the 48-year-old musician had died. “He passed of heart failure today. Just spoke to Kenny,” Chernetsky wrote, presumably referring to Steele’s Type O bandmate guitarist Kenny Hickey.

As of 2AM EST, no other information has surfaced and no official statements released. We’ll update this story as soon as more details are available.

[UPDATE: The reports have now been confirmed. See below for full updates. Statement to come from family and the band later today.]
