It wasn’t long ago when news came out that the TV adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s novel, American Gods, was let go by HBO. They said that the writing for the project wasn’t up to par for the standard they wanted for the show, and thus, it didn’t pan out.
Doctor Who super-fan and current Doctor, Peter Capaldi, is not only taking inspiration from earlier Doctors, but apparently also from the most timeless in all creation: David Bowie. According to sources, Capaldi has a scrapbook of ideas, which included using Bowie as a template for his version of the Doctor.
The currently filming Terminator: Genesis film had a slight change in title: Terminator. It is a reboot that makes perfect sense; the franchise played with alternate timelines for years. Emilia Clarke of Game of Thrones stars as Sarah Connor. Jai Courtney joins as Kyle Reese. And yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger is back as the Terminator. Alan Taylor (also of Game of Thrones) directs.
BBC released yet another Doctor Who teaser, giving us another glimpse of Peter Capaldi in the role. He already seems so different from earlier incarnations regenerations.
GET TO DA CHOPPA!

Did the news settle yet? Rian Johnson, best known for either Looper or some of the strongest episodes of Breaking Bad, has taken up the directing and writing duties for Star Wars: Episode VIII. He will also write the treatment for Episode IX.
Yes, you read that right. Production began for the first season of Better Call Saul and it’s already a go for a second season. Breaking Bad was a proven success, so it’s pretty much a given that the spinoff will have an audience.
