Behind The Screen – 27 March 2009

No, there aren’t gonna be any Jade Goody jokes. I am however starting a line of ‘Don’t stick it to the Shetty’ T-Shirts. One major tragedy for sci-fi fans this week however has been the final episode of Battlestar Galactica being aired. The last ever episode of the series pulled in 324,000 viewers in the UK for Sky 1 which is a pretty impressive figure. I’ll admit, and I’ll be chastised for this I’m sure, this is the one show I missed – my sky plus box is only so big and my hard drive is full of ‘other items’; but I’ve been reliably informed by friends of mine that it was, and I quote,…

Griff’s Nerdles Blog – TV And Movie Omnibus Edition – 28th March, 2009

This weeks’ TV and Movie News… Little Fockers Gets Director! It looks like Peter Segal will be directing Little Fockers, the third movie in the Meet the Parents series. Peter Segal, if you didn’t know, is responsible for Anger Management, Get Smart, The Longest Yard and 50 First Date.

Sam Raimi Talks Evil Dead 4!

An exclusive interview on EmpireOnline has been put up, with Spiderman director Sam Raimi. He has revealed that a script has now been started for Evil Dead 4 – of which apparently there is currently 9 pages in total. Going to be short and sweet then, eh Sam? Bruce Campbell has still been confirmed as being “firmly in mind” to reprise the role of Ash. According to the interview, Raimi “revealed” some stuff on the script (of which I should imagine there were slim pickings if it’s only 9 pages long…). He stated: “There’s some dialogue. Ash being an idiot. Ash taking some abuse. Some character stuff and then some structure of Act Two. Just…
