FILM
* First let's start off with the tweet from Director Bryan Singer saying Ian McKellen & Patrick Stewart will be back for the new X-Men movie. They will join the younger versions of Magneto and Professor X, Michael Fassbender & James McAvoy, somehow. X-Men: Days Of Future Past will hit our screens on July 18, 2014.
* Also of major importance is the release of the plot of the new Star Trek movie. No surprise here that director J.J. Abrams has created a far reaching plot with lots of twists and turns. See for yourself what you are in for: Star Trek Plot Synopsis Released. Thanks to Ali Plumb at EmpireOnline for the update.
TV
* If you were a Boy Meets World fan, then you will love this news: Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel(Topanga) have reunited as parents for the new Disney show Girl Meets World, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed.
GAMING
* The big gaming news this Xmas will no doubt be the new Wii U, but that doesn't mean everyone thinks it will be as groundbreaking as previous Nintendo consoles. To say having a touchscreen which you can control is not innovative is wild. The possibilities abound with this format. And, titles such as Call of Duty: Black Ops II will look better on the Wii U, according to Nintendo of America Inc.'s President. GTA V may even be coming to the Wii U. But that hasn't stopped Nolan Bushwell, famous founder of Atari, to say of the Wii U, “I don’t think it’s going to be a big success.” A great article, courtesy of Nick Wingfield at NYtimes, outlines in detail the negative perception Nintendo faces moving forward, and how this console may actually be able to do serious battle with all the new game formats out there. Check it out: Wii U Takes on the Gaming World.
MUSIC
* Soundgarden, lead by Chris Cornell, are reunited, and it looks like they will be doing relevant music, as opposed to many band reunions. They are a band with more grit than the Smashing Pumpkins, more individuality than Stone Temple Pilots, and more hard rock in them than Pearl Jam. Thanks to Mikael Wood at LAtimes for the interview on what really makes this great band tick. Article here: Soundgarden is Back...
