This does bring up an interesting point: where are all the force-sensitive kids Luke and Leia's age during the original trilogy? Did the emperor pull a Pharoh and have them all killed? Are they just stranded on boondock worlds on the outer rim, feeling like they missed something, stuck on their Uncle's moisture farm through the whole rebellion? There should be a ghost generation of Jedi-- kids who become ronin Jedi because they have the power but not the skill or training.
Think I may have found Lucus' next trllogy.

I'm not sure what the big deal is about Amy's police uniform. After all, Jill Valentine wasn't exactly demure...

Also, I note a distinct lack of Heath Ledger's name in the Dr. Parnassus trailer, despite his face clearly being visible.

While all the filming was going on in Llandaff/Leadsworth, the TARDIS has been sitting in a pile of shrubbery since Monday!
Yes, this *is* the Series 4 TARDIS, so it can't get totally destroyed during the final Tennant special.
Apparently, the TARDIS crashes through a garden shed and skids across the lawn before coming to rest where it is. and set reports confirm that there has been smoke pouring out of it at various times.
Matt and Karen are seen running from it (well, Karen practically drags him) while Amy says "Come on!" and The Doctor keeps trying to run back to the TARDIS shouting "I must save her!"
Back in Llandaff, a scene was shot with The Doctor, Amy, and Rory where they look up at the sky (presumably at the CGI "spaceship" that other people were filmed watching earlier) then a dog barks, and Matt goes towards the beer garden, and begins talking down to something on the ground (presumably the dog, or something else to be CGIed in later).
He says "Hello, Prisoner X" and then we hear something about a "Level 20 planet scanning the earth" and "6 billion people."
Also, Richard Curtis has revealed that Van Gogh is the historical figure featured in the story he is writing. He also states, again, that it will be on TV during February.

The term "terrarium" has popped up quite frequently, and is even part of the town's motto and crest.
It's possible that "Angulus Terarrium" is just a misspelling of "Angulus Terrarum", which means "quiet corner of the earth" and "land of angles" (and old name for England)
However, given the attention to set detail, perhaps it has a more sinister connotation...

On that note: WTF? No human farms? No breeding programs? Seriously?
Finally, it would be cool if they delved into the other side of this "cure" idea sort of like they did in X3. "Curing" vampirism means there's something wrong with being a vampire. Wassup with dat?
