Vin Diesel for Kojak!

It looks like Universal is finally moving ahead with the big-screen adaptation of Kojak with Vin Diesel playing the main part and Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (Skyfall) penning the script. Diesel will also produce the movie. Man, Universal loves him a lot, don't they? I mean, he's heading their most successful franchise, Fast & Furious, after all!

I think he will be great in the part. He definitely has the looks, charisma and voice to pull it off. Now just to hope the script is good *crosses fingers* I wasn't at all enamored with Skyfall, it had its moments but as a whole, it was a dud for me. Let's hope the writers do better with Kojak.

Oh, Mr. DeKnight...

... Never change :P

Q: I can't wait for Spartacus to return for my weekly dose of blood and bodies! Any scoop on what this version of Julius Caesar will be like? -- Kyle

A: This is not your mama's Caesar! The series introduces us to him before he became a great statesman and general. Looking like a young Brad Pitt -- shaggy, buff, charismatic and a little bit crazy -- Caesar (newcomer Todd Lasance) will reveal that he's somewhat impetuous, has a keen mind but also (surprise!) has a bloody shocking sexual kink.

LOL! Like, LOL! Steven DeKnight knows no shame when it comes to his characters - and it's GOOD so! You rock, Mr. Exec!

Hugh Jackman confirmed for XMDOFP

According to various sources, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine is now officially confirmed to appear in the XMFC sequel X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Well... I like Jackman's Wolverine, I just hope he won't take over the story - because that's what happened with the first 3 X-Men movies and now there are two Wolverine-centric films... Can't this series, XMFC and its (possibly more than one) sequel, be Charles and Erik centric? It's starting to feel like Bryan Singer's flooding the movie with characters a la X3. I don't want a repeat of THAT. THAT would break my heart into itty-bitty pieces.
