With the next Hobbit film, The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug, on the way next month, the folks over at Air New Zealand put together an uplifting video showing “just another day in Middle-earth.”

Check out the video here below.

Filmmaker Peter Jackson shot The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings trilogies in his native New Zealand and parts of the country have provided the vast landscape for J.R.R Tolkien’s Middle-Earth since 2001’s The Fellowship of the Ring. If you journey to New Zealand (a dream of mine!), you can actually see Hobbiton, which was reconstructed for The Hobbit movies, this time making permanent structures so that there will be a piece of Middle-earth there long after the film crew departs.

The $11 t-shirt deal of the day over at TeeFury today is called “King Of Kings” by wetbrain and is a Breaking Bad Heisenberg-themed shirt that glows in the dark!

The sale began at Teefury today, Wednesday, November 20, 2013, at midnight EST, and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it will not be sold on the site for $11 anymore, though it will continue into the next day for $14 (look for the After Hours bar at the top).

If you happened to catch Machete Kills during its brief theatrical run (and few did – $13.5 million in worldwide box office and it opened at #4 behind Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 in its third week) you might have noticed a “Grindhouse”-style fake trailer for a planned third installment of Robert Rodriguez‘ Tex-Mex action series starring Danny Trejo as a pissed-off former Federale who kills bad people with really sharp objects playing before and after the flick.

Now that trailer has been released online, and you can check out the deranged glory of Machete Kills Again…In Space! here below.

It’s been quite a while now since we found out that Frank Darabont was fired by AMC from his position as showrunner of The Walking Dead. This after only one season of a show he developed for five years; of a show he talked Andrew Lincoln and Jon Bernthal into starring in; of a show that would become explosively popular on its way to becoming one of AMC’s biggest shows of all time, joining titles like Breaking Bad and Mad Men. Darabont has been busy since then working on his next project, Mob City, which looks fantastic and is set to debut on TNT December 4th.

But one thing we’ve never heard is a comment from Darabont himself on the drama that unfolded. Now that changes, with the Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, and The Mist director finally sharing his thoughts. And as you might have imagined, he’s not at all pleased with how things went down.

Good news for fans of Guillermo del Toro and the horror book trilogy he wrote with Chuck Hogan, titled The Strain, as it has been announced that FX has ordered the TV adaptation to full series.

A little over a year ago we found out that the show was being developed by del Toro and LOST showrunner Carlton Cuse. Production on the pilot just finished up, and FX liked what they saw enough to greenlight a full 13-episode season, which will premiere in July of 2014.
