Who demanded a sequel to Tarsem Singh's The Cell? Whoever it was, he or she is even more sadistic than The Cusp, the serial killer/paramedic who keeps bringing his victims to the brink of death and then reviving them. It's mostly standard torture porn, only with the same psychic crap as the first movie. And there's this great snippet, where the serial killer turns her psychic powers back on her, using them to destroy her childhood memories somehow.

The Cell 2 came out on DVD a couple of days ago, so you know what you have to do.

Not that I had my doubts, but it's great to hear that the studio is going ahead with a third SG-1 DVD movie. The first two were pretty solid examples of where Stargate can go (given time and money). I especially enjoyed the character development that happened in Stargate Continuum.

Executive Producer Brad Wright confirmed to Gateworld.net that the movie would most likely begin this year and would continue to be a RDA-centric storyline. Which is exactly what the people want.

But don't worry, Atlantis fans: Producer Joseph Mallozzi promises that the Atlantis movie will also be made. In fact, he's hard at work on the script right now, with Paul Mulli, and hopes to have the draft done this April with a potential production in the fall. So thank goodness for that - I need a McKay fix.

All that's left is settling on a title, which I leave in your hands.

In Alien Raiders, Ritter and his team of rogue alien-hunters track an alien infestation to a supermarket and start trying to figure out which of the people inside have aliens in control. As you can see from the clips below, they have some unorthodox methods of alien detection. And it's up to one smart cop, who keeps his head in a crisis, to keep the situation from going bonkers.

Here's the trailer:

And here are a couple of clips:




Alien Raiders is out on DVD from Warner Bros. tomorrow.

The Outlander site denies any DVD talk but mentions a rather "small" theatrical release. Which usually means 15 screens, then the movie gets dumped to DVD. This would be a terrible idea, but this is what they say:

We'd like to reiterate that Outlander is *not* going direct to DVD. The nearest we can tell, no date has actually been set for the DVD release, so the Amazon listing is possibly spurious. Though they are taking preorders, don't expect to see the DVD come November 18th. And again, The Weinstein Company is contractually obligated to give Outlander a theatrical release. We don't yet know to what extent they'll do so (hopefully not on the level of Death Defying Acts), but we're hoping the reactions out of the fantasty filmfest spur them to action in this matter.

Would you buy the Outlander DVD? Or drive 100 miles to see it in the theater?

It might only be direct-to-DVD, but all the original castmembers (even the ones who died in the first movie) are stoked to come back. Browncoats, it's time to go back into OCD mode again. Go buy another three copies of the first Serenity and hand them out on the street. You know you want to. The rest of us can try to figure out what's up with Summer Glau's dress in this picture.
