So I was getting caught up on my Sci-fi Weekly news and found two things of interest..ok on thing of interest and one of head shaking disappointment..gonna put it behind a cut...check it out.
On another note went and saw X-men 3 tonite....it rocked! I won't spoil anything in case you haven't seen it yet..BUT I do want to say if you do go see it..PLEASE sit there until the credits end! It will be worth it!!!!!!
Anne McCaffrey's best-selling and long-running SF book series The Dragonriders of Pern will be adapted for the big screen by Canadian production company Copperheart Entertainment, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Copperheart, which was behind the 2005 Oscar-winning animated short Ryan, has optioned the 19-book series, which began with Dragonflight in 1968. The books are best known for having humans ride dragons with which they telepathically bond. With Dragonflight, McCaffrey became the first woman ever to win a Hugo Award for fiction, and she is one of the 2006 inductees into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame.
Copperheart, run by Steve Hoban, also has produced the Imax 3-D movie Cyberworld.
Pern nearly came to TV in a 2001 series for The WB from Battlestar Galactica creator Ronald D. Moore, but the network pulled the plug on the pilot after Moore refused to make changes to the Pern mythos that he thought would harm its integrity.
The disappointing news....sci fi channel will start showing WRESTLING(ECW)on June 13th..stoopid people!!!!!!
