| Reminder: ‘Kröd Mändoon And The Flaming Sword Of Fire’ Starts Tonight! |

If you watch TV at all, you’ve probably seen previews for Comedy Central’s new show, Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire. The show takes the comedy that’s obviously fitting for the network and places it in a very fantastical, very Lord of the Rings type of world. In case you haven’t seen previews or forgot all about it, we’re here to remind you all to check it out tonight…it should be a good time. The show stars Sean Maguire, who’s best known as the dude who says “You got served!” in the trailer for Meet the Spartans, but there’s no doubt Kröd Mändoon will be much, much more entertaining. Here’s the show’s press release and description: What is that strange burning sensation? It’s “ Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire,” COMEDY CENTRAL’s epic half-hour, live-action series chronicling the adventures of Kröd Mändoon (Sean Maguire) and his hopelessly inept band of freedom fighters in an ancient fantasy realm. Marking the all-comedy network’s first foray into fantasy-comedy, the groundbreaking series premieres on Thursday, April 9 at 10:00 p.m. marked by a special one-hour episode with limited commercial interruptions. Narrated by Chris Parnell (“30 Rock”), the series follows reluctant hero, Kröd Mändoon (Maguire, “Meet the Spartans”), a thin-skinned and underconfident freedom fighter, who is the last great hope in the struggle against the evil ruler, Chancellor Dongalor (Matt Lucas, “Little Britain USA”).

| George Lucas WWII Movie ‘Red Tails’ Gathers A Cast |

In case you’ve never heard of it, George Lucas has had a movie called Red Tails that he’s wanted to make for many, many years now. This movie would be set in World War II and tell the story of the Tuskegee Airmen. Now, it’s beginning to look like Lucas finally has the pieces that he’s been waiting for to move forward on the project. The newest additions to the cast are WWII movie veteran Cuba Gooding Jr. and rapper/actor Method Man. They join a cast that already includes the former War Machine-to-be Terrence Howard, Breaking Bad‘s Bryan Cranston, Ne-Yo, and a chunk of the cast of The Wire in Tristan Wilds, Rick Otto, Michael B. Jordan and Stacie Davis. The movie is to be directed by Anthony Hemingway, who has all kinds of TV show experience, but little in the world of film. He’s been heavily involved in The Wire (explaining the group of cast from the show being used here), acting as Director for two of the episodes as well as an Assistant Director on 23 other episodes. He’s also directed episodes of ER, CSI (NY and Miami), True Blood, Heroes, and Battlestar Galactica. Click over for a quote from George Lucas and an official film description.

| New 3-D ‘Toy Story,’ ‘Toy Story 2’ Re-Release Information |

Disney has shared some new information on the upcoming 3-D re-release of two of the most important movies in the evolution of computer animated movies — Toy Story and Toy Story 2. On October 2, 2009 for a limited time, you will have the opportunity to run out to theaters and see the cherished pair of movies together in double-feature fashion. The re-release is for everyone to experience the two movies for the first time with their new 3-D makeover — a makeover that many older animated movies are getting, including Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Another reason this is being done, is to get folks more excited than they already are (which is tough to do) for the highly-anticipated June 18, 2010 3-D return of Buzz, Woody, and the rest of the gang in Toy Story 3. The first teaser trailer for Toy Story 3 is expected to be shown at the double feature event in October as well (instead of the usual Summer before tradition), in case you needed another reason to go. The third installment is directed by Lee Unkrich, who was a co-director on the first two films.

In another exciting cinematic event announcement, Disney has informed the world that their new half live-action, half motion capture take on the classic Alice in Wonderland tale will be presented in IMAX 3-D along with its regular wide theatrical release on March 5, 2010. Alice in Wonderland is directed by Tim Burton and stars Mia Wasikowska as Alice, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, Crispin Glover as the Knave of Hearts, Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar, and Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. It is based on the story by Lewis Carroll. President of Disney Studios Motion Picture Group, Mark Zoradi had this to say about the announcement: If ever there was a film that cried out to be presented in Disney Digital 3D(TM) and the premium IMAX 3D format, Tim Burton’s fantastic interpretation of Alice in Wonderland is that film. This is going to be an eye-popping cinematic experience as Tim takes moviegoers down the rabbit hole and into the dimensional world filled with incredible characters, sly humor, and wild adventures. Disney’s partnership with IMAX is taking shape with two amazing films already on the schedule. We look forward to working with them in bringing exciting new experiences and quality entertainment to IMAX screens around the world.
