Seth Green's Mom To Be Stolen By Martians

Meredith Woerner — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 12:41:01 PST

Pity Seth Green. His mama is going to be kidnapped and taken to Mars, in a new motion-capture Disney picture, based on the book Mars Needs Moms.

Seth will be portraying young Milo, whose mother is kidnapped and taken to Mars — and it's up to him to get her back, using all the crazy Robot Chicken ninja skills at his disposal.

The aliens' overlord will be Mindy Sterling, whom Seth worked with on Austin Powers (as the crazed yelly German). and Joan Cusack will be playing Milo's Mama.

The film, adapted from the childrens' book beautifully illustrated by by Berkeley Breathed, is being directed by Simon Wells.

Joss Whedon and Ron Moore Want to Kill Seth Green

Lauren Davis — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 15:00:00 PST

Seth Green is currently guest starring on Heroes, but in this clip from tomorrow night’s Robot Chicken season premiere, Tim Kring wasn’t the first science fiction television producer he approached for work. Green and his Robot Chicken co-creator Matthew Senreich find themselves unemployed and ask Joss Whedon and Battlestar Galactica creator Ron Moore for a job. The meetings don’t go as well as they had hoped, but expose everything you secretly suspected about the producers.

The fourth season of Robot Chicken premieres tomorrow night at 11:30pm, or you can preview the entire episode online.

Meet Bob Goldstein, Jedi Injury Lawyer

There is seriously nothing better than a Robot Chicken Star Wars joke. Seriously where else can you see the Emperor make Darth Vader cry like a little baby for teasing him that he killed his wife Panda Bear or whatever? It's the creme de la creme of Star Wars spoofery. Sunday's premiere of Robot Chicken's Star Wars Episode II is slowly approaching and I can barely contain my excitement. To tide you over, we present you all with this awesome clip of Robot Chicken's Bob Goldstein, personal injury lawyer to those viciously attacked by careless Jedis. The special airs on Cartoon Network at 11:30 PM.

Heroes Embrace, Cast Comic Book Fans

Graeme McMillan — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 15:30:00 PDT

It's taken them three seasons, but Heroes is finally embracing its heritage with the announcement that Seth Green and Breckin Meyer are to join the cast of NBC's superhuman drama, playing two massive comic book nerds. Does this mean that we're going to see more of 9th Wonders, the show's deus ex comic book plot device?

According to Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello, the two fanboys are going to "cross paths with (and perhaps serve as advisors to) one of the Heroes." No mention of which Hero it would be, but my fingers are crossed that it's not the already-geeky Hiro. Instead, why not show someone with imagination teaching Peter what he can really do with all those powers of his, or teach Sylar that, with great power, comes great responsibility?
