Timothy Olyphant in remake of Escape From New York?
I'm not sure how I feel about this. Much as I love Olyphant, Kurt Russell IS Snake Plissken. And it sounds like they're tweaking the premise, too.
Nice acronym, Mom!

New SyFy movie: Mega Python vs. Gatoroid. Starring Debbie Gibson as an advocate for animal rights who accidentally helps create super-sized snakes, and Tiffany as a park ranger trying to save endangered alligators in the Everglades.
I kept looking for the April Fools announcement.

Aren't Debbie Gibson and Tiffany in the same movie a sign of the Popocalypse?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My mind wants to picture Gatoroid as a mascot for some sports drink....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I might have missed this while I was semi-offline for two days - SyFy Wire's most anticipated SF films of 2011.
Both "SF" and "anticipated" here being used quite loosely, since Twilight is on the list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They are so wrong. End of story. Yikes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I get a twitch when people refer to The Thing from 1982 as "the original." It was a remake! Like The Fly ! I haven't even seen it, but I still twitch at the inaccuracy. It's on its way to me from Netflix, however.
I am anticipating several of those films.

But it was much closer to the original story.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My exDH worked on that. His dad is a glaciologist and the arctic stuff was shot at their camp on a glacier outside Juneau. His main memory was of the dog trainer (Rob Weatherwax, son of the trainer of Lassie) smoking pot and complained about how much he hated Lassie.

Aww man, Canadian actress Tracy Wright died.
I met her a few years ago when Monkey Warfare premiered in Boston. Her husband and collaborator Don McKellar gave me a vinyl copy of the soundtrack (because I was one of the few people in the audience who said they owned a turntable), and they both autographed it for me.
