Land Of The Lost:

Here's a new still from Land Of The Lost, showing Will Ferrell and another glimpse of those naughty Sleestaks. Naughty! (Click to enlarge.) [MoviesOnline]

Dragonball:

The Japanese poster for Dragonball includes our first look at Justin Chatwin in full costume as Goku. [SuperheroFlix]

Watchmen:

And here are a couple of new pictures from the movie of Alan Moore's classic graphic novel Watchmen. One is a Vargas-esque pin-up illustration of Carla Gugino as Sally Jupiter from the 1940s (possibly NSFW due to see-through top). And the other is a photo of the Minutemen superhero team in their prime.
[AintItCool News and Warner Bros.]

Virtuality:

Battlestar Galactica showrunner Ronald D. Moore's new TV movie/pilot Virtuality, about astronauts stuck on a long-haul space voyage with only virtual reality headsets for company, is sort of like a late 21st century office show. It contrasts the claustrophobia of the deep-space ship Phaeton with the open expanses the astronauts can visit in virtual reality. There'll be three layers to the storytelling, each with its own visual style: the claustrophobic ship, the virtual world, and the reality TV show the astronauts are starring in. And there's a gay relationship (the bickering Manny and Val) that's as honest and multi-dimensional as anything on TV. [Chicago Tribune and AfterElton and Chicago Tribune again]

Battlestar Galactica:

Apollo spends some time running around with a bunch of extras, shooting people, in the final episode of Battlestar Galactica. (At least, that was the last thing he filmed.) [E! Online]

Fringe:

Here are a couple of new trailers for Fringe, J.J. Abrams' new evil-science show:

Lost:

Malcolm David Kelley, the no-longer-little kid who plays Walt on Lost, is not "on call" to appear as the character in season five. But he says he still could pop up next season, you never know. [Lost Spoilers]

Heroes:

The Heroes good guys will spend more time having their paths cross this season. We'll discover that there are people who are way worse than Sylar. We'll see the rise of a power that all our heroes have to band together to keep from running wild. Something scary happens to Claire, which changes her and sets up the possible future where she becomes evil bad-hair Claire. She's also becoming more of a rebellious teenager, and has reached that stage where you'd ask permission, but then go ahead and do whatever you wanted anyway. West is gone for good, and Claire has no new love interest in sight.

Peter is "not quite himself" in season three, and a newly introduced character has a lot to do with the change in him. And even though he's the most powerful of the Heroes doods, he's heading for a fall.

Ando and Hiro travel all over the planet in the first five episodes. Also, Ando is secretly Nathan and Peter's half-brother — but I think the actors might have been kidding about that. [E! Online]

Smallville:

As we've mentioned, Jimmy asks Chloe to marry him, and she eventually says yes. But not before her love life gets very complicated. She won't be wanting for a date, in any case. And while she'll still be there to save Clark when he's in trouble, there won't be any romance between Chloe and Clark. Jimmy also faces some major challenges.

Clark, meanwhile, is starting to realize he needs a "double identity" if he's going to move forward with his heroic destiny. We may see Clark get those trademark glasses, but not in the way you'd expect. We'll see less of Clark's Kryptonian heritage, although he can never fully escape it. [TV Guide]

Sarah Connor Chronicles:

Here's a new promo for season two of the Terminator spin-off TV show. Also, it sounds like the show may be adding a new regular character, a twenty-ish female resistance fighter who will do anything for the cause. [SarahConnorSociety via SpoilerTV]

Chuck:

And here's a new trailer for Chuck, the show about the minor-league nerd with the spy database in his brain.

Dragonball:

The Dragonball live-action movie follows a boy named Goku, who tries to fulfill his dying grandpa's request to find a great master and unite seven balls of power, to prevent an alien's rise to power. Jamie Chung (Samurai Girl) plays Chi Chi, a strong female character with martial arts skills. [Sci Fi Wire]

Star Wars: Clone Wars:

Here are a couple of new TV spots for the upcoming Clone Wars animated movie. [KamuiWeb]

X-Files 2:

Neither Scully nor Mulder dies at the end of X-Files: I Want To Believe. The movie focuses on the power of their relationship, and the final scene is just the two of them together, says co-writer Frank Spotnitz. [NJ.com]

Battlestar Galactica:

Right before Battlestar Galactica wrapped filming, fans noticed a Baltar/Six scene filming downtown in Vancouver. It featured Baltar wearing a suit and Six in her va-va-voom red dress, with really big hair. So it's probably a head-Baltar/Six scene. It had lots of extras wandering around them, but probably wasn't taking place on Caprica. [Television Without Pity forums]

Life On Mars:

More details about how the American Life On Mars alters the storyline of the British cult hit about a cop who time travels via head injury. The new producers hinted that we'll learn that Sam Tyler definitely isn't in a coma, or at least there may be more to it than that. "If he was ultimately just in a coma, or it was all a dream, it felt unsatisfying," says executive producer Josh Appelbaum. "So we made it a deeper mystery."

In the second episode, Sam writes on the blackboard 13 different possible explanations for his time-traveling, including the idea that he's on "a separate plane of reality." We won't have to worry about Sam changing the future through his travel back to 1973, because it's not really a time-travel show. Or maybe it is. But really it's something "much deeper" than time travel. I'm actually hoping, for the first time, that the U.S. version doesn't get cancelled after a week, because it'll be entertaining to see where they go with taking the simplicity of the British version and making it "deeper." [Sci Fi Wire]

The Sarah Jane Adventures:

The new producer of the kid-friendly Doctor Who spinoff, Nikki Smith, revealed some more details about the second season. After Maria and her dad move out of Sarah Jane's neighborhood in the first story, the Chandra family moves in to their house. The daughter, Rani, wants to be a journalist and looks up to Sarah Jane. But it doesn't sound as though Rani is THE Rani or anything. Also, a "rogue" Sontaran appears in both the first and last stories of the season, and the evil Miss Wormwood's return happens in the final story. (Which is the one with the Brigadier.) Bradley Walsh plays an alien who has three identities. And the Doctor may indeed show up. [SFX]

Heroes:

Peter gets a bullet in the back of the head (probably from when Future Claire shoots him). And whoever Ali Larter's playing this week gets her throat slashed, with tons of blood everywhere. Also, when Hiro stops time, his speedster nemesis Daphne just slows to normal speed. (I was wondering how that was going to work.) And here's a new pic of Hiro and Daphne. [Heroes The Series]

And Hayden Panettiere hinted that she plays two characters in the upcoming season — presumably present Claire and Future Evil Claire. She may not be the only person who gets to have an evil doppleganger. [Show Biz Spy]

Chuck:

Here's the first picture of Nicole Richie as Sarah's old high-school rival, from an upcoming episode of Chuck. (Click to enlarge.) [Entertainment Weekly, via Chuck Online]

Stargate Atlantis:

In the 16th episode of the current Stargate Atlantis season, "Brain Storm," Rodney McKay has a reunion with his old school frenemy, Malcolm Tunney, who's gone on to fame and fortune. Meanwhile, Rodney hasn't published in years and can't tell anyone what he really does. Rodney brings Dr. Jennifer Keller back to Earth as his "date" for Tunney's scientific presentation, in a secret desert facility. Tunney is about to test a device so important, the room is full of big-wigs. But some of Tunney's colleagues have warned of disastrous consequences should he activate the device. He switches it on, and the room's temperature drops — it seems like the device is a weather-controller, which could help to combat global warming. Everybody applauds, until they realize the device can't be shut down, and it endangers the lives of everyone there. [Spoiler Geeks]

Lost:

A few more tidibits about Lost season five. Actor Harold Perrineau was annoyed his character, Michael, was killed off, but the producers promise the show will be an "equal opportunity murderer" in the future, killing lots of white people. [TenGossip]

Knight Rider:

Another batch of Knight Rider script pages have gotten leaked, for the episode "A Hard Day's Knight." The Feds intercept a kid carrying a briefcase, but it turns out not to be the briefcase they're looking for — someone is being tricky and using the kid as a distraction. The feds need to get their hands on a bad guy who smuggled stolen National Security Agency intelligence to North Korea. Mike wears a Mission Impossible-style mask to meet the evil courier, pretending to be someone else, and then gets the drop on him.

Then Mike has to go undercover as the courier to get the goods on his bosses. Mike has to use KITT's technical wizardry to put on the courier's voice and fake the courier's retinal scans. They give Mike the case containing the "goods," but then they inject him with a hypodermic needle in the neck! The bad guy, Ash, explains that he's ensured Mike's loyalty by poisoning him! Oh noes! He has three hours before his nervous system shuts down, and he doesn't get the antidote until he makes the drop. Worst yet, Mike may have to miss a wedding he's supposed to go to with Sarah, his not-really-a-girlfriend.

Mike is struggling to complete his mission as the poison drains his strength. Wearing his Mission Impossible mask again, he has to get a ladies' purse from a coat check, and feels all embarrassed. He's searching through a crowded convention center, using computer vision that makes him all confused and wigged out, looking for his target. And his concentration is going. He finally identifies his target: a rich inspirational speaker named Damien Richards, founder and CEO of Innovative Technologies. Mike can barely walk, but luckily KITT has escape routes planned and is going to come get him. Mike shoots Richards and runs away.

Two police officers show up. KITT advises him against engaging in a physical confrontation in his weakened state, but he says "too late" and decks both cops with brutal efficiency. The murder of Damien Richards is all over the news. Worst yet, there may not be any antidote for the poison. But then it turns out that Mike didn't really kill that Richards guy — it was fake blood. Phew! The fake blood tastes like cherries.

Later, Sarah and someone named Rivai corner Ash and demand the antidote at gunpoint. Rivai says right now Ash is only facing attempted murder of a government agent, but if Mike dies it becomes actual real murder, for reals. Ash pulls out a vial, but then smashes it on the ground! Nooo! Sarah soaks up some of the liquid using her shirt and then gives it to KITT the supercar to analyze. [Spoiler TV]

Thanks to Lauren Davis for research help.

The Dark Knight:

The Hollywood Reporter review of The Dark Knight explains some plot points. The Hong Kong sequence in the movie isn't just about Batman tracking down the mob's bag-man, Lau. Sal Maroni (Eric Roberts) also takes refuge with a Hong Kong gangster, with Batman on his heels. But when Batman takes the Triad gangster down, Maroni flees back to Gotham and turns to his last hope: the psychopathic Joker. And yes, the Joker's aim is to bring the Batman over to the side of chaos. [Hollywood Reporter]

Plus some new TV spots include even more Joker-isms: "Never start with the head. The victim gets all fuzzy." "I don't want to kill you! What would I do without you?" "I'm a guy of simple taste. I enjoy dynamite, gunpowder, and gasoline!" Plus Bruce Wayne kicking much ass without wearing the mask.

Star Wars: Clone Wars:

Star Wars fansite TheForce.net has posted a complete synopsis for the Clone Wars movie, which opens August 15 and is also the first three episodes of the new animated TV series. Here's a quick summary:

Obi-Wan and Anakin are fighting the droid army on the planet Christophsis, when Yoda sends them a new Padawan: Ahsoka Tano. At first, they think she's Obi-Wan's new student, but it turns out she's Anakin's instead. She tells them to return to the Jedi temple at once, but first they have to take out the droid army. Anakin and Ahsoka smash the droids' shield generator, while Obi-Wan and Captain Rex fight the spider droids of general Whorm Loathsom. (Yes, that's really his name.) Obi-Wan pretends to surrender, but tricks Loathsom and takes him prisoner, just as Anakin and Ahsoka complete their mission.

Then Yoda turns up and tells them Jabba the Hutt's son Rotta has been kidnapped. Anakin and Ahsoka have to travel to the planet Teth to lead the rescue mission, while Obi-Wan meets with Jabba on Tatooine. Jabba tells Obi-Wan he wants his "punky muffin" back. (No, really. Punky muffin.) And Anakin and Ahsoka discover separatist battle-droids behind the muffin's kidnapping. The Jedi duo have to scale a vertical cliff, with AT-TEs, fighting the droids all the way. They head to the dungeon to rescue Rotta, but the evil Asajj Ventress is waiting for them. She tells Count Dooku everything is going according to plan, and then she asks Anakin if he knows he's walking into a trap. He's like, duh, yeah.

In spite of that, they find Rotta, leading to a "comedy scene" involving a wet baby Hutt. But Rotta is ill, and he'll die without urgent help.

Meanwhile, Dooku visits Jabba and shows him footage of Anakin and Ahsoka putting a sobbing, sick baby Hutt into a backpack. The video is edited to make it look as though the Jedi kidnapped the punky muffin in the first place. Dooku offers to get the kid back, in exchange for an alliance with Jabba. But Anakin and Obi-Wan have figured out Dooku's plan, and they decide to get Rotta back to Jabba before he dies on them. Too bad "vulture droids" have destroyed Anakin's ship, and battle droids are attacking.

They flee, but Asajj Ventress blocks their escape, first by pretending to be Captain Rex (?) and then by attacking them. Anakin and Asajj fight, and then R2D2 sends them all falling through a hole in the floor. They fight and fight and fight. Meanwhile, Ahsoka tries to get Rotta out of there, but finds herself facing a rancor... which eventually collapses on top of Asajj after being hit with lightsabers and lasers. Rotta throws up and nearly hits Anakin, hilarity ensues.

Then our heroes almost get away, but the vulture droids destroy their spaceship... again. Finally, Obi-Wan shows up with a Star Destroyer, and the ever-sicker Rotta points to a hidden ship on a mountain top: the Twilight. Anakin grabs a a sort of flying insect thingy and flies down to the others. Asajj attacks again, but has to flee when the landing pad collapses. So our heroes finally get away. Rotta burps. More fighting with battle droids.

Finally, Asajj decides to grab Rotta and return him to Jabba herself, to win him over to the Separatist cause. Obi-Wan shows up, and they fight.

Finally, Anakin and Ahsoka get to the Twilight and take off. But Obi-Wan's Star Destroyer thinks they're another enemy ship, and there's a wacky misunderstanding. And then then the Star Destroyer is damaged when a Separatist fighter crashes into its hangar bay. So they have to fly Rotta home aboard the Twilight.

Asajj contacts Jabba and tells him Rotta is dead, and the Jedi are heading to Tatooine to attack him. Dooku promises to take care of those Jedi for Jabba. When the Twilight arrives at Tatooine, some droids attack. The ship is damaged, and crash lands, so the heroes have to walk to Jabba's castle. Meanwhile, Padmé Amidala meets with Jabba's uncle Ziro and tries to convince him the Jedi are on the level. No luck, but then she spies on him meeting with Dooku. She's hauled off to Jabba's dungeon.

Dooku and Anakin fight, while more droids attack Ahsoka, who's carrying the punky muffin. Anakin steals Dooku's hover-bike and runs off to rescue Ahsoka. Jabba is about to execute Padmé, when clone troopers show up and rescue her. And take Ziro prisoner.

Anakin confronts Jabba and holds his light saber to Jabba's throat. Then Ahsoka runs in with the punky muffin. Jabba's delighted... but still wants the Jedi killed. They fight Jabba's guards, until the captive Uncle Ziro calls and admits he was involved in the kidnapping. Jabba finally agrees to an alliance with the Republic. Anakin and Padmé have a moment. Dooku says curses, etc.

G.I. Joe:

There may actually be two versions of Destro, the masked villain, in the G.I. Joe movie. David Murray, who was originally slated to play the present-day Destro but had to bail out due to visa issues, will still play Destro's ancestor, who also wore the menacing mask. And Christopher Eccleston, of course, will play the present-day Destro. [IESB]

Dragonball:

Here are some new Dragonball pics that appeared in Japan's Jump SQ magazine. [DBTheMovie]

Heroes:

More hints that serial killer Sylar is turning good on superhero soap opera Heroes. Also, another suggestion that slack-jawed polymath Peter Petrelli may be turning evil — and it looks like he gets a wicked slash across his forehead. [E! Online]

And here are two new promos that show Sylar in restraints and Knox busting out of his cell. Level 5 is the only place that can hold the baddies... until it doesn't any more. Also, Sylar says: "Hello, Claire."

Battlestar Galactica:

Here's a video from the BSG wrap party that supposedly includes some spoilers for the second half of season four. There seems to be some shots of people running around in a field, maybe on Earth. (Or it could be Kobol, from the filming of season two?) I honestly can't make out a word anybody is saying. Can anyone out there lip read? [Galactia Sitrep]

The Galactica TV movie, to be shot this September, will be set during season one, says Aaron Douglas, who's probably going to be in it. [Livejournal via Galactica Sitrep]

Doctor Who:

Is it really a spoiler to say that David Tennant will play the Doctor in the Christmas special and the 2009 specials? Well, he will. [Daily Express]

Stargate:

More details about the direct-to-DVD movie Stargate Continuum, coming out July 29: the SG-1 crew are attending the execution of the last System Lord, Ba'al, but then they're suddenly transported back to Earth in an alternate timeline, without Vala or Teal'c. A fleet of Goa'uld motherships soon shows up, led by none other than Ba'al, Queen Qetesh and First Prime Teal'c. (Vala only shows up at the beginning and end of the DVD, but we see lots of her Goa'uld counterpart Qetesh.)

In this alternate timeline, Ba'al managed to take over the System Lords by promising Teal'c to free the Jaffa. The only System Lord who still resists Ba'al is Apophis, who's killed by having the top of his head sliced off. Some Goa'uld who are dead in the regular timeline turn up, including Ra, Camulus, Lord Hu, Nirrti and Kronos. The late Don Davis turns up as Gen. Hammond. So does Brigadier General Jack O'Neill, but he dies early on. (But then we see Jack's alternate self later.) Some nice moments include a meeting with General Landry, a Daniel calling his alternate self, and some cool shots of the nuclear sub and F-15s. Also, the look on Ba'al's face, going from happy to shocked, when Mitchell shoots him in the head. [TFW 2005 forum]

Stargate Atlantis' new leader, Richard Woolsey, is an abrasive, by-the-book bureaucrat. He has trouble with the city's technology at first, and can barely open the doors. By the second episode, he's already broken protocol five times during his first crisis, and has to recognize that the rulebook doesn't always apply. [Sci Fi Wire]

A minor Stargate Atlantis spoiler: Renegade leader Larrin (Jill Wagner) may return to the Stargate SG-1 spin-off... but not until season six in 2009. [SliceofScifi]

In the third episode of the new season, "Broken Ties," Ronon comes under the spell of the Wraith and the team meet an old adversary in the process of rescuing him. In the fourth episode, "The Daedalus Variations," the team finds a ship's log of a captain of the Daedalus, who abandoned ship. He's not someone the team recognizes, so they investigate. And in "Ghost In The Machine," the Replicators try to take over Atlantis when they find a way to ascend. Weir is with them. [SpoilerTV]

Smallville:

In the first episode of Smallville season eight, we'll see an unshaven Clark, since months have elapsed since the previous episode. Also, in the second episode, we will indeed meet the explosive Quebec separatist Plastique. In this version, she's a 15-year-old street kid, who's injured in an explosion, and then Chloe invites Plastique to move in with her. (Chloe's already out of the stir by this time.) [Kryptonsite]

Incredible Hulk 2:

The Incredible Hulk sequel (if it happens) will feature Sam Sterns, aka the Leader, as its main villain — to the surprise of nobody, since the first film clearly set Sterns up for that role. [Entertainment Weekly]

Transformers 2:

Just how badly do you want to see what Arcee, Transformers 2's pink motorcycle robot, looks like in her "vehicle mode"? Badly enough to wade through a four-minute music video about Michael Bay and how much he rocks our universe? Well then, this is your lucky day. There's a few seconds of Arcee goodness (around 3:22) in this otherwise paintastic video. [TFW2005]

And hey, here are some incredibly boring set photos, including Sam Witwicky's frat house! [The Faded Silver Screen]

Battlestar Galactica:

The Battlestar Galactica season finale got a sneak preview in L.A. the other night, and someone posted a full recap. Since by the time you read this, you'll be able to watch the whole episode over at SciFi.com (showing hourly from 9 to 4 EST) I'm not going to bother retyping the whole summary, but it's here. [Sci Fi Heaven]

Wanted:

Fox, the character Angelina Jolie plays in Wanted, is unhappy because her father was killed, and she's obsessed with the assassin's code she lives by. Fox doesn't talk much — mostly because Jolie insisted on editing most of her character's dialog out of the script.

Dragonball:

Some new Dragonball photos have cropped up. There's also a leaked script, but apparently it's a fake. [Dragonball Movie Blog]

Fringe:

Here's a behind-the-scenes video for Fringe, J.J. Abrams' new evil-science-conspiracy show, including some new footage from the pilot. [Spoiler Geeks]

The Middleman:

In the fourth Middleman episode, airing June 30, Wendy goes to train with Sensei Ping, a martial arts master. But Ping gets kidnapped by Lucha Libre wrestlers seeking revenge. The Middleman goes looking for Ping — and gets captured too. So it's up to Wendy to rescue them both. [Spoiler TV]

Doctor Who:

The long-secret title of Doctor Who's twelfth episode came out just after our deadline yesterday: It's called "The Stolen Earth." And here's the plot synopsis:

Earth's greatest heroes assemble in a time of dire need, in tonight's penultimate episode in this series of Russell T Davies's Bafta Award-winning time-travelling drama. But can the Doctor's secret army defeat the might of the new Dalek Empire?

With battles on the streets and in the skies, the Doctor and Donna must brave the Shadow Proclamation to find out the truth. However, a fearsome old enemy waits in the shadows...

Fearsome old enemy, presumably = Davros. [BBC, via MTemplar]

In this Saturday's Doctor Who, Donna decides to stay behind by the pool on a resort world, while the Doctor goes off in a shuttle journey to visit a sapphire waterfall. (Donna's hardly in the episode at all.) The shuttle has 10 people on it, but by the end of the episode, there are only 6 left. It's like the inside of a 1970s or 1980s jumbo jet, and an evil entity breaks in and takes over. Someone has to make the ultimate sacrifice. Singer Rafaela Carra appears as the shuttle's "entertainment packae." And someone (Rose?) calls the Doctor's name from a viewscreen, but he doesn't hear. Also, in the following episode, Donna has a "time beetle" on her back. And apparently the founders of the Shadow Proclamation are the Shadow Architects.

And here's a rumored storyline for episode 11, "Turn Left": The Doctor dies fighting the Racnoss (back in the 2006 Christmas special), because Donna isn't there to help him. And the Judoon take over the hospital, killing Martha, because the Doctor's not there. Sarah Jane Smith also dies somehow. The Sontarans nearly kill everybody, and the Torchwood team all die. The Titanic crashes into Earth and causes a nuclear disaster. The Adipose wipe out America because the U.S. is full of fatties. And then the stars start to go out, because it's the end of the universe. And Rose/Bad Wolf comes back. [Doctor Who Forum]

And hey, here are some promo pics from "Turn Left" [Spoiler TV]

Also, the BBC put up a new "FAQ" that actually includes some spoilers. There are "no plans" to bring back the Master. (Really?). The Doctor may have more than 13 lives now that the other Time Lords are gone. You'll see extra areas of the TARDIS (the Doctor's ship) in upcoming episodes. And the Doctor really, really is half-human on his mother's side as the 1996 TV movie established. [BBC]

Incredible Hulk:

IGN got to see some Incredible Hulk footage that explains how the movie will deal with retelling the Hulk's origin in the wake of the Ang Lee movie. The movie's opening credits show footage of gamma-irradiated cells dividing and looking all green and sciencey. Then we cut to Ed Norton in his Science Chair, preparing to Gamma-blast himself as part of an experiment in upgrading his strength, while Betty (Liv Tyler) watches through a window. Then we see the Hulk's hand clawing through the rubble of the lab. Betty gets injured, and her dad General Ross comes in and gets smacked too. Then Betty's in the hospital in a coma, and Bruce (back to normal) is guilt-ridden. General Ross is upset about the failed experiment and doesn't want Bruce anywhere near his daughter, so Bruce goes on the run.

And then we see a montage of newspaper headlines as General Ross hunts for the Hulk, including "GREEN BIGFOOT SPOTTED," plus memos from Nick Fury's desk. And there are crates of Stark Industries weapons (I thought Tony stopped making those?) The whole sequence ends with Bruce waking up, as if from a nightmare. He uses a metronome to calm himself.

Then later, the army tracks down Bruce in Brazil and he runs away, wearing his red hoodie of concealment. He runs into some thugs, who decide to beat him up — so he has to use martial arts to stop them without turning Hulky. He has a wristwatch that monitors his heart rate so he can avoid rising into the Hulk zone. But finally when he's cornered by the army and the local hoodlums, Bruce turns into the Hulk — and dispenses the smackdown.

Also, TV Hulk Lou Ferrigno has two cameos: one is as a security guard who tries to keep Bruce (disguised as a pizza guy) from getting into a science building, only to be bribed with an extra pizza. And yes, the rumor is true: Lou really did dub a few lines of dialogue for the Hulk to speak, which were processed to sound more Hulk-y.

And then there's a sequence where Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) is starting to turn into the Abomination, with spikes sticking out of him. One of his fellow soldiers asks how he's feeling, and he says "Like a monster." Meanwhile, a scientist named Samuel Sterns (who's the evil Leader in the Hulk comics) prepares to administer a Hulk-antidote to Bruce — but for the antidote to work, Sterns has to shock Bruce into becoming the Hulk first.

In another scene, the army throws Bruce out of a helicopter, his hands shackled — in the hope that the fall will get him excited enough to turn into the Hulk and stop the rampage of the Abomination. (Thus overcoming the "cure" that Sterns administered.) But Bruce remains way too calm as he plummets, until he finally opens his eyes and says "Oh, shit." He makes a huge crater... and the pissed-off Hulk climbs out of it. The Abomination and the Hulk collide, with the impact knocking the Hulk back hundreds of feet. [IGN, which has tons more details.]

Transformers 2:

Some new Transformers 2 casting calls have come out. They're looking for extras for a scene set in a Washington, D.C. museum. And a ton of extras for other scenes, especially college-age people. And supposedly star Shia LaBoeuf will be filming a scene at UPenn's Castle Fraternity. [Superhero Hype]

Dragonball:

Some new minor Dragonball spoilers, including the fact that Goku will wear his "classic fighting outfit." And Goku's best friend is named Teto instead of Krillin, as in the original. Chi Chi and Mai fight in the tournament, and Chi Chi wins. [Dragonball Cinema via Comic Book Movie]

Doctor Who:

Tons of new spoilers for Saturday's new Doctor Who episode, and for a change they're from a semi-reputable source. The Daily Mirror newspaper says the "Time Lord is getting a Time Lady," in the form of River Song, the archeologist played by Alex Kingston. (I may be alone in this, but I think the "Time Lady" just means "Time Lord's girlfriend" in this context, not that River is herself a Time Lord.) And yes, it's supposedly true that River reveals that she and the Doctor have a hot romance at some point in his future. And the two of them do have a love story that plays out over the course of two episodes. [The Daily Mirror]

Responding (I think) to those spoilers, one guy on Livejournal says:

it's almost literally like I'm covered in bees. WHY, STEPHEN MOFFAT?! WHY MUST YOU BETRAY MY TRUST WITH BAD FANFICTION?!?! DO NOT WAAAAAANT!!!!

And Digital Spy is once again doing their obnoxious thing of posting real spoilers mixed in with fake ones. Off the top of my head, we already know there are two sonic screwdrivers in the episode (and apparently they don't work on wood.) And we already know the Doctor meets a "figure from his future" (the aforementioned River Song.) And it makes sense that the Doctor "rants against reading spoilers," since knowing your own future can be dangerous. It'll be interesting if the one about former prime minister Harriet Jones' biography having a shocking title turns out to be true. [Digital Spy]

Also, a few more snippets: something terrible happened in the 51st. century library in the past, and that's why it's deserted. And there's a "not very bright girl" named Miss Evangelista. [CBBC]

And here's a new clip from the episode. [Doctor Who Hideout]

Lost:

Here are seven (!) new clips from Thursday night's Lost season finale:

Sigourney Weaver dropped a few more hints about Avatar, the 2009 James Cameron movie she's starring in. Her character, Dr. Grace Augustine, isn't too much like Ripley, her character from the Alien movies. Grace would have wanted a normal life, but chose to devote herself to science. She "has an avatar," and is "very involved" in the movie's plot, including action sequences. In fact, says Weaver, "I would say her real life is as an avatar." (It's not clear what Weaver means, but in an earlier treatments of the movie that's been circulating for years and is believed to be genuine, humans use "avatars," alien-human hybrid bodies, to move around on the surface of the planet Pandora.) Weaver also says Grace is a leader. "Someone who gets the job done. Someone very very driven and smart and yet funny." She modeled the character after Cameron himself. [MTV Movies]

Greatest American Hero:

An informed source spilled details on the Greatest American Hero remake now in development. This version of Ralph Hinkley is the most popular teacher at his school, who connects really well with his students. And he doesn't just fly, he also bursts into flames like the Human Torch — which first happens at the worst possible moment, during a school Open Night in the first half of the film. Also, one of Hinkley's students is Josh, the son of his love-interest Pam. And during one scene, Ralph is talking to Pam, and suddenly has uncontrollable itching on the back of his neck, and has to make a mad dash for the boys' room, where he freaks out about the changes he's going through. The movie also includes a bumbling-but-pompous teacher, Harve Lundy, who has his desk on a pedestal overlooking all his students. [Moviehole]

Star Trek:

At a Star Trek convention this past weekend, Zachary "Spock" Quinto hinted that he does have some scenes with the older Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and with Spock's parents (Winona Ryder and Ben Cross), as we'd pretty much expected. [Trek Movie]

Faran Tahir (who plays the terrorist Raza in Iron Man) also plays Captain Rabu in the new Star Trek movie. He's a new character to Trek, and all Tahir can tell us is his character is the captain of a ship that we've never seen before, and is "one of the good guys." [The Deadbolt]

Iron Man:

That cameo by Samuel L. Jackson as one-eyed, cigar-chomping superspy Nick Fury? Definitely not in the movie. We think. [Starpulse]

Dragonball:

Dragonball producer Tim Van Rellim says our hero Goku dies at the end of the first movie, or the beginning of the second. And Goku's death sets up the storyline of the second film, which they're hoping to start shooting by early next year. [Dragon Ball Movie Blog]

Battlestar Galactica:

Here are some higher res versions of those promo photos we already showed you, from next week's episode. It certainly looks as though some of these pictures take place at Cally's funeral. And President Roslin has a wig: Someone claims to have seen the next four Battlestar Galactica episodes, and offers a ton of spoilers. Grain of salt required, as always. Tyrol "doesn't suspect" Tory of involvement in Cally's death. (Does that mean Tory is involved, and it's not just suicide?) Tyrol feels guilty, but also decides he never really loved Cally because she was too whiny. It also sounds as though Cally, before she dies, admits to Doc Cottle that it's weird that she "basically proposed" to Tyrol after he beat her up.

Baltar's one-god cult grows, and he has a "Jesus overthrowing the money lenders" moment. Tigh gets Six and his dead wife Ellen mixed up. In a mutiny, Sam shoots Felix Gaeta in the leg, and it may have to be amputated. Also, a Six and an Eight die. And so does Seelix. (Noooo!)

Also, Kara keeps getting lost on the way back to Earth, which annoys her crew more and more. And then she picks up a "hitchhiker" — Leoben, who's in a tough scrape after a battle with the other faction of Cylons. Leoben's ship's hybrid tells Starbuck that Three will lead the humans to the Five, who came from the Thirteen (i.e. the thirteenth colony, Earth?). And the Hybrid says Starbuck will lead everyone to their death. [Television Without Pity]

Love Story 2050:

Love Story 2050, the Bollywood time-travel romance that we're all dying to see, takes place in the present for the first half. It's only in the second half that we visit the future, says director Harry Bajewa. [DNA India]

Lost:

The twelfth episode of the current Lost season, "There's No Place Like Home," is rumored to revolve around Claire. And the show is currently filming a funeral which takes place in the future, probably from that episode. At the funeral, Hurley, Sayid and (probably) Jack are there. The funeral appears to be for a "staid older gentleman" — probably Christian Shephard, Jack's dad/boss. Hurley is with a young woman (maybe his old crush Starla) and she's carrying a baby (Aaron?). It looks as though Sayid is with his old flame Nadia, who's not dead yet in this timeframe. (Sayid attends Nadia's funeral in episode nine.) Here are a couple of photos. [Spoilers Lost]
The next episode, April 24, features an "amazing death sequence," which may be related to the return of the smoke monster. Also, the upcoming Claire storyline may be related to actress Emilie de Ravin's new contract. [Ausiello Report]

Stargate: Atlantis:

In the eighth episode of Stargate: Atlantis season five, "Tracker," Ronon, McKay and Keller visit a world where the Wraith have recently arrived. The Wraith turn out to be pursuing a "Runner," a warrior tagged with a homing device so the Wraith can hunt him/her for sport. The Runner, named Kiryk, takes Keller prisoner and leads her to a 10-year-old girl who needs medical attention. Kiryk is surprised to hear that Ronon used to be a Runner, but isn't one any more. Meanwhile, Ronon and McKay have to evacuate a village into nearby caves, with the help of a man named Erran. [Gateworld]

Smallville:

In the 150th episode of Smallville, airing May 1, Kara sends Clark a message from Krypton in the past, warning that Brainiac wants to kill Clark as a baby, so the grown-up (sort of) Clark won't foil his plans in the present. Clark is torn, because he thinks maybe the world would be a better place if he hadn't been there. So his dad, Jor-El, arranges for him to see what life would be like without him: Lex is President of the U.S., Kara was raised by the Luthors, Jonathan Kent is alive, Lana is happily married, and Chloe and Lois are reporters. [KryptonSite]

Doctor Who:

Next year's Doctor Who specials may include a story featuring Winston Churchill and the Daleks. [Doctor Who Forum]

The following quotes appear in this Saturday's Doctor Who episode "Planet of the Ood," except that instead of annoying asterisks, they have actual words:
"Do you like milk and sugar?"
"The ****** must be broken, so that we can ****."
"Very observant, ginger."
"I think your **** must *** soon. Every **** must ***."
"We don't just ***** the Ood, we make them ******."
"That thing about the bees is odd." [Planet Gallifrey]

The Dark Knight:

At one point in the new Batman movie, the Joker gets up in Christian Bale's face and quotes that Brokeback Mountain line about "You complete me," but in a really stalkery, unnerving way. (I thought that was a line from Jerry Maguire?) Also, there's a scene where the Joker gets inside a body bag and pretends to be dead, which freaked out everyone in the audience of an early preview screening — and it may have to be edited out. The movie's soundtrack includes a Jaws-esque tension-inducing heartbeat sound. Eric Roberts plays an icky mobster. Everyone in the movie, not just Harvey/Two-Face, has some kind of duality. [Batman on Film]

X-Files 2:

UGO has one of its spoiler roundups about X-Files 2, and doesn't really add much new information. Except supposedly the movie starts with scrolling introductory text, like Star Wars, to bring new viewers up to speed. And it does reference old episodes of the show. And Mitch Pileggi may be back as Skinner. And Mulder and Scully may encounter creatures they first met on the TV show. [UGO]

Dragonball:

James Masters, who plays Piccolo in Dragonball, will have the silliest fake latex muscles you've ever seen. At least, they look pretty stunning in this picture from make-up artist Edward French's home page. French won't reveal the prosthetic makeup he spent four hours applying to Marsters, but he did show off everything below the neck. [Edward French, via I Watch Stuff]

Heroes:

Season three of Heroes will introduce two new characters, because the show isn't overcrowded enough already: Joy, who's in her early twenties and good at getting herself into, and out of, trouble. And Senator Robert Malden, a "political straight shooter" in his fifties. [TV Guide]

Doctor Who:

Towards the end of Doctor Who season four, rumor has it we'll hear more references to the Medusa Cascade, which the Master mentioned at the end of season three. Also, still more rumors that Davros is showing up. And the final episode is supposedly extra long, which means it'll be extra-butchered for American viewers.

And the new Doctor Who Magazine includes key quotes from some upcoming episodes. In the Pompeii episode, the Doctor tells Donna, "Some things are fixed, some things are in flux, and Pompeii is fixed...That's how I see the universe. All the time, every waking second: what is, what was, what could be, what must not. That's the burden of a Time Lord, Donna."

In the Ood episode, the Doctor says, "The Ood aren't born like this, can't be - a species born to serve could never evolve in the first place. What does the company do, to make them obey?"

In the Sontaran two-parter, the Doctor says, "Whatever you do, Colonel Mace, do not engage the Sontarans in battle. There's nothing they like better than war! Leave this to me..." [Doctor Who Forum]

Smallville:

The 150th Smallville episode, airing May 1, will resolve the Clark/Brainiac story once and for all. That's the episode where Clark visits a world where he never crash-landed on Earth. (Think the Buffy storyline where Buffy never came to Sunnydale.) And in the alternate reality, Chloe is engaged to be married, while Alt-Lex will have a fancy job with an even fancier office. [Ask Ausiello]

Lost:

That "spectacular kiss" in the Lost season finale happens between a boy and a girl, and it doesn't take place on the island [E! Online]

The season finale involves a "big scene" involving the rescue of the Oceanic Six from the island, soon to be filmed. But the freighter crew aren't the ones who rescue the Six, and the cliffhanger will "leave you ballistic." Also, in the last five episodes of the season, we learn a lot more about Kate's love-life, both in the present and in flash-forwards. [Spoilers Lost]

Ben 10

The new Ben 10 series, Ben 10: Alien Force, takes place five years after the original series, with a more mature Ben. Ben goes to visit his grandfather, but aliens attack and his grandpa goes missing. So Ben teams up with Gwen, plus Max's old partner, an alien plumber, and they bust a weapons deal that turns out to be the work of Kevin Eleven, now back in human form. Despite being pissed about his deal going south, Kevin agrees to help Ben's team, and they use a "spiffy piece of alien tech" to infiltrate an alien base. The mission is mostly successful, but they the plumber dies, and they still need to find and rescue Grandpa Max. Meanwhile, Ben's watch has transformed and gives him access to a whole new set of aliens. The show launches April 18 on Cartoon Network. [Toonzone]

Incredible Hulk:

Here's a new video about the making of Incredible Hulk that turned up online recently. It's mostly scenes from the trailer, interspersed with some interviews, but there's a bit of new footage in there, especially more background on the origins of the movie's version of the Abomination, played by Tim Roth:

Dragonball:

Here are some new set photos from the live-action Dragonball movie, which give our first glimpses of the costumes. Fox tried to suppress these photos, but Dragonball information wants to be free. [TrekMovie]

Lost:

Some more spoilers for the eleventh Lost episode of the season, where we witness the birth of Locke. Not only is grown-up Locke there, but so is Matthew Abaddon, Widmore's underling who organized the freighter trip. And there's a scene in the 1950s or 1960s where a six-year-old girl runs out in the street and gets run over. Also, we see a teenage Locke in the 1950s, arguing with his schoolteacher about whether science is really valid. Locke's high school team is the Cowin Heights Knights. Meanwhile, Sun, Jin, Farraday and Charlotte wander the jungle, and there's a mysterous Dharma doorway.

Also, the season finale features two Australians: A 40-ish blonde named Donna who has to deliver bad news, and Millbanks, a tough outdoorsman. [Spoilers Lost]

Battlestar Galactica:

We won't find out who the final Cylon is until late in Battlestar Galactica's fourth season, meaning in late 2008 or 2009. Also, the un-boxing of D'Anna (Lucy Lawless)'s Cylon leads up to us learning what she knows, which sets in motion the show's final climax. [TrekWeb]

And here are official descriptions the next 10 Battlestar episodes, which give away huge chunks of plot development, including an alliance between the humans and one group of Cylons in the coming Cylon civil war:

• "Six of One" - Conflict and mistrust torment humans and Cylons alike, as both sides struggle to understand their respective mythologies - one rooted on Earth, the other in the mysteries of the Final Five.
• "The Ties that Bind" - With Kara Thrace piloting a lone freighter in her desperate search for Earth, political intrigue and marital discord aboard the Galactica are paralleled by deep rifts in the Cylons' solidarity.
• "Escape Velocity" - Religious freedom is debated and defended as the messianic Gaius Baltar promotes his belief in one true God.
• "The Road Less Travelled" - The prospect of a truce between humanity and the Cylons encourages Starbuck to trust an old enemy.
• "Faith" - The cancer-stricken President Laura Roslin and hotheaded pilot Kara Thrace both must make difficult leaps of faith in order to accept an uneasy alliance with the Cylons.
• "Guess What's Coming to Dinner" - President Roslin's leadership is tested as the Galactica teams up with Cylon rebels in a plot to destroy the enemy's vital Resurrection Hub.
• "Sine Qua Non" - President Roslin's abduction by the Cylon Hybrid triggers a bitter power struggle within the Colonial fleet.
• "The Hub" - In pursuit of the enemy's Resurrection Hub, a misfit team of Viper pilots and Cylon rebels become uneasy collaborators as they formulate a battle plan.
• "Revelations" - A band of rebel Cylons holds President Roslin hostage while attempting to lure the Final Five out of hiding inside the Galactica and the human fleet.
• "Untitled" - Starbuck learns that the dire predictions of the Cylon Hybrid might be true, and a devastating discovery plunges the fleet into chaos and despair.
  

Doctor Who:

In the Doctor Who season finale, when all the old companions come back, Martha will be among them. And Sarah Jane Smith's robot dog K-9 will also make an appearance. It will be "nose to nipple" in the TARDIS. Every episode of the season is full of clues to how it ends, including someone saying, "She's back" in the second episode. And the tenth episode, "Midnight," is "psychologically creepy" in a way the show has never been before. [Daily Star]

A lot of the rumors about the season finale are true, says Russell T. Davies, but nobody's gotten the whole picture yet. And it does look as though Davros will be back. Also, ex-Prime Minister Harriet Jones will be back in the finale. [Edinburgh Evening News]

And here are some photos from this Saturday's Pompeii episode. [Planet Gallifrey]

Iron Man

We won't see Iron Man's fellow armored superhero War Machine in the Iron Man movie, but we may get to see Jim Rhodes (who becomes War Machine) put on Iron Man's old armor to rescue Tony Stark, based on hints actor Terence Howard dropped. [IESB]

Dragonball

Here's a picture of the Mexican set for the new Dragonball movie, opening in 2009. It looks like some kind of crater, presumably with CGI stuff happening in the middle where the greenscreen is. [Slashfilm]

Lost

There are rumors that the next Lost episode (the one with the funeral in Iraq) will also feature "GI Jack (aka "Through the Looking Glass" Jack)" in action, and could be a multi-character flash-forward. The episode definitely will feature scenes on the beach, in Otherton, and in the forested valley where Karl was shot. There's also a rumor there will be no Sawyer-centric episode this season. [DocArzt]

Smallville

The April 24 episode of Smallville, "Sleeper," feaures a blonde femme fatale named Vanessa, sent to investigate one of the characters. [BabetteW54]

Battlestar Galactica

Here are the official first 15 episode titles of season four: "He That Believeth In Me," "Six of One," "The Ties That Bind," "Escape Velocity," "The Road Less Travelled," "Faith," "Guess What's Coming to Dinner," "Sine Qua Non," "The Hub," "Revelations," "Sometimes a Great Notion," "The Disquiet That Follows my Soul," "The Oath," "Blood on the Scales," and "No Exit." [Pop Media Cult]

Batman

Robin's dead ex-girlfriend, Spoiler, recently started turning up mysteriously in some of the Batman comics, but we won't find out who the new Spoiler is until this summer. But she's someone we know, says writer Chuck Dixon. Also, Robin will soon face a "true badass" named 666Gun, who will force Robin to rethink his view on the world. And an upcoming storyline will challenge Tim Drake's present as Robin, and his hard-won future as Batman. This synopsis, plus an upcoming cover image (below), gives weight to the idea that Batman will be dying and Robin will take his place. [Comic Book Resources]

Marvel Comics

A low-level Marvel employee dished some minor spoilers (and bitched about the company) in a Livejournal that was deleted over the weekend. Apparently, spoilers included that several of the company's classic 1970s heroes will turn out to have been replaced by shape-shifting alien Skrulls years ago (as part of the big "Secret Invasion") — and that means blaxploitation hero Luke Cage will be back to his original tiara-wearing, yellow shirt look. Also, Iron Man may get a new villain: MODOG. And Spider-Man's dead girlfriend Gwen Stacy may be back. [Lying In The Gutters]

SpoilersLost has posted more incredibly detailed Lost spoilers, for tonight's episode and next week's episode.

In tonight's Lost, Hurley decides to go with Locke instead of Jack when everybody splits up. But future Hurley, in his mental institution, says going with Locke was a mistake and led to all his future crazitude. Future Hurley is seeing the ghost of Charlie and wants to go back to the island, but future Jack (who doesn't have his beard yet) says they're never going back.

And then next week, we meet one of the freighter people, Myles, who can talk to the dead and ask them where their drug stashes are hidden (really.) And someone has gone to elaborate lengths to fake the recovery of Oceanic Flight 815 — but the news reports mess up and show a picture of the pilot who was supposed to be on the plane, not the pilot who actually replaced him at the last minute.

Locke and his crew have custody of Ben, who's trying his usual mind games. And one of the freighter people, a blonde woman named Charlotte, parachutes in front of Locke's crew. Meanwhile, Jack's crew ends up with Myles and another freighter person, Daniel, who are suspicious about Naomi's death. A fourth freighter person, Frank, gets hurt when his chopper crashes and lights a flare. We see a flashback to Naomi talking to her boss about how unsuited Myles, Daniel, Frank and Charlotte are for this mission.

It turns out the freighter crew's mission on the island is to capture or kill Ben, who has a spy on the freighter. [SpoilersLost]

More spoilers:

• In the live-action Dragonball movie, James Marsters plays Lord Piccolo. Here's how he describes the character: "He's thousands of years old and a very long time ago he used to be a force of good but got into a bad argument and was put into prison for 2,000 years. It got him very angry, and he finds a way to escape and then tries to destroy the world. The cool thing is, anybody who has seen Dragonball knows that Lord Piccolo transforms into a character named Piccolo, and that is a whole other ball of wax. That is one of the most popular characters in the whole series. I've been told I'm working for people who will just flay me alive if I give too much information, but what I can tell you is the character is green, bald and has pointed ears. Heroic wouldn't be the wrong term by the end, but it's a long journey." [TVGuide]
• The Watchmen movie includes the rape scene from the comic, Sally Jupiter actress Carla Gugino says. It'll also have fancy opening credits that show off the whole history of the Watchmen. [MTV Movies]
• And here are a bunch of new pics from Stephen Chow's CJ7. The coolest of these are ones we've already seen before, but they're better quality. And apparently there's a tranny with a heart of gold. [IGN]

• Cilian Murphy's Scarecrow will be back in The Dark Knight, and we'll get to meet Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl. Also, there will be at least one fake Batman, as we reported a while back. The movie also includes Boss Maroni, the crimelord who scars Harvey Dent into becoming Two-Face in the comics. And Harvey's journey is the real backbone of the movie. [IESB, Empire]
• The live-action Dragonball movie is filming in Mexico, and HoyCinema has a set report and some ultra-blurry photos. Nothing too exciting, but you can glimpse some hot-pink costumes and a fight scene being shot. [HoyCinema, via IESB]
• A few new details about Stephen Chow's CJ7 (plus that pic we posted a month ago): Even though Chow's character is a poor laborer, he saves up to send his son to a private school. When the son brings his new alien "pet" to school, chaos ensues. [Slashfilm]
• Tons of people saw Cloverfield last night, so it's going to be pretty easy to find spoilery write-ups. Here's one. And here. And here.
• Everything comes together in the Feb. 2 Flash Gordon: Terek the deviate launches a revolution, Aura confronts Ming about her bloodline, Ming orders Rankol's execution for being a celetroph, and Flash makes a "shocking discovery." Oh and we meet a Queen of Mongo, who probably wears really cute slit skirts. [SpoilerTV]
• The Master Chief will be a "supporting character" in the Halo movie, says a screenwriter. [CHUD]
• If you really want to be the sort of person who reads text-based summaries of movie trailers, here's someone's synopsis of the new Star Trek teaser trailer. [Slashfilm]
• Episode 11 of Torchwood season two will be a super-dark story in which Gwen's old police colleague Andy asks her help in solving a missing-children case. [SyFyPortal]
• Jericho season two will reveal more about Jake's five years in Iraq, including an ugly secret that comes back to haunt him. Also, someone unwelcome comes back (I'm guessing Emily's dad, the bandit who helped Jericho take out New Bern's mortars) and an important person visits the town. Emily learns about an important change that affects America's future, and Eric gets an awesome job offer. [Ask Ausiello]
• Here are those new promo pics for next week's Sarah Connor Chronicles. Sarah begins investigating a possible threat, involving a guy named Andy, while a Dr. Fleming does an experiment for the newly reassembled evil Terminator. [SpoilerTV]

No. But it will have hella cool stunts. Stephen Chow (Shaolin Soccer) is producing, and director James Wong will work with stunt performance company 87Eleven, which worked on The Matrix and 300. Buffy actor James Marsters will star as the villain, Piccolo. If Chow brings his trademark kinetic wit and Marsters conjures a smidgen of his Spike swagger, Dragonball could be several cuts above most cartoon/video game adaptations.
